As of January 19, the national soccer team has completed the first two rounds of the Asian Cup, temporarily placing second in the group with two draws, without scoring or conceding a goal. In the final round of matches, the national soccer team will welcome Qatar, which has already advanced.
Zhan Jun updated a status on his Weibo account today, talking about the situation of the national soccer team's advancement. He wrote: "Regardless of what outsiders say and how loud the criticism is, the facts are: the national soccer team is still in second place in the group stage; we haven't conceded any goals and our goal difference isn't negative; we've only gotten two yellow cards, which works in our favor in a fair competition; our opponents in the last game have advanced to the round of 16, but we are still in control of our own fate in the tournament... Personally, I still have illusions about that."
