Before the U23 Asian Cup, the Chinese men's soccer team had a very dismal record. Before that, we participated in four U23 Asian Cups, with a total of 1 win and 11 losses. That is to say, we never participated in the group stage and basically we lost all of them. There was only one match held locally. We had beaten Bahrain to win the first victory in the history of the U23 Asian Cup, but I think we can expect a little bit from China's U23 men's soccer team after watching these three warm-up matches.
In fact, this year's results for China's youth teams are somewhat impressive. Last summer, we won the U15 East Asian Cup, beating Japan and South Korea. At the U20 Asian Cup, we were then also divided into a group of death, with defending champions Saudi Arabia and current champions Japan. As a result, we lost to Japan beat Saudi Arabia and pressed the defending champions to enter the knockout rounds in second place in the group. In the knockout round, we played South Korea for 90 minutes and were eliminated in overtime. So the influence of the adult national team is not bad.
The U23 Olympics are still missing three of their main teams in this match against Qatar. Among them, the team has only one goalkeeper, Huang Zihao, who remains a chaperone due to the goal shortage. Under normal circumstances, he can't enter the Olympics. In addition, due to the competition in the Chinese Super League, Xie Wenneng and Tao Qianglong from the side can not participate in this training. If these three positions are strengthened again, China's U23 men's soccer team is still very good.
