In this match, Guoqing really played with great momentum.
Most importantly, the spirit they displayed was something that many national teams could not compare to, or even not match.
The success of this group of Guoqing was largely due to their confidence, fighting spirit and fighting spirit.
Seeing the performance of this national youth team, Zhong Cheng couldn’t help but applaud these boys. In this match, Zhao Xuri’s kick was the soul of the people, so beautiful that it was indescribable.
However, unfortunately, Zhao Xuri’s luck was all spent on this kick. After that, although he had a good name of “Zhao Yikao”. Unfortunately, he really became “Zhao Yiki”. In his entire life, he scored such a good kick.
However, compared to those players who had never scored such an immortal-like goal in their entire lives, Zhao Xuri was lucky. This kick of his was really a lifetime series!
After this match, the Chinese media after the match were wildly covering the match. They had left the most ink to Zhao Xuri. Zhao Xuri’s long-range shot was truly shocking, shocking the entire world.
After the match, the media reporters blew Zhao Xuri to the skies.
Moreover, there are also many reports in the Chinese media that: “Leeds United’s president has appeared in the Netherlands, Zhong Cheng is about to recruit a few Chinese players!”
It was also reported that “Zhao Xuri’s World Wave opened the door to studying abroad, and Zhong Cheng was about to bring him to Leeds United!”
There have been too many reports of Zhong Cheng appearing in the stands of this match to inspect Chinese players and bring them to Europe, media reporters said.
Chinese journalists are very concerned about this, frantically reporting and exaggerating this point. There were even many media reporters who reminded the Chinese youth to perform well and try to leave a good impression on Zhong Cheng. It was very likely that you would be going to Europe to play.
This was a good stimulus to the young men of the Chinese Nation.
Seeing these reports, Zhong Cheng did not say anything. If this could stimulate these young men of the national youth team and make them perform better, Zhong Cheng would be very happy.
Of course, there were also many media reporters who wanted to interview Zhong Cheng, but Zhong Cheng refused.
–Division Line–
After returning to the hotel, Zhong Cheng saw Augusto Daniel. Augusto Daniel chose to watch the game between Argentina and the United States to observe Messi. However, this match was a huge surprise. Argentina had actually lost 1-0 to the United States. This was something that no one had expected.
Even Zhong Cheng was somewhat surprised. Even he did not have much memory of this World Youth Championship. He could not remember many competitions clearly. He did not expect that Argentina would unexpectedly erupt with great surprise.
However, Zhong Cheng clearly remembered that the champion of this year’s World Youth Championship was Argentina. Even if the first round of their group went cold, it was impossible for them to be eliminated, right?
Of course, Zhong Cheng was still a little worried. Could it be that there really was some butterfly effect?
That night, Zhong Cheng watched the match between Ukraine and Panama in the hotel. In this match, Ukrainian No. 10 midfielder Milevinski actually played an assisting hat-trick. His performance was very stunning. This fellow should be the one to pay attention to in the next match of the Chinese national youth team.
Ukraine beat Panama 3-1, temporarily ranking first in the second group, while China’s Guoqing was second in the group.
In the second round of the group, as long as the Chinese national youth team defeated the Ukrainian team, they would be able to advance from this group. This match was very crucial for the Chinese national youth team.

Chinese media reporters saw Zhong Cheng again in the stands, which made them firmly believe that Zhong Cheng was here to inspect the Chinese players, it seems that there really are Chinese players going to play for Leeds United.
Then who was the lucky one after Dongfang Zhuo?
The media reporters were all guessing that it should be Zhao Xuri, who was the winner of the first round of the competition. Because Leeds United seem to lack a defensive midfielder, Zhao Xuri is perfect.
At this moment, the match began.
This game was indeed more difficult than the first one. Ukraine took control of the field from the start, frequently threatening the goal of the Chinese national youth team, and in the 19th minute, they were stabbed in the back of Ukraine’s Volo’s foot, giving the Ukrainian a lead.
After conceding the ball, the Chinese players became even calmer. Their fighting spirit was even more vigorous. They attacked frequently, reversing their disadvantage.

Not only was China Guoqing missing a person, it was also missing a powerful attack point. The balance of victory seemed to have tilted towards the Ukrainians.
Zhong Cheng was also very anxious from the stands, but the referee’s decision was not wrong, so the red card should be given.
The Ukrainian equalised with a penalty.
Afterwards, the Ukrainians attacked crazily, wanting to eat the Chinese national cyan in one bite. After all, they had one more person.
However, the Chinese players did not give up. They played more actively on the pitch and ran more actively. Shortly after, China Guoqing used a corner kick and Cui Peng’s header to attack the goal. China Guoqing once again surpassed the score and defeated Ukraine 3-2 with difficulty. The group won both matches and advanced to the top 16 of the World Youth Championship ahead of schedule.
