In Asian football, the Chinese Olympic team has once again become the focus, but this time it is not because of its outstanding performance, but because of its successive defeats to strong opponents in Japan and South Korea, which has caused widespread controversy. Substitute goalkeeper Kim Yong was deployed as a center forward, and coach Cheng Yaodong's "surprise victory" did not seem to work, but instead put the team in a bigger predicament. Whose fault is it that the Olympic team loses in a row? Is it the lack of ability of the players, or is it the wrong tactics of the coaches?
Looking back on the U23 Asian Cup, the performance of the Chinese Olympic team can be described as a big surprise. In the face of Asian powerhouses such as Japan and South Korea, the team seemed helpless and lost consecutive games. Especially the players in the 01 age group, they are expected to be high, but the reality is cruel. This team has been evaluated as the "worst batch" by the outside world, and most of the players have not even set foot on the stage of the Asian Junior Championship and the Asian Youth Championship, which can't help but make people question their strength.
It doesn't seem fair to put the blame squarely on the players. Football is a team sport, and the performance of players is often influenced by the tactics of the coach. In this competition, Coach Cheng Yaodong's tactical arrangement caused widespread controversy. In the first game against Japan, the team's performance was terrible, both offensively and defensively. Although Coach Cheng Yaodong was slammed by online violence after the game, we should also look at this defeat rationally. After all, the outcome of a football match is influenced by a variety of factors and cannot simply be blamed on the coach or the players.
In the second game against South Korea, coach Cheng Yaodong seems to have made some adjustments, but unfortunately, these adjustments have not brought about significant improvements. Despite the fighting spirit of the team on the pitch, the players still seemed to be unable to take their chances. South Korea scored on a rare opportunity to make it 1:0. Although the national Olympic team suppressed the attack of the South Korean team in the second half, it still failed to tie the score in the end and unfortunately lost.
The loss of this game once again raised questions about Coach Cheng Yaodong's coaching ability. Some people think that his technical and tactical concepts are outdated and cannot adapt to the development of modern football, while others think that the quality of his training is mediocre and that long-term training camps have not brought significant improvement. There are also some uncontrollable factors, such as the club's refusal to release people, the priority of the Asian Games team, etc., which have also had a great impact on the preparation and competition of the national Olympic team.
We can't ignore the problems of the players themselves. This group of players in the 01 age group does lack technical and tactical literacy, they lack experience in major tournaments, and they often seem helpless against strong opponents. In addition, the mentality and fighting spirit of the players are also important factors that affect the outcome of the game. The ability of the players to maintain their confidence and fighting spirit in the face of back-to-back defeats will be crucial to the future of the team.
In this controversial game, we can't help but ask: What is the future of the Olympic team, and can this team get out of the trough and usher in a revival? There may be no clear answers to these questions. But what we can be sure of is that both the coach and the players need to put in more effort and sweat to be able to achieve better results in future competitions.
We should also be aware of the difficulties and challenges faced by Chinese football in its progress and development. In addition to technical, tactical and personnel issues, it is also necessary to think and solve them from a broader perspective. For example, the popularization of football culture, the improvement of the youth training system, the improvement of the league level and so on. Only by making breakthroughs and progress in these aspects can Chinese football truly rise and move onto the world stage.
In this high-profile competition, we may see some problems and challenges in Chinese football, but we can also see hope and potential. Let's look forward to this young team achieving better results in future competitions and contributing to the rise of Chinese football. I also hope that the coaches and players can learn from this defeat, sum up the experience and prepare for the future games.
Although the consecutive defeats to Japan and South Korea in the National Olympic Games have caused widespread controversy and doubts, they have also shown us the difficulties and challenges faced by Chinese football in its progress and development. Let's look forward to a better tomorrow for Chinese football in the future!
In my opinion, the losing streak of the Olympic team is not accidental, but a concentrated manifestation of long-standing problems. Whether it is the tactical arrangement of the coach or the ability of the players, it needs to be deeply reflected and improved. At the same time, we cannot ignore the more macro issues such as football culture and the youth training system. Only by improving the level and strength of Chinese football in an all-round way can we achieve better results in the international arena.
