On the same day that the Chinese team qualified, Cuba also defeated Poland and won the second place in Group E, while Russia and Italy also qualified in Group F.

The organizer quickly gave the list of semi-finalists.

Chinese team vs Russian team

Cuba vs Italy

Newton found sadly that among the four teams, the Chinese team had the weakest record in the past. He hurriedly held a combat meeting, brainstormed, and led the players to think of a way to deal with the Russians.

Elliott, coach of the Brazilian team, was in a state of desperation. Less than a minute after the match with Russia, he received a call from a director of the Brazilian Volleyball Association, and he was scolded so much that he wanted to cry.

In the end, it was the famous Brazilian volleyball star Mars who spoke for him: "Okay, this time Elliot actually did a good job. Our young man is also very good. It's just that his lack of experience in the competition caused his unstable performance in the later stage. Now we What we need to do is not to shirk responsibility, but to think about how to arrange more good opportunities for them and temper their mentality."

Mars summed it up in one sentence: "I believe that as long as they further improve their skills and increase their experience in major competitions, they will be a stronger team than the Chinese team in the future. After all, volleyball is not only a youth competition, but also an adult competition."

Is there still a small number of people who were extremely outstanding in their youth, but were taught to be human when they entered the adult game, and have since become second-rate players?

Look at the Chinese team, weren't they also World Youth Champions a few years ago?Are there any players from that current class who have made a name for themselves in international competitions?

From the perspective of Mars, that group of players also had good physical talent and excellent fighting spirit, and they played hard. Therefore, it was easy to excel in youth when everyone was rough. If people study thoroughly, they will suffer from injuries.

And this is precisely the most common problem for Chinese players.

Of course, it is possible to send players to the sea to play in higher-level leagues to improve themselves, but Mars had an exchange with Meng Yuqing from China, and proposed to help her introduce a few more opportunities to play in the league so that she can lead Players as good as myself come to Brazil.

As a result, Mars learned that there is a chain of interests in China's domestic competitions-the budgets and advertising expenses of the provincial teams and clubs are inseparable from their performance in the domestic league. Let people go.

Meng Yuqing was almost given up after being injured, and her report to play in the Brazilian league was so easy to pass.

With such a system where bureaucrats are bigger than players, even if God sends them another batch of geniuses, how many of these talents will become talented after a few years?

Not to mention becoming a talent, in a few years, how many guys will still be in good health?No serious injuries?

Thinking of this, Mars watched the TV with a sigh, pointed to the shortest player in it, and said to his old wife: "If this little boy can be well trained, for example, by me, by Russia's Nikolai, by Italy's With a good coach like Lorenzo for a few years, he might be terrible."

Lao Ma has wanted a defensive talent for a long time, but he is still the coach of the Brazilian national team. Even if the little blue-eyed man is in his hands, he can't train talents for other countries, so he can only think about it .

The old wife stuffed an apple pie into his mouth: "Why do you still talk to me about volleyball on our wedding anniversary!"

Mars apologized vaguely: "I'm sorry, dear, I still love you the most."

What Mars didn't know was that when he was lamenting the excellence of the Chinese players this year, Lorenzo, the head coach of the Italian Roast Club, had already called Alan, who was the coach of the Italian youth team this time.

Lorenzo: "Dear Alan, do you know what the senior is thinking now?" Both he and Alan are students of the Politecnico di Milano.

Alan: "Say."

Lorenzo: "I hope you can help me get a phone number from a player of the Chinese team. It is best to ask for his coach's phone number, otherwise I'm afraid there will be a language barrier between us."

Alan said succinctly: "Whose?"

Lorenzo raised the orchid and pointed: "It's the darkest young man with dark and hard muscles, a sunny smile, wearing white knee pads, and looks like a young man who makes gay want to stop."

Alan: "His name is Biyang Fu!"

Lorenzo didn't hear it clearly, but just sighed: "Oh, Beyoncé, what a beautiful name, his parents must have been listening to Beyoncé's song when they named it, right? I love his arms so much, Can you ask for his arm span while asking for his phone number? I bet his arm span is at least 10 cm longer than his height. It's my favorite model. By the way, the one named Mingming also helps Let me ask, I fell in love with him in the last World Youth Championship, but unfortunately he was busy with getting married at that time, so I didn't have time to ask him."

Alan touched the goose bumps on his arms, and lit a wax for Fu Biyang and Qiao Mingming.

The Russian coach Popov received an email from the legendary Russian men's volleyball coach and director of the Hamster Club "Tyrant" Nikolai.

The "tyrant" was slapped by a neighbor's bear while walking his dog and had been in the hospital for a month. Before he was hospitalized, Popov was his assistant coach.

Nicola:

Bobo, ask about the physical data of the Chinese pair, the two who are the most pumped and the shortest are called Erlan and Misha.

Popov immediately replied:

Do you think they will give me data?

Nicola:

to ask.

Popov knew that there was no need to discuss this matter. He resigned himself to his fate and thought that he was going to play against the Chinese team tomorrow, so let's ask.

The vision of the three legendary coaches is indeed very vicious. Qin Chunxiao, Li Ling, Fu Biyang and Qiao Mingming they focus on happen to be the four most talented players in this year's Chinese National Youth Team.

In addition to them, You Ziyu received the attention of the Tokyo Amazing Club. As the saying goes, what is missing is what to think. The Japanese men's volleyball team lacks height. The [-]-meter You Ziyu just hit their spot, not to mention that this big man has a superior serve, The handsome baby face and canine teeth that are most suitable for Japanese aesthetics... You Ziyu conquered them from the inside out.

