On the evening of September 27, in the men's football team's 1/8 final of the Asian Games, China beat Qatar 1-0 and entered the last eight after 17 years.

Although it was a one goal victory, this victory was too rare and had different meanings. Like a curse, the Chinese men's football team lost the first round of the elimination match of the previous five Asian Games. When will you break the magic spell of the first round of the knockout? The Chinese team has waited for 17 years, and so have the fans.

Some netizens said that the victory of the Chinese team had a lucky element. It was a dream start when the opening game was less than 3 minutes and the opponent's players made mistakes. But it was unfair to say that it was luck. The Chinese team won first because of its quick reaction, exquisite passing and ability to read the game.

During the whole game, the Chinese team missed many excellent opportunities to score. If they grasped it properly, the score would not be 1:0. On the whole, the strength of the Chinese team is better than that of the Qatar team. In addition, the Chinese men's football players are tenacious and ambitious, which is not reflected in the score. Of course, this game cannot be said to be without regret or blame. In the injury stoppage time phase, the main central defender Jiang Shenglong "applied" for a red card, which was really incomprehensible.

How to evaluate the performance of the Chinese team at the Asian Games so far? Before the war between China and Qatar, China beat India and Myanmar 5-1 and 4-0, and then defeated Bangladesh with a substitute team. It is not easy for Chinese football to win against Qatar this time, which is worth praising.

The performance of the Chinese men's football team should win applause both from the game results and from the players' spirit. Of course, we should also see that the war between China and Qatar is a big fight against small ones. Because Qatar is playing the U23 team this time, and there are many overage players in the Chinese team.

In recent years, the Chinese men's football team has been criticized for its poor performance, especially when it lost to Vietnam in the world preliminary last year. Although the Chinese team that defeated Qatar this time is not the Chinese team that lost to Vietnam last time, the Chinese men's football team cannot regain the trust of the fans only by winning one or two games. For this reason, we still need to make persistent efforts to give back to the fans with better performance, rebuild our image with more full fighting spirit, and walk out of the low ebb with a sense of shame and courage.

There is a good saying: "I love you even if I win, I love you even if I lose, and I love you even if I don't fight." In the face of the next opponent, South Korea, the Chinese men's football team might as well make a bold effort to kick. As the insiders said, "In the face of the strongest opponent, South Korea, there is nothing left to look forward to, let go to play!" Fight tenaciously, fear no strong enemy, and live from the dead, Show the hard work of a man of iron and blood, and finally win the applause of the fans.
