After the U23 Asian Cup group came out last year, in fact, many people did not have much hope for this national Olympic team, and in the group of death with Japan, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates, it is a common expectation for the outside world to win with less loss.
In the first game against Japan 0-1, the Chinese Olympic Games did not lose much ugly from the score, but the game scene was a little outrageous......
Especially at the last moment, coach Cheng Yaodong sent a two-meter-high goalkeeper Kim Yong as a cameo center...... Is this the result of half a day of intensive training?
This scene can probably only be seen in games, and it reminds us of the 1996 European Championship, when the injury-ridden German team even wanted Kahn to play as a central striker in the final.
Xie Wen can miss a single knife, Tao Qianglong shoots the crossbar from a distance, and the poor ability to grasp the opportunity is probably the "ability" that every age group of national frontcourt players have.
And in the case of almost one more person playing in the whole game, especially in the second half, the performance of the national Olympic team even made people who did not watch the first half not know who was leading......
Aimless return passes, slow-paced disjointed versions of the layered advancement, is this medieval football?
11 to 10, falling behind, "tactical genius" Cheng Yaodong actually changed defenders in a row, and let two goalkeepers appear on the field at the same time......
Three days later against South Korea and next Monday against the United Arab Emirates, each game is a tough battle and a battle of life and death.
As for Olympic qualification, there is basically no need to think about it (the top three of the 16 teams go straight to Paris, and the fourth team competes with Guinea, the fourth team in the African zone).
In the U23 Asian Cup, the performance of the Chinese Olympic Games so far can no longer be described as bleak: 1 win, 12 losses, 10 goals scored 22 goals.
I just hope that the National Olympic Games will not be like their big brother in the Asian Cup at the beginning of this year, and in the end they can't score a goal......
