After their U23: After a crushing victory, this time it was going to be completely disbanded
defeated the UAE U23 2:1, and the national football team U23 drew a satisfactory end to the U23 Asian Cup.
From the start of the game, the two teams played relatively cautiously and did not have quick offensive and defensive rounds. The UAE scored a goal on the counter-attack at the beginning, but it was ultimately ruled out for offside. Then the young men of the national football team U23, after gradually adapting to the rhythm of the opponent, gradually played their own rhythm, Bai Helamu, Tao Qianglong and Xie Wenneng took turns to attack, helping the team to establish a certain offensive advantage.
In the 24th minute, the national football team U23 took advantage of the opportunity of a corner kick, and Xie Wenneng scored angrily in the penalty area, helping the national football team take the lead. Then the UAE U23 launched several counterattacks and also created a few good scoring opportunities, but after entering the stoppage time, the UAE goalkeeper played with fire, Liu Zhurun steal and burst to score again, and the national football U23 took a two-goal lead in the half.
Throughout the first half, the national U23 team had a certain advantage in possession, but in terms of creating more threats than the United Arab Emirates. The main offensive routines of the national football U23 team are defense, counterattack and set-pieces, and the counterattack after breaking the ball is very resolute, especially the rhythm change of the two wings, which makes the opponent's defense more headache.
The UAE did a better job of being very precise in their passing and conversion to the national team, creating at least two chances to score an absolute score, only to be offside once and a little hesitant on the other. In the second half, the UAE will definitely be desperate, and for the national football team U23, the task is very simple, as long as you defend well and be more resolute when counterattacking, you can!
Just three minutes into the second half, Nguyen Chi Long made a low-level mistake, and the opponent quickly pulled a goal back. After approaching the score, the United Arab Emirates is becoming more and more confident in the offensive end, whether it is a positional attack or a quick counterattack, it has created a good scoring opportunity, and the national football team is in front of the goal, and the one-goal advantage seems to be in jeopardy. Xie Wenneng and Jia Feifei received consecutive yellow cards in the passive defense, so as to block the opponent's onslaught. The decline in physical fitness has made the defense of the national football team U23 more passive, and the full-line defense has become the team's main tactical idea. After nearly 11 minutes of stoppage time, the national football team U23 finally won the victory with great difficulty.
Although the national football team U23 finally won this game, it was not a miserable victory!
If everyone is happy with the first half, then the second half will be our nightmare, and it will be the pain of the players' inner struggle.
Just 15 minutes into the second half, we saw that several players were obviously physically exhausted, such as Tao Qianglong, who was basically walking and kicking the ball. Another example is the defender Ruan Qilong, while panting for breath, there is a serious lack of oxygen, and there is always a big deviation when judging the landing point of the ball, so that the opponent has found a breakthrough from himself many times.
At this time, the UAE played more and more bravely, and the team received yellow cards one after another, one is to stop the opponent's attack and interrupt their passing fluency, but to give themselves and their teammates a chance to win the position and breathe.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the poor ability of the UAE to make the final kick, then the final score would definitely have changed, and no matter how bad it was, it would not have lost.
So compared to the 2-goal lead in the first half, the embarrassment in the second half is what everyone worries the most.
When it comes to the U23 Asian Cup, this event is the most sad thing that Chinese football wants to mention. Since 2103, until this session, it has been held for five times, but the national football U23 has never qualified!
The sad thing is not only that, mainly before this game, the national football team U23 won a total of one game, that is, 1 win and 13 losses!
Before the U23 Asian Cup, both the media and fans were basically not optimistic about the young men of the national football team. After all, in this group of death, what capital does the U23 national football team have to score points? Japan and South Korea are strong contenders for the championship, and it can be said that they have already booked their qualifying places. And the UAE U23, which is also half of the host, is more familiar with the hot weather in Qatar.
The national football team U23 won this battle of honor (maybe the "battle of face" is more appropriate), and the team will be officially disbanded after returning home. This dissolution is not a temporary departure, but a permanent separation. Because most of the players have reached the age of 22 or 23, they will not be needed in the next U23 Asian Cup. Years of training and competitions are over, and the next thing is their own fate.
The future depends on their performance in the club, and whether they can be selected for the national brand again (to be exact, the official national football team) depends entirely on their own ability.
