Unfortunately, of course, it has been staged many times before, that is, the national football team has once again become the first team to prepare for the next World Cup. With the exit of the round of 12, for the national football team, the most important tasks in front of them are 2, the 2023 Asian Cup, and the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Recently, in fifa's rankings, the national football team has slipped to 10th place in Asia, which may have a very adverse impact on the future world preliminary group situation of the national football team.
In the current Asian context, Japan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Australia as well as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, UAE, Oman these 9 teams ranked ahead of China. Among them, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Japan and Oman have already played against the national football team in the round of 12, and the Chinese team has not won any of them.
The biggest impact of such a ranking is that the situation in the next world preliminary group of the national football team will be very unfavorable, due to the decline in the ranking, the gear will inevitably decline at that time, and it is likely that more difficult opponents will be encountered in a small group. Taking the above 9 teams as an example, it can be said that japan, South Korea, Iran, Australia and Saudi Arabia are five teams that have no chance for the current national football team. If you can actively fight hard, you can try to get points on teams such as the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Qatar and Oman, but the problem is that looking at the performance of the 12th round against Oman, you know that the national football team has no way to face these West Asian teams.
The 2023 Asian Cup is held in China, so there will definitely be certain performance indicators in the Football Association, of course, such indicators do not have any meaning in essence, no team and players do not want to win, when the level is really poor, it is meaningless to set some unrealistic indicators. But in the Asian Cup at home, if the final result is extremely poor, it is another huge blow to Chinese football, which has now fallen to the bottom. But it seems that in the Asian Cup, because there are not many participating teams, the national football team may have a lot of difficulty facing these teams, which is indeed desperate.
In some of the next international A-level competitions, the national football team will be ready to get points, which is very helpful for the team's ranking. The next World Cup, when There are 8 direct qualifying places in Asia, but the current national football team may not be safe, the most desperate thing is that the team even lost to Vietnam in the round of 12, that is to say, this ranking does not actually explain all the problems, some Asian teams behind the national football team, will not be afraid of the Chinese team, and even estimates want to try to get points on the Chinese team, especially Vietnam has "set an example" before, which will make such as Thailand, the past strength is not good, But the team that is constantly improving will try to score points when facing China.
In general, the current national football team is indeed a sense of hopelessness, the outside world also hopes that Chinese football can bottom out, but the current domestic league environment is very bad, the commercial value of the league is basically equal to nothing, coupled with the frequent modification and compression of the schedule, as well as a large number of foreign aid to escape, so that domestic football does look like it does give people a hopeless meaning.
