A few days ago, the 2022 Dubai Cup third place battle kicked off, following the first match, the U23 national football team once again confronted the UAE U23. In the end, the Chinese team lost to the opponent 0:3, and the loss of the ball occurred in the opening and closing stages, and the intermediate process could still see the blood and value. Although they lost the game, the team's spirit of daring to fight and go all out on the field was recognized by the fans. Through this competition, the U23 national football team has made people see the blood boiling in terms of combat effectiveness will, but there is still a long way to go at the technical and tactical execution level. In the first round of the Dubai Cup, the U23 national football team and the UAE U23 have played against each other, although the young men of the Chinese team fought until the last moment, but in the end they lost to the opponent and suffered a black opening.
In the last game, the Chinese team performed well, successfully defeating the Thai team, especially the young player Fang Hao from Taishan, Shandong, who scored four goals in one person and became a big contributor to the whole team. The record of one win and one loss in the group stage allowed the Chinese team to meet the UAE team again in the third place battle. In this game, the Chinese team did not change much in the starting lineup, and the main players such as Han Jiaqi, Huang Jiahui, Jiang Shenglong, Xu Haofeng, Xu Yue, Tao Qianglong and Sun Qinhan all appeared. Fang Hao, who finished his senior year in the last game, also appeared in the starting list, playing against Thailand, and he was injured.
Originally, this game was considered to be a match between the two sides, but did not want to open only 4 minutes, the U23 national football team was attacked by the opponent. What is even more bizarre is that this goal is because the national football team made a mistake in the penalty area, allowing the opponent to seize the opportunity to easily break the goal. Such a low-level mistake made many fans who watched the game helplessly let out a sigh. Some netizens said that at this level, the national football team is afraid that there is no hope in the next ten years, and this group of players is the top talent of the same age. In the second half of the game, the Chinese team fought against the opponent, so that many players were injured one after another. In the final moments of the game, the Chinese team bizarrely collapsed, and the opponent scored two goals in a row and lost the game.
Losing to the UAE team again has brought a lot of psychological blows to the young national football team in China. However, from the perspective of the overall development environment of Chinese football, this defeat seems to be a bit "small and big". Coincidentally, while the U23 national football team is fighting for the Dubai Cup, the Chinese men's football team is also fighting for the World Cup ticket, but the national football team has determined that it will not qualify for the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Previously, the topic of Chinese football has caused controversy across the network, and from the outside world's voices, the biggest exclamation issued by fans is "hate iron is not steel".
The status quo of high salaries, good treatment, and special flight pick-up but not good results has caused the team members to suffer from the whole network. Since the new century, the national football team has entered the World Cup, which has become the eternal expectation of the domestic sports world and even the Chinese people. But wave after wave of team members, this dream gradually became a meaningless slogan, loud enough, but never echoed. This time, the dream of the national football team to enter the 2022 Qatar World Cup is once again shattered, and in the future, once again to the World Cup, the hope falls on this group of U23 players. Are you bullish on them?
