You have broken my heart, but always in my heart of the undying first love. 02 World Cup, you as slipped into the abyss, from then on, my emotional world has been more a complex entanglement. Although before that, you have had the plague of fear of Korea, there have been Irbid and Jinzhou defeat, and even the 96 years of the Asian Cup group stage was kneeling out of the line, but compared to 02 years after the World Cup, at least you do not have to fear Jordan, Syria, Thailand, such as rivals. At that time, you seemed to be able to trample these opponents under your feet, and I, too, had been proud of you.
However, playing in the 02 World Cup did not seem to me to bring substantial changes, in addition to let the income of soccer players have increased, and then no other active significance. It was at that moment that various interest groups began to covet the fat meat of the national soccer team, causing it to fall into chaos. Overall, the blow to the national soccer team during that period was devastating, and until now, the national soccer team has not yet come out completely from the influence of that time.
Nonetheless, there have been several great matches that the national soccer team has played over the past decade or so that are unforgettable. Next, let's look back at the moments of joy brought to us by the national soccer team in those years.
