Uzbek U23 stumbled on the way to advance and finally reached the semi-finals. Uzbek's record in the U23 Asian Cup was quite good, and he won the first U23 Asian Cup championship in team history in 18. They also made it to the semifinals in the last Asian Cup , but were defeated by Saudi in the semifinals. The team remained unbeaten with two wins and two draws in this Asian Cup. It is worth mentioning that when facing the weaker Iran and Iraq , the team could only draw, and they did not have an advantage in the scene at one time.
and advanced to the penalty when he was against Iraq, but in this game, Uzbek U23 paid a certain price. The team's main goalkeeper Nematov was suspended from the game. Nematov was sent off for a foul in the penalty area in the 13th minute of the start of the game. The goalkeeper started three games in the first four games. Previously, the second-time AFC selected by IFFHS, including Nematov, is the absolute main force of Uzbek U23! Their second goal Nazarov came on as a substitute at the end of the group stage and in the knockout round, conceded three goals in two games, but failed to finish the opponent's clean sheet, and his strength was far from the main goalkeeper. So if Nematov is lacking, it will definitely have an impact on the defense.
Japan U23 in the quarterfinals strongly crushed South Korea to advance to the semi-finals, which can be said to be one of the favorites to win this year. As for South Korea, there are actually problems with fighting intentions. It is a very realistic problem. This U23 Asian Cup is not an Olympic qualifier, nor do you want to be a major issue related to military service like Asian Games . Therefore, the players' desire to fight in the game is completely different from the performance of the Indonesian Asian Games two years ago. The second is the team's preparations. The Korean Football Association said that the U23 team will give way to the national team to meet the national team's inspection of players. So many players of the right age have not gone out. Last year, Japan decided to focus on building a team that was born in the post-00s. In order to prepare in advance for the Paris Olympics and chose Taku Oiwa as the head coach, the 21 team of Japan has entered this year and started preparing for this year's Asian Youth Championship and Hangzhou Asian Games .
In addition, Japan U21 also took advantage of the Dubai Cup opportunity to gather 27 players to let the players go back and forth, and make changes in each game. The purpose is to prepare for the current Asian Cup. However, in the end, it was the championship in the Dubai Cup, which made the confidence of the players who were two years younger than the average age increased. The Japanese U21 team did not gather all the best players, but 17 of the 23 players participated in the Dubai Cup this time, and the main framework is the lineup in the Dubai Cup. In the last nine games, the team won eight victories, with a winning rate of almost 90% of the team. In eight of the nine games, they blocked their opponents in zero games, which shows that the team's offense and defense are both excellent! Now, for teams of the same age in Asia, they have reached the first-class level. This game is naturally above the opponent.
In short, the defensive hardness of the Japanese team in terms of lineup may be the toughest team in Japan since its national team. Goalkeeper Aiyan Suzuki is 1.9 meters tall (9 years old), has a tough physique and has played for the Toyota Red Devils (Uura Wai Red Diamonds) in J1 in the 21st season. Defender Chase (18 years old) is now signing with Stuttgart B team. Mid-back Joru Fujita (20 years old) is currently playing for Yokohama Mariner . In addition to these people, there are also players in the team who play the main players in domestic giants.Then this game was also a battle of revenge for Japan's U23. The two teams were eliminated by Uzbek in the 18th Asian Cup, and the data was completely suppressed throughout the game. The above article also talked about Japan's attitude towards youth training. This encounter naturally requires a victory attitude to face it!
