On the evening of November 16, Beijing time, Zhang Yuning, a national football scorer, was a guest on CCTV and recalled the little-known story behind the 0-7 defeat to the Japanese team in the first leg of the round of 18. Zhang Yuning bluntly said that the fiasco was mainly due to the bus detour, which caused the whole team to not warm up and the opening goal was conceded too early.
In the first round of the round of 18 in September this year, the national football team lost 0-7 to the opponent, which was not only the most disparity between the Chinese and Japanese men's football teams, but also the largest defeat in the history of the national football team in the world preliminaries. Because of this fiasco, the international players were criticized. This also makes the national football team so far inferior because of goal difference, and in the case of the same points as Australia and Saudi Arabia, it can only be relegated to the fourth place in the standings. Although the strength of the national football team is far below that of Japan, the defeat is expected, but such a fiasco is indeed a bit abnormal.
In this regard, Zhang Yuning also said that the national football team was interfered with by many objective factors in that game: "There were really a lot of objective difficulties, I really didn't do a warm-up before the first game, the bus sat for two and a half hours, and it was supposed to be an hour to arrive, but we took a long detour, and then we went to the venue to tie our feet, and we did a 15-minute warm-up to play, and everyone was not completely ready.”
In addition, Zhang Yuning also admitted that the team conceded a goal too early was another reason for the fiasco: "Everyone knows that the longer we can resist this kind of game, the longer we can really hold it." The goal was conceded too early, and the team's psychological defense was also loosened. ”
However, Zhang Yuning also said that when he returned to his home stadium, the national football team, which had regained his confidence after winning 2 consecutive games, would never lose 0-7 again: "Now that the objective factors of returning to the home stadium can be put aside, in my heart, no matter how many games we play with Japan, they will not score 7 more goals against us." ”
At present, the Japanese men's football team has been unbeaten in 13 official matches, with 12 wins and 1 draw, but only conceded one own goal against Australia in the last round of 18. The national football team still faces a serious challenge if it wants to steal points from Japan at home.
