With the end of the group stage of the Asian Cup, the national football team has become one of the first eight players to go out of this Asian Cup, and the well-known media ESPN has given the national football team the lowest rating among the eight eliminated teams, and it is also the only team with the lowest rating of D, but it can only be said that the lowest rating standard is D, and the performance of the national football team is completely less than the first 13 letters of the 26 letters. With the results of two draws and one loss in the group stage, the national football team has once again fallen out of the lower limit, the international ranking has fallen from 79th to 86th, and the Asian ranking has also fallen to the twelfth place.
ESPN gives the lowest evaluation to the national football team, compared to other elimination teams can only be said to be eliminated completely because of lack of strength, and even our provincial team Hong Kong, China team only lost to the Iranian team in the group stage with a small score and obtained the highest evaluation to reach the highest A-level, on the other hand, the national football team faces a team weaker than itself, a goal, a victory can not be done, the original expectation is that the goal of the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup did not even rush out of the group stage, ESPN's evaluation of the national football team D can be said to be completely reasonable and give the national football team a lot of face. In addition to the Oman team, which also received a lower rating, the other second-tier teams all qualified from the group, only the national football team was in the weakest level of the host group, but once again fell below the bottom line, becoming one of the only two teams that failed to score, the other is also a populous Indian team, but the level of players is weak, and the group is unlucky, although they failed to score a goal, they played a wonderful performance and finally the media also gave a higher B- evaluation, with these two examples again, the national football team is really disheartened.
At the same time, with the poor performance of the national football team in the group stage of the Asian Cup, the points of the Chinese men's football team in the world ranking have dropped again and again, although it is still ranked 12th in Asia, but the real level may only be the same as the Asian Cup ranking hovering around 18th in Asia. The reduction of the world ranking also indicates to a certain extent that the draw of the World Cup qualifiers will become more and more unfavorable in the future, and we can also be in the same gear with some stronger players to avoid them, but with the drop and drop, the national football team can only be divided into a gear with a lower level, and then it will have to face a number of strong teams, and the national football team that is not enough in itself will not be blessed by the draw, and the results will inevitably break through the lower limit again!
What is more terrible than the elimination is that the average age of the national football team in this Asian Cup has reached 30 years old, and it recruits more players with higher age and higher level for the sake of results, but now it seems that the older and higher-level national football players can only play at this level, so how bad are the young players with low age and lower level in Asia? Now it is possible to rely on veterans such as Wu Lei, Wu Xi, and Zhang Linpeng, but after two or three years, these people really can't play, who can take over? Is the future really as former international player Xu Liang said, the next five years will be the lowest point in Chinese football?
This Asian Cup national football team can really be described as a comprehensive failure, the results are collapsed, there are no young players to make up, the international ranking is down again and again, etc., which of these things can bring a lot of blows to a team, but the national football team has all of them, is there any hope for the future of the Chinese men's football team?
