From the beginning of 2020, after the four rounds of the top 40 matches of the national football team were postponed due to the general environment, in addition to the appearance of the national football team in the World Preliminary Round, the national teams at all levels of the men's football team, including the U23 national football team and the national Olympic Team (01 age group), could not appear in international competitions. However, in the second round of the Dubai Cup, the performance of the U23 national football team is eye-catching, compared with the national football team in the last 4 rounds of the top 40 matches, the performance of the U23 national football team and Fang Hao's fame in the fourth round of the game, or let the outside world surprise.
Due to the general environment, many Asian youth competitions have been postponed, and the U23 national football team has also withdrawn from the previous U23 Asian Cup preliminaries, resulting in the lack of access to the U23 Asian Cup. This year's Dubai Cup is also the first appearance since the U23 national football team formed. And compared with the 2-year-old national Olympic Team (01 age group, U21 national football team) can also participate in the Chinese Second Division, the U23 national football team in the past 2 and a half years, the outside world knows very little.
Although the first round of the Dubai Cup lost 0-1 to the host Uae, but also let the U23 national football team on the back of a lot of pressure, but the second round of the thai team, U23 national football team is facing a lot of pressure, to know that on June 15, 2013, the national football team in Hefei 1-5 defeat to the Thai Youth Army, in this regard, the Thai team has also become a roadblock in front of Chinese football. Coupled with the Spring Festival, the national football team lost 1-3 to Vietnam, and 2 Southeast Asian teams became a barrier that Chinese football must cross.
And the match with the Thai team, although the U23 national football team after the opening blitz, immediately by the opponent to use the world wave equalizer, but then Fang Hao has divine help, coupled with the opponent defender's continuous oolong assist, in the first half of the game, Fang Hao staged a hat trick, and completed the senior favorite play in the second half.
The 22-year-old Fang Hao is from Luneng Youth Training, who has been selected all the way to the National Junior League and National Youth League, has previously appeared in competitions including the FA Cup, The Chinese First Division, the Chinese Super League, once went to Belgium standard Liege for trial training, and was loaned by Shandong Taishan to Inner Mongolia Zhongyou and Wuhan. Although he has scored goals in the professional league, this time the big four joys of the match with thailand are undoubtedly a famous match for Fang Hao.
Of course, what is more critical is that compared with the national football team that previously abused the Maldives and Guam in the top 40 matches, in the face of the rising two southeast Asian powers, the U23 national football team's 4-2 victory over Thailand is obviously more exciting for Chinese football. Moreover, after the national football team lost 1-3 to Vietnam during the Spring Festival, the U23 national football team won Thailand 4-2, which also allowed Chinese football to temporarily get rid of the outside world's doubts.
