In the first round of the AFC Champions League Group I clash, Beijing

The team went head-to-head with United City FC Philippines and ended up drawing 1-1, a result that made a difference. This also makes the controversial current AFC Champions League China
national soccer team
It's been righted in a way. It is important to realize that Beijing
national security
The lineup is really young, so from the two AFC Champions League matches, the Chinese
national soccer team
The rise of the game also needs to start with youth soccer and to get youth players more involved in the game.
Compare that to Guangzhou's players, most of whom stepped straight from soccer schools to the AFC Champions League stage, and Beijing's

At least some of the players have had
China Super League (soccer league)
The team has had experience with the National Youth Football League (NYFL) and the Central B League (CBL), and has even practiced with the National Youth Football League (NYFL). Despite the fact that Sakura Osaka is stronger than Union City FC, both in terms of the result and the process of the match, Beijing

The performance of young players is better, especially in the use of game experience, compared with the Guangzhou football school players, the gap is obvious. Therefore, the cultivation of youth soccer still needs to rely on practical exercises.
Overall, both Beijing

or Guangzhou's youth army, all of them had a pretty good debut in the AFC Champions League, showing at least the beginnings of a holistic team rather than a fragmented one. This also reflects the fact that Beijing

and Guangzhou's investment in youth training. Next, they still have 5 matches waiting to challenge, no matter whether the opponent is Japan, Korea or the Philippines, they expect these young players to really learn and keep improving.

From the point of view of the game, at this stage of the national youth to play in the B or even A, still has a certain significance. For example, Guoan's players such as Liang Shaowen, Duan Dezhi, Nai Bijiang, Hu Jiaqi, etc., through the experience of playing in the National Youth Football League in the Chinese B Grade, their individual ability and game experience are obviously better than the Guangzhou players who have just come out from the football academy. Although Guoan looks young, they play more like an adult team than the players who play directly in Guangzhou's soccer academy. Therefore, the strength of the players no longer depends on their age, but on their game experience, mentality and training.
Of course, for the 18-20 year olds, they still have deficiencies in basic skills, passing reasonableness and playing stability, but we should pay more attention to their highlights and give them encouragement. In this way, the purpose of their participation in the AFC Champions League will be achieved.
Through these two AFC Champions League matches, we have seen the Chinese
national soccer team
The hope for the future. They are energetic, strong, skillful, and have a good mentality, but the only thing they lack is the experience of playing at a high level. For example, the free kick scored by Guoan in the United City FC match is called "round moon scimitar", some people may think that it is luck, but even so, it can not be separated from the solid basic skills.
Although some of the players in the Guoan team have played in the National Youth Football League (N.Y.F.L.), the AFC Champions League is a better place for them to get training. Therefore, Guangzhou and Beijing Guoan sent young players to play in the AFC Champions League, although there is a risk of failure, but compared to failure, they gained intangible wealth, and in the future may emerge as the Asian Footballer of the Year and other outstanding talents.
Of course, China

The development of soccer from this AFC Champions League also reflects that the development of soccer is not an empty slogan, but a down-to-earth approach that starts with the training of young people in soccer.
