Today, let's pay attention to the world preliminaries between the Chinese men's football team and the Thai team, when the whistle blows at the end of the game, I believe every fan has their own evaluation of this game. Let's put aside the results of this game, including after the end of this game, we will not talk about the form of the Chinese team's qualification, just look at this round of games, or the impact of these five world preliminaries on Chinese football, the prospect of the World Cup, and the prospects for future development.
First of all, we look at the three games played after Ivankovic came, especially this game against the Thai team, the reference value will be greater, after all, he has been in charge of the national football team for a few months, and he can also be selected according to the players he inspected. But even so, the squad we selected is not much younger than the squad in our Asian Cup, and there are no potential new stars selected, so even if Chinese football can advance to the next round of the game, considering that the World Preliminary Tournament is a very long process, these veterans will be older in the next round, their competitive state will continue to decline, and the frequency of injuries will slowly increase. So whether we can enter the 2026 World Cup, through the people selected by these coaches, everyone should be able to see,
In the past, the results of our Chinese men's football team in the Asian Cup were better than those in the world arena, why did this happen? Because the World Preliminaries Zhou Qi is very long, there will be a large consideration cycle for the depth of the team and the state of each season, unlike the Asian Cup, which is a cup competition. Just think about this month and you're fine. That's why it's common for us to reach the quarterfinals and semi-finals in the Asian Cup, but it's wishful thinking to get into the World Cup.
Second, at present, the Chinese men's football team is facing a team like Thailand, which is ranked about 15th in Asia, and can only play defensive counterattacks, as long as they dare to attack, they will be beaten through the defense line by the opponent, and they have no ability to control the ball in the opponent's half, that is to say, Thailand's team can still suppress us in the half, and wait until the round of 18, we are facing 12 in each group, but most of the opponents are stronger than the Thai team, in this case, in fact, the Chinese men's football team even if it enters the round of 18, It's just the birth of a few more tragedies, and the thought of entering the World Cup is simply empty talk.
Finally, take a look at the public opinion environment after this game, in fact, Chinese football has developed to this day, some fans, or pseudo-fans have also contributed a lot, I have always had a point of view, China's men's football level is bad, but the level of Chinese fans is even worse, whether the Chinese men's football team wins or loses, they have to scold, these players are in this extremely stressful environment, the pressure of the original game has made them breathless, and now they also need to open their mobile phones to look at the Internet to abuse themselves, The psychological pressure will be even greater.
Previously, many media people broke the news, and even some people were unwilling to be called up by the national football team. Why? From being called up by the national team in the past, it was an honorable thing, but now it has become a thing that everyone avoids, and now this bad public opinion environment has to go and contribute a lot. Therefore, combined with these three unfavorable factors, it is simply impossible to let the Chinese men's football team enter the World Cup in this environment.
