The World Cup is another big upset, and all the big upsets that have broken out at present are "exclusive to Asia".
Such comments by the European media are somewhat unwilling and reluctant.
After the Saudi team from Asia defeated the world champion Argentina 2-/kloc-0-,on the evening of 23rd, the Japanese team reversed another world champion and a strong European team Germany by the same score.
Japan reversed Germany.
Prior to this, when Japan faced Germany in the international arena, its best record was a draw. Therefore, the Japanese media believed on the 23rd that this was the most fantastic start for the Japanese team since its participation in the World Cup, and it was likely to break through the "group of death" considered by the outside world.
At present, South Korea, another strong football team in Asia, is facing Uruguay, a strong south American team, and the result remains to be seen.
Asian teams have ushered in the highlights of this World Cup, and Saudi Arabia and Japan are celebrating crazily. Many China fans lamented: When will it be us?

Saudi Arabia defeated Argentina, the former world cup champion, in a historic way, and the whole country rejoiced. A day later, Japan, another strong Asian team, unexpectedly defeated Germany, which won the cup four times, by 2-/kloc-0.
This is also the second time that Germany lost to Asia in the World Cup. 20 18 World Cup in Russia, South Korea defeated Germany in one fell swoop, keeping Germany out of 16. At that time, the German team was already holding its breath. Four years later, Germany is ready to avenge its last defeat by an Asian team in FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 in 2022.
I didn't expect to lose to Japan in the first game.
Germany was defeated by Japan in the first game.
Agence France-Presse reported that the protest came before the game, and then it was a fiasco on the field: Germany demonstrated its strength of "all-round protection of human rights" in Qatar, but lost to Japan with 1-2 and fell from a high position.
In the following match, Spain in the same group beat Costa Rica 7-0. Agence France-Presse said that Germany, which is in the "death group", is now in an extremely dangerous situation and faces the fate of being eliminated from the group stage.
Many years ago, soccer world champions like Germany and Argentina didn't value Asian teams.
When Germany and Argentina lifted the World Cup, Japan was still fighting for a ticket to the World Cup finals.
Doha, Qatar was once a sad place for Japanese football.
1993101On October 28th, Japan played against Iraq in Doha. At that time, as long as Japan won the game, it would be able to advance to the World Cup in the United States for the first time in history.
However, after leading the game, the Japanese team suffered a 2-2 draw in injury time. I didn't buy tickets for the World Cup in America.
This was called "Doha tragedy" by the Japanese media at that time.
Twenty-nine years later, the Japanese team came to Doha again, and Hajime Moriyasu, the head coach of the Japanese team, happened to be a witness to the Doha tragedy 29 years ago. But this time, he led the Japanese team to refuse to repeat the tragedy and brought victory to Japan.
Twenty years ago, the gap between Saudi Arabia and Germany in the World Cup once greatly increased the confidence of European teams in the face of Asia.
In the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, Saudi Arabia lost 0-8 to Germany. At that time, the German team hit Saudi Arabia in all directions. Even at that time, some media said that the crushing of Germany would leave Saudi Arabia with a psychological shadow for some time.
However, 30 years later, the football world is changing. Europe and South America, once regarded as the center of world football, collided with Asia on the edge of world football, which surprised the world.
Even Japan has won the appreciation of onlookers. According to "India Today" and some Middle Eastern media reports, the Japanese players cleaned the dressing room very clean after their reversal victory over Germany. After the game, Japanese fans took out bags to clean up the garbage such as mineral water bottles left by the stadium and won praises from local fans and netizens on social media.
Japanese Prime Minister kishida fumio also congratulated the victory. He said in an interview: "I watched the match between Japan and Germany on TV last night, and the Japanese team won a wonderful victory. During the game, the whole team rallied together and fought bravely. I was deeply impressed by the strategy of the head coach. "
Japanese netizens complained on social media why the Japanese government didn't order a national holiday like Saudi Arabia.
When European media were surprised that Germany lost to Japan in the first Asian World Cup, they also began to reflect on why this happened. According to European media reports, 1 1 Japanese starters have long-term experience in playing in Europe, among which 7 players have played in Germany or once, while 20 players in the big list have played in Europe.
Isn't this China's famous saying, "Learn from foreigners to control foreigners"?
Of course, although a victory has created the history of Saudi Arabia and Japan respectively, there is still a difficult way for the two teams to break through the top 16 and rewrite history again.

However, many fans and experts said that they were not surprised by comments such as "unexpected" and the praise of "Light of Asia".
Wang Dawei, a senior reporter from the People's Daily, told Mendao that the football level in Saudi Arabia and Japan did not achieve a leap at once, but only made progress step by step on the right road.
For example, Japanese football, its development is in the last thirty or forty years.
Japan J League Game 1 1993. Three years later, Saburo Kawaguchi put forward the centennial plan of Japanese football. Japan also gave a vision of winning the World Cup in 2050. At that time, many people still thought it was too high, but at present, it is getting closer and closer to this goal.

