Beijing time on March 10, Chinese soccer suddenly came the news. The Chinese National Youth Football Team overwhelmed Saudi Arabia with 1 win and 1 draw, and entered the quarterfinals with the second place in the group. They will face the mighty Korean National Youth. In this regard, the Korean media revealed that since the final of the 2004 Asian Youth Championship, the Korean National Youth remained undefeated against China with 7 wins and 1 draw, which is obviously a major blow to the Chinese National Youth team.
As we all know, China's men's national team at all levels has been staying away from the World Championships in recent years. As a result, it was hoped that the Chinese national youth team could further defeat South Korea to enter the 2023 World Youth Championship in Indonesia. However, despite the national youth team's success in reaching the quarterfinals, they are only one step away from the World Youth Championship. But judging from the previous three group matches, the national youth team still had major shortcomings, especially against the unheralded Kyrgyzstan team.
In this regard, the Korean media Seoul News issued an article saying that the Korean National Youth and the Chinese National Youth have an absolute advantage in their historical record of fighting. In 18 games, the Chinese national youth won only 3 games, since 2004, the Korean national youth has been undefeated.
From the Seoul News report, it is clear that the Chinese National Youth are at an absolute disadvantage in their all-time record against the South Korean National Youth. Although the media did not disclose specific information, this situation is clearly a bad sign for the Chinese National Youth, which means that there is absolutely no hope for the Chinese National Youth to advance to the World Junior Championships, and fans have been spitting in their faces.
A fan said:Â "With the style of play against Saudi Arabia, high steals and defensive counterattacks still have a chance. Although eliminating South Korea is a small probability, it's worth looking forward to!" Some fans said:Â "Nothing is set in stone. Even if you're not as skilled as others, you have to play with your fighting spirit, play good defense, try to drag it out until the penalty shootout, and then beat South Korea through penalty kicks!"
Of course there are also fans who say: "It's not easy for the Chinese national youth to get out of the group. It's not realistic to win against Korea. Strength is there! Besides, this national youth is still a long way from Chen Tao, Zhou Haibin, Zhao Xuri. Can Efirdin play as a starter in the Chinese Super League?" "Come on! Historical records are for breaking. Expect China u20 to dare to shine and break the record!"
