There is no miracle, after 7 rounds of a 2-0 and 12 round match, it is basically declared that the Chinese men's football team will not qualify for the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Compared with the results, the process of the game seems to hit the heart of every Chinese fan again...
The national football team only had 2 shots on goal and 0 shots on target, while the Japanese team fired 16 shots on goal and scored 2 goals with 6 shots.
The gap between Chinese and Japanese football has once again been exposed through the game, and the player with the highest score in the national football team in this game is still the core of the defense that plays a steady defense, and the naturalized player Jiang Guangtai.
The total starting price of the national football team is 8.48 million euros, and Japan is 44.9 million euros.
The average age of the national football team is 29.3 years old, and in Japan, it is 28.6 years old.
Football is indeed a sport that pays attention to scientific development, when the opponents of the national football team, whether in terms of comprehensive strength or sustainable development, are better than us, and we can only rely on the "spiritual level" to play chicken blood on the players, and want to create miracles, then this is basically an "impossible task". What's more, this Japanese team is already a "remnant", and we still belong to the side that is completely defeated.
The rare "fierce confrontation" in the game is a clash between Wei Shihao, who came on as a substitute, and Takumi Minamino. It seems to have given this one-sided game a new play. "Little Brother" Dai Weijun also immediately pulled Wei Shihao away, avoiding further conflict.
Interestingly, the two had played each other as early as the 2014 U19 Asian Youth Championship, when the young Chinese U19 national team led by Wei Shihao defeated the Japanese U19 led by Takushi Minamino 2-1. The three goals of the game were contributed by Wei Shihao and Takumi Minamino.
Years later, the two men's football path also seems to be heading in different directions... The trajectory of their development seems to confirm the development gap between Chinese and Japanese football.
Takumi Minamino Sakura experienced the baptism of the J-League and the AFC Champions League, and landed in European football in 2015, the pragmatic Japanese did not have a good ambition, and chose the Austrian League's Salzburg Red Bull as their first stop in Europe, and it was 5 years.
During this period, he made 199 appearances for Red Bull, scoring 64 goals and contributing 44 assists, and in the Champions League group stage against Liverpool, he surprised Liverpool manager Klopp with his excellent performance and shots, and officially transferred to the Reds in the winter window of the season.
And Wei Shihao came from the youth training of Taishan in Shandong, stayed in Portugal in his early years, and officially returned to China in 2017, he has successively traveled to "North to Guangzhou", the first team he joined after returning to China was Shanghai SIPG, after one season he went to Beijing Guoan, and after another season came to Guangzhou Evergrande.
Until he came to the Guangzhou team and met Cannavaro, Wei Shihao can be said to have met his own "mentor and Bole". Cannavaro is also particularly "pampered" to Wei Shihao, and his guidance is also particularly careful, and Wei Shihao has gradually found his best state in the Guangzhou team.
And the picture that allowed the Japanese goalkeeper to fly to save yesterday was only Wei Shihao's long-range shot...
In 2014, the starting point of the two seems to be not much different, but after 8 years, objective data shows that the "height" of the two no longer seems to be a horizontal line. Takumi Minamino currently plays for the top giants of the Premier League, while Wei Shihao is only the top giants in the Chinese Super League.
We do not lack good seedlings, but lack of good soil to cultivate them, "environment", once again became the key factor in the development of these two players, whether it is campus football or professional leagues, the gap between China and Japan is obvious, do not respect the objective laws of football development, how can the result be satisfactory?
