0-3, the Chinese team made major mistakes against the UAE team one after another, and finally lost to the opponent. Compared with the results, the immaturity of the Chinese players in terms of mentality is more worth summarizing. In addition, there is also a big controversy about the employment of Chinese coach Jankovic in this game, and it is really puzzling to reuse the right-back Xu Haofeng, who was exploded in the first leg.
In the final of the Dubai Cup, China U23 will face the host UAE U23. In this game, The Chinese team's starting goalkeeper Han Jiaqi, defenders Wen Xiaojun, Huang Jiahui, Jiang Shenglong, Xu Haofeng, midfielder double back land, Xu Yue, frontcourt Chen Guokang, Tao Qianglong, Sun Qinhan, Fang Hao alone in the front.
Just 3 minutes after the start of the game, the UAE team Idres burst into the bottom triangle of the penalty area on the left side, and Huang Jiahui made a mistake in the rush to break the siege when Oolong assisted Salem's shot inside the penalty area to break through the Chinese team's goal. 0-1, the Chinese team conceded a goal first. This also means that in the next game, the Chinese team has to fight a tough battle that they are not good at.
Behind the score, the Chinese team strengthened the pressing in the midfield, and the players in the front court committed frequent fouls, but they still could not change the unfavorable situation. For the current problem of the Chinese team, CCTV famous mouth once commented: The Chinese team fought fiercely in the front court, but the whole team did not fight uniformly, which allowed the other side to seize the opportunity to frequently attack the ball to the front court.
In the 35th minute, Xu Haofeng showed a pedaling action when defending on the right side, and was shown a yellow card by the referee. In this game, Xu Haofeng's right side was once again targeted by the opponent. It is worth mentioning that when the two sides first met, the right side of the Chinese team was almost exploded, and the right guard on the field at that time was Xu Haofeng. Obviously, Xu Haofeng's performance in this game was not too obviously improved compared to the first leg.
In the 37th minute, the UAE team attacked in the middle of the road, Ali shot a low shot from outside the penalty area, Han Jiaqi reacted quickly and fell to the ground to save, and then rushed to save the ball before the opponent made up for it. Two minutes later, Abdulrahman went straight in, Abdulrahman burst into the penalty area, Xu Haofeng decisively released the shovel, and the other party fell to the ground. However, the referee did not award a penalty and signaled the Chinese team to score a goal. The Chinese team was a false alarm.
In the 42nd minute, the Chinese midfielder was straight in, Fang Hao burst into the box without stopping the ball and shot directly, the ball hit the side-netting. It was also the most threatening shot of the Chinese team in the first half.
At the beginning of the second half, the Chinese team changed two people in a row, Ye Lijiang and He Yupeng replaced Sun Qinhan and Xu Haofeng, who performed poorly in the first half, respectively. In the 48th minute, Tao Qianglong did it back, Ye Lijiang outside the penalty area hit a hanging goal on the crossbar to pop up, and then a chaotic battle was formed in front of the goal, and the opposing goalkeeper got the ball. It can be seen that after Ye Lijiang and He Yupeng played, the offensive and defensive ends of the Chinese team on the right side have improved significantly, which reflects the excellent adaptability of coach Jankovic.
In the 66th minute, the Chinese team pressed for continuous robbery in the right midfield, and Ye Lijiang used his physical advantage to grab the ball. After the start of the second half, the Chinese team has significantly strengthened the unity of the frontcourt, once pressing the other side to kick.
In the subsequent game, Fang Hao and He Yupeng were replaced one after another due to injury, which can be seen that the Chinese team implemented the force of the front court, and indeed fought. But unfortunately, due to the inferior skills, the Chinese U23 has been unable to break through the other side's door even if it fights hard.
In the 90th minute, the Chinese team fouled the backcourt, the land gave the other side a penalty opportunity, and the opposing player deceived Han Jiaqi to easily hit the penalty, and finally locked the score to 2-0. In the 94th minute, a free-kick from the right was driven into the box and Seyed jumped high inside the penalty area to score the ball into the goal. Apparently, after conceding the second goal, the Chinese team was completely out of balance and completely collapsed in 4 minutes, so that there was a major mistake again in the last moment. 0-3, China U23 finally lost to its opponents and had no chance to take revenge.
Such a defeat also made the U23 national football team create 2 major humiliating records: 1, coupled with the 0-1 before the U19 Asian Youth Championship in 2018, and the 0-1 in the first leg 6 days ago, the Chinese 99/00 national football team faced the UAE team of the same age suffered three consecutive defeats; 2, the Chinese team faced the UAE team not only conceded 5 goals in 3 consecutive games, but also did not score a goal, which shows how lacking creativity the Chinese team is in the offensive end.
