In the U20 Asian Cup match that ended today, the Chinese team and the South Korean team finally ushered in this much-anticipated match, and the possible outcome of the game, including the process of the game, before the game fans have already expected, and even have done a good psychological construction, after all, in this game, the difficulties encountered by the Chinese team may be unprecedented since the start of the U20 Asian Cup. Our Chen Zhexuan and Bai Hlamu on the attacking line, because of the accumulated yellow cards, this game is still not played, and the only attacking players we have who may be able to pose a threat to the opponent are not there, and the pressure on the defense is naturally greater.
Looking at this game, the two players who may perform the best, one is our goalkeeper Li Hao, in fact, his group stage has attracted everyone's attention, and has been signed by Atletico Madrid before, and now it seems that the La Liga giants are really unique. In addition, the captain of the Chinese team, the tactical core of the entire team, Eiffelding, who played very well in this game, but he was difficult to stand alone in the front court and was helpless. But after this game, the most praised is not Eiffelding or Li Hao, or some other outstanding players, from the Spanish head coach Antonio, praised and concerned by more fans, many people have said before the Asian Cup that Antonio may be temporarily replaced before the game, now it seems that such a stupid decision was not made, for the Chinese U20 men's team, it is really a blessing, if you change a head coach, I'm afraid the Chinese team won't be able to play today.
Antonio's transformation of this team, the package is very obvious. Compared with other age groups, the Chinese U20 team looks more confident, especially when it comes to getting the ball. Now the Chinese men's football team seems to be in a strange circle, we play some opponents who are stronger than us, even at the Asian level, take the ball and open the foot, and quickly keep the ball away from the danger zone. This makes the Chinese team just tired of defense, the attack depends on luck, if a big foot can find the players in the front court, but also create some threats, if you can't find it, this attack will be wasted, but under Antonio's coaching, the U20 boys, the sense of taking the ball, the sense of forward is still relatively strong, especially Alfettin, gained more tactical freedom, and even in many tight defense situations can take the ball freely, This confidence is inseparable from his usual training, including the encouragement given to him by the coaches.
As for some other athletes, although they do not have the ability to hold the ball in a tight situation, we can see that once the opponent's defense line is not so tight, or at the critical point of physical strength, the opponent no longer dares to launch a tight defense in the front court, the Chinese team members are not like before, holding the ball and directly opening wide, but daring to calmly control the ball, this change I think is worthy of praise.
For the position of players on the field, Antonio has some very good changes, such as Chen Zhexuan, he used to play at the back in all ages of the Shandong Taishan team, and now he pushes him to the front court, showing his ability to make a lethal pass, while his defensive ability can also be used. Another example is Alfedin, in Guangzhou Evergrande this season, he played more in the position of left winger, but after coming to the national team, he became a single arrow of the Chinese team, playing on the left and center. There is also Baihoramu, a pure centre-forward who has been transformed into a right-winger, increasing his range of motion and ability to run off the ball, changes that Antonio has brought about.
Many media and fans said that now is it okay to consider letting him take over Yang Yankovic and lead the Chinese men's football team to the next Asian Cup? From his coaching level, it seems that the U23 men's team coached by Bijankovic does not have too much aggressiveness, if it is changed to this coach, what level of technical and tactical ability will our men's players reach?
