After the Chinese team beat the Japanese team, situ Yunbing gave the team a day off so that the team could relax and play in Abu Dhabi, go shopping and see the scenery. Then in the evening, we watched another Asian Cup semi-final between Qatar and the host United Arab Emirates in the hotel.
There was almost no suspense in the semi-final. Qatar scored four goals in the first and second half!
It has been a more than expected result for the host to enter the top four, but the way of 0-4 defeat still makes the UAE angry.
After the game, they collected information to report Qatar's illegal use of naturalized players to AFC!
Moez Ali, who scored 8 goals in 6 games, and Bassam Allawi, the core of the defence, were listed as naturalized players by Qatar when they did not comply with the naturalization rules!
AFC has a headache!
The host can't afford to lose!
But after careful examination, the two players in Qatar do not meet the naturalization rules!
AFC's planning rules should meet one of four conditions.
Born in the territory of the relevant association.
The biological mother or father was born in the territory of the relevant association.
A grandmother or grandfather was born in the territory of the relevant association.
After reaching the age of 18, he has resided in the territory of the relevant association for five consecutive years.
Moez Ali was born in Sudan, Africa. He played in the youth training camp of the Austrian club when he was a teenager. He didn't play in Qatar until 2016. He has lived in Qatar for less than 5 years, and he doesn't meet the above three requirements
Bassam Allawi was born in Iraq and was naturalized only in 2015. Although he belongs to the players of Qatar Laiyang team, he was loaned to La Liga CELTA B team and Belgium League for training after planning. He did not live in Qatar for five consecutive years. In addition, he did not meet the above three items, so he could not play on behalf of Qatar National team.
Such a big scandal was exposed before the Asian Cup finals, which definitely made AFC miserable.
The United Arab Emirates demands that Qatar be disqualified!
At the same time, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar are required to judge the United Arab Emirates to win 3-0 in the semi-final!
Let's start with the latter. If it meets the requirements of the UAE, South Korea will certainly not be happy. Qatar has eliminated the South Korean team before, and the South Korean team will certainly ask to play a semi-final with the UAE again!
Will the requirements of the Korean team be met?
If the requirements of the South Korean team are met, what about the opponent eliminated by Qatar in the group stage? Do they just keep silent?
Therefore, the second requirement of the UAE cannot be met!
So the first disqualification of Qatar, can AFC make such a penalty?
If Qatar is disqualified, who will play against China in the final?
According to the idea of the general public, it may be that since Qatar has been disqualified, wouldn't it be OK to award the champion directly to the Chinese team?
In fact, it's really not like that in the football world.
If Qatar is disqualified, the competition will be yellow and no champion will be born!
So AFC played a time game and put the resolution reply on the second day after the Asian Cup final.
No matter how the final punishment is, finish the final first!
Lest the world laugh when you don't even have to play in the finals!
Situ Yunbing has not been affected by this storm. According to the urine nature of the world football federation, it is impossible to cancel the final. The war that should come will still come. If he is distracted, it will be the stupidest behavior.
Qatar this competition is very strong, strong is a little outrageous!
The group game scored 10 goals, three zero opponents and three consecutive victories.
Six goals in the knockout, three zero opponents, or three consecutive victories.
In other words, Qatar scored 16 goals before the final of this competition, one goal was not lost, and won six consecutive games!
One of the classics is naturally a 1-0 knockout victory over South Korea!
Team striker moez Ali scored 8 goals in 6 games and was in a brave state. He can be called the strongest striker in this competition!
It is no wonder that the UAE wants to disqualify Qatar. After all, one of the parties to the naturalization issue is moez Ali.
Situ Yunbing watched all the competitions in Qatar a few days before the final.
Qatar also plays defensive counterattack, and defense is naturally speechless.
In terms of attack, moez Ali, who has strong personal ability, has propped up the facade, and Qatar has become a climate.
After all, it is the host of the World Cup four years later. Even if Qatar has been exposed to the scandal of bribery in the election of the world cup, FIFA will not cancel Qatar's qualification to host the world cup. Therefore, Qatar's current strength is naturally to greatly improve its strength for the world cup four years later.
After studying the competition in Qatar, situ Yunbing was not optimistic about the final.
In fact, he doesn't want to play overtime or penalty shootout.
Now that we have reached the final, we should try our best to control our destiny in our own hands!
