Last night, Chinese soccer had a proud moment. The national youth team won the top 12 places in the U20 Asian Cup. Saudi Arabia, the opponent that the national soccer team could not win, seized the initiative to advance. During the match, 18-year-old young star Xu Bin impressed. The Evergrande Football School-trained star scored the crucial goal. Prior to that, his world-class stopping showed a significant improvement in Evergrande's basic skills!
In this game, 18-year-old Xu Bin performed well and managed to secure a starting position in the team. Previously, he has been given several chances to play in the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup in the Guangzhou team. As an outstanding representative of Evergrande's football school, Xu Bin was also trusted by Spanish coach Antonio. He scored a key goal in the 72nd minute of the game, showing that he has the characteristics of a "small Paulinho" figure, which also shows people the B2B midfielder in the cutting edge of the soccer world.
Apart from the goal, Xu Bin's stop in the 16th minute of the game was even more commendable, and it was a difficult stop for a Chinese player after a long time. It was a header by China near midfield. After the ball fell, facing the fierce snatch of Saudi players, Xu Bin, while stopping the turn in an emergency, stopped the high ball firmly on his feet, avoiding the break of the Saudi players. The scene also had shades of future top stars!
Due to psychological factors or high pressure, Chinese players often make mistakes in stopping the ball in international matches, and their basic skills are worrying. As a young player trained by Evergrande Soccer School for 10 years, Xu Bin undoubtedly embodies different characteristics from the past. In addition, as a midfielder, Xu Bin's ball-breaking has also left a deep impression!
In the 26th and 60th minutes of the game, Xu Bin completed two key steals in the midfield, which also showed his excellent defensive awareness and all-around individual ability, and the goal in the second half was the result of his tireless running. It has to be said that 18-year-old Xu Bin was undoubtedly the biggest gain for the Chinese national youth team last night. He is also looking forward to entering the national soccer team as soon as possible and becoming the "Paulinho" of the Chinese team! (Old Qiu's Chinese Super League commentary)
