From 2-0 to 2-2, the country has learned a profound lesson

Reporter Chen Yong reports "Xingtai Cup" Hohhot International Football Championship in the second round against Vietnam U16, only 17 minutes after the opening 2-0 lead, but 09 national youth (hereinafter referred to as national youth) failed to get 3 points, the second half at the beginning of the goal, and then Zhang Junhao was sent off with a red card, the national youth was forced to play 10 to 11, the opponent scored at a super small angle, and finally, the national youth and Vietnam drew 2-2. It was a very profound lesson for these young players.

Compared with the first game, the national youth rotated in a few positions, and the starting lineup was goalkeeper Li Qifu (rotation); defenders Zhang Xuyao, Lu Qizheng, Li Junpeng and Nan Zixun (rotation); Double midfielders Xu Zhengpeng and Lu Junbo (rotation), full-backs Liang Shiyu and Kwong Zhaolei, forward 10,000 items; Forward He Sifan.

In the 13th minute, Kuang Zhaolei crossed from the right, and Liang Shiyu volleyed the goal; In the 17th minute, Zhang Xuyao broke through the cross and scored with a powerful shot. Subsequently, Vietnam began to strengthen the attack, but the national youth did not give the opponent any chance through effective defense, and at the same time obtained many good opportunities through counterattacks, but unfortunately failed to expand the score.

In the second half, Vietnam continued to be under high pressure, and the national youth fouled after a mistake, Vietnam took advantage of the opportunity of a free kick in front of the goal to head the goal, the ball hit Lu Qizheng and refracted it, goalkeeper Li Qifu could not react, and the ball hit his body and bounced into the net.

In the 53rd minute, the national youth changed the right back, right midfielder, left forward and forward, and Zhang Junhao, Xie Jin, Shuai Weihao and Zhang Bolin came on the field. In the 61st minute, right-back Zhang Junhao, who had just been substituted for 7 minutes, was directly sent off with a red card for dangerous actions, and the national youth was forced to play 10 to 11.

Playing more with less, but the national youth still created some opportunities, but the inexplicable conceded goal appeared again - in the 85th minute, Vietnam made a cross from the bottom, but the ball was passed directly into the net, and there was a problem with the position of goalkeeper Li Qifu. In the 94th minute, Vietnam was also sent off, and the national youth still had a chance to score after that, but unfortunately could not grasp it.

In the other match, Saudi Arabia 1-2 Australia. In this way, after two rounds, the national youth has 1 win and 1 draw, 4 points, 4 goals and 3 goals, and Australia has won two consecutive games, 6 points, 4 goals and 2 goals. In the final round, the national major will face Australia, and only by winning can he win the championship.

As far as this game is concerned, Zhang Junhao's red card was undoubtedly the turning point of the game, and he received a straight red. It should be noted that Zhang Junhao was the starting right-back in the first game, and it is said that such a problem should not occur, and why, it may be necessary for the coaching staff to have in-depth communication with Zhang Junhao, including him personally, and it is also necessary for him to reflect.

Goalkeeper Li Qifu's performance in this game was not very satisfactory: although the first goal was suddenly refracted before conceding, it was understandable that the reaction was not enough; But the second goal conceded, his positioning and movement are worth summarizing.

It is normal for young players to have ups and downs, for the national youth, in the case of such a smooth start and a 2-0 lead, there is no problem with proper placement and defense, but the ball was conceded at the beginning of the second half, and how much attention was not enough, because the set-piece that led to the loss of the ball was originally caused by the national youth players stopping the ball out of bounds, and after conceding the first goal, the performance of the players was a little impatient.

Of course, the performance of the national youth on the offensive end is also worthy of recognition. Although there are only two goals, there are many excellent breakthroughs, especially after Xie Jin came off the bench, the right side attack is very sharp, but he and his teammates are not tacit enough, a few times when he sent a threatening inverted triangle cross, teammates have rushed to the goal, good offensive opportunities are wasted - the communication between the players needs to be strengthened.
