The Olympic team first went 0-0 into the UAE and then 2-1 into India in the Olympic preliminaries in September, becoming the second team in the best-of-four group to reach the final with two games, one win, one draw and four points.
To be honest, most fans, including most of the media, are not optimistic about the National Olympic team making it to the Paris Olympics. The main reason for this is that the team has not made any confident progress in almost four years under Sung Yiu Tung.
The above-mentioned "horse famous" has repeatedly reported the two-year overseas training of the national Olympic team with first-hand information, saying that the team can play more than 20 matches a year, which is unimaginable in China. Even in the summary report after this year's training, the media source also said that the results of the national Olympic team can be relegated in the Croatian League.
However, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan slapped this conclusion three times. Now Guoan, with an incomplete squad and a gap between league matches to guard against injuries and fatigue, has also been given an easy "stick". Perhaps, the tiger will not politely follow - unless it does not want to. Otherwise, the Olympic team will not accidentally lose the game.
Fans really don't understand how Ching Yiu Tung can be secure in his position as head coach. To say that the FA and the national team head coach have a contract that cannot be terminated is nonsense with eyes wide open. Not to mention, wouldn't Li's predecessor have been fired in the last 12 games?
Taking a step back, even if the warm-up results don't count, couldn't the leaders of the relevant authorities see that the national Olympic team played an extremely cowardly game in the Olympic preliminaries and the UAE? With India in the last minute of injury time, Nai Bijiang, who has not participated in overseas training, scored the winning goal. Advancing to the finals to glory?
After four years of training for a national team that is second only to the national team, and after four years of competing at such virtues, does no one think of changing the manager, improving the results, or at least playing better? Even if the so-called results, as "Ma Renowned" puts it, were pleasant victories in the warm-up matches, in addition to barely reaching the final of the Olympic qualifiers? Or has the Football Association's contract with Ching Yiu Tung to reach the Olympic qualifying final become a "hard truth" that cannot be stopped?
Compared to the U20 national soccer team at the U20 Asian Cup in March, can the Olympic team match anyone else in terms of attitude to the game, hustle and performance?
Japan advanced to the quarterfinals with a 1-2 win in their first match, as the U20s led 1-0 at halftime and didn't equalize until the 66th minute; in their second match against Saudi Arabia in Asia, the U20s won 2-0; and their final match was 1-1 in Kyrgyzstan to head into the knockout stage.
The U20 national soccer team also took a 1-1 penalty kick lead against South Korea in the knockout stage. However, after head coach Antonio was red-carded in overtime, South Korea scored two goals and the U20 national soccer team stopped at 1-3 in the last eight.
The U20 national soccer team, like the Olympic team, did not travel abroad during the three-year epidemic and did not invite foreign teams to warm-up matches in China; it was not even like the Olympic team, which was able to build two consecutive years of
