Prominence in Football Community

Before the game against Qatar, the atmosphere of the Chinese team was so relaxed, and the entire national public opinion environment was rarely very relaxed towards the national football team.

This makes some people a little unaccustomed to it.

They worry that it's not good to be so relaxed and cause the team to lose.

But this kind of worry will soon be ridiculed by others: "Even if we lose at home, so what? Can the Chinese team still lose 0:11 at home? I don't say anything else, if The Chinese team can really lose so much, I will live broadcast and eat shit!"

Many people simply don't believe that the Chinese team can lose so much.

Therefore, it is basically a certainty that the Chinese team will advance to the top 12.

Many people thought that if they really lost to Qatar in the final game, they would lose as well, and it would be no big deal.

Who wants to watch the top forty now?

We want the top twelve!

It's a pity that the first game of the Top 12 is estimated to have to wait until September this year, and there are still six months in between.

Before the game, Qatar coach Carreno raved about Gao Zheng and the Chinese team. The Chinese media and the Internet also reported and discussed this matter. Everyone was very happy.

After all, when I boast myself, I am suspected of being a queen mother-in-law selling melons, but when others praise me, I feel very happy. What does this mean?

It fully shows that the opponents have been defeated by us!

Qatar took the initiative to show goodwill, and the Chinese media and fans were not stingy with their kindness, and sent their blessings to Qatar, hoping to advance to the top 12 together.

I have to say that the Chinese fans are really kind.

When they sent blessings to their opponents, they completely forgot the 40-year grievances between Chinese football and Qatar...

In the 1989 World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team encountered the "black three minutes" on Qatar. In the case of a 1:0 lead, Qatar scored three goals in three minutes and ended the World Cup qualifiers with a score of 1:2. race journey.

In the top ten match in 1997, the Chinese team was conceded three goals by Qatar at home, and finally missed the World Cup in France with a score of 2:3.

2008 World Cup qualifiers,

The Chinese team drew 0:0 with Qatar in the away game, and lost 0:1 to Qatar at home, and did not even enter the top ten.

In the 2011 Asian Cup group match, the Chinese team was defeated by Qatar 0:2 and missed the knockout stage. Because of this result, Gao Hongbo was also won by the Football Association after the start of the World Cup qualifiers.

Unlike other opponents of the Chinese team, Qatar and the Chinese team have played against each other many times, only one is a warm-up match, and the other games are all official games. The memory of losing to Qatar is particularly painful.

Before the start of the game, some Qatari fans held Chinese and Qatari flags and waved them outside the stadium, which attracted the attention of the media and many Chinese fans. Some enthusiastic Chinese fans ran up to hug him and waved the national flags of the two countries together with him. The media reporters pointed their guns and short cannons at them and kept pressing the shutter.

This scene is really the best portrayal of "friendship first, competition second", and it is a clear proof that football wins and losses cannot surpass human emotions.

Because of football, two people with different languages ​​and different races can embrace each other with a smile on their faces. It really makes everyone who sees this scene smile involuntarily.

Football, how wonderful!

In this game, Perrin made some adjustments to the starting lineup and replaced a large number of substitute players. Obviously, he has already started to prepare for the top 12, he needs to investigate more players for the top 12, and adjust the team.

Although there have been rumors that the Football Association may replace Perrin after entering the top 12, Perrin still insists on doing his job well and doesn't care about the rumors from the outside world.

Of course, no matter how he adjusted the starting lineup, Gao Zheng was still on the starting lineup.

After all, he can't go too far, even if the Chinese team loses, they can't lose too simply. After all, this is in your own home court. Where does this put the face of Chinese football?

And Gao Zheng is the one who maintains the facade.

goalkeeper.

After the start of the game, the Chinese team did play a little carelessly. Even if they were substitute players, their minds might be on the top 12 match, not the last 40 match.

None of them have participated in the top 12, and they are full of expectations for this game, even the World Cup after the top 12.

After all, being able to participate in the World Cup is the highest pursuit of every Chinese player.

In addition, some people say that the event representing the highest level of Asian football is actually not the Asian Cup, because after the Asian Cup has been expanded again and again, too many big teams have mixed in.

But after the cruel elimination, the top twelve is the representative of the highest level of Asian football, but which of the teams that can participate in the top twelve is not a strong team in Asia?

Saudi Arabia, Australia, Iran, Japan, South Korea, Uzbekistan...these are all well-known names in Asian football.

What does the top twelve match look like?

Chinese players are looking forward to this.

The Chinese players played absent-mindedly, while Qatar was active and played very hard. They hoped to score early and secure the victory.

Even if it was only 1:0 in the end, they were satisfied, because this score was enough for them to advance to the top twelve.

Chinese fans and commentators have also seen Qatar's positive attitude.

But the fans didn't care much, they came to celebrate the Chinese team's promotion to the top 12, just like a festival. It doesn't matter if you win or lose, of course if you win, well, it doesn't matter if you lose, it won't be like before, when you lose, you will be scolded.

As for the commentator He Ping, he was also very relaxed, but he still had to say something nice to avoid being picked on by others: "Although we have qualified for the top 12 in advance, I still hope that the players can take it seriously. This game, after all, is also a hard-won warm-up match for the top twelve..."

He still accidentally expressed his true thoughts.

Yes, for Qatar, it is a battle of life and death. For the Chinese team, it is actually a warm-up match to prepare for the top 12 match.

The gold content of this warm-up match is still very high-where can you find such a warm-up match opponent who is willing to fight with you?

Daniel Carreno stood on the sidelines, watching the field nervously.

Although the last round of the top 40 games was all played on March 29th, the kick-off time was different because the time was about the same in different places. He couldn't adjust his side while paying attention to other games Tactics, he can only try to do his own thing first.

Win the game and firmly control your destiny in your own hands.

Seeing the players of the Chinese team walking on the court, he secretly clenched his fists.

If we keep playing like this, we have a play!

Then he had some regrets—why couldn’t these Chinese players play like this when Qatar played the Chinese team at home?

If they wanted to play like this, we would have won already. Do we still need to come here to see the faces of the Chinese?

Carreno was worried about gains and losses.

The game went on, Qatar had created several chances, and it looked like they were getting closer to a goal.

Twenty-five minutes had passed in the first half.

At this moment, the Chinese team launched a counterattack.

Carreno didn't take this counterattack seriously. He was more concerned about how his team should switch from defense to offense, how to improve the efficiency and success rate of offensive and defensive transitions, and which part of the Chinese team's defense should be used when counterattacking. side……

At this time, the football was passed directly from the backcourt to Gao Zheng's feet in the frontcourt.

After Gao Zheng unloaded the flying football, he looked up at the Qatar goal 35 meters away, and then suddenly swung his foot and shot from a long distance!

The football was kicked towards the goal, flew high and then plummeted.

Qatar's goalkeeper did not expect Gao Zheng to shoot directly from such a distance, and he was not focused enough.

When he saw the football flying over, it was too late for him to jump.

Although he made a saving action, he didn't touch the football at all. In fact, his saving action is more symbolic than actual meaning-at least it shows that he is not doing nothing...

Amidst the cheers of the fans in the stadium, the football just plunged into Qatar's goal!
