China's Sohu reported on the 4th (Korea time) 'The Chinese national soccer team is on the verge of elimination'
China (6 points) is currently at the bottom of Group C of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 World Cup in North and Central America. It is chasing third-place Saudi Arabia (10 points), fourth-place Indonesia (9 points), and fifth-place Bahrain (6 points), but the difference in points is not small. Bahrain (-8), which has the same point, is also far behind in gains and losses (-13). China, which has not even advanced to the World Cup finals since the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, is in desperate need of victory, but it is getting closer to elimination.
Indonesia, the opponent of the ninth game against Indonesia, which will be held on the 5th, is also a burden. Indonesia has been strengthening the Indonesian national team's squad with a tremendous naturalization policy, replacing Shin Tae-yong, appointing Patric Clawibert, and replacing him in January. As many as 19 naturalized players are also included in the training list ahead of the A-match in June, and the Chinese media also expressed concern. Among them, there are not a few players from Europe who have experienced Juventus. For China, it will not be easy to overwhelm Indonesia in terms of power and tactics.

Sohu said 'China has a dark outlook for three reasons. The first is an upgrade of relative power. The second is the influence of the referee. Referee Rustam Rutfulin's halo in Indonesia leads to concerns about the level of judgment. There is also a high possibility that the booing of home fans will influence the Chinese players.
The reason why China fell over the referee is because of its past history. Lutflin played against China and Qatar at the Hangzhou Asian Games. At that time, defender Jang Sun-rong collided with a Qatari player, which led to Rootplin's immediate exit. Chinese media described the decision as if it were an unfair decision. It also pointed out that Indonesia scored nine goals and one run in three games hosted by Rootplin. However, there was no evidence that the decision was advantageous.

Chinese soccer, which is on the verge of being eliminated from the World Cup, has come up with excuses, raising concerns about the match against Indonesia. If they fail to catch Indonesia, they will have to give up on advancing to the World Cup once again.
