Volume 1: The First Cry of the Rhine Chapter [076]: The Brightest Player of the Eight Nations
The draw with the Cyprus youth team was almost devoid of any domestic coverage.
The group of sunspots on the Internet has also stopped.
Gu Zhen scored a goal to help the national youth team equalize, but they didn't want to mention it at all. So, they're all dormant right now, waiting for the next opportunity.
These guys were repelled by Gu Zhen.
However, the official website of the Mainz club was updated with Gu Zhen's news, reporting his goal in the Eight Nations Invitational Tournament. This is to show that the Mainz club attaches great importance to Gu Zhen, indicating that they have been paying attention to Gu Zhen now.
Fans in Mainz naturally saw these news, and some people left messages to cheer for Gu Zhen.
Of course, Gu Zhen, who is far away in Qatar, has no heart to pay attention to these.
Soon, the second match of the group stage was started.
This time, China's U19 youth team's opponent is the Uzbekistan youth team, which has played against them in the Weifang Cup. The most dangerous man in this team is their No.10 Shkokhov, who scored five goals in five games in last year's Weifang Cup and was the tournament's top scorer.
This guy is strong, and the national youth team has to focus on defense.
Moreover, in last year's competition, the Chinese youth team lost to the opponent. This time they are here for revenge and must defeat the Uzbek youth team.
Gu Zhen still appeared in the starting list, and as soon as he came up, he felt that something was wrong.
Yes, the Uzbek youth team is very strict with his defense, and it can be seen that the opposing manager has done his homework.
Gu Zhen played very awkwardly, and the opponent's defense was very tight.
In the first half, the national youth team had few good chances, but the Uzbek side almost broke the goal of the Chinese youth team on several occasions.
At this time, some people on the domestic network naturally began to hack Gu Zhen again.
And those words are very ugly, I can't wait to use words to eliminate Gu Zhen.
However, at the beginning of the second half of the game, Gu Zhen was very active. The defenders of the Uzbekistan youth team really can't control Gu Zhen, and their goals are getting more and more dangerous.
"Old Gu, catch the ball!" Hui Jiakang on the wing rushed up and sent the ball to the front point with a low flat curling ball.
Gu Zhen cut diagonally from behind the central defender of the Uzbekistan youth team, went around to the opponent, scored directly with a tackle, and sent the football into the opponent's goal.
This is Gu Zhen's second goal in this competition.
Liu Chunming couldn't stop applauding and said: "Gu Zhen feels really good in front of the goal, he is the most prominent player in this national youth team, and the future of Chinese football will depend on him!" ”
Wang Jun and others all bowed their heads one after another and expressed their agreement.
Five minutes later, Gu Zhen once again used his speed and explosiveness to quickly rush to the front point, grabbed in front of the central defender, knocked the football to the middle with his heel, and the follow-up Zhang Chengtong met the ball and pushed the empty goal, 2-0.
After scoring the goal, Zhang Chengtong ran directly to Gu Zhen and gave Gu Zhen a hug.
Liu Chunming couldn't stop nodding and said, "Compared with last year, we only have one more Gu Zhen. But the performance on the pitch is completely reversed, what does that mean? ”
Wang Jun said with a serious face: "This shows that Gu Zhen's level is significantly higher than the average level of this age group, and even significantly higher than the highest level of this age group." ”
Zheng Xiong bowed his head slightly and said, "He's very strong!" ”
The head coach of the Uzbekistan youth team stared at Gu Zhen tightly and shook his head, obviously Gu Zhen's level also surprised him.
He muttered: "When did China have such a great player? ”
The game isn't over yet.
In the 40th minute of the second half of the game, after Gu Zhen received a pass from Wu Xi on the line of the penalty area, he suddenly got up and shot and made a beautiful arc. The ball went straight past the goalkeeper of the Uzbek youth team and flew into the top right corner of the goal.
3-0, the Chinese U19 youth team defeated the Uzbekistan youth team and avenged last year's one-shot victory.
After this game, the youth team and the Cyprus youth team are one win, one draw and four points, and now the youth team ranks first with a goal difference, the Cyprus youth team ranks second, the Uzbekistan youth team ranks third with one draw and one loss, and the host Qatar has zero points in both games, ranking at the bottom of the group.
After these two rounds of matches, the most shining player in this Qatar Eight Nations Invitational Tournament is Gu Zhen, Gu Zhen scored three goals and gave an assist in two games, and the four goals of the national youth team are directly related to him, which is to make the players and coaches of the other seven countries pay attention to him.
Gu Zhen: This is really famous!
In the last round of the game, the Chinese national youth team faced the host Qatar youth team.
The Chinese national youth team is not yet fully qualified, and they need at least one draw to ensure qualification. Therefore, the youth team is facing the curse of qualifying after a draw in the last round. I don't know if the youth team can break this spell and successfully qualify this time?
To tell the truth, Liu Chunming is very confident.
The strength of the Qatar youth team is still much weaker than they imagined, before this game, Qatar did not score a single goal, and the national youth team was not able to win this game?
Liu Chunming is full of confidence.
Gu Zhen was once again sent by him to the starting list to compete in the Qatar team.
