On April 22, Beijing time, the top 8 of the U23 Asian Cup were released, and they were Qatar, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Iraq. In the top 8, there are three teams in Central and Western Asia, two teams in East Asia and Southeast Asia, and it is the norm for the Chinese team to be out, but Vietnam and Indonesia, which are small countries and weak teams that we couldn't look down on before, have played better results than the Chinese team, which can't help but make fans sigh.
We are amazed at the progress of Vietnam and Indonesia is that we pay little attention to them, the youth training of the Vietnamese team is in the Arsenal club of England, and most of the players in Indonesia are naturalized players. However, the Chinese team finally won a battle of honor, and you must know how precious this victory is, ending the embarrassing record of six consecutive defeats and five games without scoring in the U23 Asian Cup.
The first game against the Japanese team was scared to death, there were 80 minutes when we had one more person, we had a chance to draw or even win, but the result was buried in our own hands because of timidity, and we lost 0-1; in the second game against South Korea, we were not on our side, and the kick in front of the goal was too bad, and finally we played a normal score of 0-2;
In the third game, the Chinese team let go, and pressed the opponent to play in the first half, which can be said to be the real level of Chinese football, but in the second half, the opponent made personnel adjustments, and the Chinese team also had problems with physical fitness, and the whole team did not pass a good ball in the last 40 minutes, and without physical fitness, it could only rely on fouls, but fortunately, the UAE played averagely, which kept the 2-1 victory. Three games, one win and two losses, the group was out, and there were no surprises.
Putting aside the details of Chinese players' slow movements, fear of pressing, and inability to control the ball, let's take a look at the mistakes of China's U23 strategy in the general direction. The team has been training in Europe for several years, 200 out of 365 days abroad, and a lot of money has been spent but nothing has been done.
In the past few years, there have been hundreds of mobile players, but when it comes to forming a team, they can't make a team, and they have to transfer people from the next echelon.
In the end, all the problems are blamed on two things, the first is whether the policy of overseas training is useful, which does not seem to make much sense now, it is just a situation;
Second, to find a capable coach, Cheng Yaodong is definitely not good, with him, there is no difference between practicing at home and practicing abroad, the same training is wasted, so finding a suitable and practical Japanese and Korean coach is more suitable for China's national conditions.
Fortunately, Cheng Yaodong's answer to the Olympic exit is not the worst result, and the next U23 will be the worst group of people! >>> a great place to watch football: live sports events and replays are free to watch| Link3
