We will never budge on the issue of principle, and this time we should praise Chen Shuyuan!

On the afternoon of June 11, some media reported that the official website of the AFC adjusted the match time between the national football team and Syria, from the original 1:00 a.m. on June 16 to 2:00 a.m. For reasons that there were no clear adjustments at the time, the report sparked a widespread discussion among fans and the media. Some fans even lamented that this may be the "yang conspiracy" of Syria or a football federation, and the road to national football promotion may add new variables.
But the answer given by the famous journalist Ma Dexing: This was proposed by the Chinese Football Association and approved by the AFC. The reason for this is to avoid being "calculated".
After winning the Maldives team, the national football team is currently ranked second in the second place in 8 groups (Oman has played all the matches and temporarily ranked first with 12 points), and has mastered the initiative to qualify from the group. As long as syria is defeated in the final battle, the national football team will be able to advance to the round of 12.
According to the original schedule, the two matches between the national football team and Syria and Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan were all started at 21:00 on June 15 (1:00 a.m. Beijing time on the 16th), while Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates had a time difference of 1 hour. If the schedule remains unchanged, it is possible that the national football team may be "calculated". That is, at the end of the Sino-Syrian war, the battle of Sau was basically only played in the first half; and Uzbekistan, which currently has 9 points, may also be a major competitor to the national football team. That is to say, if the Sino-Syrian war ends first, the trend of the Battle of Sau may have an impact on the national football team and even the entire qualifying situation.
On the other hand, the battle with China and Syria was also fought at 22:00 local time on May 15 (2:00 a.m. Beijing time on the 16th), and only the second group of the eight groups had two matches between Australia and Jordan, Chinese Taipei and Kuwait. Both matches were played in Kuwait, and the time difference between Kuwait and the UAE was another 1 hour. That is to say, an hour after the end of the battle between the national football team and Syria, the qualifying situation of the above four teams in the group was finally "showdown", and Jordan and Kuwait, who were trying to win the second place in the group, may not have the heart to "do tricks".
Therefore, what was postponed this time was the match time of the Sino-Syrian battle, and the two matches in the second group were not adjusted.
In a word, the Chinese Football Association, which has suffered N losses on the issue of jet lag, has learned fine this time. Don't always talk about "local time", but want a "unified" start time (except for the second group, which has little to do with other groups competing for second place). You are not willing to change, I change, I postpone 1 hour to level with you.
The point is that the Chinese Football Association has proposed to postpone it by 1 hour, the AFC fully supports it, and the Syrian Football Association has nothing to say – maybe it is useless. Because they are the "host" and the undertaker, they have the "right to speak". Besides, as netizens joked, the international footballers are still playing games before 12 o'clock in the evening, and there may be many who stay up all night. Don't say 2 a.m., it's 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock to fight!
Don't look at just postponing it for 1 hour, where the "learning" is too big. The "as long as the draw is out" of that year, saudi arabia and New Zealand joined hands in 1982 to "do away" the national football team, etc., are vividly remembered. On this issue, the Chinese Football Association has not only "learned to be refined" and become smarter, but also "calculated" and must fight for every inch of land, and will never give in to the issue of principle. Moreover, making full use of the favorable conditions of the undertaker, each step can be described as watertight, evidence-based, reasonable and disciplined. Even if someone really wants to "yin" the national football, there is no way to do anything or do it, in vain!
Looking back at what has happened in the past ten days since the change of address from suzhou, the Chinese Football Association has really fought hard for the national football team, broken its heart, and has been wrestling with all kinds of invisible and untouchable "opponents". Now it seems that the FOOTBALL Association has walked very steadily every step, and it can even be said that it is "victorious in every battle". For example, the schedule was revised to be more favorable to the national football team, the Chinese team played in an empty field, and the refereeing problem did not appear to be obviously unfavorable to the national football team, until the postponement of the time of the match with Syria...
More than a year ago, after the first stage of the Top 40 competition was played, the Football Association made internal division of labor adjustments, and Chen Shuyuan was personally responsible for the national team. Now it seems that this is indeed a precautionary and far-sighted move, and it is a good move. This time, Du Zhaocai and Chen Shuyuan personally led the team to the west, which not only gave the national football team the greatest guarantee from all aspects, but also obviously achieved great results in coordination and communication with other opponents of the AFC, at least without loss.
Don't take the "national football team if it has the strength of Brazil, are you still afraid of others' calculations", it is two different "melons", and the issue of principle must not be compromised. I don't give what belongs to me, and you must not take it; no inch of the fields in our house are superfluous.
The heart of harming others must not be there, and the heart of preventing people must not be without. We do not harm others, and we absolutely do not allow others to "calculate" themselves. In the operation of the whole process of the remaining matches of the top 40 competition, the Chinese Football Association has indeed done a lot of work, and has also done its best to "escort" the national football team from all aspects. This should also be one of the main reasons why so far, the national football team has won 3-3, the team has performed normally, and morale has been high.
In this regard alone, I think the Chinese Football Association deserves praise, and Chen Shuyuan deserves praise!
