On June 27, Beijing time, the dust settled on the top 18 of the Asian World Preliminary Championship, and the Chinese men's football team was assigned to the fiercely competitive Group C, competing with Asian powerhouses Japan, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Indonesia for a qualifying spot. This grouping undoubtedly poses a higher challenge to the national football team, because the opponents include the first-tier teams in Asia, and the road to qualification is full of unknowns and hardships.
However, in this "group of death", it is not without turnarounds. Japan, Australia, and Saudi Arabia are evenly balanced, and the matchup between them is likely to fall into a stalemate, providing a rare respite for the national football team. But in the same way, these three teams also have the potential to pinch the national football team as a "soft persimmon". At the same time, although Bahrain and Indonesia are not traditional powerhouses, their strength should not be underestimated, and it is not easy for the national football team to win easily.
In the face of such a grim situation, the national football team must have a clear goal and go all out. In the match against Bahrain and Indonesia, the national football team will need to show strong fighting spirit and strength, strive to win at home and away, and accumulate enough points for themselves. For Japan, Australia and Saudi Arabia, the national football team needs to formulate reasonable tactics to give full play to the home advantage, at least to ensure that they do not lose points at home.
Looking back on the past performance of the World Preliminaries, the national football team has played well at home, drawing or even defeating strong opponents. Therefore, the national football team needs to learn from these experiences and prepare well to meet every game in the best condition.
In this competitive group, the battle for the standings will be fierce. If the national football team can play steadily and play to its advantages, it is not impossible to get a place in the play-offs. Of course, this requires the joint efforts and hard work of all the soldiers of the national football team. Let's look forward to the national football team showing more outstanding performance in the next games and winning glory for the country!
