Recently, the Korean media once again voiced some sharp criticism of China's U20 men's soccer team, pointing out that it repeatedly committed fouls in the encounter with South Korea. Coach Antonio also received two yellow cards for vulgarity. In the face of this scene, the Chinese media, however, after the game to make some whitewash, high-profile claims that the Chinese men's soccer team is expected to play with Japan, South Korea and other top teams in Asia side by side.
The Korean media expressed extreme dissatisfaction with this and revealed the fact that the CFA had not renewed Antonio's contract, satirizing the fact that Antonio had not been offered a new contract to date, merely giving a resounding slap in the face to the Chinese media who glorify failure. Numerous Chinese fans witnessed the indignation of the Korean media and could not help but marvel at the Korean football team's continued lack of temperament.
The Korean media habitually focuses on the number of fouls committed by the Chinese team, but says nothing about the controversial goal scored by the Korean team. Theoretically, the penalty kick awarded to Korea should have been turned down by the referee. Because of this controversy, Korea dragged China into a penalty shootout. Had it not been for that, China would have beaten South Korea in regulation time and advanced to the semifinals with their heads held high.
The Korean media kept quiet about the alleged foul push in overtime when the Korean team scored beyond the score. The Korean media's arrogance made the Korean team lose their way in the semifinals of the Asian Youth Championship. The Korean team almost suffocated against the powerful Uzbekistan. In the penalty shootout, the Korean team completely collapsed, and all three penalty kicks were easily saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, and they went out of the tournament.
Will the Korean media still accuse Uzbekistan of committing too many fouls and winning only by savage soccer after such a weak performance by the Korean team? The Korean media's mockery of the Chinese soccer team can only mean that the Chinese team has excelled in their encounters with Korea, which has caused anxiety in the Korean media.
