U23 Asian Cup first round report: Hanhan will take you to talk about the small regrets and big opportunities of the National Olympic Games
Hello fans, friends, I'm your lovely oral blogger Han Han. Last night and this morning, the first round of the U23 Asian Cup was really exciting! However, it is a little regrettable that our Chinese Olympic team failed to get off to a good start. However, Han Han believes that winning or losing in football games is a common thing, and the key is to see how we learn from failures and how we find new opportunities in setbacks.
Let's talk about our Chinese Olympic team first. Facing the Japanese Olympics, which are very strong, to be honest, I was a little worried before the game. The last time the two teams met was in the 2017 qualifiers, and we were already feeling a lot of pressure at that time. This time they met again, and the difference in strength between the two teams was clearly felt. We conceded the ball in just eight minutes and the defensive side is really worth pondering. But Han Han thinks that football matches are like this, sometimes you have made sufficient preparations, but the opponent's flash of inspiration can break your defense.
However, the national Olympic team was not discouraged after conceding the goal. In the 17th minute, a Japanese defender's elbow action without the ball directly gave the national Olympic team a numerical advantage. It should have been a great opportunity to fight back, but unfortunately we didn't take it. Tao Qianglong's long-range shot hit the crossbar, and Xie Wenneng's single knife was also saved by the opposing goalkeeper. It's a shame that we didn't take advantage of these opportunities.
Entering the second half, the national Olympic team made a series of substitutions and adjustments in an attempt to change the situation on the field. But I have to say that in the face of the tight defense of the Japanese team, our attack still seems to be a little weak. Hu Hetao's corner kick was directly held up by the opposing goalkeeper, and at the last moment, coach Cheng Yaodong let the goalkeeper Jin Yong play as a cameo striker, although the idea was very novel, but in the end it was not able to rewrite the score.
Statistically, the Olympic team had the advantage in possession, shots on goal and corner kick opportunities, but in the end they still failed to win the game. Han Han believes that this reflects some of the problems we had in the game. For example, we need to improve our ability to grasp key moments, creativity on the offensive end, and consistency on the defensive end.
To be honest, the results of the national Olympic team since participating in the U23 Asian Cup are indeed not ideal. Having won only one of 13 games, this is a bit disappointing. But Han Han feels that failure is not terrible, the key is to find out the reasons from failure, and then strive to improve. After all, the game of football is a team sport that requires everyone's joint efforts and cooperation. As long as we can unite and continue to work hard, I believe that we will be able to achieve better results in the future.
Let's talk about the other games. The South Korean Olympic team defeated the UAE Olympic team 1-0, and this game can be said to be quite exciting. Although the South Korean team did not have the strongest squad, their strength should not be underestimated. In the game, South Korea had the absolute upper hand and threatened the UAE goal on several occasions. Finally, in the 94th minute, Lee Yongjun's header helped the South Korean team complete the stunner. This victory is undoubtedly a huge boost for the South Korean team and also lays a good foundation for their next matches.
The Iraqi Olympic team lost 0-2 to the Thai Olympic team, and this game can be said to be a big upset. As the champion of the first tournament, it is an indisputable fact that the strength of the Iraqi team has declined in recent years. But against a Southeast Asian team like Thailand, they should have had a certain advantage. Unfortunately, the Iraqi team did not play at their own level and was instead seized by the Thai team. A goal from Varys in the first half and a header from Tilasha in the second half gave Thailand an easy victory. The defeat was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Iraqi team and put their qualification from the group in jeopardy.
Through these matches, we can see that the strength and form of each team is different. Some teams are on a hot streak and are on the rise, while others are in a slump and in dire need of adjustment. But no matter what, the game goes on, and every game is a new beginning. For our Olympic team, although the loss in the first game is a bit regrettable, it does not mean that they have lost the opportunity. Instead, they should learn from this game and adjust their form to be ready for the rest of the game.
Hanhan believes that the football game is not only a battle of victory and defeat, but also a contest of spirit and will. In this process, we need to remain calm and rational, and not be swayed by the momentary victory or defeat. At the same time, we must also believe in our own strength and potential, and constantly strive to improve ourselves. Only in this way can we achieve better results in future competitions and win glory for the country and the people.
Overall, the first round of the U23 Asian Cup has given us a lot of inspiration and food for thought. Whether it's the joy of victory or the regret of defeat, it's part of the game of football. We should face these challenges and opportunities with a positive attitude and strive to improve our own strength and capabilities. I believe that in the near future, our Olympic team will be able to show more outstanding performance in the international arena!
Before ending today's sharing, Hanhan would like to remind everyone: Although the football game is exciting, you should also pay attention to the reasonable arrangement of your time and energy. After all, the body is the capital of the revolution! Okay, that's the end of today's oral broadcast, thank you for listening and supporting! See you next time!
