The Chinese national team was abandoned even by its own media.
The Chinese media is also heavily criticizing the Chinese women's soccer team, which failed to advance to the finals of the Paris Olympics.
The women's national soccer team, led by coach Colin Bell, was unable to protect Shim Seo-yeon's opening goal and drew 1-1 with China in the '2024 Paris Olympics Asia 2nd qualifying round' held at Egret Stadium in Xiamen, China on the afternoon of the 1st.
With 1 win and 2 draws, South Korea (5 points, +9) fell behind North Korea (2 wins, 1 draw, 7 points, +8), falling to second place in Group B and being eliminated from the second preliminary round. China, with 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss, was eliminated in 3rd place.
The second qualifying round in the Asian region is underway with 12 teams divided into three groups. The top three teams from each group and the top two teams from each group advance to the third preliminary round. The owner of the two tickets to Paris will be decided through the third preliminary round of the tournament held in February next year.
The shock waves for Chinese soccer, which prided itself on being the strongest in Asia, are even greater. It seems that the national media has also abandoned the national team as their ability to advance to the Paris Olympics, which they thought they would definitely go to, was thwarted. He urged the national team to take responsibility and self-reflect.
Chinese portal site ‘Suho’ said, “My face was really red. Chinese women's soccer drew 1-1 with Korea, which was one level lower, and both teams failed to advance to the Olympics. This is the second time that China has failed to participate in the Olympics. I was really surprised by this humiliating moment. “It’s a truly embarrassing moment,” he criticized.
