Asian Cup Qualifiers
In the middle of the day, the highlight of the 2nd round of Group G kicked off at the Sports City Stadium in Shepperton, Australia. The match between the Northern Mariana Islands team and our U16 National Junior Team ended in an 11-0 win for our team, with two consecutive victories. After the match, head coach Yang Chen and best player Wang Yudong attended the press conference.
Commenting on the game after the match, Yang Chen said, "Due to the epidemic, the opportunity to play was very valuable. In this game, I hope to give the players who have not played before a workout, of course, the goal difference is also crucial for us. The Northern Marianas have prepared well for this match and we had some difficulties today, but the team showed a high level of motivation. The next game against Australia will be a real test."
When asked if he was confident of defeating Australia, Yang Chen replied firmly: "All of us are well prepared for the match against Australia. I have watched the match between Australia and Cambodia, which will help us assess our opponents more accurately."
Wang Yudong, who scored four goals in the second half in extra time, was awarded the best player. Talking about his performance, Wang Yudong modestly said, "The coach asked us to speed up the game and score more goals, I am quite satisfied with my performance, but I still have to continue to work hard and play well in every game."
