The Chinese men's soccer team has gone into full training mode, and every national team has a habit of training for long periods of time. The reason may be related to the lack of professionalism and self-discipline of the players in the music department. The national team must utilize long term training to strengthen the spirit, improve physical fitness and technical and tactical levels.2023 March, Chinese men's soccer youth and youngsters have shown courage and proved that long term training is effective, at least in the current competition, while there is good enough spirit in the game to try to make up for the lack of skill.
In the past two days, China's men's soccer Junior (U17 National Football Team) jumped 2 levels to win the Cup runner-up, to participate in the U19 Sino-German Cup, the group stage 1-0 beat Shanghai Port U19 (free kick break), 3-1 beat Hebei U19 (Chen Rui, Qui Jifeng, Wang Yudong each scored a goal), to enter the finals of the first place in the B group, and the first place in the A group, Shanghai Shenhua U19 to compete for the championship trophy. In the final, the National Junior Team had 0-1 behind, with Kang Hua's goal to tie, both sides in regular time 1-1, dragged into the penalty kicks to decide the victory, in the penalty kicks process, the psychological disadvantage of the junior players exposed, the three penalty kicks, the final penalty kicks 1-3, the total score of 2-4 lost to the Shanghai Shenhua U19, won the runner-up.
Although it was unfortunate that the National Junior finished as runners-up, they played a positive game, winning 2 and drawing 1 in regular time with a small number of matches. Next, they went against the odds and went to Europe to train for a month under Coach Yang Chen in preparation for the U17 Asian Cup in June. The Chinese men's youth are competing in the U20 Asian Cup, and they have been very impressive. They beat their Asian No. 1 brothers Japan 1-2 in the first round and showed strong offense and defensive toughness in the second round. They toppled defending champions Saudi Arabia U20 2-0, with Efirdin, trained by Evergrande Youth Training, going for an assist and Xu Rongcheng 1 goal.
The national youths are in Group D, the Asian Cup's Group of Death, where Japan and Saudi Arabia are the favorites to win the tournament, and Kyrgyzstan U20 have a strong fight in them as well. They beat and eliminated the UAE in the qualifiers. The last two times the National Youth started warm-up matches with the UAE, they drew 1 and lost 1. As you can see, the National Youth were not optimistic about this group from the start. Leader Shao Jiayi said straight away that the team's probability of advancing to the knockout stage and impacting the World Youth Championship was only 20%, but the team would not give up.
A seemingly simple statement that is hard to prove with actions, but the national youth players did it anyway. With excellent defense and tenacious fighting spirit, they managed to win the second round of life and death match, defeating the defending champions, completing the direct surpassing of the defending champions and forcing Saudi Arabia and Japan into a desperate situation. The standings show that the national youths are temporarily second in the death group with 3 points and hold a goal difference advantage, while Saudi Arabia has 3 points and a goal difference of -1, and is wrestling with Japan in the final round, which is 6 points ahead and has a goal difference of 4. Saudi Arabia can only advance to the bounce back if they try to beat Japan in the final round, while the National Youth can sit back and steadily advance if they beat Kyrgyzstan. Both the National Youth and the National Youth are on the right track, stick with it and the future is something to look forward to.
