At this time, no one expected that Shen Xiao would be in this position on the court and choose a long-range shot in the last period of the game.

All nine members of the Mali team were crowded in the penalty area. They originally planned to use their numerical advantage to defend, thinking that with so many people, they could defend Shen Xiao's attack no matter what.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Shen Xiao actually chose to shoot in advance.

The players of the Mali team all looked nervously at the ball kicked by Shen Xiao!

Football is very fast and the arc is very wide.

Mali's players immediately ran towards the goal, trying their best to block the goal behind them.

However, Shen Xiao is a "phenomenal football master". In terms of ability value, his ball has already reached 120+.

In the games that have been unlocked by the system, Shen Xiao is invincible!

How could the young Malian players intercept a shot like Shen Xiao's?

At this moment, the football was like a missile, quickly passing over the heads of all the Mali players, and then flying directly towards the goal.

"Whoosh!"

The football successfully entered the net!

Before the game was about to end, Shen Xiao helped the team equalize the score.

"Beep!"

At this time, the referee blew the whistle to confirm that the goal was valid.

After a few seconds, the referee's whistle sounded again, officially announcing the end of the game.

The World Youth Championship group match between China U20 and Mali U20 ended in a draw with a score of 1:1.

Although the game was a draw, the Mali players were very disappointed when the opponent's players equalized the score one minute before the end.

For them, conceding a goal before the end of the game was more painful than losing this game.

Still unable to fully accept the result of the draw, the players and coaches of the Mali team all had a straight face and slowly left the field.

The goal hero of this game, Shen Xiao, was immediately surrounded by his teammates and then kept throwing him into the air.

The Chinese team was able to score a thrilling 1 point in the group stage, and Shen Xiao took the greatest credit.

So although Shen Xiao only played for about 3 minutes in this game, all the players regarded Shen Xiao as the best MVP of this game.

"It seems that we have to change our old thinking. If the team does not make progress as a whole, it might be good to cultivate a 'team spirit'!"

Facing the result of this game, Gao Qiang also sighed in disbelief to Wu Yuandong beside him.

"Yes, Director Gao, this matter is also caused by my blind suggestions at the beginning..."

"Fortunately, my wrong judgment did not cause wrong results for the team!"

"Let's correct our mistakes slowly in the next game! Director Gao, I'm sorry for Shen Xiao. From now on, as an uncle, I will really not shy away from relatives!"

Wu Yuandong was still surprised at the result of this game, and he sighed in the same way at this moment.

"Yeah, look at how convinced the brats on the field are and how they laugh at that little guy, haha!"

"Lao Wu, our coaching staff will have to work overtime when we go back tonight... After all, our E group's qualifying situation is a bit complicated!"

At this moment, Gao Qiang seemed to have thought of something, and his expression instantly became a little serious.

At this time, Wu Yuandong quickly took out a notebook, then took out a pencil from his jacket pocket and started writing and drawing in the notebook.

After a while, after Gao Qiang and Wu Yuandong looked at the data on the paper, they both couldn't help but sigh.

Because, after the draw between the Chinese team and the Mali team, the qualifying situation of Group E became very strange.

After two games in the group stage, the Chinese team and the Mali team both had one win and one draw, with the same score of 4 points.

The French team, with one win and one loss, currently has 3 points.

Another Panamanian team is slightly less lucky. It has lost both games and has 0 points in the group.

Therefore, the last game of this group will become very critical.

Because in addition to the Panama team, which is already destined to be eliminated, the Chinese team, the French team and the Malian team all have the possibility of advancing.

In the last game, the Chinese team will play against Panama, while the French team will play against Mali.

After Wu Yuandong closed his notebook, he and Gao Qiang left the stadium with serious expressions.

Because, in the last game, the Chinese team faced the Panama team that was already destined to be eliminated, but the coaching staff of the Chinese team did not think that they would "give up on themselves" in the last game.

If the French team will play a "desperate" game with Mali in the last game, it must be because whoever wins this game will qualify!

But if the Panamanian team has the mood of "the soldiers must win", it will actually be very "tricky" for the Chinese team.

Therefore, for the Panama team, they still cannot easily underestimate their opponent. Instead, the Chinese team must pay more attention to the last opponent in this group stage.

At this moment on the court, Shen Xiao, the scorer of the Chinese team in this match, was still surrounded by enthusiastic teammates.

At this moment, Shen Xiao also understood more and more what Mendes had said to him all along, that is, in the football world, strength is respected!

Only when a person has real ability will he be respected by everyone.

After a while, many reporters slowly poured into the stadium.

Because, for the audience and fans, Shen Xiao's goal was also very exciting, and it also satisfied many people's curiosity about the "reversal" of the game.

Shen Xiao scored a goal at the last moment, turning this game that was almost certain to be lost. This kind of thing will definitely be talked about by all the fans after the game.

Shen Xiao was a little impatient when faced with reporters' "long-term and short-term" interviews.

After seeing members of the coaching staff leaving the court, Shen Xiao also slowly left the court with his teammates.

On the other side of the city, in the hotel where the French team stayed, Todibo turned off the TV in the room at this time.

"Quisance, that's it, let's get ready for the French team to compete against the Mali team in the last game!"

"Also, your teacher Shen Xiao is really amazing!"

Todibo put the TV remote control aside, and then half-jokingly said to Qusance, who still looked surprised.

"Okay! Tomorrow morning, we will train as a team!"

"We will win the last group match! And win big!"

At this time, Cuisance said to Todibo very seriously.

After saying that, Qusance fell on the bed and covered his head with the quilt.

"Teacher, I really look forward to meeting you in the knockout stage!"

…

Time soon came to the early hours of that night, and a room in the hotel where the Chinese national team stayed was still brightly lit.

The teachers of the coaching staff of the National Youth Team were discussing something while watching the news that night.

Due to the recent World Youth Championship, most of the focus of local TV stations in Qatar is on this World Youth Championship.

The recent period has been dominated by various group matches, and compared to other mediocre matches, the match between China and Mali, as well as Shen Xiao's goal at the last minute, were even more dramatic.

Therefore, in the sports news that night, there was a lot of attention and discussion about the just-concluded Group E match of the World Youth Championship.

"I suggest that player Shen Xiao's starting qualification be restored!"

At this time, one of the members of the coaching staff raised his hand and signaled to everyone.

"I agree!"

"agree!"

"agree!"

…

At this time, other members of the coaching staff also raised their hands, and they all agreed with this suggestion.

Among the members of the coaching staff who raised their hands in approval, Wu Yuandong also raised his right hand very solemnly to express his attitude.

"Okay, I agree too!"

"For the following games, let's formulate tactics with Shen Xiao as the core!"

At this time, Gao Qiang, as the head coach, finally made the decision.

Regarding this meeting of the coaching staff, Gao Qiang also felt that everyone made the right suggestions and decisions, and in the end he finally smiled.

Because before this game, everyone's thoughts were still limited to "training" and ignored many things about team building.

For example, the most important "team spirit" of a team!

The team spirit is like Zanetti to Inter Milan, Maldini to AC Milan, Totti to Roma...

Maybe they are getting older in the team and their strength is gradually weakening, but their presence in the team is indispensable.

Coach Gao Qiang finally figured it out. It was a good idea to provide the national team with eleven football talents, but in the end it was not that realistic.

If we can provide the future national team with a core player and someone who can drive the entire team to progress and develop together, then the mission of the National Youth Team can be considered completed.
Chapter completed!
