Junior Asian Cup Final Round Preview: Only 2 Possible Advances! Win Saudi Arabia 2+ goals still need the help of the bottom team

At 18:00 Beijing time on June 22, the Chinese national junior team will face the Saudi Arabian U17 men's football team in the third round of the U17 Asian Cup group stage. With only one point in the first two rounds of the group, the Chinese national junior team has already hung in the balance, and there is only one way to win.

In this year's U17 Asian Cup, the Chinese national junior team drew 1-1 with Tajikistan in the first round of the group stage. In the second round, the Chinese national junior team faced Australia, which had lost in the preliminary round, and although it chased two goals in a row after falling behind 1-4 at one point, it still lost 3-5 after wasting two solo chances. After 2 rounds, only 1 point was accumulated, temporarily ranking 3rd in the group.

Saudi Arabia beat Australia 2-0 in the first round of the group stage, and Tajikistan 2-0 in the second round, ranking first in the group with six points after two consecutive wins. In this match, they qualified early to lock the top spot by playing a tie. Australia are 2nd in the group with 1 win and 1 loss with 3 points, China is 3rd, and Tajikistan is at the bottom of the group with 1 point but has few goals.

The current situation is very unfavorable for the Chinese national junior team. The specific promotion situation is:

First, the national football team loses or draws Saudi Arabia, directly out

Second, the national football team defeated Saudi Arabia, Australia defeated Tajikistan, out

Third, the national football team beat Saudi Arabia by less than 2 goals, Australia drew Tajikistan, out

4th, the national football team beat Saudi Arabia by more than 2 goals, Australia drew Tajikistan and advanced

5. The national football team wins Saudi Arabia, Australia loses to Tajikistan, as long as it does not win less than Tajikistan, it will advance.

To sum up, if the national junior team wants to qualify, it is almost impossible to not only beat Saudi Arabia, which has won two consecutive games, by at least 2 goals in the final round, but also hope that Tajikistan will defeat or draw Australia.

Although the national junior team's hopes of qualifying for this Asian Cup are quite slim, the performance of several young attackers such as Wang Yudong and Kuang Jiwen is still remarkable. In the future, if Yang Chen can help the national junior team solve the defensive problem, the future of this national junior team is still worth optimistic about.
