Re: AFC U-19 Championship 2012 Qualifiers GAME REPORT: http://www.the-afc.com/en/component/joomleague/?view=report&compID=421&matchId=4003 CHINESE PLAYERS TO WATCH: Shi Ke - Chinese media keep mentioning him Liu Binbin - former FC Metz trainee Wang Tong - one of the brightest talents from Shandong Luneng POST MATCH COMMENTARY - INDONESIA The Indonesian coach mentioned the although his team is rather short in height, the players possess strong technical ability to keep the game to a draw. Couple of the Indonesian players play/played in Uruguay (where they have a project in 2008 of sending a number of Indonesian players to Uruguay to learn South American football). POST MATCH COMMENTARY - CHINA Apparently the Chinese team had many scoring chances but they failed to score. The game was affected by heavy rain and wind, and couple of the Chinese media outlet lashed at the youth team for failing to win against a "weak team". Jan Olde Riekerink said he is content with the result, especially the weather was horrible. He stressed the players are not showing their full ability and not being calm enough in front of the goal.
Re: AFC U-19 Championship 2012 Qualifiers I think those chinese Media didn't know that this Indonesian U-19, is a mix of Indonesian U-17 and U-19 that compete in Uruguay League U-17 and U-19 from 2008 and 2009 until now. Only 3 players from this Indonesia U-19 are taken from local club in Indonesia. The rest are still playing in Uruguay. I am hoping that China and Indonesia will qualify from this group.
