“No sense of honor, no fighting spirit.”

Chinese fans are furious at the backward performance of the Chinese men’s national soccer team.

China conceded a goal 14 minutes into the second half of a friendly against Syria at the Phoenix Mountain Sports Park in Chengdu on Dec. 12, despite a 17-3 shot advantage (7-1 on goal).아톰카지노

Angry Chinese fans then booed their team’s players and demanded refunds. Officials counted only 12,367 fans in the 60,000-capacity stadium.

China has only won four A-match games against teams outside the top 90 in the world in the past two years. China is ranked 78th in the FIFA rankings, while Syria is 89th.

“It’s a disappointing result for us,” said Chinese national team coach Aleksandar Jankovic.

The last time the world’s second most populous nation qualified for a FIFA Men’s World Cup was at the 2022 World Cup in South Korea.

President Xi Jinping wants China to become a soccer superpower and to host and win the World Cup before 2050, but the sport seems to be going backwards.

According to Chinese state-run news website The Paper, stadium footage posted on social media shows Chinese supporters applauding the Syrian players after the game and chanting “what a disgrace” to the home team.

The Chinese national soccer team’s official Weibo account received thousands of angry comments, one of which said the team had “no sense of honor or fighting spirit.”
