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.

in the arena, spirit is more important than gold medals. the glory of the winner is certainly admirable, but the loser who tried his best is equally respected. fighting for the country and for honor, whether the soldiers are in high spirits and high morale, the eyes of hundreds of millions of people are sharp.

as we all know, the chinese national football team's entry into the top 18 of this world cup qualifier is already a pleasant surprise. even if they did not suffer a heavy loss in the first game, it is not a high probability event to qualify for the world cup. in subsequent games, the men's football team needs to correct their mentality, cherish the opportunity to compete with strong teams, and show that they are humble and unwilling to fall behind.

one minute on the field is the result of ten years of hard work off the field. it is not just the chinese national football team that needs to learn humbly. almost every time the chinese national football team suffers a disastrous defeat, the issue of youth training is raised. this is really scary: the problem keeps repeating, everyone keeps reflecting, but the reality is getting worse. according to authoritative data, the number of young players in china is still less than one-tenth of that in japan. and the total population of japan is less than one-tenth of that in china.

it takes a long time to achieve success, and it cannot just stay in words. since 1996, japanese football has implemented the centennial plan. less than 30 years later, they have become a world-class team that can continuously sweep the german team. does chinese football have such determination, perseverance and execution?

one month ago at the paris olympics, the chinese people saw the strongest physique and the glory of 40 gold medals won by chinese olympic athletes; in the ongoing paris paralympics, the chinese people saw the most unyielding soul and the glory of the chinese paralympic team leading the gold medal list. for the hot-blooded football men, when losing becomes a habit and when being scolded becomes a compulsory course, is it really true that they don’t have the blood to survive in desperate situations?

the army of the underdog will win. even if they are not as skilled as their opponents, they will not yield to them. some of the accusations, sarcasms and even abuses on the internet may be excessive, but the deeper the love, the more severe the criticism. when the majority of fans do not even bother to curse, it is the most complete sorrow of football people.
