A new year means a new beginning, bringing joy and anticipation. Just as people are welcoming the arrival of New Year's Day in 2024, the national football team still lives up to expectations and once again adds to everyone's blockage.
In a closed warm-up match, the national football team was 1-2 defeated by the Hong Kong, China team with 2 goals in 8 minutes, and was shown 3 red cards throughout the game. It was a good opportunity to get off to a good start, but the process and results were shocking.
The first defeat of the Chinese men's football team in 2024 came earlier than in previous years!
In preparation for the Asian Cup, which will officially kick off on January 12, the Chinese team conducted training in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, during which they participated in four warm-up matches.
Before this game, the national football team first played a 5-1 victory against the little-known UAE second-tier team Regional Sporting to regain a bit of confidence, but soon lost 0-2 against Oman in the next game.
At 21:30 on January 1, 2024, the Chinese team and the Hong Kong team played the third warm-up match before the start of the Asian Cup, and ushered in the first international A-level match of the national football team in 2024 at Baniyas Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
Since both sides of the game are preparing for the upcoming Asian Cup, there is a need for confidentiality, and the whole game is closed. But who would have thought that in the end, the national football team lost this closed warm-up game, not only was reversed by 2 goals in 8 minutes, but was even shown 3 red cards!
In the 9th minute of the game, the national football team launched an attack, Wu Lei's shot was blocked, and Tan Long followed up and successfully scored, giving the team a 1-0 lead!
However, the situation changed abruptly, and in the 34th minute, Wu Xi was unexpectedly injured and was replaced by Wang Qiuming. At the end of the first half, the national football team temporarily led the Hong Kong, China team 1-0.
In the second half, Yibian fought again, and in the 51st minute, the Hong Kong, China team launched a strong attack, and the 23-year-old Pan Peixuan successfully scored, 1-1!
Seeing that he was equalized by the provincial team that is usually jokingly called, in the 56th minute, Wang Shangyuan was sent off after receiving a red card, and 10 members of the national football team responded.
But soon in the 59th minute, the Hong Kong, China team broke through the national football team's defense, and Pan Peixuan scored two braces to stage a reversal, 1-2!
Since it was a closed warm-up match, there was no full video broadcast, so I don't know what happened on the field. In the 60th minute, the national football team made substitution adjustments, and after Zhang Yuning came off the bench to replace Tan Long, the national football team directly staged 2 red in 9 minutes!
In the 63rd minute, the assistant coach of the national football team on the sidelines was shown a red card by the referee, and in the 72nd minute, a player from the Hong Kong, China team fell to the ground, Wu Shaocong was sent off with a red card, and the national football team further fell into passivity, with only 9 people on the field!
At the end of the game, the Chinese team lost 1-2 to the Hong Kong team, China, and was reversed by the opponent with 2 goals in 8 minutes, and suffered 2 consecutive defeats in the first 4 warm-up matches of the Asian Cup!
In a closed warm-up match against the Hong Kong, China, team, why he could get 3 red cards is somewhat incredible......
National Football Team: We are professional in terms of adding blockage!
The last time they lost to the Hong Kong team, China, the national football team also lost 1-2, but it was more than 38 years ago, and it was in the 80s of the last century!
On May 19, 1985, when the national football team faced the Hong Kong team at home in the World Preliminaries, it did not win the Guangdong team in the Provincial and Hong Kong Cup, and its strength can be seen.
In the face of a good situation that can qualify after a draw, the Chinese men's football team finally lost 1-2 and failed to impact the 1986 Mexico World Cup.
At present, the Chinese team is ranked 79th in the world and 11th in Asia, while Hong Kong, China is ranked 150th and 28th in Asia.
The world rankings of the two teams are not only different, but even a little different, but it is often difficult to say which is stronger and which is weaker than a game, and this game is a good embodiment.
It's time for the national football team to take you to know the flags of various countries, and the teams near the Hong Kong team that defeated the national football team this time include Saint Kitts and Nevis, Lesotho, Eswatini, Dominica, and Yemen.
As the saying goes, there is no harm without contrast. Also on January 1, in a friendly match at 13 o'clock earlier, the Japanese team defeated the Thai team 5-0, and the main players of the World Cup did not play, and a number of newcomers were sent to make their national team debuts.
is a starter who can't even be called the second team of the Japanese men's football team, but in the end he managed to easily score 5 goals against the opposite side, and for the first time in team history, he won 9 consecutive victories in all competitions, with a total of 39 goals!
At 22:30 on January 13, the Chinese team will start the Asian Cup journey and face the Tajikistan team in the first round. There is not much time left for the national football team to adjust, let alone win in this state now, I am afraid that it will be thankful not to suffer a heavy defeat in the group stage.
The Chinese team is in Group A of the group stage of the Asian Cup, and its three opponents are Qatar, ranked 58th in the world, Tajikistan, 106th, and Lebanon, 107th.
When the national football team can't even win against the 150th team, when it meets the Qatar team that competed in the World Cup the year before last, wouldn't it have to put on the legendary 10-0-0 formation?
As we all know, every time the national football team plays a major tournament, there will always be four games in the group stage, namely: the opening game, the life and death battle, the honor battle, and the railway station, and this time it may go all the way to the train station.
How many people still remember that this Asian Cup was supposed to be held in China? It can only be said that fortunately, the national football team is not the host......
Looking at it now, General Fan's view that "the Thai team lost to Vietnam and then lost to Myanmar" is obviously still conservative, and there are still many opponents left for the national football team to challenge!
What do fans think of the Chinese men's football team's 1-2 defeat to Hong Kong, China, ranked 150th in the world, and where is the lower limit of the national football team's loss?
