In the home warm-up match yesterday afternoon, Cheng Yaodong's national Olympic team broke out a surprising upset - they lost 0-1 to Malaysia. However, what is even more shocking is that the shooting state and feeling of the Chinese Olympic players in the game can be called amateurish, and there is no improvement after the long-term training camp.
In the 35th minute of the game, Du Yuezheng, a national Olympic player, tried a hanging door in the front court, but when no one was marked, the hanging shot deviated from the target seriously, and even went at least 10 meters above the crossbar. Such a mistake obviously should not come from the feet of a main Olympic player, whose skill level and judgment are extremely amateurish.
In the 61st minute of the game, the national Olympic team organized an attack in the front, and after receiving an inverted triangle return pass from a teammate, the player played a turning shot in the penalty area. However, the shot was weak and angled, and did not pose a threat to the opposition goal at all. This scene once again exposed the weakness and confusion of the national Olympic team on the offensive end.
The most surprising scene came in the final moments of the game, when Olympic striker Eiffelding faced an empty chance in the 89th minute, but he actually flew the ball away when the goalkeeper was overheaded. This empty goal is undoubtedly the best commentary on the overall sluggish offensive state of the national Olympic team.
These mistakes prove once again that long-term training camps do not guarantee an improvement in the player's form, and may even have a negative impact. Under the leadership of Cheng Yaodong, the offensive ability of the national Olympic team is worrying, and it is almost more difficult for such an amateur shooting standard to conquer the door of the same group opponents Japan and South Korea in the U23 Asian Cup next year.
To sum up, the performance of the national Olympic team in this competition is deeply worrying. Whether it's the skill level of the players, their judgment or the organization of the attack, there are obvious problems. If it cannot be adjusted and improved in time, then the national Olympic team may face more serious challenges in the upcoming U23 Asian Cup. (Lao Qiu Super League Ball Review)
