Chapter 273 The Menacing German Youth Team
Cairo, the capital of Egypt, the International Stadium.

The Cairo International Stadium, which was completed in 1960, is the home stadium of the famous Egyptian football team Al-Ahly. It has a capacity of 4000 people and is one of the best and most famous stadiums in Egypt. The organizing committee of the World Youth Championship put the final on this venue. Apart from the fact that Cairo is the capital of Egypt, this stadium is indeed worthy of the final.

After the German youth team surpassed the Brazilian youth team, the media in Europe, especially Germany, began to be optimistic again. In the past, Asian teams also made it to the finals of the World Youth Championship.The Japanese team that entered the final was massacred by Spain 1999-81, tying the largest winning score in the history of the World Youth Championship finals. Going back to the World Youth Championship in Australia in [-], the Asian team Qatar also entered the final, but they also lost [-]-[-] in the final. The West Germany team that had not yet merged won them.

Therefore, in the eyes of the German media, it was a very lucky thing to meet a team from Asia in the final. The two most relaxed final victories in the history of the World Youth Championship were both Asian teams.

Ding Yu also thinks that the German youth team is the strongest opponent they have encountered so far, not to mention the three opponents in the group stage. Although the US team has Adu, the growth rate of this young and famous player in recent years is obviously far lower than other people’s expectations. England’s fragile psychology is a point that Ding Yu can take advantage of.

The German defenders have inherited the characteristics of their predecessors - they are tall and big. The two central defenders are both 1.9 meters tall and strong, but the midfielder is another picture. Although Lars Bender of Munich 1860, Tony Kroos of Bayern and Geberhardt of Stuttgart are all 1.8 meters tall, they are more good at technology than body. .

Retaining the traditional height, strength, and discipline, but adding talent, technology, and creativity to this foundation, it is no wonder that such a team can accomplish a feat that no one has ever accomplished before, winning three European championships in more than one year...

Although Ozil, one of the three demons, was not selected because of his age, the other two demons Marin and Kroos have come, plus a Bundesliga winter transfer target king Gebhardt last season, the strength of the German youth team can be said to have not declined at all.

It is precisely because the German youth team has no major problems, so Ding Yu does not intend to use some small tricks to win. Facing such an opponent, he can only win against them legitimately in the game, and only after the final whistle.

However, the Chinese youth team is not without their advantages - at least they have no pressure at all. With this mentality, they can often play at a higher level.

What's more, Ding Yu doesn't think that the Chinese youth team is inferior to the German youth team. Although Ding Yu's tactics were successful in the previous victories, if they don't have outstanding strength, no one can implement the best tactics.

At the same time, there is a person in the Chinese youth team who is very familiar with German football - Li Jie has been in Germany for four full years, playing with Hoffenheim from the Bundesliga to the Bundesliga. He has met almost all of these opponents of the same age in Germany.

Therefore, Ding Yu is quite familiar with the main force of the German youth team.

************************************************
The International Stadium, which can accommodate [-] fans, poured into nearly [-] fans—this is already a considerable number—after Italy, Brazil, England and other teams with high appeal were eliminated, the Egyptian side began to worry about whether the attendance rate in the final would not be high. Fortunately, a large part of the European fans who remained in Egypt stayed to cheer for the German youth team. Cheer for the youth team!

When the game started, the statistics given by the event organizers were that there were more than 2 Chinese fans at the scene!
This number exceeded one-third of the fans at the scene, and it also made the Cairo International Stadium the home of the China Youth Team!
When the players of the Chinese youth team walked into the stadium, the players in Europe were a little surprised. They had never played an official game in a stadium with so many stands flying the Chinese flag...

On the contrary, domestic players are more used to it. Huang Zhenghong smiled and said to Chen Jian: "I have a feeling that I am playing in the Chinese Super League." Gao Zhifa next to him nodded heavily. This feeling is so familiar...

"There are shadows of Chinese people all over the world."

