This night, Fan Zhiyi brushed the screen in the circle of friends of everyone again; this night, the fig leaf of Chinese football was completely torn off; this night, Chinese football lost 1-3 to Vietnam.
Can everything really just be torn down and started? Is Chinese football, which once spent thousands of dollars, really inferior to Vietnam?
There is no answer to everything, the only answer is that the Chinese men's football team has completely failed to qualify for the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
Both sides started the line-up.
Li Xiaopeng just said that he wanted to add a festive atmosphere to the Spring Festival, but Chinese football was really hit by two sticks in Vietnam.
In the opening 8th minute, Hu Jincai scored with a header and the national football team fell behind 0-1.
In the World Preliminary Round of 12 in the Asian Zone on the evening of February 1, the national football team only played 17 minutes in the first half to lag behind Vietnam 0-2 away, one step away from the complete failure to qualify for the Qatar World Cup...
In the 17th minute, vietnam played a wonderful match, leading the national football team 2-0 at home.
In the 75th minute of the game, Vietnam scored another long-range shot, and the score became 0-3...
Vietnam led 3-0.
In injury time, Xu Xin pulled a goal back for the national football team.
From the starting lineup, Li Xiaopeng still basically continued the main framework of the last game against Japan, but changed three starters in four positions.
The goalkeeper is still Yan Junling, Wang Shenchao returned to a more suitable left-back, and Zhang Linpeng, Jiang Guangtai and Zhu Chenjie formed a four-back; three midfielders Wu Xi and Xu Xin are regular candidates, Dai Weijun, who made his debut in the last game, directly entered the main squad; the three attackers included two naturalized players, Alain and Luo Guofu, and the other was Wu Lei.
The national footballer can only block the Vietnamese team with fouls.
In the New Year's Day match, the national football team is looking forward to winning away from home, and Li Xiaopeng said at the pre-match press conference, "My players have been training hard to make the best preparation for the match against Vietnam. Hopefully, we can play at our best, win the best results, and give back to our domestic fans in the new year. ”
'It's a very important game and my players are in good spirits and ready to score three points.
Luo Guofu received a yellow card.
It is reported that from the arrival of the national football team in Hanoi to before the game, the Chinese Football Association and the team did not specially organize a mobilization meeting, in the words of the team insiders, "All to this point, does the team still use mobilization?" Everyone knows the significance of this game and the importance of having to go all out to win the game. ”
The match was played at Hanoi's Meitín Stadium, one of the best stadiums in Hanoi and home to the Vietnamese national team.
Hu Jincai scored for Vietnam.
The stadium has more than 40,000 seats – according to the plan, the Vietnamese side will open 50% of the seats for local fans in the match with the Chinese team.
Recently, the development of the epidemic in Vietnam is also more complicated, the Vietnamese national football team captain Gui Yuhai also had to miss the match with the Chinese team because of the new crown virus, Ruan Huangde, Ruan Jinling, Ruan Wenquan three people have also been infected with the new crown virus, but have now recovered. This match with the Vietnamese team, epidemic prevention is also a severe test facing the Chinese men's football team.
Anxious teaching assistant Zheng Zhi.
However, the more severe test is the level of football itself.
National football goalkeeper Yan Junling analyzed the technical and tactical characteristics of the Vietnamese team before the game - Yan Junling said: "The Vietnamese team pays more attention to small and fast in the frontcourt, mainly on the foot, through penetrating short passes, creating shooting opportunities in front of the penalty area, the foot connection is relatively fast, and the back line must be prepared for this penetrating pass and sudden interspersing. ”
Unexpectedly, Yan Junling's words became a slur - in the 8th minute of the opening, the Vietnamese team actually used the header to seize the national football defender's gap to break the goal; then in the 17th minute, the Vietnamese team showed dexterity in the front court, pushing a 2-0 lead in front of the goal.
Vietnamese players celebrate scoring goals.
Throughout the first half, the Chinese team had a 61% possession rate, 7 shots on goal, and a pass success rate of 82% - but the data deceived people, and the national football team did not have any absolute scoring opportunities.
In the second half of the game, Li Xiaopeng took the lead in making changes - Alan and Luo Guofu were replaced, and Zhang Yuning and Wei Shihao came off the bench.
Sure enough, Zhang Yuning scored a goal on the bench, but unfortunately the offside was first... Subsequently, the national football team and the Vietnamese team fell into a tug-of-war again.
In the 75th minute of the match, Vietnam scored another long-range shot, and the score became 0-3... The national football team is completely powerless to return to the sky, even if it pulls back a goal in injury time.
National football coach Li Xiaopeng.
After the loss, the national football team decided not to qualify for the Qatar World Cup – perhaps, all we can do is remember this date, and then watch the practitioners fall into the "cycle" of no solution again and again like the TV series "The Beginning".
Hopefully, Chinese football will break through, just after the first day of the Lunar New Year in 2022.
