Chapter 265 A Dark Day

The capacity of the Suez Canal Stadium is 5000 people, and the attendance rate in this game is close to [-], including about [-] Chinese fans, about [-] England fans, and nearly [-] local fans.

Since the start of the game, the stadium has never been quiet. When the Chinese youth team dominated, the cheers of the Chinese fans resounded through the sky. When England dominated, the shouts of the England fans were deafening. When the two sides played a wonderful attack, the neutral fans applauded everywhere. But when Zhang Yi pushed Dai Guangming's direct pass into the goal guarded by Bhutto, the audience suddenly fell silent!
The England fans couldn't believe that their team was behind. The Chinese fans couldn't believe that the scene they had been longing for had suddenly appeared. The neutral fans didn't expect that the Chinese youth team could beat the mighty England team!

"The China Youth team took the lead again with a successful counterattack! Now is the No.806 minute of the whole game, maybe this goal will be a lore!" The commentator dared not say anything, but if he could see the expressions of the English players on the field, he could probably be sure that this was a lore goal. Breaking through, he attracted the defense of two defenders, and then cleverly distributed the ball to Dai Guangming who was running behind him. Dai Guangming's through ball was very beautiful, and Zhang Yi's insertion on the right was also very timely, a beautiful straight pass diagonally! The next thing is very simple, Zhang Yi pushed the far corner to the attacking Bhutto, a classic quick counterattack!"

Pierce sighed inwardly as he looked at the youth team players who were celebrating like madmen, and the England players who were scattered on the field in a daze.

The media information in the Premier League is very developed, and due to the historical status of the United Kingdom, they have a mentality of "I am the best in the world" whether in football or other aspects. Even during the period when the Premier League was at its worst, the English media would always add nicknames such as "genius" and "new star" to English players. After listening to too much flattery, it is often more difficult to withstand the blow after setbacks. The fragility of the English national team at all levels has a lot of "credit" from the English media.

The defenders still had a chance to rush back to the goal just now, but when they saw that Zhang Yi had thrown them away by a certain distance, they all stopped in despondency—even if chasing desperately was just a futile effort, at least it could prove that they still had fighting spirit and did not admit defeat—but Pierce did not see this.

Pierce knew it would be difficult to recover the score, but he still wanted to give it a go.

David Levine and James Tomkins were replaced with an attacking midfielder and a striker. Pierce planned to give it a go. Ding Yu responded immediately. The tall central defender Niu Ren was sent on the field, and the surroundings who had lost a lot of physical strength were replaced.

In the remaining few minutes, almost all members of the Chinese youth team returned to the defense to resist the indiscriminate bombing of the England team. Even Long Bisheng returned to the penalty area to help defend. They only left Dai Guangming to harass in the frontcourt.
Delphi tried hard to dribble the ball from the side to break through Gao Zhifa's defense, but just as he evaded Gao Zhifa, Long Bisheng, who rushed out from the penalty area, used a fierce tackle to tackle the ball out of the sideline, and then Long Bisheng pulled Delphi up from the ground: "Fabian, I'm sorry, but we are opponents now."

"Damn it! Long, I'll make you look good when I go back to Leeds!" Delphi said angrily.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a whistle sound in the stadium.

Two short whistles and one long whistle signaled the end of the game.

"You...you bastard!" The whistle sounded in his ears, and Delphi's body went limp for a while, and he sat on the ground weakly - no one wants to lose, even if it is to lose to their own friends, not to mention, this is a game representing a country!

"I will express my apologies when I return to Leeds." Long Bisheng hugged Delphi: "I'm sorry, Fabian."

Delphi looked at Long Bisheng with blurred eyes, and then lowered his head deeply.

Long Bisheng looked at Delphi apologetically. He knew that his friend must be in a very bad mood now, but if he had to choose whether to make his friend feel bad or to make himself feel bad, he would still make poor Delphi feel bad—because his bad mood at this time would definitely mean that Dai Guangming and the others would also be in a very, very bad mood.

