On July 8, nightfall, the group stage of the AFC Champions League was in full swing, with Beijing Guoan and Liancheng facing each other in a battle of life and death. In the group stage, Guoan only gained one goal and one point from Liancheng, and now that the two teams have no hope of getting out of the group stage, this matchup is more like a battle of honor. In the first three minutes of the match, Guoan scored two goals in a row, showing an amazing explosive power.
Jiang Wenhao opened the scoring for the National Lightning in the 39th second of the game.
Leng Jixuan scored at 3:48 on a smart pass and shot!
2-0, such a start, did you expect it? The first thing many fans probably thought of when watching this game was "less loss, more win". After all, in the first leg of the match, despite the 1-1 draw, United City were clearly the better team and had control of the game. Had it not been for Liang Shaowen's free kick, it would have been difficult for Guoan to get a point.
However, in this game, you will find a phenomenon: Guoan players in four AFC Champions League games obviously improved, especially in the passing and receiving match, more relaxed, no longer as nervous as in the past. Attacking end is even more decent, know when to pass the ball. This is the meaning of playing high-level games.
China's youth training level has long been criticized. This is not the low level of youth training coaches, the scarcity of good seedlings, the more important reason is that there are too few high-level competitions. Foreign good players not only practiced, but also kicked out. And our players before entering the first team, not to mention high-level competition, official games are rare. This is also an important reason why the Football Association has been committed to improving the team league in recent years.
However, as the saying goes, "The more you play chess with a bad player, the worse it gets." This is the same reason why Wu Lei was "sent" to Spain to exercise. Long-term competition with domestic teams is obviously not enough. The FA must firmly invite more foreign high-level youth training teams to China, and exchange matches with us. The prize money for the national soccer team in the Top 40 tournament is as high as 12 million dollars. This amount of money, inviting foreign youth training teams, simply can not be spent. Therefore, the FA cannot favor one over the other: youth training is the future of Chinese soccer.
