Time passed quickly and it was time for the competition.

After the opening ceremony of both teams, the game is about to begin.

At this time, the big screen at Al-Khoor Stadium showed the lineups of both teams in the final that night.

Ukraine U20 starting lineup:

Formation:433

Forwards: Sitishvili, Kashchuk, Supriyaha

Midfielder: Bressa, Maxim, Khakhlov

Defenders: Safronov, Kloplia, Denis, Bondar

Goalkeeper:Lu Ning

As soon as the Ukrainian team's starting lineup appeared, it immediately triggered screams from the fans in the audience.

Because today's Ukrainian team's starting lineup is a complete replica of the winning lineup of the last World Youth Championship.

Among them, four players including Bresa, Kloplia, Bondar and Lunin of the Ukrainian team were selected as the best eleven team of the last World Youth Championship.

Therefore, as soon as the Ukrainian team's championship lineup appeared, they won the cheers of all the fans present.

Immediately afterwards, there is the starting list of the Chinese team.

China National Team U20 starting lineup:

Formation:4231

Forward: Li Xing

Midfielder: Qin Yin, Shen Xiao (C), Wen Shuai

Yao Qin,Tan Lang

Defenders: Zhou Jun, Fu Yongqiao, Deng Li, Li Jun

Goalkeeper: Huang Jian

When the starting lineup of the Chinese national team also appeared on the big screen, the fans also gave warm applause.

Because, I have to say, this time the Chinese U20 team is completely a dark horse.

No one could have imagined that the Chinese team, which had a poor historical record, could actually reach the finals of the World Youth Championship!

The head coach Gao Qiang off the court was feeling excited and nervous at the same time.

What comforted Coach Gao Qiang most about this game was that Li Xing, Wen Shuai and Geng Changan returned from injury.

Therefore, in this finals, coach Gao Qiang firmly selected the Chinese team's main starting lineup in the group stage.

On the court, Shen Xiao and Lu Ning, as captains of both teams, shook hands and laughed again.

After both teams had chosen sides and their respective players stood in their positions, the referee put the whistle in his mouth and looked at the watch in his hand.

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle to start the game.

The World Youth Championship finals between the Chinese team and the Ukrainian team has officially begun!

The game started with the Chinese team kicking off. After Li Xing kicked the ball in front, he passed it directly to Shen Xiao behind him.

After Shen Xiao took the ball, Li Xing, Wen Shuai and Qin Yin began to run forward.

Shen Xiao, who was dribbling forward with the ball at the moment, had no intention of launching a large-scale attack on the Ukrainian team.

Because Shen Xiao feels that this world youth championship finals, which is attracting worldwide attention, should be a "show-time" moment for the entire Chinese team, not just Shen Xiao's solo time.

In addition, the current goalkeeper of the opposing team, Lu Ning, is still a teammate of his own club!

Therefore, Shen Xiao decided that there was still a lot of time for the game. Although he currently had enough strength to "kill" the game in advance, Shen Xiao still felt that it would be better to wait and see.

Competitions are fun to watch if they are full of drama!

Shen Xiao made up his mind at this moment, so he slowly passed the ball to Wen Shuai on the wing.

Because Shen Xiao feels that Wen Shuai, who has just returned from injury, needs more opportunities to get the ball as a breakthrough player on the wing.

Wen Shuai received Shen Xiao's pass and immediately rushed forward from his right wing.

At this moment, seeing Wen Shuai coming, Sitishvili and Bresa from the Ukrainian team immediately ran towards him.

Sitishvili and Bresa flanked Wen Shuai on the left and right.

The two members of the Ukrainian team are worthy of being the best team members in the last world championship. Their defense caused a great obstacle to Wen Shuai.

In addition, Wen Shuai had just returned from injury, and his body was still gradually adapting to the rhythm of the game, so after a while, the ball at Wen Shuai's feet was intercepted by Ukraine midfielder Bresa.

After receiving the ball, Bresa quickly dribbled the ball forward, and Sitishvili, as the left winger, immediately ran towards the backcourt of the Chinese team.

After a while, Bresa saw Siteshvili, who had opened a "crack" in the Chinese team's defense, and he quickly passed the football at his feet.

Bresa made an exquisite through ball and passed it directly to the feet of Sitishvili in front.

Sitishvili didn't stop after getting the ball, and immediately dribbled the ball towards the Chinese team's penalty area.

Upon seeing this, several defensive players such as Tan Lang, Deng Li and Li Jun rushed towards Siteshvili to intercept.

Seeing several Chinese players coming to defend him, Sitishvili raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

I saw him immediately dribbling the ball forward, swaying left and right, and passed Tan Lang and Deng Li.

After a while, Sitishvili successfully brought the football to the line of the penalty area.

As a central defender, Fu Yongqiao saw this and shouted something bad in his heart. He hurriedly blocked the direction of Sitishvili.

The moment Fu Yongqiao arrived, Siteshvili quickly turned sideways and passed Fu Yongqiao with a horizontal pull.

In the next second, Siteshvili no longer hesitated, he immediately kicked the football at his feet!

The football drew an arc in an instant and flew quickly towards the goal.

At this moment, Siteshvili hit a ZD kick!

It is very difficult for the goalkeeper to defend this kind of shot!

At this time, although goalkeeper Huang Jian flew sideways hard, the football still flew into the net.

The ball went in!

The referee blew the whistle for the goal.

Shortly after the start of the first half, Ukraine's left winger Sitishvili scored the first goal.

At this time, the Chinese team was temporarily trailing the Ukrainian team 0:1.

After scoring the goal, Siteshvili excitedly skated towards the side of the court and knelt down to celebrate!

In the stands of the stadium, Ukrainian fans cheered loudly with joy.

The players of the Ukrainian team immediately ran to Sitishvili, the hero of the goal, and then hugged him wildly.

After a while, Siteshvili kept waving his arms to show his muscle strength.

When returning to his team's half, Sitishvili passed by Shen Xiao. He looked at Shen Xiao, who was standing there blankly, with a joking look.

"Haha, that's it? That's it... tsk tsk tsk!"

"Is this the Chinese team that has a high reputation for winning the championship?"

"Is this the football genius Shen Xiao who is extremely powerful?"

"That's it...hahahahaha!"

Siteshvili glanced at Shen Xiao with disdain, then slowly laughed and left.

After watching Siteshvili "perform" in front of him, Shen Xiao rubbed his nose with his fingers, and then blinked gently.

After a while, Shen Xiao slowly turned around and looked at the goal of the Ukrainian team on the opposite side.

"Haha, this kid talks quite funny..."

"It seems that I have to show some strength, otherwise it will not be a big deal if I am ridiculed like this!"

"Brother Lu Ning may be embarrassed..."

"You may lose the Golden Glove Award at this World Youth Championship!"
Chapter completed!
