Today, the international soccer world is changing, China's men's soccer team in the latest national team rankings, with 1304.02 points slipped to 78th in the world, the Asian rankings are out of the top ten, leaving only 11th. This achievement, a record low in four years, is enough to make people think deeply. In the face of such a ranking, China's men's soccer team only have to know the shame and then courage, in order to win the respect of the world.
Let's take a look at what Asian teams are ahead of our men's soccer team: Iran, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iraq, Oman and Uzbekistan. Facing these strong opponents, our men's soccer team's chances of winning don't seem to be high. In the past 12 rounds of the World Qualifier, China's men's soccer team played against Japan, Australia, Saudi Arabia and Oman, and surprisingly, they only achieved 3 points, which is a worrying result.
Unfortunately, our men's soccer team is not only unable to beat these top-ranked teams, but also often performs weakly even against weaker teams below them. For example, our men's soccer team lost 1:3 against the 97th-ranked Vietnam, and if not for Wu Lei's goal in extra time, our men's soccer team might have suffered an embarrassing draw.
This year's World Cup in Qatar, a total of six AFC teams won the ticket, creating history. The next World Cup, AFC's promotion quota will be expanded to 8.5 seats, with the current ranking of our men's soccer team, in order to once again dream of the World Cup seems to be more and more difficult. Looking back to the first time our men's soccer team stood on the stage of the World Cup, but also traced back to the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan. Now, 20 years later, our men's soccer team and the distance of the World Cup seems to be getting farther and farther away, although the number of participating teams will increase from 32 to 48.
What is the reason why our men's soccer team has not been able to enter the World Cup for a long time, and the overall level and clinical performance have been declining year by year? Lack of technology is the root cause, a simple stop can be stopped 5 meters away, such a "brown" in the national team is common, reflecting the weak foundation of China's soccer. Over the years, the youth training system remains in the primary stage of the master with the apprentice, the master of the year the wrong direction, so that the apprentice is difficult to surpass.
Mr. Lang Xiaonong, former director of the league department of the Chinese Football Association (CFA) and former general manager of the Chinese Super League (CSL), has called for the league to be the basis of the game, because it is in the league that the national team players are selected, trained and grown up. However, it is regrettable that the league always gives way to the national team whenever a big game is coming, and the low level of the league also limits the further improvement of the players' level.
Strength is not good, China's men's soccer should have a breakthrough in the spiritual level, but in recent years, with the capital investment to increase the lucrative income brought about by the gradual weakening of the willpower of some players, lost the spirit of enterprise, the critical moment often fall off the chain. This is the main reason why fans are angry. If these problems can not be fundamentally solved, China's men's soccer team in the future competition is still difficult to make a difference!
