Football, the world's number one sport, has always been a pain and a dream in the hearts of Chinese fans. Whenever the national football team sets foot on the field, it is always hoped that they can win glory for the country, but it is undeniable that in recent years, the performance of the national football team has been questioned. On the evening of October 16, the warm-up match with Uzbekistan was once again in focus. The result was 1-2, and the national football team suffered another defeat. What does this game reveal for us?
First of all, from the data point of view, the passivity of the national football team in the whole game is an unavoidable problem. The shot ratio of 3-24 is enough to show the embarrassment of the Chinese team in the game. However, the game was not without its highlights. The performance of Wei Shihao and Yan Junling became the key to saving some face. Wei Shihao not only scored, but more importantly, his performance on the field fully demonstrated his skills and ability to control the ball.
Wei Shihao's speech after the game is even more thought-provoking. "We (the national team) have to keep walking." This sentence is not only a spur to himself, but also a call to the entire national football team. In Asia, many teams are actively seeking technological advancements, and the Chinese team must not be left behind if it wants to make a difference.
Although the remarks of the Uzbekistan head coach were regarded as "humiliating" by some fans, from another point of view, this is also a true portrayal of the national football team. Compared to other Asian powerhouses, the Chinese team does appear lackluster in creating opportunities and attacking.
The comments of the media and journalists further reflect the public's concern about the current situation of the national football team. Reporter Song Chengliang's views also represent the concerns of many fans: "At the current level, you must be prepared not to reach the round of 18. ”
But it is undeniable that every failure is an opportunity for growth. The next challenge for the national football team will be the World Qualifiers against South Korea in November. For the Chinese team, this will be a good opportunity to test themselves. Whatever the outcome, fans want to see the national football team move forward without fear.
This warm-up match with Uzbekistan may have revealed a lot of problems for the national team, but at the same time, it also showed us the way forward. As fans, we should continue to support the national football team and look forward to their real strength and style in future matches.
