On April 22, Beijing time, in the final round of Group B of the U-23 Asian Cup, the Chinese Olympic Games played against the United Arab Emirates. In this campaign, as long as the Chinese Olympic Games score points, it will rewrite history, but because the number of yellow cards is "ahead", the only way to avoid the embarrassment of being at the bottom is to win.
China lost 0-1 to Japan and South Korea 0-2 in the first two rounds of the Olympic Games, and was eliminated from the group in one round ahead of schedule after two consecutive defeats. The United Arab Emirates, on the other hand, lost exactly the same as the Chinese team, losing 0-1 to South Korea and losing 0-2 to Japan, both of which were out of the tournament early after two consecutive defeats, and the goal difference was -3.
However, the UAE has only received 4 yellow cards so far, while the Chinese team has 6 players with yellow cards, in other words, in the case of a draw, the UAE will beat the Chinese team in 3rd place, and the Chinese team is at the bottom. If the number of red and yellow cards in the final round of the two teams does not change, the Chinese team can only avoid the embarrassment of being at the bottom of the group by winning.
The Chinese Olympic Games and the United Arab Emirates Olympic Games met in the preliminary stage, but the two teams drew 0-0. And in that game, the performance of the two teams is indescribable, so when they meet again, the key point for the Chinese team to win is how well it performs on the offensive end, if Tao Qianglong, Bai Helamu, and Xie Wen can squander a lot of opportunities as in the first two games, the hope of the Chinese team winning will be extremely slim.
And in the previous experience of the U-23 Asian Cup, except for winning one as the host in Jiangsu in 2018, the Chinese team has never had a history of winning, and in the U-23 Asian Cup held in other countries, the Chinese team still lost all the records.
In this game against the United Arab Emirates, the Chinese team will make history if they score points, and winning can avoid the embarrassment of being at the bottom of the group.
