The Asian Cup is one of the highest-level football competitions in Asia, and some outstanding players emerge every Asian Cup. However, there are also some players who perform poorly in the game for various reasons and become the most unfortunate players in the Asian Cup.
Taking the 2007 Asian Cup as an example, Iraq striker Tobaik was in a low state throughout the game because he was kicked by his opponent during the game. Tobaik was originally the offensive core of the Iraq team, but he could hardly perform at his normal level at the Asian Cup, causing great trouble for the Iraq team.
In the 2011 Asian Cup, South Korean goalkeeper Lee Chenglong performed poorly. In the group stage, Li Chenglong made continuous mistakes, causing the South Korean team to lose valuable points. His mistakes had a serious impact on the South Korean team's overall defense, and he also received a lot of criticism after the game.
At the 2015 Asian Cup, Iran's midfielder Andrado performed unexpectedly badly. Andrado made frequent mistakes in the game, which prevented the Iranian team's attack from launching. His sluggish state not only cost the team many scoring opportunities, but also caused the Iranian team to exit early.
Taking the 2019 Asian Cup as an example, Bahrain's defender Lusdi was sent off for multiple fouls, which caused the Bahrain team to be at a numerical disadvantage during the game. Lusdi's red card not only affected the Bahrain team's defense, but also greatly affected the team's overall morale, ultimately resulting in the Bahrain team being unable to advance.
In the history of the Asian Cup, many players have performed unsatisfactory in the competition for various reasons, which has caused great trouble to themselves and the team. The unfortunate performance of these players has become a bumpy experience in their football careers, and it has also made people deeply aware of the importance of every position in football.
