The Chinese soccer expert responded that he was not surprised by China's defeat.

China's Dong Qiudi reported on the 8th (Korea time) 'Mother Xing pointed out that Chinese soccer lacks skills, and there will be no change with the change of coach'

China was completely defeated 0-3 in the first match of the 2025 East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Championship (hereinafter referred to as the East Asian Cup) against the South Korean national football team at Mir Stadium in Yongin on the 7th. It was Korea without European teams, but it was no match for China's skills.

China has been lethargic throughout the game. Some expected the outcome of the turnaround with promising player Wang Ui-dong starting, but they couldn't work at all against South Korea. China, which lost points to Lee Dong-kyung in the 8th minute of the first half and Joo Min-kyu in the 21st minute of the first half, even allowed Kim Joo-sung to score a net in the 11th minute of the second half. He was in a hurry to continue to defend, and he hardly produced any threatening attack scenes. After the game, Dejan Djurjevic, the acting Chinese coach, said "Korea was a very strong team. Not only did he press hard, but he also made a great first goal. Afterwards, the game did not go as we had prepared.'

Mother Xing, a Chinese soccer journalist and soccer expert, gave a strong criticism of the situation in the Chinese national team after the game. He said 'The gap between three goals is the real gap between China and Korea' and should admit that the gap between Chinese and Korean soccer is too wide at the moment. While young players have beaten Korea in practice matches over the past two years, this does not mean that the gap between Korea and China has narrowed at the adult level. Both South Korea and China are temporary teams, but they are familiar with basic plays and tactics. This defeat is not surprising at all.

Mothering cited the low level of the Chinese Super League as the cause of the gap. He said 'The Chinese national team consists of Super League players. China was close to the best line-up, but it was hard to win. Fundamentally because the level of the league is too low. For a long time, the Chinese Super League, the K-League, and the J-League were markedly different in intensity and rhythm. He proved this once again in this showdown. Will the situation in the Chinese national team fundamentally change even if other coaches come? Rather than coping with the rapid development of Asian soccer, isn't the old Chinese league difficult to catch up or handle?' he evaluated.




It is time for China to make a new attempt to rebound again through the frustration of advancing to the World Cup finals and the East Asian Cup. As Mothering pointed out, a full-scale reorganization is expected to be urgent rather than expecting a simple manager change. Since China's crushing defeat to South Korea, voices of reform and criticism have been pouring in from within China. Many fans are expected to pay attention to whether China will be able to show a change after the East Asian Cup.
