Beijing time on March 23, 2022 news. Time is fast! Today, under the leadership of head coach Li Xiaopeng, the Chinese men's football team is completing the last two matches of the 2022 World Cup Asian Top 12. For the Chinese men's soccer team, which is already out, there is only one thing left in their mission at the moment: don't play ugly. And if the time goes back to 5 years ago today, when the Chinese men's football team is going all out to impact the 2018 World Cup in Russia, on March 23, 2017, the Chinese men's football team defeated South Korea 1-0 in Changsha, and the initiative is back in their own hands! Reaching the World Cup is promising.
Since 2002, the Chinese men's football team has missed the 2006 Germany, 2010 South Africa, and 2014 Brazil World Cups, and has not reached the final 12 finals once, all of which have fallen in the qualifiers. In 2015, the then head coach of the national football team, Alan Peilan, led the team almost out, and at the critical moment, Gao Hongbo took over the national football team to defeat Qatar 2-0 in Xi'an and successfully reached the round of 12!
Unfortunately, in the round of 12, the national football forward faced a one-handed opportunity and lacked the ability to grasp it. The back line is full of mistakes. First 2-3 to South Korea, then 0-0 to Iran, then 0-1 to Syria and 0-2 to Uzbekistan. Gao Hongbo is out of class! The replacement is Lippi the Silver Fox. After the Italian took office, he was determined to lead the national football team into the World Cup!
After Lippi took office, the national football team first drew 0-0 with Qatar in Kunming. Then, 5 years ago today, the National Football Team in Changsha defeated South Korea 1-0! At that time, the head star of the South Korean team, Son Heung-min, was suspended, and the national football team was assisted by Wang Yongpo and finalized Yu Dabao's header. Towards the end of the game, the South Korean players did not calmly kick down Yin Hongbo, and Feng Xiaoting angrily stood up for his teammates!
In that game, Lippi was really bold! He sent a super offensive line-up, and the goalkeeper was Zeng Cheng. The back line is: Jiang Zhipeng, Feng Xiaoting, Mei Fang, Zhang Linpeng. There is only one pure defensive back in the midfield, and there are only 3 attacking midfielders: Zhang Xizhe, Arthur Junmin, Wang Yongpo! In addition, two forwards were sent, Yu Dabao and Wu Lei! Dare to fight against the powerful South Korean team, and later away to Iran, Lippi sent Gao Lin, Yu Dabao, Zhang Yuning's 3 forward lineup.
In this game, the national football team defeated South Korea 1-0, followed by a 1-0 defeat to Uzbekistan, and a good game of 0-1 defeat to Iran, the most regrettable thing is that the national football team was forced to draw 2-2 by Syria away, and this game did not get 3 points to lead to the national football team out! But it should be noted that the changes that Lippi has brought to the national football team, as well as the level of that group of international footballers, is still good!
The story that follows is confusing. Lippi first led the team to play the Asian Cup 0-3 Iran and then resigned! Then syria lost 2-1 in the World Cup qualifiers and resigned! Cannavaro took over two games and got out of class! Then Li Tie took over the national football team, rushed to the top 12 after the performance was also very bad, after the class Li Xiaopeng took over, hastily lost 1-3 to Vietnam on the first day of the Chinese New Year, so that Chinese football once again entered the trough!
The Chinese men's football team has only beaten South Korea in two matches so far, 3-0 South Korea in 2010 and 1-0 South Korea in 2017. Now, the Chinese men's football team has once again missed the World Cup, and the South Korean team has reached the 2022 Qatar World Cup with one foot! We watched our Asian neighbors Japan and South Korea perform well in football, but we sucked! Next year, that is, 2023, China will host the Asian Cup at home, we play at home, I don't know what kind of report card the national football team can hand over!
