In the early morning of Beijing time yesterday, the final match of the top 12 in the 2022 Qatar World Cup qualifiers in the Asian region had no rules, no way, and even the Chinese team, which had no fighting spirit, lost 0:2 away to the Oman team, with 1 win and 3 draws. With 6 losses, the second-to-last bad result in Group B ended this World Preliminary Tournament. Although the head coach Li Xiaopeng called the players “warriors” following the game, he knew that what he said was a scene, and there was no need to hear it.
Taking the draw with Australia in the 6th round of the top 12 as the dividing line, there is no need to repeat the good or bad, right or wrong. Starting from the seventh round, that is, following the new coaching team took office, the Chinese team actually only adjusted individual positions. For example, Dai Weijun, Gao Tianyi, and Liu Yang were used. There is no possibility of winning in front of the Chinese team, especially in front of the Vietnamese team.It is true that the level of Asian football has generally improved, but it is also true that the level of the Chinese team has undergone serious regression.
Let’s look at some troubling data. According to the reporter’s statistics, the Chinese team had a total of 22 shots (including 1 penalty) in the last four games, and only 6 shots were within the goal range. Among them, the Japanese team and the Oman team had zero shots on target. With the final round of the top 12, Vietnam drew 1:1 away from Japan. In Group B, only the Chinese team failed to break the goal of the Japanese team, which is not as good as the Vietnamese team. Against Japan, Saudi Arabia, and Oman, the success rate of “one-half goal” in each game is regarding 30%. Although it may be slightly different from the statistics of the AFC or the Chinese team, the difference is not big. The degeneration of the Chinese team is shocking! The previous Chinese team returned badly, which can basically be described as regret and regret. This year, I don’t know how to define the loss.
What new things have the luxurious coaching team composed of Li Xiaopeng, Zheng Zhi, Sun Jihai, Zhao Junzhe and others brought to the Chinese team? It doesn’t matter if it’s too late to instill new things. The good aspects of the Chinese team should always be inherited and carried forward, right? In the last four games, the Chinese team might not penetrate the offense and might not stop the defense. This performance cannot be simply attributed to the short time the coaching staff took over (77 days), nor can it be said that there is one less Wu Lei or a few naturalized players. , the Chinese team should play like this. The truth of competitive sports is: “Competition is a mirror of training.” If you don’t practice in one day, you know it; if you don’t practice in two days, your opponent knows; if you don’t practice in three days, everyone on earth will know.
Of course, the reporter has no intention of denying the efforts and hard work of Li Xiaopeng’s team. Moreover, the relevant parties must have considered the starting point of brainstorming and grouping together so many “celebrities” to form a coaching team. “Li Xiaopeng+” is indeed among the current local coaches. top match. The reason for this backfire is likely to be that although the members of the coaching team were excellent in their playing days and in the club’s coaching positions, they were not ready to coach the Chinese team and hurried to the front desk. Coming to the top Asian competitions, what to practice, how to practice, and what to practice… There is a blind spot in cognition. Just relying on the simple courage and responsibility for football and the Chinese team, of course, you have to pay tuition.
Chinese football once once more bid farewell to the World Preliminaries with a failure. As some commentators have said: failure is not really scary, what is scary is knowing that there are correct rules, but still following your own rules.Return to Sohu, see more
