It's only been three days since the Chinese men's soccer team lost 1-2 to Hong Kong, China, and the Chinese men's soccer team should be getting over the trauma of the loss, but Hong Kong, China, is rubbing salt into the wounds of the Chinese men's soccer team. This may be wrong, the salt should be China men's soccer Asian Cup group stage opponent Tajikistan, the latter in the latest friendly to beat China Hong Kong 2-1, which makes concerned Chinese men's soccer team fans infinite sigh: China men's soccer Asian Cup group stage may die.
On the evening of January 4, Hong Kong, China played a friendly match against Tajikistan. The match was also completely closed in order to keep technical and tactical secrets. Neither team was broadcast live online. Tajikistan was the first to break the deadlock in the 25th minute of the first half. Hong Kong, China equalized in the 33rd minute. It was 1-1 at halftime, and Tajikistan scored again in the 51st minute of the second half to take the lead. the 2-1 scoreline held until the end of the match. Tajikistan scored a warm-up victory before the Asian Cup, which was the first shot against the Chinese men's soccer team.
Why is Tajikistan's victory significant? Because the Chinese men's soccer team had previously played a warm-up match against Hong Kong, China, in which two players and an assistant coach were sent off! In the end, they lost 1-2 to Hong Kong, China. Now Tajikistan beat Hong Kong, China 2-1, and no comparison hurts. Although we can't say that the Chinese men's soccer team will lose to Tajikistan, but after all, there is the possibility of serial defeat, but at least it can show that the Chinese men's soccer team has no face.
We can't rule out the possibility that the Chinese men's soccer team will beat Tajikistan 2-1 in the first match of the Asian Cup group stage, while the latter beat Hong Kong, China 2-1 in a warm-up match, and the latter beat the Chinese men's soccer team 2-1 in a warm-up match, forming a closed-loop chain of defeats. Of course, this is what we expect. Although the national football team can not help the wall, but some national football team still expect them to win, but the reality is very cruel. It's really hard for this Chinese men's soccer team to win against Tajikistan right now.
The Chinese men's soccer team is grouped with Tajikistan, Lebanon and hosts Qatar in the Asian Cup group stage. The first round opponent is Tajikistan. starting on January 13 at 22:30 pm! This match is a do-or-die battle for both teams. Based on the top two teams in the group + the third place in the group with the best 4 results, whoever wins this do-or-die game basically has the right to advance. The losing side is basically going to bottom out. Now all the opponents are not afraid of the Chinese men's soccer team, treating it as a soft target. I don't know if the Chinese men's soccer team is afraid of Tajikistan.
I wonder how the Chinese men's soccer team would feel to see Tajikistan beat Hong Kong, China? In short, as a Chinese fan, I am very sad and disappointed! Now the Chinese men's soccer team has no chance to win against a third-rate Asian team, but of course, now the Chinese men's soccer team has actually become a third-rate Asian team! At the same level, competing head coach ability, player fitness and technical and tactical execution ability level, if these are not done well, Chinese men's soccer team beware of the group stage round.
