preface
Qualifier stage 3: 0-7 defeat to Japan, in Dalian by 10 Saudi Arabia, the national football team really lost face this time!
You say that it's just a loss, and a key loss is a loss.
The 11 players on the field looked like they had no fighting spirit, and they played in the style of "old man walking".
No wonder the fans said: I can do it too! After the game, Wang Dalei bluntly said "faceless interview"!
However, what is even more disappointing and worrying for Chinese fans is that throughout these two games, many problems exposed by Chinese football are really unspeakable, no wonder some people say that this is the worst in the past 25 years!
Sure enough, the Chinese men's football team, in line with the concept that there is no lower limit, only a lower limit, directly came to the "two flowers" inside and outside the field, and many former international players were "banned for life" one after another, what is going on?
Looking at the just-concluded contest with Saudi Arabia, what else do the national players have to say this time? "Don't even want your face"? Looking to go on an expedition to Australia in October, I wonder if the local sea cucumbers can be managed?
For 26 years in a row! "Invincible" against Japan
September 5 was a night that humiliated Chinese football again, and despite the various predictions of fans before the game, they looked at the match with the "first brother in Asia" Japan with as optimistic attitude as possible, but the national football team still gave us another "big surprise".
Although the gap between the strength and value of the two sides is obvious, as long as they do their best and do not leave regrets, then the Chinese fans who have been chasing the game for so many years will not be so angry, attacking the top Wu Lei, and even said before the game that they know very well the playing style of the Japan team.
Head coach Ivan lined up a 442 formation, also focusing on defensive counter-attacks, but only 12 minutes later, Japan's Endo Hang scored with a header, and China lost even their only advantage - air supremacy, but the nightmare was still to come.
In stoppage time in the first half, Kaoru Mikasa once again broke through Wang Dalei's ten fingers with a head, and the national football team fell behind 0:2 at halftime, optimistic fans at this time believe that as long as they have a good rest, strengthen defense in the second half, and Japan team 0 in the second half, it is not unacceptable to end with this score.
However, in the second half, Japan turned into a "green shadow bomber" and bombarded the Chinese team's goal, first Takumi Minamino scored two consecutive goals in 7 minutes, and then Hisashi and two substitute Japan players scored one after another, and the Chinese team lost 0:7 completely.
Looking at the whole game, the possession rate was three or seven, the number of shots on target was 0 to 9, the national football team was difficult to organize even a decent threatening attack, as soon as the results of this campaign came out, the network instantly exploded, you must know that "no one can lose to Japan", but the Chinese men's football team has lost for 26 years.
The last time the national football team defeated the Japan men's football team was back in 1998, when it was the golden generation of men's football, but now it is not what it used to be, with a record of 8 losses and 6 draws in 26 years, and General Fan Zhiyi Fan can only sigh when he sees this.
However, the most infuriating thing is the one against Saudi Arabia in Dalian, which perfectly explains what it means to give hope and disappoint.
Shame on the doorstep! Saudi Arabia is interesting enough
To say that the most amazing group of people in world football, there is no one more than national football fans, watching the game is like a roller coaster, not winning an international championship in decades, the fans still love deeply, who made this our home team?
However, mourning its misfortune and anger are indisputable, if there are still a large number of complaints about Japan fans, but it can be described as heartache for Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia sent an "oolong gift" in the opening 14 minutes, and was sent off by a red card in less than 20 minutes.
However, it was under this "dream start" that it was still difficult for the Chinese pair to score a goal, but instead allowed the Saudis to equalize at half-time, and they were even more miserable in the 90th minute.
Wu Lei single-handedly mixed garlic with the soles of his feet, and came to a "flat fall", and when he fell, he didn't get up and fight again when he fell, but lay on the ground and looked back, thinking that the referee would give you another penalty? Isn't it very decisive in the club, how did it become a "soft-footed shrimp" at the critical moment of the national team!
This has to make Saudi Arabia also deeply insightful: "Chinese men's football team! It's not that it won't give you a win, let you add one goal to one person, it's that you don't use it! ”
Indeed, none of us can blame us for this loss, Saudi Arabia is not releasing water, this is releasing the entire Pacific Ocean! We can only blame ourselves for not being able to win, and after the game, the People's Daily pointed out that "one general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted".
As we all know, the national football team has overnutrition caused by eating sea cucumbers all year round, and the amount of exercise caused by driving luxury cars often leads to physical exhaustion in the second half of the game, but at this time, coach Ivan did not make timely substitution adjustments.
Is it a tie or a three-tie? The head coach was ambiguous, which led to "improper employment", and also paid a painful price for it, the moment the final whistle blew, tens of thousands of Chinese fans in the stadium couldn't sit still, pointing to the coach who was over half a hundred years old in the stadium and scolded, get out of class! Class!
However, after fading the passion of the game and returning to calm and sanity after the game, many fans said that the loss to the Saudi coach was not the "culprit", but the corruption of the Chinese football system formed for decades, the manipulation of the game off the field and the control of the selection with interests!
At this time, look at General Fan's words many years ago, change the soup and not the medicine! It is worthy of being called the "Bible of Chinese Football", and the gold content is still rising, but the stadium is boiling, and the State General Administration of Sports has finally made a move off the field!
Match-fixing? Banned for life!
On September 10, 2024, just a few days after losing to Japan, there was a "good news" from the Chinese football community, since the rectification of football "fake gambling black" two years ago, 120 suspected gambling and match-fixing games have been confirmed, and hundreds of suspects have been arrested.
34 people involved in the football industry were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment or above, and 43 people including Kim Kyung-do were banned for life and could not engage in any football-related activities!
In this regard, the former CCTV sports commentator and famous old man Han Qiaosheng also stood up to speak out, the intensity of this announcement is so great that almost all important leagues are involved, can Chinese football still be good!
The "point of no return" of Chinese football
0-7 loss to Japan You said that the gap in strength is obvious, leading one person and one goal was killed by Saudi Arabia, this is really more embarrassing than a game, so many years, national football fans have scolded and scolded, pain has also hurt, but it is "death without repentance", now the group is at the bottom, in October expedition to Australia, who dares to hope?
The national football team has really become a joke now, everyone should take a look at it as a joke, after all, it is already so bad, how bad can it be?
I have to say that the fans are really receptive, and when it comes to those big football countries in Europe and the United States, the fans have long "captured" the national team headquarters!
"There is not much time left for the Chinese team", this sentence of helplessness in the commentary seat deeply reflects the current situation of the Chinese men's football team, how long will it take for the national football team to break out of Asia and enter the World Cup, 2050? 3018? When the time comes, there will be another "once in a thousand years", and it will really be a moment that will "go down in history"!
At present, if you want to go further back, the top 4 in the group will enter the fourth stage, and even compete for the top 2 to go straight to the 2026 US-Canada-Mexico World Cup, and the hope of promotion is only theoretical.
Because we not only need to fight for our own anger, but also look at the "face" of others, and passively put our fate in the hands of other countries, Japan and Saudi Arabia have already lost a round, and Australia, Bahrain and Indonesia are not easy to deal with "good stubble".
The national football team fights every year, and returns in vain every year, I really don't know what kind of mentality the next game should be watched!
