On September 5th, Hubei team will play against Zhejiang team, which is the favourite to win the championship and has many players from China Greentown team. On the same day, the Liaoning team will face another favorite to win the championship, and beat the Hubei team in the group stage.
This is the second time that Hubei team has played against Tianjin team in the group stage because the men's soccer competition in the National Games adopted a rare competition system similar to the "double-loss elimination system". The two teams met in the first round. At that time, the host resisted the indiscriminate bombing of Hubei team with tenacious defense and luck, and finally lost only on penalty. But this time, the Tianjin team was not so lucky. The strength of Hubei team is obviously dominant, leading 3-0 in the first half.
In the 27th minute, Hu Zhuang, the central defender of Hubei team, kicked the corner and headed the ball to open the situation. Yang, who once played for Portuguese first-class team gondomar, is the most eye-catching player of Hubei team. From the beginning of the game, he frequently planned attacks in the left avant-garde position, threatening the opponent's goal, showing good breakthrough, cooperation and shooting ability. After two threatening shots, Yang made a penalty in the hands of the opposing defender with a long-range shot in the 39th minute and easily hit the penalty. In the first half of injury time, striker Zhao Mingyu received a triangular pass from his teammate's right baseline and headed the ball to the top.
In the second half, the scene continued to be one-sided. Hubei failed to expand the score only because of bad luck and Tianjin goalkeeper Bao's left and right blocking, and Tianjin scored a gratifying goal before the end.
Many players from Hubei team were selected for training in the National Youth Team, and many players played in Portugal or North America. In this game, they are superior to their opponents in technology, consciousness and competition ability. Like Yang, the midfielder who played in gondomar and the right avant-garde who played for the Vancouver White Hat Youth Team in Major League Soccer all performed well.
The men's soccer competition in the National Games has also attracted the attention of Sun Jihai, who is expected to lead the U20 selection team from China to participate in the 4th German professional league. He appeared in some competitions and inspected the athletes on the spot. In this National Games, some Olympic players will represent China in the qualifiers for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games in the future.
