Chinese media “We will take advantage of a defense-focused counterattack against Korea”

Today at 10 PM, second round of the U-23 Asian Cup group stage

The Chinese national team, which is facing the Korean U-23 national team led by coach Hwang Sun-hong, is expected to adopt a tactic of defending first and then counterattacking.

Hwang Seon-hong will play the second match of Group B of the 2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-23 Asian Cup against China at Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar, at 10 p.m. (Korean time) on the 19th.

Korea, which won 1-0 in the first game against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on the 17th, is aiming to advance to the quarterfinals early with two consecutive wins by beating China.

China is also desperate for victory. Since they lost to Japan in the first game, it is inevitable that they will be eliminated if they lose today's game as well. 파워볼사이트

Accordingly, China is expected to adopt a strategy of first defense and then counterattack, which is usually used when the opposing team is stronger.

Chinese media 'Sohu.com' quoted 'Beijing Youth News' on this day and said, “The strong Korean team is recognized as one of the candidates for the championship. “It will not be easy for the Chinese team to score in this tournament,” he said. “The Chinese team will seek opportunities with a defense-focused counterattack against the Korean team, which has strong offense and a variety of deployment methods.”

‘Sina Sports’ also recently analyzed, “Korea’s offense relies too much on the sides, so players located in the center have difficulty seizing opportunities.” He said, “It is worth studying the performance that the Korean team showed in the UAE game for the Chinese coaches,” and predicted that the Chinese team will come up with a strategy to block the Korean defense in the second game based on a lot of defense that covers the sides. Chinese coach Cheng Yaodong also said through AFC on the 18th, “We will continue to use our pre-planned strategy,” and “We will focus on moving the ball faster and finding counterattack opportunities. “I hope our players will show a better performance,” he said, indicating that the strategy of first defense and then counterattack, as predicted by the Chinese media, will be used in the game against Korea. However, it seems unlikely that China's expectations and strategies will work on the ground. Korea has a significant advantage over China in its historical record. The Korean U-23 national team has faced the Chinese U-23 national team 17 times so far and has recorded 12 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. Jeong Sang-bin (Minnesota), who joined the team ahead of the UAE game, is also expected to appear in this day's game. If Jeong Sang-bin, who is quick on his feet and has good composure in the box, joins the team, it will be difficult to stop Korea, which has good offensive power.  19가이드03
