“You be good”.
China lost 0-3 to South Korea in their second Group C match at the FIFA Confederations Cup North America 2026 in Asia at the Shenzhen Universiade Sports Center in Shenzhen, China, on June 21.
After a 2-1 win over Thailand in their first group game, China were lethargic at home against South Korea. 아톰카지노
The win keeps South Korea atop the group with 6 points (8 goals scored and 8 goals conceded) after two games. At the same time, Thailand, which lost its first game, defeated Singapore 3-1 to move into second place, tied with China on points (1-1) and goal differential (Thailand +2, China +1).
The national team brought a lineup that was not much different from their usual one. With Hong Hyun-seok out due to injury, Park Yong-woo came in to replace him, and the team went all out with key players like Son Heung-min, Lee Kang-in, and Kim Min-jae. South Korea ran out 3-0 winners, with Son Heung-min scoring a brace in the first half and Jung Seung-hyun finishing off a Son cross in the 43rd minute.
Despite being outclassed throughout, the Chinese have been praising their players and coach Jankovic. They only conceded three goals despite the difference in quality. In fact, if you look at the name value of the lineup, this difference doesn’t seem so serious.
Before the game, former Chinese national team players offered their own advice, including Chinese soccer legend Fan Zhiyi, who played 106 games (17 goals) for the Chinese national team and went on to play for Cardiff City and Crystal Palace, who gave his official analysis of how to beat South Korea on the broadcast.
However, Pan Zhiyi never beat South Korea in his career, playing for the Chinese national team from 1992 to 2002. Chinese journalist Zhao Jian commented, “How can Fan Zhiyi lecture on how to beat South Korea. His generation has never beaten South Korea in the first place.” “Oh, and they couldn’t even beat Iran back then,” he added.
Another journalist, Xu Jiang, said, “The veterans who have recently retired from the national team talk as if we Chinese soccer fans have no memory. “They talk as if they won against South Korea and Japan, but it’s the same as it was then.” “They bring up the past and claim they did well,” he criticized.
“The retired players are usually the ones who were criticized by the national team when they were active. They’ve done a lot of stupid things, and when they retire, they talk like they’ve suddenly woken up to soccer. If that’s the case, it would be better if they were good when they were active,” he said, mocking Chinese OBs who criticize active players.
