On a night in the UAE, the Chinese men's soccer team once again leaned on the

's precision playmaking and penalty shootout, along with a brilliantly orchestrated goal, beat the Philippines 2-0 and took another solid step towards their journey to the Round of 12! Soccer matches are never completely satisfying, but last night's 2-0, at least, made

A long sigh of relief that this effort did not "hurt" the Chinese team!
(1) Success in breaking the player's psyche!
Frankly.

The performance in the first half was still a cause for concern, and understandably there was a lot of discontent. The author who watched the game on the spot was sweating, I don't know whether it was due to the heat or nervousness. But anyone can feel that in this situation, coming to the UAE to follow the

Just hope they win and get out of the lineup.
Someone once asked me, "What if it ends in a tie?" Without hesitation, I replied, "There are no ifs!" Because I always believe that
national soccer team
Was able to win. The uneasiness in the first half was mainly due to too much nervousness and the players didn't play at their full level. Although the Philippine team created a few chances, it was not because the other team was stronger, but because we didn't play well. That's the way soccer is, if you don't play well and the other team plays well, then naturally the other team looks better.
Fortunately, China made adjustments at halftime and showed real strength in the second half. At the crucial moment, it was again

He stepped up to win the penalty kick for China and scored the goal himself. 1-0 made the players' mindset adjusted, and because the tension disappeared, Tang Miao and Wu Xinghan, who had a poor performance in the first half, had an excellent side coordination, and Wu Xinghan scored the second goal. After that, the game was completely in the rhythm of the Chinese team.

Timely tactical adjustments were made to take full possession of the ball and slow it down to earn the three points, 2-0.
These three points are in a way the result of a breakthrough for the players, a psychological breakthrough from Suzhou to the United Arab Emirates. After the first match with Guam in Suzhou, when everyone was immersed in joy, the news of moving to the UAE suddenly came out, and it is nonsense to say that "the national team will not be affected". This kind of influence can not be completely eliminated through ideological work and a few meetings, but need the team to continue to win in the game, in order to really get out of the psychological haze! Taking down the Philippines and getting the 3 points needed to get out of the lineup is the best "medicine" for the players to get out of this haze.
Therefore, after winning this victory, the national team has become more mature psychologically, which is a training and will be of great help, both for the development and construction of this Top 40 group stage and the future Top 12 and even longer term.
I admit, the Chinese team just won a Philippine team, and the Philippine team is at most a third-rate team in Asia, but for the current Chinese men's soccer team, regardless of the strength of the opponent, need to be a game to "chew down". Can not take this game, it is impossible to have the opportunity to play with South Korea, Japan, Iran, Australia, Saudi Arabia and other first-class teams. The Chinese men's soccer team needs to be first "on the table", to participate in the 12 strong, "on the table", only to know "dishes" to do how! Winning against the Philippines is certainly a great enhancement of the Chinese team's chances of being "on the table"!
② 3 points makes what was once given worthwhile!
From a personal point of view, one would certainly want to make it "worthwhile" to go on such an expedition in the present particular circumstances. Therefore, "selfishly", I would like to urgently

was able to win the game. Now, since the race was won, it makes

The chances and hopes of finishing second in the group with the best five results, and thus entering the Round of 12, were greatly increased. Therefore, naturally feel "worth it". Moreover, from the perspective of the long-term development of the Chinese men's soccer team, the current situation, the need for

Into the ranks of the 12 strong, even if the Chinese men's soccer team "lingering", is still "alive"! Only continue to "alive", there can be the future and tomorrow.
From another point of view, from Suzhou to the United Arab Emirates, during the experience of too many stories and twists and turns, and, during this period, both the CFA delegation and the Chinese men's football delegation, in such an urgent and short-lived situation to pay too much, if because of the results are not satisfactory, China's men's football team will become a "target", all parties will be "cannon fodder" again. If the results are not satisfactory, the Chinese men's soccer team will become a "target" again, and all parties will become "cannon fodder" again. The Chinese men's soccer team has gone through too much. But this time, if they can get a satisfactory result, of course, it will change many people's inherent views and even prejudice. Therefore, from the perspective of a bystander and a witness, I also hope that
national soccer team
Play this crucial game well.
Athletic sports and competitive soccer have always been about "results". This is like the Chinese women's volleyball team has always been a hero in the hearts of the people of the country, and even "God", but in the inconsequential world league "three consecutive losses", the women's volleyball team seems to become "ghosts! ", public opinion and fans also began to scold all over the place, the leaders are even more unable to sit down. This is not exactly a reflection of the Chinese men's soccer team? Therefore, despite the stumbles, but at least the results are all people expect to see the results, so it also has a special meaning and value.
For the CFA, in the face of such an unexpected turn of events, completing all the work in such a short period of time, despite the fact that there are still flaws during the period, but ultimately ensure that the Chinese men's football team can win the key games, towards the set goal, which is in fact enough! The past efforts and hard work, in fact, will be worth it, the reason is so simple. Because engaged in this profession, who does not hope that the profession they are engaged in can be good?
So, at this moment, I would like to say thank you most of all
national soccer team
Because of your success last night, the Chinese men's soccer team is still "alive"!
