492: Already at a big disadvantage before the game even starts.

This time, Tong Yi did not return to China, but flew to Qatar.

Because, the last round of the top 12 group stage of the Chinese men's football team is an away game against Qatar, which is currently ranked last and has missed the World Cup.

In fact, this game should have been played on the last international match day.

However, due to the domestic war in Syria, it has been delayed to the scene.

Mainly, Syria has been arguing with reason.

The last round was originally played at Syria's home court, but because of the war, the AFC has been letting Syria's home games be played in neutral national teams, or even in rival countries. ??

This was the case for the previous two rounds.

But this last round of competition is related to the major issue of whether Syria can qualify for the World Cup in Russia. Syria hopes to move itself back to the country.

Firstly, the domestic situation in Syria has been relatively stable at this stage; secondly, the Syrian government also hopes to use this competition to inspire the Syrian people and make them confident in the future and full of recognition of the national team and government; thirdly, it is also hoped that The Syrian players can show their best strength with the support of their hometown brothers and so on.

Therefore, Syria will fight for its cause!

This resulted in the postponement of this game.

And this round is the last round, the most critical round, which can directly affect the qualifying round of this group. In order to prevent the existence of tacit understanding, the three games in this round are required to start at the same time. of. Therefore, the Chinese men's football team's away game against Qatar and Uzbekistan's home game against South Korea have been postponed.

It has been postponed to this international match day.

However, this is still a bit unfair to the third place in this group.

Because according to the original plan, on this international match day, there will be a play-off for the Asian qualifiers of the 2018 Russia World Cup. This play-off is a direct match between the third place players in the two top 12 groups. There will be two games at home, and the winner will win the Asian Cup. 05 places in the region, and then go to direct dialogue with teams with 05 places in other regions to compete for a place to advance to the 2018 World Cup.

If it were the original plan, the top 12 in Asia would have been able to determine the two teams competing for the 05 places in Asia on the last international match day in September. It is because of this incident in Syria that now only the third place in Group B has been decided, which is Australia. The third place in Group A has not been realized yet and is to be determined!

Therefore, Australia has been preparing for a month and has adjusted its status.

The third place in Group A will be decided after this international match day, and then they will have to fight Australia to win the 05 places in the Asian region.

These are two home games. In other words, the third place player in Group A will play three key games on this international match day, and his team has two games scheduled on this international match day.

For the third place in Group A, physical fitness and endurance

In terms of pressure, you have to withstand a very big test.

Even at this time, many Asian media claimed that Australia, which was waiting for work, had secured 05 places in the Asian region. There is no way that third place in Group A can pose any threat to Australia.

However, there is no way, this schedule cannot be changed again and again because of the second game of Group A.

After all, these schedules are set by FIFA and the AFC.

Of course, the schedule for the Asian qualifiers is mainly determined by the AFC, but the final competition schedule for the 05 places in the Asian zone and the 05 places in other zones is arranged by Inter Milan. On the next international match day, there are also two home games to decide who can qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

It's impossible for you to change the subsequent schedule because of the Asian Group A games, right?

This is so unrealistic!

Therefore, due to the problems in Syria, the final round of the group stage of Group A was postponed, and the third place in Group A had to play three games on this international match day, and they were still three extremely difficult games. Isn't this causing trouble and increasing difficulty for the third player in Group A?

Media reporters all claimed that at this time, the other national teams in Group A must hate the Syrian team.

The Syrian team argued hard for a long time, but the result was that they still did not get what they wanted.

Because the situation in Syria is now a bit volatile, with constant small conflicts.

After comprehensive consideration, FIFA and the AFC decided that for the sake of players and fans, this game will not be scheduled in Syria. But where is the arrangement?

According to past management, of course it will be arranged in a neutral stadium.

But this time it’s too late!

It is too late for the neutral stadium to make temporary preparations. After all, Iran has also stated that fans must enter the stadium, and the Iranian fans have also bought tickets.

It is certainly unrealistic to temporarily find a neutral stadium, so the AFC has no choice but to arrange this game in Iran. Therefore, Syria's last game directly turned the home game into an away game. This argument was fought over and over again, but the result was the worst possible outcome.

This should be something that the Syrian side did not expect.

It would be better to just play in a neutral stadium on the last international match day. It’s better to go now and play in Iran. Isn’t this an away game? By then, the venue was full of Iranian fans. What was this if not an away game?

The most important thing is that Syria now has a chance to hit the third place in the group.

Without this home field advantage, this would still have a huge impact on Syria.

