Beiqing: The national youth coaching staff has a headache without a high-quality warm-up, hoping that the team will compete in the middle division in the new season

According to the Beijing Youth Daily, the U21 national youth coaching staff still has a headache that the team does not have a high-level warm-up match, and they hope that the team can participate in the Chinese League One.

U21 national football team yesterday announced a new training list, will be launched on February 10 the first training in the Year of the Tiger, in fact, the Chinese Football Association in 2017 began to launch the 2001 age group in preparation for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, but the team in the 2019 Asian Youth Championship qualifiers, resulting in the team in 26 years for the first time in the Asian Youth Championship, such a poor record on the team's "Olympic strategy" and the age of the individual players caused a heavy blow.

The Chinese Football Association is still trying to build this Olympic age-appropriate team, although the past two years can not implement high-quality international warm-up matches, but the team has participated in the Chinese Second League for two consecutive seasons, it is understood that the training list of Cheng Yaodong coaching team retains the main team of last season's competition in the Chinese Second Division, and also supplemented the recruitment of some of the "good seedlings" that emerged from last season's Chinese Super League, Chinese First Division and last year's National Games.

Beijing Youth Daily said that the U21 national youth coaching team hopes that the team will compete in the professional league as in the past two years, and even hopes that the team can participate in the Chinese League One. However, since the players come from clubs at all levels, and some players have already played the main role in the club, how to balance the team's preparation and the interests of the club team needs to sit down and communicate well.

To be sure, if U21 national youth cannot participate in domestic professional sequence events and is affected by the epidemic and has no access to international warm-up, it will be very unfavorable to their next preparation. And compared with other Asian teams in the same age group, China's U21 has fallen behind at the starting line, which deserves the attention of the Football Association.
