On the night of April 17, Beijing time, the Asian Futsal Championship officially kicked off. China's soccer team encountered a strong opponent in its first match, which was none other than the host team Thailand. Surprisingly, the Chinese team lost 1-3. Fan Zhiyi's bold words are still ringing in our ears: "The face of Chinese soccer, I no longer want to lose!" Losing to Thailand today, Vietnam tomorrow, and Myanmar the day after, it seems that there is no more opponent to lose. However, the coincidence of fate makes the Chinese team in this Asian Cup really with these three teams in the same group, the next challenge is heavy.
In the five-a-side Asian Cup qualifiers, our team had a meeting with Thailand, which resulted in a 1-5 loss. Fortunately, fellow group rival Turkmenistan retired, and this loss did not affect our team's advancement. Facing the challenge of Hong Kong, China, our team won 6-0 in the first round, and then eliminated their opponent 5-2 in the second round to advance. However, the draw for the group stage once again placed our team in the same group as Thailand, with Vietnam and Myanmar also in the same group. Fan Zhiyi's prediction that "ghosts don't come back" seems to be coming true. Based on our performance in the Futsal qualifiers, the future looks bright.
In the first match, our team faced the hosts, Thailand, but suffered an opening blackout. From the 12th to the 16th minute of the match, the opponents scored three goals in just four minutes. Our team scored a goal in the second period of the game (41st minute) to save face, but still lost 1-3. The game was broadcast live, but our team's performance was dismal. Fans watched the game with great enthusiasm, but witnessed a team that was basically unable to organize an effective attack, and spent the entire game running around in the backfield. Winning the game with such a performance was a pipe dream!
In the other match, Vietnam drew 1-1 with Myanmar. On April 19 at 15:00 BST, our team will face Vietnam in the second round of the group stage and Myanmar in the last opponent. Based on this schedule, Fan Zhiyi's boasts seem to be coming true and the face of our soccer team seems to be expected to be saved. I am worried that our team will lose to various strong teams from Southeast Asia. I hope all the Futsal internationals will give their best.
It is embarrassing that our men's five-a-side soccer team is doing so poorly. From the 11 men's soccer players to the 11 women's soccer players to the five men's soccer players, none of these players have performed as well as one of them. At present, the only light left in our soccer is the blind soccer team. With such sadness, is there any salvation for our country's soccer? The answer is obvious, our soccer has completely collapsed and there is no cure!
At present, the CFA is still thinking about how to solve the problem of corruption. Since experiencing a wave of anti-corruption crackdowns in 2009, 2024 ushers in a second wave of anti-corruption in China's soccer. Under the existing FA system, can these plans work? Obviously, this is only a temporary solution and not a long-term one. There is likely to be a third wave of anti-corruption action in the future. Under the erosion of this group of assholes, our country's soccer can not see any hope of rising, and will only gradually widen the gap with other Asian countries.
