Let's talk about the World Youth Championship for the first time today: Uruguay U20 vs Israel U20!
Uruguay comfortably beat the United States in their last match, showcasing the strength of last year's South American champions.
However, this also costs them a heavy injury, and their combat effectiveness may decline as a result.
Uruguay's Ferrari and Albardo left the team with serious injuries before the U.S. game, so they took two jerseys for their pre-match photo.
After playing in the United States, with Ponte's injury, they are now missing four main players with injuries.
Xiaojiu listed the information of these 4 people, all of whom are starters, and their abilities are not bad:
In their absence, Uruguay face not only a reduction in the quality of the squad, but also a lack of substitutes.
They now have a total of 14 outfielders left, which means they can only change up to four without changing the goalkeeper.
Moreover, these 4 people are not necessarily what the head coach wants to change, and their abilities are not necessarily up to standard.
Very simple truth, all injured 4 absolute main players, these 4 people can still only play substitutes, the strength is generally the last in the team.
It may not be easy to face Israel in this state.
Although Israel ranks 78 in the world, it is lower than Oman and about the same as the national football team.
Therefore, FIFA may not have considered the possibility of Israel participating in the World Youth Championships, otherwise it is unlikely that Indonesia will host the World Youth Championships.
But this edition of the Israel U20 may be the strongest in their history.
They actually reached the final of the European Youth Championship last year and qualified for the World Youth Championship, and then Indonesia really did what happened, and FIFA had to temporarily change the host country.
Is it just luck that Israel can win the runner-up of the European Youth Championship? Not necessarily.
This Israeli player has a very strong individual ability, you see their last game against Brazil, they all say that the Brazilian players have good skills at their feet and samba dancing gorgeously? But they became the ones who were shown, which shows that the level of Israeli players is not so bad.
At first, Israel played so badly, mainly because of the lack of running-in.
Because it was held in Indonesia before, they didn't plan to participate, so they didn't play a warm-up game for a year.
But after a few kicks, they got better and better, and their condition also came out.
Kicking two penalties knocks out Brazil... It's terrifying to think about.
Then, let's talk about a certain level of the topic.
When Uruguay played England, the director's attitude was the same.
When England played Israel in the European Youth Final last July, that attitude was heavenly.
As a result, Uruguay, which is on an equal footing with England, plays Israel on this point? It's not strong.
On the whole, in the absence of four main players in Uruguay, can the dark horse of Israel satisfy the fans, what do you think? Xiaojiu will expect them to be at least undefeated!
Well, for today's other games, Xiaojiu will still send you a text analysis in the evening. If there is anything unclear, you can ask me, "Look at the ball and see it", we will not disperse!
If you like it, move your fingers, follow and like!
