China men's football team was the runner-up in the last Asian Cup. Why did you get the third place this time?

First of all, the last Asian Cup of China Men's Football Team, that is, the Asian Cup of 20 1 1, was not the runner-up, but the team did not appear.

Secondly, the classification of the 20 15 Asian Cup was based on the latest FIFA world ranking at that time, and Australia, as the host, was definitely the first seed team. China ranked 10 in Asia in the latest FIFA world ranking at that time, and there were four teams in each file, and China ranked 10 in Asia, so it was finally assigned to the third file.
