On-site | Yan Junling: I hope young people can accumulate experience and feel the gap between the league in this game

July 15th, the Chinese team defeated the Hong Kong team 1-0. Special correspondent Li Hang sent a report from the front of South Korea and interviewed Yan Junling in the mixed-raiser area after the game.

Talking about the East Asian Cup journey

Yan Junling: For the team, adapting to each other is more and more, because the old and new are alternating, many young players also have the opportunity to play. We can see that we played better in one game. I hope these young players can accumulate more experience in the game.

Do you think this competition mission has been completed?

Yan Junling: I think we have several purposes for the East Asian Cup this time. One is to train young players through such competitions and let young players feel the rhythm of the international competition. Through these three games, we have also achieved such a purpose.

In the next stage, should you continue to be selected to complete the national team's new and old alternation

Yan Junling: First of all, I am honored to be selected for the new national team. I think I am also a passer-and-leader, helping young players, including Yu Jinyong and Xue Qinghao, all have great potential, and we communicate a lot in our daily lives.

Yan Junling: I ended up playing three games due to injuries or something, but I will also tell them what will happen in international competitions through these three games.

What should be done in the next cycle

Yan Junling: Through this East Asian Cup, we can feel the gap between the leagues very intuitively. We should improve our leagues. The league is a good platform for training players. We can see that the players in the K-League and J-League all have good performances in the league and only jump to Europe after adapting to the rhythm. We need to do the league step by step first, because the league is the foundation of a national football.
