World Cup
On the journey to the qualifying round, the national soccer team is once again facing a "desperate situation". After seven rounds, one win, two draws, four losses, 5 points, minus 6 goal difference, which indicates that

There is only a theoretical possibility of an exit, and in layman's terms: there seems to be no way to reverse the fate of the exit.
Looking back at last year, when
Li Tie (1977-), footballer
When he handed over the whip, Li Xiaopeng took over the undoubtedly a mess. Facing the group's top seed Saudi Arabia, the national football team has no power to fight back, and can only look to the group's second and third place Japan and Australia. As the new head coach, Li Xiaopeng said in the pre-match press conference: for the Chinese team, there is still a silver lining, against the Japanese team, tactics will be developed around the preservation of this silver lining.
However, in

In the match against Japan, Australia, who played first, swept Vietnam 4-0, taking all three points and collecting four clean sheets, while China was unable to fight for its breath and eventually lost 0-2 to Japan.
So far, the national soccer team has only accumulated five points after seven rounds of fighting, and the second-ranked Japanese team is 10 points away. This means that with only three rounds left, the Chinese team has no hope of being among the top two in Group B, and also lost the direct promotion to 2022 Qatar.

A chance for the final round.

They are 9 points behind third-place Australia. This means that the final three rounds, the Chinese team not only to win all 9 points, but also need to hope that the Australian team to lose the remaining three matches, and also to make up for the gap of 15 goal difference between the two teams, but also to "pray" 7 points, ranked fourth in the group of Oman's final points not more than 14 points. Such a "miracle" is obviously difficult to happen. In fact, the fate of the national football team has long been out of their own hands, the earliest will be on the first day of the year "confirmed" out of the game, this is not a kind of additional obstacles?
