The Chinese men's football team has added to the congestion of fans.
In the closed warm-up match on January 1, the Chinese men's football team was reversed 1-2 by Hong Kong, China. Losing in the closing game in 2023 and losing in the debut in 2024, the national football team is as "stable" as ever. It seems that it is also a good thing that the warm-up game is not open and broadcast live - at least, fans don't have to be angry and sad in the middle of the night.
Three days ago, the national football team lost 0-2 to Oman, and it is normal to lose, after all, Oman's FIFA ranking (75th) is higher than that of the national football team (79th). A 2-1 defeat to Hong Kong hurts my pride. The last time the national football team lost to Hong Kong, China in 90 minutes of regular time, it was on May 19, 1985, and fans were reluctant to mention the "5.19 shame".
0-2 loss to Oman and 1-2 loss to Hong Kong, China, these two warm-up matches are serious international A-level competitions, and FIFA has to calculate points. Especially after the 1-2 loss to Hong Kong, China, some media people said that "it is very bad for FIFA points".
How disadvantageous is it? "Scoring expert" Ye Qing Football World came to calculate the scores of these 2 warm-up games:
The 0-2 loss to Oman was not played during the FIFA match, so the weight coefficient is only 5, and the We value (expected result) of the national football team is 0.47508, which can be calculated as a reduction of 2.38 points for the national football team.
Calculate the 1-2 loss to Hong Kong, China in the warm-up match, the weight coefficient is still 5, the national football team was 1299 points before, and Hong Kong, China was 1043 points. If the national football team loses, the We value is 0.72759, so if the game loses, the FIFA points of the national football team will be reduced by 3.64 points.
2 defeats in 3 days, not to mention adding to the shameful record, the FIFA points of the national football team have decreased by 6 points, and it may be difficult to keep even the top 80.
Fortunately, this is only an A-level event outside of the FIFA match period, and the weight coefficient (5) is not high, let's assume that it is a major event such as the group stage of the Asian Cup (the weight coefficient is 35), and if the national football team loses to Hong Kong, China, 25.5 points will be deducted in 1 game!
