As we all know, the national football team has recently concluded the two group stages of the World Preliminary Tournament. Although they were forced to draw by the Singapore men's football team in the first game, after returning to their home stadium, they finally defeated their opponents with a score of 4-1 and regained the initiative to enter the top 18 of the world preliminaries. In the next June, as long as the Thai team is defeated, the national football team will be able to get the ticket to the top 18.
After the national football world preliminaries came to an end, on the other hand, the national football team recently ushered in two very important games, one is the U23 Asian Cup, and the other is the Paris Olympic qualifiers. In order to prepare for these two important games, just recently, I saw that the coach of the national football team organized 6 warm-up matches for this young team. Judging from the current performance, this group of young internationals is still very good. First of all, in the first two warm-up matches, the opponents were strong opponents such as the Saudi men's football team. Perhaps it is because the opponent's strength is indeed outstanding, so in these two warm-up games, the Chinese men's football team lost relatively badly, did not score a single goal, and suffered two consecutive defeats.
At that time, many fans were a little worried after seeing the performance of the national Olympic team, if they could not achieve good results in the next warm-up games, how could they achieve good results in this year's U23 Asian Cup? After being swept by the Saudi team, the national Olympic team defeated the Qatar team 2-0 in the third warm-up match. In the other warm-up match that ended recently, they defeated the Malaysian team 2-1. So far, we have won two consecutive warm-up matches.
From the previous two consecutive defeats to the current two consecutive wins, the Chinese men's national football team has undoubtedly achieved a miraculous counterattack and achieved a super good performance in the warm-up match. There are two warm-up matches to follow, and after these two warm-up games, they will officially compete in the Under-23 Asian Cup to compete for the qualification for the Paris Olympics. Judging from the official rules, the teams that can win the top three in this year's U23 Asian Cup will directly qualify for the Paris Olympics. As 12 teams have qualified for the men's team at the current Paris Olympics, the remaining few places will be allocated to this year's U23 Asian Cup. Therefore, for the Chinese men's football team, this time the national Olympic team undoubtedly shoulders a heavy responsibility.
Judging from the current group standings, the Chinese team is placed in the group with the United Arab Emirates, Japan and South Korea. Among them, the United Arab Emirates has suffered a recent upset defeat and is not in particularly good form, and the Chinese team hopes to beat the United Arab Emirates.
In addition, Japan and South Korea are very strong teams, and it is unlikely that they will be able to defeat these two teams in succession. However, there is still hope for a draw or even an upset against one of the teams. Therefore, for the national Olympic team, although the situation of the group is indeed grim, there is the possibility of advancing to the knockout round with the second group to continue to impact the top three of the Asian Cup, once it can win the top three, the Chinese men's national Olympic team will be able to enter the Olympics. Although it is not easy, for fans, they can still look forward to the performance of this young team, and the Chinese team is cheering.
