on september 19, beijing time, fifa announced the latest national team rankings. the chinese men's football team, which suffered two consecutive defeats in the world cup qualifiers, dropped four places compared to the previous ranking, ranking 13th in asia and 91st in the world. although this ranking created a new low for the national football team in the past eight years, it is still a bit unexpected for ordinary sports fans that our men's football team can still rank among the top 100 in the world.
in the two world cup qualifiers that ended in september, the chinese national football team first lost 0:7 to japan away from home, and then suffered a last-gasp defeat at home in dalian with one more player, losing 1:2 to saudi arabia. these two consecutive defeats made those who love chinese football even more sad, and the outside world was also worried that if things continued like this, would there still be so many people paying attention to the chinese national football team's games?
however, fifa's latest ranking of national teams still surprised us a little. although there has been a decline, the chinese national football team can still rank within the top 100. as for the teams behind it, such as syria and palestine, the chinese men's football team has no confidence in defeating or even drawing with them in terms of strength. therefore, this ranking can be regarded as a fig leaf for the chinese men's football team, giving people the feeling that it does not look too bad. however, in a vertical comparison, the last time the chinese national football team was ranked outside the top 90 in the world was in 2016, when the chinese national football team ranked 96th in the world.
the mentality of the fans can also reflect whether the ranking is reasonable. "the ranking is too high! the actual 191st is worthy of the name", "the normal level should be after the 100th", "a new low? the lowest is behind", etc. these comments are not only a bit of disappointment, but also show that the real strength of the chinese national football team is far from reaching the world's 91st place. our football people must know shame and then be brave!
