Since the first game against the Vietnamese team in 1960, it is accurate to say that as of the Year of the Ox, the Chinese men's football team has never lost to its opponents.
In the past ten years of playing, the men's national team has won all the opponents.
However, on New Year's Day, this record was broken. Away to vietnam, which has lost all seven games, China has fallen behind 2-0 in the first half of the first 16 minutes.
In the second half, Vietnam sealed the win with long-range shots. In the final stages of stoppage time, the Chinese team scored an insignificant goal by Xu Xin.
In this way, the national football team gave the opponent the first victory in the final stage of the Asian qualifiers of the World Cup 1-3, and at the same time, it was directly kicked out of the Qatar World Cup by Vietnam.
After the game, head coach Li Xiaopeng said that he apologized to all fans and also to the players. Faced with the question of when Chinese football will be able to enter the World Cup, Li Xiaopeng is full of confidence: the rise of Chinese football is sooner or later, but it requires the efforts of generations.
Li Xiaopeng's interview caused heated discussion among the media and fans, and after the game, the official social media of People's Daily Sports also commented. People's Daily believes that the loss of the national football team "has a problem with the attitude of the game, and it is also a stubborn disease accumulated in the usual game." ”
At the same time, the People's Daily also sent three questions in a row, the first question was "What kind of spiritual outlook should the national football team have in the face of backward situation?" ”
The second question is "How can the national football team strengthen the lineup?" ”
The third question is more heartfelt: "Will this game really become a watershed for the Sino-Vietnamese men's football team to change the situation?" ”
