Chapter 196 Quarterfinals

At this point, all the games of each group are over, the first is group A.

The England National Youth Team finished first in the final group, while the host South Korea National Youth Team qualified second in the group.

What is surprising is the Argentine National Youth Team. In fact, there are many good players in the Argentine National Youth Team.

But because they lost all the first two games, they were upset and did not qualify for the group stage.

Next is Group B, with a total of three teams advancing.

The Venezuelan national youth team won all three games and qualified first in the group. The Mexican national youth team, which often comes to China to participate in competitions, successfully advanced to the second place in the group.

And the German national youth team, which is recognized as the strongest, turned out to be third in the group.

Then there is Group C, the Saudi Arabian National Youth Team from Asia, unfortunately the bottom of the group was eliminated.

Zambia's national youth team overwhelmed the European and American teams and advanced to the first place in the group.

The Portuguese national youth team in Europe is second in the group, and the Costa Rica national youth team in third place in the group also successfully advanced to the round of 16.

Immediately afterwards is Group E, the Vietnam National Youth Team, which is also an Asian team, although it performed well in the Asian Youth Championship.

But in front of the strong teams all over the world, the Vietnam National Youth Team was obviously not good enough, and in the end they were eliminated at the bottom of the group.

The French national youth team showed their dominance, winning all three games and qualifying for the first place in the group.

The New Zealand National Youth Team qualified second in the group. It was indeed out of the French National Youth Team. The overall strength of this group is relatively poor.

Finally, Group F, this group is very intense, definitely the most intense of all groups.

The U.S. National Youth Team, which ranks first in the group, is the only team that has won only one victory among all the first-placed teams in the group.

If it weren't for two draws, it would be impossible to win the first place in the group.

The Senegal National Youth Team won the second place in the group, while the Japanese National Youth Team won the third place in the group, and both teams advanced.

This World Youth Championship, a total of three Asian teams advanced to the top 16.

But the Korean National Youth Team was out of luck, and their opponent was the Portuguese National Youth Team.

The Huaxia National Youth Team had played against the Portuguese National Youth Team, so Li Long knew that with the strength of the South Korean National Youth Team, it was basically impossible to defeat the Portuguese National Youth Team.

Even if they are at home, it is difficult to beat their opponents.

And this time, among the top sixteen, the one that attracted the most attention was the match between the French National Youth Team and the Uruguayan National Youth Team.

One is a South American powerhouse, and the other is a European powerhouse.

Before the start of the World Youth Championship, these two teams were considered by many media to be the first echelon teams.

The time came to May 31. Li Long led the China National Youth Team to challenge the Japanese National Youth Team.

The two teams can be regarded as old rivals. From the Four Nations Invitational Tournament to the Asian Youth Championship, the two teams have compared too many times.

Li Long can already guess the starting lineup. Except for Jiu Jianying, Li Long has never played against Li Long, and Li Long has seen all other players.

And Kenhide Kubo is too young. Kenhide Kubo, who was born in 2001, will only be 16 in a few days.

Playing in the World Youth Championship at this age is already very good.

Li Long knows that Kubo Jianying is more likely to be on the bench, and the starting lineup should still be the previous lineup.

After the game started, Li Long looked at the opponent's starting lineup, and it was exactly as Li Long expected.

All of them are old opponents, but the opponent is not completely familiar with the Huaxia National Youth Team.

Because every time the two sides played against each other, the Huaxia National Youth Team's starting lineup was different.

And this time is definitely the strongest one. The head coach of the Japanese National Youth Team also knows that this game will be very difficult.

The game started on time. Although both sides were in 4-4-2 formation, there was still a huge gap.

The midfield gap between the two sides is too big, but fortunately, the Japanese national youth team's defense is not bad.

Blocked several attacks by the Huaxia National Youth Team, but they were facing Cai Jian.

Cai Jian scored 6 goals in three games in the group stage. His super high scoring efficiency made Cai Jian the top scorer list.

In the 25th minute, Cai Jian took the ball to the left of the penalty area and faced Zhongshan Yuta's defense.

After Cai Jian pedaled his bicycle continuously, he cut inside the Empress Dowager Zhongshan and hit the goal with his right foot.

Cai Jian's kick deliberately found an angle, and the football hit the far corner.

Moreover, the football hit the ground and bounced up, which greatly affected the judgment of goalkeeper Kojima Kosuke.

The Huaxia National Youth Team leads the Japanese National Youth Team 1-0!

At the 41st minute, it was Bai Yi's turn this time.

Bai Yi also knew about the rumors about his transfer, and Bai Yi was very active.

Bai Yi unexpectedly came to a rainbow, a player like Bai Yi is not something Fujitani can defend.

Bai Yi easily passed Fujitani Zhuang and rushed into the restricted area, Fujitani Zhuang became so angry that he pulled Bai Yi down.

The Huaxia National Youth Team won a penalty kick, and everyone thought it would be handed over to Cai Jian.

After all, Cai Jian was going to compete for the top scorer list, but Cai Jian conceded a penalty.

Bai Yi accomplished it overnight! The Huaxia National Youth Team leads the Japanese National Youth Team 2-0!

When the time came to the second half of the game, the Japanese National Youth Team had to put all their eggs in one basket.

The two wingers moved forward, and the formation was changed to a 4-2-4 formation.

But in this way, the Japanese national youth team's midfield became even more out of control, and because of the premise of the formation, the defense line began to be empty.

In the 59th minute, Cai Jian was at the top of the arc outside the penalty area, and after receiving the pass, he directly took a long shot.

But the football was thrown by goalkeeper Kojima Kosuke, but he didn't hug it.

Cui Dongzhen slanted to keep up, and succeeded in making up shots with his left foot.

The Huaxia National Youth Team leads the Japanese National Youth Team 3-0!

The occurrence of this goal greatly affected the morale of the Japanese National Youth Team.

In the end, the Huaxia National Youth Team easily defeated the Japanese National Youth Team and successfully advanced to the quarter-finals of the World Youth Championship.

So far, all the top 16 matches are over, and the host South Korean National Youth Team really lost to the Portuguese National Youth Team.

The Huaxia National Youth Team became the only Asian team that advanced to the quarter-finals.

In the focused battle between the Uruguayan National Youth Team and the French National Youth Team, the Uruguayan National Youth Team finally won and successfully eliminated the French National Youth Team.

All qualifying teams have been determined, namely the US National Youth Team, Uruguay National Youth Team, Mexico National Youth Team, Zambia National Youth Team, England National Youth Team, China National Youth Team, Portugal National Youth Team and Venezuela National Youth Team.

And the opponent of the Huaxia National Youth Team is also an old opponent.

He also had a friendly match with him this year, and this team is the Portuguese National Youth Team.

In that game, the Huaxia National Youth Team won 3-2, and lost two goals because of extensive substitutions, which allowed the Portuguese National Youth Team to score.

But even so, Li Long must not relax his vigilance.

The Portuguese National Youth Team is also a traditional strong team, and Portugal has always produced potential players.

Although Li Long has seen many players in the opponent's team, there are also many players that Li Long has never played against.
