On the initial trail of their trip to Germany, the national team arrived at the historic Borussia Mönchengladbach soccer club to play a match against the U17 youth team. Regrettably, the national team failed to withstand the onslaught of their opponents in the first half, conceding two goals in a row, and suffered an even worse blow in the second half, netting six goals, and ultimately returning home with an eight-goal deficit. This definitely revealed the huge gap between the teams. But soccer commentator "Nemo Watch Soccer" pointed out in the post-match analysis: "In the second half, our team's mentality fluctuated and we conceded five goals in ten minutes. However, the Chinese players did not lag behind their opponents in terms of confrontation and rhythm control on the field."
A few days later, the National Junior Team had their second match against the Stuttgart U17 team. At the beginning of the match, both teams failed to score. However, in the second half, the National Junior Team failed to resist the onslaught of their opponents and conceded two goals in a row, losing 0:2. After two matches, the national team was left with no goals, but paid the price of 10 goals. Fortunately, in the third game, the national team finally came to victory. In this match against Stuttgart U15s (09), the Chinese U-16 national team sent a substitute lineup. In the end, goals from Wang Zihao, Zhou Junzhuo and Yao Junyu helped the national team win 2-1, which is definitely a precious victory.
