Chinese soccer has a glimmer of hope for advancing to the North-China U.S. World Cup finals.

On the 31st of last month (local time), the Chinese portal 'Sina Dotcom' delivered good news for the Chinese national soccer team to the public, citing Indonesian media reports.

In June, it was about the Indonesian goalkeeper problem, the opponent of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup.




According to reports, Marton Paz (FC Dallas), Indonesia's main goalkeeper and naturalized player, cannot play against China due to cumulative warnings due to time delays in last month's match against Bahrain (1-0 win).

In September last year, Pas was warned once in an away match (1-1 draw) in Saudi Arabia. Pas is a key resource that has played all the games in the third qualifying round for this World Cup.

'Sina.COM' predicted that the absence of Pas is a very important advantage for the Chinese national team.

On top of that, Emil Audero (Como), who recently became a naturalized citizen, is also likely not to be able to play in the China match.

Audero is currently a member of como and plays for palermo on loan. Palermo, currently seventh in Serie B, is likely to advance to the promotion playoff qualifying round (5th to 8th). The problem is that the playoff schedule only ends on June 1.

'Sina.Com.' means that if Oudero enters the playoffs, there are only two days to prepare for the match against China. Indonesia is preparing for a long training camp ahead of the match against China, so it is likely that Audero, who was the last one to join the team, will be excluded from the squad.'"




For this reason, Indonesian media observe that Indonesia will use Hermando Ari (Persevaya Surabaya), the third goalkeeper, in the ninth round of the third qualifying round against China on June 5.

The Indonesian goalkeeper made a serious mistake in the second qualifying match against Iraq (0-2). His market value is 275,000 euros (about 437 million won), the lowest among Indonesian national team goalkeepers, and his height is only 1m77. China will be able to make the most of the weaknesses of the smallest goalkeeper, he said.

The market value of Pas and Audero is 1.8 million euros (about 2.864 billion won) and 5 million euros (about 7.95 billion won), respectively.

Indonesia will then enter the third qualifying round and use a new goalkeeper for the first time. It's probably unimaginable in other countries. He naturalized two of Asia's best goalkeepers, but missed the opportunity to play against China. This time, God helped the Chinese national team 'Hope Circuit'

China remains at the bottom of Group C with two wins, six losses and six points in the third qualifying round for this World Cup. In March, he lost two straight A matches in two consecutive games and failed to go straight to the finals. The remaining possibility is to win tickets for the fourth qualifying round, which is given to the third to fourth places in each group, and to do so, we have to somehow pull out the fourth-place Indonesia (nine points). The difference between China and Indonesia is currently three points, and the difference between gains and losses is seven goals. If we don't win the match against Indonesia, there's no future. However, there is no way that China should score a goal in Indonesia's weak goal.
