The results of the draw for the round of 18 were announced, and the Chinese men's football team entered the group of death, facing the three traditional giants basically has no chance of winning, and I am afraid that only the fourth and sixth "weak teams" can win, but in fact, it is not easy for the national football team to win any game.

Of the five opponents in the same group of the national football team, Japan is undoubtedly the strongest, almost locking the top two and directly qualifying places, Australia is also a top team in Asia, and Saudi Arabia is not as good as its peak, but it has also defeated Messi's Argentina in the World Cup.

Therefore, against the 6 games against these 3 strong teams, the national football team basically cannot win, and it takes a lot of luck to get a draw.

In contrast, Bahrain and Indonesia seem to be two relatively easy "bones" to gnaw on from the world rankings, and they are also the hope of the national football team to win. If they can beat them, then the national football team has a good chance of finishing in the top four. Unfortunately, however, these two "weak teams" are also difficult to deal with.

Indonesian football has developed rapidly in recent years, on the one hand, the youth training is good, and more importantly, it is a large-scale naturalization, only in the first half of this year, more than 11 people have been naturalized, and they are all in the year of play! They will continue to naturalize in the future, with Samp on loan Inter goalkeeper Odero, Premier League Crystal Palace's Ryedwald, Eredivisie players Ayatollah Romeni and Hillges, and FC Copenhagen defender Dix all likely to join.

With such a "Dutch three teams", can the national football team really play? A draw may be more likely, but it's really hard to beat your opponents, even at home.

As for Bahrain, it is indeed a relatively soft "persimmon" in the fourth pot, but the world ranking is already higher than that of the national football team. And in this year's Asian Cup, although they lost to Japan and South Korea, they scored goals and defeated the eventual runner-up Jordan. In the round of 36, Bahrain drew with the United Arab Emirates, and the Gulf Cup won consecutive victories over Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

Bahraini players are mostly domestic, but the main centre-forward Youssef Hilal plays in the Czech First League, scoring eight goals and providing three assists last season, having previously played in the Champions League and Europa League. And winger Ali Madan is worth 3 million euros, which is also more than all national football players.

To sum up, since the national football team can't win against Lebanon, Tajikistan, Singapore and Thailand, is it certain that they will win against Indonesia and Bahrain? Of course not! Therefore, the top 18 matches won 10 games and 0 wins, which is by no means alarmist, and if it can't win, the national football team will definitely miss the World Cup.
