#Headline Creation Challenge#2023 is a disastrous year for Chinese football, with the investigation of national football coach Li Tie taken away in November last year, which opened the curtain on Chinese football's anti-corruption campaign.
The new year has just begun, and the three main high-level officials of the Chinese Football Association have been monitored and investigated one after another. In January, Liu Yi, former secretary general of the Football Association, and Chen Yongliang, executive deputy secretary-general and minister of national management, were investigated at the same time; Then, in February, the president of the Football Association, Chen Jiayuan, was also censored and investigated, and for a while, Chinese football ushered in the darkest hour, which was heartbreaking.
It seems that the time has come for Chinese football to completely eliminate the tumor, otherwise there will be no glimmer of hope and future.
In such a dark moment, the Chinese young men began their journey to prepare for the U20 Asian Cup, winning only one of the 4 warm-up matches, with a record of 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats, one win and one loss against Syria U20 (1:0, 2:1), a 1:1 draw with Oman U20, a 0:1 defeat to the United Arab Emirates U20, only 3 goals scored in 4 games, conceded 4 goals, conceded an average of 1 goal per game, and the team ushered in the U20 Asian Cup group stage in adversity.
Now, the group stage has been cancelled for 2 rounds, and the performance of the Chinese U20 men's football team is still relatively satisfactory, 2 wins and 1 loss, scoring 3 goals and conceding 2 goals, accumulating 3 points, and the goal difference advantage is better than the Saudi U20 national football team, ranking second in the group.
In the first round of the group, the team encountered the powerful Japanese U20 men's team, and everyone saw that the team was fully suppressed, with only 32% possession, only 5 chances to hit the goal, only relying on the opponent's own goal to save a trace of face, and finally lost 1:2, suffering the embarrassment of 2 consecutive defeats, and started the group stage journey against the trend.
However, what is surprising is that in the second round of the group against the equally powerful Saudi U20 men's team, the young boys showed a strong side, although they were also suppressed by the opponent, the possession rate was also only 32%, and it was also 5 shots on goal, but the team created its own miracle in the second half, achieved self-redemption, scored 2 goals in 7 minutes (Mutalif 65 minutes tackle, Xu Bin 72 minutes pushed the empty goal), and finally maintained 2:0 until the end of the game, and achieved a long-lost victory. It is really exciting to get rid of the embarrassment of losing two consecutive games in all competitions while winning hope for your own qualification and allowing Chinese people to see the dawn of Chinese football in the dark.
Now, the Chinese U20 men's football team is about to usher in the key battle of qualifying, and the time has come to test the young men.
At 20:00 Beijing time on March 9, Group D of the U20 Asian Cup group stage, the Chinese U20 men's football team is about to face the Kyrgyzstan U20 men's football team, the deputy team leader of the group, a battle of life and death related to qualifying, Antonio and his disciples are determined to win, and all three points are taken and strongly advanced to the quarterfinals of this Asian Cup.
Judging from the performance of the first two rounds of the group stage, the young boys are still trustworthy, facing the two strong opponents of Japan and Saudi Arabia, the team has shown unprecedented courage and confidence, successively broke through the opponent's door, and escaped death, and won the valuable three points of the qualification, which is admirable.
On the other hand, the opponent Kyrgyzstan U20 men's football team is relatively crotch-pulling, losing 2 games, not scoring a goal, 0:1, 0:3 successively killed by Saudi Arabia and Japan, 0 points at the bottom of the group, has bid farewell to this Asia in advance, the team has no desire for this game, which makes the young boys see hope.
In any case, the young men cannot be taken lightly, the lessons of the previous national football blood are still vivid, they must be taken seriously, they cannot be careless, go all out to win the opponent, fight for Chinese football, what is the final outcome? We'll see!
