Before the match against Qatar, the atmosphere of the Chinese team was so relaxed, and the public opinion environment throughout the country was rarely very relaxed to the national football team.

This makes some people a little uncomfortable.

They are worried that it is not good to relax so much, which will lead to the team losing.

But this kind of worry will soon be laughed at by others: "So what if we lose at home? Can the Chinese team still lose 0:11 at home? I won't say anything else. If the Chinese team really loses so much, I'll just live streaming and eat shit!"

Many people don’t believe that the Chinese team can lose so much.

Therefore, it is basically a foregone conclusion that the Chinese team advances to the top 12.

Many people think that if you really lose to Qatar in the end, you will lose if you lose. It's no big deal.

Who wants to watch the top 40 now?

We want the top 12 games!

Unfortunately, the first game of the Top 12 is probably going to be in September this year, and there are still six months left in between.

Before the game, Qatar head coach Carenho raved Gao Zheng and the Chinese team. Chinese media and the Internet also reported and discussed the matter extensively, and everyone was very happy.

After all, I praise myself for being a bit suspicious of selling melons, but it feels great to praise me. What does this mean?

It fully shows that our opponents were defeated by us!

Qatar took the initiative to release goodwill, and Chinese media and fans were not stingy with their kindness. They sent their blessings to Qatar, hoping to advance to the top 12 together.

I have to say that Chinese fans are really kind.

When they sent their blessings to their opponents, they completely forgot the grudges that lasted forty years between Chinese football and Qatar...

In the 1989 World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team encountered a "black three minutes" in Qatar. With a 1:0 lead, Qatar scored three goals in three minutes, ending the World Cup qualifiers with a score of 1:2.

In the top ten matches in 1997, the Chinese team was scored three goals by Qatar at home and finally missed the French World Cup with a score of 2:3.

In the 2008 World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team tied with Qatar 0:0 away, and lost to Qatar 0:1 when they returned to home, and did not even make the top ten games.

In the 2011 Asian Cup group stage, the Chinese team was defeated 0:2 by Qatar and missed the knockout stage. Gao Hongbo was also defeated by the Football Association after the World Cup qualifiers began because of this result.

Unlike other opponents of the Chinese team, Qatar and the Chinese team have had many matches, only one of which is a warm-up match, and all other matches are formal matches. The memory of losing to Qatar is particularly painful.

Before the game started, Qatar fans waved outside the stadium with the Chinese flag and the Qatar flag, which attracted the attention of the media and many Chinese fans. Passionate Chinese fans ran up to hug him and waved the national flags of the two countries with him. Media reporters pointed their long guns and short cannons at them and kept pressing the shutter.

This scene is really the best portrayal of "friendship first and game second", and is a proof that the victory or defeat of football cannot surpass human emotions.

Because of football, people of different languages ​​and different races can hug each other with a smile, which makes everyone who sees this scene smile involuntarily.

Football is so beautiful!

In this game, Perrin made some adjustments to the starting lineup and replaced a large number of substitutes. Obviously, he has begun to prepare for the top 12 games, and needs to inspect more players for the top 12 games and run-in the team.

Although there have been rumors outside that the Football Association may replace Perrin after entering the top 12, Perrin still insists on doing his job well and does not care about rumors outside.

Of course, no matter how he adjusts the starting lineup, Gao Zheng is still on the starting roster.

After all, he can't do too much. Even if the Chinese team loses, he can't lose too easily. After all, this is at his home court. Where does this put the face of Chinese football?

And Gao Zheng is the one who maintains the storefront.

Door God.

After the game started, the Chinese team was indeed a little careless. Even the substitute players might be in the top 12 games, rather than the last round of 40 games.

They have never participated in the Top 12 tournament, and are full of longing for this competition, so they are also full of longing for the World Cup after the Top 12 tournament.

After all, being able to participate in the World Cup is the highest pursuit of every Chinese player.

In addition, some people say that the event that represents the highest level of Asian football is not actually the Asian Cup. After the Asian Cup's repeated expansion, too many bottom teams have mixed in.

But after cruel elimination, the Top 12 is the highest level of Asian football. Which team can participate in the Top 12 is not a strong team in Asia?

Saudi Arabia, Australia, Iran, Japan, South Korea, Uzbekistan... These are all well-known names in Asian football.

What exactly does the top 12 matches look like?

Chinese players are very excited about this.

Chinese players are absent-minded, while Qatar is proactive and plays very hard. They hope to score early and lay a solid victory.

Even if it was just a 1:0 game in the end, they were satisfied because this score was enough for them to advance to the top 12.

Chinese fans and commentators also saw this positive mentality in Qatar.

But the fans don’t care much. They just come to celebrate the Chinese team’s advance to the top 12 just like the festival. Winning and losing doesn’t matter, of course, it’s okay, it doesn’t matter if you lose the ball. You won’t be scolded like before.

Commentator He Ping was also very relaxed, but he still had to say something nice to the point of not being picked up: "Although we have already obtained the top 12 qualifications in advance, I still hope that the players can take this game seriously. After all, this is also a hard-won warm-up match for the top 12..."

He still accidentally expressed his true thoughts.

Yes, for Qatar, it is a life-and-death battle, but for the Chinese team, it is actually a warm-up match to prepare for the top 12 matches.

This warm-up match has a very high value - where do you go to find such a warm-up match opponent who is willing to fight with you?

Daniel Carenho stood on the sidelines and watched nervously at the field.

Although the last round of the top 40s was held on March 29th, because the time between the two places was similar, the kick-off time was different. He could not pay attention to other games and adjust his tactics while adjusting his own tactics. He could only try to do his own thing first.

Win the game and keep your destiny firmly in your own hands.

Seeing the Chinese players walking on the court, he clenched his fists secretly.

If we keep playing like this, we have a chance!

Then he felt a little regretful - why can't these Chinese players play like this in Qatar's home game against the Chinese team?

If they want to play like this, we will win long ago. Do you still need to come here to see the Chinese people’s faces?

Carenho was worried about gains and losses.

The game continues, and Qatar has created several opportunities, and it seems that the goal is getting closer and closer.

Twenty-five minutes passed in the first half.

At this moment, the Chinese team fought back.

Carenho did not take this counterattack seriously. He was more concerned about how his team would turn from defense to offense next, how to improve the efficiency and success rate of offense and defense conversion, and which side of the Chinese team's defense line should be played when counterattacking...

At this time, the football was passed directly from the backcourt to Gao Zheng's feet in the frontcourt.

After Gao Zheng raised his foot and removed the flying football, he looked up at the Qatar goal 35 meters away, and then suddenly swung his foot and shot from a long time!

The football was kicked towards the goal, and then flew up high and then fell sharply.

The Qatar goalkeeper didn't expect Gao Zheng to shoot directly from such a distance, and he was not focused enough.

When he saw the football flew over, it was too late for him to pounce again.

Although he made a save move, he did not encounter any football at all. In fact, his save move is more symbolic than practical meaning - at least it shows that he is not doing nothing...
Chapter completed!
