World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 314 Crazy Argentine Fans
"Hidden strength, the Chinese team is really extraordinary! "

"The battle of ancient civilizations, the Chinese team defeated the Egyptian team 4-0"

"Killing the Quartet, the Chinese team has been hiding their strength"

When the results of the first day of the quarter-finals were freshly released, the news that the Chinese team 4-0 the Egyptian team spread like wildfire.

Is the Egyptian team so weak?
Was kicked 4-0 by the Chinese team?

When the news came, many people were surprised, but they looked like "it should be".

"It seems that the Chinese team is indeed hiding their strength."

"Let me just say it! As the champion of the last World Youth Championship, why didn't the Chinese team show any 'false'?"

"Argentina can play Egypt 7-1, why can't China play Egypt 4-0?"

"It's only 4, I think the Chinese team also stopped!"

Fans from all over the world are talking about it.

But judging from their remarks, it is obvious that the traditional impression of the Chinese team has already been changed.

In their view, the undefeated record in the group stage has already explained everything.

Some fans even said that the Chinese team is "controlling points"!
After the victory over Egypt, all the Asian media cheered in unison: "China Youth Team is the hope of Asian football!"

Iran's famous "Tehran Daily" made a prediction after the China Youth Team defeated the US team, saying that the China Youth Team is the most promising team among Asian teams in this World Youth Championship, and it is not a problem to reach the top four.

When the Iraqi "Babylon" wrote an article to comment on the performance of the Asian teams in this World Youth Championship, it also believed that the Chinese youth team performed the best.

"This is a team with distinctive characteristics. They not only have outstanding stars, but also have a terrifying overall ability. Especially their fast offense is a weapon that makes any team fear.

United Arab Emirates' "United Daily News" published an article titled "East Asian Football Takes the Lead in Asia", saying: "Among the four Asian teams participating in this World Youth Championship, only the Chinese Youth Team's performance is worthy of Asian football's pride."

"Their outstanding performance once again proves that East Asian football has begun to take the lead in Asian football."

After seeing these news headlines, Zhang Jilong and others who are hosting Verapan in the capital are not complacent.

Behind the hype of the West Asian media for the China Youth Team is its more united top ten alliance.

According to Qatar's "Motherland" recently's outlook on the top ten matches, it analyzed in detail the situation of the group qualifying and the possibility of the West Asian teams forming an alliance.

The top ten competition is about to start, and Group A is a veritable "group of death".

The Iranian team is the winner of the Asian Cup three times, and because of the last World Cup, it has "enmity" with the Chinese team.

In this top ten match, the Iranian team will never let the Chinese team easily win the first place in the group.

Although everyone in Bahrain and Thailand is not optimistic about them, these two teams are notoriously tough, and their performance will directly determine the qualifying team in this group.

As for Qatar, despite a poor season before the war, they were assigned to the fourth pot.

But it also has the power to fight.

Most importantly, there is an unwritten "rule" among the teams in West Asia.

That is, once a West Asian team has no hope of qualifying, other West Asian teams in the same group will definitely be properly "taken care of".

So once the Chinese team beat other teams too hard in the first round of the Top Ten, they might get "joint revenge" from their opponents in the second round.

In particular, the increasing international reputation of the Chinese team recently has made other opponents in the group tremble.

It is reported that the West Asian football world is teaming up to force Gong Yazhulian to reorganize the leadership team, from the bamboo mat, the deputy bamboo mat to the sweet potato chief, all must be re-elected.

Its purpose is to let Chinese football reshuffle the Waijiao brand.

Verapan also came to the capital for a visit only when he temporarily got rid of the West Asia teamed up to "force the palace" by using his superb skills.

Based on the current situation, there was also a discussion within Zhuxie.

In the end, Zhang Jilong came out on top and proposed a very important key to breaking the game.

"Mr. Verapan, since countries in West Asia have requested to reshuffle the cards."

"Then have you asked Prince Sultan of Saudi Arabia for his opinion?"

Verapan's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Saudi Arabia is the best beneficiary of the draw for the top ten.

If the leadership team of Yazhulian is really reorganized, the loss of Saudi Arabia will definitely be greater than that of the Chinese team!
With the spear of the child, attack the shield of the child!
Zhang Jilong laughed, "The countries in West Asia are not monolithic!"

After two days of competition, the quarterfinals of the World Youth Championship have been released: Argentina beat the United States 2-1, and France eliminated the German chariot 3-2.

Like the Egyptian team, Australia was kicked 4-0 by Brazil, and Ukraine lost 1-2 to Paraguay.

The Chinese youth team beat Egypt 4-0, and Costa Rica lost 1-2 to the Czech Republic.