Yes, the current points situation in Group A is like this. Iran has scored 21 points, ensuring

The group qualified first. Then Qatar was eliminated with 7 points. Then the remaining South Korea has 14 points, Uzbekistan has 12 points, and China and Syria both have 11 points. The remaining four teams all have a chance. One of the four teams can occasionally get a spot to directly advance to the 2018 Russia World Cup, and one team can get the qualification to participate in the Asian play-offs to compete for promotion. The remaining two teams have been eliminated from the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Therefore, generally speaking, it is four into two, and the probability is 50.

This probability is actually quite high.

But to be honest, the South Korean team currently has the greatest chance because they have the highest points and may even advance if they lose. After all, even if Syria and China win, they only have 14 points, which is the same as the losing South Korean team, and then the victory or defeat depends on the goal difference and goals.

As long as the Korean team remains undefeated, they will 100% advance.

Therefore, the pressure on South Korea is considered minimal.

Uzbekistan's desire to ensure promotion is actually the same as China's and Syria's, both of which must ensure victory to ensure promotion. If Uzbekistan wins, it will get 15 points, firmly rank second in the group, and advance directly. If they draw, they have to pray that neither China nor Syria can win; if they lose to the South Korean team, then they have to pray that both China and Syria lose.

Therefore, Uzbekistan is under considerable pressure at this time, but it is better than the situation in China and Syria.

As for China, there is no chance of losing. If there is a draw, there is still a chance, that is, Uzbekistan loses. If the two have the same point, it will be considered a small score. In terms of victory, China still occupies a slightly higher position. Lose the advantage and have a chance to advance, but the prerequisite is that Syria cannot win.

The situation in Syria is currently the worst.

After all, now that they have the same points as China, they are ranked behind the Chinese men's football team.

Therefore, if the Chinese men's football team wins this round and the Syrian side cannot win by a big score and get more goal difference, they will definitely be eliminated.

Generally speaking, even if China and Syria win, they still have to wait and see how they fare in another game.

This is where the Chinese men's football team and Syria are most passive.

But even so, they will definitely not give up!

Even if there is only a slight chance, they will definitely try their best.

Here, Tong Yicai was invited by China Chairman Hua Changqing and Nian Donglai to go to Qatar to supervise the battle. Will it give more confidence to the China Men's Football Team and Yuan Zhen?

Of course, it would be best if the Chinese men's football team is lucky and really creates a miracle and gets second in the group and directly advances to the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Even if you can't get second place, you still have to get third place in the group.

Because this is how you can qualify for the 2018 Russian World Cup

A cup of opportunity.

If the Chinese men's football team really finishes third in the group, they will have to compete with Australia for two games on this international match day, which is indeed a bit bad for the Chinese men's football team.

But even so, they still hope to reach the top three.

At this time, I agreed that we were flying to Qatar, because that night the Chinese men's football team was going to have a life-or-death battle with Qatar. On this international match day, these teams in Group A are likely to potentially play three games, so it makes sense for the schedule to be more urgent and intensive.

However, these six teams have made advance preparations, especially the four teams of China, Uzbekistan, South Korea and Syria, because they are the most competitive.

When Tong Yi came to Qatar, there were already Chinese fans and media reporters waiting there.

Media reporters interviewed Tong Yi.

Tong Yi said, "To be honest, I really hope that the Chinese men's football team can defeat their opponents and get a spot in the World Cup. However, I don't know the specific situation. I am here just to cheer them on." . Now my identity is the same as yours, that is, an ordinary Chinese football fan. We all hope that Chinese football can advance to the World Cup. As for the rest, leave it to the young men who are fighting hard on the scene! I hope they put down their burdens, play seriously, and get a Don’t give them results that they will regret in the future. Come on, boys!”

At this time, Tong Yi tried his best not to put pressure on the players of the Chinese men's football team.

He knows very well how much pressure is on the Chinese men's football players at this time. After all, the Chinese men's football team has not reached the World Cup in almost 16 years. This is the expectation of hundreds of millions of Chinese fans for 16 years. This shows the importance of this game.

In Tong Yi's opinion, the pressure of this game should be greater than that of the UEFA Champions League final, right?

Therefore, at this time, putting as little pressure on these players as possible is the greatest support.

Of course, Tong Yi still hopes that the Chinese men's football team can create a miracle and obtain a quota to advance to the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

The current situation is quite favorable for the Chinese men's football team.

After all, although they are away from home, their opponent Qatar has no desire and they have already been eliminated. The psychological pressure on the Chinese Men's Football Team facing such an opponent should not be great, and the opponent's strength is indeed the weakest in this group. There should not be much problem in defeating them.

As long as the players of the Chinese Men's Football Team can perform normally and perform what they should.

Therefore, Tong Yi is still more optimistic about the Chinese men's football team defeating Qatar.

What we are mainly watching now is the game between Uzbekistan and South Korea, and the game between Iran and Syria. The results of these two games will directly affect the fate of the Chinese men's football team.

Come on, Chinese men’s football team!
