The national football team coached by Li Xiaopeng is about to play in the round of 12 again, but the domestic media and fans are generally not very optimistic about their prospects, and even have not paid much attention to them, mainly because they have no desire to play and their spirit on the field before. Compared with the national football team that has no desire and disappointing, the performance of the U23 national football team that is about to compete in the Dubai Cup is eye-catching. In an international warm-up match on the 20th, the U23 national football team actually drew 1-1 with the UAE League powerhouse Wahda. And, at the last minute, it was even almost killed.
According to the Dubai Cup schedule, the U23 national football team will face the host UAE U23 team and the Thailand U23 team on the 23rd and 27th respectively. In order to hone the team and further find the feeling of the game, the U23 national football team arrived in the UAE and urgently contacted a club team to warm up, which is currently the second largest team in the UAE's domestic league. Despite the departure of the Asian international in the team, the South American foreign aid and other main players in the Wakhda team are in the team, so the strength is still not weak, at least compared to the U23 national football team is significantly stronger.
Against Wahda, the U23 national football team is completely viewed as an official match. In this battle, the U23 national football team discharged a 4231 formation, of which goalkeeper Han Jiaqi, defenders Wen Xiaojun, Wu Shaocong, Jiang Shenglong, Ye Lijiang, double back land and Xu Yue, frontcourt Chen Guokang, Tao Qianglong, He Yupeng, Fang Hao alone burst forward.
Perhaps due to the time difference in the arrival of the UAE and the away game, the U23 national football team showed some restraint after the start of the first half. In the 15th minute, the U23 national football team fouled in the penalty area and gave the opponent a penalty opportunity. Opposing foreign aid Martins took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field.
At the beginning of the second half, the U23 national football team made a substitution, and Liu Zhurun came on to replace Tao Qianglong. Just 2 minutes later, the Chinese team crossed from the side, Fang Hao missed it, and Liu Zhurun, who was unguarded at the back point, deflected the ball off goalkeeper. In the 60th minute, Fang Hao pulled to the left side, with the ball consecutively broke through the opponent's 3 people to cut the goal, the result was hit on the goalpost to pop up, Chen Guo resisted the alert to break the goal, and finally tied the score. Before the final, the U23 national football team broke through the cross on the right side, and Cai Mingmin wrapped the shot in the middle of the road, only to be saved by the opposing goalkeeper Shen Yong and missed the opportunity to kill.
It can be seen that the U23 national football team can draw with the opponent is not luck, but a full embodiment of strength. Compared with the result, what is more gratifying about this game is the process, because they are not impatient and do not give up when they are behind, and after the equalizer until the end of the final game, they are still attacking continuously, and such spirit and desire to play are undoubtedly what fans are willing to see.
It is not surprising why in the last warm-up game in China, although the U23 national football team lost to the national football team 0-2, it once controlled the situation in the game and embarrassed the big brother of the national football team. Also fighting in the UAE, U23 brother has "proofed" for the national football big brother.
