At the most critical moment, China made the mistake of underestimating his enemy. On May 19, as long as the home team draws, the group will qualify. However, China lost to the second place in the group with 1:2 and failed to enter the second stage.
It was a dark day for China football, because it missed the excellent opportunity to enter the 1986 World Cup. After the game, about 80 thousand fans who were watching the game broke out in a painful blow. Not only did they overturn the team bus, but even the cars parked on the roadside and even the traffic kiosks were not spared.
After the game, disappointed fans rushed out of the stadium and began to destroy things along the street, including some foreigners' cars. Ceng Xuelin and his team members were forced to hide in the athletes' building for three days, because some fans were talking to them downstairs with beer bottles, and the police did not allow the players and coaches to go downstairs. After that, the fans who vandalized things talked to the president of the Football Association. At that time, the President of the Football Association was Li Fenglou, a veteran football player. The public security organs quickly mobilized. Due to the damage of foreigners' articles in the 5 19 incident, the influence scope expanded rapidly, including foreign media such as Associated Press and AFP, and some smashed fans were detained. Twenty years later, a client who was still a student was interviewed on football night. The client said that he acted irrationally because of anger and group feelings. After the 5 19 incident, the reaction of the fans was characterized as "organized sabotage", but AFP did not agree. According to Agence France-Presse, they commented on the 5 19 incident, saying that "China people have finally started to connect with the world". Before 5 19, there were 65,438 violent incidents caused by football in Europe. No casualties were caused. 5 19 days ago 10, the Heather tragedy broke out in Europe, and 3 1 Juventus fans were attacked and killed by Liverpool fans.
After the 5 19 incident, the remedial measure is to require that such incidents should not happen again in future football matches. Put forward a series of slogans such as "watching the ball in a civilized way". Li Fenglou resigned from the position of the Football Association in June this year, and Yuan Weimin, who created the miracle of women's volleyball in China, became the president of the China Football Association.
That night, China football was covered with a black veil. From then on, China football and the World Cup often passed by, until 200 1, Milu led the South Korean team into the World Cup with a magical schedule, but it was only a faint walk, in vain. Since then, China football has reached the bottom.
Due to the bad social impact caused by 5. 19, head coach Ceng Xuelin also left the national team. Ceng Xuelin recalled in an interview: "5 19 was a nightmare for me. I made two mistakes when I was able to qualify after the draw with Hong Kong. At the preparatory meeting before the game, the leaders will set the tone and draw shame at the meeting. If you want to win, you will win more than two. The players were in a hurry, and the shooting ratio was 28 to 6, and the result was still lost. This ball was the heaviest lesson and blow in my life, and I have never coached the team since then. "
At that time, the women's volleyball team won five consecutive championships, which brought less joy to the Chinese people than a football victory. At that time, the victory of football reflected a strong patriotism. 5. Just after19, many people lost confidence in China football.
It is this black 5. 19, which is just a date for our younger generation of fans, but what is more important to me is the pain brought to our older generation of fans in China. Lose confidence in China football.
Let's look at the team list at that time: the head coach and the player list.
Coach: Ceng Xuelin (main), Xu Genbao, Qi Wusheng, Hu Zhigang.
Members: Lu, Zhu Bo, Jia Xiuquan, Lin Lefeng, Lu Hongxiang,,, Gu Guangming, Zuo Shusheng, Zhao Dayu, Yang, Liu Guanghai, Chi Minghua, Fu Yubin, Wu Qunli, Tang Yaodong and Huang Dexing.
