A much-anticipated intercontinental showdown came to an end, and our national junior team, which had not participated in such a high-profile game for a long time, finally shook hands with the South Korean team with a score of 2-2. Korean players were overjoyed, the scene was out of control, many players were so excited that they went limp, and the players on the bench rushed into the stadium to celebrate.
Famous soccer commentator Dong Lu expressed his insights after the game. He pointed out that China's soccer is not yet able to fully rely on passing, and the players' mastery of complex soccer concepts is still insufficient. However, in this U16 national team, we saw the dawn of Chinese soccer. They are no longer confined to defensive counterattacks with half-field contraction, but have begun to adopt more aggressive high-pressure tactics in front of the field.
In the second half, the U16 national soccer team created a penalty kick with a sharp grab by Wei Xiangxin No. 9, and the 16-year-old young player's shirtless celebration after scoring a goal sparked the attention of many fans. Despite his young age, his muscular lines are already taking shape, showing the team's hard training. The players are generally tanned, reflecting the hard work they have put in.
Under the firm leadership of Japanese coach Kenichi Muramura, the U16 National Football Team showed a positive soccer style against the South Korean National Junior Football Team, which cheered up countless national soccer fans. This year, the U19 and U15 national soccer teams have both defeated their age group rivals, and the U16 national soccer team has shown leadership on the pitch, even though they drew with the South Korean U16s. Perhaps in 5-10 years, Chinese soccer will return to the top level in Asia.
