Beijing time on February 18th, FIFA announced the FIFA national team rankings, this is also the first FIFA rankings in 2021. Compared with 2020, Chinese men's football has no changes, including points and rankings. Chinese men's football ranks 75th in the world and 9th in Asia.
Some netizens have asked why the ranking and points of the Chinese men's football team have not changed? Because the last FIFA ranking was released on December 20 last year. For nearly two months, the Chinese men's football team did not have a game, so the points and rankings will naturally not change.
The Chinese men's football team did not have many matches due to the new crown epidemic last year. There are no competitions in Asia. The only way for the Chinese men's football team to maintain its status is to play against the Chinese Super League or Chinese Football Club. The Chinese men's football team won all the 6 warm-up matches, but fans know that these 6 matches are meaningless. After all, most of these teams are average. The Chinese men's football team wants to improve themselves, and must experience, improve and polish with the Asian and even the world's strong teams.
Let’s take a look at the rankings of other Asian men’s football teams. In Asia, Japan is still a well-deserved hegemon, ranking first in Asia. Iran followed closely behind, ranking second. South Korea, Australia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, UAE, China, and Syria rank 3-10. It is worth mentioning that the Chinese men's football ranking surpassed Syria this time, and most Chinese fans are no strangers to this opponent. In the World Cup qualifiers that year, China lost 1:2 to Syria, which was a shame.
Syria was in a state of war at the time, but the Chinese men's football team still couldn't play. This shows the huge gap between the strength and will of the two sides. Even if the Chinese men's football ranks higher than Syria, but no fans would think that we can easily beat them. Across Asia, China is still in a relatively weak state. Even the Asian teams ranked 11-20, the Chinese men's football team is not sure to win a few of them. The rankings of several other teams related to China: Chinese Taipei ranks 138th, and Asia ranks 26th. Hong Kong, China ranked 143th, and Asia ranked 27th.Macau, China ranks 182nd, and Asia ranks 37th.
There is no change in the ranking of the top 32 teams worldwide. Belgium ranked first, France, Brazil, England, Portugal, Spain, Argentina, Uruguay, Mexico, and Italy ranked 2-9. Germany and the Netherlands are two veteran teams ranked 12th and 13th in the world respectively.
In 2021, when the epidemic is not developing for a good trend, the Chinese men's football team must find a way to maintain its own state. Without being able to communicate with other strong teams, the Chinese men's football team needs to strengthen basic training, strengthen skills and tactics, and improve their will. Chinese fans have been waiting for too long, eager for the national football team to play in the World Cup again, but at this moment how long it takes to wait. When will the Chinese men's football team break out of Asia? Ranking ninth is a shameful number for us. The Chinese men's football needs to cheer.
