Bits and pieces of the 40-year World Cup qualifiers of the national football team (1)

The other day, I watched the live broadcast of the qualifiers between the national football team and Saudi Arabia and thought a lot. Starting from watching the national football team in 1982 and the Asian World Preliminary Tournament live broadcast in New Zealand, the live broadcast of the World Preliminary Tournament of the national football team was almost completely unsupported, but it was always more depressed and sad than happy. From the World Preliminary Tournament in 1982 to the Current 22nd World Preliminary Tournament, the bits and pieces of the heart are not unpleasant, and these days have to be empty to sort out and share with everyone.

I am not a football professional, and if I have something to say, please forgive me, but I only represent my personal opinion.

1. 12th World Cup In Spain in 1982 (first impact on the World Cup)

Conducted in '81, the Asian zone is 2 places. In the early years of reform and opening up, everyone from the original era of ideological imprisonment to the period of receiving new things and new ideas in the world, sports began to start again, and football is the top priority of sports, naturally it has also received absolute attention from the Chinese people.

The head coach of the Class of '82 is Su Yongshun, the former coach of the Guangdong team. At that time, the Chinese football genre was divided into two factions, the Guangdong team under the guidance of Su Yongshun won the national championship, Su Dao was the representative of the southern faction, the southern faction is characterized by small, fast and smart, the advantage is that the game is very ornamental, and the disadvantage is that sometimes the game is not scored. The main team members Rong Zhixing, Gu Guangming, Huang Xiangdong and so on.

The national football team played very well this time, after eliminating the then Asian team North Korea into the final 4 double round robin, the final result is 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, including double kills Saudi Arabia, 1 win and 1 loss with Kuwait, 1 draw and 1 loss with New Zealand, and finally the same points as New Zealand, goal difference, Kuwait ranked first directly out of the qualifier, we and New Zealand made up a match to determine another qualifying place.

I remember that CCTV broadcast the game live, there was a 9-inch black-and-white TV at home, I sat in front of the TV, watched the game the whole time, then the signal was received with an antenna, the image quality was not very good, I first heard Song Shixiong's commentary on the goal before I saw Huang Xiangdong's goal slow motion playback, this was my first time to watch the live broadcast of a sports game, so I also liked football and began to play football inside and outside the school.

However, in the final make-up match in Singapore, the national football team lost 1:2 to New Zealand, losing the place to enter the World Cup.

Public opinion at the time was to condemn Saudi Arabia for releasing water in the last game, losing 0:5 to New Zealand, even if it lost 1 less national football team. But in fact, you think in reverse, if Saudi Arabia loses one more goal, then China and New Zealand will not qualify for the play-offs. In the end, Saudi Arabia handed over the right to qualify to the national football team and New Zealand, and you fought for it yourself, regardless of my Saudi affairs, I think it is also reasonable.

The reasons why I feel that this year did not qualify are:

A. Inexperienced in the national football competition, disbanded without the full end of the schedule, the points lead thought it had been qualified, and did not fully understand the rules of the game;

B. We and New Zealand against the body does not have an advantage, this is the disadvantage of the southern style of play, encounter a tall but rough New Zealand pair, the physical confrontation is very bad, can not win; (this is very similar to the current Vietnamese team, the Vietnamese team is actually not bad technology, but when encountering a team that is high and high, it will be a loss)

Finally, Kuwait and New Zealand represented Asia in the World Cup held in Italy in 1982, but they were brutally abused by the teams in the world arena, which allowed us to see the huge gap between the level of Asian football and the world level. In the end, Italy relied on the defensive counterattack to eliminate Brazil and Argentina with talented player Maradona to win the World Cup.

After that, there were many articles on the advanced nature of the defensive counterattack style of play in Chinese football, and many years were discussing what kind of play the national football team should adopt in the future, defensive counterattack? Long pass rush? Or full attack and full defense has continued for many years.

2. 13th FIFA World Cup Mexico 1986 (519)

The enthusiasm of the Chinese people for football is increasing, and the expectation that the national football team must qualify in this cup has reached a high point, and the last time it almost qualified, the national football team began the journey of the group stage under the leadership of head coach Zeng Xuelin in such a thick atmosphere.

There are 8 groups in total, and the national football team has Hong Kong, Macau and Brunei in the group, and the first group qualified to enter the top 8. Home and away system, the away team was forced to draw by Hong Kong, and the last game of the group was the national football team home to Hong Kong, CCTV live broadcast. The live signal was sent before the game started, of course, my home is not the original 9-inch blackboard, replaced by a black and white 14-inch Shanghai card. The image is also a lot clearer. One night sitting in front of the TV, as the game progressed, the national football team kicked more and more urgently, I was more anxious in my heart, I was reluctant to go to the toilet, my eyes were wide open and I kept staring at the screen, and I didn't even watch the whole game in the time of drinking.

In fact, on the evening of May 19, 1985, the Beijing Workers Stadium could qualify from the group as long as it was tied with the national football team, but the team was surrounded by the general public opinion to win 2 or even 5 goals against Hong Kong, and it was ready to win the situation. Hong Kong and Guangdong are similar in strength, holding the Provincial Hong Kong Cup every year, and Guangdong has won more. Therefore, public opinion believes that it is too normal for the national team to defeat the provincial team.

At the beginning of the game, round after round of attacks were launched against the Hong Kong goal, but unfortunately, the situation was not scored, but instead he scored 1 goal by a Hong Kong free kick, but then Li Hui made up a shot to pull back 1 goal to end the first half. At this time, although China has the advantage, it has not had a good chance to score goals, while Hong Kong, attacking the Chinese goal, can often create scoring opportunities, and the Chinese goal is full of dangers.

At this time, if the coaches are calm and control the situation on the field, there is no problem in keeping the balance, but the national football team is still crazy in the second half, and it is counter-attacked by Hong Kong, and then concedes another goal after making up for the shot. In the end, the game was lost at home and Hong Kong reached the quarterfinals.

Afterwards, through the news, no fans left the game, and the scene of 80,000 fans was silent like a graveyard, and it was frighteningly quiet. Afterwards, the fans blocked the exit of the stadium, did not let Zeng Xuelin leave, begged for explanations, the angry crowd made a smashing incident, burned the car and other extreme behaviors, causing a very bad impact, this is the 519 of Chinese football, public opinion criticism is overwhelming, Zeng Xuelin directly dismissed the class.

Up to now, there are countless cases of football teams in small regional countries winning over big countries, but at that time, how could a big country lose to Hong Kong, and it was not possible to draw, and the psychological pressure on the coaches under the pressure of public opinion was also huge, and Hong Kong implemented the tactics of defensive counterattack well and succeeded.

The impact of the defeat of the national football team has brought Chinese football into a trough, and since then, the problem of "one foot in the door" has been crowned as the biggest problem of the national football team, and how to solve it has become the main problem that industry insiders have been discussing.

In the subsequent knockout rounds, South Korea and Iraq won 2 Tickets to Mexico, and Since then, South Korea has not missed the World Cup.

In the 1986 World Cup, Argentina, led by Maradona, was the final winner, Maradona's goal of the century and the goal of the hand of God appeared in the knockout match with England, and also made Maradona become recognized as the new king of the ball.
