Before the match against Qatar, the atmosphere of the Chinese team was so relaxed, and the entire national public opinion environment was rarely very relaxed for the national football team.

This makes some people a little uncomfortable.

They were worried that it would not be good to relax so much and that it would lead to the team losing.

But when this concern is spoken, it is quickly ridiculed: "What if we lose at home? Can the Chinese team still lose 0:11 at home? I won't say anything else, if the Chinese team can really lose so much, Lao Tzu will eat live! ”

Many people simply don't believe that the Chinese team can lose so much.

Therefore, the Chinese team's promotion to the top 12 is basically a certainty.

Many people think that if they really lose to Qatar in the end, they will lose and lose, and it is not a big deal.

Who wants to watch the Top 40 now?

We're going to the Top 12!

It's a pity that the first game of the top 12 is estimated to wait for September this year, and there are still six months to go.

Before the game, Qatari coach Carreño boasted about Gao Zheng and the Chinese team, and the Chinese media and the Internet also reported and discussed this matter, and everyone was very happy.

After all, I praise myself for being a bit suspicious of selling melons, but it is very cool for others to praise myself, what does this mean?

It fully shows that the opponents have been convinced by us!

Qatar took the initiative to release goodwill, and the Chinese media and fans did not hesitate to be friendly and sent their blessings to Qatar, hoping to advance to the top 12 together.

I have to say that Chinese fans are really kind.

When they sent their best wishes to their opponents, they completely forgot about the 40-year-long feud between Chinese football and Qatar......

In the 1989 World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team suffered a "black three minutes" in Qatar, and was scored three goals in three minutes by Qatar with a 1:0 lead, ending the World Cup qualifiers with a score of 1:2.

In the top 10 matches in 1997, the Chinese team was scored three goals in a row by Qatar at home, and finally missed the World Cup in France with a score of 2:3.

In the 2008 World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team drew 0:0 with Qatar away, and lost 0:1 to Qatar when they returned to their home stadium, and did not even enter the top ten.

In the group stage of the 2011 Asian Cup, the Chinese team was defeated by Qatar 0:2 and missed the knockout stage.

Unlike the other opponents of the Chinese team, Qatar and the Chinese team have played each other many times, only one is a warm-up match, and the other games are all official matches, and the memory of losing to Qatar is particularly painful.

Before the start of the game, some Qatari fans held Chinese flags and Qatari flags and waved them outside the stadium, attracting the attention of the media and many Chinese fans.

This scene is really the best portrayal of "friendship first, game second", and it is a clear proof that football cannot surpass human emotions.

Because of football, two people who don't understand the language and race can hug each other with a smile on their faces, which really makes everyone who sees this scene involuntarily smile.

How wonderful football is!

In this game, Perrin made some changes to the starting line-up, replacing a large number of substitutes. Obviously, he has already started to prepare for the round of 12, and he has to scout more players for the round of 12 and run in the team.

Although there have been rumors that the Football Association may replace Perrin after reaching the round of 12, Perrin still insists on doing his job and is not unexpected.

Of course, no matter how he adjusts the starting lineup, Gao Zheng is still in the starting list.

After all, he can't go too far, even if the Chinese team loses, he can't lose too simply. After all, this is his home stadium, where does this put the face of Chinese football?

And Gao Zheng is the one who maintains the façade.

Door God.

After the start of the game, the Chinese team did play a little carelessly, even if it was a substitute player, their minds may be in the top 12, not in the last round of 40.

None of them have participated in the round of 12, and they are full of expectations for this competition, and even for the World Cup after the round of 12.

After all, being able to participate in the World Cup is the highest pursuit of every Chinese player.

In addition, some people say that the competition that represents the highest level of Asian football is not actually the Asian Cup, because after the repeated expansion of the Asian Cup, too many fish belly teams have mixed in.

But after brutal elimination, the top 12 is the representative of the highest level of Asian football, but which team can participate in the top 12 is not a strong team in Asia?

Saudi Arabia, Australia, Iran, Japan, South Korea, Uzbekistan...... These are all well-known names in Asian football.

What exactly does the Top 12 look like?

The Chinese players are looking forward to this.

The Chinese players played absent-mindedly, while Qatar were proactive and played very hard, hoping to score early and win the game.

Even if it was just a 1-0 game in the end, they were satisfied, because this score was enough for them to advance to the last 12.

Chinese fans and commentators have also seen this positive mentality in Qatar.

But the fans didn't care very much, they came to celebrate the Chinese team's promotion to the top 12 just like the festival. It doesn't matter if you win or lose, of course you win, well, it doesn't matter if you lose, it won't be like before, you will be scolded when you lose.

The commentator He Ping was also very relaxed, but he still had to say something nice about the scene in his mouth, so as not to be picked out: "Although we have qualified for the top 12 in advance, I still hope that the players can take this game seriously, after all, this is also a hard-won warm-up game prepared for the top 12......"

He still accidentally said what he really thought.

Yes, for Qatar, it is a game of life and death, and for the Chinese team, it is actually a warm-up game to prepare for the top 12.

The gold content of this warm-up match is still very high - where do you find such a warm-up opponent who is willing to fight with you?

Daniel Carreño stood on the sidelines, nervously watching the field.

Although the final round of the top 40 matches was all played on March 29, because the time was similar in different places, the kick-off time was also different, and he could not adjust his tactics while paying attention to other games, so he could only try to do his own thing first.

Win the game and take your destiny firmly in your own hands.

Looking at the Chinese team players on the field in the same state as walking, he secretly clenched his fists.

Kick it like this, we have a show!

Then he had some regrets - why couldn't these Chinese players play like this when Qatar played the Chinese team at home?

If they want to play like this, we will win long ago, do we still need to come here to see the faces of the Chinese?

Carreño was in a state of gain and loss.

The game continues, Qatar have created a couple of chances and look like they are getting closer to scoring.

Twenty-five minutes passed in the first half.

At this moment, the Chinese team played a counterattack.

Carreño did not take this counterattack to heart, he was more concerned about how his team would switch from defense to attack next, how to improve the efficiency and success rate of offensive and defensive conversion, and which side of the Chinese team's defense should be played when counterattacking......

At this time, the football was passed directly from the back to the feet of Gao Zheng in the front court.

After Gao Zheng raised his foot to unload the flying football, he looked up at the Qatar goal 35 meters away, and then suddenly shot from a distance!

The ball was kicked towards the goal, flew high and then plunged again.

The goalkeeper of Qatar didn't expect Gao Zheng to shoot directly from such a distance, and his concentration was not enough.

By the time he saw the ball flying, it was too late for him to pounce.

Although he made a save, he didn't touch the football at all, and in fact his save was much more symbolic than practical - at least it showed that he was not inactive......

The football rushed headlong into the Qatari goal amid the cheers of the fans!
