Recently, the Chinese U17 national youth team has become the focus of Attention in Chinese football. In a recent intensive training session, the U17 national youth generals shaved their heads collectively, and it was reported that this was the prelude to the team's "rectification" and "troop-oriented" management. However, what is unexpected is that U17 Guoqing's "cutting ambition" has made himself a joke in Asian football.
A number of Vietnamese media have reported the news of the U17 national youth "shaving", "Hanoi News" said: "All the players of the Chinese U17 national youth have been shaved almost overnight, it is said that this is the request of head coach Yang Chen, who wants all players to have steel discipline." But others believe that shaving your head is just a form that doesn't help improve your skills. However, some commentators said that at least Chinese football has changed from the beginning of the "head". ”
Compared with the restraint of the Vietnamese media in reporting, Vietnamese fans completely regard the Chinese U17 as a joke. Some fans left a message under the report: "It may also be that Chinese players are worried about being criticized by fans all day, so their hair has fallen out." Some fans even said bluntly: "European and South American players are playing by their minds and bodies, while Chinese players seem to be playing on their own butts." ”
In addition to the Vietnamese media, Japanese and South Korean media also reported on the U17 National Youth. Among them, South Korean media "MK" said: "The Chinese U17 national youth team collectively shaved their short hair, which is said to be due to the recent poor performance of Chinese football and the rectification behavior, but it looks like Shaolin football." So, can shaving your hair short improve your soccer skills? The rhetoric was full of disdain.
According to industry insiders, this year's U17 national youth team, which can be described as a group of elite players who have gathered the Chinese men's football team in this age group, has been optimistic about the outside world and is also regarded as the hope for future Chinese football. Under the leadership of head coach Yang Chen, the first "battle" of this year's U17 national youth collection is a collective shaving of the head, I don't know if it can improve the mental outlook of the players as desired? We'll have to wait and see
