The U20 Asian Cup was in full swing and the Chinese men's soccer team brought a huge surprise to fans across the country. Squeezing out defending champions Saudi Arabia to reach the last eight was a huge victory to be proud of. Next up, China will face a stronger South Korean team, one of the best in Asia, in the knockout rounds. If the Chinese men's soccer team can beat their opponents, they will enter the quarterfinals. More importantly, they will get a ticket to the World Junior Championships and play against the top teams in the world. Therefore, the Chinese men's soccer team should not be satisfied with their current results, but should make more efforts to win more victories in the Asian Cup.

The National Youth Football Team has made a big splash in the Asian Cup, and many media people and journalists have praised it. Former national football player Fan Zhiyi posted a message at 8:00 p.m., doubting that the Chinese men's football team reached the top 8 of the Asian Cup. Fan Zhiyi wrote: "Although I always say I don't want to have a face, I hope Chinese soccer will get better and better." At that time, the national football team 1-5 defeated Thailand, Fan Zhiyi was very angry. He angrily criticized the national football players for "not wanting to have a face", which became the most classic speech in Chinese soccer and is still quoted by many fans.

Fan Zhiyi participated in a variety show and he posted a video clip on social media. In it, Fan Zhiyi told the actors, including Deng Chao and Lu Han, about his time playing in the national soccer team. The national soccer players at that time were very focused. Even though there were 60,000 people cheering for them on the pitch, the national soccer players, including Fan Zhiyi, couldn't hear them because all their spirits were focused on the game. Fan Zhiyi's last punctuation seemed to comment on the National Youth Football Team's advancement to the last eight this time. "A bit of luck, but strength is a prerequisite." Fan was telling stories from his time at the tournament, but considering the current National Youth Cup surprisingly made it to the Yazhiyi.

After the Chinese men's soccer team advanced to the last eight, many fans believe that the national youth team was able to get out of the group with a certain amount of luck, but as General Fan said, luck is part of the equation and strength is a prerequisite. In the three matches of the group stage, China was leading Japan 1-0 at one point, but it was reversed, unfortunately. In the second match, China scored 2 goals in 7 minutes, which is definitely a reflection of strength. Players such as Efirdin and Mutalifu, for example, ran extremely well and were very decisive in their defensive counterattacks. This is also the technique and tactics instilled by Coach Antonio. Don't play footsies, that is, seize the opponent's defensive loopholes.

The match between the National Youth Football League (NYFL) and Kyrgyzstan did have some luck. Despite the 1-1 draw, both goals were scored by the opponents, and China laughed at Kyrgyzstan's ould goal. However, without the sharp counter-attack of Efirdin, the opponent would not have made a mistake in the busy time and there would not have been an oolong. As a result, China had a successful Asian Cup. Although he was lucky, his strength was more important. It must be said that Fan Zhiyi is one of the greatest stars of Chinese soccer. After his retirement, he has been paying attention to Chinese soccer and has hit the nail on the head with many issues. Getting to the key points.
