On the evening of April 22, Beijing time, in the group stage of the U23 men's Asian Cup and Paris Olympic Games qualifiers, the Chinese U23 men's football team defeated the United Arab Emirates team 2:1, ending the journey of this Olympic preliminaries with a victory, and also breaking the embarrassing record of seven consecutive defeats in the Olympic preliminaries. Although it failed to qualify, it can be regarded as a "small year" for the national football team that has been defeated and defeated repeatedly!
A meaningless small victory has already surprised Chinese fans. Many people are already applauding Tao Qianglong and Xie Wenneng, and many people are also imagining the future for Liu Zhurun and Wang Yudong. But in fact, look at the technical statistics of the game that are behind in all aspects, 11:17 shots, 36:64 ball possession, 7:9 corner kicks, 6:1 yellow cards, and then think about the passive situation in the second half, Xiaobian is really not happy!
Look at our close neighbors Japan and South Korea, look at the former fish belly Vietnam and Indonesia that have reached the quarterfinals, look at the poor football environment in China, and then look at our national football team, which has missed the World Series for 16 consecutive years, and it is difficult to find a win in the U23 for six consecutive years... Chinese football owes too much debt, and such a victory really can't carry a lot of sorrow and can't quench much thirst! The first victory in the past three years reflects the embarrassment of Chinese football talent being cut off.
Rome wasn't built in one day. The strength of Japan and South Korea, the rise of Vietnam and Indonesia did not happen overnight, and they suddenly succeeded. For Chinese football to rise, it is by no means a day's work, and it takes several generations of people to be down-to-earth, climb over hurdles, and make unremitting efforts! Let's still base ourselves on the league, pay attention to youth training, and look to the future! Less rush for quick success and quick profit, grandstanding, more stepping stones, and move forward with heavy burdens. One step at a time is the right way!
