In a passionate showdown in Chengdu, China's soccer team took on Syria on Tuesday (12), but unfortunately suffered a breathtaking second-half goal that ended in a 0-1 defeat. In this international friendly match, the Chinese team has only gained one draw and one loss. More regrettably, in the five warm-up matches against Syria, the Chinese team's previous record of total victory was ended, and this loss also became the worst record in the team's history.
After a 1-1 draw with Malaysia in their last match, the Chinese team was aiming for revenge in this match, with a lot of energy. However, manager Aleksandar Jankovic opted for a "veteran lineup", with an average age of 31 years old in the starting lineup. The average age of the players in the starting lineup is 31 years old. Among them, the experienced Ekerson is already 34 years old, and the youngest one, Jiang Guangtai, is also 29 years old, so it is obvious that such a lineup lacks in vitality.
