Let's talk for the first time todayWorld Preliminaries: Chinese National Football Team VS Bahrain Team!
I never felt that there was a problem with the attitude of the national football team, I think they worked very hard and worked very hard every game.
Although the current record is not good, is there a possibility:The national football team actually played very well, but the opponent was too strong?
Note:The lottery we drew was actually a very poor lottery, a nightmare level of difficulty.
Japan is the first in Asia, and it is recognized that it hurts to draw Japan from the first team.
Australia, on the other hand, is the first team in Pot 2.And the style is very restrained to us, and we can't draw Qatar, Iraq, these weaker second-tier teams, but draw it? Bad luck too.
Saudi Arabia is the top team in Pot 3, the whole country is crazy about throwing money and ambitious, and even beat Argentina in the last World Cup.
Bahrain has made great progress in recent years.Just won the Gulf Cup in January this year, it doesn't look very famous, but it's actually stronger than a fourth-tier team like Oman.
Even the most vegetable Indonesia, after cheating crazy naturalized players,The lineup configuration has surpassed Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and is at the same level as Iran and Australia, it's just that the run-in is not good for the time being.
Being assigned to this kind of hellish group and not being able to get out of the line may be reasonable, but it is strange to get out of the line.
Anyway, at least for me personally, I don't dare to underestimate any opponent,Including today's Bahrain, it may be strong.
In this tournament in Bahrain, many of the balls were actually not badly played on the field, but they did not play well in the final kick.
For example, in the last game against Saudi Arabia, although Saudi Arabia had the last laugh,But Bahrain got three great chances, which is actually similar to Saudi Arabia.
They have a lot of forward awareness, good strength, and a very good tacit understanding.
For example, center forward Abdul-Jabbar performed a wonderful pass without looking at the ball, but it was a pity that winger Mahon hit the post and missed a great opportunity.
Here are three points:
First, Bahraini players are easily underestimated.
Because of the more than 20 people in their team, only 3 of them play in foreign countries.Two of them are still in other countries in the Middle East, and only one 16-year-old is in La Liga.
The exposure of the Bahrain league is so low that it's not easy to find some video. It is difficult for the outside world to find out their strength, so it is easy to underestimate them, and it is not easy to deploy tactics for their weaknesses.
Second, the Bahraini gang has a lot of experience in international competitions, and they have been working together for a longer time.
10 of their team played more than 1,000 minutes in the World Preliminary Tournament, while the national football team only had 5.
Their entire team has played a total of 353 World Preliminary Matches, while the national football team has 195 games, which is almost twice as many as the national football team.
Because their starting lineup is relatively fixed, over the years, they have formed a very good tacit understanding, and there are a lot of subconscious cooperation, which is easy for them to play at a super level.
Third, their ability to create opportunities is not bad, but their ability to grasp them is relatively poor.
Here's a point:In their last game, their ace star Ali Madan was suspended.
Ali Madan is the only player in Bahrain to be worth more than one million, and is a national hero who won this year's Gulf Cup.
He played in second pot and Iraq scored twice, showing clever stopping skills, running awareness and shooting skills.
If he had been in the last game, Bahrain probably wouldn't have kept a clean sheet.
Unfortunately, he can come back today and after a break, he is still 100 per cent fit, so it may not be easy to deal with.
It's always easy to underestimate the opponents of the national team, and the classic example is the 2002 World Cup.
At that time, it was in a group with Brazil, Turkey, and Costa Rica, and everyone hoped that the national football team couldScore a goal, score a point, win a game.
It is to enter Brazil, then draw with Turkey, and beat Costa Rica, the most rookie country.
This is simply a fantasy, and novels don't dare to make it up like that.
What was the lineup in Brazil back then? It's almost the strongest lineup in history!
The two strikers are Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Carlos on the left, Cafu and Paulista on the right, and Roque and Lucio in the center...... Why can you get into someone else?In that year's final, even the German tank was not capable of scoring a Brazilian goal.
Turkey is also the pinnacle of history, that year it won the third place in the world, the group stage and the semi-finals met Brazil, which made Brazil very uncomfortable, and it was just a regrettable small loss, if Brazil was weaker that year, who knows what honor Turkey will get?
As for Costa Rica, which seems to be weak, it is also the pinnacle version of history, a large group of five major league stars, and the strength is considered strong in the world.
Of course, we all know by now that these teams were strong back then.
But at the time, how many people scolded Milou for being a liar?
Playing Bahrain today, it seems that it is not famous and not strong? But Xiaojiu didn't dare to underestimate them, and was even worried that they would get a point or even three points.
Well, for today's other competitions, Xiaojiu will still send you text opinions in the evening. If there is anything unclear, you can ask me, "Watch the ball and see clearly", we will see you soon!
If you like it, move your fingers, follow and like!
