As we all know, the national football team is currently training in Shanghai to make final preparations for the next World Preliminary Tournament. On January 27, the national football team will usher in the second match with the Japanese World Preliminary Tournament, facing Japan, the world's 26th largest Asian team, the national football team can hardly see any chance of winning. At present, the national enough to win 2 draws 3 losses 5 points of the record ranked second to the bottom of Group B, from the third place Australia still has 6 points, if the second game with japan loses again, the national football team's play-off hopes will be completely destroyed.
The roof leaked in the overnight rain, and on the eve of the great war, Li Xiaopeng received several bad news one after another. First of all, the 5 naturalized players who entered the training list are Luo Guofu, Jiang Guangtai, Alan, Axon and Ferrando, and only Jiang Guangtai is sure that he can accompany the team to the World Preliminary Tournament against Japan and Vietnam. The other four naturalized players are currently vacationing in Brazil, according to the "Beijing Youth Daily" news, Luo Guofu, Alan, Axon and Ferrando, the four naturalized players are basically certain that they will not play in the next World Preliminary Tournament. Zhang Tengfei, the Portuguese translator of the previous national football team, was not selected into the training team lineup of the current national football team, which also corroborated the news that these four naturalized players will not return to the team.
Although the performance of the four naturalized players in the first six rounds of the World Preliminary Round was not very good, after all, their personal strength was basically above that of other players. According to the news of Chen Shuyuan, chairman of the Football Association, the probability of qualifying for the World Cup is 10% for the national football team with naturalized players, while the probability of qualifying for the national football team without naturalized players is 0. Relying on Jiang Guangtai alone, a naturalized player, it is obvious that he cannot defeat the powerful Japanese team. The absence of naturalized players has left national football fans in disappointment.
Just when the fans were disappointed, the AFC came with another bad news. It is reported that the referee of the world preliminary tournament between the national football team and Japan will be Jassim of Qatar. For Jassim, the referee, I think many fans are familiar with it. Jassem is arguably the nemesis of the Chinese team, the 20019 Asian Cup group stage and quarter-finals, under Jassim's law enforcement, the national football team lost to South Korea and Iran respectively. In the U23 Asian Cup in January 2020, the national Olympic team lost 0-2 to Uzbekistan, and the referee of that match was also Jassim. In addition, Jassem's law enforcement of the AFC Champions League, the Chinese Super League team is also losing more than winning less.
Naturalized players are suspicious, the World Preliminary Tournament referee is unfavorable to China, and the game time is close to the Spring Festival and it is an away game, for Li Xiaopeng, the World Preliminary Tournament with Japan will be a great challenge. On January 23, the national football team will depart for Japan, hoping that they can create miracles!
