U20 Asian Cup second round, China beat Saudi Arabia 2-0 to win the first victory, the victory is significant, is the first victory of Chinese soccer in 2023, but also for the team's next set of qualification laid a solid foundation, the final round to grasp the qualification initiative, as long as the advancement, or even a draw or a loss, the opportunity to advance.
One man's performance was crucial in the 2-0 win over Saudi Arabia. He was arguably the first hero of the team's win. That man was Efirdin, who wore the No. 7 jersey and the captain's armband. He was quick to launch a threatening attack from the right side of the field and eventually took part in two goals that helped his team take the three points 2-0.
In the 63rd minute of the second half of the match between China and Saudi Arabia, Efirdin took the ball on the right side of the road and fought with a Saudi player 1v1. After flashing the opponent's defense, he passed the ball in the narrow space of the defender and assisted his teammate Mutalifu to score a goal.6 minutes later, Efirdin broke through on the right and gave the ball to Mutalifu, who assisted Xu Bin to score a goal.
These two counter-attacking chances, Efirdin is quite exquisite in vision and passing time space, it can be said that he is the hero behind the goals, in addition to participating in the two goals, Efirdin also won the team's set-pieces, it can be said that he is the absolute core of the team's attacking end, and the whole team's defensive counter-attacking tactics around him at this point.
In a 1-2 loss to Japan in the first round, Efirdin's penalty corner allowed the opponent to set up his own goal. In other words, after two rounds of matches, Efirdin scored three goals. He deserves the No. 7 jersey and the captain's armband! He has also become the hope for the future of Chinese soccer. In the 2-0 win over Saudi Arabia, famous player Dong Lu confessed that some of Efirdin's behaviors were like Ronaldo.
Today's Efirdin is known as the national youth c Luo, we also expect Efirdin not arrogant, in the next career have a more perfect play, why c Luo can become a double pride, self-discipline has become the biggest factor, on the contrary, the Chinese soccer, many talented players are always playing the role of injury in the eternal, which is the next Efirdin to avoid the main factors.
Last season, Efirdin played for Evergrande, making 23 appearances, contributing 1 goal and 3 assists, but receiving 4 yellow cards and 2 red cards. From these figures, it can be seen that Efirdin still needs to improve on his emotional control, which is also a reflection of the young player's less experience in the league. I believe that after various matches, Efirdin will become more and more mature, and become the "Chinese Crow!" that the media and fans are looking forward to.
Of course, in the back of Aifeldin and Xu Bin, we must thank Evergrande, is the Evergrande soccer school training, there are Aifeldin, Xu Bin and other talented players, I believe that the Evergrande soccer school will have more seedlings to stand up and take on the hope of the rise of Chinese soccer, at this moment, Evergrande soccer school deserves praise.
