The 6th U23 Asian Cup 2024 has begun. The match between the national football team and the Japanese men's football team continues.
You lost 0-1 to Japan and got off to a bad start.
In the first half, Japan scored a goal in the 7th minute. In the 15th minute, Japanese player Takaya Nishio maliciously fouled, elbowed the national football player, and was sent off with a red card. The national football team launched a fierce attack on the door of the Japanese team, but unfortunately it was scoreless.
In the first half, they trailed Japan 1-0.
In the second half, the national football team made personnel adjustments. Xie Wenneng and Du Yuezheng came off the bench.
In the first minute of the second half, national football player Xie Wenneng went straight into the opponent's penalty area and hit the goal, but unfortunately the game was too positive and was saved by the Japanese team's goalkeeper Reio Kokubo. Xie Wenneng is very active.
The Japanese team had one less man and did not dare to organize too many attacks. Coupled with the fact that they are already one goal ahead, the result is acceptable. It would be better if we could score again. The Japanese team focused more on defense and waited for an opportunity to counterattack.
This gives the national football team a chance. The national football team can also focus more on attacking. The national football team also created a lot of opportunities and threatened the opponent's door many times, but unfortunately it was scoreless.
Milu, the former head coach of the Chinese men's football team, watched the game from the stands.
In the 58th minute, the national football team continued to make substitutions and replaced Yang Zihao with Hu Hetao. The national football team still has ideas.
The national football team couldn't attack for a long time, and the players were in a hurry, and their movements were a lot worse. Instead, Japan had several chances and almost scored.
In the 73rd minute, the national football team got a corner kick opportunity on the right side. The national football player sent a spinning ball, and neither player touched the ball. The ball grazed the post. It's a bit of a pity.
Little by little, time passed. The two sides seem to have formed a tacit understanding. The national team controlled the ball but struggled to threaten. The Japanese players focused more on defense and rarely sent people forward to attack. They just need to hold on to a 1-0 scoreline.
This is not good for the national football team. If the national football team doesn't score, it loses. The Japanese team lost 1 man in the 15th minute, which was very beneficial to the national football team. Judging from the process of the game, the national football team's possession rate is a little better, and there are more offensive opportunities, but it is in vain not to score.
There will be six minutes of stoppage time in the second half. The national football players continued to keep the ball, but unfortunately they couldn't score goals.
At the end of the game, the national team lost 0-1 to Japan.
The Japanese team scored 3 points and the national football team scored 0 points. South Korea's match against the UAE has not yet been played. Japan is provisionally ranked first in Group B.
Technical statistics show that the national football team has a ball possession rate of 61%, and the Japanese team is only 39%. The Chinese team had 10 shots on goal and 6 on target, but unfortunately did not score. Japan had 7 shots on goal with 4 on target and scored 1 goal. China had 6 corners, while Japan had only 4. China has 2 yellow cards and Japan has 1 red card.
From the point of view of technical statistics, the Chinese team had the advantage of the field, but unfortunately did not score and lost 0-1 to the Japanese team. This is football, no matter how good the data is, if you don't score, you lose and you lose. There are many areas for improvement in the national football team. In particular, the power of the last kick still needs to be improved. Once a single knife, once a goalpost, the luck of the national football team is also a little worse.
