Not long ago, the two teams of the Chinese men's football team national football team and the U23 national football team gathered in Haikou to train, the two sides also met a warm-up match, although the national football team won 2-0, but according to the informed media, the U23 national football team performed well, facing the big brother is not afraid of the stage. After the end of the warm-up match, the two sides took the opportunity to the United Arab Emirates, the national football team participated in 2 world preliminary matches, and the U23 national football team was out of the Dubai Cup, from the importance of the game, the top 12 tournament is the top event in Asia, certainly stronger than the Dubai Cup, but considering the failure of the national football team, and the U23 national football team symbolizes the future of the Chinese men's football team, so it is particularly critical.
Not only that, according to the schedule, the U23 national football team first appeared in the March competition to warm up for the match between the national football team and Saudi Arabia. This is the U23 national football team debuted on the international field, is a new start, the first game is against the United Arab Emirates, the beginning of the host, for the national Olympic Games to win is not small, but the outside world does not have too many requirements for the team, on the one hand, due to the first appearance, so the outside world does not know much about this team, how the strength can only be seen through the game; on the other hand, the coaching staff is also very low-key, there is no clear external performance goals, more or training team.
After the start of the game, the U23 national football team did not be conservative because of the away battle, opened the frame with the UAE team to fight in the midfield, the young players' physical confrontation is more, the U23 national football team does not suffer losses, but the technical aspect still needs to be improved, in the 30th minute, the UAE team won the corner, the UAE player jumped in the middle of the volley to shoot the unmatched part, the ball came to the feet of Hamis, the latter swept the hand, the UAE led 1-0.
In the second half, the U23 national football team counterattacked and created a scoring opportunity, Chen Guokang failed to seize the golden opportunity, and finally the U23 national football team regrettably lost. Although the first round of defeat, but the performance of the U23 national football team is still acceptable, especially the 22-year-old Han Jiaqi, in the first half of the high resistance, many times made a god save, can be selected for the national football team is also deserved.
Compared with the national football team, although the U23 national football team is also losing, but at least it still makes the outside world see hope, the tactics of head coach Jankovic are still very targeted, and the strength of the U23 national football team is also good, after all, there has been no game for more than 2 years, and the U23 Asian Cup has been abandoned before. Of course, the tolerance of the outside world is on the one hand, and the U23 national football team must also see its own shortcomings, especially the technical level, and there is a lot of room for improvement. According to the schedule, the opponent in the next game is Thailand, hoping that the U23 national football team will usher in the first victory.
