The Chinese U20 national football team surprised the fans, being placed in a group with Japan, Saudi Arabia and Kyrgyzstan before the match. This is a veritable group of death.
Needless to say, the Japanese team is the boss in Asia, absolute dominance, the senior team has many good results in world football, and the figure of Japanese players in the five major leagues is not uncommon. The results of the youth team are also very good, the domestic youth training system is perfect, and the number and intensity of reasonable matches are much higher than those of other countries.
Saudi Arabia is the previous champion, the team is delicate and capable, and they come with the goal of defending the title. The Kyrgyz national youth team has outstanding physical conditions and first-class confrontation ability, which is a veritable "Central Asian wolf".
It was in this dilemma that the young men of the Chinese National Youth Team played with style and will. It was a few days to make the countrymen happy for a few days to lose to Japan, defeat Saudi Arabia and finally draw Kyrgyzstan, finishing second in the group, leaving the defending champion out of the competition.
After reaching the quarterfinals, the knockout stage was adopted, and the national youth team was opposed by the strong South Korean team. Winning seems impossible, and many people say it's thankful if they can lose a few goals less. I don't see it, although the three games of the national youth team are very passive, and the possession rate is only about 30%, the tactical thinking is very correct and the use is also very good.
The players on the field of the national youth team have good tactical execution ability and are very consistent in thinking. It is to resolutely play defensive counterattacks, not afraid of ugly scenes, and will instigate sharp counterattacks when opportunities arise. For example, the first few minutes of the first game let the Japanese team swing their own own goal, which is enough to prove that the national youth team's oppressive ability is also very strong.
In the third game against Kyrgyzstan, the national youth team's counterattack made another mistake and kicked the ball into their own goal. This ability to oppress was not seen before. Therefore, in the face of the South Korean team, which is similar in strength to the Japanese team, as long as the young men of the national youth team can resolutely implement the defensive counterattack and wait for the opportunity to launch a counterattack, there may be unexpected gains. If the game can be substituted for the penalty shoot-out link, there is a hope of winning.
Chinese football has always been the role of "accompanying the prince to study", maybe this time we can also let the "prince" accompany us to "read". I hope that the young men of the Chinese team can play beyond the level, win the South Korean team, and enter the World Youth Championship!
