The ninth round of the World Cup qualifiers: Qatar collapses and sets a defensive record, the Chinese national team must win all the last two games

The ninth round of the 2024 World Cup qualifiers in Asia will start on Thursday. Now Japan and Iran have already qualified early, and the remaining four pass cards may be born in this round. These strong teams in South Korea and Australia are almost getting quotas. There are many highlights in the last two rounds of the game, especially the team Qatar, which plays outrageously.

Qatar was the first two Asian Cup champions, but this year's World Cup qualifiers became a joke. They conceded 21 goals in the first eight games, two more than China, which is too exaggerated. He was able to beat North Korea 5-1 in March, but was actually beaten by the UAE 5-0 in September. He lost 3-1 in the last round to play away from Kyrgyzstan and was eliminated 3-1 directly. No one would have thought of such ups and downs. Fans are talking about whether they win the championship depends on luck.

Qatar ranks fourth in the three groups, but he can't even enter the second in the group, so he can only wait to play the playoffs. The problem is that the statistical agencies simulated tens of thousands of times, and no one was optimistic about them at all. The playoffs are likely to be the two teams of Saudi Jordan, and Qatar does not even have the qualification to participate in the intercontinental playoffs. This shows that it is not enough to have a name but not a strength. The situation in other groups is also clear. Palestine and Kyrgyzstan in Group A, Kuwait Bahrain in Group B, and Chinese team in Group C, will definitely not get direct quotas. But some teams can still compete for the playoffs, and China will have to win all the last two games to have a chance. If you lose in Indonesia next round, you will go home one round ahead of time, and there will be no chance of playing-offs.

To be honest, this scene is quite exciting. The Chinese team's opponents Indonesia and Bahrain are not strong in the last two games, it depends on whether they can seize the opportunity. However, Indonesia has always been difficult to play at home. The Chinese team has won there before, but we can't be careless. Losing one game may be complete, and you must win all two games to have hope.

Judging from the data, Qatar's problems are particularly obvious. Not to mention the lack of goals, the defense is outrageous, and it is completely different from the same team when he won the Asian Cup two years ago. Maybe they rely too much on old players, the new players are not coming, or there are problems with training. Anyway, they are being scolded by fans now, saying that they are too humid.

The situation in Saudi Jordan on the playoffs is good, and Iraq also has a chance, but for the Chinese team, just play their own game at the moment. If you win all the last two games, you will probably be able to enter the playoffs, but if something goes wrong in the middle, you won't even be able to go to the playoffs. Now it depends on whether the last two games can withstand the pressure.
