preliminary competition
In the second match, China defeated Northern Marianas 11:0. Yang Chen, head coach of the Chinese U-17 national men's soccer team, and Wang Yudong, who was selected as the best player of the match, attended the post-match press conference.
For this game, Yang Chen commented: "affected by the epidemic, the opportunity to come to the competition is rare, this I hope that some of the players who did not play before can get the opportunity to exercise, of course, the goal difference is also very important to us. I feel that the Northern Marianas team has prepared well, and we played a difficult game today, but the players did their best. The last game against Australia is a real battle."
Asked if he was confident of defeating Australia, Yang Chen replied, "Everyone will be prepared for this match against Australia. After watching the Australian team's match against Cambodia in a while, there will be a more accurate evaluation of the Australian team."
Wang Yudong, who scored four goals after coming on as a substitute in the second half, was elected the best player of the game, and when asked if he was satisfied with his performance, Wang Yudong said, "The coach asked to play faster and score more goals, and he was quite satisfied with his own performance, and he still has to play well in every game."
