From November 2022 to February 2023, the anti-gang work in Chinese football lasted for more than 3 months, and after the fall of Chen Jiayuan, president of the Football Association, the anti-gang sweep in football was basically the finale, and small shrimp may be involved, but the big fish is basically gone. From the perspective of time, Chen Jiayuan has been taken away for 22 days, and Li Tie has been arrested for 4 months, during which time Chinese football is not very calm. Thanks to Yan Zhi, the owner of Wuhan Zall Er, if not for his courage to expose and report Li Tie, these moths in football may still be plague Chinese football. After Li Tie was investigated, people like Liu Yi, Chen Yongliang, Chen Jiayuan and others were taken away one after another, they were in a boat, and it seemed easy to investigate.
Chinese football is on track, and the next step is to recover and move forward steadily from the basics. It is worth mentioning that 22 days after Chen Jiayuan was taken away, Chinese football has successively ushered in good news, and the anti-black sweep in football has begun to bear fruit. On March 8, CCTV broadcast the Asian Cup qualifiers between the Chinese U20 women's football team and the Philippines women's football team, in the first half, Huo Yuexin scored two goals and scored twice, Zou Mengyao pushed Jiangong, in just 45 minutes, the Chinese U20 women's football team 3-0 Philippines U20 women's football showed its fangs. The game has lost its suspense in advance, and the women's football team is still our pride, and since the Chinese women's football team won the Asian Cup, the attention of the women's football team has greatly increased. In the second half, the women's football girls continued to extend their advantage, and in the end, the Chinese women's team beat the Philippines 6-0.
Women's football is still strong, and men's football is also gratifying. U20 men's Asian Cup, currently in the third round, has 4 teams advanced to the round of eight, namely Uzbekistan and Iraq in Group A, and Iran and Australia in Group B, the most regrettable is Vietnam, this Southeast Asian team played at a high level, in the first two rounds of 2 consecutive wins, actually after the third round, was eliminated, 1-3 loss to Iran is a pity, and Australia beat Qatar 9-1, in terms of goal difference, Vietnam lost to Iran and Australia.
Chinese fans are most concerned about the situation in Group D, with Japan winning two consecutive games in the first two rounds with 2-1 China and 3-0 Kyrgyzstan, ranking first in the group with 6 points. The Chinese team was reversed by the Japanese team 1-2 in the first round, but the second game defeated the defending champion Saudi Arabia 2-0, so that the Chinese team got 3 points in 2 games, and the Saudi team also won 1 win and 1 loss to get 3 points, but according to the AFC rules, in the case of the same points, priority is given to the record of the head-to-head, the Chinese team should naturally be ranked ahead of the Saudi team, Kyrgyzstan is at the bottom of the group with 0 wins and 2 losses.
On March 9 at 8 p.m., the third round of Group D was played, with China vs Kyrgyzstan and Japan vs Saudi Arabia. As long as the Chinese team beats Kyrgyzstan, they will qualify from the group with six points, and they don't have to worry about the victory or defeat of the other match, but if the Chinese team draws, it may be out, provided that the Saudi team needs to beat the Japanese team. And if the Chinese team loses, whether the Saudi team wins or loses, the Chinese team has the possibility of being out, because if the Chinese team only takes 3 points in 3 games, which means that Kyrgyzstan also gets 3 points, even if the Saudi team only has 3 points, the three teams have the same points, and they have to divide specific rankings according to mutual records, mutual goal difference, mutual goals, mutual goals, etc. Just like the Vietnamese team in Group B, they got 6 points but were eliminated early because of the disadvantage of head-to-head record and goal difference.
Therefore, the U20 Chinese men's team needs to go all out, stabilize their mentality and strive to take the lead in the first half. As long as they beat Kyrgyzstan, the Chinese men's football team will reach the last eight of the Asian Cup. In this way, the Chinese women's and men's football teams are rising one after another, and we also need such victories to boost morale, especially the Chinese men's team, regardless of the strength of the opponent, must be brave to fight, it may create miracles.
