The situation of the national football team's qualification: the final round of Qatar is dead! Win and advance to 3 consecutive draws to copy Portugal for 16 years?

On January 17, Beijing time, in the second round of the group stage of the Asian Cup, the Chinese men's football team drew 0-0 with Lebanon, and accumulated 2 points in two consecutive draws.

In the first round of the group stage, the national football team drew 0-0 with Tajikistan, and faced Lebanon in the second round, which was still a 0-0, so the two rounds were over, and the two consecutive draws only scored 2 points, and the qualifying situation became precarious.

Fortunately, according to the rules, the top two in each group and the third place in the four best groups advanced to the round of 16, so in the final round against Qatar at 23 o'clock on January 22, the national football team still has a chance, and it must be the host!

If the national football team can defeat Qatar, then 3 rounds, 1 win, 2 draws, 5 points, can ensure that the top two in the group and directly qualify.

If the national football team draws with Qatar, then 3 consecutive draws accumulate 3 points, and theoretically it is still possible to finish second in the group, provided that Tajikistan loses to Qatar in this round and draws with Lebanon in the last round, so that Tajikistan and Lebanon are both 2 points in 3 rounds, 1 point less than the national football team.

Of course, after 3 consecutive draws, the national football team is more likely to win the third place in the group, then it will be PK with the third place in the other group. The goal difference of the national football team is 0, and it is still doubtful whether it can be among the top four with the best results. It is worth mentioning that in 2016, Ronaldo's Portugal came out of the group stage with three consecutive draws and finally won the championship.

If the national football team loses to Qatar, then it is theoretically possible to finish third in the group with 2 points in 3 rounds, provided that Lebanon loses to Tajikistan in the last round and finishes at the bottom with 1 point in 3 rounds, or Tajikistan loses to Qatar and Lebanon in a row and finishes at the bottom with 1 point in 3 rounds. However, if the two points want to compete with the third place in the other groups, it is almost certainly impossible to make it to the top four with the best results, and they will basically be eliminated.
