In the fierce competition in Group C of the Asian round of 36 of the World Preliminaries, the Chinese men's football team successfully counterattacked and reversed Thailand 1-2, laying a solid foundation for advancing to the round of 18. This victory not only boosted the morale of the national football team, but also brought surprises and expectations to the fans.
The national football team has failed to enter the World Cup stage for a long time, and has been absent for 5 consecutive years, which has disappointed fans. However, in the round of 36 of the Asian zone of this World Preliminary Championship, they showed unusual resilience and fighting spirit. In the first round, they won away to Thailand, and although they lost at home to the mighty South Korea in the second round, they still temporarily ranked third in the group by virtue of goal difference.
As a first-class team in Asian football, the South Korean team has performed eye-catching recently. After the new coach Klinsmann took office, he led the team to five consecutive victories in one fell swoop, and the overall score of 19-0 showed their strong strength. South Korea, with a number of stars playing in the top five leagues, faced opponents outside of Asian football, and easily completed the dimensionality reduction blow, allowing them to secure the top spot in the group stage and advance to the round of 18 is almost a certainty.
The match against Thailand is considered a crucial battle to determine the second place in the group. In the first round of away games, the national football team showed a strong counterattack ability after falling behind 0-1. At the critical moment, the team lifted their spirits and scored two goals in a row to finally reverse Thailand 2-1 and achieve a hard-won victory.
With the excellent performance of the South Korean team, some ** began to speculate whether they would deliberately release water to allow Thailand, the main rival of the national football team, to get three points. South Korea have had a strong run in the past friendlies and qualifiers, winning five in a row, which has caused concern on the national football side. Especially in South Korea's away match against the national football team, the audience booed the South Korean national anthem, which may cause dissatisfaction among South Korean players, so the possibility of deliberately releasing water to Thailand cannot be ruled out.
Although the morale of the national football team was boosted after the victory over Thailand in the first round, the future journey is full of uncertainty. The next two rounds of the national football team will play against Singapore and South Korea respectively, and South Korea has a clear advantage against the national football team and Singapore, and a full 12 points can almost guarantee qualification. However, considering whether South Korea will deliberately release water against the national football team, the national football team still needs to be highly vigilant.
The counterattack of the national football team not only inspired the fighting spirit of the players on the field, but also aroused the enthusiastic response of the fans. In the first round of the counterattack against Thailand, the shouts and cheers of the fans resounded in the sky, showing the enthusiasm and support of Chinese football fans. Fans have expressed their belief that the national football team can continue to counterattack in the next games and go further to the stage.
Although the road to the national football team's counterattack was full of ups and downs, the victory in the first round against Thailand opened the door to their dream of the round of 18. In the face of future challenges, the national football team needs to maintain a stable state, guard against South Korea's possible deliberate release, and work together towards the goal of advancing to the round of 18. Fans will also continue to shout passionately and cheer for the national football team's counterattack. At this exciting moment, the national football team and fans are looking forward to more glorious moments.
