The recent U20 Asian Cup matches have continued, and now we are ushering in the most watched quarter-finals. After this game, South Korea scored two goals in a row in extra time to defeat China 3-1 to advance to the semi-finals, and we regret that we can only stop in the quarterfinals.
Of course, after this game, there should not be many regrets for many fans. Because no matter which player everyone fought to the end, by the time of extra time, there were already many players who were carried down because of their physical strength and cramps one after another, and everyone fought for the last bullet although they were defeated.
However, looking back on this match, although the Chinese team performed very well, the main personnel who delayed the development of Chinese football over the years were criticized by many fans after the game, and this figure was former Football Association President Chen Jiayuan.
First of all, a brief review of this game, every player in the national football team fought to the end, including players like Mu Talipu and Li Hao, who performed quite well and played our best level, so there is no complaint about losing the game this time. But on the other hand, it is a pity that compared with the Korean team, we have a very big gap in terms of physical fitness and tactics, possession rate, etc., and the problem behind this is precisely the inaction of the Football Association over the years.
The outside world generally believes that it is Chen Jiayuan who has not arranged the youth training work to cultivate more talents over the years, so that our level can not keep up with the leading level in Asia, and we have been in a backward state, and we will suffer losses at the critical moment of this game. Under such circumstances, as the former president of the Football Association, Chen Jiayuan naturally became the target of everyone. Many fans believe that since he took office, he has not contributed to the mainland football team, and has frequently delayed the growth of the national football team, including the work in youth training.
On the other hand, the senior team has become more and more backwards in recent years, and even became a scattered sand, and he is also guilty as the former head of the football association. If it were not for his snubbing in recent years, which led to the slow development of Chinese football for so many years, these young players might still be able to go to a higher level, and maybe this game would have a chance to complete revenge and defeat the South Korean team.
So to be honest, looking back on the overall development process over the years, Chen Jiayuan's tenure has completely dragged down the Chinese team and the hind legs of Chinese football. Fortunately, he was finally arrested some time ago, which is undoubtedly great news for people, and we also hope that people like them can be severely punished after finding out all the problems that made mistakes in the follow-up.
Next, since our national football team has recognized the gap, we can't always complain. Next, the most important thing is how to improve, change, and correct problems, recognize reality and shorten the gap, and see how to improve the level and develop good technology in five to ten years, so that we will have the opportunity to catch up with these strong teams in Japan and South Korea in the future. Now the gap between the two sides is there, and our spirit is no longer lost, just a little bit of strength, and this gap is the basis accumulated over the years.
Of course, there is no hurry about this, and it must be accumulated for a long time to gradually catch up. Next, for all football-related people, it is very important to be patient, only if everyone maintains enough patience to cultivate local talent, will they have the opportunity to overtake one day.
