In the finale of the U23 Asian Cup, China's men's soccer team won a thrilling 2-1 victory with goals from Xie Wenneng and Liu Zhurun, not only ushering in their first win of the tournament, but also collecting their first goal. However, this victory also marked the end of our journey, and we set off home with gains and regrets. Looking back on this game, it is not only the second victory of the U23 Asian Cup in the Olympic history of the Chinese men's football team, but it also stems from the Asian Cup that we hosted six years ago, in 2018. In the first round of the group stage, Wei Shihao, Yang Liyu and Li Xiaoming thrashed Oman 3-0, only to miss out on qualifying after falling to Uzbekistan and Qatar in their next two matches. At the time, the controversial decision of the "famous referee" Faghani became the talk of the town. Despite the fact that we were considered to be in the "Group of Death", a highly competitive group with Japan and South Korea, we played well against Japan in the face of a red card, and against South Korea we at least had the chance to score a goal. !

Looking back on the Asian Cup journey, Liu Zhuyun said that although there are regrets, but also experienced a difficult period, and finally won the hard. Today's goal is the affirmation of his personal ability. !

Despite the 2-1 win, it was too late, we lost two consecutive rounds early and declared ourselves out of the Olympics. Ching Yiu Tung felt that the field had improved despite the team's overall good performance and seeing some hope. We were not affected by the first two losses and adjusted positively, playing with tenacity and creating scoring opportunities. Although we are out of the tournament, we want to thank everyone and the players for their hard work. Our youngest player is 18 years old. He hopes the players can better themselves in their future careers. Cheng Yaodong still believes that the group is highly competitive, mainly due to the fact that our opponents, Japan and South Korea, are superb teams, which is the direct reason why we failed to qualify. There is a gap between our team in all aspects, strength, ability and the Asian teams, and we did not advance at the 2019 U19 Asian Youth Championship. We have worked hard over the years to catch up with the Asian level but there is still a gap between us and Japan and South Korea. From the long speech after the match, we can see that the coach did not lose confidence, but actively encouraged the youngsters.
