The Chinese national team became the first team to qualify for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
The outside world did not feel too much surprise.
After all, at the beginning of this year, they had already beaten Japan, the former Asian hegemon, 4:0 away from home, so in the group stage Defeating North Korea in an away game in the sixth round is a normal result.
In addition, the current strength of the Chinese team has indeed reached the European level.
Many starting players and some substitute players can play in the European League.
Their skills and The awareness is obviously higher than other Asian teams.
Therefore, the official website of the Asian Football Confederation, the official website of FIFA and the official website of the World Cup in South Africa immediately announced in a prominent position that the sleeping dragon had awakened and advanced to the main match.
It is worth mentioning that in the newly released world rankings, the Chinese team's ranking has reached a new high, reaching 46th in the world, second in Asia, second only to Australia, but many people know that this is not the Chinese team.
Real level, when many national teams play warm-up matches to gain points, the Chinese team does not Although the Chinese team has already qualified for next year's World Cup in South Africa in advance, the seventh round of the Asian Top 10 home match against Bahrain at the Workers' Stadium in Beijing was still full of seats.
This was just to confirm that the team had already qualified for the main round.
In the game, the main lineup was not sent, but a semi-main lineup was played.
Main players like Ai Luo, Feng Xiaoting and Gao Lin all sat on the bench.
Originally, Aiello's desire to fight was very strong, but head coach Gao Hongbo thought that Aiello had just participated in a high-intensity Champions League final and returned to the country for training to participate in the World Cup qualifiers.
In an irrelevant situation, there was no such thing.
Necessary to appear.
But what really convinced Aiello to rest was another reason to disgust the Japanese team at home in the last round of the group stage.
Currently, the Japanese team, which is second in the group, is five points ahead of the North Korean team.
The two teams will have a direct confrontation in the next group stage.
Many media believe that it is extremely slim for North Korea to directly qualify for the finals, but there is still a theoretical hope of advancing.
If North Korea can upset Japan in the next home group match, the points gap between them will be narrowed to two points, and the fate of the two teams will be decided in the final round of the group.
North Korea will challenge Uzbekistan away from home. , Japan challenged China away from home.
Everyone knows the historical grudges between China and Japan.
The Chinese team playing at home will definitely not let the Japanese team go easily.
In other words, the Chinese team will very likely use the advantage of their home court to defeat Japan, so the Japanese team will play one game first.
Under the circumstances, the points and rankings between each other remain unchanged, and North Korea happens to defeat Uzbekistan, the weakest team in the group, in the last round of the group stage.
Then with one plus and one loss, North Korea will overturn Japan and become second in the group.
By then, Japan will be squeezed into third place in the group, and can only compete with the third place in Group B for half of the places to advance to the World Cup finals.
And this result will also severely slap the Japanese Football Association in the face, as they agreed to leave Asia and join Europe.
Thinking of this possibility, countless Asian media are full of expectations.
It seems that there are a lot of media who hate the Japanese team over the years.
Even Ben Harman, the chairman of the AFC, felt very happy.
When Japan ignored the AFC's face and wanted to leave Asia and enter Europe to participate in UEFA competitions, the hidden meaning was that the AFC was not good enough.
"Since our national team has directly advanced to the finals of next year's World Cup in South Africa after the last round of group matches, it is very reasonable for Gao Hongbo to choose a semi-main lineup under the guidance of Gao Hongbo in the case of continuous games.
We all know the captain Aiello just finished participating in the Champions League final on the 28th of last month, and then He has returned to China non-stop to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers.
Both from a physical and mental level, he has reached his personal critical point, and there are also rumors that Aiello has not received adequate rest for two consecutive summers.
Wouldn’t it be too selfish to use Iroh under such circumstances?”
Fans watching the live TV broadcast blurted out curses in unison when the starting lineup was played on the big screen.
This was completely equivalent to taking off their pants and seeing Calabash Baby.
However, with the comments given by the commentator He Wei at the scene, they felt The fans who complained gradually came to understand.
Of course, in this case, there will always be those fringe fans who can't understand, and they will curse in social networks such as Penguin Group, Tieba, and forums.
However, under the bombardment of high-quality fans who are united, they are slowly calmed down and dare to be angry.
Dare not speak.
Although the Chinese team had a semi-main lineup at the Beijing Workers' Stadium, it still relied on its home court advantage to defeat Bahrain 2:1.
In the U20 World Youth Championship held in Egypt in September this year, Wu Xi and 18-year-old youngster Wu Lei each entered.
One goal, including Sun Ke, Zhang Chengdong, Zhang Xizhe and other young players who came on the bench, which made people shine.

