Chapter 202: Match Against the French National Youth Team
[China's U17 national team has once again advanced to the quarterfinals, equaling its best historical result!]

[China's U17 national team has reached the quarterfinals of the World Youth Championship again, after a full 21 years!]

A brand new challenge is about to begin; a formidable foe is approaching!

[Next opponent: France's U17 national team!]

How will China's U17 national team players deal with 'French supercar' Huntley Dani?

Can the Chinese teenager break the record in the next crucial battle?

With the Chinese U17 team advancing to the quarterfinals, heated discussions about their upcoming match against the French U17 team continue to escalate.

"That's really tough to play against! That Hunterley Danny is as fast as a ghost! When he gets going, nobody can catch him!"

"I can't keep up with him the moment he starts! Absolute explosiveness and speed, damn! This kind of absolute speed talent is deadly!"

“Once Hunter Danny gets going and crosses the midfield line, Mao Biao and Xiang Yu will be like telephone poles.”

"We can only foul! But if we're not careful, we risk being penalized with a penalty kick. It's really tough!"

"After all, we've reached the quarterfinals, so there are no weak teams left. Now it's all about who has the best skills."

In Goat's live stream, fans were having a heated discussion.

They are also devising strategies to monitor Hunterley Danny, but they really don't have any good methods at the moment.

After all, that absolute speed and explosiveness are really hard to match!

"How about we send Wei Lai to keep an eye on them?"

"Wei Lai isn't good enough! Wei Lai is most afraid of these kinds of explosive speed strikers. Besides, if Wei Lai is the main defender, who will organize the offense? At present, Pei Le can't organize and connect the ball as well as Wei Lai. He is more inclined to attack!"

"My head hurts! It all depends on what the coaching staff decides to do; I can't think of a solution."

"Just pile on the numbers, that's all we can do! Don't give him enough running space, otherwise he really can't play."

Goat-kun didn't know what to say, after all, at this age, such absolute speed talent was more threatening than Wei Lai's Crescent Moon Blade.

what!
Goat sighed and thought to himself:

"Hopefully they can hold on!"

The conference room of the hotel where the Chinese national youth team is staying in Tokyo, Japan.

The national youth team players watched the match video together.

In the first round of the knockout stage, the French U17 team defeated the Mexican U17 team 3-2.

Judging from the match, the Mexican U17 team played quite well, with almost no major mistakes, but they were still managed to create three goals by Hunter Dani's relentless attacks.

Of course, Hunter Danny only scored one goal, but he also provided two assists.

Judging from these few offensive plays, Hunter Danny's ability to advance the offense is simply outrageous.

"Damn! That's fucking fast!"

Yang Fan suddenly cursed.

He was genuinely unsure whether he could keep up with such a monster.

"You can do it! Believe in yourself!"

Wei Lai patted Yang Fan on the shoulder: "If you can't keep up, our whole side will be shut down!"

In the national youth team's 30-meter sprint test, He Chaoyue and Yang Fan were almost the same speed.

However, He Chaoyue was better at combining ball control with Yang Fan, so Yang Fan seemed a bit slow in advancing the ball.

But this guy's off-the-ball movement speed is definitely top-notch in the team.

As Wei Lai said, if even Yang Fan couldn't keep up, then they really had no way to help him.

"I'll try my best!" Yang Fan grinned; "Don't put pressure on me, I'm about to explode."

Xue Guohao stood up and said, "In the next game, we will no longer use high pressing, but instead a dense defensive formation."

China's U17 national team will be using a 4-5-1 formation in their next match!
Stock up on players at halftime!
The midfield is both the first and last line of defense.

Once Hunter Danny gets to the back line, everything is over.

Fortunately, there is a gap in the overall strength of the French national youth team.

Huntley Danny was overwhelmingly strong, while the others were somewhat unable to keep up with his abilities.

Therefore, in order to maximize the development of Henri Danny's abilities, the French national youth team coaching staff will keep their tactical choices simple.

For example, this French youth national team has only one core tactic.

'Dog carrying frisbee'!
Hunterley Danny waits for the pass in the attacking third, while the others act as playmakers, lobbing the ball forward whenever they have the chance.

Then Huntley Danny made full use of his personal abilities to create opportunities.

What the Chinese national youth team needs to do is break this link, minimize Hunter Danny's touches, and keep him under constant pressure.

This was also a key reason why Xue Guohao decided to use Yang Fan as a person to keep an eye on someone.

