The most recent meeting was in 2011, when Qatar won 2-0 against the national team.
In this matchup, the Qatari coach who had just taken office before this cup tournament, Spaniard Marquez, made a nine-man rotation, and even the goalkeeper was played by the second goal! The biggest change in the Chinese men's football team is that Wu Lei played as a substitute, and the returning Wei Shihao started! Before the game, head coach Jankovic said: "This is a crucial game, and we are very excited and motivated to go all out to play this game." "It's more about the rotation of fitness, the second half to have more physical players on the game, it's a 90-minute game, and these changes were made with that in mind. ”

Zhang Yuning sent an inverted triangle, and Wei Shihao missed the door a little bit!

It's too obvious! There's no room for it.
Full Time Stats: Possession: 41%-59%, Shots: 10-10, Shots on target: 2-1, Corners: 1-3, Chance to score: 1-0, Score: 0-1. If you can't score a goal, then you can blame the head coach! If a well-known commentator doesn't look at it that way, will there be results if you fight? That is the premise and the basic quality! If you don't fight to the death? Do you still deserve to stand on the field? Wu Lei can't score a goal like that! He also accuses the head coach of being inferior to Lippi!
The Chinese men's football team scored 0 goals in three games in the group stage of the Asian Cup, ranking third in the group with 2 points. If the national football team wants to qualify third in the four best groups, it can only hope that Syria will draw 0-0 with India and Palestine will draw with Hong Kong, China -
(1) In the final round of Group B, India drew with Syria, and the score could only be 0-0. The national football team has better fair play points than Syria.
(2) In the final round of Group C, Hong Kong, China drew with Palestine, any score is acceptable. The national football team's goal difference is better than that of Palestine.
Only then will the national football team be able to advance to the round of 16 of the Asian Cup with one of the four best group finishes (it has been determined that it will not be able to surpass the third place in Group D/E/F)
According to the Opta model, the probability of the national football team advancing to the round of 16 of the Asian Cup is only 1.1%, which is the lowest among all teams that still have the possibility of qualifying.
