The last time the Chinese men's football team participated in the World Cup finals was in 2002, and now 20 years have passed, and national football fans feel that they have waited too long. In fact, many national teams in world football have returned to the World Cup longer than the Chinese men's football team, especially the Wales men's football team, and the last time they participated in the World Cup had to go back to 1958, when Chinese football had almost no presence in world football.
Compared with the Chinese men's football team competing for The World Cup place in the Asian region, the Welsh men's football team is in a very competitive European region, FIFA only allocates 13 places, which is destined to be a world cup spectator for many stronger teams, including the Wales men's football team.
In the group stage of the European World Preliminary Round last year, the Welsh men's football team did not have the opportunity to compete with the Belgian men's football team for the first place in the group, and finally qualified for the play-offs with the second place in the group, and drew a draw to be in the same group as the Ukrainian men's football team, the Scottish men's football team and the Austrian men's football team.
The Wales men's football team is only two wins away from returning to the World Cup, and has eliminated the Austrian men's football team 2-1 at the end of March this year, and now the battle with the Ukrainian men's football team determines who will go to Qatar. In the latest edition of FIFA's World Rankings, Wales is ranked 18th and Ukraine is 27th.
In this life-and-death battle, the final laugh was the Welsh men's football team, which also had to rely on the play of Real Madrid superstar Bale, a free kick in the first half was sent to the box, and the Ukrainian player Yarmolenko's header was released into a self-swinging oolong. With the bravery of Welsh men's goalkeeper Hennessy, helped the team to maintain 1-0 until the end of the game.
Statistics show that the Welsh men's football team is in the inferior position in the whole game, with only 32% of the possession rate, shooting 10-22 on goal and shooting 3-9, and the Ukrainian men's football team attack only blossoms and does not bear fruit.
In this way, the Welsh men's football team ended 64 years of waiting and returned to the World Cup finals in the presence of 32,000 fans on the spot, which is also the largest time span in the history of the World Cup to qualify for two World Cups.
As the star of the team, Bale finally fulfilled his dream of participating in the World Cup, although he could not play in Real Madrid, as long as the national team became alive, there were no regrets in his career.
After the game, Bale, as the captain, led the Welsh men's football team to complete a crazy celebration action, directly from the middle circle hand in hand sprint 60 meters to the fan stands on the other side of the goal, gliding on the stadium to celebrate, very crazy.
