On March 3, Beijing time, in the first round of Group D of the U20 Asian Cup, the U20 national football team faced the Japanese U20 national team in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Before the game, the starting lineup of the two teams was released.
In order to prepare for the U20 Asian Cup, the U20 national football team left for Dubai, United Arab Emirates for training before the Spring Festival, and then went to Croatia for a 20-day intensive training. In late February, the U20 team arrived in Uzbekistan, the host of the U20 Asian Cup.
Due to the long training time, there were many injuries in the U20 national football team, and the list of 23 participants was not submitted to the organizing committee, and the final list, including Liu Shao Ziyang, He Xiaoke, Jia Boyan, 3 Liuyang, and Liu Guobao, who was promoted in the preliminary round, were not eligible to participate.
However, Eiffeldin Eskar, Hu Haotao, Mewulang Mijti, Mutalif, and Baihlamu Abduwaili are all on the list. The U20 national football team is in the same group as Japan, Saudi Arabia and Kyrgyzstan, and has met Saudi Arabia in the preliminary round, and in terms of overall strength, the U20 national football team faces the Japanese team in the first game, and the pressure is quite large.
U20 starting lineup: 1-Li Hao, 5-Liu Haofan, 15-Xiang Rongjun, 12-Zhang Yixuan, 4-Yang Minjie, 14-Xu Bin, 21-Hirzati Nur, 2-Hu Hetao, 18-Chen Zhexuan, 9-Baihlamu Abduwaili, 7-Eifeldin Escal
