The national football team breaks the curse of unbeaten Syria in 25 years
As the results of the other groups that ended earlier are beneficial to the national football team, in fact, before the game, the national football team has basically locked up the place to advance to the top 12. Therefore, this game is more of a battle for the national football team. After all, the national football team has not beaten the Syrian team in the main game for 25 years. Although in the 13 confrontations between the two teams before the game, the national team had 7 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, but the last time they won in an official game was the 1996 Asian Cup group stage, when the national team defeated Syria 3-0.
After winning this game, the national football team finally broke this invincible “curse”, and this was also the national football team and Syria again scoring 3 goals in the opponent. However, as the national football coach Li Tie said at a press conference after the game, he is not satisfied with this loss. If the national football team can score 3 goals and complete the zero cover, the situation will be more perfect, but for the current national football team, it has been lacking in such intensity games for a long time, and it has performed very well to win.
4 consecutive victories were achieved, the national football team received 12 million bonuses
In order to encourage the national football team to have a better performance in the second stage of the top 40 competition, the Chinese Football Association decided to spend a lot of money to reward each game before the game. The victory over Guam was rewarded 1 million, the Maldives was rewarded 2 million, and the Philippines was rewarded 3 million. After completing the three-game winning streak, the national football team has already received 6 million in winning prizes. And if it can defeat the Syrian team, the first place in the strongest group, the national football team will once again receive a bonus of 6 million yuan, and the national football team will eventually complete this task. In the end, the national football team received a winning prize of 12 million yuan.
In the second stage of this top 40 match, the national football team actually faced unprecedented difficulties. It was originally scheduled to be played in a tournament system in Suzhou, but due to the new crown in the Maldives, the AFC decided to move the game to Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates and caught the National Football Association and the Chinese Football Association by surprise. In the case of a very short preparation period, the Football Association has used all its strength to create a relatively good environment for the national football team. At the same time, the national football players were able to adjust their mentality in time under the psychological guidance of the coaching staff, and finally completed the goal of promotion.
This competition is a rare big test for the Chinese Football Association and the National Football Association. In the end, they handed in a perfect answer with 4 consecutive victories + breaking the curse + qualifying to the top 12 matches. (Yang Xixi)Return to Sohu to see more
