In the semi-finals, China's U23 men's football team defeated Vietnam 3-0, marking the first time in history they have advanced to the final of this tournament! After a long 22-year wait, this day finally brought a breakthrough. Throughout this U23 Asian Cup, the Chinese team's progression has been steady and methodical, with this young squad demonstrating a solid growth trajectory!

Tonight at 11 PM, the Chinese team will face Japan in the championship match! Let's all cheer for China's U23 men's football team! "The MVP for the Chinese team is most likely to be awarded to Li Hao."

This China-Japan showdown also serves as the ultimate test of different AI prediction logics. We prepared the same set of questions and posed them to eight mainstream AI models currently available: ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Doubao, Yuanbao, Qianwen, Kimi, Wenxin Yiyan, and Lenovo Tianxi AI.

In the "score prediction" segment, all eight AI models forecast a point differential within 2 goals, indicating a closely contested match likely decided by a narrow margin. Notably, Qianwen and Kimi provided very specific responses, stating: "If the match goes into extra time or a penalty shootout, the Chinese team has a high probability of ultimately winning."

For the "MVP prediction" segment, most models gave dual answers. According to the predictions, the Chinese team's MVP is most likely to be goalkeeper Li Hao, who received 4 votes; Japan's MVP is most likely to be Sato Ryunosuke, who also received 4 votes.

In the "mutual guessing" segment, where the eight models were asked to identify which one might be the most accurate predictor based on their respective characteristics, the responses were relatively vague. Only Doubao rated itself highest, implying "I am the most accurate." The other models largely indicated that "it is unlikely any model will be completely accurate."

Yuanbao gave the most unique response, suggesting that "all discussions about the outcome of this match are essentially hypothetical deductions and simulated predictions, not reviews of actual match results. Asking 'which prediction is most accurate' holds no practical significance."

"Reaching the final is in itself a success." Throughout the inquiry process, multiple AI models expressed appreciation for the Chinese team's overall performance when drawing conclusions.

For instance, DeepSeek specifically emphasized at the end of its response: "For the Chinese team, shedding burdens, striving against the opponent, showcasing their spirit and tactical content—reaching the final is itself a success."

Qianwen stated, "Regardless of the outcome, this already represents the best performance by China's men's youth football team in 22 years. As the media says: the road to revival begins with daring to draw the sword." It further emphasized, "Japan holds a slight advantage, but China has the potential for an upset," adding, "May youth be without regret, sealing the victory with one strike!"

Lenovo Tianxi AI used a simple rhetorical question to boost morale: "After all, the ball is round. We've kept clean sheets all the way to the final, so why can't we create a miracle?!"

The 10 days during which the U23 national team made history: On the 14th, China's U23 men's team drew with Thailand, marking their first-ever advancement to the Asian Cup knockout stage; on the 17th, they defeated Uzbekistan, achieving their first-ever semi-final berth in the Asian Cup; on the 21st, they beat Vietnam, securing their historic first appearance in the Asian Cup final.

On the 24th, the Chinese team will face Japan. According to a CCTV News report, during yesterday's pre-match press conference, Chinese team head coach Antonio stated that winning the championship is a very big dream for the team, and they will fight with all their might. "Our mentality is excellent; the players have confidence in themselves. In football, believing in yourself is very important. Tomorrow we face Japan, a team that has defeated many world powerhouses—that is the situation we must confront."

He said, "We will give our best effort and certainly fight with full strength. The football world is realistic, but sometimes extraordinary things happen. We will try to make the unusual occur." Let us wish the Chinese team well and cheer them on together tonight!
