Tonight at 7:35 PM! China U23 faces Vietnam in Xi'an, missing key players, victory will be challenging!

On March 31 Beijing time, the third round of the CFA Xi'an International Youth Football Championship kicks off. A key match arrives as China U23 meets its final opponent Vietnam, facing a major test. The match will start precisely at 7:35 PM today. Migu Video will provide live coverage. Due to missing key players, securing a win will be very difficult!

This tournament serves as preparation for the Asian Games. The U23 national team, stationed at the Xi'an International Football Center, has faced three opponents. Two matches have been completed, both involving trailing behind and then equalizing, demonstrating strong resilience. In the first match against Thailand, which employs a fast, agile style emphasizing speed, we trailed 0-2 but fought back to a 2-2 draw. The second match against North Korea, which played with full effort and strong physicality, saw us comprehensively pressured, yet we managed a 1-1 draw via a penalty kick. Such results are actually acceptable, considering this U23 squad is essentially a substitute lineup, with inherent strength likely inferior to the opponents. Avoiding defeat is already commendable!

The overall standings are currently in a chaotic scramble. The top three teams all have a chance to contend for the championship. We rank second in the standings, behind only Thailand, retaining hope for the title. That requires defeating Vietnam in the third round and striving for a substantial victory. Vietnam's style resembles Thailand's—fast and agile with excellent footwork skills. Therefore, we can adopt tactics similar to those used against Thailand: playing a high-ball game, utilizing height advantage to dominate the opponent!

Due to some injury concerns within our team, availability for this match remains uncertain. However, the match time is confirmed: it will commence precisely at 7:35 PM tonight. Migu Video will arrange live coverage. China Mobile's Migu, as the authorized broadcaster for the CFA China Team Xi'an International Youth Football Championship, will broadcast the entire tournament. Viewers can confidently tune in. Let's cheer for the national team together. When paths cross, the brave prevail—let's wait and see!
