Chapter 12 Don't even dare to think about it?(1/2)
If it was before this World Youth Championship that the Chinese team would eliminate the German team, it would definitely be a big joke. Even Chinese fans themselves would not believe it - although they knew nothing about the German youth team, they would feel very powerful as soon as they heard the name "Germany".
How can the Chinese team eliminate Germany?
Even the World Youth Championship is impossible
But after playing three group matches, when the Chinese team really eliminated the German youth team, no one was surprised.
Especially Chinese fans, after the Chinese team eliminated Germany, they were cheering and would not think "this is impossible".
Because everyone has fully realized the strength of this Chinese team through these three group matches.
It is completely different from the Chinese team they remember.
It is normal for this team to eliminate Germany and it is not worth making a fuss.
In another quarterfinal match held on the same day and at the same time as the Chinese team, the Italian youth team Bl defeated the American youth team and was qualified to advance to the quarterfinals.
Later, another representative of Asian football who entered the quarterfinals of 16 made a debut, but they lost to Morocco in 0l and missed the quarterfinals.
Syria lost to Brazil 0l in another game and was also eliminated.
In this way, China is the only Asian shooter in the quarterfinals.
They also shoulder the mission of defending the dignity of Asian football.
But in fact, the Chinese players don't have this idea.
What is the dignity of Asian football? What does it have to do with us?
We only care about our own dignity.
China still can't handle its own affairs, it also represents Asia...
On the afternoon of the next day, Nigeria defeated Ukraine 0.
In another game, Argentina eliminated Colombia with a score of 2l after ninety minutes of fierce fighting.
Messi still performed well in this game.
He and Argentina quickly found their state after experiencing their initial sluggish state.
After the game, the official website of FIFA praised Argentina for playing the "level that the favorite to win the championship should have". It can be seen that they are very optimistic and admired Argentina.
The main reason is that there are many outstanding genius teenagers in this Argentine formation.
Messi is especially represented.
The last two quarterfinals, Spain B0 defeated Türkiye, and the Netherlands B0 defeated Chile
The final list of the quarterfinals was determined.
The ones who entered the quarterfinals were Italy, China, Morocco, Brazil, Nigeria, Argentina, the Netherlands, and Spain.
In the quarterfinals, the Chinese team's opponent is...Brazil

"I really didn't expect that you met Brazil." Outside the training ground of the Chinese team, Marcos Costa, a reporter from Brazil's "Lens" shaking his head and sighing about his fate.
"I didn't expect Marcos. This is really interesting. Are there people I know in this team?" Rongguang asked.
"There is really one. Your teammate when you were in the St. Paul youth team, Rico."
"Huh, it's him?"
Rongguang was a little surprised.
Of course, Rico still remembers a very fast black forward. He remembers that when he first joined the Sao Paulo youth team, Rico was already a player of the Brazilian under-17 national team.
So now three years later, it is normal for him to become a member of Brazil's under-20 youth team.
but……
If there is Rico, why is there no Lucas?
Rongguang asked the questions in his heart.
Marcos Costa shook his head: "Lucas's playing style is not very popular with coaches, so it is not just the national youth team, but in fact he has never been selected for any Brazilian national team."
"That's a pity." Rongguang said. "I also want to be able to fight him in the game.
"Actually, I think this is a pity. But Lucas may only be able to play as a substitute when he comes. He is incompatible with the style of this Brazilian team."
Rongguang nodded: "I heard of it."
At the end of the conversation, Rong Guang asked Marcos Costa: "Marcos, I'll ask a question. If I eliminated Brazil, you won't resent me, right?"
Marcos Costa was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "If you eliminate Brazil, it is God's choice. God doesn't want us to go further. How can I resent God's arrangements? But if you are eliminated, when I come to interview you, you are not allowed to reject me."
Rong Guang stretched out his hand and shook Marcos Costa: "A word is determined."
※※※
When Rong Guang bid farewell to Marcos Costa and returned to the team, everyone was envious of him for being able to chat with foreign journalists for so long.
Also very curious.
"Rongguang, who is that?" Gao Lin went up to ask.
"Marcos, the reporter I met while playing football in Sao Paulo. He was the first to give me an exclusive interview," explained Rong Guang.
"A Brazilian reporter? Are you here to spy on military information?"
"No, I asked what the Brazilian team is, who I am familiar with, no..."
"Yes, Rongguang, you played football in Brazil before, so there must be people you are familiar with in this Brazilian national youth team, right?"
"Only one." It's a pity that Rongguang thought of Lucas.
Rongguang has been with him for the longest time, so he naturally knows Lucas's strength. He is indeed very powerful.
It is a pity for Lucas to not be selected for Brazil, but Brazil is actually a loss.
If this Brazilian team had Lucas, he might have been worried. Since there was no such thing as 100% of the time... there was nothing to care about.
"It's just a substitute." Rongguang briefly introduced Rico.
Everyone is also very concerned about the opponents they will meet in the quarterfinals.
"Is Brazil strong?"
They thought to themselves that Rong Guang had played in Brazil for two years, so they should know something, right?
But Rongguang shrugged: "I don't know."
"Ah?" Everyone was surprised.
"Uh..." Rongguang spread his hands, "I never care about the opponents who will come next."
Yes, he never cared about his opponent in the next game, but he still cared about his "opponent"...
A group of people were stunned and it took a long time to come back to their senses.
"It's really a glory, this is confidence."
"Rongguang is right, we should have the spirit of this. No matter who the opponent is in the next game, just play your own football."
"That's right, what's Brazil? It won them all the same."
After the initial surprise, everyone suddenly realized it.
Only Dong Zhuofang whispered in the corner: "A bunch of idiots..."

“Our opponent in the quarterfinals is China”
Within Brazil, the quarter-final opponents are also being discussed.
"It's China..."
Raphael Sobis said this and turned his eyes to Rico sitting in the corner.
The others followed and looked at Rico.
"Riko, Rong and you are teammates, right?"
Sobis asked.
Rico nodded: "Yes."
"I'm very curious whether he really can't play football when he entered St. Paul?"
Everyone looked at Rico and looked forward to Rico's answer.
"Yes, he can't even understand the rules of football. When Lux taught him to get the ball, he got on the move..."
Rico told everyone about the story of Glory in St. Paul’s Youth Team.
A group of people were stunned.
"This is incredible. I watched his game at the World Youth Championship and it is hard to believe that this person would not be able to play football three years ago..." Sobis said in surprise with wide mouth wide open.
"That's the legend of our Sao Paulo." Like Rico, another defender from Sao Paulo, Ed Carlos also interrupted. "It is said that Rong dared to challenge Kaka publicly on the first day after entering the first team.
