The fears of Chinese fans are normal and well-founded.

The situation of the Chinese team is really bad right now.

Although they have a superstar like Gao Zheng who can dominate in European football, it is difficult to stand alone, and it is really difficult to find trouble at the home stadium of Qatar with Gao Zheng alone.

Finally, in the 22nd minute, Qatari player Sebastian slashed and shot on the penalty line, which was blocked by the Chinese defender with his body.

Zhen Long returned to the defense and wanted to stop the ball, but touched the ball with his hand. The referee blew a free kick at a 45-degree angle in front.

After this free kick was kicked out, Ji Xiang tried to clear the ball with a header in the penalty area, but accidentally turned the clearance into a backlash.

So the football was rubbed behind him, and the Qatari player Budiaf who was ambushed behind him just arrived and rushed to the top with a header!

Because the distance was too close and it happened very suddenly, although the goalkeeper of the Chinese team Wang Xiaolei made a save, it was too late.

The ball scurried into the bottom right corner of the goal.

"Ahh!!h He Ping, the narrator in the studio, yelled, looking disappointed and painful.

Although everyone knows that the Chinese team continues to play like this, the scene is so passive, and it is a matter of time before the ball is lost, but when the ball really happens, they are still very uncomfortable, and the energy in their hearts seems to be all washed out at once, leaving only an empty shell, like a walking corpse.

Deafening cheers rang out throughout the Hamad Stadium, and local music and shouts were playing on the live radio, as if they were some kind of prayer.

The white-robed Qatari fans in the stands waved their flags and cheered on their teams.

And in the upper echelons of the stands, the few Chinese fans looked very painful.

The five-star red flag in their hands also drooped, as if they had lost all their vitality.

Although the Chinese team lost to Qatar away from home, it does not mean the end of the world, after all, they can return to their home stadium and beat Qatar again, so that the two sides will draw.

But in the case of a tie, it depends on the goal difference of both sides.

And in this regard, Qatar clearly has a great advantage. They have scored fifteen clean sheets against Bhutan alone.

Now except for Hong Kong, which has four games, the other four teams have played three games, and another round has a bye.

Qatar has a goal difference of seventeen, while China has only twelve.

The difference in goal difference is five, and the West Asian team is the most good at calculating the goal difference, in the 2006 German World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team did not count the other people in this math problem, and was finally eliminated.

When the time comes, when it is really time to compete for goal difference, the devil knows what the West Asians will do to ensure that it will be done seamlessly at that time, so that the Chinese team will have nowhere to find someone to avenge their grievances.

Therefore, if they can't beat Qatar away from home, or draw Qatar, the Chinese team has little hope of winning the first place in this group.

After the Chinese team conceded the goal, the TV camera was given to Perran, and this shot was meaningful.

Perrin was loved by Chinese fans and sought after by the media at the Asian Cup at the beginning of this year, leading the team to the third place in the Asian Cup, which is already the best result of the Chinese team in this competition since the 2004 Asian Cup.

It stands to reason that his position should be solid, at least after the Asian Cup.

But with the start of the top 40 matches, the attitude of domestic public opinion towards Perrin is also changing.

Playing Bhutan, they didn't even have a double-digit win on the road, Hong Kong won only one goal on their home field, and only four goals at home against the Maldives.

Although they won all three games, they were not satisfied, after all, these three teams are recognized as weak teams, and the goal of the Chinese team was not to beat them, but to get as many clean sheets as possible on them.

The result?

Qatar and Bhutan had a goal difference in one match that exceeded the goal difference of China in all three games combined.

What's going on?

If you miss the top 12 for this reason, wouldn't you be unjustly killed?

Obviously performed well in the Asian Cup, but the World Cup qualifiers could not continue the excellent performance in the Asian Cup, so what is the point of the Asian Cup no matter how good the performance is? You must know that in the eyes of many Chinese, the results of the World Cup qualifiers are much more important than the results of the Asian Cup.

When the results are not satisfactory, Perrin's other shortcomings are also highlighted and become serious problems.

For example, Perrin is not good at managing the locker room, and it is said that the relationship with several domestic veterans has not been good. Especially with Zheng Zhi.

And in the top 40, there were rumors that he had a bad relationship with Gao Lin.

In addition, his frequent experimentation with various new lineups also made media fans complain, feeling that Perrin did not understand the situation. The World Cup qualifiers are not a place for him to train, here to play a big move, what if the Chinese team dies?

There are already rumors that even if Perrin leads the team to the top 12, the Chinese Football Association may consider changing the coach, because they feel that the French may not be able to continue to lead the Chinese team to the top 12.

The last time the Chinese team participated in the last stage of the Asian qualifiers was in 2001, and now none of the players in this group have participated in the top 10 matches, and now the players are all inexperienced, plus a Perran, the Football Association feels that it is not safe, and intends to find a coach who has a high reputation in the world and has rich experience.

Of course, this is all just rumors, and no one knows what the future holds, and they don't care.

Now the most important thing to care about is whether the Chinese team can beat Qatar, win the first place in this group, and successfully advance to the top 12. If you can't even make it to the round of 12, what's the point of talking about who will coach the team?

※※※

The Chinese team that conceded the ball actually performed quite well, at least it did not fall into a panic, and the players of the Chinese team were also very active.

But because they were completely inferior on the field, the active scramble of the Chinese players looked like they were being treated like monkeys by the Qatari players......

The Chinese Internet is already full of scolding of Chinese players and coaches, as well as the Football Association.

This score was maintained until the end of the first half, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the half, the players of the Chinese team hurriedly walked to the players' tunnel with their heads down.

The Qatari players were elated, talking and laughing while leaving the field.

This is their home stadium and beating China here to secure top spot in the group was their goal. And now they are only forty-five minutes away from that goal.