Min Yaoyang was also noticed by Japanese clubs because of his height, but it was the Fugu Club in Osaka.

The national requirements for club competitions are not so strict. It is normal for domestic club leagues to attract foreign aid. Many outstanding players will also choose to join powerful clubs to gain the opportunity to participate in the Club World Cup and further improve themselves.

Unfortunately, except for those coaches who are in charge of big clubs, or those who have a strong desire, no other clubs intend to invite this Chinese team.

As we all know, it is difficult for Chinese volleyball players to go abroad.

But to Popov's surprise, when the Chinese and Russian teams arrived at the arena the next day, he asked Newton if he could get the physical data of Qin Chunxiao and Li Ling, and Newton readily agreed.

Newton: "The two children are growing, and the data is not accurate. You can measure them on the spot. By the way, Chunxiao has a data that you can't measure with a ruler. I will give it to you directly."

Lao Niu cleared his throat: "His Achilles tendon is 25 centimeters."

Hearing this data, Popov was so greedy that he couldn't help swallowing his saliva. At 25 centimeters, with Qin's height, wouldn't it be that Achilles tendons are almost all over his knees?

Then Newton waved to the warm-up team: "Xiaozai, be stupefied."

When he said Xiaozai, the Russians didn't know he was referring to Qin Chunxiao. When he said that, everyone looked at Li Ling.

Taking another measurement with a ruler, Popov was pleasantly surprised to find that the static talents of the two were really good.

Qin Chunxiao is 177 cm tall, short for short, but his arm span miraculously exceeds his height by 12 cm. At 189 cm, he also has big palms and slender fingers, so he can actually hold a volleyball with one hand.

Popov squeezed Qin Chunxiao's fingers, and sighed in admiration: "Such a long finger, if you go any further, it will be a spider finger."

It would be a bad thing if it really became a dominant feature of Marfan syndrome that spider refers to.

Looking at the child's proportions, flexibility, and excellent muscle circumference compared to his peers, Popov thought, this is not just talent, the athlete himself is not lacking in diligence.

And Li Ling's static talent is even better. His height is 195 cm, but his wingspan has reached 209 cm, which is 14 cm more than his height. He also has wide shoulders and a thick waist. These two parts are also very flexible. good.

Popov thought to himself, if this kid can train the strength of his shoulders, waist and abdomen well, wouldn't it be a super configuration of iron shoulders + top core?

The two good starting SSR cards actually landed on the Chinese team. Considering that these two are still partners, they can be used in a package and double the combat power, and Popov feels even more fragrant.

No wonder Nicholas asked him to ask about it.

In fact, Popov was also very interested in Fu Biyang, who was black and tough, but it was too late, because the staff had already started calling for people to line up and prepare to sing the national anthem.

At such an important moment, Popov would never be absent. He ran back quickly, pulled out the national flag, stood with the boys, and solemnly sang the national anthem.

The Russian men's volleyball team sings with their shoulders on their shoulders. Just one strong man raised his hand and put his hands on the shoulders of his comrades on both sides. The comrades also maintained the same posture, looking very united.

Qin Chunxiao listened to it for a while, thinking that his grandfather had also taught him the Russian national anthem, but it was the previous version. At that time, his grandfather taught it together with the "Internationale". He said that he had never left China since 91. up.

The grandfather of the Qin family had a very classic saying: "I only want to stand on the land of a socialist country in my life. Unless Xiaozai goes abroad to play a game and invites me to cheer on the scene, otherwise I will never leave China again."

It is a pity that Qin Chunxiao is not rich enough to invite his family to watch the game.

At this moment, the familiar tune played, and Qin Chunxiao immediately corrected his expression, stood up straight with his coach and teammates, and sang seriously.

"Get up, don't want to do..."

When the ceremony was over and the two sides began to play, Lao Niu raised his hands and asked the players to give him a high-five before going on the court. When it was Qin Chunxiao's turn to run over, Lao Niu kindly lowered his hands.

Qin Chunxiao raised his hand with a swish, and gave him a high-five.

The Russian team serves first.

Their No. [-] secondary attacker, Valerie, simply made a strong jump serve.

The speed of the ball was extremely fast, and the on-site speed measuring instrument showed that the speed of the ball had reached a level close to 130. Qin Chunxiao did not expect the opponent to serve the ball immediately when the referee blew the whistle, so he could only rely on his intuition to pounce to the left. saved the ball.

Li Ling tacitly chased after him to make amends, so stunned!In an instant, he took a slippery step, and without looking back, he lifted the ball to the middle of the net near the net.

The Roaring Chicken King Fu Biyang got up immediately, and when the opponent was caught off guard, he lobbed the ball and scored. After the ball landed, he also landed, punched his strong pectoral muscles, and screamed to the sky.

The sparring partner of the Italian youth team took photos of Fu Biyang's game according to the request of the legendary coach Lorenzo of the country.

He hesitated: Is this chimpanzee posture also sent back?Forget it, anyway, Lorenzo thinks whatever he likes of the masculine athletes he likes, so send them all back.

In this round, it was rare for Valery to fail to score by serving. He looked at Qin Chunxiao and felt a sense of pressure in his heart. He understood that this response, as the coach said, was indeed an extremely difficult defensive gate.

And the right to serve came to the Chinese team.

You Ziyu walked to the teeing area, looked at the fierce Russian team, sobered up, and decided to come up with his sharpest serve trick.

He half clenched his right hand and aimed at the volleyball.

Hit the ball high!

The yellow and blue sphere jumped high and quickly fell towards the Russian team's field.

But soon, You Ziyu's serve was also caught!
