Now that the Asian Cup is about to start, many fans are very concerned about the performance of the national football team in the new year. However, judging from the previous championship winning index of foreign media, the national football team has been completely underestimated.
Japan and South Korea are in the top two in terms of the championship index rankings, and they are considered to have a good chance of winning the Asian Cup. In contrast, the national football team ranks ninth in the championship index and ranks with Iraq. A total of 24 teams participated in the entire Asian Cup, and the national football team ranked ninth, which means that in the eyes of the outside world, the national football team is basically at the level of the middle and lower reaches. It is enough to see from this that the foreign media is indeed not optimistic about the national football team, after all, the performance of the national football team in Asia in recent years is indescribable, especially after losing to Vietnam and other teams one after another, it is even more important for the outside world to have no expectations for the national football team. Now that the national football team can't even enter the top ten in the entire Asian rankings, it is indeed impossible for foreign institutions to be optimistic about the national football team winning the championship.
Therefore, for fans, don't have too high expectations for the results of the national football team, as long as they enter the top 16 or the quarterfinals.
It is worth mentioning that although the index of the national football team winning the championship before the start of this competition is not optimistic. However, from the day when the national football team arrived in Doha to prepare for the game, the local people still gave a lot of support to the national football team. For example, after the national football team got off the plane, many local fans went to the scene to pull banners in the aisles on both sides of the airport, shouting for the national football team to come on, come on, China. There were even local black-skinned or white-skinned fans who also came to the scene to welcome the national football team.
From this point of view, although the national football team is not particularly ideal, there is still a group of very loyal fans behind them. The support of these fans is believed to encourage the players to play better in the future, Wu Lei also deliberately posted the video of the fans' welcome on the day to the social platform after arriving in the local area, and said that he was very moved that football is very pure and very popular everywhere.
In this way, I believe that other players will also be touched by this spur themselves, and they will not be able to live up to the expectations of the fans.
In fact, judging from the performance of the previous two warm-up games, the overall performance of the national football team, whether it was against Oman or Hong Kong, China, did not meet expectations, and fans will inevitably be worried. We don't know exactly what happened to the national football team at that time, maybe because of the fatigue of long-term training abroad, or because there were other reasons. But no matter what, those two warm-up matches were enough for the national football team to learn a good lesson, so that they could calm down and prepare for the Asian Cup more cautiously, and also realized a truth: the strength is not as good as our opponents, and it is possible to achieve a counterattack.
All in all, after the setbacks, it can keep the players on their toes for every game that follows. At the same time, you should lower your posture and finish every game with a good and humble attitude, and take every opponent seriously. In this way, I believe that the results of the national football team will definitely not be bad.
