U23- Games of the XXXII Olympiad

[Iran_19]

My gut feeling is that the whole PSV thing is a distraction and he is anxious to get over there.

This, and too much pressure on 17 years old, like saving this team. He wasn't himself at all. He was trying to do a lot....This is the job of coaching staff.

I like to express my disappointment not about the players but about the decision made by the team manager and coach.
They made a strategic mistake and as a result the tactical mistakes can be neglected because they are less significant.
1. The same players that are in U21 will not all be going to Olympic games and to assume all need experience together was a mistake.
2. Some players who were too weak at certain spots should have been replaced by U23 players who would fill the holes.
3. using one or two great players from U23+ players should have been done to counter Korea and other teams. We saw in saudi game that we played poorly and got lucky. This team was too young and not ready to play against teams with full strength.
4.If we chose a team so weak and young and inexperienced then we should not cry after losing
5. We should never count the chickens for 2020 and lose the game today to prepare for 2 years later. The olympic team could get experience by camps and friendlies against some benched players from PGL. This would have been welcome by the bench warmers and also their PGL coaches who hardly use some players
6. estili and other guys are not great strategists and they tried to steal from peter to give to paul. They need to learn that they made big mistakes and without a plan these players have learned nothing from these 4 matches. I have to go to sleep, so excuse any typos.

Now i don't want focus on 17 years old Delfi, and blame him for this result, but he was pretty disappointing, yes he is 17 where most of players are between 20 to 22 and in this age few years older matter but he showed he can compete with adults last year in league and actually do pretty well. I don't know PSV distraction or too much pressure on him as savor was the reason or what, but hope he learn a lesson or two from this tournament which will help him for Olympics qualifiers. He proved in past he is for real.

Estili early in the tournament said the PSV talk is really distracting Delfi.
I don't blame the kid, he's 17. Of course he's going to get excited.
A good lesson for him.

The Iran-South Korea rivalry is at its highest right now

Can we have decent domestic coaches for youth teams? And no clowns like Estili?

Min 60
China U23
0-3 (0-3) Saudi Arabia U23

KSA have only Japan in his path to reach final


KSA scored 4th goal

[versusdamon]

Ok, so Saudi Arabia lost to North Korea - obviously on purpose - 3-0 against North Korea just to get the easy path and thrash China 4-0 now. Not the kind of sportmanship (wouldnt have expected it anyway from SA) but except for NK they are having decent results.

2 goals scored by a naturalized player from Sierra Leone by the way.

Clearly a Senegalese (apparently Sierra Leonese) import.
