China News Agency, Beijing, November 21 (Hao Lingyu) in the opening battle of the 2022 World Cup, which ended in the early morning of the 21st, Beijing time, the host Qatar team broke the myth of “the host’s first battle undefeated” with a loss of 0:2, facing the fate of “the worst host in history.

In the past 21 World Cup, the host’s first battle was almost invincible. Whether it is the traditional strong teams such as Italy and France, or the host teams such as Russia and South Africa, they can all retreat in the first World Cup.

Before the opening of this World Cup, Qatar ranked 50th in the latest world ranking, while their rival doer ranked 44th. Compared with the Dutch team, which ranked 8th in the world and the African champion team of Senegal, which ranked 18th in the world in the same group, the coach of Qatar, sanchese, was obviously more confident in defeating the “devil of the Plateau, before the match, he said bluntly that he should” prove that his team is a powerful team “.

Although Qatar team used the usual formation and mature class, they obviously failed to bring the good status of winning the Asian Cup in 2019 to the World Cup premiere when they first stepped onto the top stage of football. On the other hand, his opponent, Ji doer, mastered the rhythm of the match at the beginning. The veteran Valencia penetrated the gate of Qatar three times in the match, and finally helped the team beat Qatar 2:0 with the latter two effective goals, get the World Cup “good start”.

In the history of the World Cup, Qatar is not the first host to lag behind in the final circle. The Russian team, the host of the 2018 World Cup, ranked at the bottom of the top 32, but won the Saudi Arabia team 5:0 in the first battle. With the second record of the 2-win and 1-negative Group, in the 1/8 final, the Spanish team broke into the top eight; In the 2010 World Cup, the host South Africa team encountered the Central American Team Mexico in the first battle, and drew a level with the opponent while scoring a goal first, although they failed to taste the victory, they also sent no small trouble to their opponents.

In contrast, the first defeat of the host Qatar is somewhat surprising. Before the game, the two stars, Yates Ali and Akram Afev, who were given high hopes, performed flat on armeau. They not only failed to score goals, but also ate a yellow card; the defensive line that has been running in for many years not only failed to stage a wonderful defensive counterattack, but also made many mistakes, which made the Ecuadorian people repeatedly penetrate and succeed; The data of 5 shots and 0 shots, it also highlights the embarrassment that this team, which lacks experience in the World Cup, is hard to find the state of competition.

The host’s first undefeated gold body was broken, and the Qatar team urgently needed to find the elegant demeanour of the 2019 Asian Cup champion. Facing the Asian traditional strong teams such as Japan, South Korea and Iran, which were generally favored before the game, the Qatar team at that time withstood the pressure inside and outside the stadium and gave full play to its own level. In the final, facing the strong enemy, they lost the burden of “wanting to win, afraid of losing” and won the championship with 3:1 Nike Japan.

“Although they have prepared for this for 12 years, their understanding of the World Cup needs to be deeper.” This media comment may be the key to Qatar’s defeat.

In the next game, Qatar team may find it difficult to score points on the African champion of Senegal and the “uncrowned king” Dutch team. This young team, who entered final table for the first time, should take this “desperate situation” to throw off all the burdens, pick up your mind again, enjoy football, and enjoy the World Cup stage that may only be once for some players in their lives.

In the 2010 World Cup, the host South Africa team also faced many strong enemies in the same group. Although they failed to rush out of the group match, they defeated the French team and beat the Mexican team. They left a memorable memory for their fans with a score of 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss in the group match. Fans expect this Asian team to finish this World Cup journey without regret. (Finished)
