Chapter 5 Confident(1/2)
There were two other games at the same time as the Chinese team, one of which was Spain against Morocco, and the young bullfighters Bl defeated Morocco.
Another game is Argentina against the United States.
Argentina is considered a favorite to win the championship this year. They also have a tradition of World Youth Championship. They have won the World Youth Championship four times before, making them the team that won the most championships.
However, their first appearance at this World Youth Championship was very disappointing. They actually lost to the United States with a score of 0l.
It can be said that the biggest upset in this World Youth Championship so far...
※※※
"Argentina lost?" On the bus back to the hotel, Rongguang heard his teammates discussing the other two games. When he heard that Argentina lost, he was also quite surprised.
"Yes, yes." Gao Lin was very happy to see Rongguang talk to him on his own initiative.
“Aren’t they very strong?”
"So it's unpopular, unpopular. I really didn't expect that such a strong team in Argentina would lose..."
The whole car was talking about Argentina.
At the World Youth Championship, China and Argentina still have historical relationships.
In the last World Youth Championship held in Argentina, the Chinese national youth team lost to the feet of Argentina.
Although there were a group of people four years later, everyone's concern for Argentina is the same.
Glory is also very related, but he has other purposes. He asked: "How is Messi performing?"
“It is said that the performance is quite average.”
Rongguang heard this answer and fell into deep thought again.
Messi is not in good shape... Then can Argentina still make the group stage, will I still have a chance to play against this legendary genius in the previous game?
Glory suddenly became worried about Argentina's fate.
※※※
The unexpected loss made the whole Argentina team depressed, which was a big blow to them. Before the game started, everyone said that they were the favorites to win the championship and they deserved to win. The United States is not worth mentioning at all.
Everyone went for victory, and had never done any psychological accuracy like "If you lose to the United States"
As a result, when failure really came, they didn't know how to deal with it.
Not only in the locker room, but also on the bus back to the hotel, everyone also seemed very quiet, or silent.
They were like a group of defeated cockfighting, no longer had the pride they had before.
Messi was among them, and he even buried his head lower.
Because he felt guilty, more guilty than all his teammates.
Before the game, he was considered the leader of the Argentina team and the biggest star in the team. He should shoulder the responsibility of leading Argentina to win the championship. Messi is also happy to bear such responsibilities.
Some media even compared him with glory.
This was a kind of politeness to him, and he was very happy.
But the actual performance is so bad...
The results of the three games of the day are being played on the bus radio.
"...In the three games played at the same time, the Chinese team was eye-catching. They played very offensive football in the game, which was beautiful and sharp. At the same time, their core, Rong, the biggest star in this World Youth Championship, set a first record for the team in the game, and finally helped the Chinese team defeat the runner-up of the European Football Youth Championship 20 in the game..."
Glory scored a goal, and helped the team win
Really...awesome
And when the media compared themselves with glory before the game, I was still a little fluttering and complacent.
He felt his face blushing now, and he wanted to make a big gap on the ground to let himself get in.
What a shame
Thinking of this, Messi buried his head deeper...
※※※
When he returned to the hotel, the Chinese team was cordially received and condolences from the leaders of the Football Association.
Everyone, including Rongguang, shook hands and said encouragement by the leaders of the Football Association.
Some of the teammates seemed very excited.
Only Rongguang wants to yawn - it's so boring. He didn't mention the money after talking for a long time... It seems that there is really no bonus for the national team's game
The game against Turkey was played in the afternoon, and after returning to the hotel, there was still plenty of time.
Clauchen did not just grazed sheep for the players.
But after dinner, the players of the team were called to the conference room and then began to review the game that had just ended. By watching the game video, we explained to the players what was good and what was bad in the game. Those people need to pay attention to, and those people need to change...
Because the game has just ended, it is best to relive it at this time.
So Clauchen didn't dare let the players take a holiday after the game.
Most of the players of the China Youth Team have become accustomed to Clauchen's approach.
They did gain a lot from this kind of game analysis and felt that they made great progress.
In this review, Clauchen mainly raised the problem of the team's low ability to seize opportunities.
However, this problem cannot be solved in one or two days of training.
The ability to seize opportunities and score is a very comprehensive ability, and shooting skills are just one of them.
In addition, there is the ability to connect to the position, the psychological quality of getting opportunities in front of the goal, and even physical fitness.
So in the review, Clauchen proposed a solution, and it would be unrealistic to expect these players to turn into Inzag immediately.
So in the next game, Rongguang will score more shots.
The task of organizing the offensive was handed over to Cheng Tao.
※※※
Because I won the first game and won a beautiful game, the Chinese team suddenly became a highly-watched team in the World Youth Championship.
Even their warm-up training on the lawn outside the hotel will attract many people to watch.
All this makes the Chinese players feel very novel - they have never enjoyed such treatment
Now they feel that they are really a star.
This high-profile feeling is good, but it doesn't make them feel stressed.
After the first game, they were also full of confidence in themselves.
They firmly believe that they are strong, just as Clauchen said.
Those who can persevere until the end of those fifteen days of training are strong.
Those who can keep up with the rhythm of glory in training and competitions are also powerful.
So... they are very powerful
If you want to watch, let them watch. We have nothing to worry about.

Feng Mingjian followed Clauchen's coaching team to prepare for the next game, and he was curious about what he saw.
There was a kind of confidence from the bottom of this group of Chinese players actually on the faces of this group of Chinese players?
This is not the kind of self-confidence that is pretended to be encouraged by the leader, the kind of self-confidence... it is a bit "crazy" and too "excited".
This kind of confidence is very calm, not the kind of high-profile rush to show off "I'm very confident", but it's just very confident
Feng Mingjian has met many Chinese national players, and he has never seen such confidence on their faces.
This is true confidence in your heart.
There is no need to rely on others' encouragement or praise or singularity to support it.
And even for the same group of players, they were not like this before...
Feng Mingjian thought about it carefully and seemed to be like this after the match against Turkey.
When it comes to competition, you have a sense of confidence
The same is true during training.
This is a really...interesting change.
It seems that this team has undergone such a transformation since the glory came.
Feng Mingjian suddenly became very curious. If this continued, what would this team look like?
※※※
The next game three days after the first game, on June 14, China faced Ukraine on the same field.
Ukraine also won the first round of the group stage, with them defeating Panama.
To be continued...
