In the top 36 of the Asian region of the World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese men's football team finally lost 0-1 to the South Korean team, accumulating 8 points in 6 games and a goal difference of 0! Due to being tied by Singapore and Thailand before, the Chinese men's football team lost the initiative. If they want to advance to the top 18, it depends on the final score between Thailand and Singapore. The Thai team cannot beat Singapore by more than 3 goals, and the Thai team cannot win by 4 goals. Above the ball! To be honest, Singapore fought fiercely with Thailand to the end without any pressure from the game. Even when they were lagging behind, they made substitutions and adjustments in an effort to equalize the score. They were indeed very tenacious. It can only be said that after Singapore successfully blocked the Chinese team, it then helped the Chinese team. In the end, 3-1, the Chinese team relied on their mutual record advantages to catch the last train of the top 18! First of all, congratulations to the Chinese team for advancing to the top 18 in Asia!
Regarding the match between the Chinese team and the Korean team, the media voices are divided into two factions. Many well-known media people are cannon fodder for Ivan, such as Teacher Chen Hua, Teacher Zhan Jun, and Teacher Wang Tao. There are also many media people who are more sober: when Ivan took office in a hurry and did not know the Chinese men's football players well, he led the team to 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss, and only lost 1 goal to the South Korean team. The result is acceptable. , after all, there is a strength gap between the Chinese men's football team and the South Korean team and even the Thai team. This is reality! To put it bluntly, if the Thai team had seized the opportunity in the last game and beat the Chinese team by 3-4 goals, we would have gone home long ago! But Ivan, as the first person responsible in the eyes of the media, is actually very innocent. The national football team is at this level. In the past 20 years, each generation has gotten worse. Is it the responsibility of Ivan, who has been in office for a few months?
Let’s start with Son Heung-min. During the game, Son Heung-min made a 3-0 mocking and controversial gesture towards the Chinese fans in the stands. Son Heung-min responded in an interview that he could not accept being booed at home, and it was also disrespectful to Korean fans. As a Korean player, Son Heung-min bluntly stated that he wanted to show something and was not affected by the away game (Chinese fans). From Son Heung-min's personal perspective, of course he is right to do this; but as the best star in Asia and an inspirational role model for many young fans, it is not advisable for him to do this because he lacks a star pattern! There are many people in our media who are trying to excuse him, but in the final analysis, he is Korean and cannot be excused! And after the game, the Korean media bluntly said that the Chinese team played kung fu football and lie football.
We can beat and scold our children, but others cannot! Returning to the national football coach Ivan, Ivan led the team to a draw with the Thai team in the last game, and he felt the malice from all aspects of the media. They even directly questioned Ivan's employment and substitution tactics and publicly criticized him. After fighting in South Korea, Ivan became more realistic. Ivan was asked by a reporter how he felt about taking over the Chinese team. He said this: Chinese football may not have performed well in recent years, but there are still many capable players who, as a good whole, can play exciting games. Our strength can definitely rank among the top ten in Asia! But Ivan also emphasized: To achieve this goal, we need better talent selection and more training and competition.
Finally, Ivan said: Thank you to all the players for not slacking off for 90 minutes. Thank you for their efforts. In fact, the position of head coach of the Chinese men's football team is not that popular. Not only is there pressure from all parties, but there is also a repressive public opinion environment. It is even said that some decision-making rights may not be in one's hands. But why is Ivan willing to take over the hot potato? He believes in Chinese football! But he also pointed out the biggest problem. If we want to move forward and achieve better results, training and competition, as well as a better basis for talent selection, are all indispensable! The number of participants in the Chinese Football League and the scope of youth football are far behind those of neighboring countries, Japan and South Korea. This cannot be changed by Ivan in just a few months after taking office. It will definitely take generations of efforts!
First of all, I would like to thank Singapore goalkeeper Sonny. The Thai team shot 13 times out of 34 times in the whole game. Sonny caught the ball high and blocked it low! The second is the goal of Singapore's goal hero Fandi, which sent the Chinese team into the top 18.Since the Chinese men's football team ranked 13th in Asia in the latest world rankings, there is a high probability that the top 18 will fall to the fifth tier! According to the rules of the top 18, they will first be divided into three groups of 6 teams for home and away round robin matches. Then the top two teams in the three groups will directly advance to the World Cup. The 6 teams ranked third and fourth in the three groups will advance to the World Cup. The fourth stage of the competition is divided into two groups. The first place in the two groups advances to the World Cup, and the second place in the two groups enters the play-offs. The winner will decide a spot with teams from other continents.
has entered the top 18. We can have a chance to start over. Without being able to obtain better talent in a short time, what coach Ivan can do is to release the maximum value of each player. I also hope that the media will not hold it. Xie Pengfei, Wei Shihao and others cannot go on the field to speak out. Anyone employed by the coach does not need to explain to the media, and the media does not need to drive away batches of foreign coaches who hope to save Chinese football. What we need to do is give them time and enough trust. They have reached rock bottom. Since we have chosen Ivan, then trust him!