Sacrificing Yang Fan is the way to achieve the goal of maximally weakening Hunterley Danny.

"Pei Le will rest for this match. Chen Shaojie and Wei Lai will play as a double defensive midfielder, and Yang Fan will be responsible for marking!"

"Wei Lai!" Xue Guohao looked at Wei Lai and said solemnly, "You have a heavy task in this game. You need to handle defense, organization, and offense all at once. Every counterattack is precious, so you must seize the opportunity!"

Wei Lai immediately nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Xiang Ming! He Chaoyue!"

Both of them looked up at Xue Guohao.

The latter said seriously, "You need to run more in this game. You need to participate in the counterattack, and you also have the responsibility of defense. Hold your positions and block the space, especially on Hunter Danny's main offensive end, you need to be vigilant at all times!"

The two immediately nodded: "Understood!"

"Kang Jianbin!"

"To!"

"Your task in this match is not to make forward runs, but to become a pivot. Once Wei Lai passes the ball to you, you must hold off the opposing defenders and control the ball. Then, pass it to Xiang Ming and He Chaoyue on the flanks. If you are fouled, then use set-piece tactics!"

"understand!"

"Jin Yaowen, Zhang Yuan, you two need to keep warm at all times. If someone can't hold on, you need to step in immediately!"

Xue Guohao's eyes were serious.

This match is both a tactical contest and a test of physical endurance.

With so many people trying to wear down one Hunter Denny, he refuses to believe they can't outlast him.

The tactical meeting ended, and everyone returned to their rooms.

Yang Fan plopped down on the bed.

"I kind of miss Guo Fan. That guy could definitely keep up with Hunterley Danny!"

Guo Fan's absolute speed and explosiveness are exceptional, even among national youth teams.

"But aside from speed and explosiveness, his shooting, technique, dribbling, and ball control are all lacking." Mao Biao shook his head. "Let him train in Brazil first; he'll definitely have a chance in the future!"

Yang Fan turned to Wei Lai and asked, "Old Wei, do you think we can hold out?"

“We should be able to!” Wei Lai thought for a moment and said, “Let’s stall him as much as possible, after all, this guy is really going too far for his age.”

With his body not yet fully developed and the difference in strength not being significant enough, Hunter Denny's absolute speed was a huge bug!

It's impossible to suppress!
The U17 World Cup has entered the quarterfinals.

A total of eight teams are still vying for the championship title.

Top half.

China's U17 national team vs. France's U17 national team.

Germany's U17 national team vs. Venezuela's U17 national team.

Lower half.

Brazil's U17 national team vs. Argentina's U17 national team.

Morocco U17 vs. Japan U17

After more than ten days of competition, the U17 World Cup has become increasingly intense.

The four matches, one in each half of the bracket, will be played simultaneously in Tokyo to determine the final four teams.

On November 13th, the overall atmosphere became even more enthusiastic, and the number of fans watching the game also increased significantly.

Especially fans from China.

Of the nearly 20,000 seats at this match, more than 10,000 were occupied by Chinese fans.

Fewer French national youth team fans were present, given the distance. Furthermore, almost all the Japanese fans went to watch the Moroccan national youth team play against the Japanese national youth team, making this match practically a home game for the Chinese national youth team.

"Go for it!!!"

"We're all here!!"

"Go, guys!!"

"I skipped work to come here! We absolutely have to win!"

"Take it a step further! The semi-finals are beckoning you!"

The stands were incredibly lively.

Banners from various fan associations were hung densely.

The number of flags has also increased several times, almost filling up one side of the stands.

Amidst their cheers and shouts, the only sound in the stadium was the cheers for the Chinese national youth team players.

Lek Sports Live Streaming Room.

After Zhan Jing and Zhang Lu gave their opening remarks, the camera focused on the heated stands.

"Wow! A lot of fans have come today! This is a great boost for the Chinese national youth team players. Shout it out and make this our home ground!"

"Having reached the quarterfinals, the Chinese U17 team has equaled their historical record in the U17 World Cup. This match will determine whether they can go further and break the record, and their opponent is the powerful French U17 team!"

"The French U17 national team is undefeated in its four matches so far!"

"Their number 10, Hunter Danny, is second in the top scorers list with 6 goals, one goal ahead of He Chaoyue!"

Top scorers in the U17 World Cup.

First: Finley Campbell (England), 7 goals.

Second: Huntley Dani (France), 6 goals.

Third: Diego Ruma (Argentina), 5 goals.

Third: He Chaoyue (China), 5 goals.

