People who pay attention to Chinese soccer have been discussing a good news in the past two days - in the final round of the group stage of the 2023 u20 Men's Asian Cup in Uzbekistan, the Chinese team drew with Kyrgyzstan 1:1, and finally ranked second in group d with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, and once again advanced to the top eight of the u20 Asian Cup after 9 years.3 On March 12, the U20 national football team will face South Korea in the quarter-finals.
Before this game, I'm afraid not many people can boldly predict that this u20 national football team can pass the examination and advance to the semifinals. 9 years later, once again advancing to the semifinals of the u20 Asian Cup is exciting and significant.
First of all, this breaks the embarrassment of China u20 in this tournament for the past 9 years, and realizes the breakthrough of self-achievement. Secondly, according to the regulations of the u20 Asian Cup, as long as this team can win their next match against the "Taiji Tigers" of South Korea, they can continue to set new records and advance to the u20 World Cup (World Youth Championship) with their heads held high. If all goes well, we will return to the World Youth Championship stage in 18 years, which is self-evident. More importantly, the U20 national football team's success in advancing to the semi-finals at this time casts a bright light on Chinese soccer in the mist, giving everyone confidence and strength.
Frankly speaking, this u20 national soccer team does not have an advantage in the "death group" of this battle. From the point of view of the team composition, this team does not have players with particularly bright and outstanding abilities. From the process of the game and the scene, the field possession and "battle" initiative does not have a great advantage, individual time even a little passive. So, how did this u20 national soccer team pass the exam to advance to the quarter-finals? The phrase "luck" is obviously biased. After the match, the captain of the u20 national soccer team, Efirdin, said something worth listening to - "Our tactical execution, we are very united and have the belief that we can win".
Yes, the secret of the u20 national soccer team's advancement is not complicated, that is, unity, conviction to win, and tactical execution. Because of the unity, even if the players have different abilities and talents, they can also make up for each other's "shortcomings" in the scene. Because there is a will to win, even if the distance is thorny and muddy, can only go through the hardship; because of the tactical execution, the players on the field of organization and discipline, technical and tactical dynamic adjustment, can help "advantages and disadvantages of the kinetic energy conversion", thinking a place, efforts a place. This is too important for Chinese soccer nowadays, and even a bit long overdue.
Competitive sports are brutal. Many matches have proved that results come second to attitude. As a matter of fact, as long as the players are firm in their beliefs, united and disciplined, it often makes a difference. In the past few years, whenever we stop early in various games "failure", the sense of honor of the national football players, the desire to win, worry about injuries, etc., which will from time to time become the fans and the media. This will from time to time become the object of discussion among fans and the media. This u20 team through their own actions to tell everyone: seize the foundation of youth training, popularize the soccer atmosphere, seize the level of professional league, although it is the path of our development, but at present every team is the most important.
In the ever-changing game, soccer is round and there is no absolute strong and weak. Just need to really unite, good luck is waiting for you ahead.
