– U23 Vietnam has just equalized and got 1 point from the defending champion of Asia U23. I don’t dare think that China U23 can do the same thing.

– I watched both matches yesterday, U23 China is inferior to U23 Vietnam and U23 Thailand by 1 level, losing 2 places to U23 Korea. If they fall into this group instead of Malaysia U23, China U23 will lose all 3 matches and get quite a few goals.

– Southeast Asian football is progressing so quickly, they are ready for bigger goals.

– After watching U23 Vietnam, I was no longer surprised when the Vietnamese team beat China again.

– Honestly, looking at the progress of the central regional teams, I think it’s only a matter of time before Chinese football lags behind.

– Vietnamese football has built a youth league system for many ages while Chinese football has almost forgotten about this area. It’s easy to understand why Chinese football keeps falling behind because where can you find young talent to supplement the teams.
