In the third round of Group C of the third stage of the Asian round of 18 of the World Preliminary Championship, the national football team lost 1-3 to Australia. After the game, Wang Shangyuan expressed his thoughts on the game: We did our best, but gave Australia too many chances to score, and I hope we can perform better in the next game. Of course, we have the same quality, especially in the first half the only period of time we can fight, but unfortunately both games were lost in stoppage time, which is something that the whole team needs to solve. After all, once you come to the second half, the decline in physical fitness will lead to more and more hidden dangers in defense, which is also a link that everyone knows.
Then Wang Shangyuan emphasized: The opponent is very physical, we prepared well, but we lost the game. This is estimated to have revealed the difference in strength between the two sides, but the whole team is not ready. The last game was also a stoppage time goal, and this game is still a stoppage time conceded. This is a question that must be taken seriously after this game.
Wang Shangyuan is still looking forward to the next game: I think this is the best of our three games, we need to sum it up and hope to get points in the next game. The wish is good, but it is not clear whether it can be kicked out. If you just look at Wang Shangyuan's performance in these games, he and the two central defenders pass no more than 10 feet to each other, and he can appear in the squad, it can only be said that there is really no one in Chinese football. After all, he didn't grab on the court, didn't get stuck, and couldn't get the ball, and his overall performance was very bad.
Goodwin gave us enough affirmation after the game: the Chinese team was very compact in the first half, and we kept trying to catch up with them, but responded in our way. In fact, Australia's game is still a mess, especially in the offensive end, they are not very good. But our defensive habits were not good, combined with Australia's height and good confrontation, which allowed them to get three points. With current performance, Australia's chances of qualifying for the World Cup are not very high.
