I am the Coach of the National Youth Team

Chapter 82 The Battle Against Brazil

The time has come to June 17th, when the semi-finals of the World Youth Championship will be held on this day. Li Long and the Huaxia National Youth Team will challenge the mighty Brazilian National Youth Team.

It seems to the outside world that there is a gap in strength between the two sides, but Rogelio Mical, the head coach of the Brazilian National Youth Team, did not have the slightest intention to underestimate the enemy when he was interviewed by the media before the game.

If we can make it to the semi-finals, then the Huaxia National Youth Team is definitely not a weak team. I have watched their game videos carefully, and I know that the Huaxia National Youth Team is very difficult to deal with.

But this Huaxia National Youth Team is too young. Compared with us, it is undoubtedly more experienced. I believe we are the team that has the last laugh. Rogelio Mikaal replied firmly.

Then it was Li Long's turn, and everyone wanted to know how this young Chinese local coach would answer.

I know that the outside world generally believes that our Huaxia team will lose this game, but I firmly believe in the strength of our team. We have the strength to beat the Brazilian team.

Since we have reached the semi-finals, we are here for the championship!

In the pre-match press conference, there was no sense of gunpowder between the two sides, but neither side showed weakness, and both showed their determination to win.

Li Long had to admit that the head coach of the Brazilian team, Rogelio Mikaal, was right. There was indeed an age problem.

The age gap means the physical gap, the ability gap, the experience gap and so on.

Because the scouting system in Li Long's mind may have reduced a lot in terms of ability, but there is no way to avoid the gap in physical and experience.

You must know that many Brazilian players have already served as the main players in Brazil, some have already come to Europe, and some players are even recognized as talented players.

For example, Danilo, who plays for Braga in the Portuguese Super League, is recognized as a talented midfielder. After moving to Braga last year, he quickly became an important player with his outstanding performance.

He has even attracted the favor of many strong teams, but Li Long knows that Danilo is somewhat overestimated. In the future, Danilo will not reach that height, but now Danilo's ability is still very high. Danilo's Ability reached 72 points.

In fact, the one with the highest potential is Jesus. After all, Jesus is still young. He is a teenager in 1997. Although he has the opportunity to play in the club, he mostly plays as a substitute.

And at this time, Jesus is not a forward, he plays more in the midfielder position.

The start of the game is getting closer and closer, and Li Long is making final tactical arrangements in the locker room.

Brazil's lottery configuration is very strong, so the defense must retreat a little bit. When necessary, the midfielders should push back as much as possible to help defend.

Huang Haiming! You should be facing Ruo Re. You have an advantage in speed. Speed ​​is not his advantage. You have to grasp this advantage. Li Longxian and Huang Haiming said.

Understood! Coach. Huang Haiming replied, but obviously not so confident.

Tian Runtao! The opponent's two central defenders are not tall, so make more use of your physical advantage.

We must be passive in this game, so we must do a good job in defense. As long as we defend, we will fight back, Mu Wentao! You have to show your speed advantage!

Li Long looked around and found that the players were obviously not as confident as before. Except for a few players, their faces were basically serious.

Guys! It's said outside that we are going to stop in the semi-finals. Our Huaxia National Youth Team will definitely lose to the Brazilian National Youth Team. Even domestic people think so. That's the Brazilian team! Li Long said seriously.

I know that among you, you think the same way. You may think that the original goal was to qualify for the group stage. Now that you can reach the semi-finals, you have no regrets. You are already very satisfied.

But!

Li Long suddenly said something loudly, the players' attention was quickly attracted, and they were all looking at Li Long intently.

But! Is that really so?

I want to ask, why can't we win? Is it because the opponent is the Brazilian team? Li Long said excitedly.

Remember! Only the weak will give up in the face of a challenge, while the strong and the brave will always face it directly, so in the end we really lost, how can it be like this? There is nothing shameful in falling down, and there is no shame in sitting on the ground. It's shameful to be indifferent!

Look at each of you! Do you all want to be the weak sitting on the ground? Li Long asked playfully.

Of course not! Tian Runtao shouted excitedly.

Me neither! I want to win! Chi Ruofei continued to shout.

I want to win too! Zhao Wenchao said firmly with his head down.

With the roar of the main player, the eyes of all the players became different. They were no longer worried before, and they were all full of fighting spirit.

Want to win? That's good! Let me tell you, we definitely have a chance! Defense must be done well! Li Long said firmly.

It's time, get ready to play!

Li Long led the players out of the locker room, but unlike when they entered the locker room before, the players were all full of fighting spirit, and they were no longer as timid as before.

Li Long looked at the state of the players, not only smiling, this is what Li Long wanted to see for the National Youth Team.

Players from both sides came to the player tunnel and were ready to go on stage. Players from both sides came on stage one after another.

Because it was a youth event, there were not many spectators before, but this time it was different, this time it was almost full of spectators.

When the players appeared on the stage, there was an instant burst of cheers, which the two sides had never seen before in this World Youth Championship.

Most of them are Huaxia fans, some are waving national flags in their hands, and some are beating the drums in front of them to cheer for Huaxia players.

In the group stage, the Brazilian National Youth Team, like the Huaxia National Youth Team, won all the matches, but in the top 16 and top 8 matches, they defeated their opponents with difficulty. Both games ended in penalty shootouts. Eliminated the opponent.

The Huaxia players looked at the Brazilian players with fighting spirit in their eyes.

The players of the Brazilian team found that the Huaxia players looked very calm. Although their head coach told them not to underestimate the enemy, the Brazilian National Youth Team, which was not the main force last year, was able to beat the Huaxia National Youth Team by a large score.

What's more, there are several main players in the current team who participated in last year's Panda Cup, but the main players at that time could only serve as substitute players in this Brazilian national youth team. They will definitely win a game.

Li Long looked at the players who were lining up to shake hands on the court, and he was looking forward to this game more and more. He was looking forward to the miracle of the Huaxia National Youth Team.