Ding Yu had already started to celebrate with the players on the field. He was more excited than the players to win against the England youth team. He rushed into the field after a symbolic handshake with Pierce—the opponent he lost to two years ago finally recovered the field today——Ding Yu is not a person who must take revenge, but any coach will always be very excited when he defeats an opponent who has defeated him.

Chi Shangbing and Xu Genbao stood side by side, the two rivals who used to be in A-A are now as happy as two big children, the top four!The Chinese youth team made history!They also became the first non-European team to enter the semi-finals of this World Youth Championship!

Before the game, everyone believed that only the Brazilian youth team could pose a threat to the dominance of European teams, but the Chinese youth team proved with their outstanding performance that apart from African teams, Asian teams can also be different from European and South American teams!

"Go, come with me to thank the fans at the scene!"

After the celebration was almost over, Ding Yu suppressed his excitement, called all the players over, and said to them.

The disappointed England fans in the stands have almost left, while the Chinese fans are still celebrating excitedly in the stands, especially those fans who came from afar. They traveled thousands of miles from China to Africa, just to see the victory of the China Youth Team with their own eyes.If it is only from the perspective of appreciating the game, watching live TV is much more clear than watching the game at the scene.

The players of the Chinese youth team who ran under the stands applauded to the stands, and the cheers in the stands became more enthusiastic. Driven by Dai Guangming, the players took off their shirts and threw them to the stands, and then created a dozen lucky ones——all the fans who grabbed the jerseys hugged the jerseys tightly in their arms, and their faces were blooming with smiles.

**************************************
The victory of the Chinese youth team at the Suez Canal Stadium did not cause too many waves for the time being, because three hours later, at the Mubarak International Stadium in Giza, there will be a contest between the European Spanish youth team and the South American champion Brazilian youth team.

Barcelona's Bojan VSAC Milan's Pato!
In the past few years, Barcelona's performance has been significantly better than that of AC Milan, but perhaps it is for this reason that Bojan did not get too many opportunities to play in Barcelona. After all, in the forward and attacking midfield positions he is good at, his competitors are superstars such as Eto'o, Henry, Iniesta and Ronaldinho. Even Dos Santos, who is older than him, can only go away to England in order to play the main force.

Compared with the World Junior Championships in 07, Bo Yang's progress in the past two years is not so fast. Two years ago, he stood out among players of the same age group. Even players who were one year older than him were not as good as him. Now, his advantage is not so obvious.

Pato’s situation is different. It’s no secret that AC Milan lacks forwards. Compared with their city rivals Inter Milan’s forwards who hoarded seven or eight forwards, AC Milan’s available forwards are pitifully small. Gilardino’s performance in AC Milan is getting worse. Shevchenko has also changed from a “nuclear warhead” to nuclear waste after returning from Chelsea. In one season, due to various reasons, he played very little time and scored only one goal. In this case, Pato became the most reliable member of AC Milan's striker. He scored 24 league goals in one and a half seasons. Pato has shown the potential of a super striker.

The ace battle between the two teams decided the outcome of the game.

Pato scored a goal in the first and second half to help the Brazilian youth team lead by two goals. It was difficult for the Spanish defenders to defend the breakthrough of him and his brother full-backs Fabio da Silva and Rafael da Silva from Manchester United. Although Bojan assisted Aquino to get one point back in the second half, the Brazilian youth team still could not prevent the Brazilian youth team from advancing to the semi-finals.

Compared with the previous day when two European teams swept their opponents and entered the semi-finals, this day was a gloomy day for European teams. Although Spain’s elimination by Brazil made the European media unhappy, it was not so unacceptable. After all, everyone knew that the most prolific young talents in Brazil were young talents. Although Spain has been in the limelight in the past two years, it cannot be compared with Brazil, the world-recognized football kingdom.

And England's loss to the China Youth Team surprised them-in their guess, the worst result would be three European teams besieging Brazil, but now, in the semi-finals, two European teams will play against the China Youth Team and the Brazilian Youth Team!
