At 16:30 on April 12, 2016, the AFC held the group draw ceremony for the top 12 of the 2018 Russian World Cup Qualifiers Asian Finals in Kuala Lumpur.

In the evening, the ace program of Huaxia National Television "News Network" broadcast the lottery ceremony in the last piece of news, which attracted national attention.

The draw ceremony was held very quickly, and soon, in the eyes of hundreds of millions of Chinese fans, the grouping of the top 12 groups was announced. The Chinese team is in Group A with Iran, South Korea, Uzbekistan, Qatar and Syria, and with the announcement of the group, the schedule of the top 12 matches of the Chinese national football team has also been released.

Huaxia National Football Schedule (Home Front):

First round: South Korea vs China on September 1, 2016

Second round: September 6, 2016 Huaxia vs Iran

Third round: China vs Syria on October 6, 2016

Fourth round: Uzbekistan vs China on October 11, 2016

Fifth round: 15 November 2016 Huaxia vs Qatar

Sixth round: March 23, 2017 Huaxia vs South Korea

Round 7: Iran vs China on March 28, 2017

Eighth round: 2017 6/13 Syria vs China

Round 9: August 31, 2017 Huaxia vs Uzbekistan

Round 10: Qatar vs China on September 5, 2017

Regardless of the group opponents, or the schedule, how to look at it, it is very unfavorable to Huaxia, the first 5 games 3 home and 2 away, the first two games will be the first away and then the home against the two major nemesis and bitter masters, the last 5 games 2 home and 3 away, the worst thing is that the last 4 games have 3 away, and the opponents are all West Asian teams.

And in the order of the opponent, it is also quite unfavorable, the first two strong opponents, if they do not play well, it will hit the self-confidence and morale of the Chinese national football team, if they play well, the self-confidence is greatly improved. It's just that during the competition, there is a lot of travel between East and West Asia, and the long-distance flight and jet lag are quite a challenge to physical strength.

A lot of football celebrities and celebrities generally think that the signing is bad, but almost everyone without exception mentions a person's name.

Sports media person Lu Dayang: Although I don't think it's ideal, but looking back, after the peace of Hong Kong on November 17 last year, I was much more desperate than I am now...... One of the good things about this group is that it can be chaotic and bite each other, and I feel like maybe 19-20 points will be in the top two. However, if Qiansheng can represent our Huaxia team, he will definitely qualify directly with the first place!

Famous football commentator Walker Han: Iran, South Korea, Japan and Australia are all the same, the key is to fight for the fourth...... Oh no, it's a fight for three. However, if there are cadres, they will be the ones who will compete for the third.

Famous host Big Mouth Han Qiaosheng: I'll go ...... I'm afraid I won't have to wait until 2017...... However, if there are cadres, we will already be in Russia without waiting until 2017.

Wang Munan, a special football reporter from Huaxia National Television: It's not easy to fight, and whoever draws it is a tough battle. The guidance of these teams Gao Hongbo has led the team to victory, giving the Chinese team encouragement and confidence! However, if there were cadres, I probably wouldn't be worried.

Li Xuan, director of the "Football" newspaper: Nine deaths, fight to the end! If there is a dry student, it is expected to qualify!

Lang Xiaonong, the father of the Chinese Super League: The top 12 Asian groups in the World Preliminary Tournament were announced, with Iran, South Korea, Uzbekistan, China, Qatar, and Syria in one group. Many do not want to touch Iran and South Korea, preferring to be in the same group as Saudi Arabia and Japan. Because Iran and South Korea are stronger and stronger, the style of the game is more fierce and tenacious, and it is more difficult to deal with than the Saudi and Japanese teams. But we have no choice, we can only hope that Coach Gao will once again lead a group of Chinese iron-blooded men, carefully prepare for the battle, fight on the battlefield, stimulate the unyielding courage and fighting spirit of Chinese football, play our due and good technical and tactical level, and win the decisive battle! I also hope that Gao Gui can bring super dry students to the national team, I believe this is the voice of all Chinese fans, because with him, there is a ninety percent hope of qualifying!

Zhu Xiaoyu, editor-in-chief of the "World Football" column: The rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the ball has to be kicked one by one. We will pay attention to Qiansheng's every move after the season.

Football Night reporter Wang Tao: I feel that Group B of the top 12 is slightly better, but in fact, for the national football team, which group is the same. South Korea, Iran, Uzbekistan, Qatar, Syria, looking at the name, they all feel quite scary, in fact, there is no need, which group is the same as who is the national football team, let go, play with them! Don't forget, we have Super Dry Students!

Yan Gun, a well-known football expert: The reason why hope is beautiful is not necessarily to get the dream that comes true, but the beauty of hope lies in inspiring everyone to look forward to and yearn for, and to strive for the dream to come true with a correct attitude and full efforts.

In the same group as Iran, South Korea, and Qatar, in the words of my buddy Fu Yayu, "all the sufferers who can encounter have caught up". We don't expect the national football team to realize the dream of Russia 2018, and we may have a few games with these Asian heroes and naturalized teams on the most real stage, wouldn't it be happy?

The schedule of the top 12 tournament has had various unfavorable statements before the draw. Now it seems that starting with the away game against South Korea and the main game against Iran, I think this is the best schedule. The strongest opponent is unavoidable, so how can it be a bad thing to face the strongest person as soon as you come up, everyone's attention is highly focused and nerves are tense? These top 12 matches will also be a growth process for the national football team, and walking with the strongest is the best opportunity for self-improvement.

Self-deprecation will be abused as a dog, such a cynical joke is really boring at the moment, as boring as the mid- and long-term plan for football that was issued the day before. Unless Huaxia doesn't play, being abused is unavoidable. In the past fifteen years, or even longer, we have not even had many opportunities to be abused, so we have masochized ourselves in advance. Wouldn't it be nice to have the opportunity to challenge the strongest opponent right now?

Fifteen years ago, Yu Genwei scored the all-time goal leading to the 2002 Japan-South Korea World Cup. That experience is a good memory for many fans. There is a journey that began on September 1, 2016. It is worth cherishing and looking forward to.

Having said so much, I would like to say one more thing at the end, I will go to London at the end of May, meet Super Qian, and do my best to persuade him to join Huaxia, because Huaxia football needs him!

Former international player Li Yi commented on Weibo: "Being able to enter the top 12 is already God's favor, which team player is not given for nothing, rather than counting which group and which sign here, it is better to give this national team more tolerance and patience, the better the mentality, the less pressure, maybe there will be some unexpected surprises, everything is possible!" Come on, Huaxia team! Looking forward to the surprise that Yan Gun will bring us! ”
