This victory has also greatly boosted the confidence and morale of Chinese football.
In this match, the starting lineup of the U23 national football team is goalkeeper Peng Peng, defenders Wen Jiabao, Wu Shaocong, Huang Jiahui and Ye Lijiang, midfielders Xu Yue, Cai Mingmin, Tao Qianglong and He Yupeng, and the forwards are Chen Guokang and Fang Hao. This set of starts has changed from the previous game, there are 4 changes in the center-back, right-back, back and front, in addition, Fang Hao has also changed from the left forward of the previous game to the position of the forward, and it is precisely this change that has allowed the Chinese team to usher in a victory.
The U23 national football team took the lead just 7 minutes after the opening, the Thai defender made a mistake, and Fang Hao calmly scored after a one-handed breakthrough. But three minutes later, Thailand took advantage of a mistake by the U23 national football midfielder and equalized with a world wave. Subsequently, the Thai team gradually controlled the situation on the field with skillful passing, and the U23 national football team once fell into passivity.
Fortunately, in the 31st minute, the Thai team made another mistake, and the ball ghost sent the god to the feet of Fang Hao in the penalty area, this time Fang Hao still used a calm slam ball to swing past the opposing defender, and then easily broke the goal.
Three minutes later, U23 national football corner kick, Thailand team not far away, Fang Hao in the penalty area to shoot the goal. In just 34 minutes, Fang Hao staged a hat-trick, and his excellent performance also allowed the U23 national football team to lock in the victory of this game.

In stoppage time, Thailand's U23 pulled a goal back, and the U23 national football team finally beat Thailand's U23 with a score of 4-2.
As far as this game is concerned, we can still clearly see that the Thai U23 players are still very skilled at their feet, and they often play excellent cooperation at a certain time, in this regard, the U23 national football team has a certain gap with the Thai U23 in terms of pass control, and the final possession rate of the Thailand U23 is also higher than the U23 national football team.
But in the game, the U23 national football team has performed very well in terms of morale, physical fitness and tactics, first of all, the U23 national football team has been very hard fighting in the warm-up match against the UAE Wahdah and the First Round of the Dubai Cup against the UAE U23, which also ensures the quality of the defense, and also creates many opportunities for the U23 national football team to counterattack.
In addition, the U23 national football team in the defensive is not retreating, but to take the tactics of on-the-spot counter-grab, this kind of high-level pressing tactics have very high physical requirements, it is gratifying that the lads of the U23 national football team have done it, although in the middle of the U23 national football team has also completed several rotations of personnel, but the entire game U23 national football tactics are very well executed.
In fact, Fang Hao scored 4 goals, at least the first two are completely the opportunity formed by the U23 national football team high pressing, the last two goals are also related to the panic of the Thai defenders, which is also due to the pressure exerted on them by the continuous high pressing of the U23 national football team.
In addition, even if it is a position defense, when changing from defense to attack, the U23 national football team can also play some good cooperation, which is also related to the team's daily drills.
This game of the U23 national football team actually gave Chinese football an enlightenment: the national teams at all levels, including the Chinese national team, may not be too competitive in Asia for a long time in the future, but the gap in strength is not a reason to lie flat - more tenacious will, better physical fitness, more appropriate tactics, can largely make up for the gap in strength, the national football team 1-1 draw with Saudi Arabia is like this, U23 national football team 4-2 victory over Thailand U23 is also the same.
Today, when Chinese football has fallen into a trough and encountered thousands of fingers, these two games have also boosted the confidence of Chinese football to a large extent, and have also changed the public opinion environment outside Chinese football to a certain extent, and the change of public opinion environment is very important for the development of Chinese football.
Of course, on the 29th, the national football team will also play against Oman in the final battle of the round of 12, and the U23 national team will also participate in the qualifying match of the final round of the Dubai Cup, which is also crucial. As we have said before, consistently persevering in the struggle is the best effort that international footballers can do at the moment.
