In this Asian Cup, the national football team has made us experience heartache again and again, and their performance can be said to be the worst in the past 48 years, without a single victory, not even a single goal was achieved, and they were directly out of the group stage. Such a result is undoubtedly a disappointment for all fans who support the national football team. But football, as a team sport, is a common thing, the key is what we can learn from it, how to find the motivation to move forward in failure.
Despite the chilling match of the national football team, the Asian Cup game still continued to be exciting. We saw strong performances from Qatar and Tajikistan, who not only emerged from their group, but are also expected to go further in the upcoming matches. It's a reminder that the world of football is always full of possibilities and that every game is an opportunity to start over.
In the 1 8 and 1 4 finals in which the national football team was absent, there was a Chinese element that could not be ignored - that is, our Chinese Super League referees Ma Ning and Fu Ming. Their appearance in the 1 4 finals of the Asian Cup not only showed the strength of Chinese referees, but also allowed the world to see another angle of Chinese football. Although they are often questioned at home and even blamed by black whistles, their performance on the international stage is undoubtedly the best response to themselves. Ma Ning, in particular, has a proven track record of his ability and the recognition of him in international football.
We should be proud of Ma Ning and Fu Ming, their performance in international competitions is a banner of Chinese football. Even though the national football team was out early, the excellent enforcement of the Chinese referees gave us a reason to continue to pay attention to the Asian Cup. This is also the best response to those who doubt the ability of Chinese referees. I believe that through such international competition experience, they will be able to blow a more fair and professional whistle when they return to the domestic arena.
On the football field, winning and losing are the norm, but every participation is an opportunity for self-challenge and transcendence. The defeat of the national football team is temporary, but the performance of Chinese referees on the international stage is a long-term pride. We hope that the national football team can learn from this failure, and at the same time, we also hope that Chinese referees can continue to shine in international competitions and let the world see the other side of Chinese football. Both players and referees are an indispensable part of Chinese football, and we should give them more understanding and support.
