On September 9, 2023, the Chinese U15 men's football team defeated Japan 2-1 in the final to win the championship. The match showed the strength and potential of young Chinese players, who showed excellent technical level and teamwork spirit in the competition.
Then the next day, the Chinese men's national football team drew 1-1 with Malaysia in a friendly match. Although the result of this match was tied, the performance of the Chinese team in the game was also recognized and affirmed.
However, the two games reflect some differences. First of all, the U15 men's football team was formed temporarily, they were not officially recognized by the Chinese Football Association, but they still showed a very good performance. In contrast, the Chinese men's national football team, although it also tried its best, did not perform as well as the U15 men's football team.
Secondly, the opponents in the two games are also different. The U15 men's soccer team is against Japan, which is a strong team with many good players and coaches. The opponent of the Chinese men's national football team is the Malaysian team, although they also have certain strength, but there is still a certain gap between the strength level of the Chinese team.
In short, the Chinese men's football team has achieved good news, and the results of the U15 men's football team and the Malaysian team are gratifying. This also shows that the strength and potential of young Chinese players cannot be underestimated. At the same time, the Chinese Football Association should also pay more attention to the training and development of young players and inject new impetus and vitality into China's football cause.
