xinhua news agency reporter

the 0:7 defeat a few days ago shattered the fans' perception of the chinese national football team's bottom line.

it is undoubted that the chinese national football team suffered a big defeat in the away game against japan, a world powerhouse. but the biggest score in the team's history was indeed surprising, and even more surprising was the players' broken state of the game - constant low-level mistakes, no tactics, no coordination, no fighting, and even no physical confrontation... no wonder there were so many criticisms online, and "no blood" became the unanimous opinion of the audience.

losing is acceptable, but playing badly is not. two days later, the men's football team will face another asian powerhouse, saudi arabia, at home, and the psychological bottom line of the majority of fans must not be broken again.

after the 0:7 score, the players' confidence, team unity, coach's authority, etc., were probably shaken. but the darker the moment, the more we need to have a common goal, know our shame and then be brave, and fight back in desperation. as the two leaders of the football association encouraged the national football team on the 7th, we must play with a good mental outlook and blood. as the players said, we must look forward, and the word "go" is the only way to play against saudi arabia. this should be the consensus of the entire team at the moment.

chinese fans who have always been loyal to the national football team are passionate and understanding. facing the upcoming battle in dalian, few people say that they cannot lose. but they all hope that the men's football team can at least play with the spirit of the chinese team, play at their current level and in the way they should, instead of collapsing and falling apart once they fall behind by a large margin. some netizens even said that if every game can be played like the 0:1 match against south korea, the trip to the top 18 will be worthwhile.
