China has attempted another “crazy tactic” that surprised the international soccer community.
He once again showed off his absurd tactics by using tall goalkeeper Yoo Jin-yong as a “field player joker.” Of course, the result was a huge failure.
South Korea’s U-23 national soccer team led by head coach Hwang Sun-hong beat China 2-0 in the second Group B match of the Asian qualifying round for the 2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-23 Asian Cup and the 2024 Paris Olympics at the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar, on the 19th (Korea time). One-top Lee Young-joon scored one goal each in the second half of the first half to win.
China unexpectedly dug into South Korea, but cried because of the lack of goal-scoring ability. South Korea has won two consecutive games and China has lost two consecutive games.
There was one thing that drew attention before kick-off in the game. It was whether Yoo Jin-yong, who played in the match against Japan on the 16th as a field player despite being a Chinese goalkeeper, would be used or not. Yoo Jin-yong, a 2-meter-tall candidate goalkeeper, surprised the Asian soccer community when he came in as a field player in the 43rd minute of the second half against Japan. The intention was to use it as a postplay, but it failed in the end, and China lost 0-1.
It was Yu’s use as a field player. At the time, Chinese media outlet Sohu sarcastically criticized the coaching staff when Chinese coach Cheng Yao-dong, who is leading the U-23 national team, deployed goalie Yu Jin-yong as the front-line striker at a time when the team was trailing Japan 0-1.
However, in the match against Korea, there were even reports that he could start as a striker, drawing attention.
Coach Cheng Yao-dong did not start Yu Jin-yong for now. China chose the back three on the day. Huang Zhao played as the gatekeeper, while Yang Zhao, Liang Xiaowon and Jin Sunkai were on the defensive line. Duan Douji, Tao Changlong, Jia Peipan and Luan Qilong stood in midfield. Liu Jurun and Xie Wenlong played side strikers, while Behram Abdouwei stood as one-top.
However, in the 37th minute of the second half, when the team was trailing 0-2, coach Cheong Yao-dong took out striker Tao Changlong and put Yu Jin-yong in.
Yoo was noticeable. As soon as he entered the stadium, he used his tall stature to block the Korean attack. However, Cheong Wa Dae did not make any additional effort and had little presence for 20 minutes until extra time in the second half.
Being a goalkeeper, he was slow to speed, so he left the ground without playing any role 유흥알바.
It was a skit created by collapsing Chinese soccer.