Many people in China have mixed feelings when they see that the gap between Japanese football level and ours is widening. The documentary "Chasing the Ball in Japan" produced by 20 16 tries to answer "Why does Japanese football work?" .
For example, its youth training system. Japan has always adhered to the "national football" and implemented the dual-track model of "campus football+club youth training" on this basis.
In Japanese campus, physical education is an important means of education. Among them, football is not a special course, but exists as an extracurricular activity together with other sports such as judo.
Therefore, Japanese children can fully enjoy the happiness brought by sports, and then choose whether to take football as a hobby in the future or to enter a middle school where campus football develops better and continue to receive more training.
According to incomplete statistics, the population of soccer under U 12 in Japan exceeds 300,000, the registered number of U 12-U 15 is nearly 250,000, and the registered number of U 15-U 18 is nearly 70,000.
With such a huge football population base and a gradual training system, it is not surprising that the top of the Japanese football talent pyramid is getting higher and higher.
According to the statistics of Germany's "transfer market" last season, the number of Japanese players in Europe reached 45 1, of which 250 were in the German league. On the list of Japanese teams participating in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, there are 19 people playing in the European League, and 7 of them play for the Bundesliga team.
From bottom to top, the objective development law of football is the soil to cultivate the benign development of football.
The football foundation of Middle Eastern countries is much worse than ours. Wang Dawei said that their progress is due to their subjective understanding of the nature of the sport, and the way to develop football conforms to the basic laws of the sport.
Think back to that year.
At 1982, Saudi Arabia was defeated by China, and now Saudi Arabia can also defeat such a first-class team.
That's Argentina. We dare not even think about it. Wang Dawei said that in 40 years, we have lost all confidence. Why are they making such rapid progress? "I don't think it's a question of how fast progress is made, but that they respect the objective law of football development."
The development of our football seems to be moving in the opposite direction.
We have put forward the saying of "starting with dolls". Wang Dawei said that in fact, we should not "start from the dolls", but let the dolls enjoy football and feel the beauty of football carefree. People who are truly talented and like football should take professional advice. Instead of selecting some young people from an early age, I hope they can grow into "elites", which is not in line with the law of football development.
For example, Wang Dawei said that a 7-year-old girl was valued by the coach and left school to practice in a professional sports school every day. Seven years later, her classmates went to middle school, and she boarded the highest Olympic podium. This man's name is Quan Hongchan. This practice of cultivating talents is not feasible in the field of football. It can't be said that if all the red cards are added together, our football can play the World Cup.
Football, an activity that requires a team, requires a group of people to play together on the court, and it is difficult for these people to grow up in a league composed of countless such groups for a long time.
Wang Dawei believes that what we need to cultivate is the soil and environment of football. It is best to adopt a socialized way to gather people who like this sport through donations, contributions and suggestions to form a benign atmosphere for football development.
In other words, to develop our football, we need to understand the objective law of football development from the bottom up and take the road that a football power and a football progressive country have taken.

Although there is no China team in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, many people have noticed another kind of existence of Qatar's "China team", another kind of "China color".
"China is the first, the world is the second", the slogan of Hisense Group caught fire in the opening match of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 in 2022. China enterprises such as Wanda, Mengniu and VIVO have also become the largest sponsors of this World Cup with a total sponsorship of 65.438+39.5 billion US dollars, exceeding the sponsorship of 65.438+0.1billion US dollars of American enterprises such as Coca-Cola and McDonald's.
The advertising language of Hisense Group is on fire.
From souvenirs to stadium construction, "Made in China" can be seen everywhere in Qatar.
Lourseyre Stadium is the largest stadium in Qatar, with a building area of 1.95 million square meters, which can accommodate 80,000 people at the same time. It is also the largest, most complex system, the highest design standard, the most advanced technology and the highest degree of internationalization in the world.
Lourseyre Stadium was built by China Railway Construction International Group, which is the first World Cup stadium project undertaken by China enterprises as the general contractor of design and construction. China Railway Construction International Group co-ordinated 1 10 large subcontracting enterprises in more than 20 countries, and completed the construction of this landmark building in 2 1 18 days.
Hassan Al-Savady, Secretary-General of the Organizing Committee of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, said that the completion of the stadium proved the technical ability and service level of China enterprises. Some scholars praised it, which shows that China enterprises have the technology and strength to provide a complete set of China products, China technology and China solutions for the design and construction of the world's top sports events.
It can be said that China won the bid for the construction of Qatar 2022 Stadium in the FIFA World Cup.
In addition, around the "Buy in buy" activities of the World Cup, about 60% of the world's jerseys, flags, markers, hats, backpacks and other commodities come from China. Among them, most of them are "made in Yiwu".
China enterprises also successfully won the bid for the Qatar 2022 World Cup service car project. Qatar imported about 1.500 buses from China, including 888 pure electric buses, accounting for more than 30% of the total number of vehicles operated in the World Cup. This is the first time that a large number of new energy buses from China have been introduced into international large-scale sports events, and it is also the first time that pure electric buses have become the main force of the World Cup.
China enterprises also provided more than 654.38+00000 sets of container houses for Qatari fans to live in.
In terms of water and electricity security for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, China enterprises also helped. Qatar has built 15 super-large reservoirs in China, some of which were built by China Nengjian Gezhouba Group. China enterprises have also built an 800 MW photovoltaic power station in Alcazar, Qatar.
The "China Team" composed of "Made in China" and "Made in China" has become a beautiful landscape of this year's FIFA Qatar 2022 World Cup. However, for fans, what they want to see more is that China football players appear in the World Cup.
According to the usual practice, the China Football Association will organize a World Cup observation delegation to study and exchange at the competition site, and the top management of the Football Association will also actively consult with FIFA and AFC officials on the future development of football in China.
They can experience the changes of six teams representing Asia, namely Iran, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
Football in China must keep pace with the times, follow the objective laws of football development, and conduct all-round exchanges and docking with Asian football and world football, just like other football-advanced countries.
After all, after 1 year, the first battle of China's men's soccer team to attack the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico will start.
The picture comes from the internet.
