Soccer-Amid dark days for Chinese football, youth team provide glimmer of hope
Chinese football has offered few reasons for optimism in recent years but there was a sliver of light on the far horizon when the country's youth team departed Uzbekistan on Monday after exiting the Under-20 Asian Cup. Coach Antonio Puche and his team flew out of Tashkent after a narrow quarter-final defeat at the hands of 12-times champions South Korea that saw China narrowly miss out on a place at the U-20 World Cup in Indonesia later this year.
