The national football team lost 0-2 to Japan, basically missing the Qatar World Cup

At 18:00 Beijing time on January 27, the Chinese men's football team will usher in the 7th round of the round of 12 matches, away to Japan. In the end, the national football team lost 0-2 to Japan. In another match in the same group, Australia beat Vietnam 4-0. In this way, with 3 rounds left in the round of 12, the point difference between the Chinese team and the third place in the group has reached 9 points, basically bidding farewell to the Qatar World Cup in advance.

In the first 6 rounds of matches, the Chinese men's football team won 1 win, 2 draws and 3 wins, only 5 points were accumulated, and the Japanese team that played at home this time returned many players who played in the five major leagues, and the pressure on the national football team was very large. And more critically, the overall lineup of the national football team this time is not as good as last year. On the one hand, Wu Lei has not played in La Liga for seven consecutive rounds and is in a slump; on the other hand, among the naturalized players, Axon and Fernando are absent, Luo Guofu has accumulated yellow cards and suspended, and Alain is in poor condition after nearly 40 hours of long journeys, which does not meet the standard of starting. In this case, Li Xiaopeng could only send Zhang Yuning and Wu Lei to partner to attack the Japanese team's back line.

Although the strength of the front line has weakened a lot, but because once he loses, he will basically lose the qualification for the World Cup in Qatar, so Li Xiaopeng still has a relatively positive 532 formation. In addition to Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning leading the front, Wu Xi, Arthur Junmin and Xu Xin sat in midfield, hoping to break the Japanese team's goal through effective passing. As for the Japanese team, in order to consolidate the second place in the group, the match was also fully committed, sending out a 451 formation, of which Ōki Wasamu was also at the front, and Takumi Minamino and Endo Led the midfield.

After the opening, the national football team was in charge, and the Japanese team controlled the game. In the 12th minute, Jun Ito also burst into the penalty area and crossed from the bottom line, Wang Shenchao defended the ground and extended his left hand to block it, and the referee awarded a penalty. Daisuke also took a penalty to help Japan take a 1-0 lead. After conceding the ball, the national football team as a whole was still seriously suppressed by the Japanese team. In the 60th minute, Yuta Nakayama crossed from the left and Jun Ito scored with a header that Japan locked in at 2-0.

After losing the match with Japan, the point difference between the national football team and the third-ranked Australian team in the group has reached 9 points, and with only 3 rounds left in the round of 12, the national football team has basically declared that it has not won the Qatar World Cup.
