In the world of football, the drama "Counterattack from 0 to 2" has just staged a ridiculous prelude. Yes, our national Olympic team, under the leadership of Cheng Yaodong, has gone through the process of going from zero to one and then to two, but what is the result? The first defeat of the four games, and even the door to the first place in Asia could not be opened, which is simply distressing.
First of all, there were two warm-up matches against Saudi Arabia, and we thought that at least one of them could beat the opponent to the north, but it turned out to be two consecutive defeats, from 0-1 to 0-2, this kind of "progress" makes people laugh and cry. Then, in the last warm-up match against Uzbekistan, we thought we could draw a successful end to the warm-up match with a victory, but what happened? It was still the same, we were beaten to the bottom of the game, and we lost 2-0, as if to say, "Wake up, it's not strong enough to get there." ”
The losses in these warm-up games are like a lesson for the national Olympic team: "Although you have worked hard, your efforts are not enough." Cheng Yaodong may not have expected that his fall would be carried by such a heavy lesson. But then again, this heaviness may be exactly what the national Olympic team needs. After all, growing in the face of adversity is the only way to be stronger in future games.
Looking at the opponents, the Uzbek team is not only the defending champion, but also the favourite. For them, the Chinese team may be another stepping stone, but for us, it is an excellent "learning" opportunity. Yes, even if we lose, we have to learn from it, even if it is to learn how to fall more gracefully.
Therefore, although the national Olympic team lost for the first time in these four games, although we failed to play the first in Asia, and although Cheng Yaodong fell, this is not the end, but a new beginning. This failure may become an opportunity for the rise of the national Olympic team, as the old saying goes: "Failure is the mother of success." ”
So the question is, do you think the Olympic team will be able to turn the tables against the wind and create miracles in the next Asian Cup, or what changes do they need to achieve better results in future competitions?
