On May 18, the group stage was over.

In the end, China, Japan and Syria represented Asia in the round of 16, while only South Korea were eliminated in the group stage of the four Asian teams.

Argentina defeated the European powerhouse Germany Youth Team in the final round of the life-and-death battle.

Messi scored the only goal for the team.

Argentina was not eliminated from the group stage.

Otherwise, it would be a shame for the team with the highest call to win the championship before the game to go home without even qualifying for the group stage.

Thankfully, they didn't let the tragedy of the Argentine senior national team in the 2002 World Cup be repeated.

※※※

After a two-day break after the group stage, the World Youth Championship is about to be rekindled.

The Chinese team and Germany were drawn together.

They will meet in the quarterfinals.

The German youth team must be very familiar with Glory......

Although it was a tough battle next, Crouchen still gave the whole team a half-day off after the group stage.

Although the time was tight, it was not possible to push too hard. Young players are still a bit playful, so you can't keep pushing them, you have to give them a chance to relax.

One piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and military.

This is also understood by the old German man Crouchen.

This holiday season allows players to take a nap or go shopping.

It's been so long since they've been in the Netherlands, but they've never really learned about the country.

Many players of the Chinese youth team have met to go out to play and buy gifts for themselves or their families.

Of course, they didn't forget to call it glory.

However, Glory rejected their kindness.

So early the next morning, many players of the Chinese national youth team went shopping.

Rongguang came to the hotel's gym alone.

Usually there will be more or less players from the national youth team training here.

Today, however, the gym looks empty.

There is only one Glory.

He turned on the TV in front of his bike, intending to watch it while training and kill the boring training time.

In order to match the gym, the channels on the TV are all sports channels by default.

Rong Guang had just been on the apparatus for not long before the commercials on the TV were played, followed by sports news.

A beautiful Dutch announcer is broadcasting sports news for the audience.

The World Junior Championships in the Netherlands, held on home soil, naturally topped the list.

The final result of the group stage was presented in the news, and Glory saw the match between Argentina and Germany on TV, Argentina's number 10, and Messi scored a beautiful goal in the game.

That's what he's up against at the World Junior Championships.

Rongguang looked at it very seriously.

It's not tall, but it's flexible, fast, and has a good ball feel under your feet.

Very good indeed.

That's right, that's what makes such an opponent interesting!

That European Youth Championship runner-up really made him want to yawn, he blew so hard at first, but the result was not vulnerable at all......

Shouldn't the World Junior Championships be a tournament that brings together the best young people in the world?

I didn't see many powerful young people in the group stage.

Now that he saw the video of Messi's game, he realized that there are still ......

It's just that if you want to meet them, you need to defeat the opponent in front of you first.

Germany's youth team?

Although he plays in Germany, there are few people in the youth team who know him.

If you have to find someone who has something to do with glory...... Then perhaps only German youth full-back Marcel Janssen.

Because Janssen played against Glory in the Bundesliga last season.

At that time, Janssen represented Borussia Mönchengladbach and had a league meeting with Glory.

Because he is a left wing-back, he is often able to play against Glory, who mainly plays on the right flank.

For him, it must have been an experience he didn't want to recall.

As a peer, he was a little unable to find the north by the glory.

The big man of 1.91 meters looked particularly clumsy in front of Glory's speed and dexterity.

Of course, Janssen was deeply impressed by Rongguang, but Rongguang must not know who Janssen was - he didn't know that he had to face few opponents in a season, and he still couldn't remember those famous players, let alone a nobody at the time.

And Rongguang rarely has the habit of knowing his opponent specifically.

So this German youth team is still very new to him......

※※※

After the news of the World Junior Championships, the screen turned, and Kaka's figure appeared on the screen.

Rongguang, who had planned to bury his head down, was shocked when he saw Kaka's figure.

Kaka is pictured wearing the jersey of the Brazilian national team and is running during the game.

"The second round of the Confederations Cup will be played tonight. Brazil will face Mexico's challenge in Hanover. In the first round of the group stage, Brazil defeated Greece 3-0 and won very easily. Kaka, who helped AC Milan to a Champions League triumph, was in fine form, scoring twice in the first game to help Brazil win...... As a player who has just won the Champions League, Kaka is definitely the most eye-catching star of the Confederations Cup......

Confederations Cup?

Rongguang never knew that there was such a competition in Ludao.

And it's also a national team competition.

Listening to this venue, it seems to be in Germany......

I have to say that Rongguang really doesn't care about the football world other than him.

He had never heard of such an important competition before......

But it's not too late to know the way.

Because Rongguang found out that Kaka also performed very well in this competition!

I just won the Champions League, and I also showed such a good form in the national team competition...... This is the rhythm of throwing yourself farther and farther away!

No way!

He must not be allowed to get his wish!

Thinking of this, Rongguang lowered his head, raised the resistance of the bike, and accelerated the bike through gritted teeth.

In this way, while the teammates of the youth team were touring the Dutch cityscape, Rongguang competed with Kaka in the gym for a morning......

※※※

While Rongguang competes with Kaka in the gym, Kaka lies in his hotel room watching TV.

The same sports news, but sports news in Germany.

Naturally, the Federation newspaper is a top priority.

Kaka wasn't interested in that, though.

It wasn't until Glory appeared on the TV screen that Kaka sat up from his bed.

The announcer spoke German, which he didn't understand.

