The Asian Cup group was announced: China signed a weak team and Japan and South Korea met a strong enemy.

There is no South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Australia, United Arab Emirates, or even two or three teams from West Asia. China really got its wish in the Asian Cup group draw and won a bid.

No matter whether there is a behind-the-scenes mystery in winning this award, people will unconsciously put the credit on Zhang Jilong; On a certain level, one of the executive vice presidents of China Football Association, who seems to have no real power, has become the only lucky star in the disaster-stricken China football.

Before the draw, although all the people from Yang Yimin to Zhu Guanghu spoke in the same language, saying that they "don't care about the result of the draw" and "a team with a strong team can exercise the team better", obviously this is just a gesture. In November, 24, with the China team coached by adrianus haan being eliminated in the World Cup qualifying group match, China's football inevitably sank again. After a relatively bleak 25, there is nothing more needed than victory for China's football. It is even hard for you to imagine what a bleak scene China's football will present if China can't even qualify for the Asian Cup preliminaries.

Since each group has two qualifying teams in the Asian Cup preliminaries, China, as the seed team in the group, is more concerned about who the third-grade team is than the second-grade team.

In the third-grade team, the United Arab Emirates and Syria are both difficult opponents-the former's club team made the China team suffer a lot in the AFC Champions League; The latter's Olympic team has also been inextricably linked with China's Olympic team; However, in the end, the China team successfully avoided the two and ushered in the Singaporean team.

Although Singaporean football has made some progress in recent years, and it has also given some problems to Asian teams like Japan in the World Cup qualifiers, its strength is limited after all. At that time, China will be able to destroy its short opponents by virtue of its huge advantages in body and height, and it will be even easier than Japan's victory.

As for the teams in the fourth grade, as long as they are not in the same group with Australia, all other results are not enough to worry China. The result is Palestine. Frankly speaking, people are more familiar with the Palestine Liberation Organization than the Palestinian football team. There is absolutely no reason for China to make any mistakes when playing against them, except that the objective conditions may cause some difficulties when playing away from home.

As a second-class team, Iraq has been assigned to the group where China is located. To be honest, it has laid the foundation for signing without meeting two World Cup teams, South Korea and Saudi Arabia. Among the remaining teams, perhaps China's ideal opponent is Qatar, whose level has stagnated in recent years, and the Oman team has made rapid progress and full of attack; Kuwait is an "enemy", and the battle of revenge has always been a very difficult test for the China team. Maybe it is "old enmity has not been reported, and new hatred has been added"; The Iraqi football coming from the war is the top four in Athens Olympic Games, which is definitely an obstacle that is difficult to easily overcome ... < P > In the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup held in China in 24, China once met Iraq. Although China won 3-, we should not ignore that Iraqis were somewhat unwilling to fight at that time because they were preparing for the upcoming Athens Olympic Games, and it was somewhat adult-like to retreat early. This time, the two armies confronted each other again, and the China team had to try their best to be the first in the group.

On the whole, the result of drawing lots and grouping can make China Football Association and Zhu Guanghu breathe a sigh of relief temporarily. Under the condition of generally ensuring the qualification of the group, Zhu Guanghu has also won a precious breathing space-he can continue to build China's attack and defense system step by step in order to spend his 26 smoothly.

Looking at the grouping situation of 6 teams, the strength of each team is basically equal-four top Asian teams, such as Japan, South Korea and Isha, can easily qualify in their respective teams, and Australia, a new member of Asia, is assigned to Group D, where Bahrain and Kuwait are located. Whether it can adapt to the climate of West Asia and the double team of two West Asian teams will become two major problems for Australia to qualify; In contrast, Group C is closer to the "group of death" in the usual sense-there is bound to be a fierce competition between three West Asian teams with almost the same strength: Jordan, Oman and the United Arab Emirates.