Third: Ronaldo (Brazil), 5 goals.

Fourth, Xhaka (Brazil), 3 goals.

Upon seeing this top scorers list, fans immediately began to discuss it heatedly.

"He Chaoyue is still amazing! Even with so many talented players, he can still make it into the top three on the scoring list!"

"I feel he's second on par with Diego Ruma and Ronaldo. That English kid is a stat-padder, damn it! He racked up six goals in the first round! And then only scored one more!"

"British players all know this; they talk a big game, but when it comes to actually playing, they're all terrible!"

"His net worth is inflated too much."

"But there's no denying that Huntley Dani is truly exceptional. The overall strength of the French national youth team isn't actually that strong, but he managed to raise its ceiling."

"He's incredibly aggressive, almost inhuman. Every time he gets going, the opponent's defense has to go into overdrive!"

"His body hasn't fully developed yet. At this age, he doesn't have the advantage of physical strength. This guy is a huge liability; you can't hold him back!"

At the players' tunnel, the Chinese U17 team and the French U17 team were already standing on both sides, ready to enter the field at any time.

Wei Lai turned his head to look at the French national youth team to his side.

At the far end of the crowd stood a man with a buzz cut, about 175 centimeters tall, with large, bright eyes and dark skin.

The body is very well-proportioned, and although the legs are not very thick, they give people a sense of streamlined power, as if they can unleash tremendous energy at any time.

This guy is like a sword drawn from its sheath, a sharp and chilling sword!

Huntley Danny!

In the future of football, in an era of diverse schools of thought, we will still stand at the very top.

He is the new leader of French football after Rafael.

Unlike any of their previous opponents!
Hunterley Danny is absolutely top-tier; even in an environment teeming with geniuses, he remains the brightest star.

Ok?
Hunterley Danny suddenly turned his head and looked at Wei Lai.

The two looked at each other.

Hunterley Danny grinned and winked at him.

Wei Lai raised an eyebrow and nodded slightly, as if to say hello.

"Danny!"

His teammate turned around and said, "After the start of the game, we'll try our best to pass the ball to you. Now it's up to you."

"Don't worry!" Hunterley Danny smiled confidently, "Leave it to me!"

The teammate frowned slightly:

"Be careful, the Chinese U19 team is not easy to beat, especially that number 10, his long passes are very threatening."

Hunterley Danny shrugged: "We'll win, man!"

Looking at the opponent's confident demeanor, the teammate suddenly smiled and said, "That's right, we will win, we will keep winning."

Whoosh!!!

The cheers from the crowd suddenly rose to a fever pitch.

The players from both sides enter the field.

The quarter-finals of the Japan U17 World Cup are about to begin.

"Come on!"

"come on! Come on!"

"Chinese youth! Rise up!"

"Fight! Fight!"

Amidst thunderous cheers, both teams began the pre-match procedures.

During this time, Zhan Jing also introduced the starting lineups of both sides.

China's U17 national team (4-5-1):
Goalkeeper: Chen Zhe.

Defenders: Lu Chaokuan, Mao Biao, Xiang Yu, Murat.

Midfielders: He Chaoyue, Wei Lai, Yang Fan, Chen Shaojie, Xiang Ming.

Forward; Kang Jianbin.

France's U17 national team (4-2-3-1):
Goalkeeper: Atak.

Defenders: Sadip, Urpisa, Sanders, Mdidi.

Midfielders: Dart Gomis, Breno, Gunnett, Ford Heath, Huntley Danny.

Forward: Lantrick.

"Human invasion is truly terrifying!"

Yang Fan couldn't help but grin as he looked at the French national youth team's lineup.

There were a total of 11 starters, 9 of whom were Black.

Knowing it's the French national youth team, you'd think it was an African national youth team.

"Yang Fan! Stay focused, you must keep up!"

Wei Lai shouted.

Yang Fan immediately turned his head; "Don't worry! Even if I run myself to death, I'll follow him."

Wei Lai gave a thumbs up: "Keep it up!"

The players from both sides lined up on either side of the field, ready to start at any moment.

The first half began with the French U17 national team kicking off.

Meanwhile, the Chinese national youth team is ready to face the challenge.

The French U17 team blindly trusted Henri Danny in their first attack, and if he makes a threat this time, it will become even more difficult for them to play.

"We must stop the first attack!" Wei Lai clenched his fist tightly.

He couldn't keep up with Hunter Danny by himself.

But once Yang Fan gets his opponent entangled, the pressure will be reduced considerably.