Seeing the Chinese fans in the stands waving the Chinese national flag and singing the Chinese national anthem to cheer for the Chinese youth team, the head coach of the German youth team Hester Hrubesch muttered.

The former famous German striker felt the fanaticism of Chinese fans in the 06 World Cup in Germany. Every time the Chinese national team participated in the game, the Chinese fans would try their best to get a lot of tickets from various channels, and then decorate the stands in a dazzling red. Under this encouragement, the Chinese team reached the quarterfinals all the way, and they played inextricably with Italy, which won the championship. Fans make a big difference to their teams...

"It doesn't work for us Germans." Hrubesch thought to himself while shaking hands with Ding Yu. Germans are famous for their nerves.

Ding Yu observed the former header star of the German national team. If "late bloomer" and "header superstar" were used to describe a player, 90.00% of Chinese fans would probably think of Bierhoff.

Hrubesch's forehead is said to be as big as 170 square centimeters, and he played for the German national team for the first time in the final of the European Championship in 1980. He scored a goal at the age of 29 and helped the German team beat Belgium to win the European Championship. Does it look familiar?This is almost a replica of Bierhoff in the 1996 European Championship final, except that Hrubesch was older than Bierhoff at the time!
Looking at Helu Beishi's broad forehead, Ding Yu could only sigh in his heart, he really deserved his reputation...

"I believe this will be a wonderful final." Ding Yu suddenly said to Hrubesch in German.

Hrubesch was taken aback, Ding Yu's German was very standard, which surprised him - does it mean that a Chinese coach can use such a familiar German, does it mean that he is very familiar with Germany?

Thinking of Li Jie who played in the Bundesliga in the China Youth Team, Hrubesch began to feel a little worried. Will an opponent who is so familiar with him, like the previous two Asian teams that entered the finals of the World Youth Championship, be defeated by the European teams without temper?
History is history, records are records, but reality is reality...

************************************************** **
Gebhardt took the ball in the midfield. The midfield star trained by Munich 1860 moved to Stuttgart in the middle of last season for 320 million euros. Since being relegated to the Bundesliga, the Lions have never returned to the Bundesliga. Although they have cultivated many outstanding young players, when the temptation of the top league teams arrived, these young players began to think about it one by one...

Gebhardt was just the first to leave. His teammate in the German youth team, midfielder Lars Bender also accepted the contract offered by Arsenal. He will transfer to Arsenal in 2010 and become a member of Professor Wenger's command.

Being able to become the Bundesliga's winter transfer bid king has already demonstrated Gebhardt's strength. Bundesliga teams have always been very pragmatic in their signings.

In fact, in the German youth team, he squeezed Toni Kroos into the position of left midfielder, and he was the core of the midfield, not Toni Kroos.

Seeing Hu Gandang rushing towards him, Gebhardt turned around to protect the ball, first made a pass to Kroos on the left, which caused Jiang Qi, another midfielder of the China Youth Team, to move to the right, and then suddenly gave the ball to Marco Marin on the right!

One-on-one between Marin and Huang Zhenghong on the wing!

"Damn it, I hate this kind of little guy the most!" Huang Zhenghong thought to himself while rushing towards Marin who was dribbling forward with the ball.

In the match against the England youth team, Huang Zhenghong was repeatedly broken by Walcott, who was only 1.7 meters tall but very fast. This time, he faced another opponent who was 1.7 meters tall and extremely fast...

Seeing that the strong Huang Zhenghong had already pushed Marin to the side, Marin used a heel through the crotch to pass the ball between Huang Zhenghong's legs, and then walked around Huang Zhenghong's body shortly!
After getting rid of Huang Zhenghong, Marin passed the ball into the penalty area. The 1.8-meter-four Leverkusen forward Pasu overpowered Li Jie and shook his head to attack the goal. Fortunately, he was caught by the concentrated Wu Bufan.

"At the beginning of the game, the German youth team had a threatening shot, and they were aggressive!" the Chinese commentator exclaimed.
