On April 20, in the second round of the U23 Asian Cup group stage that ended last night, the U23 national football team lost 0-2 to the South Korean team, and Japan defeated the United Arab Emirates 2-0 in another group game, which means that Japan and South Korea have qualified ahead of schedule, and the U23 national football team has also been eliminated in one round in advance, not only missing the quarterfinals, but also Chinese football completely missed the Paris Olympics.
Because South Korea's team is not the strongest team in this age group in China, there are still many opportunities to score after the opening of the U23 national football team in this game, but unfortunately none of them have been grasped, and in the 34th minute of the game, Lee Yongjun of the South Korean team took the lead in scoring a goal, and in the 69th minute, Lee Yongjun scored two goals, and finally lost 0-2 to South Korea U23. The Chinese team had 36% possession and fewer shots on goal than South Korea 9 to 13.
This game once again exposed the U23 national football team's poor shooting skills, the lack of ability to grasp the opportunity, in fact, there were chances in the whole game, but there were 4-5 good chances to score were wasted, in the international arena, if the very good scoring opportunities were wasted again and again, then only themselves were punished.
In addition to the ability to grasp the opportunity in front of the goal, the technical roughness of the U23 national football team was completely exposed again, and the U23 national football players who had decreased in physical fitness in the second half wasted many opportunities to organize attacks, and the mistake in the 78th minute can be said to have no reason, no one pressed, and the ball could be stopped for dozens of meters, which really made people have nothing to say.
The U23 national football team still maintains the "excellent tradition" of the national football team in the past two rounds of games, that is, not only can it be eliminated early, but also cannot score a single goal. After two games in this tournament, they have conceded three goals, and have not scored a single goal, and have been eliminated early. The U23 national football team that hit the Paris Olympics was not optimistic about itself, but it didn't expect it to be so bad, not only failed to qualify from the group, but was eliminated ahead of schedule. In this way, the Chinese men's football team and the Chinese women's football team missed the Paris Olympics early, which can be called a complete spectator of this competition.
