Chapter 437 World Preliminaries

No.17 World Preliminaries

After four rounds, the Manchester City duo occupy the top two in the standings, but the third and No.4 are not one of the traditional top five in the Premier League.

Both Arsenal and Liverpool scored seven points with two wins, one draw and one loss, ranking fifth and No.6 in the standings.

And Chelsea is ranked No. 13-Mourinho's team only scored four points in four rounds of the league, only two points more than Sunderland, who was at the bottom of the ranking.

After four rounds, Crystal Palace and Leicester City have become the most surprising teams.

Crystal Palace won three games in the first four league rounds, lost only one game, and ranked third with nine points.

And Leicester City has become one of the three unbeaten teams since the start of the new season of the Premier League. Except for Manchester United and Manchester City, Leicester City has not lost a ball so far-they have won two Premier League games in four rounds. Two draws, eight points, ranked fourth.

You know, Crystal Palace and Leicester City are the relegation teams in people's eyes. It is really surprising that they can grab so many points at the beginning of the season.

However, after the four rounds of the British Super League, the FIFA International Match Day will be ushered in immediately.

Ancelotti will certainly not miss this day.At present, all the momentum of Manchester United is just right. As a result, when the FIFA international match day comes, it will undoubtedly interrupt the upward momentum of Manchester United.

Moreover, there are many international players in the Manchester United team. After the national team returns from the match day, it is unknown how many players will be affected.If you add a few more injuries, it will make Ancelotti even more headaches.

But it’s not okay not to let the international footballers go to the national team. This is a FIFA regulation, and Manchester United cannot violate it.

The one who gave Ancelotti the most headache was Li Qingshan.Because other players are fine, like Mata, he just needs to go back to Spain.As for Li Qingshan, he needs to fly over half of the world to return to China.

And Ancelotti couldn't think of any reason why Lippi would not recruit Li Qingshan.In fact, before the start of the Premier League, the Chinese team played in the East Asian Cup, but because the East Asian Cup was not an important event, Ancelotti used his personal relationship with Lippi to allow Li Qingshan to spend time with Manchester United. A full pre-season warm-up match.

But this time is different, because this round of the national team match day, the task of the Chinese team is the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup. Starting from the top [-] in the second stage, the Chinese team will participate in a round of competitions in the next two years. Series qualifiers.

After winning the Asian Cup, domestic fans naturally have more expectations for whether the Chinese team can enter the World Cup again.

The grouping situation of the Chinese team in the top [-] looks quite optimistic.As the first team, the Chinese team was assigned to Group C, and was assigned to the same group as Qatar, Maldives, Bhutan, and Hong Kong, China.

Every time the lottery comes out, the domestic media will inevitably analyze it.

There is no doubt that from the perspective of paper strength, the Chinese team is the strongest team in this group, and the only team that can pose a threat to the Chinese team is Qatar.

In the top forty competition, the forty teams were divided into five groups, and the top two teams in the group and the No.3 teams with the best results in the two groups directly advanced to the top twelve competition.

The media cheered as soon as the lottery results came out. No one thought that the Chinese team would fail to qualify in such a group.

No matter how bad it is, the Chinese team is still quite sure of playing teams like Hong Kong, Maldives, and Bhutan. At most, they will lose to Qatar and rank second in the group.

The Chinese team has been absent from the Top [-] for three consecutive rounds. It seems that this time, the Chinese team can finally enter the final qualifiers of the Asian World Cup!
..........
The opponent of the Chinese team in the first top [-] qualifier is the Chinese Hong Kong team.

Perhaps because they are quite confident in their own strength, the Chinese Football Association set the home court for the match against Hong Kong, China, in Shenzhen, which is across the river from Hong Kong.The Chinese Hong Kong team only needs to take a bus, and they can arrive at the competition venue from Hong Kong in four to 10 minutes.

The Chinese Football Association fully took care of the Hong Kong compatriots and completely gave up the advantage of the home field.

Because if the home court is set in the northeast, or in the northwest, the Hong Kong team will have to go through a long-distance flight, and the state is definitely not as good as Shenzhen, which can only be reached by bus for four to 10 minutes.

The Hong Kong team can come to the game by taking the subway, but the players of the Chinese team have to fly to Shenzhen.

I don't know what the Chinese Football Association is thinking about, anyway, the home game is in Shenzhen.

Fans in Shenzhen are still very supportive of the national team's games, and the tickets for Shenzhen Bao'an Stadium were sold out very early.In addition to local fans in Shenzhen, Shenzhen also has a high-speed rail link to other cities in Guangdong, and fans from the neighboring Fujian region can also easily come to Shenzhen to watch football through the high-speed rail.

But facing the Hong Kong team, the first half of the game was destined to disappoint the fans.

Since the opponent is not strong, Lippi did not choose Li Qingshan to start, but let him sit on the bench considering that Li Qingshan had just flown back to China from England.

With the strength of the Chinese team, even without Li Qingshan, it stands to reason that it should be easy to win the Hong Kong team.

But after halftime, the bright red scoreboard of Bao'an Stadium reminded all the fans: the current score is still zero to zero.

In the first half of the game, although the Chinese team firmly controlled the situation on the field, the international players just couldn't shoot in.

Yu Hanchao hit the goal twice, and Wu Lei even hit two single-handed goals in a row.In the final stage of the game, Yang Xu's header from close range unexpectedly hit the goalkeeper by mistake.

The Chinese team shot [-] crazy shots in the first half, but the score was... zero to zero!
If it was in the past, there might have been abuse at the scene.But fortunately, Li Qingshan was still on the bench, and the national team had just won the Asian Cup, which also added a lot to the image of the international players, allowing the fans to resist the urge to abuse.

Sure enough, before the start of the second half, Li Qingshan put on his jersey and stood on the sidelines, ready to come on as a substitute.

He replaced the starting center Yang Xu in the first half.

After Li Qingshan took the field, he took the captain's armband from Feng Xiaoting and put it on his hand.

Li Qingshan himself does not know any leadership philosophy.But because of his own strength here, after he plays, even if he doesn't say anything, he can make his teammates feel at ease.

Sure enough, just after the start of the second half, Li Qingshan received the ball on the line of the penalty area, and the naturalized central defender who overwhelmed the Hong Kong team easily completed a turn, followed by a direct shot with his right foot.The goalkeeper of the Hong Kong team has nothing to do.

After piercing this layer of window paper, the subsequent games will be easy to play.

The resistance of the Chinese Hong Kong team collapsed, and their defense was defeated one after another under the impact of the Chinese team.

Six to zero!
After Li Qingshan came on the field, the Chinese team scored six goals in only 45 minutes of half time!

In addition to Li Qingshan himself scoring three goals, Wu Lei, Yu Hanchao, and central defender Feng Xiaoting all scored goals.

In the first World Cup preliminaries, the Chinese team passed without any danger.

The second game was to face the Maldives "away" in Shenyang.

The reason why it is said to be an away game is because the hardware conditions of the Maldives' own home field have not passed the review of the AFC, so they arranged to Shenyang as their temporary home game.

The Chinese team did not give the Maldives any chance in Shenyang. In Shenyang, the Chinese team beat the Maldives [-]-[-]. Li Qingshan scored his second consecutive world preliminaries hat-trick.

After playing this game, Li Qingshan flew back to Manchester and once again participated in the Premier League game.

In the fifth round of the Premier League, Manchester United will usher in a heavyweight game!
