Round of 18 finale: national football team vs Bahrain to avoid the honor battle at the bottom of Group C Wang Yudong wears No. 10

At 19 o'clock in the evening of June 10, Beijing time, the top 18 of the Asian region of the World Preliminary Championship ushered in the final battle, but this is an honor game for the national football team that missed the 2026 US-Canada-Mexico World Cup in advance of 1 round, and the national football team faced Bahrain at Chongqing Longxing Football Stadium, which is also to avoid the bottom of Group C.

National football team vs Bahrain, the highlights of the game are as follows:

First:Situation of both teams！ After 9 rounds of the round of 18, the national football team has 2 wins and 7 losses, 6 points, -14 goal difference, ranking at the bottom; Bahrain has 1 win, 3 draws, 5 losses, 6 points, -10 goal difference, and is in fifth place. The national football team is ranked 94th in the world and 14th in Asia, with a total value of 11.18 million euros; Bahrain is ranked 84th in the world and 12th in Asia, with a total team value of 8.6 million euros. Both teams have already been eliminated by one round early, and this game is the battle to decide who is the worst team in Group C, also known as the battle of honor.

Second:Changes in the personnel of the national football team！ Cao Yongjing and Zhu Chenjie are injured, and naturalized players Hou Yongyong, Liu Zhurun, and Yang Mingyang are on the 23-man list of the game, among which the supernova Zhejiang striker Wang Yudong, who was born in the Chinese Super League this season, will wear the No. 10 jersey of the national football team. The 71-year-old Ivankovic is a bastard coach, but now the Football Association cannot decide on the dismissal, so Ivankovic will continue to coach the national football team to play at least the final game of the round of 18. Whether this campaign is a rookie training, or to avoid the bottom of Group C and continue to be the strongest senior team to win Bahrain, everyone needs to pay attention to the starting situation. This campaign is of little significance for the future development of the Chinese men's football team, regardless of whether it wins or loses, whether the national football team can be successfully updated in the next few years is an important goal. Both the national football team and Bahrain treat their opponents as soft persimmons and want to pinch their opponents to death. However, Ivankovic's diamond-shaped midfielder single back position has always been the Achilles injury of the national football team, and the first leg of the national football team's 1-0 away victory over Bahrain is actually more of a luck component. Therefore, this battle will be a close game, the strength of the two teams is not good, the randomness of the game is full, the result is not easy to guess, and the cheesy point is the feeling of rookies pecking each other, but the national football team occupies the home field and will definitely strive to win.

The two sides have played each other in the past 6 times, and the national football team has won 2 and drawn 4, remaining undefeated!

The battle of honor is also an honor, and the national football team is still coming on! I also hope that the national football team will start the work of changing the coach as soon as possible, at least change a younger coach, it is good for the 70+ year-old to live and take care of himself, how can he have the energy to lead the team to train and formulate tactics, and always play the world with a single back and a set of formations in the diamond-shaped midfield.