According to his former coaching style in European football, if there is no alternative and chic deployment in the final, it is really not his situ Yunbing!
However, the Chinese team's qualifications and experience make him very difficult in the use of tactics.
Situ Yunbing can only carefully measure the ability circle of the Chinese team, rack his brains within the scope of ability, give full play to the strength of the team to the limit, and have tactical changes and arrangements at the same time.
Chinese fans are frantically discussing the possibility of Qatar being disqualified on social media.
Of course, we will not remain optimistic about the situation. After all, Qatar's bribery to win the right to host the world cup has long been well known.
Moreover, the world is black as crows. The scandals broke out by FIFA and UEFA a few years ago made Blatter and Platini go out in disgrace. In addition, the black curtain of the world-famous South American Football Associations in the early years has also been rampant. So far, no one can think that AFC is a clean stream in this turbid world.
In addition, we can only cheer for the Chinese team, but we are worried that Qatar will benefit from the game. After all, people have taken out real gold and silver to play football. The good news is that they annoyed the host. Although Qatar and the United Arab Emirates were one 800 years ago, the current situation may make the final more fair and transparent!
Maybe even AFC doesn't want Qatar to win the championship!
If Qatar wins the title, the report from the host United Arab Emirates is bound to last forever.
But if China wins the championship, Qatar doesn't win the championship anyway. No matter how noisy the UAE is, it won't become a hot topic and attract more attention.
On the evening of January 31, situ Yunbing attended the pre match press conference as usual.
When the Asian media gathered in the final, when situ Yunbing sat down on the stage, a reporter raised his hand to ask him questions.
"What do you think of the UAE's report against Qatar and the expected arbitration results?"
Situ Yunbing shook his head and said, "it's not something I care about. Every place has its own rules. The rules are not made by me. I'm just a member of the game rules. Now AFC has also given a response. I only care about the final tomorrow night."
"Don't you think AFC is protecting Qatar? Put the decision after the Asian Cup final. If the Asian Football Association decides that Qatar is disqualified, if the Chinese team wins the championship tomorrow night, the championship may be cancelled! "
Situ Yunbing said with a smile, "I like a word very much. Jianghu is not fighting and killing. Jianghu is sophisticated.
AFC will weigh the interests of all parties and the impact. Football can be big or small. If it has to make everyone angry, why bother AFC?
I believe AFC will give a satisfactory answer to most people.
As I said, now the Chinese team only focuses on the final tomorrow night! "
The reporters still didn't give up. Someone asked, "don't the Chinese team want to cancel the qualification of moez Ali and Allawi?
Even limiting their qualification to play tomorrow night will be of great help to the Chinese team! "
Situ Yunbing shook his head and said, "I don't know what you want me to do. I'm just a football coach. I don't want to participate in any disputes. My job is to lead my team to beat my opponent and win the game. If you promise me, Qatar has done something wrong, As long as I participate in the complaint, I can win the game for the Chinese team. As long as someone can guarantee to give the champion to the Chinese team, I will do it.
But now I only see a media feast. You want more people to participate. As for what participants will get, you don't care.
You can raise this to the moral level and fair spirit level of competitive sports, but I still want to lead the team against Qatar tomorrow. My time is not unlimited and my energy is not unlimited. More importantly, I must keep my team calm and focused. I can't distract them. If you can stand in my position, You will know that now I don't want to participate in the UAE's accusation against Qatar, even if we will have the Asian Cup final against Qatar tomorrow night!
My responsibility has not changed, and no one has informed me that tomorrow night's game will be cancelled or other changes will take place. You can add fuel to the flames, fan the flames and add fuel to the vinegar. I understand that you are just doing your own work, but please let me do my own work! "
The Asian journalists at the scene immediately stopped.
Situ Yunbing's words have already been mentioned. If he is more aggressive, he will lack respect.
As the UAE reported the incident in Qatar, the focus of the outside world on the finals has shifted from the competition itself to other aspects, such as football politics, football scandals, football interests and so on.
But these have little to do with the simplest essence of the game itself.
Situ Yunbing left the pre match press conference with some disappointment.
He always believes that the more backward football is, the more we should focus on the most essential elements of football!
Is Asian Football strong?
The world ranks according to seniority. Asian football is definitely at the middle and lower reaches!
Looking up at Europe, catching up with South America, and occasionally being educated by North America or Africa.
Don't get involved in football in this position. No matter what you want to do, kick the ball first!
