China U16 Children s Day gift, against Australia, test tactical execution under high-intensity confrontation

6:42pm, 30 May 2025Football

On Children's Day, China U16 will face the Australian U16 national team at home. Compared with the first match of Saudi Arabia, the Australian team has higher intensity and quality of pressing, and the Australian U16 players have an advantage in terms of height and explosiveness compared to the Chinese team. On Children's Day, can the Chinese team's little brothers give examples to children with football dreams? Let's wait and see.

The performance started high and ended low in the first game. Kuang Zhaolei had to work harder. In the first game of the Four Nations, Kuang Zhaolei, a player who was highly anticipated, first used a header to assist his teammates, and completed several beautiful breakthroughs in the first half.

But after the Saudi team pressed him closely, and even hit him with one-on-two, Kwong Zhaolei's performance was much worse than before. The number of times he used the speed to get rid of the ball was declared a failure, but his personal ability to get rid of the ball was insufficient.

Compared with the lack of ability to get rid of, Kuang Zhaolei has strong self-confidence in breakthroughs and has always wanted to solve the problem by dribbling the ball. However, from his personal performance, his performance is significantly different from He Sifan, Xie Jin, and Shuai Weihao.

Australia's pressing intensity is high, testing the technical ability of young players in the battle

In the first game, although the Saudi team was defeated by the Chinese team, their restrictions on the Chinese team were already very good. The young men in China's U16 were difficult to turn around after taking the ball on their backs, and were even suppressed by their opponents for a long time in the game. In this game, the Chinese U16 boys may face greater pressure. Whether the boys can perfectly realize the coaching staff's tactical plan is worth looking forward to.

In this game, Kuang Zhaolei, He Sifan, and Xie Jin need to continue to show their abilities. What the Chinese team needs to show is the ability to cooperate in the middle and pass directly. Hopefully, we can see more longitudinal passes in this game.
