Beijing time on March 24, the first round of the Dubai Cup all ended, China's U23 team lost the first battle, 0-1 lost to the UAE team, throughout the game, the Chinese lads are full of attitude, technology can only fail, because the whole game, U23 national football team is almost suppressed by the opponent, in addition to hard work, the technical level is very general.
We must admit 4 points of truth, the first is the First U23 National Football Team in the Dubai Cup in the past 2 and a half years to participate in the first major competition, the second is that the U23 National Football Team still has a number of main players have not participated, the third is that the UAE's youth training has made great progress in recent years, their strength is not bad, and the last point: China's young generation is really poor.
Putting aside the fact that the UAE youth training is strong, we look at several of our own drawbacks, in fact, we all point to a point, that is, the Chinese football youth training is very bad, and in order to make up for the fact that the youth training is bad, the Football Association has promoted the U23 policy since 2017, but it has been a full 5 years, and the young generation in China is still unable to support the wall.
2018 Asian Youth Championship, group out, 2020 Asian Youth Championship qualifier was eliminated, 2018 U23 Asian Cup, group out, 2020 U23 Asian Cup, 3 consecutive defeats group out, also missed the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, 2022 U23 Asian Cup, because of the epidemic to give up the qualifiers directly abstained, and the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, stopped in the round of 16.
What is the purpose of the implementation of the U23 policy? At that time, as soon as it came out, it was complained about by the whole network, and in order for young players to have more opportunities to play in the league and think about the future of Chinese football, then why not directly engage in a U21? The real purpose of the U23 policy is not for the performance of the leadership of the Football Association, for the Asian Games, for the Olympic Games.
It can be seen that the original intention of the U23 policy is bad, not for the sake of Chinese football youth training, but for the sake of the top level of the Football Association for its own wusha hat. It is even said that this policy has also increased the utilitarian heart of young players, who are less than 23 years old, and actually get millions of annual salaries, so that jinyuan football is eroded and corrupted.
Of course, we can't deny that this policy does have some effect, but the Chinese Super League is really too poor quality, coupled with the implementation of policies by clubs, overall, the U23 policy is useless.