However, after the start of the game, the Qatar youth team surprised many people. Everyone thought that the Qatar youth team would definitely be powerless to parry this game and would be blasted by the youth team. Just ten minutes into the game, the Qatar youth team won a penalty, and the opposing striker hit the lead and took the lead.
Liu Chunming was very angry!
The damn referee's penalty scale is simply two standards.
Nima's youth team players were knocked to the ground by a frantic sliding tackle, and they didn't get a yellow card, not even a foul. A slight touch from the Qatar youth team on this side and even a fall to the ground was a foul by the youth team, and even a light push made three players of the youth team get yellow cards.
Liu Chunming's lungs are about to explode!
What are you going to do with this Nima?
Yes, Liu Chunming burst into foul language, and her heart was very angry.
In the stadium, Gu Zhen was also very angry and angry. stared at the referee of the game, how could this damn guy's heart be so black?
Gu Zhen clenched his fists and roared in his heart: "You are determined to lose this game!" ”
Gu Zhen was very desperate, frequently interspersed with running in the front court, tossing back and forth, and the players of the Qatar youth team couldn't keep up with Gu Zhen at all, only exhausted.
In the 40th minute of the first half of the game, Gu Zhen made a big detour in the penalty area, and after attracting the attention of the opposing player, he suddenly changed direction and rushed to the back point, fell to the ground and slid the sloppy shovel, shoveling the football passed by Wu Xi into the goal of the Qatar youth team.
This is Gu Zhen's fourth goal of the tournament, and he is also outstanding in the scorer list.
In the twentieth minute of the second half of the game, Gu Zhen attracted a lot of Qatar youth team defenders on the penalty line, and then he suddenly picked the football diagonally to the back point, directly to the back point, and Cao Yunding, who followed up at the back point, directly volleyed the football into the goal of the Qatar national youth team, 2 to 1, and the national youth team overtook the score.
After overtaking the score, the players of the national youth team were very, very excited.
Some players even ran in front of the referee's face with great vigour, celebrated wildly, and slapped the referee in the face. The referee's face was gloomy, like a brick.
Since then, the referee's penalty scale has become more and more strict, and the Qatar youth team has become more and more lax, and all kinds of flying tackles are almost no fouls.
Seeing the Qatari people's movements getting bigger and bigger, Liu Chunming frowned, and was worried in his heart.
As a last resort, Liu Chunming replaced Gu Zhen, Zhang Ningpeng and Wu Xi, and he wanted to protect the players of the youth team from injury. Where the Qataris are still playing football, they are simply kicking people.
Liu Chunming also reminded the young and middle-aged players on the court to pay attention to safety.
When Gu Zhen was replaced, his heart was full of anger and he was very unhappy.
Nima, a warm-up tournament for fun, can you use it like this?
Gu Zhen couldn't help shaking his head, very disappointed with this Qatar Eight Nations Invitational Tournament.
In the thirtieth minute of the second half, the referee awarded another penalty and gave another penalty to the Qatar youth team.
In the face of such a penalty, the players of the youth team were speechless.
Angry with their madness, they frantically besieged the referee, and the referee showed two yellow cards in a row to warn the players of the youth team, and the players of the youth team dispersed.
With a bang, Liu Dian saved the opponent's penalty kick, very relieved.
However, the referee signaled for a penalty kick to be reissued, saying that a young and middle-aged player had entered the penalty area in advance. However, the slow-motion replay did not find that the youth team players entered the penalty area in advance......
The Qatar youth team seized the opportunity to resend the penalty into the goal of the youth team and equalized the score at 2-2.
The players of the Qatar youth team are like wild cows, frantically messing around the stadium, besieging the goals of the youth team, but they are scoreless, and the Qataris are even more anxious.
It didn't take long for Hui Jiakang of the youth team to be shown a second yellow card and sent off with a red card.
Hui Jiakang was confused, what did he do?
The referee signaled that Hui Jiakang pushed someone to foul!
Hui Jiakang's face was full of confusion, when did he push someone? Hui Jiakang immediately stretched out his hand and pointed to his eyes, as if to say, "Did you bring your eyes?" Do you have long eyes? ”
Hui Jiakang was very angry, but he couldn't change the fate of being punished.
The national youth team has one less person to fight, and the Qataris are attacking like crazy, but unfortunately their strength is really too poor, and there is no real threat from the national youth team at all.
The referee should be scolding his mother in his heart at this time: "Lao Tzu has helped you so much, you have scored a goal!" ”
Unfortunately, the Qatar youth team disappointed the referee.
In the end, the Qatar youth team did not score again, 2-2, and the Qatar youth team got a point.
The players of the youth team were very angry in this game, and Liu Chunming appealed after the game, but as for the result, the devil knows!
After this round of matches, the group stage is over.
The first team in this group is the Uzbekistan youth team, with two wins and one loss with six points. In second place is the Chinese youth team with one win, two draws and five points. These two teams advanced to the semi-finals, and the other two teams that advanced to the semi-finals were Japan Youth and Poland.
In the semifinals, the Chinese youth team, which was second in the group, played against the Japanese youth team, which was the first in the group.
