The ongoing Asian Games in Hangzhou are attracting a lot of attention. The national soccer team is getting a lot of attention because the games are on our doorstep and we enjoy home field advantage. Many fans are hoping to see the rise of the national soccer team, but the end result may be disappointing. China's national soccer team was placed in Group A for the Hangzhou Asian Games and defeated India with a 5-1 thrashing in their first match, followed by a 4-0 thrashing of Myanmar in their second match. However, in the third match against Bangladesh, the national soccer team drew 0-0. With this, many fans began to complain that there were not many chances left for the weaker teams that the national soccer team faced.
The Chinese men's soccer team played three matches in Group A. The Chinese men's soccer team won two and drew one and accumulated seven points, advancing to the knockout stage with the first place in the group. As fans who watched the live broadcast know, Jurjevic, Jankovic's assistant coach, led the team to this Hangzhou Asian Games. Many fans praised Yang Kovic for his coaching ability, beating India 5-1 and Myanmar 4-0 to the delight of many fans. The Chinese men's soccer team made an early exit in two rounds of the tournament. The third match against Bangladesh head coach Djurdjevic didn't send absolute main force.
Fans who watched the broadcast know that head coach Djurdjevic made a massive rotation of the starting lineup. On the other hand, it was clear that the players were not ready and the pitch was not fluid. On the other hand, they were dominated by Bangladesh, who are ranked 189th in the world, and the goal of the national team was attacked frantically by their opponents. Fortunately, Bangladesh did not have a strong ability to capitalize on their chances, otherwise, the national football team did not rule out the possibility of losing the game. Although the two teams exchanged words with each other in the half time, the performance of the home side was not satisfactory.
In the second half, head coach Djurdjevic replaced Tan Long and other starters and the offense went much smoother than the first half. Bangladesh head coach also made timely adjustments and strengthened the defense. The national soccer team attacked the opponent's goal several times. Unfortunately, they did not succeed in breaking the goal. Finally, the national soccer team drew 0-0 with Bangladesh. The Chinese men's soccer team beat Bangladesh for the first time in a match, which caused many fans to boo. The Chinese men's soccer team really has very few underdogs. Many fans complained about FIFA's 8.5 World Cup places in Asia.
On the other hand, our neighbors South Korea dominated their third match against Bahrain. They ended the group stage with a 3-0 win over Bahrain and advanced to the knockout stage with all 3 wins. They scored 16 goals and conceded 0 in the mini-soccer tournament, and Korea wasn't all about the starters. Look at our other neighboring team, Japan. It's no exaggeration to say that Japan doesn't like Asian soccer tournaments right now. Instead of sending its starters to the Asian Games, which is Asia's top event, Japan reportedly sent its full bench. Some fans complained that the Hangzhou Asian Games were disrespectful.
Competitive sports dishes are the original sin, Japan men's soccer warm-up match can beat Germany 4-1, on the contrary, the national soccer warm-up match drew Malaysia 1-1 and lost to Syria 0-1, does such soccer deserve respect? If the national soccer team is strong enough, I'm sure the opponent will also send absolutely strong players, can only blame the men's soccer team, even some fans ridicule others send substitutes on the field, we may not be able to beat them, how to talk about other people's disrespect.
Previously, the Chinese men's football team lost to Vietnam in the World Qualifier and Fan Zhiyi criticized it. Now, at the Asian Games, Vietnam was crushed against Saudi Arabia and ended up losing 1-3. Saudi Arabia made it to the knockout rounds and the Chinese men's soccer team will also face teams like South Korea, Japan and Saudi Arabia. This is a lot of pressure on the Chinese men's soccer team. Although we have veteran players like Tan Long, the final result may not be able to win the championship. After all, our overall strength is not as good as our opponents
