Coaching change sparks debate as national soccer team prepares for Asian Cup
Our national soccer team is about to start its training mode and prepare for the upcoming Asian Cup group stage. At the same time, Qatar's rivals in the same group have had a coaching change, and on December 7, Soccer Daily wrote that the change seems to be good news for our national team. However, not all rational fans agree with this view. Can someone else's misfortune really be turned into their own good fortune? The answer is not absolute. The Asian Cup is important, but compared to the preliminaries, it is obviously less important. If you don't improve your own strength, even if you get out of the group, what's the point?
Analogously, if you have been doing poorly in your class and always ranked second to last, is this a "good thing" for you? Suddenly, one day, the person who was at the bottom of the class can't take the exam because of an unexpected situation, is this a "good thing" for you? On the other hand, if you are always at the bottom of the class and the second-to-last student suffers the same situation, your positions may be reversed for a short period of time. But is this really a "good thing"? Not really. Just as the iron is still hard, the key is to rely on your own efforts.
