It should not be overlooked that our U16 National Youth Football Team showed the world the power of the youth storm last year. In the East Asia Cup Invitational Tournament, we competed fiercely with the strongest teams from Japan and South Korea, and even surpassed our rivals for a time, eventually winning the championship. However, during the training in Europe, our team seemed to lose its light in the face of professional clubs, exposing the shortcomings of the youth training system.
Currently, the team's coach originates from a small village in a corner of Japan. I have just taken the helm of the U16 National Youth Team and am still getting to know the team. With three matches to go, it is expected that each match will have a potential scoreline like the one today. For us, winning or losing doesn't matter. These kids are not yet adults, they are the future stars of the national soccer team. I hope that after experiencing these three high-intensity matches, they can lay a solid foundation for their professional soccer careers, define their own positioning, and do not revel in the glory of last year's victory over Japan and South Korea.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the two players with outstanding performance in this tournament are expected to stay in Germany for one more week to train with the German ladder team, which is undoubtedly a rare opportunity. From the current situation, the captain Zhang Hongfu as well as the side fast horse became the object of hope. It is worth mentioning that Xinjiang player Abdu Shalamu is also attracting attention in this team.
