Focusing on domestic football events, a unique perspective interpretation.
Be fair to state the point of view of the matter.

As we all know, at the end of last month, after the 18 strong groups of the World Preliminary Championship were released, various countries began to prepare for the next competition.
Among these countries, the countries that have been assigned to the same group as the Chinese team have also recently been interviewed by reporters and expressed some of their own views.
Just recently, Bahrain's national team leader Ahmed Salah Malala mentioned the upcoming round of 18 of the World Preliminary Championships in an interview.
He pointed out that he certainly hopes that Bahrain can go further, and even finally qualify for the top two in the group and be able to play directly in the main match of the World Cup.
He also pointed out that the draw was relatively fair and that each team had a chance to reach the final stage, but it was clear that he would like this opportunity to be reserved for Bahrain.
In the interview, for the Chinese team in the same group, Ahmad directly said that Bahrain does not know much about the Chinese team, although the current Bahrain coach has worked in the Chinese football circle and served as the coach of the Chinese Super League team, but so what, this experience does not provide them with much useful value information.
Bahrain's current impression of the Chinese team is still stuck in the Asian Cup.
During the Asian Cup, China did not perform well and even failed to qualify from the group, compared to Bahrain, which was even better.
As for the Chinese team, Bahrain knows more about South Korea or Japan, as Bahrain played both teams during the Asian Cup.
Therefore, judging from the performance of the Asian Cup, Bahrain's attention to the Chinese team is not ideal, and the Chinese team has not made Bahrain pay more attention.
He believes that the overall strength and performance of the Chinese team are not outstanding, even if the Chinese team changes coaches, Ivankovic may have some understanding of West Asian football, but the impact on Bahrain will not be too great.
Bahrain has a long time to study the Chinese team, but it is clear that the Chinese team will not reach the priority level for Bahrain to study at this stage.
At this stage, there will be 8.5 qualifying places for the round of 18 in Asia, and Ahmad believes that such a thing will provide more possibilities for Bahrain to qualify, and it is also an opportunity for various countries, including China.
However, Bahrain will surely seize this opportunity and try to come out on top in the qualifiers.
Ahmed said Bahrain is now focusing on Japan and Australia.
In the Asian Cup, Bahrain was in the same group as South Korea, and finally beat South Korea to qualify first in the group, and faced Japan in the knockout round, although they lost 1:3 in the end, they still performed well.
Such Bahrain is a direct competitor of the Chinese team at this stage, but the other party does not regard the Chinese team as a direct competitor.
This is somewhat frustrating.
I hope that the Chinese team can change the decline in the round of 18 and play tough football.
