Tonight at 19:35, the Chinese U23 men s football team will fight to the death, the captain makes a harsh talk, no team can get 3 points

At 19:35 tonight, the Chinese U23 men's football team ushered in a life-and-death battle. Can the strong enemy Australia win 1-0? The captain made a harsh statement before the game, and the team's goal was to point directly to the top of the group.

In the first two rounds of the U23 Asian Cup qualifiers, although the Chinese team won two consecutive victories, the process was not easy. In the first game against Timor-Leste, with the performance of the main players such as Kuai Jiwen and Wang Yudong, they narrowly won 2-1, exposing offensive efficiency and defensive loopholes. In the second round, he faced the Northern Mariana Islands. His ball possession rate was as high as 84% ​​in the first half but he only led 1-0, once again highlighting the dilemma of breaking through intensive defense. The turning point occurred in the second half, with young player Wang Yudong making 5 goals on the bench, helping the team win 10-0, and his personal performance shining.

Currently, the Chinese team has 6 points and 11 goals better, ranking second in the group. Australia won both games, scoring 20 goals and conceded zero goals, leading by 9 goals, ranking first in the group. According to the qualifying rules, 11 groups will directly advance to the top, and 4 best groups will also be able to qualify. Compared with other groups horizontally, the Chinese team's points and goal difference advantages are obvious: the second in Group A has the highest score of 7 points but only 6 goals; the second in Group C has the second goal difference; the second in Group I cannot reach 7 points at the same time due to direct dialogue. Therefore, as long as you draw with Australia in the last round and score 7 points, the Chinese team's prospects for qualifying are excellent; once you lose, your destiny will be handed over to others, and you need to be wary of the risks of "tacity ball" in other groups.

Tactically, the Australian team is strong and has terrifying attack power. The Chinese team is expected to adopt a stable counterattack strategy. The key point is to stabilize defense, improve the efficiency from defense to offense, cherish limited opportunities, and use the speed and technology of Wang Yudong and Baihe Lamu to capture the counterattack space. In terms of player mentality, the team is not satisfied with protecting the ball. Wang Yudong, Hu Hetao and others said they will strive for three points. Football Association senior executives Song Kai and Xu Jiren personally attended the battle to increase motivation and pressure. Captain Liu Haofan made a domineering statement before the game: "No team can easily take 3 points from us!" The game time node is crucial: you need to withstand the offensive in the first half to ensure the goal is not lost; take advantage of the opponent's impatient counterattack in the first 30 minutes of the second half; if the winner is not decided after 75 minutes, the chances of a draw are high. Drawing on the tactics of the second round, Wang Yudong may become a surprise player in the second half.

Based on home court advantages and Australia's possible advancement, the Chinese team's defensive counterattack tactics are expected to work. It is not impossible to be upset 1-0, but a draw is a more pragmatic goal. Logically, the team is in a strong morale and under the pressure of qualifying, it may create surprises.
