The Asian Cup qualifiers have been completed, and 11 teams have successfully broken through from the qualifiers to advance to the top 24 of the Asian Cup, namely: Uzbekistan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Palestine, Jordan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Thailand, Malaysia, Bahrain, India, plus the 13 teams that have been determined to directly qualify for the Asian Cup as early as possible, namely Qatar and the top 12 teams in the World Preliminary Round in Asia, and the 2023 Asian Cup Top 24 are officially finalized. Groupings also surfaced.
The AFC will be divided according to the order of the world rankings, and according to the latest world rankings, the Chinese men's football team (world ranking 77) locked the second gear.
(1) The worst group result of the national football team: [Vietnam] [Thailand], against these two opponents, the national football team should have no certainty of victory!
(2) The best grouping result of the national football team: [Palestine] [Indonesia], the national football team is no longer good, and it should be no problem to take three points against these two opponents.
As for which team in the first gear is divided into a group, there is almost no need to consider, for the national football team, who meets everyone is enough to drink a pot, and it is extraordinary to get a point.
According to the rules, the top two of the asian cup groups directly locked in a round of 16 seat, and the third place with the best four groups can also enter the round of 16. According to such a situation, there should be hope for the national football team to enter the round of 16, and a small goal of protecting 16 to compete for 8 can be formulated.
Although the Chinese men's football team has lost its host status, it still hopes that the men's football team will make good use of the opportunity of this Asian Cup and strive to achieve a result that satisfies the majority of fans, and if it can get the top eight, it can also have the confidence to look forward to the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico after the expansion.
