Live Broadcast, July 16th: Currently, the Chinese men’s football selection team, which is about to compete in the East Asian Cup, is training in Qingdao. According to the "Qilu Evening News" report, the national football team has reached the time of upgrading, and the East Asian Cup is a valuable training opportunity for the young national football team.
East Asian Cup men's football tournament has four teams participating: China, Hong Kong, South Korea and Japan. Among them, both the Korean team and the Japanese team are dominated by players playing in domestic leagues. For the national football selection team composed of U23 players, the main purpose of this East Asian Cup is to train and prepare for the Asian Games and Asian Cup. The national football team that failed to qualify for the World Cup has reached the time of renewal. The East Asian Cup, a valuable training opportunity, is naturally given to the U23 national football team.
"Qilu Evening News" believes that the biggest problem with the current batch of U23 international players is the lack of competition experience. The Dubai Cup, which ended in March this year, was the only international event this team participated in in the past three years. Therefore, the short few days of training time in recent days are extremely precious for the national football selection team.
is different from the Dubai Cup in that the national football selection team will face more mature opponents in the East Asian Cup, which requires players to be prepared both physically and mentally.
