1-1 The draw caused disappointment! China U22 men s football team s European competition reveals hidden worries

In the early morning of June 8, a dramatic international football friendly match started in Belarus. The Chinese U22 men's football team fought with the Belarusian U21 men's football team for 90 minutes and finally shook hands with a score of 1-1. Although the Chinese team stubbornly equalized the score in the 75th minute, this result still couldn't hide the disappointment of the fans. In the game, although the Chinese team controlled more than 60% of the ball possession rate, they only had 3 shots in the 12 shots in the game, and offensive efficiency became the biggest shortcoming. In the first half, Mu Tali hit the post with a single blow, and then missed the opportunity in the melee in front of the goal. The wasted of these key opportunities made the fans worried. At the beginning of the second half, the referee misjudged that Liu Xiaolong made a penalty for a foul outside the penalty area, and the Belarus team took the lead in scoring. Faced with a backward situation, the Chinese team did not seize the opportunity to equalize the score until the 75th minute. Such a passive situation has caused fans to question the team's ability to adapt.

This time, the Chinese team sent all their main players, and the opponent was one year younger than him. In terms of lineup and age, the Chinese team should have more advantages. But the actual performance failed to match expectations, which undoubtedly deepened the disappointment of fans. It is worth noting that this training is to integrate the lineup for the Asian Cup qualifiers. However, facing opponents like Belarus U21 fail to win, fans are inevitably worried about the team's prospect of competing for the top spot in the group with strong teams such as Australia in the main game. This 1-1 draw is not only a regret in the score, but also a warning to the team's strength. How to adjust the state and improve competitiveness will be an urgent problem that the Chinese U22 men's football team needs to solve.
