In this World Preliminaries, Qatar, the two-time Asian Cup champion, still maintains a strong state, winning all 4 games and scoring 16 goals, with the highest offensive ability of 36 teams, and the performance of only conceding 2 goals in defense, which can also be called an Asian powerhouse. However, Kuwait, the team in the same group, which is also the Asian champion, has a world of difference, with only 3 points after 4 rounds, which is even inferior to the national football team. As things stand, Kuwait would be out of the tournament if they lose one more game, and if they want to qualify for the round of 18, they will have to win both matches in June.
Many fans may ask, Kuwait and Qatar are in the same group, and it is normal for the old champion to meet the upstart, and it is normal to not be able to beat, and I am afraid that the other opponents in the group are not good at stubble. But to the disappointment of many people, Kuwait's group situation is actually much better than the national football team, in addition to Qatar, the two opponents are India ranked 121st in the world and Afghanistan ranked 151st in the world. As we all know, India has no sports strength except cricket, and Afghanistan has just ended a decades-long war, and the country is in ruins, and football cannot be strong.
However, Kuwait's performance was disappointing, and Qatar's two defeats in March were not mentioned, after all, the opponent is the current Asian hegemon, and the scores of the two games were (0-3 and 1-2) by Qatar. However, in the first World Preliminary Match, Kuwait lost to India, making the four-goal victory over Afghanistan in the second game seem less important. Sure enough, both India and Afghanistan have four points after four rounds, especially Afghanistan, who won one and drew one of their two games against India in March. In this comparison, Kuwait's performance is so bad that the team can only finish at the bottom of the group and are on the verge of elimination.
Kuwait have the best schedule for the World Preliminary Tournament in June, they have already finished their two-legged showdown with Qatar, and then only need to win India and Afghanistan in a row, and the final nine points can ensure qualification. If Kuwait is not in good shape, at least 1 win and 1 draw must be guaranteed, so that they can finally get 7 points, and then hope that India and Afghanistan will both overturn and at least retain a little probability of qualifying. If Kuwait loses one of these games, they are almost certain to miss out on the round of 18, let alone both.
In contrast, after the national football team beat Singapore 4-1, the situation turned very good. In the next battle between China and Thailand, the national football team can advance as long as it wins, but considering that in the first leg, the national football team only won 2-1, and the process was more difficult than imagined. Therefore, the national football team should still be vigilant and reduce unnecessary mistakes, Ivankovic should not be overconfident when arranging the troops, the best is suitable for the national football team, and not everything must catch up with the trend. It is worth mentioning that in this game, the number one star of the national football team, Wu Lei, and the midfielder Li Yuanyi, were suspended and could not appear, Wu Lei was a yellow card in the last game against Singapore, accumulating two yellow cards, so he was automatically suspended for one game, and Li Yuanyi was automatically suspended for one game because he ate a red card in the game against Singapore。 It is worth mentioning that the naturalized general of the national football team, Alain, previously stated that the national football team in the world preliminaries in June, if he is in good shape, he will return to the national football team, and in the latest Chinese Super League game, Alan also scored the first goal of the season, and it is also the first goal of his return to the Chinese Super League, it seems that Alan is in good shape, the national football team in June, if nothing else, he should be able to return, in this way, the national football forward line will add another fierce general!
