Chapter 184 Global Focus, Li Qing vs Mbappe

The result of the match between the England U20 youth team and the Mexico U20 youth team was 5:1. The last goal was not scored by Li Qing, but it was directly related to him. It was his breakthrough with the ball that attracted most of the defensive attention and then scored. The ball went to Solanke, who did not take credit. He handed the ball to Ocho who came on as a substitute.

The end of this game means that the last semi-final place is decided. England U20 will compete with France U20 for a place in the final.

Uruguay's U20 youth team will face South American qualifier rival Venezuela U20 at the Daejeon World Cup Arena. The two teams met twice in the South American Youth Football Championship at the beginning of the year. Venezuela's U20 youth team had the upper hand, winning one and drawing one.

However, judging from the overall strength, Uruguay U20 is obviously stronger, so the key to determining the outcome lies in the on-the-spot performance of both sides.

The England U20 youth team and the French U20 youth team led by Kylian Mbappe were considered by the world media to be the World Youth Championship finals in advance.

Whether it is the Uruguayan U20 youth team or the Venezuelan U20 youth team, their strength is obviously inferior to the England U20 youth team and the French U20 youth team, and they are not enough to win the World Youth Championship.

I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but the semi-final between England U20 Youth Team and France U20 Youth Team was arranged in the second game, that is, after the semi-final between Uruguay U20 Youth Team and Venezuela U20 Youth Team.

At the regular press conference after the game, Simpson, the head coach of the England U20 youth team, showed his sharpness in the media interview for the first time. He said with confidence: "The goal? Of course it is the championship! Don't ask me where my confidence comes from. People who watched the game all know."

Obviously, Li Qing, who contributed nine goals in three games, is Simpson's confidence.

The next day, the headlines of the media reports were very uniform. They used the title "Finally No More Pretense" to insinuate that Simpson was too low-key.

After reading the media reports, Mbappe, the top star of the French U20 youth team, naturally clenched his fists. Originally, he was going to accept the invitation of the adult national team coach Deschamps to participate in the World Cup qualifiers this year, but he saw Li Qing participating in the World Youth Championship. I am a little excited and want to prove that I am stronger than Li Qing!

Hence the idea of ​​participating in the World Youth Championship.

For this reason, Ferreira, the head coach of the National Youth Team, also had trouble with Deschamps.

In the semi-finals of this World Youth Championship, Mbappe contributed five goals and three assists. His performance was already quite amazing, but compared to Li Qing, he was still far behind.

Mbappe's five goals and three assists were completed in five games. What about Li Qing?

Three games!

In addition to nine goals, he also had four assists.

From a personal performance point of view, Mbappe is indeed not as good as Li Qing. Mbappe also admits this in his heart, but he hopes to use his personal ability to help the French U20 youth team defeat the England U20 youth team led by Li Qing in the semi-finals and advance to the finals. !

Before the World Cup qualifiers started, the 2017 FIFA U20 World Cup attracted the attention of fans all over the world, especially the confrontation between the England U20 youth team and the France U20 youth team. This meeting was considered to be an early meeting in the final. .

In addition, the first confrontation between Li Qing and Mbappe also brought extra highlights to this semi-final.

Both Li Qing and Mbappe are considered to be the hottest new stars in world football today. Li Qing proved himself in the Premier League and even surpassed Harry Kane to win the 2016-2017 season by scoring 31 goals in fifteen league rounds. Premier League top scorer.

Mbappe does not have the title of top scorer, but his performance in the Champions League is recognized by fans all over the world. In addition, both of them are very young. Fans with a little thinking ability know that there are many players who will determine the outcome of this semi-final. Maybe it’s Li Qing and Mbappe!

The atmosphere in the England U20 youth team is very good. Solanke and Tomori, who were originally dissatisfied with Li Qing, no longer need the guidance of head coach Simpson as time goes by. Li Qing conquered Solanke and Tomori with his performance inside.

After all, their strength is not at the same level, so there is no point in comparing them.

England has the most developed media in the world. Due to Li Qing's outstanding performance, it was widely reported that England's U20 youth team will win the World Youth Championship for the first time!

Although the French media also believe that Li Qing is better than Mbappe, football is a team sport. No matter how good Li Qing is, there is no way to beat a team. Therefore, the French media believe that the team that will advance to the finals will be France. U20 youth team.

The Chinese media is quite optimistic about the England U20 youth team because of Li Qing. Although Mbappe is equally good, they think it is still much worse than Li Qing.

Mbappe wants to lead the France U20 youth team to defeat the England U20 youth team led by Li Qing?

Are you kidding me?

Time is passing slowly. The domestic media and fans in England and the domestic media and fans in France are fighting fiercely on the Internet. However, the players on both sides are very restrained and are not affected by the fishing boat. All their attention is focused on the upcoming FIFA game. U20 World Cup semi-finals.

Because Li Qing and Mbappe are so sharp, the semi-final between the Uruguay U20 Youth Team and the Venezuela U20 Youth Team received almost no foreign attention except from the domestic media and fans.

Two days passed by in a blink of an eye. The semi-finals of the World Youth Championship between Uruguay U20 Youth Team and Venezuela U20 Youth Team kicked off first. Because the game has reached the semi-finals, no one can afford to lose. At the beginning, everyone was restrained and focused. It's more about defense and waiting for the opponent to make the first mistake.

The first half ended with 0:0. At the beginning of the second half, the Uruguay U20 youth team, which had a slight advantage in overall strength, suddenly accelerated its offensive rhythm. The Venezuela U20 youth team did not react for a while.

Uruguay's U20 youth team's three goals came to fruition in the fourth minute of the second half. Forward Schipacase broke through and caused a foul on the Venezuelan U20 youth team's defensive player. The referee Maziniak decisively awarded a penalty kick.

De La Cruz, who took the penalty kick, helped Uruguay U20 break the deadlock.

The Uruguayan U20 youth team, which was leading the score, did not take the opportunity to seal the victory, but strengthened its defense. The problem was that the Venezuela U20 youth team equalized the score in stoppage time.

Neither side made any achievements in overtime. The Venezuela U20 youth team, which had a psychological advantage, finally eliminated the Uruguay U20 youth team 4:3 and reached the World Youth Championship finals in history.
