On April 19, Beijing time, the Qatar U23 men's Asian Cup was in full swing, and the fate of the Chinese team was like a weight hanging on the scale, swaying. In Group B with Japan, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates, the road to qualification is more difficult than climbing to the sky. In the first round against Japan, although we have the advantage in numbers, football is not something that can be won by a large number of people, and the result is a 0:1 defeat, which is embarrassing. Then, against South Korea, it was another situation that made people sigh, and 5 shots on goal slipped away, like a boiled duck flying. On the football field, opportunities are fleeting, and if you can't catch them, you can't catch them, and they are not negotiable. Kang Sang-yun's wonderful pass and Lee Yong-jun's volley are like telling us that football is not only about strength and speed, but also about the art of wisdom and timing.
Speaking of this game, our boys started with a rainbow of momentum, and several fast attacks were eye-catching, especially Baihelamu's several single-handed meetings, and almost sent the ball into the opponent's door, which made people's hearts beat faster. However, the most feared thing on the football field is "a little bit worse", because it is equal to a thousand miles away. The South Korean team's defensive counterattack was very popular, but on our side, there was a lot of thunder and little rain. With an easy straight stopper, Li Yongjun scored easily, and our side was still standing still.
In the second half, a dramatic scene was staged, our mistakes became someone else's wedding dress, the Korean team's counterattack was as fast as lightning, and Lee Yongjun made another contribution, and his heart suddenly cooled in half. Substitutions, changing formations, this is a routine operation, Cheng Yaodong's guidance is also fighting, pushing the goalkeeper Jin Yong to the front line, 2.01 meters tall, it looks shocking. It's a pity that football doesn't just speak based on height, it pays attention to the whole and tacit understanding. In the end, the 0:2 ending was like a basin of cold water poured down, sober, but also cold.
Football, the world's biggest sport, is not only a test of technique and tactics, but also of will and determination. Although the Chinese team is on the verge of being out, we still need to remember that "failure is the mother of success", and every fall is to get up better. In the next final game, facing the United Arab Emirates, even if there is no hope of qualifying, we must fight with all our might, because every game is an explanation to ourselves and a commitment to the fans. The road of football is winding and winding, but we still have to go on. Come on, lads of the national football team, I believe that in the near future, you will perform your own legend on the world stage.
