This kind of jump to the National Olympic team is very rare in the history of Chinese soccer. Since Xu Genbao coached the first Chinese National Olympic team to the Barcelona Olympic qualifiers, the National Olympic team has never had such a young squad. In this tournament, the emergence of Du Yue Miao and Wang Yudong not only broke this record, but also brought new possibilities to the National Olympic team.
While this youthful trend stems from the inconsistency of youth soccer training in China and the current lack of available talent, it has also brought new energy to Chinese soccer. Du Yuezheng and Wang Yudong are even thought to have a chance to play in the next two Olympic Games, which will include the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. This is undoubtedly an important support and expectation for the future of Chinese soccer.
