According to official sources, the 2022 East Asian Cup will be held in Japan from July 19 to 27. The East Asian Cup men's football teams are China, Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong, china, and the women's football team is China, Japan, South Korea and Chinese Taipei.
The 2022 East Asian Cup was originally scheduled to be held in China, but due to the chinese football association being affected by the epidemic and unable to host this tournament, in this case, the competition had to be held in a different place. It has now been officially announced that the East Asian Cup will be held in Japan, and the Japanese side will send U21 to participate. South Korea has won the East Asian Cup five times, making it the team that has won the tournament the most.
The Chinese Football Association is likely to send the U23 national football team to participate in this summer's East Asian Cup in Japan. The main purpose is to warm up for the next Hangzhou Asian Games. In the previous Dubai Cup competition, the U23 national football team coached by Jankovic achieved a record of 1 win and 2 losses. It can serve the purpose of training soldiers and training the team, and increase the experience of the game.
The last East Asian Cup dates back to 2019, when Li Tie's national football team won 1 and lost 2, ranking third. The national football team has won the East Asian Cup in 2005 and 2010, most of these matches are a warm-up five-day stay, no one will send the strongest lineup, especially Japan and South Korea, their main forces are mostly playing in Europe, the East Asian Cup is not an A-level event, can only be a training force.
Host Japan has determined to send U21 to participate, South Korea will not send the main force, the national football team to do is to avoid the bottom and rout, the lesson of the AFC Champions League shame is here, the national football team's U23 if the loss of Japan's U21 will be more verbally criticized by the domestic media, I hope that China's players can do shame and courage.
