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…

A superhero-style goal announced a full recovery, a scene eagerly anticipated by all Inter Milan fans. In the match against Empoli, the Nerazzurri struggled to break the deadlock, but captain Lautaro stepped up outside the box, drawing a beautiful arc with the ball. Despite the opposing goalkeeper's best efforts to touch it, he could not prevent it from finding the net. This was the image of Lautaro that people had in their hearts, but it had been rare this season. After the game, Lautaro said, "I went through a tough period before, but I always tried to help the team. I believe I did even during that time. Now my physical condition is good, and I'm returning to last year's form." As the fans put it, the Inter forward finally switched to a larger size, leaving Martinez to his homeland, Argentina. There were signs of this in the Supercup final loss to AC Milan, where Lautaro's adjustments within the box were light-footed, lacking the heaviness of the early season, seemingly reminiscent of his previous form against Milan. Unfortunately, they were ultimately overturned, largely overshadowing Lautaro's signs of recovery. Against Bologna, Lautaro was repeatedly targeted by the opposition defense, but he not only fulfilled his duties of dropping back to receive the ball and assist, but also scored a goal in a very stylish manner. Similar opportunities had seen Lautaro waste countless chances this season. The recovery of both body and mind has been beneficial. The mentality can be observed through ball handling, while the changes in the body are visibly…

In a friendly match that concluded on January 21st, Beijing time, the Chinese U20 men's football team (national youth team) faced off against the Thai U20 men's football team while training in Thailand. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, marking two consecutive winless friendlies for the national youth team during their Thai training camp. Prior to this match, the national youth team suffered a 1-4 defeat against the strong Korean league team, Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, in their first friendly during the Thai training camp.

The first half of the match saw no goals from either side. In the second half, at the 31st minute, Thailand unleashed a world-class shot from outside the penalty area, which hit the crossbar and went into the net, giving Thailand a 1-0 lead. However, just six minutes later, 19-year-old midfielder Chen Shihan, who plays in the Belgian league, responded with an impressive long-range shot from the top of the penalty arc, helping the national youth team equalize. Neither team managed to score again, resulting in a final 1-1 draw. According to the plan, the national youth team will face Yonsei University of Korea and Bangkok United U23 on the 25th and 26th of this month. They will then fly back to Shenzhen in the early hours of the 27th to disband locally. After the Spring…

Although Real Madrid has won two championship trophies since the arrival of Kylian Mbappe, the dominance of the "Galactic Battleship" has visibly declined. In the Spanish Super Cup final in the middle of the week, Real Madrid suffered a humiliating 2-5 defeat at the hands of their arch-rival Barcelona, which also plunged Carlo Ancelotti into a crisis of trust. After a few days of rest and recuperation, Real Madrid faced another test on this match day, hosting Celta Vigo in the round of 16 of the King's Cup at the Bernabeu Stadium. The focus of the fans was whether the "Galactic Battleship" could quickly recover. In this match, Mbappe created two goals on his own, with both sides drawing 2-2 in regular time. In extra time, Endrick scored twice and Valverde scored a stunning world-class goal, helping Real Madrid advance with a 5-2 victory. In the last 17 encounters between the two sides, Real Madrid has maintained an unbeaten record with 14 wins and 3 draws, giving them a clear psychological advantage. However, considering the tight schedule and another La Liga match in just two days, Ancelotti made some rotations in the lineup. In the 4-4-2 formation, Mbappe and Vinicius formed the double-pronged attack up front, while Modric, Diaz, Ceballos, and Chouameni, who performed poorly in the national derby, formed the midfield quartet. The backline consisted of Vazquez, Asensio, Rudiger, and Garcia, with Lunin guarding the goal. After the start of the game, Real Madrid did not quickly take the initiative, as Celta's counterattacks were quite fierce. In the 6th…

Although there were no major signings in last summer's transfer window, Inter Milan has maintained a strong competitive edge under the leadership of Simone Inzaghi. They are ranked among the top 8 in the UEFA Champions League and are just one point behind the top spot after 18 rounds in Serie A, with one game in hand. Before the second half of the league season begins, Inter faced a test in the semi-finals of the Italian Super Cup, with their opponent being the league leaders, Atalanta. Atalanta won the Europa League title last season and currently sits atop Serie A under the guidance of veteran coach Gian Piero Gasperini, making them a formidable opponent. However, Atalanta has had no advantage over Inter in recent encounters, suffering six consecutive defeats and not winning against them in seven years. In this match, Lautaro Martinez missed several goal-scoring opportunities, but Denzel Dumfries' two spectacular goals saved the day, leading to a 2-0 victory for Inter. This result eliminated Atalanta and secured Inter's fourth consecutive entry into the Super Cup final, where they await the winner between Juventus and AC Milan. To secure a place in the final, Inter lined up in their usual 3-5-2 formation, with Lautaro Martinez and Sébastien Haller as the front two. In midfield, Dumfries and Federico Dimarco provided the width, while Hakan Calhanoglu played as the single holding midfielder. Behind them were Robin Gosens, Stefan de Vrij, and Alessandro Bastoni, with Samir Handanovic in goal. Atalanta, on the other hand, opted for a more conservative approach with a 3-4-2-1…

In the fiery green battleground of La Liga, the clash between Real Madrid and Sevilla is a visual feast of passion and skill intertwined. As the opening whistle blows, Real Madrid emerges like a ferocious tiger out of the mountains, with fierce attacks. In the 10th minute, Rodrigo moves as agile as a cunning rabbit, weaving through the defense before making a clever pass. Mbappe, understanding perfectly, unleashes a powerful shot that flies like a cannonball into the bottom right corner of the goal. Real Madrid takes the lead 1-0, and the Bernabeu erupts in celebration, the waves of cheers almost lifting the roof off the stadium. Real Madrid scores again through a lightning-fast counterattack. Valverde receives the ball on the edge of the penalty area and without hesitation, unleashes a shot that streaks like a meteor across the moon, grazing the underside of the crossbar and into the net. Fernandez can only watch in awe as the score becomes 2-0. The game takes another turn when Rodrigo, like an artist on the field, makes a slight adjustment after receiving the ball outside the box and unleashes a stunning world-class goal. The ball flies like a guided missile into the top corner, putting Real Madrid ahead 3-0. In the 35th minute, Sevilla's Romero shines, connecting with a precise cross from the flank and leaping high to head the ball into the net, making it 1-3! Real Madrid then scores again through a team effort, with Diaz pushing the ball into the net for a 4-1 lead. At a crucial moment,…