The Netherlands beat Angola 2-0 and Ghana beat Ecuador 1-0.

Among these games, the most entertaining one is the Franco-German battle.

Two European powerhouses contributed 90 goals in 5 minutes.

In the end, the Gallic rooster won by a small margin and defeated the German chariot.

Forward Djibril Cisse rose to fame and became a rising star in this World Youth Championship.

At the same time, the quarter-final groupings have also been released one after another.

Youth team VS Netherlands, Ghana VS Brazil, Argentina VS France, Czech VS Paraguay.

For the Chinese youth team, it is not a misfortune to encounter the Netherlands in the quarter-finals.

Although the Dutch team is a strong European team, the head coach is the master tactician Van Gaal.

Therefore, many fans were optimistic about the Dutchman winning the championship before the game.

But the problem is that after the Dutch team came to Argentina across more than half of the world, many players were not acclimatized.

The Dutch team, which was in a sluggish state, lost to Costa Rica in the first game of the group stage.

In the end, the Dutch team, which barely qualified for the third place in the group, also performed mediocrely in one-eighth of the knockout rounds.

If it weren't for the "black whirlwind" Angola's poor ability to seize opportunities, perhaps the quarter-final opponents of the China Youth Team would not be the Netherlands.

And what reassured Chen Jingang the most was Sun Xiang's words.

"The Dutch team?"

"Uh, let me think about it."

"No one seems to stand out recently!"

Sun Xiang, who plays for Eindhoven, the highest league in the Eredivisie, is still very encouraging.

Although Sun Xiang has not yet played as a main player in PSV, this does not affect his teammates and coaches to regard his words as "authority".

Sun Xiang's answer made the Chinese youth team very excited, completely achieving the effect of despising the opponent strategically.

At the end of June, the quarter-finals of the World Youth Championship, the Chinese youth team VS the Netherlands.

Zeng Zheng, who took his girlfriend shopping in the last game, did not participate in this game.

The reason is also very simple.

Compared with the World Youth Championship, Zeng Zheng felt that the final of the Copa Libertadores held today was more attractive to him.

Early this morning, the outside of the Candy Box Stadium was captured by fans from both teams participating in the final.

If the fans at the World Youth Championship are all parents who come to see their children's performance, then the final of the Copa Libertadores is the best way to see the true colors of Argentine fans.

"Come on, put this jersey on!"

Ms. Qian was caught off guard and was put on a Boca Juniors jersey by Zeng Zheng.

"Hold this in your hand."

After putting on the jersey for his girlfriend, Zeng Zheng handed over a small flag bearing the Boca team logo to his girlfriend.

"Remember, even if you let go of my hand, don't throw this flag away, understand?"

Miss Qian nodded solemnly, then followed Zeng Zheng to the gate of the stadium.

It was packed with Boca fans.

They painted Boca's team logo on their faces, held up banners and slogans, and looked at all the passing fans in front of them.

If it is Boca and neutral fans, it is good. If it is a Blue Cross fan, they will step forward and place the opponent in a group position, booing bursts of frustration.

After seeing the jerseys on Zeng Zheng and Ms. Qian, this group of crazy fans immediately put on a pair of smiling faces and chose to "let go".

"There are so few fans in the World Youth Championship, I thought Argentine fans didn't like football! I didn't expect them all to come here!"

Ms. Qian grabbed Zeng Zheng's arm tightly and held up the small flag with the Boca Juniors team emblem.

"Tsk tsk, what is the World Youth Championship?" Zeng Zheng snorted, "No matter how grand the World Youth Championship is, in the eyes of the fans, it is just a trick for children."

"But the Copa Libertadores is different, let alone Boca Juniors in the final!"

"By the way, dear, who is this 'liberator'?"

Zeng Zheng slammed his mouth, and recalled it with his head.

"There are two people who became 'liberators' in the South American Cup. One is Bolivar, and the other is General San Martin, a talented military strategist who emerged during the Argentine War of Independence."

"In Argentina, it is said that every city in the country will have a San Martin Square or park, similar to our Zhongshan Park."

"When we played in Mendoza, the stadium was in the Parc San Martin."

Miss Qian nodded after listening.

Looking at Zeng Zheng's eyes, there was another trace of admiration.

In the mall, she is the vigorous and uncompromising female boss;

But as soon as he came to Zeng Zheng's side, he became a gentle and graceful Xiaojiabiyu.

"Honey, who do you think will win today?"

"It must be Boca!"

Zeng Zheng ignored his girlfriend's pun.

"Remember, as long as you want to get out of this stadium safely, no matter what language you use, you must answer 'Boca', understand?"

