The World Preliminary Round of 12 in Asia is about to rekindle the flames of war This round, the Chinese national football team will face the strong opponent Japan on the road. At present, the situation of the national football team in the group stage is not optimistic, so in the face of Japan, the national football team has no other way but to win if it wants to qualify. However, the strength of the national football team is obviously much worse than that of the Japanese team. This huge gap in strength has even triggered the "laughter" of the Japanese media.
Previously, the referee of the national football team against the Japanese team has been determined to be the well-known Asian referee Al Jassim. The referee has made a decision against the Chinese team in international competitions in the past, which has aroused the concern of the Chinese media. But in the eyes of the Japanese media, this is just an excuse for the national football team to lose.
The well-known Japanese sports media ゲキサカ published a prominent position in its overseas edition of the domestic media questioning Jassim. The media believes that this is a manifestation of The "inability to lose" in Chinese football.
The match between the Japanese team and the Chinese team will be launched on the 27th. But the Chinese side seems to be very worried about qatari Al-Jassim as referee. It is understood that when the news of Jassem's appointment as referee was announced, the Chinese media almost all expressed concerns, and some media even bluntly said that Jassim was the 'natural enemy of the Chinese team', and detailed the unfavorable judgment that Jassim had made to the Chinese team. ”
Of course, this rhetoric is not worth mentioning. First of all, the level of Chinese football is not high even at the Asian level, and it has always been more losses than wins, just like in this round of 12, the current record is only 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses. Secondly, in the match with the Japanese team, the Chinese team had anticipated losing in advance, so the question of the referee was like an excuse for losing. The media said.
However, in the game of Jassem's law enforcement, the Chinese team did leave a painful memory. In the 2020 U23 Asian Cup Championship, the Chinese team lost to Uzbekistan and did not qualify for the Olympic Games, and the referee on duty was Jassim; and in the 2019 Asian Cup, the national football team lost to South Korea and Iran, which was also enforced by Jassim. In a battle with the Japanese team, it seems that Jassim's penalty is worth paying attention to.
