In the final match of the U20 Asian Cup group stage, the U20 Chinese national youth team drew 1-1 with Kyrgyzstan, with 1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss and 4 points, reaching the last 8. This is also the first time since 2014 that the U20 national football team has emerged from the group stage.
It can be said that before this game, even if the Chinese team has overturned the previous champion Saudi Arabia 2-0, but in the face of the weaker Kyrgyzstan, fans are still not sure, because Chinese football has not only been weak over the years, but also has never been favored by lady luck, to beat Saudi Arabia 2-0 has been considered to consume many years of luck, we will not be so lucky again, and before similar "black three minutes" things have been played out on the Chinese team many times, who can ensure that we will not be happy and sad?
In the second half, Eiffelding created an own goal from the left to help China take a 1-0 lead, but the score lasted half an hour, and at the end of regular time he was equalized by his opponent due to mishandling of the attack! Moreover, until the end of stoppage time, the Chinese team was in a state of noise in front of the door, and the fans breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news of Japan's 2-1 victory over Saudi Arabia! It can be said that in the end, we can win because of luck and the assist of the Japanese team next door!
However, to be able to reach the last 8 again after 9 years and still qualify in the group of death is a great victory in itself! For Chinese football, being able to qualify is the biggest recognition of the fans for them, even if the world ranking is high, like the European Cup champion Italy can't even enter the World Cup, that is a proper failure! So, although the U20 national football team is not perfect and full of holes, at least we qualified from the group, which is already a miracle!
In addition, the 1/4 final that will be played on March 12, the Chinese team against the South Korean team, according to the rules, as long as you win this life and death battle, China can advance to the Indonesian U20 World Cup (World Youth Championship) in May-June this year.
Although everyone despises Chinese football and says they are garbage, especially in the context of Li Tie and Chen Jiayuan, Chinese boys can achieve such great progress, and it is also a major turning point for Chinese people to look at Chinese youth training again! So, do you still believe in Chinese football?
In addition, after the match against the national football team U20, Kyrgyzstan's No. 5 player Ulu was dissatisfied with the referee's decision, was extremely emotional, suspected of attacking the referee, and was shown a red card by the on-duty referee. It seems that losing to China is eliminated, they are very unconvinced, if the loser is replaced by China, the consequences can be imagined!
