On March 6, Beijing time, in the second round of the U20 Asian Cup group stage, China's U20 national football team will face its old rival Saudi Arabia. For the U20 national team, this will be a life-and-death battle, only winning can turn the situation around, once the loss is likely to be out early, the draw is only a continuation of life.
In the first round of the group stage, the U20 national football team scored in the first 6 minutes, and conceded 2 goals in 4 minutes in the second half, and finally suffered a 1-2 reversal by Japan.
Saudi Arabia faced Kyrgyzstan in the first round, and with a penalty opportunity in the fifth minute of the second half, Saudi Arabia narrowly won 1-0 to open the game. Of course, in terms of score, the Saudi team was narrowly victorious, but the process was that the Saudi team had the absolute upper hand, and Kyrgyzstan did not even have a shot that hit the target.
The two teams met in last year's preliminary round, with Saudi Arabia winning 1-0 with overwhelming dominance. Of course, the U20 national football team had confirmed before that game that they could advance as long as they did not lose 6 goals, so they were more relaxed to a certain extent.
The final round of the match has become meaningful, and the match between Japan and Kyrgyzstan is very likely to be won by Japan. If Saudi Arabia also beats the U20 team, Japan and Saudi Arabia will join hands to qualify, and the final round of the U20 match with Kyrgyzstan will be meaningless.
Of course, if they can beat Saudi Arabia, the U20 national football team will change the qualification situation of the group and even hold the initiative to qualify.
According to the customary saying, the Chinese men's football team is the first round of the black, the second round has become a life and death battle, this time the U20 Asian Cup is the same.
