On the field of the Asian Cup, the Chinese men's football team brought us another suspenseful drama. In our first game against Tajikistan, it stands to reason that we had the advantage on paper, but who would have thought that the result would be a ridiculously 0-0 draw. This is reminiscent of the old saying, "Football is round".
On the day of the game, the fans were full of expectations, but at the end, many people were confused. The Tajikistan team is only ranked 19th in Asia, while our majestic Chinese team is ranked 11th. Such an opponent, logically speaking, we should be at our fingertips, but the reality is cruel. In the game, the Chinese team seemed to be a little powerless and was a little embarrassed by the opponent. The possession rate and shot rate are not dominant, which makes many fans feel drummed in their hearts.
Next, the Chinese team will face the Lebanese team, and this game is undoubtedly the key of the key. But that's when the bad news came. Our attacking striker Wei Shihao was absent due to injury, and veteran Wu Xi also missed the game due to injury. This is undoubtedly worse for the already embarrassed Chinese team. Fans are starting to worry, can we survive this life-and-death battle?
In this context, the attitude of Song Kai, chairman of the Chinese Football Association, is particularly important. He said that he would not return to China early because of the poor results of the national football team, and would accompany the national football team throughout the process. Such support has undoubtedly given the team great encouragement. At the same time, there are also rumors that if Jankovic's leadership is not ideal, Zheng Zhi, a famous national football player, may be on the throne at any time. Such rumors undoubtedly put more pressure on the team, but it is also an incentive.
Against this backdrop, our players should also be aware that they are not just fighting for themselves, but for the honour of their country. Veteran Zheng Zhi and star Wu Lei, they should both take on this heavy responsibility. The author believes that in the game against Lebanon, the national football team has a great chance to win. After all, miracles happen all the time on the pitch and our players always show their fighting spirit when it counts.
