There is a dream called football

Chapter 261 Winning the Controversy
Krautchen is already thinking about whether to prepare for a penalty shootout, because it seems that the game is infinitely close to a penalty shootout.

Players on both sides were a bit out of touch, and Nigeria's lively first half was gone, replaced by possession and passing.

The schedule of the World Youth Championship is very intensive, so it is completely understandable to cause fatigue to the players.

Krautchen is already discussing the list of penalty kicks with the Chinese coaching staff.

"Li Qiao will be the first."

"No, I think Li Qiao should be the last one."

"Then Chen Tao will be the first."

"I think it's fine."

The Nigerian coach has also been watching his watch, and he is also thinking about the candidate for the penalty shootout.

First of all, Mikel is likely to be the first, and then Keita, he is going to use all the capable players first, and then we will see.

At this time, the most controversial scene of the game appeared, and this scene will cause an uproar after the game, that is, the Chinese team won a penalty kick.

The reason is that the Chinese team's free kick hit the Nigerian player's arm, and the referee blew a penalty, but looking at the slow motion, it is not obvious that the arm is open.

Whether the handball is a penalty is the most important thing to see whether it is intentional, this is the referee's own judgment, it can be said to be a matter of opinion.

But this time the referee felt that the Nigerian player's handball was deliberately blocked, so the judgment was made. The Nigerian player felt that he was wronged, and the head coach became furious.

"It's all about stealing."

"This is the semi-final, you can't steal our victory."

Clausen said nothing, he was a little nervous.

The one who stood up to take the penalty kick was of course Li Qiao.

It has to be said that taking penalty kicks for the national team is a more difficult challenge, because you can still make up for it in the league, but it is impossible for the national team, and the victory is determined once.

Li Qiao placed the ball firmly on the penalty spot, and the players on the bench of the Chinese team have all stood up.

One goal of heaven, one goal of hell, this has happened many times in the history of the Chinese team, and it happened again at this time.

Li Qiao started the run-up, he didn't look at the opponent's goalkeeper, and when he swung his legs and shot with a wide range at the end, the opponent's goalkeeper mistakenly thought that Li Qiao might be shooting hard, but at the last moment, Li Qiao suddenly changed his ankle, instead of volleying vigorously, he pushed lightly and hit the middle.

This ball is so ingenious, four or two moves a thousand catties.

The players of the Chinese team rushed to the corner flag to celebrate with Li Qiao. This goal is likely to seal the victory.

In the last few minutes, Nigeria was unable to recover. The Chinese team defeated Nigeria and reached the final.

After the game, the angry Nigerian head coach refused Krautchen's handshake. He left the field angrily and did not attend the post-match press conference. Instead, officials from the Nigerian Football Association attended the post-match press conference instead.

"It was obviously not a penalty. The Chinese team stole our victory. It is shameful that such a thing happened in the World Youth Championship. I think FIFA should reflect on it."

This remark will inevitably be punished by FIFA, but after the game, many media also analyzed the penalty. Many people think that this is indeed not a penalty, and the referee whistled such a penalty in the semi-finals. It is indeed hasty.

"I think it would be a fairer option for both parties to possibly take a penalty."

"Penalties don't exist. He didn't mean to open his arms, but he didn't feel like avoiding them."

"The referees of the World Youth Championship should also improve their own standards."

This is the comment of many media, but some media also said that the Chinese team is the better performing side. Judging from the results, the Chinese team is fully worthy of the promotion.

"The Chinese team defeated the previous five opponents. This cannot be explained by luck. I believe that the strength of the Chinese team is not worthy of playing in the final."

Some media also said that China is Li Qiao's team alone. As long as Li Qiao is injured, the Chinese team will collapse immediately.

"The Chinese team seems to be on Li Qiao's shoulders. Liverpool's midfield is too tired. I am not optimistic about the prospects of the Chinese team in the final."

The British media even said bluntly that China is gambling with Liverpool's midfielder.

"Li Qiao's injury was caused by fatigue. The Chinese team is indeed gambling with Liverpool's midfielder."

Regarding the disturbances from the outside world, the Nigerian Football Association fined 2 US dollars and the head coach was suspended for 2 games. In addition, the referee of this game was banned from law enforcement of FIFA games for one year.

This can be regarded as a little comfort to Nigeria. As for the rematch they proposed, this is impossible.

The Chinese team has entered the final, and the domestic media is crazy about it. This is the first time in the history of the Chinese team. Apart from the Asian Cup, it is the first time that the Chinese team has entered the final of a major competition and may win the championship.

Of course, the women's football team has done it before, that is, in the 1999 World Cup in the United States, the Chinese team reached the final, and this time the men's football team did it again at the youth level.

Many people expressed that they would go to watch the football live, and many media also regretted it. Originally, they had no plan to report on the World Youth Championship. The online media only reported on Sohu and Sina, or second-hand news.

But at this time, they also sent their own reporters to the Netherlands, and they probably witnessed the history of the Chinese team.

In the face of the sudden glory, the national football players were not dazed. Clausen said that the final was the same as the first game.

"Remember, no one remembers who is the runner-up, only people know who is the champion, so the runner-up team is the same as the last one."

Of course, this is too exaggerated, but the reason is this, the runner-up may be the most uncomfortable in my heart, because it is only one step away.

For example, which one is more uncomfortable to go to Tsinghua University by one point, or to go to Tsinghua University by one hundred points?

It goes without saying!
Li Qiao suggested that Clausen introduce happy football in training, that is to say, use some wonderful training methods.

So recently the media often photographed the players laughing, and I don't know why they laughed. Could it be that they were very happy to enter the final?Too proud?

But no one knew that the players’ smiles were due to the introduction of happy football during training. The Chinese team’s opponent in the final was Argentina. For other teammates, this may be nothing, even the mighty Argentina.

But for Li Qiao, this is very important, because he knows that there is a future superstar in the Argentine team at this time-Messi.

In the previous life, Messi's national team career started from the Netherlands World Youth Championship, and Li Qiao really wanted to touch Messi.