Seeing Zeng Zheng's extremely serious expression, Miss Qian nodded repeatedly.

In this way, Zeng Zheng took his girlfriend and "wandered" in the crowd for more than two hours before finding his place in the stadium.

The Candy Box Stadium can only accommodate 6 fans, but according to statistics after the game, more than [-] people crowded into the stadium for this game.

Boca Juniors beat the opponent 1-0 due to the last game at the home of the Mexican Blue Cross.

Back at home today, the fans thought that it would be a matter of course to reach the top and win the cup at home.

Before the match, Boca fans welcomed the two sides with deafening cheers and whistles.

Colored tapes, firecrackers, and smoke bombs were thrown from the stands, and the blue and yellow smoke representing Boca Juniors enveloped the entire stadium, and the visibility inside the stadium was extremely low.

When the surrounding fans had to put on masks, Zeng Zheng took out two prepared gas masks from his backpack and carefully put them on for his girlfriend.

The most important thing is that the surrounding fans are not surprised when they see this situation.

Rich people, of course, deserve better equipment!

Six minutes into the game, a group of fans who hadn't bought tickets tried to hit the gate outside the stadium.

The riot police had to throw several tear gas canisters to disperse the crowd.

Coincidentally, several tear gas bombs fell into the stadium.

Players and nearby fans couldn't help rubbing their eyes and coughing, and the game was interrupted.

In the cloud of smoke, Zeng Zheng made a "V" gesture.

Miss Qian wore a gas mask that gave her a sense of security, and only then did she realize that Zeng Zheng was not making a big deal out of a molehill.

The game was interrupted for five and six minutes.

The referee blew his whistle until the tear gas and debris on the field were cleaned up, and the game continued.

But there are waves of Boca fans who like to make trouble.

These crazy fans were not happy that the warm atmosphere that had just been brewing was dealt with coldly by the referee, and then in the stands next to Zeng Zheng, more than 500 fans rushed down from the stands and launched a "charge" towards the field.

Looking at the safety rope that Zeng Zheng took out from his backpack, Ms. Qian tied one end tightly to her arm
The order at the scene was chaotic in an instant.

The howls of the crazy fans and the angry shouts of the security guards intertwined together.

Under the chain reaction, Zeng Zheng's neutral stand was also affected.

"My dear, don't be afraid, you will watch a 3D war movie up close."

"I really don't understand why these fans are like this!"

"Because they love each other so much!"

"Too much love can't be so extreme, right?"

"Who knows!" Zeng Zheng spread his hands, "People who love to the extreme usually do some outrageous things."

"Then do you love me?" Miss Qian asked immediately.

"Of course!"

"Then will you do something out of the ordinary for me?"

"I brought you to such a dangerous place, do you think it's okay?"

Miss Qian tilted her head and thought for a while.

Looking at the extreme fans under the stands who kept attacking the anti-riot police line, he finally nodded.

"Well, it's out of the ordinary."

"That's it!"

Zeng Zheng laughed and put his arms around his girlfriend's shoulders.

"Actually, there's no need to panic."

"This kind of thing is too common in Argentina. It happens more than a dozen times a year. The fans have long been used to it."

"We just need to protect ourselves and those around us."

"As long as you don't participate in the riots, you'll be fine!"

After hearing this, Miss Qian nodded in relief.

The Buenos Aires police acted quickly, sending nearly [-] riot police officers to continue throwing tear gas at the rioting fans who tried to rush into the stadium.

This is good, the arena is even more chaotic.

The smoke from the fireworks and the thick gas caused the fans in the stands to shed tears and suffered terribly.

In this chaos, the fans in the stands have their own styles.

It is normal for people like Zeng Zheng and Miss Qian to wear gas masks.

Some fans stood up and tangoed in the aisle;

There are also some lovers and fans hugging each other, using each other's saliva to resist the thick smoke in the sky.

"Dear, look over there!"

Ms. Qian followed Zeng Zheng's fingers, and through the looming smoke, she saw a short middle-aged man covering his daughter's nose.

Beside him, there are four bodyguards.

"That is."

"That's Maradona!"

"Ball King Maradona?!"

"That's right, it's him!"

Zeng Zheng laughed, and pointed to the gas mask on his face, "Look, even the world champion is not as prepared as we are!"

After the game resumed, the Blue Cross players not only had to bear the pressure of their opponents, but also the heavy pressure brought by more than 6 fans.

The pace was fast in the first half, but both sides seemed a little nervous.

The total score lead Boca Juniors played more conservatively, and the Blue Cross quickly took control of the initiative.

