World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 386

The two-and-a-half-week training ended quickly, but many coaches of the training class did not leave. Instead, they stayed in the football school to watch the Kite City Cup match.

On the second day after the completion of the AFC Elite Training Course, the Kite City Cup officially kicked off.

The Kite City Cup is grouped as follows:
Group A: DB, Wolfsburg Youth Team, Chivas Regal Mexico Youth Team, Suwon Samsung Blue Wings Youth Team, Espanyol Youth Team, Sporting Portugal Youth Team

Group B: China National Youth Training Team, Taishan Youth Team, France Nice Youth Team, Osaka Cherry Blossom Youth Team, British Wolves Youth Team, Spain Villarreal Youth Team.

As soon as the group came out, everyone was disappointed. DB and the national youth training team were divided into different groups. It is estimated that it will be difficult to meet each other in this competition.

However, Osaka Sakura failed to be in the same group as DB, and many insiders who knew the inside story shouted that God is not good.

In the opening game, DB will play against the German Wolfsburg youth team.

Unlike other teams, which are youth teams that have never been baptized in professional leagues, although DB is also a youth training team with an average age of less than 20 years old, they participated in the Sao Paulo State Championship and won the championship in one fell swoop!
DB is the defending champion of this year's Yuandu Cup. Many Brazilian players in the team were the main players of the last Yuandu Cup. Now with the addition of a group of wolf-like Chinese teenagers, and Gaoyuan's training, their strength has improved by leaps and bounds. It is not the same as last year.

This game has attracted the attention of the outside world. Everyone wants to see what kind of existence a team that can beat Flamengo 9:1 will exist in the youth league.

The football school stadium temporarily built low and simple stands, which were packed to the brim, and the places around the stadium without stands were also crowded with spectators, which looked like they were watching a superstar concert.

And PP Sports, which broadcast the game, was even more popular for real-time online viewing, breaking the record for the number of online viewers who broadcast the Yuandu Cup over the years.

Wolfsburg is a veteran team in the Bundesliga, and their youth academy is also the best youth training base in the Bundesliga.

Last season, their U17, U19 and U23 all won the regional league championships. In order to train young players, they even acquired Krafgen of the Austrian Bundesliga as a satellite club, specializing in training young goblins.

Regarding being able to play against DB, their youth training director Schmatek said before the game: "We are not afraid of DB, but we will be extremely careful in the game and will do our best to win against DB!"

But after 80 minutes (the Toto Cup game is 80 minutes), Schmatek and his team only scored a 0:4 score.

At least one thing they did was that they were extremely careful and relied on their tenacious defense to withstand the bombardment of the DB team and not be scored a too embarrassing score.

In an interview after the game, Schmatke said with lingering fears: "I am proud of my boys. Only losing 4 goals is an acceptable result! After all, the opponent has won 9 goals against the Flamengo first team!"

For DB to win only 4 goals, the outside world has mixed opinions.

That score, combined with the overwhelming flow of the game, satisfied most fans who watched the game.

But there are also some keyboard warriors who believe that the level of football in Europe is much higher than that in South America. DB can beat the Copa Libertadores champion, but it cannot bloodbath a Bundesliga youth army.It can be seen that it is not necessarily how strong DB is, but the decline of South American football!
But soon, in the second game, DB beat the Spaniard 80:7 in 1 minutes.

Let the guy who holds this kind of argument shut up obediently.

But DB was not the team with the most wins on Matchday [-].

Osaka Sakura, led by Hideki Yoshikawa, defeated Shen Fu's National Youth Training Team 8:0.

The horrible scoring efficiency of an average of one goal in 10 minutes is staggering.

The outside world was in an uproar. DB, originally named as the national youth selection team, gave Chinese fans great hope, but Shen Fu's team extinguished everyone's illusions with a bucket of cold water.

It was only then that everyone discovered that Chinese football is still the same idiot that cannot be supported, without any change!

Gao Yuan watched the video of the game, and almost cried because of Shen Fu's stupidity.

Shen Fu, who has always been cautious, did not know what was going on in this game. He actually played against Osaka Sakura. He was soon beaten by the delicate and smooth cooperation of the Japanese.

It is estimated that the previous class stimulated Shen Fu too much, he was eager to prove himself, coupled with the misjudgment of the opponent's strength, that led to such a result.

Gao Yuan blamed himself a little, not for blaming himself for provoking Shen Fu, but for hating his own people for being soft-spoken and unable to drive Shen Fu away earlier, which caused the National Youth Team to suffer a miserable defeat and gave the Japanese a chance to be arrogant.

In the third round, DB made persistent efforts and defeated Chivas Regal Mexico 3:0.

And Osaka Sakura also beat the Taishan Youth Army 4:0.

It's not that Taishan Youth Army is better than Shen Fu's National Youth Training Team.Instead, the Taishan team learned a lesson, adopted correct tactics, and resolutely launched a defensive counterattack.

But even so, the Japanese scored 4 goals.The strength of the opponent can be seen.

In the fourth round, DB defeated Sporting Portugal youth team 4:1; while Sakura Osaka defeated Premier League youth team Wolves 2:1.

In the last round, DB went on a killing spree again, sweeping South Korea's Suwon Samsung Bluewings 7:0; Osaka Sakura drew Villarreal 1:1.

After five rounds, DB won all five games, scored 25 goals and conceded 2 goals, and won the first place in the group.

In another group, Osaka Sakura won the group No.3 with 2 wins and 17 draws, scoring 4 goals and conceding 2 goals.

However, the national youth training team led by Shen Fu was a talented move-all books (loses), lost all five games, scored 3 goals and conceded 21 goals, ranking first in the bottom of the group.

Even the Taishan Youth Army defeated them 2:1!
Of course, Shen Fu, who had already lost the circle, didn't know that in the contest with the Taishan youth army, his arch-rival Gao Yuan used a little trick through the system.

Gao Yuan thought it was a pity to waste reputation points on Shen Fu, as if flowers were planted on cow dung.However, if he can be removed from the position of coach of the national youth team as soon as possible, and let talented people live in it, the prestige value will not be in vain!
Shen Fu also lived up to expectations. In the qualifying match after the group stage, he had already dropped his underwear, and once again lost to the penultimate team in Group A, South Korea's Suwon Samsung Bluewings, with a score of 1:3.

Shen Fu's National Youth Team ranks first among the 12 participating teams!

No matter how thick-skinned this often-defeated general was, he couldn't handle the frenzied criticism from the outside media.Immediately after the game, he submitted his resignation to the Football Association on the grounds of poor health.

The dawn of the Chinese National Youth Team!
With the hope of future success in exchange for a tragic loss in one cup match, Gao Yuan felt that the lesson was well worth it!
The competition system of the qualifying competition is that the last two teams in the group fight each other to determine the ranking of 8-12, while the top four teams will conduct a cross-elimination match and then enter the semi-finals and finals.

In the qualifying match, DB defeated the No.4 French Nice youth team in Group B 0:4 and advanced to the semi-finals.

Osaka Sakura defeated Chivas Regal Mexico, the third in Group A, 2:1, and also entered the semi-finals.

As if by fate, the two best young coaches in Asia will lead their respective teams to compete in the semi-finals of the Kite Cup.
