Calmness-Mindset Needed for Chinese Football Team in Its Rush for World Cup
The Chinese team and all those concerned about the Chinese football games heard a piece of good news on the morning of September 29, in the Asian "top 10" B group match of the World Cup football preliminaries, the Qatar team was tenaciously forced to a draw by the Uzbekistan team.
For the Chinese team, the glorious brigade that had just concluded its West Asia tour, this meant that as long as it can triumph over the Oman team in Shenyang on October 7, the Chinese team will be qualified the World Cup two rounds ahead of time.
For this reason, many football fans, including even some personages in the football circle, have begun over the past few days to make preparations for celebrations, some individuals and individual departments have even now held various activities, as if the Chinese team has fulfilled the heavy task of dashing into the World Cup for the first time.
As a matter of fact, it is not sensible to have such a psyche, it is the most clever to keep a calm mindset.
We do not deny that if the Chinese team becomes qualified, even if this is not achieved ahead of time, all the Chinese have every reason to drink to their hearts' content and happily celebrate the victory. But at present, the Chinese team still has to engage in three matches, in the past we had had the bitter experience of "failing to reach Rome just because of a wrong step", if a carnival is held too early, the team members may possibly be infected unnaturally, and that will be unhelpful for the national football team members to give full reign to their potential in their competition with the Omen team. In addition, inline with the principle of showing respect for each opponent, it is inappropriate to prepare for celebration and hold carnival earlier than planned.
The maturity and progress of the Chinese team is evident to everybody. This is manifest not only in the display of their technique and tactics and their valiant struggle, but also especially in the improvement of their psychological quality and certainty of victory, this all the more causes people to look at this national team with different eyes. After gaining the desirable achievement of 13 scores accumulated through four wins and one draw, many people, including some media and fans, were filled with confidence, some people even uttered the words "it is hard for the Chinese team not to become qualified, if this is what it wants", this voice will, more or less, exert psychological influence on the Chinese national team members.
Psychological stability is one of the important reasons explaining why the Chinese national team became the champion after going through five matches. If this "sharp weapon" is lost in the confrontation with the Oman team, then, nobody dares to say the Chinese team will be one hundred percent sure of victory, then it will be difficult to ascertain what will be the result of subsequent games. Just as the analysis made before the match by some authoritative personages in the football circle: the various teams that have broken into the "top 10" ranks are almost the same in strength, no team is absolutely certain to say that it can defeat whichever team it wants to. In this sense, in the October 7 competition, and even in the subsequent two matches, the Chinese team members should continue to set their psyche right and maintain the "qualities" which have been formed gradually. This is another achievement gained by the Chinese football team from the "the top 10 matches".
Under the meticulous guidance of its foreign coach, the Chinese team did not see the appearance of the "black three minutes" in the decisive match, an evidence of this is the contest between the Chinese team and Qatar team, as well as the match between the Chinese team and the UAE team. We have no doubt about this. The Chinese team does have been increasingly able to set people's minds at rest, but the greatest suspense of football match is the uncertainty about the result of the match.
Therefore, we should all the more have a quiet mind and magnanimity at the advent of victory, only then will we be able to better have our destiny in our own hands and laugh last.
