Today, let's talk about the poor performance of the Chinese Olympic team in the U23 Asian Cup.
The National Olympic Games fell into the abyss and set a record of shame, where does Chinese football go?
To get straight to the point, the national Olympic team suffered two consecutive defeats in this Asian Cup and missed the main match in advance. To make matters worse were the low-level mistakes they made in the game. It is not only a sigh, but also drags Chinese football into the abyss.
The national Olympic team has set a series of embarrassing records in this Asian Cup: 7 consecutive defeats, 5 games without scoring, 6 years without a win, 5 appearances in 5 group games, and 16 years of missing the Olympic Games...... This data is like a hammer. Hammering the dignity of Chinese football.
Even more incredible was in the match against South Korea. The Olympic team missed four great chances to open the scoring in just nine minutes in the first half. This kind of low-level mistake is rare in amateur teams, let alone national teams. Watching the young players be unthreatening in front of goal. Passing the ball to the opponent and the audience are probably angry and laughing.
In fact, the performance of the national Olympic team in recent years has been terrible, and it has never made it to the main event of the Olympic Games. And this time they suffered a historic Waterloo. As the future and hope of Chinese football, the sluggish state of the National Olympic team undoubtedly raises questions about the technical quality and professional attitude of the Chinese Super League players.
Even more tragic is that we are already on the verge of desperation. He did not participate in the Olympic Games in 16 years and lost the Asian Cup in 6 years. In such a state, it is difficult to imagine when Chinese football will regain its strength. Look at South Korea, Japan, they are already leading the way in Asian football. But we were still outside the door.
What is the root cause of such a dismal outcome? We need to think deeply. Maybe it's the shortcomings of the youth system, maybe it's the lack of football culture, or maybe it's the neglect of football in society as a whole?
The decline of Chinese football is by no means an overnight occurrence, let alone the responsibility of young players. We need to carry out all-round reflection and reform from the institutional level, otherwise Chinese football will be in a slump and will never turn over.
As fans, of course we are heartbroken. But at the same time, we should actively contribute to it. We love football and cherish the honor of the national football team. Let us work together to overcome the difficulties and regain the dignity of Chinese football with confidence and determination!