In the later game, the Japanese team that challenged North Korea in an away game really capsized in the gutter and lost 0:1 to the home team North Korea after a 90-minute attack.
You know that Japan can advance directly as long as they tie, but they didn't expect to lose in the away game.
The possibility predicted by the media before was unexpectedly possible, and the probability is very high.
Because Japan’s opponent in the last round of the group stage is China I wouldn’t have worried in the past, but today is different.
The Chinese team, which is almost composed of a substitute lineup and young players, can beat Bahrain at home.
Thinking about the historical grievances between each other, Ai Luo, Feng Xiaoting, and others are well rested.
Gao Lin and others will 100% appear in the final round of the group stage.
In other words, Japan will be in trouble The North Korean media, who are not good at conciliation, also praised the Chinese team at this time, playing family cards and wearing high hats, hoping that China could defeat Japan at home and indirectly help them get a spot to directly advance to the World Cup.
A week has passed in the blink of an eye, and the final round of Group A of the 2010 South Africa World Cup Qualifiers Asian Top Ten Tournament between the Chinese national team and the Japanese national team will begin at the Beijing Workers' Stadium.
This venue is very familiar to many die-hard Chinese fans, but thinking about it always makes them a little sad.
The Asian Cup final five years ago was held at the Beijing Workers' Stadium.
At that time, due to many misjudgments by the Kuwaiti referee, the Chinese team lost to the Japanese team 1:3 at home, thus finishing second, and thus began a period of Chinese football.
As a person involved in the dark history, Ai Luo knows it best.
So no matter what, Aiello has to stop the Japanese team in the final group match.
Before the game, Japanese head coach Takeshi Okada fully showed his weakness in an interview with reporters, saying how strong the Chinese team is and how weak the Japanese team is.
In the final analysis, he hopes that the Chinese team will let them go.
But today is different from the past.
The two teams The level has rapidly expanded due to the full growth and rise of China's golden generation of young players.
The Workers' Stadium, which can accommodate 64,000 fans, was already full an hour before the start of the game.
More than 90% of the Chinese fans wore red jerseys.
There were only less than 5,000 blue Japanese fans.
No matter whether they were cheering or booing, they could not help. passed to the field, because this is the home court of the Chinese team Thinking that Japan will not be able to directly advance to the main draw, Japanese fans can only be anxious.
The main lineup led by Ai Luo led Japan 2:0 in the first half.
In another group match at the same time, the North Korean team led Uzbekistan 1:0 at halftime.
In other words, if the game ends according to this result, then North Korea will make a miraculous comeback from Japan and directly qualify for next year's World Cup In the end, China defeated Japan 3:0 at home, while North Korea also beat Uzbekistan 2:1 away in another game.
After the two games ended, the entire Asian media was in a fit of lamentation.
The Asian hegemon was reduced to participating in the play-offs.
It is worth mentioning that at the end of the game, countless fans from North Korea shouted "Long live China" after shouting "Long live North Korea".
At the end of the game, the Chinese team players learned that North Korea defeated Uzbekistan on another venue and beat Japan to become second in the group.
They celebrated wildly at the scene.
They were able to advance to the World Cup after eight years and at the same time block Japan.
It's such a great feeling to advance directly to the finals.
After the members of the on-site Dragons fan club learned the result, they took out the huge slogans and banners they had prepared: "Congratulations to Japan for bidding farewell to the World Cup in South Africa", "It was agreed to leave Asia and join Europe", "In the end Who is the sick man of East Asia?”
Many Japanese fans at the scene are international students in China, so it is possible to see at a glance what the Chinese fans are saying, but they dare not express their anger.
After all the Asian qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa ended, the four national teams that were directly promoted were: China, Australia, South Korea and North Korea, and the teams competing for another 05 qualifying places also came out.
Saudi Arabia defeated Iran to become the The third place in the group will compete with Japan, the third place in Group A, for half of the qualifying spots in the finals.
When the results came out, in addition to the Japanese Football Association feeling very disappointed and uncomfortable, so did AFC Chairman Ben Harman.
The four teams that directly advanced to the finals of next year's World Cup were all from East Asia.
This made him the representative of West Asian football.
The chairman of the AFC is very depressed.
But these have nothing to do with Aiello, nor with the Chinese team.
At this time, countless die-hard fans with financial foundations have already begun planning to go to South Africa to watch the Chinese team play next year, and many companies are also studying relevant detailed plans to deal with the situation when employees take time off to watch the game.
China has directly qualified for the World Cup finals.