Boca goalkeeper Córdoba was forced to make two fine saves after defender Gutierrez hit the post with a low shot from outside the box.

For Boca Juniors, the most threatening attack comes from Riquelme.

In the 12th minute, Riquelme passed three opposing defenders one after another.

But instead of taking a shot, he tried to pass the ball to striker Delgado near the penalty spot.

It's a pity that the last pass was intercepted by goalkeeper Perez.

The efforts of the Blue Cross finally paid off before the end of the first half.

In the 48th minute, the Blue Cross team took a corner kick. Forward Cardoso received a corner kick at the near post and his shot was saved. His partner Palencia followed up and hit the shot.

Although the Blue Cross team that equalized the score was under more pressure from the fans, they still planned to make persistent efforts and wanted to completely overwhelm the opponent with one more away goal.

However, Boca, who was behind by one goal, also recovered a little bit, fighting desperately with the opponent for control of the midfield, and launched an active counterattack.

Shortly after the start of the second half, the Boca team almost equalized again.

Riquelme took a free kick, and forward Delgado's header went wide of the post.

In the 52nd minute, Riquelme sent a tricky pass, but the young striker Gimenez, who came off the bench, missed the ball.

In the 82nd minute, Boca Juniors scored three goals in a row, but it was a pity that the goalkeeper of the Blue Cross team, Pirez, made a left and right move, and finally took the ball in his arms.

Since then, the two sides have attacked and defended each other, but due to the decline in physical strength, they have never broken the opponent's goal again.

1比0的结果一直保持到90分钟的比赛终场，两队总比分也变成了1比1平。

According to the new rules of the South American Football Federation, after two home and away games, the two teams with a total score of a tie will no longer play overtime, but will directly decide the winner with penalty kicks.

However, in the ensuing brutal penalty shootout, the Mexican, who performed well throughout the game, may have been disturbed by the explosion of fireworks in the stands, and his tradition of not being good at penalty kicks has been "carried forward".

After making all free throws in the first round, the Blue Cross missed all three free throws after the festival.

In the end, I could only watch Boca Juniors win the championship trophy at home.

Fans will storm the arena to celebrate after the championship final victory.

However, due to the tight security of the police, the traditional program could not be staged.

The Boca Juniors were thus able to circle the field and share the joy of winning the championship with the fans in the stands.

"Boca Juniors defended their title successfully!"

Miss Qian sighed with emotion, "Honey, do you think the China Youth Team can defend their title this time?"

This victory not only allowed Boca to win the first honor of the season, but also hoped that Bayern, the king of the South, who had just won the Champions League this fall and last month, would earn the Toyota Cup championship that remained in his hands for a year trophy.

At this moment, Zeng Zheng's cell phone rang.

In a foreign country, not many people know Zeng Zheng's cell phone number and call at this time.

Li Hui is one of them.

As soon as the phone was connected, Li Hui's excited shouts sounded over there.

"Coach Zeng, we won, we won!"

Hearing this, Zeng Zheng also became interested.

"Win the Netherlands?"

"Well! We won by penalty kick, 5 to 3!"

Hearing that the two sides had reached a penalty shootout, Zeng Zheng was also deeply moved.

This Dutch team is still very fierce.

Like Huntelaar, Colin, Heitinga, Robben, these are the pillars of the Dutch national team.

But it was such an Oranje team that eventually fell in the penalty shootout.

"Win the penalty shootout?"

After hearing the result over there, Miss Qian was also surprised.

After all, she had just watched a wonderful and exciting penalty shootout.

"We even borrowed from Boca Juniors!"

Ms. Qian lowered her head and kissed Boca's team uniform. It seemed that this uniform brought good luck to the Chinese youth team.

"I heard that when Xu Liang took the penalty, there was a fan in the stands who couldn't take it anymore and passed out!"

Zeng Zheng laughed, and told the anecdote that Li Hui had just described to him on the phone.

The penalty kick was Zeng Zheng's "secret trick" when he first took office.

The teams trained by Zeng Zheng are not afraid of penalties.

In games like the Blue Cross, the majesty and numbness of the hands and claws during penalty kicks will never appear on the China Youth Team.

Perhaps Chen Jingang took advantage of this to defeat the Dutch team led by Van Gaal.

The next day, the Argentine ole newspaper not only published the results of the two games, but also brought a shocking news.

When Boca Juniors and Blue Cross were kicking penalties, an old Argentine fan in his 60s in the stands suffered a heart attack because of being too nervous.

When he was sent to the hospital, he had already died with his love for football and Boca.

After seeing the news, Zeng Zheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Our fans, no Argentine fans are crazy!"
