Would it be 'Continental Spirit Victory'.

As Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan advanced to the final of the Under-17 Asian Cup, China's response to this is interesting. China's Sohu said on the 18th that Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan reached the final with their respective victories over South Korea and North Korea, and that the two teams faced China in the group stage, and China lost only to them.

China was in the same group with Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan and Thailand in Group A of the tournament. China, which lost to Saudi Arabia 1-2 in the first round, was also caught up by Uzbekistan 1-2 in the second round, confirming its elimination from the group stage early. He avoided humiliation by winning 2-0 against Thailand, the final match.




Since the formation of the group, China's advance to the quarterfinals has been considered difficult. As it was included in the group with Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan, which are considered favorites, the majority of Asia predicted that it would be difficult to win a ticket to the quarterfinals, which will be given up to the second place in the group. China did not hide its expectations, saying 'the golden generation of all time', but the result was, as expected, eliminated from the group stage.

Then, the arrow headed toward Japanese coach Kenichi Uemura, who led the Chinese national team. The Chinese daily newspaper's business newspaper said, "'If I had prepared well, I could have performed better at the U-17 Asian Cup.'" The Chinese players were full of energy even in the middle of the second half of the match against Thailand. It was different from the previous two games in which he was clearly tired. If it was the third group game, I would have had to lose my stamina. This means that after two weeks of training and competition, Chinese athletes will be able to fully show their level by adapting to the environment of Saudi typ, which is a 1,700-meter plateau above sea level. Also 'Highland games are not unfamiliar to Chinese soccer. Most professional athletes have experience in Kunming, 1,800 meters above sea level, or in Wish, 1,700 meters above sea level,' he said, adding that officials from the Chinese Football Association had raised the need for training on high ground to Uemura, but they had heard that there would be no problem. In addition, the management system of the men's and women's national teams at all levels is not unified. The youth team in charge of managing the youth team failed to provide sufficient support due to lack of connections, resources and experience. 'U-17 national team did not have a proper practice game as it conducted three training sessions after passing the preliminary round in October last year. It was a proper practice game to play against Indonesia after the call-up last month. Earlier, the UAE, Iran, and Australia proposed a practice game, but it did not come true. Coach Uemura said, "The reason was that we didn't need many practice games ahead of the tournament, and the youth department also failed to help us find a proper opponent." In the meantime, 'The failure in this competition must be remembered. He concluded the analysis by saying, 'I failed even though I had enough preparation time with players with distinct characteristics' and "'This failure of my seniors should be a lesson for my juniors to take the world stage.'"
