The U20 Asian Cup will officially kick off in the middle of next month. Currently, the Chinese U20 men's football team is actively preparing for the warm-up under the leadership of head coach Djordjevic. In the second warm-up match in Thailand, the Chinese U20 men's football team faced off against the Thai U20 men's football team. The result was a 1-1 draw, which also marked two winless matches since arriving in Thailand. Before the friendly match with the Thai U20 men's football team, the Chinese U20 men's football team had previously faced off against the Korean powerhouse Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors. The opponent is a Korean powerhouse with rich tactical experience. In the first half, the Chinese U20 men's football team held off the opponent's fierce attack and only conceded one goal. After changing sides to continue the game, the Chinese U20 men's football team remained passive in the situation. Therefore, after conceding two more goals in the second half, they immediately conceded another goal. Although Zhang Zhixiong scored a goal from a free-kick to pull one back, the Chinese U20 men's football team still lost 1-4 to the opponent. Looking at the game process, the Chinese U20 men's football team was completely overwhelmed. The matchup against the Thai U20 men's football team is the most suitable opponent for the Chinese U20 men's football team. On one hand, the age difference is minimal. On the other hand, the Thai U20 men's football team will also participate in the U20 Asian Cup. It can be seen that both sides are very much…

The U20 national football team played a friendly match against Thailand U20, ending in a 1-1 draw. The first half saw both teams scoreless, with a somewhat dull atmosphere. In the 31st minute of the second half, Thailand broke the deadlock with a stunning shot that skimmed the crossbar and flew into the net, putting U20 China behind 0-1. At a critical moment, Chen Shihan stepped up, scoring from long range at the top of the penalty arc to level the score. Neither side was able to change the scoreline thereafter, and the 1-1 result held until the final whistle. For this match, the starting lineup for U20 China included goalkeeper Liu Qiwei, defenders He Yiran, Peng Xiao, Shi Songchen, Yang Xi, midfielders Zhang Zhixiong, Chen Zeshi, Wang Yudong, Kuai Jiwen, Mao Weijie, and forward Liu Chengyu. It is worth noting that in a previous friendly match, U20 China lost 1-4 to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, indicating less-than-ideal form. The performance of U20 China in this game can be described as a mixed bag. On the positive side, the team did not collapse when trailing, and Chen Shihan's long-range shot showcased the individual abilities of the players. However, throughout the match, U20 China's offensive organization appeared disorganized, with insufficient midfield control, and the absence of Yimulan clearly hindered the team's flow. From the perspective of the players themselves, Chen Shihan's goal was the highlight of the game, with his long-range shot from the top of the penalty arc helping the team equalize. As one of the core midfielders for U20 China,…

With the flames of the U20 Asian Cup about to ignite, the entire Chinese football world is immersed in an atmosphere of anticipation and tension. This event is not only a stage for young players to showcase themselves and fulfill their dreams but also a crucial period for the national team's head coach to select future stars and plan for the long term. In this context, Ivan, the head coach of the national team, has become the focus of attention with his unique vision and rich experience. Every move he makes stirs the hearts of countless fans and media. Among the many promising new stars, Ivan's gaze has not solely focused on those who are well-known and talented. Despite the fact that domestic player Yamar Wang Yudong has already made a name for himself in the youth league with his excellent skills and keen sense of goal, and the prodigy Du Yuezheng has won numerous accolades for his agile movements and precise passing in midfield, there is another particularly special player in Ivan's heart: midfielder Yimulan. Yimulan may not be as well-known as Wang Yudong and Du Yuezheng, but his strength and potential cannot be underestimated. On the field, he stands out with his stable playing style, excellent strategic vision, and precise interception ability, becoming an indispensable barrier in the team's midfield. He can effectively connect the team's offensive and defensive systems and step up at critical moments with pinpoint passes or key interceptions to win valuable victory opportunities for the team. The reason why Ivan has a soft spot…
