Australia is current AFC Asian Cup champion at senior level.
Their clubs are not doing that well in Asian Champions League. But then they are not attracting quality Foreign players like Chinese clubs.
Performance at U-16 level of Football does not necessarily corroborate at Senior Level. Last 4 AFC Asian Cup U-16 level champions were Iraq, North Korea, Uzbekistan, North Korea. They didnt even qualify for World Cup at senior level and they are not expected to win AFC Asian Cup at senior level.
We should not equate U-16 performances with senior level- many other factors come into play.
I understand the logic of playing deep but I don't think that will hold Korea for too long. We look confident only when playing natural game. The same is reflected once or twice when we moved forward. Else it is going to be barrage of attacks from Korea and we would yield sooner or later.
