U23 can go home with his chest held high!
Why can the U23s, who have one win and two losses and have not completed the task of qualifying from the group, come back with their chests held high?
Because we have no illusions that they will be able to qualify in the encirclement and suppression of Japan and South Korea, and winning the UAE is already a complete task!
Don't be embarrassed, that's where we are. It's not just that this U23 group didn't qualify, the last one, and the last one...... None of us made it out of the group, and it's very rare to win once!
So this 2:1 victory over the UAE should be an improvement, at least it shows that they are better than their senior buddies, why can't they hold their chests high?!
However, it is not a big deal to be stronger than the weak, and we have to try to break our wrists with teams such as Japan and South Korea, so that we can come back with our heads held high.
Although in the game with South Korea, some players were not convinced by the result of the game, thinking that the goal kick could not solve the goal problem, which affected the team's results!
But that, in itself, is where the gap lies. South Korea didn't play very well against China, but we still couldn't score and get points, which shows that we need to work on more.
Although before returning to China, the head coach, Yang Xu, the vice chairman of the leadership of the Football Association and the players, made a public summary, and the leaders of the Football Association put forward "a thank you, two thanks, and three gifts", although they are not very satisfied with the general meaning, they also feel that they can explain the past.
The players are more unwilling, and what will happen if it does...... This is a good thing, at least I can recognize my own shortcomings, have hope for my future, and have hope for the future of Chinese football!
This is a more positive view of this game and this U23 Asian Cup, although it is not a very young team, we still focus on encouragement, after all, this is also a leader, the domestic youth training is such a level, and it may be worse if you change others.
Some people say that if Cheng Yaodong gets out of class, he may be qualified by a foreign coach! Haha, don't think about good things, the head coach does have a relationship, but it is still 11 people who play football on the field!
From the repeated defeats of the senior team to the repeated defeats of youth teams at all levels, Chinese football has become accustomed to losing, and Chinese fans have become numb to losing, and they don't know when the miracle of 2002 will appear again?!
Looking at the future from the U23s, this group of players will become the backbone of Chinese football in three to five years, do you think they will be able to succeed in the finals of the next World Cup?
Judging from the current gap, it is very difficult! It is said that our Chinese football is a late-maturing special case, the average age of the national team is too old, the age structure is unreasonable, 30+ occupies most of the starting positions, and it is strange that such an elderly team is vigorous!
Grow and mature as soon as possible, you can't afford to wait, and we fans can't afford to wait!
