It s a big deal! U20 Chinese women s football team 6-0 Syria, after the game coach Colin Bell expressed his objective view

The just-concluded game against Syria was 6-0. We won, and we won the first game of the qualifiers and also the first game of zero. We scored four in the first half and two in the second half. This start was in line with our expectations.

The game process, I need to say a few points. The four goals in the first half were very clear: they all made a pass from the wing, or they were long passes in the backcourt to directly find the forward. Lu Jiayu's first ball, in the 10th minute, was a shovel shot after receiving the ball in the penalty area,

The second ball, in the 30th minute, she scored with a volley in front of the goal, Zheng Lu's volley in the 40th minute, and Zhang Yiqian's push shot in the first half were all taking advantage of our high point advantage in the frontcourt. The Syrian team did encounter difficulties in defending such high-altitude balls and crossings. This is a point we implemented more clearly today.

Speaking of personal performance, Lu Jiayu scored two goals today. As a forward, her two times in front of the goal turned the opportunity into goals. This is what the forward should do. Huang Jiaxin played the whole game today. She ran and responded on the wing and participated in many offenses. Young players could perform stably, which is very good.

Regarding the team, we made some personnel adjustments before the game, recruited several players from Liaoning and Jiangsu. Wang Aifang and Liu Chen started today. Judging from the game, the connection between the midfield and backcourt and the frontcourt was smooth, and the rhythm of offense and defense conversion was controlled. The players recruited brought immediate combat effectiveness, which achieved our purpose of adjustment.

We temporarily recruited players before the game because we needed stronger combat power to deal with this qualifier. The goal was very clear: we wanted to win the first place in the group and directly advance to the U20 Asian Cup in Thailand next year. Our group includes Syria, Cambodia, and Lebanon. From the perspective of strength comparison, we are the dominant, and today's score also reflects this. In this big victory, the foundation was laid, we played the advantages of high-altitude balls, and the offensive efficiency was also good. The newly added players were integrated into the system, and young players such as Lu Jiayu and Huang Jiaxin also showed their abilities, which were all positive factors.

However, this victory is only the first step. I must remind everyone and the outside world: this is the U20-level Asian Cup qualifier. The overall strength of the opponent Syrian women's football team is indeed limited. The score cannot tell everything. The real test is in the next two games, against Cambodia and Lebanon. In the football match, any situation can happen. If we relax because of this big victory and feel that the next two games will be very relaxed, it is very dangerous. The risk of "scrowding in the gutter" has always existed.

Therefore, we must maintain the confidence brought by this victory, but the problems exposed during the game need to go back and watch the video analysis carefully. For example, under the opponent's high pressure press, can we still be more relaxed in the midfield and backcourt shooting? After leading a lot, will the concentration fluctuate in certain periods of the second half? These are all areas that need improvement.

The core of the next preparation is to stay focused and keep hungry. Progressing in the top spot in the group is our only goal. Facing Cambodia and Lebanon, we must show the same attitude towards the game as today, and even better, not underestimate the enemy at all. We must try our best every minute to make good use of our advantages, and at the same time make more detailed tactical arrangements based on the characteristics of different opponents.

Today's performance was a good start. Everyone has worked hard, so they go back and have a good rest, and then focus completely on the next game. , The road is still long, fight one by one, remember our goals!
