Is the captain of the U22 national football team the strongest anti-Korean hero? His style is similar to De Ligt, the backbone of the national football team’s defense

In the Panda Cup competition that ended this year, the Chinese team had one win, one draw and one loss, and finally won the runner-up place. The one who played the longest time in the three games was Liu Haofan, the captain of the Chinese U22 team. This can also be seen from the trust and affirmation of head coach Antonio.

As the main central defender of the Chinese U22 team, Liu Haofan defends steadily and has a precise long pass. He is somewhat similar to the Dutch team's De Ligt. Especially in the Panda Cup game, he showed his ability and level.

Faced with the pressing of the opponent's forward players, he was able to deliver the ball safely without haste. At the same time, he was able to pass precise passes in the backcourt when the Chinese team counterattacked, which also helped the Chinese team score a key goal against the South Korean team.

It is worth mentioning that the Chinese team has recently won the South Korean team twice, and Liu Haofan is undoubtedly one of the anti-Korean heroes. In the March game, relying on his goal, the Chinese team won the South Korean team 1:0. In the last game, Liu Haofan's assist helped the Chinese team lead the South Korean team. In the two games, he contributed a goal and an assist. These two victories also allowed the Chinese team to have more confidence when facing the South Korean team in the future.

I remember Liu Haofan once said in a previous interview that he was originally trained as a sprinter. When he first started playing football, he played in the forward position, and later gradually moved to the defensive position. This also gave him a natural advantage in predicting the position of the ball and quickly chasing back, and also gave him such distinctive technical characteristics.

In the three games of this Panda Cup, Liu Haofan's personal characteristics and technical abilities have indeed demonstrated the strength of the captain of the U22 national team. In addition, he has been selected for the Chinese men's national football team before. It can be seen that the current national team respects and trusts him. If he can continue to improve his ability and level in the next season, in time, Liu Haofan will definitely be the backbone of the Chinese men's national team defense!
