How long does it take for China to draw lots for the Asian Games?
But obviously, Lien Chan is a strong enemy this time, which may be more meaningful for the future development of the national football team and even the whole China football team than praying for the arrival of the goddess of luck to draw weaker opponents!
First of all, against strong teams like Japan and Saudi Arabia, you can find your own shortcomings! At present, Japan, South Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc. These teams can be said to be the first-class strong teams in Asia. Their strength lies in their good youth training besides individual naturalized players, especially Japan, which can be described as the benchmark of Asian youth training! Obviously, the U 16 national team, as the hope of the national football team in the future, can play against these strong enemies in the official competition and find out the strength gap between the two sides. At the same time, you can exercise yourself in the competition with these strong teams, find your own shortcomings, and strengthen your personal ability and team skills and tactics in future training!
Secondly, entering the "death group" can let our players put aside their luck and take their fate into their own hands! It is undoubtedly a kind of luck to draw a weaker opponent, but China football has been hurt by this fluky psychology for countless times, and sometimes even because the opponent is weak, he seems careless in the game and finally loses! And meeting a strong opponent may make our players more engaged and go all out in the game. No matter whether they win or lose, they will eventually be able to hold their destiny in their own hands, instead of relying on good luck to draw a weak opponent and get a chance to qualify. Even if you qualify because your opponent is weak, you may not be able to go far when you meet a strong enemy in the knockout stage!
Finally, playing against strong enemies can better test our youth training level! Why are they all Asian teams, and why are their national teams doing so well? Why are they all youth training, and their youth training results are so good! This may be a question that our relevant personnel in charge of football youth training need to think about after playing! If this group match can beat Japan and Saudi Arabia, it shows that our youth training has also achieved certain results. If the gap with other teams is obvious, we need to continue to reform youth training. At the same time, we can learn from our opponents' youth training methods and combine the existing youth training in China to improve the youth training level of China football!
Although the national football team has embarked on the road of naturalization, it is also a last resort. In the final analysis, the development of football in China ultimately depends on our youth training. Only by doing a good job in youth training can China football have a better future!
