Lost again! The Chinese team lost 1:2 to the Saudi Arabian team in the round of 18 of the Asian zone of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Now it's good, is the World Cup dream about to be shattered again? It's infuriating. The game was obviously not bad, why did you lose? Is Chinese football really like this?
From hope to disappointment, a 90-minute rollercoaster of emotions
On the evening of September 10, the Chinese team faced the Saudi team at home in Saudi Arabia. Before the start of the game, the fans still had a glimmer of hope. After all, the Chinese team beat Thailand 3:0 in the last game and was in good shape.

Others say it's a problem with the players. Wu Lei,