But that didn't stop him from understanding the meaning.

Unlike Rongguang, who doesn't know anything about the Confederations Cup, Kaka knows and pays attention to the World Junior Championships.

He knows what Rongguang's performance is at the World Youth Championships, and although he didn't watch the live broadcast of the three games, he also watched the game highlights and news reports.

Zhilu Dao Rongguang is now the hottest superstar at the World Junior Championships.

Thinking of this, Kaka pursed his lips.

A person who is already a top star in professional football, and he is embarrassed to run a game like the Youth Championship!

He went to the competition when a Godzilla monster broke into the kindergarten......

As for the Argentine Messi, in Kaka's view, it can't be compared with glory at all, at least not now.

In the next one-eighth final of the World Youth Championships, Rongguang's Chinese team and Germany were drawn together, so the German media paid relatively more attention.

What is the attitude of the German media, Kaka does not know what to say, because he does not understand and cannot understand German.

However, he thinks it will be difficult for the German youth team to stop the glory......

What's not good, this year's Chinese team, because of its glory, was able to break into the finals!

Seeing Glory mixed so beautifully at the World Youth Championships.

Kaka is also full of motivation.

If Rongguang leads the Chinese team to the final of the World Youth Championship, then he will also lead Brazil to the final of the Confederations Cup!

And, he had to win the title before he did – according to the schedule, the Confederations Cup final was three days before the World Junior Championship final.

※※※

Breaks are always short.

Three days later, the Chinese team welcomed their opponent Germany in the quarterfinals against the backdrop of the sunset.

Before this match, the preparation of both sides was a completely different mentality.

The Chinese team is relaxed now. On the one hand, they know Germany very well, because Krauchen is German, and most of the players in this team have also been training in Germany for a long time, and have been playing against the youth teams and reserve teams of various German clubs.

Another aspect is that the German national youth team is really not strong. Many players in the Chinese team have played in the Chinese Super League. And many of the German youth teams are still playing youth games or regional amateur competitions.

There aren't many players who are really a bit famous.

They have a first-choice goalkeeper, Adler, who has only been able to play in the regional league for Bayer Leverkusen II, and has not played for the first team despite being in the first team.

The same is true for Otter, who plays for Bayern Munich's youth team.

In their squad, Janssen is more experienced, having played 18 Bundesliga games for Borussia Mönchengladbach this season.

So this German youth team is not as good as the senior team.

The third and most important reason is that the Chinese team has glory.

Having played two seasons in the Bundesliga, Glory is familiar with German football and knows how to deal with him.

With him, the players of the Chinese team are very relieved.

Contrary to the relaxation of the Chinese team, the German team is like a big enemy.

Mainly because of the glory.

If the players and coaches of the youth teams of other countries do not know Glory very well, then there are still people who believe it, and if the people of the German youth team do not know about Glory, then absolutely no one believes it.

In Germany, Glory is famous and is already the most popular star in the Bundesliga.

It is said that the glory has been confirmed to have won last season's Bundesliga player of the year.

There is a lot of pressure on players of this level to be the opponents of the German youth team.

The players and coaches of the youth team know how great Glory is.

Even giants like Bayern Munich can't take glory, so what can they do?

It might be better if they didn't understand Glory, but they at least had the courage to fight with Glory.

It is precisely because they know too well the power of the glory every weekend, so they are tied up and a little unconfident.

In the past few days, the head coach of the German youth team, Skibey, has been mainly doing one thing, and that is to boost the confidence of the team.

For this reason, he specifically found the video of Werder Bremen's defeat last season and showed it to the players.

Tell them that the glorious Werder Bremen is not invincible, let alone the Chinese national youth team.

They are just more glorious, and there is still a gap between the level of others and the young people in Germany.

We can't beat Glory, but we can find holes in his teammates.

Even before he went on the pitch, Skibe kept reminding his players: "Boys! Remember! Football is a team sport, a team is made up of eleven people, it doesn't mean that they have a superstar and they will win! In that case, how boring football would be! So, even if the Chinese team is honored, so what? Our opponent is not Rong, but the Chinese youth team! Remember that game two months ago? We beat them! So this time we can beat them too! ”

He was talking about a warm-up match two months ago, when the Chinese youth team, which had just arrived in Germany, played a friendly match with the German youth team after a week of intensive training, and the German team beat China 4-0 in that game.

※※※

On the other side, Crouchen was telling his players: "We lost to them two months ago, 0:4, and we couldn't fight back at all!" But now, we are completely different from two months ago, and you have to have that confidence. So now is the best chance for revenge! If the Germans still look at us with the same old eyes, they will die a miserable death! ”

"Remember, each of you has become stronger, you are strong now, I don't mean that Rong is strong now!"

There was a burst of laughter in the locker room.

Where does glory need to be strengthened? He was already strong.

So get stronger...... It can only be us!

PS, I returned to Chengdu and went to reapply for my ID card this afternoon, and I am now a ...... with identity again

Witness!

Don't be a black account again!

After returning to Chengdu, you can continue to play the game of predicting the score and rewarding with everyone.

Today let's pick a key battle tomorrow morning, Italy vs. Uruguay!

Although Italy must beat Uruguay to secure qualification, ...... My instinct always told me that Uruguay would beat Italy, and that it would be a goal away.

Is it accurate? I'll know tomorrow.

If not, I'll add more, if it's accurate, please give a reward!
