The latest FIFA rankings have made the hearts ache for many fans like me for hardcore supportersThe national football team fell to 88th in the worldThe Asian rankings also slipped to 13th。Faced with such an outcome, I can only say that it is not surprising. After all, in the Asian Cup that just ended, our performance could be described as terrible: two draws, one defeat and the group stage was over. Seeing the struggle of the national football team on the field, every fan's heart is bleeding.
In retrospect, we were afraid of Asian powerhouses such as Japan, South Korea and Iran. But now,The national football team has been reduced to a third-rate team in AsiaSuch a reality is difficult to accept. If you think about it, we have more and more opponents, and we seem to be standing still, or even going backwards.
The landscape of world football has not changed, and the top 10 teams are still familiar names. And we seem to see less and less hope. The most pressing issue is the change of manager. Jankovic's departure has become a suspense, and the future of the national football team needs a leader who can lead the team out of the predicament.
Next month, the national football team will face Singapore in the two-legged Asian World Qualifiers, which was supposed to be an opportunity, but given the current morale and form of the team, even against lower-ranked opponents, there is no certainty of victory. The expansion of the 2026 World Cup was supposed to be an opportunity, but for today's national football team, this opportunity seems to be out of reach.
As a fan, I always believe that football is round and anything is possible. But what the national football team needs now is not just slogans and encouragement, but real change. We need to fundamentally rethink and restructure, you shouldn't always think about shortcuts to achieve your dreams. The problems of the national football team will not be solved overnight, but at least we must start to take steps to change.
At this critical moment, the hearts of every fan are with the national football team. What we want to see is not just short-term victory, but long-term, sustainable development and progress. Only in this way can we truly get out of the trough and find our place in Asian and world football again. Every step forward of the national football team has the support and expectation of our fans, and no matter how bumpy the road ahead is, we will stand firmly on your side.
