The Chinese media is paying attention to the national team list.
The Chinese national soccer team will play Saudi Arabia and Australia in two final Asian qualifiers for the 2026 North-China World Cup in March. It will face Saudi Arabia (fourth in Group C, one win, three draws and two losses) at Alwa Park Stadium in Saudi Arabia on the 20th and Australia (second in Group C, one win, four draws and one loss) at Hangzhou Sports Park Stadium on the 25th.
Group C is in the Warring States era, except for Japan (16 points, 5 wins and 1 loss), which ranks first. Australia has seven points, while the other four teams (Indonesia at No. 3, Saudi Arabia at No. 4, Bahrain at No. 5, and China at No. 6) all have six points. As the two teams have little difference in gains and losses, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia have tied for multiple points (six points in Indonesia, three points in Saudi Arabia).
However, China is at the bottom of the group, trailing behind Bahrain (-5) in terms of gains and losses. As China has only four matches to play, it is virtually impossible to upset the latter in terms of gains and losses. As the Chinese team literally failed to secure a point, it is uncertain whether it will advance to the World Cup.
China lost 0-7 at home to Japan, 1-2 at home to Saudi Arabia, and 1-3 at home to Australia in the first leg. It rallied from 2-1 at home against Indonesia and 1-0 away to Bahrain, but lost again to Japan 1-3 at home
Therefore, if the Chinese team loses in both games against Australia and Saudi Arabia, it will effectively lose its chance to advance to the World Cup. In many ways, China seems to be all-in in this March A-match. Ahead of the match, Chinese coach Ivan Brockovich has ruled out all veteran players including Zhang Linfeng.
Except for Wang Dalay, no player was born in the 1980s. Immediately after the announcement of the roster, Ivankovic said, "Veteran players are no longer in good form. Rather, it is better to have young players take their seats. We will give good performance to the national team." 메이저놀이터
"Ivankovic's March A-match roster includes five players who were born after the 2000s, excluding veteran players from the 1980s," Sohu said. "I have hope as a fan. I will be able to play in the World Cup primarily with young players."
