U23 Asian Cup Group Announced 1 February, Beijing time1On the afternoon of the 7th, the draw ceremony for the U23 Asian Cup Group Stage of AFC Uzbekistan was held in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan. The draw results of 16 team have also been released, and the host Uzbekistan has fallen into Group A. Defending champion South Korea has entered Group C as the seed team.
The 5th U23 Asian Cup will be held from June 1 to June 19, 2022. The draw ceremony of the contest group was held in Tashkent on February 17, Beijing time. Affected by the epidemic, the visiting team or its member associations were not invited to participate in the lucky draw at the scene, and the whole activity was completed online. Judging from the specific grouping situation, the hosts Uzbekistan, Iran and Qatar are in Group A, while Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Japan are in Group D, so the competition is relatively difficult. ..
Affected by the epidemic, 1999-year-old China U23 national football team withdrew from the preliminary group match originally planned to be held in Tajikistan from the end of June last year 10 to the beginning of June, which means that China U23 team automatically gave up its qualification to participate in this year's finals. In the previous four U23 Asian Cup competitions, China U23 team's record was generally bleak, only winning 65,438+0 in the third group match in 2065,438+08, and never entering the knockout stage.
The finals of the 5th U23 Asian Cup are grouped as follows:
Group A: Uzbekistan, Iran, Qatar and Turkmenistan
Group B: Australia, Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait
Group C: Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia
Group D: Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Japan, Tajikistan
U23 Asian Cup Group Announcement 2 This afternoon, the results of the draw for the 2022 U23 Asian Cup group match were released, and 16 teams including South Korea, Japan and Thailand were divided into four groups. However, we didn't find China in it. Why is this? Because last year, China Football Association gave up participating in the qualifying group match, so it lost the qualification to participate in this year's finals. So, is it good or bad that China U23 national team missed the U23 Asian Cup?
To be honest, I personally think this is a good result. It can even be said that the China Football Association had foresight and made a wise move. This year, the national football team lost to Vietnam on New Year's Day 1-3, giving China football a black head. Because of this, a large number of fans decided to give up paying attention to the men's soccer team in China, which made the football in China, which was already in the freezing period, even colder. If you go to the U23 Asian Cup, I am afraid you will lose a large number of loyal fans. If you don't believe me, let's take a look at the four groups in this U23 Asian Cup.
There are 16 teams in this U23 Asian Cup, which are divided into four groups: A, B, C and D. Group A: hosts Uzbekistan, Iran, Qatar and Turkmenistan. If China U23 national football team participates, I'm afraid it will be at the bottom of this group. Then let's look at group B. Group B: Australia, Jordan, Iraq and Kuwait. This group seems to be the death group of China U23 national football team. Next, let's look at group C.
Group C: Korea, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia. It seems that we can't beat anyone except Malaysia. However, in 2020, the China Olympic Games also drew 2-2 with the Malaysian Olympic Games, so I'm afraid that Group C will be eliminated in advance. In the end, only group d is left. However, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Japan and Tajikistan in Group D have left the U23 national football team far behind. Therefore, I said that it was prescient of China Football Association to give up the game.
Looking back at the first four U23 Asian Cups that China U23 national football team participated in, the record was too bad to look straight. Only won 1 in four games, and never qualified for the group. Seeing this, do you think it is wise for China Football Association to choose to abandon the game? Many fans said that since the U23 policy has been introduced, it is useless not to participate in intercontinental competitions. In fact, even if we go to the qualifiers, can our current U23 players really make it to the finals?
On February 17, Beijing time, the U23 Asian Cup group was announced. The draw result of U23 Asian Cup in Uzbekistan in 2022 was released, and the competition will be held from June 1 day to June 19, 2022. China automatically lost its qualification to participate in this year's finals because it gave up the qualifying group match.
According to the grouping, South Korea and Vietnam were divided into Group C, and the U23 Asian Cup was held in China in 20 18, and finally Vietnam won the runner-up. Vietnam, as a rising Asian youth training in recent years, its encounter with South Korea is quite interesting. Previously, Vietnam's men's World Cup preliminaries defeated the national football team, which made everyone want to see the level of the youth army in Vietnam now. After all, Korean brand names at all levels are the top level in Asia, and they are all East Asian countries, which will be more direct in comparison.
Due to epidemic situation and other reasons, China U23 national team withdrew from the qualifying group match held in Tajikistan in late June last year (65438+ 10 to early June 165438+ 10). This decision made China fans feel helpless and sad. There are objective reasons for the epidemic, the essence of which is the status of football in China. In the face of many objective things, football is dispensable.
When interviewed by the media recently, Huang Jianxiang also talked about the recent football situation in China. He said that it is cowardly for the public to choose a weak industry to step on. At the same time, he also put forward a point: how a country and a nation treat football will give you the same acceptance and respect. This is his answer to a German football executive when talking about the development of Chinese and Japanese football.
Our U23 national football team has not played officially for two years. In order to prepare for this year's Asian Games in Hangzhou, we may even participate in the Dubai Cup in March and the East Asian Cup in July, so as to achieve the goal of full-time training.
