The Era of Emerald

() Al Araby Stadium, located in the south of Doha, is the largest comprehensive stadium in Qatar. It has complete functions and excellent facilities. It can not only hold outdoor football, rugby and track and field competitions, but also in the side hall adjacent to the stadium. It can meet the needs of basketball, table tennis and other various events.

At this time, what is going on in the stadium is the third and fourth finals of the World Youth Championship in Qatar. Since it has nothing to do with this article, I won’t go into too much detail about the previous games, and skip the time directly to the present.

"Antonio, it seems that you made a mistake in your prediction this time. Spain and Brazil are not the two teams that entered the final." Cruyff said with a smile.

"Mr. Cruyff, I'm not a god. I can't guess so accurately every time." Zhuang Mingge also said with a smile.

That's right, as an ordinary China fan, who would remember who the champion and runner-up of the World Youth Championship in Qatar are.

The performance of Portugal's young generation in recent years is undoubtedly quite amazing in European football. Figo, Rui Costa, and Paulo Sousa have all become well-known first-class stars.And after experiencing the glory of winning two consecutive World Youth Championships in 89 and 91, the strength of the Portuguese national youth team has declined sharply. Four years later, Qatar has trained a group of young teenagers, leading the Philippine Yu Yong of seniors such as Ge and Rui Costa made it to the semi-finals of this World Youth Championship with difficulty.

In the semi-finals, they lost to the Brazilian team led by Ronaldo and missed the final. They could only compete with Spain, which lost to the Argentine in the other semi-final, to compete for No.3 in the World Youth Championship.

However, these young people born in Portugal never imagined that what they were about to face would be an unprecedented massacre...

"Goooooooal! The goal is scored! Echeberia! Three to zero! The Spanish boys led Portugal by three to zero in the first half!"

number 11!Joseba Echeberia, a young striker from Athletic Club Bilbao, bloomed the most beautiful color in this third and fourth finals!

The young Spanish striker seems to want to vent all his depression of losing to the Argentine on a penalty kick in the previous semi-finals to this seemingly vulnerable opponent in front of him!

With two assists and one goal, de la Pena from the Barcelona club, as the core midfielder of the Spanish national youth team, led the team to disintegrate the opponent's will to resist in just 45 minutes net.

This talented Spanish midfielder who puts all his energy into the offense does not have to worry about his own defense-Salgado, a defensive midfielder from Celta Vigo, finally lifted his ban and returned in this game.In the quarter-finals, Salgado had already paid the price for his growth. If Salgado could play against Argentina in the semi-finals, the Spanish team might not regret to be out in the semi-finals.

"Echeberia looks very good..." During the intermission, thinking of the Bilbao striker in his memory, Zhuang Mingge couldn't help muttering to himself.

"What, Antonio, are you interested in this Echeberia? It seems that he is very likely to be the best shooter in this World Youth Championship!" Damn Cruyff, why is this guy's ears so so? OK!

"Ahem, coach Cruyff, why don't you talk about Dela Pena, he is the soul of this Spanish youth team, without his magical performance in the midfield, there would be no Echebe Ria's brilliant performance in this game is like the relationship between Maradona and Caniggia. Without Maradona as the engine and source of offense, Caniggia is just a good striker That's all."

Maradona made Caniggia, and for the same reason, in this game, it was de la Pena who made Echeberia, who charged in the frontcourt.

"Antonio, you're right, but don't get his idea. A few days ago, Rijkaard came to me on behalf of Ajax and asked if I could let de la Pena go to Ajax. Play for the first half of the season." Cruyff was also overjoyed when he mentioned the proud disciple he trained during his coaching period in Barcelona.

"Hehe, Mr. Cruyff, it seems that you are in a good mood. Is it because the player from Real Madrid did not perform well in this game?"

"Uh, this, Antonio, don't try to provoke discord... But his performance in the first half was indeed not very good."

Not only is it not good, it can be described as terrible!He is also the only player among the Spanish starting players who is sleepwalking. God knows how the future Real Madrid banner will look so sluggish in this game.

The expected de la Pena and Raul Gonzalez are playing together, is this the result? !As a fan, Zhuang Mingge expressed his disappointment...

The head coach of the Spanish National Youth Team on the sidelines also expressed his dissatisfaction with his own actions:

No. 7 Raul is off!

Put on No. 13 Morientes!

Fernando Morientes, a young center from Zaragoza in La Liga, finally got his first chance to play after waiting 405 minutes on the bench!

Seeing that Morientes was as excited as if he had taken a stimulant, Zhuang Mingge in the box suddenly had a strange feeling: Morientes is really pitiful, and he started to serve as a substitute for others at this time up...

Morientes, who has become the main striker of Zaragoza, has more temperament of a Spanish column center than another shooter in the national youth team, Echebellia. The ability to head the ball not only liberated Echeberia, who had a wonderful scoring feeling, but also created more space for De La Pena to display his talents.

5:0!A duel between brothers in the Iberian Peninsula left behind the cheers of the Spanish matador and his followers, as well as the dejected faces of the Portuguese.

Zhuang Mingge, who was watching the game in the box, accidentally discovered that Cruyff, who was sitting next to him, was indifferent and unmoved by Echeberia, who scored a hat-trick in this game, but the former Dutch superstar seemed to be interested in the game. Morientes, who scored an icing on the cake before the end, was very interested, with inexplicable expressions in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something...

After the third and fourth finals between Spain and Portugal, Zhuang Mingge and Crown Prince Said once again had a more in-depth discussion on football cooperation between Florence and Qatar.During this nearly one month, Zhuang Mingge, on behalf of Fiorentina, reached a lot of cooperation intentions with the Qatar Football Association represented by Al Thani. For example, in the next five years, Fiorentina will participate in the Arab Emirates sponsored by Qatar Airways every summer. Cup, of course, bonuses and appearance fees are definitely indispensable...
