As an indispensable force, the Chinese Olympic team has undoubtedly attracted much attention in the process of advancing to the Paris Olympic Games. Despite being dubbed the "Group of Death" by the media, the young Chinese team maintained their fighting spirit and delivered an impressive result in their recent warm-up matches.
At the same time, the South Korean team in the same group also suffered an unexpected defeat in a warm-up match, which undoubtedly provided a rare opportunity for the Chinese team to enter the Paris Olympics. At present, the Chinese Olympic team is in hot form, and as long as the performance in the finals reaches a higher level, it is expected to successfully qualify for the Paris Olympics and realize the Olympic dream of this young team.
The South Korean team suffered an unexpected defeat, and the Chinese team took advantage of the momentum
Before the Asian Olympic preliminary finals, South Korea played a warm-up match against a strong Saudi Arabian team. Despite the lack of a number of key players, South Korea still played Saudi Arabia for 90 minutes. However, it was a surprise that South Korea lost 0-1 to their opponents in this warm-up match. This undoubtedly gave the Chinese Olympic team in the same group a big surprise and opportunity.
In this regard, industry insiders analyzed that the results of this warm-up match may affect the trend of the Olympic preliminaries finals. As the main opponent of the South Korean team, the Chinese Olympic team's hopes of qualifying have been greatly improved. Affected by the absence of the main team of the South Korean team, they can only send a second-tier squad in the Olympic preliminaries. The Chinese team has shown good strength in the recent warm-up matches, and coupled with the unexpected defeat of the South Korean team, they may be able to take advantage of the momentum and stand out in this group that is considered the "group of death" and successfully qualify for the Paris Olympics.
The impact road of the Chinese Olympic team in a hot state
In fact, before the start of the Asian finals of the Olympic preliminaries, the recent warm-up results of the Chinese Olympic team were also eye-catching. In the warm-up match with the Saudi team, the Chinese team only lost 2 goals, which shows that the gap in strength between the two sides is not insurmountable. At the same time, the Chinese team also won three consecutive victories in the warm-up matches, including a victory over the strong Qatar team. This undoubtedly fully shows the current strong state of the Chinese Olympic team.
However, in the latest warm-up match against Uzbekistan, the Chinese team unfortunately suffered a defeat. But this did not dampen the fighting spirit of the players, but gave them a timely wake-up call. Cheng Yaodong, the head coach of the Chinese Olympic team, said that the defeat made the players realize the difficulty of the Olympic preliminaries, and they will use this lesson to fully prepare for the finals and strive to achieve an excellent performance in the "Group of Death".
The Chinese Olympic team will face a strong Japanese team in their first match in the Asian finals of the Olympic preliminaries. Although the Japanese team also suffered from the dilemma that the main players could not play, it is still not to be underestimated. However, the Chinese team is well prepared to play well defensively while playing to their strengths in attack in order to win the opening game of this "Group of Death".
Subsequently, the Chinese team will also face the South Korean team, which is also very strong. However, given South Korea's unexpected defeat in the warm-up match, the Chinese team is expected to have an advantage in this game. As long as the Chinese team can continue their excellent form in the recent warm-up games and make full use of the weakness of the South Korean team's main absenteeism, it is believed that they are also expected to win this game.
If the Chinese Olympic team can win both games in the first round, they will be expected to finish with six points in the group stage. This will undoubtedly boost their hopes of qualifying for the Paris Olympics. The Chinese team is young and energetic, and it is the best time to catch up. As long as they maintain their fighting spirit and condition in the finals, they will be able to stand out in this group that is considered the "Group of Death" and successfully qualify for the Paris Olympics.
