The competition committee of the Asian Football Confederation recently announced that China will host the 42nd U20 Asian Cup in 2025, which undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm into Chinese football.According to the latest decision, the Chinese U19 National Youth Team will directly advance to the final stage and participate as the first seed team, which provides favorable conditions for the team to avoid encountering strong opponents in the group match.However, despite the advantages of the host team, the Chinese National Youth Team also faces some new challenges and problems.
As the host, the Chinese U19 National Youth Team does not need to participate in the U20 Asian Cup qualifier in September this year, which means that the team lacks the opportunity to exercise in the formal competition before the final stage.The new rules of the Asian Football Confederation clearly point out that the host will not be able to participate in the qualifying match from 2024.Therefore, the Chinese National Youth Team can only maintain its competitive status by arranging international warm-up matches.However, according to reporter Ma Dexing, as the warm-up match is not an official match, clubs may be reluctant to release people when the game enters a critical stage, which will affect the training effect and preparation quality of the National Youth Team.
In fact, there is a long-standing contradiction between the long-term intensive training of China's national youth team and the club.The previous several long-term training sessions have caused dissatisfaction of the club, because these training sessions often conflict with the club's league tournament and preparation plan.This time, the situation is still the same. The local clubs probably won't agree to release people on non international match days, which will cause some difficulties for the preparation of the National Youth Team.Therefore, the reporter revealed that the Chinese Football Association will once again coordinate between the club and the national team to coordinate the interests of all parties.
The coordination ability of the Chinese Football Association will be tested again at this time.The Football Association needs to communicate effectively with all clubs to ensure the smooth progress of the league and keep a complete line-up of the National Youth Team in the warm-up match.Only through reasonable arrangement and sufficient coordination can the National Youth Team be fully trained and prepared before the final stage of the U20 Asian Cup in February 2025.
Although the Chinese U20 National Youth Team has certain advantages as the host, it is still a major challenge to improve the team's strength through reasonable arrangement of training and warm-up matches in the absence of formal matches.The coordination and management ability of the Chinese Football Association will play a key role in this process. Fans will also pay close attention to the preparations of the National Youth Team and look forward to their success in the matches at home.(CSL ball review)
