On the star-studded night of July 24, the second round of the East Asian Cup soccer tournament was in full swing, with the Chinese men's soccer team shaking hands with Japan in a thrilling battle with a score of 0-0. After the match, industry-renowned soccer commentator Zhan Jun posted his insights on Weibo, recognizing the performance of the national team.
Zhan Jun took to Twitter to elaborate on the highlights of the match, "Yes, we saw progress! Ending a four-game long losing streak against Japan woes. Although there were some gaps in possession and offense, and our midfield seemed a bit overwhelmed, with players looking a bit lax in their stances and the attacking organization not smooth enough, luckily, our three center backs were impressive, especially captain Zhu Chenjie, who was solid in defense and accurate in his interceptions. If we could have capitalized on the last attacking opportunity, perhaps the ending would have been different."
