After this investigation, I found out that the original national football team also came from the World Cup preliminaries group stage and made it all the way to the knockout rounds.

Finally, when they played all their games in the finals, their results were 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, ranking second, with 7 points (2-point system).

Behind the Chinese team is New Zealand, which only has 4 points, two games in hand, and is still five points behind on goal difference. Their remaining two opponents are Kuwait, who have secured a qualifying spot in advance, and they were eliminated early without winning a game.

Saudi Arabia, which was eliminated, played both games away from home.

At this time, the Football Association's fault came. They felt that New Zealand had no hope of advancing. They actually allowed the national team to disband on the spot and take a vacation to celebrate "reaching the 1982 World Cup" in advance. Even the report of claiming credit was submitted to the Ministry of Sports in advance.

But what happened next made all the Chinese people not expect that Kuwait, which had locked a qualifying spot in advance, tied with New Zealand at home in a very tacit understanding.

Originally, this didn't matter. The national football team was still two points ahead of New Zealand. As long as New Zealand couldn't win five goals in the last game against Saudi Arabia, the Chinese team could still qualify.

But the result of this battle finally made the Chinese people who had just opened their eyes to see the world understand the dangers of this world. After the opening, Saudi Arabia continuously wasted excellent scoring opportunities. In the first fifteen minutes, it once faced an empty goal ten meters away from the gate.

The kick went out of the baseline; the other time was on the right side of the goal, seven or eight meters away from the goal, also facing an empty goal. As a result, a ground ball was inexplicably pushed and was blocked out of bounds by the New Zealand defender who was filling in.

It's okay to waste consecutive scoring opportunities like this, but the Saudi team, which was obviously ineffective on the defensive end, actually allowed New Zealand to score 5 goals in a row between the 15th and 30th minutes.

This is why all fools know there is a problem. It is understandable that five goals were scored in one game, but if you were given five goals in 15 minutes, is this really a joke?

On one occasion, the Saudi goalkeeper even watched the incoming ball that should have been within reach go into the net without making any action to catch the ball. Another time, he deliberately attacked to create a point and "pounced" the ball to one side two seconds in advance.

All the old ladies know that the Chinese team has been clearly arranged by others.

New Zealand led Saudi Arabia 5-0 away from home in the first half. In the second half, the two sides seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, basically just symbolic back and forth in the midfield. The game ended with a very humorous 5-0.

At this time, even fools could understand what was going on. The Saudi team was worried that it would directly defeat the Chinese team, and FIFA might investigate this kind of blatant match-fixing.

But if the Chinese team is allowed to play New Zealand in a play-off, no matter how poor the acting is, the AFC and FIFA will not help China stand out. No matter how fake their acting is, it doesn't matter.

After New Zealand won this ugly game, its points and goal difference were coincidentally exactly the same as those of the Chinese team. The two teams needed to play a play-off to determine the last World Cup qualifying spot.

However, at this time, the Chinese team had already been on vacation for a month, and the players were preparing for the Spring Festival. They hurriedly regrouped to prepare for the game. In the end, they lost to New Zealand 1-2 in Singapore, and were only one step away from qualifying for the World Cup.

After Wu Jie found this information, what else could he say besides sighing?

This is the body and football association that he is familiar with!

Many things are actually not impossible to prevent, but the Football Association never disappoints!

"But this time with me, I want to see who plays whom!"

After Wu Jie saw the names of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, an interesting idea suddenly came to his mind, and a vicious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
