Before the game started, the U23 national football team ushered in a super good news first, and the Asian Cup qualifying is stable

At 19:35 pm on September 9, Group D of the U23 Asian Cup qualifiers will usher in a key battle, with China U23 against group leader Australia U23. Currently, the two teams have 6 points together, but due to the goal difference, the Chinese team is temporarily ranked second in the group.

According to the rules of the AFC, the top spots in each group and the second in the four best-scoring groups will advance to the main competition. If you cannot score points from Australia in this round, the prospect of qualifying for the Chinese team will become very serious. Therefore, this game not only concerns the group ranking, but also directly determines whether the team can enter the Asian Cup finals.

positive news came before the game, and the midfield core Xu Bin has resumed training and is expected to make a comeback in this key game. Xu Bin assumes an important role in the offensive and defensive transformation in the team, and his interception ability and passing organization are of great significance to the team's tactical execution. Especially when facing teams like Australia that are good at midfield control, his return will significantly enhance the team's midfield thickness.

From a tactical perspective, the Chinese team's offensive efficiency needs to be improved when facing intensive defense, and if the opponent adopts an active offensive strategy, it may leave room for the Chinese team to counterattack. Therefore, the strategic deployment of this game is particularly critical. Maintaining defensive stability and seizing counterattack opportunities will be an important way for the team to win points.

captain Liu Haofan said before the game that the team is fully prepared and will not let the opponent win easily. Considering that other groups are playing late, the results of this game may affect the tactical choices of other teams, so it is crucial for the Chinese team to win points.

This game will be broadcast live by CCTV5. Please pay attention to the performance of the Chinese U23 team in this key game.
