When the flames of the U23 Asian Cup are extinguished on the green field, many fans may still have a trace of regret in their hearts. The Chinese Olympic team won 1 and lost 2 in this group stage, and finally ranked third in the group and failed to advance to the knockout round. However, behind this failure, head coach Cheng Yaodong saw a glimmer of hope, a story of growth, challenges and future dreams.
The difficult journey of the National Olympic Games and the subtle change of mentality
In this event, the Chinese Olympic team is in the same group as Japan and South Korea, two top Asian teams, and is facing great pressure and challenges. Although the Chinese team did not win against these strong teams, Cheng Yaodong still believes that this is a valuable training opportunity for the team's young players. He said: "If we weren't in such a 'group of death', we might have had more chances to qualify. ”
In the summary after the game, Cheng Yaodong admitted that although he failed to achieve the goal of entering the Olympic Games, the team's mental outlook and technical and tactical execution have been significantly improved. From failing to reach the Asian Youth Championship to catching up with the Asian level, although this progress is not conspicuous, it is enough to let people see the potential and future of Chinese football.
Expectation and reality are intertwined
For the majority of fans, every international match is not only a test of players, but also a test of the level of national football. Although the performance did not meet everyone's expectations, many supporters expressed their encouragement and support for the young players in the comments section and on social media. They believe that as long as they maintain such an enterprising and continuous learning attitude, Chinese football will one day be able to compete with the strongest teams in Asia and even the world.
Cheng Yaodong's vision and determination
Cheng Yaodong is full of expectations for the future, saying: "We must learn to find lessons from failures and grow from setbacks. He hopes that in the future, China's national teams at all levels will have the opportunity to play against strong teams in Asia more frequently, and improve the team's overall competitive state and game experience through these high-level competitions.
In the field of hope, the future can be expected
Although the national Olympic team failed to achieve its wish this time, we can feel an indomitable spirit from Cheng Yaodong's words. Every step can be difficult on the bumpy road of football, but it is these difficulties that build the tenacity of the team.
Let's continue to pay attention to the future of the Chinese Olympic team, and I believe that in the near future, they can bring us more surprises. Perhaps in the next competition, we can see a new and more powerful Chinese Olympic Games, which can truly compete on the Asian and even world stage.
