On January 27, Beijing time, in the 7th round of the World Preliminary Round of 12 in the Asian Zone, the national football team visited Saitama 2002 World Cup Stadium to meet the Japanese team.
In the 12th minute, Wang Shenchao sent a point, Da Qiang Yong also won the penalty, in the first half of the game, the national football team did not even have a decent shot; in the 60th minute, the Japanese team Nakayama Yuta crossed from the left, the 2 defenders defending in front of the national football team were all leaked, Ito Junjun easily jumped up the header to attack the goal, Although Yan Junling made an accurate save direction, it was still to no avail. The Japanese team then extended the score to 2-0, and finally Japan won 2-0, winning four consecutive wins to continue to rank second in the group. After 7 rounds of matches, the national football team only scored 5 points, trailing the second place in the group Japan team reached 10 points, and with only the last 3 games left in the round of 12, the national football team has lost the opportunity to directly impact the World Cup. At present, the only remaining hope of the national football team is to impact the play-offs, which is the only theoretical hope left.
Although we all know that there is a large gap in strength between the national football team and the Japanese team, the whole game is completely suppressed, the number of shots on goal is 16 to 2, the result of the national football team 0 shots on target, the results of the sports battle 0 shots, somewhat hit the hearts of the fans. The gap between us and Japanese football is not just in terms of scores. There are clear gaps in youth football, professional football, technical and tactical styles, and the understanding of modern football. This gap can be gradually shortened through continuous learning and steady change!
In the game, Li Xiaopeng tried 3 moves, but in exchange for the opponent's 3 sticks. Just losing 2 goals will not make the national football players and even the majority of fans have a bad year of the tiger, and the result is barely acceptable. Li Xiaopeng's debut encountered such an embarrassing situation, after Li Tie resigned, Li Xiaopeng replaced the former as the new coach of the national football team, but the debut met Japan, and finally encountered the opening black. The 0-2 result was not surprising, and on January 27, 2022, at the Saitama 2002 Stadium, the Chinese team defeated the Japanese team. This was Li Xiaopeng's first game in office, reminiscent of the game at the Caliph International Stadium 147 days ago, the first round of 12 matches in which Li Tie led the Chinese team to participate, and the result was a 0-3 defeat. 147 days, different scores and the same result, different managers, from full confidence before the game to swallowing the result, in fact, Chinese football has been tossing. As the rookie coach of the national team, Li Xiaopeng just made the same mistake as Li Tie last year.
The national football team has not won in 24 years: after defeating Japan in the 1998 Danas Cup, the two teams have met 13 times in 24 years, the national football team has not tasted victory in 5 draws and 8 losses, and since the 2017 East Asian Cup, the national football team has lost 4 consecutive defeats against japan. The national football team trailed the 3rd group by 9 points: after losing to Japan, and Australia defeated Vietnam in this round, the national football team lagged behind the 3rd group Australia has reached 9 points, but the reason for the world preliminary round to see the goal difference first, the national football team was lucky not to be out of the 3 rounds in advance.
The next match of the national football team is played on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which is likely to become the day when the national football team officially misses the 2022 World Cup. In the next round, the national football team will face Vietnam, while Australia will face Oman. As long as Australia gets 1 point from Oman, the national football team will not help to defeat Vietnam. Next, "hard battles", whether the national football players will retain the remaining face, we will wait and see.
