After the game, Li Long participated in the post-match press conference.

Many reporters at the scene were ready to go, and they all wanted to ask Li Long.

Because this year's Panda Cup is somewhat different from the past.

Because this time in the Panda Cup, the opponents are very strong.

Compared with previous sessions, the quality has improved a lot, which makes the outside world wonder why such changes were made.

And ironically, the Huaxia National Youth Team lost this game.

"Hello Coach Li Long! It's a pity that the Huaxia National Youth Team lost this game." A Huaxia reporter said.

"The outside world is very curious about this Panda Cup, because the strength of the opponents in this Panda Cup has improved a lot compared with the past. I would like to ask Coach Li Long, are you not worried about poor results?" the reporter asked. .

"I believe that when the Panda Cup was first established, the purpose was not for performance." Li Long replied calmly.

"The Panda Cup is a platform for domestic young players to play against foreign teams."

"So the opponent should be a stronger opponent, which is more conducive to the growth of the players."

"As for the grades, I said a long time ago that grades are not that important." Li Long expressed his opinion.

"The Huaxia National Youth Team was very passive in this game. Does that mean that the 99-year-old is no longer as dominant as the 97-year-old." Another reporter asked.

"It can't be said that. First of all, several main players have not been recruited." Li Long replied.

"And there are still several players with very high potential, and there are even players who have the potential to play for European giants."

Perhaps because of the reporter's questioning, Li Long made another calf.

"Li Mingchao scored twice in this game. It is obvious that he has improved rapidly. He is also the best Chinese player in this game. Can you comment on Li Mingchao?" another reporter asked curiously. asked.

"If you say it's the best performance, in fact, many players performed very well." Li Long retorted.

"For example, goalkeeper Xia Bin made several saves in this game and was very successful. Although central defender Lin Tianjun is young, he performed very well on the defensive end, and even had a wonderful performance in front of the goal."

"The two goals scored by Li Mingchao were assisted by right winger Cui Dongzhen. In fact, many players performed very well."

"As for Li Mingchao's growth, it really surprised me. He has indeed grown a lot."

"Although the current Chinese Super League is full of foreign aid on the front line, I think Li Mingchao's current strength is still very good as a substitute player."

"I think the current Chinese Super League should give these young players more opportunities." Li Long replied

After Li Long answered a few more questions, the press conference ended.

Although the Huaxia National Youth Team lost this time, there were not as many accusations as expected.

Several players were even affected, mainly Cui Dongzhen and Li Mingchao.

"I remember that when Li Mingchao was in the national youth team, he didn't even have many opportunities to come off the bench. I didn't expect him to be so strong now."

"The two goals of the Huaxia National Youth Team were all assisted by Cui Dongzhen. I really look forward to his future performance in Europe."

"To be honest, with the current lineup, it is already very good to lose 2-3 to the Brazil National Youth Team."

The time came to August 4th, ushered in the second match of the Panda Cup, Li Long led the Huaxia National Youth Team to challenge the Iranian National Youth Team.

The Iranian National Youth Team is definitely the weakest team in the Panda Cup this time.

Even this Huaxia National Youth Team is stronger than the opponent.

Less than ten minutes into the game, Li Mingchao received a pass from Cui Dongzhen.

The header helped the Huaxia National Youth Team take the lead. Although Li Mingchao is 1.80 meters tall and not that tall, his bounce has 72 points, so the header is also his good offensive method.

Like the previous game, the Huaxia National Youth Team is still playing on the right.

So the Iranian National Youth Team began to focus on defending the right, but there is still a gap between them and the Brazilian National Youth Team.

Although Luo Zhe on the left is currently low in ability, he can still barely fight against the defensive players of the Iranian National Youth Team.

Luo Zhe took a rubbing shot from the left, but the quality of the shot was average.

The speed of the ball is a bit too slow, although it has an angle, it was thrown by the goalkeeper.

Li Mingchao followed up to grab the second point, and once again headed the football into the goal.

After the second half of the game, the Iranian National Youth Team was unwilling to lose.

So they began to strengthen their offense. Their opponent in the last game was the Portuguese National Youth Team.

The strength gap between the two sides was too great, and they were beaten 3-0 by the Portuguese National Youth Team.

The Iranian national youth team has no power to fight back. It can be clearly seen that the Portuguese national youth team has not exerted its strength.

However, the Iran National Youth Team, which strengthened its offense, did not cause too much trouble to the defense of the Huaxia National Youth Team.

Instead, they were counterattacked by the Huaxia National Youth Team, starting from Cui Dongzhen.

After halftime, a through ball was sent to Li Mingchao, and Li Mingchao dribbled the ball outside the penalty area.

Suddenly Cui Dongzhen slanted into the penalty area from the right, and Li Mingchao stuffed the football into the penalty area.

Then he started running without the ball. In fact, Cui Dongzhen could hit the goal directly.

But Li Mingchao had almost scored two goals, he forced the cake and passed the football to the goal.

Because the goalkeeper blocked Cui Dongzhen, Li Mingchao faced an empty goal.

Li Mingchao pushed with his right foot and pushed the football into the empty goal.

Li Mingchao completed a hat-trick! At the same time, the score was stretched to 3 to 0!

Before the end of the game, Cui Dongzhen made a strong breakthrough and scored the first goal of this Panda Cup with a small angle shot.

In the end, the Huaxia National Youth Team defeated the Iranian National Youth Team 4-0!

In another game, the Brazilian National Youth Team played against the Portuguese National Youth Team, and in the end the Brazilian National Youth Team won the final victory.

They defeated their opponents 2-1 and won two consecutive victories in the Panda Cup.

And their last opponent is the weakest Iranian national youth team.

Basically the champion belongs to the Brazilian National Youth Team. Next, the Huaxia National Youth Team and the Portuguese National Youth Team will fight for the runner-up.

After the game, several media commented.

"Before the start of the Panda Cup, many people thought that the Huaxia National Youth Team was too big. Although they lost the first game, the gap was not as big as expected, and they also showed their dominance against the strong Asian teams. , this 99-year-old national youth team is not as weak as everyone imagined."

"This time in the Panda Cup, the biggest discovery is undoubtedly Li Mingchao. His progress even surprised Coach Li Long."

"Judging from the current age group of 99, next year's Asian Youth Championship is relatively optimistic, and maybe we will usher in three consecutive Asian Youth Championships!"
