The two opponents of the national football team next month are Japan and Vietnam, if they lose consecutively, then they will not qualify for the World Cup finals in the early two rounds, and these 2 matches will be broadcast live by CCTV5, CCTV5.
At present, in the group standings, the national football team has 5 points in 6 rounds, ranking fifth, Japan has 12 points in 6 rounds, ranking second, Vietnam has 0 points in 6 rounds, ranking at the bottom, the three teams are different from the situation, Japan is close to qualifying for the World Cup, the national football team and Vietnam are close to the group out, and the next 2 games directly determine the fate of the two teams.
The round of 12 will resume next month, the seventh round will be on January 27, and the eighth round will be placed on February 1, that is, the first day of the Lunar New Year, the national football team will first play away against Japan, and then away against Vietnam. Therefore, the new coach Li Xiaopeng will lead the team to vietnam on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and this game will receive super attention from fans of both teams.
On October 7 this year, the national football team relied on Zhang Yuning's opening record and Wu Lei's two-time scoring to make a 3-2 kill, maintaining a record for 61 consecutive wins against The Vietnamese team. Therefore, the Vietnamese team returned to the home game, naturally hoping to break the humiliating record of not winning the national football team.
This morning, the national football team came with good news. According to the reporter Ma Dexing's report, the Australian team's home game against Vietnam is determined to be arranged in Melbourne, which will be a good news for the Vietnamese team, which will require the consumption of boats and cars, and then rush back to the country to prepare for the match with the national football team.
Vietnam's two round-of-12 matches next month are away to Australia and home to China, Vietnam has no direct flight to Melbourne, unless it is a charter flight, otherwise it needs to be transited, and the distance between the two places is 7720 kilometers, plus the time difference is 4 hours, this journey may take 24 hours.
Compared with the Vietnamese team, the national football team has a direct flight to Hanoi after playing in Japan, coupled with the distance between the two places of about 3600 kilometers, which is obviously in an advantage.
The national football team's away match against Vietnam is very important, not just a matter of face. If there is no accident, the Vietnamese team will most likely lose to the Australian team, early out, the national football team away to defeat the Vietnamese team, you can send the Vietnamese team to lock the bottom of the group two rounds in advance, the national football team can also be reduced to the bottom to create the worst record in the history of the team.
