It's really rare! The U23 Asian Cup National Olympic Games comprehensively suppressed Japan, and Tao Qianglong was the pillar of the world's waves

At 21:00 on the evening of April 16, the Chinese men's football team U23 (hereinafter referred to as the National Olympic Games) ushered in their first game of this U23 Asian Cup, facing the strongest team in the group - Japan.

After more than 90 minutes of fierce battle, the national Olympic team lost 0-1 to Japan, but the performance of the national Olympic team in this game was eye-catching, in the case of a goal behind, the national Olympic team once completely suppressed the opponent, so that Japan could not pass half time at all. In addition, the national Olympic team also had several excellent shots on goal, and captain Tao Qianglong's world wave from outside the box hit the crossbar of the Japanese team.

Before the game, Cheng Yaodong, the head coach of the National Olympic team, was very low-key and pragmatic, saying that he would cherish the opportunity to play against strong teams, so that the National Olympic team would play at a very low level to avoid the players from falling into huge pressure.

Cheng Yaodong discharged a more conservative starter: 22-Huang Zihao, 5-Zhu Yue, 13-Jin Shunkai, 4-Liang Shaowen, 16-Yang Zihao, 19-Duan Dezhi, 10-Jia Feifei, 7-Tao Qianglong, 9-Baihelam Abduwaili, 17-Eiffelding Escal, 11-Liu Junxian. Xie Wenneng, who performed well in the Chinese Super League, sat on the bench and waited for the backhand.

In the first half, the national Olympic team quickly lost the upper hand against the powerful Japan. In the 8th minute of the game, the goal of the national Olympic team was lost, and the Japanese player Matsumoto Jiusheng kicked the ball into the empty goal unguarded, and the national Olympic team fell behind 0-1.

In the 17th minute of the game, a dramatic scene occurred on the field, Japanese player Takashi Nishio lost his revenge and elbowed Jia Feifei, and was directly shown a red card after watching the VAR video replay by the female referee on duty. After playing one more person, the national Olympic team gained absolute control of the field and firmly pressed Japan to rub in the half, which is definitely a very rare scene in the history of Chinese and Japanese football.

In the 37th minute, Tao Qianglong, the captain of the national Olympic team, formed a continuous breakthrough outside the penalty area, after getting rid of the third Japanese player, Tao Qianglong bent his left foot and shot a beautiful arc, and the football bypassed the opponent's goalkeeper and smashed heavily on the crossbar, which was a stone's throw away from the goal, and shocked Japan into a cold sweat.

After the second half, Xie Wenneng came on as a substitute, he brought more vitality to the national Olympic team, forming round after round of offensive against Japan, but unfortunately the national Olympic team was unable to score in the case of data superiority, and finally could only accept the bitter result of a 0-1 defeat.

According to the statistics after the game, the national Olympic team won 61% possession and collected 10 shots on goal, six of which were in the woodwork, completely suppressing Japan. One thing to say, the performance of the national Olympic team in this game is impressive, facing the strong Japan put forward their own style, but because of luck, they failed to break through the opponent's goal and get the first point of this U23 Asian Cup.

Next, the national Olympic team will face South Korea and the United Arab Emirates, and the qualifying situation is not optimistic, but it is still the same sentence, I love you when I win, I love you when I lose, and I don't love you if I don't fight. Come on, Chinese football!
