On March 26, Beijing time, the second round of the Dubai Cup, U23 national football team vs Thailand U23. In this game, the young players of the U23 national football team began at the peak, and it took only 33 minutes in the first half for Fang Hao, a young player from Taishan, Shandong, to stage a hat-trick. At the end of the first half, it led Thailand U23 3-1, kicking out the long-lost momentum of the Chinese men's football team, a bit of revenge for the national football team's 1-5 defeat in 2013.
Let's take a look back at the four goals scored in the first half. The first Fang Hao single knife ball calmly hit the near corner to win, and the second Thai player Paso World Wave scored. The third Thai player made a mistake and passed the ball to Fang Hao, who took the ball and calmly shook off the defender and shot hard. The fourth U23 national football team opened a corner, and the ball came to Fang Hao's feet in the melee, and Fang Hao catapulted the ball to complete the hat-trick.
After a short intermission, the two sides fought again. The U23 national football team made personnel adjustments, with midfielders Sun Qinghan, Land and defender Xu Haofeng coming on as a substitute. Obviously, although the U23 national football team led 3-1 in the first half, Jankovic was still not satisfied with the performance of the players in the middle of the field.
Back in the second half, the young players of the U23 national football team, as if they did not feel tired, were still working the field. As if the game had just begun, that spirit was worth learning from all homegrown players. In the 55th minute of the game, Jankovic made another substitution adjustment, Liu Zhurun replaced Tao Qianglong. In the 60th minute of the game, Xu Haofeng was passed, and even the crawling belt rolled to grab the ball, and finally the back tackle foul.
Some people think that this ball Xu Haofeng is a bit reckless. However, I personally believe that the current Chinese football needs this spirit of never giving up. In the 66th minute of the game, the U23 national football team finally ushered in the fourth goal, this time it was still Fang Hao. He started quickly with his explosive power, burst into a single knife with the ball, and calmly pushed in front of the attacking goalkeeper to complete the big four joys and help the national football team lead Thailand U23 4-1.
Subsequently, Fang Hao appeared "injured" and was pulled out of the stadium by stretcher car (there may be some minor strains that are not serious). Then, he was replaced by Zhang Jiansheng. Although Fang Hao failed to play the whole game in this game, the stage of the big four joys was definitely a shame for the national football team. Hopefully, the next match between the national football team and Oman can also play such a spirit as the U23 national football team.
