When we played the second round match against South Korea, Head Coach Djurdjevic arranged for players such as Dai Weijun and Wu Shaochong to get more playing time. In the end, we defeated Korea with a score of 1-0. Regardless of the process to win, the victory really gave the Chinese team confidence. The player who scored the goal was Sun Qinhan, who played the 69th minute in this game. He was forced to leave because he had cramps. Wu Shaocong also played almost 70 minutes in the whole match and eventually left due to injury. This shows that the Chinese U24 men's soccer team carried the spirit of hard work to the extreme in this game.
Compared to the South Korean U24 men's soccer team, I believe there is really a big gap between China and South Korea. Even with the addition of Tan Long Barton and Gao Tianyi to our U24 national soccer team, we are really weaker than South Korea. Throughout the game, France dominated more possession and offense. After scoring in the first half, China adopted the tactical feature of dumping the bus. This kept the Chinese U24 men's soccer team in this match with a 1-0 victory.
In the 45th minute of the first half, overage player Barton and U24 player Sun Qinhan entered the inverted triangle play. Helped China to score a goal. Barton provided the assist and Sun Qinhan scored directly. At the end of the first half, China was leading 1-0. In the whole game, China only scored two square shots and one goal. It also shows that China team has a strong ability to grasp offensive opportunities and cherish every chance to launch an attack and take a shot.
Throughout the second half, the Chinese team adopted the tactic of dumping buses. This tactic obviously works in official matches. Weak teams can tie with strong teams or even win. But through the tactic of dumping buses, Korea's particles were finally confiscated in the second half. Along with the victory, we also saw the gap between China and Korea. We should know that in the whole game, all the main players such as Dai Weijun and Wu Shaochong played and got more playing time. Moreover, Wu Shaocong and Sun Qinhan were injured and replaced in the battle, and their fighting spirit reached their extreme.
On the flip side, the U24 national soccer team's two warm-up matches against South Korea in the Asian Games were more about practicing our checkbook formations. At the same time, the match wins were really needed to boost the team's self-confidence. Obviously, the 1-0 record gave the Optimizer Quadrupeds the confidence they needed. This sets the stage for a good performance in the next Asian Games.
Moreover, through the warm-up matches against South Korea, we have a better understanding of the strengths of the strongest teams in Asia. We are the main team for the Asian Games, which also helps us understand the tactical lineups of our opponent teams for the Asian Games. In addition, China's overage players for the Asian Games actually have the opportunity to be replaced. For example, if you don't have enough experience, you can have Zhang Linmiao help you. The veteran Tan Long on the offensive line is working hard, but Wu Lei is clearly in the best shape of the game at the moment. Wu Lei can be replaced. Therefore, the U24 national soccer team has great hope to do well or even win the Asian Games.
