Chinese captain Wang Daray did not easily accept China's elimination from the preliminary round.

China won 1-0 in the 10th Group C match against Bahrain in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup at Longxing Football Stadium in Chongqing, China on the 10th (Korea time). China, which has already failed to advance to the fourth qualifying round, succeeded in escaping to the bottom of the group in the final match.

Chinese soccer was eliminated without even advancing to the fourth qualifying round, even though the World Cup expanded to 48 countries. It was the third qualifying round that showed that the level of Chinese soccer is not improving at all, but the Chinese players' thoughts are completely different.




After the game, Daray won the game, but it's a pity that he couldn't advance to the fourth qualifying round due to a three-point difference. We had the ability to play in the fourth qualifying round. Looking back at the games against Saudi Arabia and Indonesia, in fact, they didn't have much opportunity either. It was just one penalty. I won't make any further evaluationsSaudi Arabia and Indonesia barely won against China and advanced to the fourth round of World Cup qualifiers.

Daray's claim is not true. Daray's words sound like Saudi Arabia and Indonesia were lucky enough to beat China and reach the fourth qualifying round, but the reality is the opposite.

China lost 0-1 in the seventh round of the qualifying round against Saudi Arabia, but it was disastrous when looking at the details of the game. China only had four shots against Saudi Arabia, and there was no shot on target. In contrast, Saudi Arabia attempted 19 shots and made only seven effective shots. It was fortunate that China did not lose by a wider gap thanks to goalkeeper Daray's good defense show.

In the last match against Indonesia, China was also behind in terms of content. China is trailing 13-5 in shooting numbers. Indonesia's winning goal was a penalty, but it was a strange mistake by China to concede the penalty.

During the World Cup qualifying round, China was also strongly criticized for its style by former Indonesian coach Shin Tae-yong. When China beat Indonesia 2-1, coach Shin Tae-yong strongly criticized after the game, saying, `I didn't know that China would play such a dung ball soccer.' China won the game, but Indonesia had an overwhelming 76-24 share and also had a 14-5 lead in the number of shots.

According to Daray's claim, China also won little different from Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. China won the match with a penalty shot just before the end of the match after playing hard as they failed to take advantage of their chances at home against Bahrain. If it wasn't for that penalty, China would have remained at the bottom of the group.

China's performance was serious throughout the third qualifying round, as the victory over Bahrain was also thanks to Zhang Winning's theater goal in the second half extra time. It is wrong to say that China, which had the most losses in the third qualifying round with North Korea in the first place, deserves to advance to the fourth qualifying round.
