The first team in the group, the North Korean women's football team, played against the second Chinese women's football team in the group, fighting for a qualification for the U17 World Cup, and the team that reached the final can advance to the U17 World Cup finals with this honor.
The North Korean women's football team won all three games in the group stage, the Chinese women's football team won the first two games of the group stage, and the third game encountered the more outstanding Japanese women's football team.
The North Korean women's football team is indeed the existence of a better team in the U17 age group in Asia, although Van Egmund studied the North Korean women's football team even to the point of madness, and still exposed a lot of its own shortcomings in the game at 7 o'clock tonight, due to the Chinese women's football goalkeeper's mistake in the attack, the North Korean women's football team seized one of the few shooting opportunities in the whole game, scored the ball, and this goal was also the only goal of the game.
The difference in strength is undoubtedly revealed from the beginning of the transfer of personnel! The physical advantage of the North Korean women's football team is very good, and the Chinese women's football team has experienced a decline in physical fitness over time, and the movements have been deformed, and the deformed movements have formed a series of negative effects, if it were not for the North Korean women's football team's ability to grasp it a little better, the score difference in this game is not only 1-0, but most likely to reach 3-0 data.
Van Egmund was very chaotic on the spot, some substitutions were really not considered, wanting to attack but afraid of the increased pressure at the back, pressing all the way to try to score but not hoarding troops in the enemy's hinterland, the slightest careless opportunity was fleeting.
The North Korean women's football team advanced to the final with its head held high with the only goal in the first half, and the Chinese women's football team also had to compete with the South Korean women's football team for an admission ticket to the U17 World Cup.
After the game, Van Egmund talked about what the players did well and what they didn't. The tactics are not very standardized, due to the decisive front-court pressing of the North Korean women's football team, resulting in the women's football girls have not been in the best state for a long time, and the early loss of the goal has also made the team in a haze, and it is difficult to break through the encirclement. This game should sum up the experience, if the next game is still the strength reflected in this game, basically missed the qualification for the U17 World Cup finals, the South Korean women's football team is a respectable opponent, but the South Korean women's football team is not an invincible opponent, correct their mentality, in order to make the game to the Chinese women's football more favorable direction. But judging from the tone of Van Egmund's response to reporters' questions, the confidence he had before this game was completely lacking after the defeat.
