In the 9th round of the round of 12, the national football team vs Saudi Arabia, before the game, the national football team has been out of the game in advance, and Saudi Arabia has advanced to the 2022 World Cup main match.
This World Preliminary Tournament, for the first time in the history of national football, has a number of naturalized high-level foreign players, and therefore high hopes. But after the start of the round of 12, it disappointed the fans again and again, and soon fell into despair.
In the first match of the round of 12, in the case of obviously underestimating the opponent, the national football team lost 0:3 to Australia. But one of the biggest favorites to qualify, Japan, known as the "King of Asia", also lost, or lost at home to Oman, who is asian "fish belly" level. The national football team lost the first round, not the end of the world.
In the second round, the national football team overestimated the opponent again, losing to Japan 0:1.
In the third round, the national football team narrowly defeated Vietnam 3:2 to win the first victory of the round of 12, while Japan lost 0:1 away to Saudi Arabia. The national football team seems to have seen the hope of qualifying again.
In the 4th round, the national football team away to Saudi Arabia, this battle is quite critical, if you win, you will grasp the initiative to qualify, the draw can also be accepted, if you lose, then the hope of qualifying is slim. The result was 2:3 defeat.
In the 5th round, the national football team faced Oman, in terms of overall strength, the national football team is stronger than the opponent, if even Oman can not win, but also talk about qualifying, it is a fool's dream. The result was a 1:1 draw.
In the 6th round, the national football team fought against Australia, and before the game, the national football team was definitely going to lose again, but in the end it actually won a 1:1 draw.
In the first 6 rounds, 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses, only 5 points were scored, is this a poor result? Of course bad! With 4 rounds left, the national football team is 6 points behind third-place Australia and has lost the initiative to qualify. So, Li Tie left class.
Is this achievement led by Li Tie really bad? It's not bad. In the last Round of 12, when Gao Hongbo led the team, he only got 1 point in the first 4 rounds of 1 draw and 3 losses, and this year Li Tie took 3 points in the first 4 rounds. After Replacing Gao Hongbo, Lippi drew 0-0 at home to Qatar in the 5th round and defeated South Korea 1-0 at home in the 6th round. Gao Hongbo and Lippi combined in the first 6 rounds and Li Tie were 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses with 5 points, and finally the national football team almost qualified, and the last round of the battle was lost.
This time, if the remaining 4 rounds and 4 games are all won, the national football team at least hopes that the third in the group will qualify for the play-offs. But your winning percentage in the first 6 rounds is less than 20%, and you can win all 4 rounds? With some things on and off the field, Li Tie still got out of class.
When Li Xiaopeng took office, he naturally could not be expected to lead the team to win the remaining 4 rounds, and it was impossible to invite Lippi back.
In the 7th round, the national football team did not have an accident, losing 0:2 away to Japan, and only the theoretical possibility of qualifying was left.
In the 8th round, the national football team played Vietnam, even if it won, the national football team could not get out. To qualify, three conditions need to be established at the same time: 1. The national football team wins all 3 rounds in the remaining 3 rounds, 2. Australia loses all the remaining 3 rounds, 3. The national football team wins every game with a big score, and Australia loses every game, so that the national football team can erase the gap of 15 goal differences. But in the end, it can't be qualified, and the national football team can't lose this game, it's about face! In history, the national football team has not lost to Vietnam, and has maintained a 10-game winning streak before this match. But in the end, on the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year (and so did Vietnam), the national football team lost to Vietnam for the first time in a historic history.
Li Xiaopeng did not leave class and continued to lead the team. Before the national football vs Saudi Arabia match, Li Xiaopeng said that this game is related to the face of Chinese football. All the data is lagging behind in an all-round way, in the case of a disadvantage in the whole field, first conceded a goal, and finally equalized on penalties, fighting a draw, to say 'face', it can also be regarded as saved.
Beijing time at 0:00 on March 30, the final round of the round of the round of 12, the national football team will play Oman away, if it can win, it will finally accumulate 9 points to lock in the fifth place of Group B, which is the same as the final ranking of the last Round of 12, but the points should be 3 points less. If you can get your wish, 4 wins, 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses, compared with Li Tie's 6 wins, 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses, Li Xiaopeng's winning rate and scoring rate are higher, at least he can prove that he replaced Li Tie by strength.
