At the start, Mane and Salah flew on both wings

At that time, China participated in the second round first. In the first round, Yang Xu scored a hat trick. Chen Tao and Hao Junmin scored twice. China defeated Laos 7:2. In the second round, Deng Zhuoxiang and Yang Xu scored twice. Qu Bo and Yang Xu also scored. 6:1, with a total score of 13:3, they defeated Laos and advanced to the third round.

In the third round of the top 20, China is still in the first tier with Japan, South Korea, Australia, and Iran.

They were placed in Group A, and their opponents in the same group were Jordan, Iraq and Singapore. At that time, no one thought that China, as a first-tier team, could not advance to the top two in the group.

The first group match went really well. With the goals of Zheng Zhi and Yu Hai, the national football team fell behind by one goal in the first half. In the second half, they scored two goals in a row with a mercury-like attack, and defeated Singapore 2:1.

Everyone was full of confidence. After all, there were actually two teams in the same group that were both weak teams, but little did they know that there were actually three weak teams in one group.

In the second game, although it was an away game, our opponent was Jordan, who had never defeated us. Unfortunately, we made history in this game.

The first half ended in a 0:0 draw, but in the second half Jordan scored two goals in less than 10 minutes without respecting martial ethics. Even though Hao Junmin pulled a goal back in the 56th minute of the game, we still regretted 1:2. Losing to Jordan cast a shadow over our journey to the top 20.

In the third game, we faced Iraq at home. We lost 0:1 at home. Jordan on the other side defeated Iraq 2:0 in the first group match. In the third game, we easily defeated Singapore 3:0. Now China has only A win and ranked third in the group.

In the fourth group match, it came to a critical game where victory was necessary.

Even a draw was unacceptable.

It's Younis again.

At the last moment of the game, this damn Iraqi No.

10 who has broken through the national football team's goal countless times once again penetrated the national football team's goal.

0:1, the national football team lost to Iraq 0:1 in the away game and was double beaten.

Because Jordan defeated Singapore 2:0 on the other side, the national football team's qualifying probability is only a weak possibility that can be calculated by a computer.

In the fifth game, the Chinese men's football team relied on Zheng Zheng to score twice and Yu Hai and Li Weifeng's goals to defeat Singapore 4:0. Unfortunately, on the other side, Iraq defeated Jordan 3:1.

So far, Iraq and Jordan have achieved 4 wins at the same time, which also means that even if the national football team wins the last group match, it is impossible to advance.

In the last group match, the Chinese men's football team, which had been unable to advance, worked together and defeated Jordan 3:1 with Hao Junmin's brace and Yu Dabao's goal. But this victory came too late, too late.

In fact, it was obvious at that time how amateurish the Football Association was. After China defeated Jamaica 1:0 in the last friendly match before the World Cup preliminaries, Gao Hongbo dismissed get out of class and Camacho took over in a hurry. Why did the coach change so hastily? I don’t know, I don’t trust Chinese people, do I think foreigners are better? Whether it was for some other reason is unknown.

However, there was only one month before the World Cup preliminaries, and Camacho, who had hurriedly took charge, only had one month of players' running-in period. Although they reversed Singapore in the first game, the subsequent defeat made China one of the weaklings in the group stage, and even only one Second to Singapore's Fish Belly team, which failed to score a single point in the group stage and lost all 6 games.

We later learned that Camacho was not dismissed directly because of liquidated damages. After all, the Football Association paid about 50 million yuan in liquidated damages after Camacho was dismissed.

Although the World Cup preliminaries were eliminated early, the national team will also have a warm-up match on the ensuing match day. So, they lost to Spain 0:1, relied on Gao Lin's brace and Feng Renliang's goal, defeated the Asian fish belly Vietnam 3:0, and then Ghana 1:1, Gao Lin scored. Immediately afterwards, they lost to Sweden 0:1 and suffered a humiliating defeat of Brazil 0:8 in Recife.

It is hard to imagine that it was not until the 1:5 loss to Thailand that the Football Association belatedly dismissed Camacho. At that time, the Chinese men's football team also experienced a 0:1 loss to Oman, a 1:2 loss to Saudi Arabia, a 1:2 loss. Four losses including a loss to Uzbekistan and a 0:2 loss to the Netherlands.

It wasn't until the 1:5 loss to Thailand that the Football Association dismissed Camacho under the pressure of intolerable domestic fans. Perrin who took over was indeed good. He won all three games in the 2015 Asian Cup group stage. Unfortunately, he met Australia, the current champion.

"Football is a step-by-step process. A big defeat is not terrible, after all, the opponent is a powerful team like Brazil. I believe that the National Football Team will turn defeat into motivation and prepare for the 2015 Asian Cup and the 2018 World Cup. What's more, I am a fan of the national football team. As a Chinese, I will be sad if I lose and happy if I win, but I will never lose confidence in the national football team. Come on, National Football Team!!!"

"You mean, if you think about it from another perspective, the Chinese men's football team is the first team to prepare for the 2018 World Cup, so it has certain advantages, right?"

This, Zhou Xu is a little speechless, how can anyone answer this?

"This angle is still a bit novel, you could say that." Zhou Xu said silently, he was a little afraid that his answer would become the material for future ghost videos, then it would be famous for generations, just like General Fan's one after another and his ideas must be understood first.

On October 31, the League Cup match against Blackpool was held at Bloomfield Road.

Zhou Xu sent out his strongest starting lineup, goalkeeper Alisson, backcourt players Robertson, Stones, Maguire and Cancelo, midfield players Pogba, Wang Chu and Kante, frontcourt trident Mane, Vardy and Salah. In the last match, Notts County defeated Blackpool 1:0 at Bloomfield Road thanks to Kante's goal in the 3rd minute of the game. Zhou Xu naturally hopes to win this match. Blackpool

's starting lineup is different from the last match. In the

11 starting positions, goalkeeper is still Giacora, and the back line has changed.

Fadi, who played as left back in the last match, was arranged to right back by head coach Hayes this time.

The starting left back is Jack, a young player of the Red Army, who is fast, can go up and down and has amazing potential. Robinson. He started out in Liverpool's youth training and quickly got a contract with Liverpool because of his potential. However, he was unable to start for Liverpool and soon joined the loan training army and joined Blackpool. Jack Robinson can attack and defend, but in Blackpool, he mainly plays a defensive role.

The central defender combination has not changed.

In the midfield trio, Comen was arranged to the defensive midfielder position, and the midfield combination was Fletcher and Grandin, which was the striker and right winger in the last game.

The left winger is still Jonny, who has made 3 assists in 10 league games this season.

The right winger is the loaned teenager Dale, who has an amazing speed and good passing and crossing ability. His excellent dribbling and his passing make him unstoppable in the Championship.

In the forward position, the 22-year-old Joshua started the game. He is a speed dog, but he is mediocre in other aspects.
