‘First winless +3G scoreless’ Continental Son Heung-min is angry with the worst performance…”I want to shoot you with a gun”

China lost 0-1 to Qatar in the third Group A match of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup held at Alaiyan Khalifa International Stadium in Qatar on the 23rd (Korea Standard Time).

China ended its group league with a humiliating two draws and one loss, and 0 points and one run scored in three matches. The results are quite poor compared to the 2015 Australia Championship and the 2019 United Arab Emirates Championship, which advanced to the quarterfinals in a row.

In particular, it is the first time in history that China has not won a single game in three group matches. China has always won one game since the Asian Cup was organized into four teams in each group in 1992.

Since Qatar has already secured the top spot in its group, it has operated a large number of rotations. It has placed key players on the bench, including “Ace” Akram Afif, who has recorded three goals, Almoez Ali, the main scorer at the 2019 Asian Cup (9 goals), and main goalkeeper Meshal Barsham. 토토사이트 추천

Qatar, which lacked time, scrambled its key players to check the conditions of its key players. In the 21st minute of the second half, it brought in Meshal and Abdullisag and scored Afif and Hasan al-Haidos to aim for a goal. Basham, the main goalie, was also deployed in place of Salah, the goalie whose right eye was swollen after being hit by a Chinese player’s head.

Qatar scored the first goal right away. At a corner kick opportunity in the 23rd minute of the second half, Afif sent the ball exactly to Al Haidos, who was out of the box. Al Haidos connected it with a powerful non-stop volley and hit the net. It was China’s first loss in the tournament.

In crisis, China pulled out a Wuray card. Coach Jankovic replaced Weisshao and Wuxi with Wuray and Xu Xin in the 25th minute of the second half. However, China failed to open the goal and pull back. He aimed to score by raising the defense line high, but failed to create a proper opportunity.

Tajikistan won 2-1 at a match between Qatar and China, which was held simultaneously with the match between Lebanon and Tajikistan. It was a fierce battle as 16 minutes were added in the second half. Tajikistan, which is ranked 106th in the FIFA rankings, advanced to the Asian Cup for the first time. However, it beat Lebanon (107th) and China (79th) to confirm its advance to the round of 16 for the first time.

Meanwhile, the result of China’s three group matches ended with no point, one run and two yellow cards. In addition to the scoreless trend, despite a small number of goals and soccer matches in Shaolin, the team ended up with only two yellow cards, leaving a slight possibility of reaching the round of 16.

Hopes remain high, but China is already shocked by the empty balls that it had no win for the first time and no goal in three games. Naturally, Woo-rey, the top star among strikers, has been given all of his arrows. He used to be praised as a star player who represented the Chinese national team and is considered a rival to Son Heung-min in the past.

In fact, he was silent as he started in the two Asian Cup matches. He was criticized for missing out on a crucial scoring opportunity in this match as well. Eventually, some angry Chinese fans reacted furiously, saying, “I want to shoot him.”

Meanwhile, in an interview after the game, Wu Lei said, “I failed to score a single goal in the three group league games. We need improvement in all aspects,” adding, “The gap between Asian soccer has narrowed now. Weak teams now also have good tempo and individual ability.”

“I sincerely thank my fans. I thank them for their support even in this situation,” Wu Lei said. “Chinese soccer, including myself, disappointed many fans. I will try to improve further and make everyone happy.”
