144 all the way to the west

According to media analysis, after the 4-0 victory over the nemesis South Korean team, the Chinese team's qualifying situation has improved, and the initiative has gradually returned to their own hands.

In Group A, Iran, the strongest team, currently has 14 points and can be said to have confirmed a place to enter the World Cup.

Then, the Chinese team will have to strive to get the third or even second place in the group.

In the remaining four matches, China will face Iran, Syria and Qatar away and Uzbekistan at home.

Next Tuesday, against a strong Iranian team, the Chinese team will aim to get one point away from home and even try to win.

Because the Chinese team has the palm of the hand, this talented goalkeeper who directed Changsha's victory has raised the confidence of the Chinese media and fans, and some media reporters and fans have shouted about the ambition of winning three points against the Persian team.

In the next three games, if China can play at a level no less than the victory over South Korea, it is not impossible to win away against Syria and Qatar and Uzbekistan at home.

In the next three games, if the Chinese team can get 6 or even 9 points, then the total score will reach about 11-14 points, and there is a good chance to compete for the third place in the group.

In the following fixtures, Syria will challenge Iran and South Korea away from home, and it is unlikely that they will get points, and if China can beat Syria away, then Syria's total points will also be around 12 points.

Qatar's schedule is also not easy to play, and they are more likely to fall behind the Chinese team.

Uzbekistan and South Korea will be fighting each other against Iran, and here we can only hope that Iran, who are already at the top of the table, can continue to put on a strong performance to help us snipe our rivals.

In general, in the next four games, our minimum requirements should be two wins, one draw and one loss, if we don't get such a record, then it can be said that we basically miss the World Cup.

At 5 p.m. on March 24, 2017, the chartered flight of the Chinese national men's football team left Changsha and headed west, arriving at its destination after an 8-9 hour flight.

"If we lose to Iran and Uzbekistan and Syria win, our chances of qualifying are slim." Li Tie put down the tablet and said to the members of the coaching staff with a heavy face.

The Italian foreign teachers looked at each other and did not speak.

They know very well in their hearts that they only took over the mess left by Gao Hongbo after five games, that is, no matter how confident the champion coach "Silver Fox" Lippi is, he will not blindly think that this year's national football team has a great chance of advancing to the World Cup finals.

Even if they finally qualify for the play-offs, no matter which continent the Chinese team plays in the play-offs, Lippi knows in his heart that the probability of promotion is less than 30%.

Even if there is a quasi-world-class strength of Zhang Zhetian, after all, the overall strength of the Chinese team is there.

If there is no Zhang Zhetian, the probability of qualifying for the World Cup finals will fall by less than one percent.

Therefore, the most realistic goal is to prepare for the next World Cup and the Asian Cup in two years.

At this stage, it is only possible to fight, to qualify, it is naturally the best, even if it fails, it is to start again, so the Italian coaches are actually more relaxed than the Chinese coaches who only care about the front of them.

"Iran is very strong, and if they want to get a point at their home stadium, it will depend on Zhangzhetian." Narciso Pezzotti looked at Zhang's seat and said.

Lippi frowned slightly, after taking over the Chinese team, Lippi has specialized in studying the opponents in Group A, not only their matches in the preliminary finals of the qualifiers, but also their previous matches with the Chinese team.

It is because of his knowledge of Iran that Lippi is worried about next week's game.

Zhang Zhetian wore headphones and looked intently at the tablet on the bracket, on which the ball game was played, and if you looked closely, you would know that it was the game of the Iranian team, the strongest team in Asia.

Beside him, the one who was sleeping with an eye mask was Zhang Ying, who was rubbing the machine.

"This is the Persian Legion, the Iran of the first team in Asia?" Zhang Zhetian looked at the screen, his eyes flickered, and said secretly.

After winning the fateful battle, the Chinese team seems to have saved the hope of going to Russia from the edge of the cliff, but the away trip to West Asia, Chinese football has never had many good memories here.

The eerie away atmosphere, the music shouts full of local characteristics, the Iranians' strong physical fitness and stadium style, Lippi and Zhang Zhetian's hearts are as transparent as a mirror, and this opponent is far from being comparable to Qatar and South Korea.

Portuguese Carlos Queiroz doesn't have as much of a career as Lippi, but he is an assistant to Alex Ferguson, the godfather of Manchester United at the Red Devils, who has managed La Liga giants Real Madrid, Portugal, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates and, more importantly, the longest-serving foreign manager in Iran's history.

Can't think of it, right?

Know how many years it took Queiroz to build this Persian cavalry?

6 years!

Yes, you read that right, it's 6 years!

Since taking office in April 2011, Queiroz has not only led Iran to the World Cup in Brazil, but also in Russia.

The fact that a coach can coach the same team in Asia for six consecutive years is already a new record.

The current Iranian team is no longer the group of Ali Daei, Ali Karimi, Wahid Hashmian, Mehedi Madavecchia in the memory of post-80s fans, Queiroz has been intensively cultivating in Iran for several years, and has moved Iran's style to be more pragmatic and tough, just like playing League of Legends, Iran has basically adhered to the idea of swinging the bus and counterattacking from set-pieces.

In the World Cup, their defense of Nigeria can be seen, and then against Argentina, the Iranian team still sacrificed the banner of defense, if there is no Leon Messi before the end of the accurate kill, it is not impossible to overturn the World Cup runner-up, you must know how gorgeous the offensive line of the Argentine team in the 2014 World Cup, Messi, Sergio Aguero, Angel Di Maria......

In the face of opponents whose strength is above the top level in Asia, the Iranian team's bus tactics in the World Cup are indeed successful, and this set of pragmatism supremacy is really practical in the World Cup qualifiers, with no goals conceded in 6 games, 4 wins and 2 draws to score 14 points, and under the premise of 18-19 points to qualify, the Iranian team can be said to have gotten a ticket to Russia.

Sardar Azmon and Said Esatorassi, two post-95 Iranian twin stars have proven themselves in the Russian Premier League Rostov-on-Don.

Azmoun, who scored Messi's goal in the Champions League and was dubbed the "Iranian Messi", turned down an offer from Liverpool in the winter window.

Alireza Jahanbakhsh and Reza Guchanejad are also players who have proven themselves in Europe's top leagues.

While Portugal's style of football is a flashy attack by European Latins, Queiroz has won enough accolades in Iran by relying on a solid defence.

"In the name of the West Asian team, in the practice of Europeanization, the gap between us and Iran is really too big!" Zhang Zhetian touched his chin thoughtfully.
