China News Service, Doha, November 29th issue: Qatar team went home with their beloved football
China News Service reporter Xing Hao
Football, which originally meant that England team brought football back to Britain, its modern birthplace, it means to return with a reputation, but many fans have played with it and understood it as elimination. The first “home” team in this World Cup was the host Qatar, which surprised many people.
The opening battle 0:2 lost to Ecuador, broke the World Cup “the host first battle undefeated” law, “life and death battle” 1:3 lost to Senegal, confirmed the bad luck of getting out in advance, on the honor bound of 29th, it was even harder to defend “honor” by losing to Holland at 0:2 “. Qatar lost all three games, thus ending the first World Cup competition at home.
It is hard to say that the Qatar Team “goes home” is “going back with Fame”. Many people joked that Qatar had hit a $220 billion gold tournament, but it had achieved “the worst host in history” on the court “.
The Catalans believe that as the champion of the new Asia Cup, their team should perform better. Although it was written down on their faces, they still supported it without hesitation-the match between Qatar and Holland on the 29th was held at the Gulf Stadium about 60 kilometers north of Doha, approaching 6 p.m, the expressway leading to the stadium was still blocked.
The most frequently asked question for the head coach of Qatar is how to face the people of Qatar. The Meritorious coach who has coached Qatar for many years and sent it to the Asian Championship has the name of Qatar’s “Godfather of football. He said that the World Cup would end, but football would continue.
In fact, the development of Qatar football has been called rapid. Qatar did not officially participate in football matches until it was near the independence of the country in 1970. In the past less than 20 years, thanks to the successful implementation of policies such as domestication and youth training, qatar has completed the transformation from Asia to first-class and even Asian champions.
At the same time, football has also been printed into the life of Qatar. On the beach by the sea, in the desert along the expressway, in the streets and alleys of bustling downtown, you can often see three or five groups of football teenagers. A Qatar told reporters that the weather here is hot and there are not many sports that people can carry out. Football allows everyone to enjoy the fun of sports.
Enjoy the joy brought by football purely, perhaps this is the image that the Qatar people expect to show to the outside world. Just like the Qatar teenager Ganim Mufta who suffered from congenital caudal degeneration syndrome at the opening ceremony, although he had no lower limbs, he learned to juggling with other parts of his body and enjoy the simplest fun of football.
Qatar was originally a football desert, and now it has ushered in the world’s top events. Perhaps what the Qatar people expect is not only the debut of their national team in the center of the world football stage, but also to show a brand-new image to the world.
Although the stadium was frustrated, the Qatar team deserved a “fair competition reward”. In this Cup, the host did not receive special care from the referee. In the match against Senegal, the referee on duty even refused to look back at VAR (video assistant referee) and sentenced Qatar to a suspected penalty kick.
Qatar’s current strength is not enough to win the World Cup, but in the next 20 years, they may still be able to change again.
The Qatar Team went home with the football they loved. In the World Cup at home, Qatar team can only pass by in a hurry, but they are not just passers-by, because football enthusiasm has been ignited in this Middle East desert. (Finished)
