On September 3, Beijing time, China's national soccer team was defeated by Australia in the first round of the 12-team tournament with a score of 0-3, and this result triggered the attention of Jin Yun News. While analyzing it, the media outlet sharply criticized the performance of the national football team, with special mention of player Yu Dabao. The article pointed out that the face of Asia's top team, the national football team appeared to be a touch of collapse, out of the line situation is worrying. And Yu Dabao in this game, is the Jin media as "scapegoat".
According to the Jin media, Yu Dabao's debut against a strong opponent like Australia was a reasonable decision, as his experience and vision can make up for his physical deficiencies. However, the real key is that the whole team should strengthen the backfield defense, while head coach Li Tie chose a more risky tactic. Li Tie used a single-back tactic to deal with Australia, which led to the problem of Yu Dabao's slow retreat after Wu Xi was taken away by the opponents, and the backline collapsed as a result. From this point of view, Yu Dabao is not a bad performance, but Li Tie's hasty tactics led to the fiasco of the national football team.
Famous soccer commentator Huang Jianxiang also expressed his views after the game, he also pointed the finger at Li Tie. Huang Jianxiang believes that the national football team's style of play is too aggressive, which is the main reason for the big score loss. He said bluntly: "Australian Premier League level is impossible to beat the Chinese Premier League level 3:0, if the national football team positioned into the British Premier League level, then such a fiasco can be avoided."
