In this way, if some old players are unable to play due to unpredictable reasons, young players can fill their positions in time and build the team in advance. There is a tacit understanding. But no matter what, winning and qualifying for the Asian Cup are our goals. At the same time, giving young players opportunities and accumulating experience in international competitions as soon as possible is also our important goal.”
