Zhang's outburst
Zhang's outburst is undeniably understandable. China's last victory in a soccer match came on November 16, 2023. On that occasion, the Chinese beat Thailand 2-1. The match was also a qualifier.
Since then, the Chinese have played seven matches without a win, most notably in the Asian Cup, where they drew two and lost one, finishing the group stage in third place without scoring a goal.
Finally, the Chinese press reported that Zhang's wife shared a text message conversation they had after the match, in which he allegedly said: "I really feel I can't do any more than this. Every day I try my hardest, but I can't accept this result."
Linpeng Zhang
The full-back and captain of the Chinese national soccer team has said that he will no longer play for the team. On Thursday (21), after the 2-2 draw away to Singapore, Linpeng Zhang announced his decision at a press conference. The match was part of the Asian qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
In short, the Chinese let a two-goal lead slip and allowed Singapore to draw level. Disappointed, Linpeng Zhang expressed his frustration at the situation of the team he represents.
"I've thought about this for a long time. I think it's time to end my career with the national team. Not even beating the Singapore team is unacceptable and humiliating," said the 34-year-old Chinese defender.
Singapore
Bottom of the group, Singapore picked up their first point after their comeback against the Chinese on March 21.
The Lions lost to Thailand and South Korea in their first two qualifiers.
China
The highlight after the disappointing away draw against Singapore was the statement by team captain Linpeng Zhang that he had decided to retire from the national team due to his disappointment with China's recent performances.
With four points from three games, China are in third place in Group C, outside the qualification zone for the third round.
Last match
On March 21, the teams met in the third round of Group C and drew 2-2. The Chinese took a 2-0 lead with two goals from Wu Lei and were held to a draw in the second half by goals from Ramli and Mahler.

Singapore
Singapore, meanwhile, desperately needs a win. After conceding ten goals in their first three games, the team are looking for their first win, at the bottom of the group. A further setback could basically seal an early exit.
China
China will be looking to avoid distancing themselves from South Korea at the top of the table. The South Koreans, led by Heung-min Son, have seven points so far and are still unbeaten, three more than the Chinese's four. In between them is Thailand, also on four, with a better goal difference than China.
