The last 2 matches of the Chinese men's football team in this World Cup qualifier are about to start in West Asia, although the game time has been announced, but many fans have said that these 2 games have no life and death, and the interest in paying attention to the game has also been greatly reduced. China's men's football team is currently in a trough period, and all levels of national teams are facing many difficulties, and now, the Oriental Sports Daily has revealed that the U21 national football team is very likely to be classified into low-grade teams in the next Olympic Qualifiers!
As we all know, Cheng Yaodong has been undertaking the task of qualifying for the final stage of the next Olympic Games, and the Football Association has also given him enough space and discourse. In the past two consecutive years of the Chinese Second League, Cheng Yaodong has led this national youth team to participate in the Chinese Second League in a wave of opposition. Nowadays, Cheng Yaodong has proposed to let the U21 national football team participate in this year's Chinese League A, with the participation of foreign aid, Cheng Yaodong believes that this will give this next Olympic age team greater training value!
However, playing in the Chinese First Division may directly affect the health and normal operation of the League A, and even affect the enthusiasm of other clubs that are not high, which also makes the Football Association very embarrassed, and has not yet made a final choice. "Oriental Sports Daily" is currently writing that this is actually Cheng Yaodong's helpless move. Because the Chinese team voluntarily gave up the last U23 Asian Cup under the epidemic, this also led to a sharp decline in the ranking of the Chinese team, affecting the paris Olympic Games!
The media said bluntly that the U21 national football team in the existing situation, the high probability of being divided into low-grade teams, which means that the Chinese team wants to enter the final stage of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, must start from scratch, and the current development of other youth teams in Asian football is extremely fast, including Thailand, Vietnam and other former fish belly teams are rapidly rising, the Chinese Olympic team wants to break through from it is extremely difficult, which also leads to Cheng Yaodong facing huge performance pressure!
Obviously, the pressure of Cheng Yaodong is understandable, but the practice of sacrificing the league is not a fundamental measure, and the Football Association should reflect on the reasons for the passive situation of the existing national Olympic team, as well as the organization of the youth training and even the U19 and U21 leagues! I have to say that we expect Cheng Yaodong's team to learn the lessons of the previous national football team, long-term training and sacrifice of the league can not bring results, only rooted in the scientific laws of football, in order to get results!
