Recently, with only a little more than a month left before the start of the Asian Cup, the Qatar team, as the host, suddenly officially announced the decision to change the head coach, replaced Queiroz by Max López, and represented the team in the subsequent national team games.
Currently, Kata is ranked 6th in Asia, behind Japan, Iran, South Korea, Australia and Saudi Arabia. The progress of the Qatar team in recent years is obvious to all, and the formation of such a situation has to be "attributed" to their large-scale naturalization, and the number of people is even as high as more than 10, which is simply a "naturalized army".
Coincidentally, in the group stage of this Asian Cup, the national football team will face off against the Qatar team, and this game can also be regarded as the "focus battle" in this group, after all, the strength of both teams is ranked in the top two of the group. The most impressive match between the Qatar team before should be the 2018 World Cup qualifiers in Russia, when the national football team not only met the Qatar team in the top 40, but also met the Qatar team in the top 12 matches. At that time, the national football team seemed to be ahead of the opponent in terms of strength, and the few encounters were basically pressing the opponent to play.
It's just that now the strength of the Qatar team after large-scale naturalization has far exceeded that of 2018, and in the case of the national football team, our current strength is definitely far inferior to that of the 2018 batch. Therefore, in the later Asian Cup, the national football team will no longer be the dominant side, but it does not mean that we have no chance at all, if we fight, there is still the possibility of winning the game! As mentioned above, the national football team and the Qatar team are the two strongest teams in this group, which also means that whoever wins this head-to-head matchup will have a better chance of getting the first place in the group.
