1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 12th News Regarding the inspiration that Uzbekistan and Jordan entered the World Cup for the first time in history, the Peninsula Metropolis Daily published an analysis.
Jordan’s economic and football foundation is not as good as other Gulf oil-rich countries, but Prince Ali was elected vice president of FIFA in 2011 and founded the Asian Football Development Program (AFDP), focusing on Asia and the Middle East. The project directly benefited more than 80,000 young people, most of which were refugees, and Jordan, which has received a large number of Palestinian, Iraq and Syrian refugees, naturally also benefited from it. Under the strong promotion of Prince Ali, FIFA has long provided assistance to the Jordan Football Association from infrastructure, talent training to technological upgrading. Relevant data show that Jordan’s population is only 12 million, including millions of Palestinian refugees who have been living in the country for many years. There are now 12 players studying abroad in this Jordanian national team, but half of the players playing in the local league have returned from studying abroad.
Another new Asian army, Uzbekistan, was able to qualify for the two major oil-rich countries in Group A. It seems unexpected, but it is actually the result of years of hard work. Uzbekistan has begun to build a complete youth training system since its defeat in the play-offs in 2005. In recent years, they have completed the Grand Slam achievements of the U17, U20 and U23 Asian Cup championships. Especially, the U23 Asian Cup, which is closest to the adult team, the country’s team has reached at least the semi-finals for four consecutive times, reached the final three times and won the championship once, and has already entered the first echelon of Asian football. In 2024, Uzbekistan won the runner-up in the U23 Asian Cup and was shortlisted for the Olympic men’s football competition for the first time in team history. There are a large number of overseas players who have played in the five major European leagues. Huganov, who plays for Manchester City in the Premier League, has become the main rotation player on the defense line, with a net worth of 35 million euros. In addition, there is Rome striker Shamurodov, who is worth 4 million euros, and Moscow CSKA midfielder Fezulaev, who is worth 8 million euros. Although Uzbekistan scored only 14 goals in the top 18 games in 10 games, he only conceded 7 goals. At first glance, he was also very successful in defense. Moreover, the team has been strong all year round. In the world football trend that emphasizes high-intensity and rapid transformation, as long as he improves his technical and tactical awareness, his successful experience is also worth learning from.
In recent years, many Asian bottom teams in people’s impression have naturalized high-level players through various methods. The Indonesian team is the biggest dark horse in the top 18 games. They have returned one after another in recent years.It has 19 players, most of which are from the Netherlands. It can be said that it has become a “Dutch second team” and has beaten Vietnam three times during the Asian Cup and the round of 36 matches. Although they are not skilled in running-in in this round of 18, Indonesia’s humid climate makes their home advantage more obvious. They scored 5 points (1 win, 2 draw and 1 loss) against two traditional teams, Saudi Arabia and Australia, while the Chinese national football team lost all six games against the top three of the group, and did not have an advantage in direct dialogue with Indonesia (1 win, 1 loss), which made their qualifying situation passive.
After the Chinese national football team missed the World Cup, CCTV also began to review the current situation of Chinese football. According to the video broadcast by CCTV Sports, during a discussion with youth training coaches, Chinese Football Association Chairman Song Kai commented on the current situation of Chinese football: “The national team level has not done well. In the past, we were still technically top in Asia, but now we are in the third and fourth place in Asia, which is even more incomparable to Australia and Japan. The national team level has not done well, because the leader has not done well, which has led to our basic The training and competition goals of the floor (always not reachable), and the construction of the upper floor is not good. We are reflecting. “”Japanese football has been focusing on elite youth training in the past 20 years, not on popularization, and popularization has been achieved for a long time. Elite youth training can be effective. Chinese football! It is not legal, not hardworking, not humble, and not learning! ” “Technology is polished, but it is polished by long-term accumulation. This is the problem we analyze. Our current competition is a bit too many, too chaotic, and there are too few high-quality competitions.”
