The men's Asian preliminaries of the Paris Olympics officially kicked off in Qatar, and this Olympic preliminaries is also the U23 Asian Cup. This National Olympic Games is led by Cheng Yaodong, and it can be called the worst National Olympic Games in history in terms of strength and player popularity. Due to the relatively small number of domestic players in the age group of 01 and 02, it is very rare to recruit a lot of players who have jumped to the selected level, and there are as many as 9 players after the age group of 03, and even the youngest Wang Yudong is only 18 years old, which shows how serious the fault line of our national brand is.
The first game of the group stage of this competition is with Japan, both in terms of value and strength, the National Olympic Games are the weakest teams in this group, and South Korea and the United Arab Emirates are also in the same group. Let's take a look at the starting lineup of the National Olympic side, Tao Qianglong, Eiffelding, and Bai Helamu form an offensive trident, and Liu Junxian is also a striker with strong attacking power, Jia Feifei and Duan Dezhi are double midfielders, and there are Yang Zihao, Liang Shaowen, Jin Shunkai, Zhu Yue on the back line, and the goalkeeper is Huang Zihao. The Japanese Olympic team has 4 foreign players, and the national Olympic team plays in the domestic league.
The game just opened for the Japanese team to score, in the 8th minute of the game, the Japanese team did it back on the right side, and then Yamada Kaede sent a diagonal 45-degree cross, the Chinese team's defenders failed to make an offside position, and the opponent's 20-year-old forward Matsuki Jiusheng volleyed the goal in the small penalty area line, and the national Olympic team 0-1 Japanese national Olympic Games. Matsuki is the absolute main force of Tokyo FC in the J-League, which shows that his level and experience are completely higher than that of the National Olympics. However, in the 17th minute of the game, the situation on the field changed abruptly, Japanese player Takaya Nishio elbowed Jia Feifei without the ball, and the Australian female referee sent him off with a red card shown to Takaya Nishio after listening to the VAR reminder.
The Guoao who played one more man quickly turned the situation on the field and began to besiege the opponent, Tao Qianglong had an in-cut shot hit the goal frame, and Baihelam also had a close-range header to almost break the goal, but the Guoao side was still a fraction of a goal away. At the beginning of the second half, Xie Wenneng, who came on as a substitute, got a chance to score a single goal, but unfortunately he played too positively and kicked in the arms of the opponent's goalkeeper, and Guoao missed an excellent equalizing opportunity.
However, for most of the second half, it seemed that the national Olympic team would not play again, and there were not as many threatening attacks as in the first half. Because the offensive rhythm of the National Olympic Games is relatively slow, the Japanese team is in a good position to wait for the National Olympic Games to attack, although there is an absolute advantage in ball possession, but the National Olympic Games are relatively weak because of the positional combat ability, so there is no threat. At the last moment, the National Olympic side actually sent a goalkeeper to Jin Yong to play the center, mainly because Jin Yong's height is more than 2 meters, so it is quite rare for two goalkeepers to be present at the same time. However, in the end, the national Olympic team still failed to equalize and lost 0-1.
