In the first battle against South Korea, Li Chenglong led the team to defeat the opponent 3:2 with a hat-trick and successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the World Youth Championship.

This game also created many records.

First of all, this is the third time in England's history that they have reached the semi-finals of the World Youth Championship.

Secondly, after this game, Jackie Lee has scored 9 goals in the World Youth Championship, which is the third record in the history of the World Youth Championship.

Only Brazilian striker Adelton, who scored 10 goals in the 1997 World Youth Championship in Malaysia, and Argentine striker Saviola, who scored 11 goals in the 2001 Argentina World Youth Championship.

Now that England has entered the semi-finals, Jackie Lee still has two games to play, and he has a great chance to equalize or even overtake those two and set a new record.

Finally, Jackie Chan has completed two hat-tricks in this World Youth Championship, which also tied the record for the number of hat-tricks in a single World Youth Championship.

In the 1979 World Youth Championships in Japan, Maradona led Argentina to win the first World Youth Championship in team history. Maradona was also successfully elected as the World Youth Championship Golden Globe Award that year, but the Argentine team scored in that year. The most is striker Ramon Diaz.

Diaz scored hat-tricks in both the 5-0 victory over Indonesia in the group stage and the 5-0 victory over Algeria in the quarter-finals, becoming the first player to complete two hat-tricks at the World Youth Championship.

It is worth mentioning that Diaz scored a total of 8 goals in that World Youth Championship, which was the third most goals scored in a single World Youth Championship before, but now he has been surpassed by Lee Chenglong with 9 goals.

In the 2001 Argentine World Youth Championship, the super genius in Argentina at that time, Rabbit Saviola, known as the "New Maradona", not only scored 11 goals in 7 games, but also scored 7:1 in the Argentine group match. Hat-tricks were completed in the victory over Egypt and the 3:1 elimination of France in the quarter-finals.

Both of these are World Youth Championship records that have been maintained until now.

In the previous World Youth Championships, only these two Argentines completed two hat-tricks in a single game. Now Lee Chenglong is the third and the first in European football.

As for the Brazilian Adelton, who scored 10 goals in a single session, most of his goals were made.

In the Malaysia World Youth Championship, in Brazil's 10:3 victory over South Korea in the group stage, Adalton scored 6 goals in a single game, but he only scored 10 goals in the end, and Brazil was defeated in the quarterfinals. The old enemy Argentina was eliminated 2:0, and the results were not ideal.

Today, Jackie Chan has tied the record of two hat-tricks, and the next step is to attack the record of 11 goals in a single session.

Moreover, in this year's World Youth Championship in Turkey, no one else has completed a hat-trick. Only Li Chenglong has come twice by himself, which is worthy of his status as the number one star.

England eliminated South Korea to enter the semi-finals, and the other three games of the quarter-finals of the World Youth Championship have also been carried out one after another.

France's 4-0 thrashing of Uzbekistan was a predictable game.

In addition to losing a game to Spain in the group stage, the French team was squeezed to the second place in the group. After entering the knockout round, they beat Turkey and Uzbekistan successively. It seems that they are full of champions.

The match between Iraq and Ghana was considered a pecking game. The two sides drew 2:2. Iraq won the penalty shootout and successfully advanced.

In any case, the Iraqis made their own history, reaching the semi-finals of the World Youth Championship for the first time.

And then they will continue to hit the Asian record to see if they can reach the final.

Asian teams including Japan and Qatar had reached the final of the World Youth Championship before, but they all suffered a 0:4 defeat in the final. Japan lost to Spain and Qatar lost to Germany.

In the final match between Spain and Uruguay, this is a focus match. Before the start of the match, Spain was the number one favorite, and Uruguay was also the fifth favorite.

Uruguay beat Spain 1-0 in overtime.

Got the final four places.

It seems that Spain, which has the strongest overall lineup, is out, which is good news for England.

So far, the situation of the semi-finals of this World Youth Championship has come out completely. England played against Uruguay, and France played against Iraq.

Since the four teams in the semi-finals are all teams that have never won the World Youth Championship, there will definitely be a new champion in this year's World Youth Championship.

Among the four teams, Uruguay is the only team that has reached the final, and the other three teams have not even entered the final before.

In terms of scoring statistics, except for Jackie Lee, other players with more goals, such as Jesse and Bruma, are out. Therefore, Jackie Lee, who has scored 9 goals so far, is basically guaranteed to win the World Youth Championship Golden Boot. .

On July 10, the whole England team came to Trabzon in the northeast of Turkey, where they will play the semi-final against Uruguay.

The semi-final was held at the Hussein Avni Stadium, home of local team Trabzonspor.

Speaking of which, when Jackie Chan was still playing in Scotland, Dundee United faced Trabzonspor in the UEFA Europa League qualifiers, but after the first round of the game, Trabzonspor temporarily lost I made it up to play in the Champions League, so the second round was canceled directly.

Now that it is the semi-final stage, there are still quite a lot of fans watching the game, especially with the well-known star Lee Jackie Chan participating, so the Hussein Afni Stadium with a capacity of only 25,000 has been completely filled.

England's game also played very smoothly.

This Uruguayan team is mainly defensive. The most famous player in their team is the talented defender Jose Jimenez. He has already confirmed his transfer to the La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid.

Playing all the way from the group stage, Uruguay has always relied on defense to win, and there is no big victory.

In the first ten minutes or so of the game, both teams played conservatively. After all, this is the semi-final.

But in the 19th minute, Ross Barkley's long-range shot created a corner.

In the corner kick attack, Harry Kane took Jimenez away through a running position, so Li Chenglong overwhelmed the opponent's other central defender Gaston Silva in the penalty area to take off, successfully grabbed the first landing point, and completed the header Goal.

The ball was pushed towards the lower right corner of the goal, and after a small bounce in front of the goal, it flew into the goal.

"Bruce~~Super Bruce!! This is his 10th goal. His goal is in double figures. He is continuing to hit the record!!" The England commentator shouted excitedly.

Conceding the ball early puts the defense-oriented Uruguay in a dilemma.

However, the two teams maintained the status quo in the first half, because the Uruguayans felt that there was enough time for the game and did not rush to counterattack.

But after playing for a while in the second half, Uruguay began to move around and couldn't help it.

England is naturally stable here, focusing on quick counterattacks.

In the 74th minute, in England's counter attack, Kane sent a through ball, and Lee Chenglong inserted the ball in the back row and got a single chance.

Facing the goalkeeper single-handedly, Li Chenglong volleyed from a close angle after a calm feint and scored twice.

"The 11th ball!! Bruce's 11th ball!!"

"Bruce Lee has already tied the scoring record in a single World Youth Championship. He is Super Bruce! He is King Bruce!!"

After Jackie Lee scored a goal, the fans at the Hussein Afni Stadium stood up and applauded Jackie Lee collectively. This is the moment to witness the record.

After these two goals, England began to slow down, and Uruguay failed to cause too much trouble, so the score of 2:0 was kept to the end.
