On April 16, in the first round of Group B of the U23 Asian Cup and Olympic Qualifiers, China VS Japan. 0-1, the Chinese National Olympic Games of 11 to 10 for a long time, although they have an advantage on the field, their offensive ability is too mediocre and they have never been able to break the goal. China's National Olympics, which has a black start, will face South Korea in 3 days, and if it loses, it is basically certain to be out.
In this year's U23 Asian Cup, the Chinese Olympic Games are in Group B with Japan, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates. As a team in the fourth pot, the Chinese National Olympic Games is theoretically the "division of fish belly". In the first game against Japan, not many fans expected the National Olympics to score points - in the past 4 times they participated in the U23 Asian Cup, the Chinese team was out of the group, with a record of 1 win and 11 losses.
On paper, the Japanese Olympic team is clearly stronger: the starting 11 are worth a total of 7 million euros, with players from Europe, the main J-League teams, and active internationals. For the Chinese Olympic Games, the strength is not as good as the opponent, but there is no pressure and psychological baggage.
In the 7th minute, the Chinese National Olympic team lost the goal, Yamada Kaede crossed, and the unguarded Matsuki Jiusheng mat scored the goal, and the national Olympic team fell behind 0-1.
In the 18th minute, Takaya Nishio deliberately elbowed Jia Feifei and was sent off with a direct red card. This red card became the turning point of the game. The 11-on-10 Chinese Olympic Games began to gain the upper hand and create more opportunities.
In the 38th minute, Tao Qianglong's 25-meter volley hit the crossbar, only a few centimeters away from the goal!
In the 42nd minute, Duan Dezhi's header was also very threatening.
In the first half, although the national Olympic team was 0-1 behind, they had 61% possession and 7 shots on goal, all of which were higher than Japan. Yibian fought again, the National Olympic Games replaced 2 people in a row, Xie Wenneng and Du Yuezheng replaced Eiffelding and Liu Junxian, and the National Olympic continued to strengthen the attack.
In the 47th minute, the National Olympic Games missed the opportunity again, Du Yuezheng counterattacked and divided the ball, Xie Wen was able to get a single chance, but unfortunately Xiao Xie from Shandong Taishan sent the ball to the goalkeeper's arms!
Milu, who led the national football team to the World Cup, also came to the scene to watch the game. In the 58th minute, the National Olympic Games made another substitution, and Hu Hetao removed Yang Zihao. Japan handed over the ball, the 441 formation retreated, and the biggest problem of the National Olympics was that the offense could not be accelerated, and the midfield and backfield were inverted, which could not threaten the Japanese defense.
Japan allowed the Chinese Olympic Games to control the ball, but the National Olympic Games' short pass penetration ability was insufficient, although there was a 62% possession rate, it was rare to pass more than 3 feet in a row, and there were almost no explosive breakthroughs. The continuous corner kicks of the Chinese National Olympic Games, blindly crossing, lack of change and novelty, and have no routines and tactics to speak of.
In the last 20 minutes, the performance of the Chinese Olympic Games made the fans anxious - there was no quick passing, no change of pace, no running and receiving, and the attack was extremely sluggish. In the 90th minute, Xie Wenneng shot the line of the penalty area, without threat.
In the 88th minute, the Chinese National Olympic Games made a surprise move: the 2-meter-tall goalkeeper Jin Yong made a cameo as a striker!
Three days later, China will play against South Korea. The top 2 in the group can advance to the top 8, if they lose to South Korea again, the Chinese Olympic Games are basically determined to bid farewell to the U23 Asian Cup, and the dream of the Olympic men's football team is shattered.
