The draw for the round of 18 is over, and the Chinese men's football team has entered the group of death, which is very difficult, so is there any drama in entering the World Cup? Or is it already possible to say goodbye in advance?

According to the rules, the top two teams in the group of the round of 18 will qualify directly, the third and fourth will play in the Asian play-off group stage, and the fifth and sixth will be directly out, and the goal of the national football team is obviously to fight for the fourth, so although it is a fifth pot team, it must squeeze out at least two competitors.

I have to say that the signing of the national football team is really not very good, the sixth did not draw the weakest Kuwait, the third gear did not draw the more familiar Uzbekistan, the second gear did not draw Iraq, the first gear did not draw Iran or the most familiar South Korea, only the results of the fourth gear are quite satisfactory.

The specific results of the draw are as follows:

Group A: North Korea, Kyrgyzstan, UAE, Uzbekistan, Qatar, Iran

Group B: Kuwait, Palestine, Oman, Jordan, Iraq, South Korea

Group C: Indonesia, China, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Japan

Let's take a look at them one by one: although Indonesia is the sixth team, theoretically the weakest team, and the opponent of the national football team who should score the most points, their naturalization has flourished, and they are nicknamed the "Dutch second team", and the naturalized players will continue to increase, and the strength will improve very quickly, and the national football team has no certainty of winning.

Bahrain is considered to be the weaker team in the fourth pot, but this year's Asian Cup also qualified for the group, and only lost 1 game in the round of 36, which is not easy to play.

Although Saudi Arabia has declined seriously in recent years and is not at its peak, it defeated Argentina in the World Cup, and lost to South Korea on penalties in the Asian Cup.

Needless to say, Australia is more restrained in terms of technical ability and style of play. And Japan is definitely the strongest Asian team, almost locking a place directly into the World Cup finals!

Let's take a look at the head-to-head record, according to the statistics of the German transfer,

The national football team played against Indonesia in 9 games, 6 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, 3 games and 3 draws against Bahrain, 14 games, 5 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses against Saudi Arabia, 4 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses against Australia in 14 games, and 6 wins, 6 draws and 11 losses in 23 games against Japan. Only against Indonesia has the advantage, but the opponent is not what it used to be.

However, the national football team is not completely without opportunities, according to the schedule, the first three rounds are played by the top three teams, it is difficult to get points, but in the fourth round, we play at home against Indonesia, if we can use the home advantage to win 3 points, then it is a huge boost for the race for four. And in the fifth round, it is away against Bahrain, and it is also trying to get points, at least 1 point.

In the last two rounds of the second round, that is, the 9th and 10th rounds, the national football team will enter the sprint moment for the fourth, and the away game against Indonesia will also strive for victory, and the home game against Bahrain will strive to get three points, if this can be done, the fourth place is not completely out of reach.
