On the morning of December 15, Beijing time, Vietnamese media news that the next match of the World Preliminary Tournament, Australia may move its home stadium from Sydney to Melbourne.
For most athletes, Melbourne is far more convenient than Sydney, but for the Vietnamese team it is the complete opposite. With no direct flights, Vietnamese players need to travel to Sydney and then To Melbourne, and the journey back is the same. As a result, the Vietnamese media are very worried, because after playing Australia, they will face the national football team at home, which is also the game where they are most likely to get points or even win.
If the Vietnamese team is tired, it is undoubtedly good news for the national football team and Li Xiaopeng. Facing the tired Vietnamese team, even if there are no naturalized players, the national football team is likely to be able to score 3 points on the road.
After Australia changed the venue of the competition, the Vietnamese media complained continuously. However, what they complained about was not the host's small moves, because they had no hope of playing Australia next. The Vietnamese media unanimously agreed that such an arrangement would be very unfavorable for their home match for the national football team.
Unlike other locations, Vietnam flies to Australia, only flights to Sydney. Sydney doesn't have direct flights to Melbourne, so they need to take a bus across Australia's 2 major cities.
According to Vietnamese media, the journey, which was originally about 10 hours, now takes more than 24 hours. Park Heon-seok's team will usher in a new challenge.
This arrangement in Australia is easy to understand, from January to February, there are many matches in Australia, including the famous Australian Open competition (expected to be from the end of January to the beginning of February). Australia can concentrate all the competitions in Melbourne.
But for the Vietnamese team, it requires them to leave early and return to their home stadium more than half a day late. As Vietnam's league has been cancelled, the Southeast Asian championships will also be completely closed in December. The Vietnamese team's early departure to Australia was not a big problem, and they could even adapt to the environment and recover their fitness a week in advance.
The Vietnamese team also knows in their hearts that they have lost 0-1 to Australia by relying on the vegetable field at home. If they go back to the regular venue, they have almost no chance. Don't say you score goals, just concede 3 goals and win. After the draw with the national football team, Australia desperately needed 3 points to surpass the Japanese team and try to qualify in the top two of the group.
But the home match against the national football team, vietnam's most important game next year, is almost not one of them.
For the national football team, this is undoubtedly a good news.
Previously, when the national football team faced Oman, the home stadium was arranged to the United Arab Emirates. As a result, the away team went to the match site before the national football team for training. And the national football team in the match against Oman, is the last moment to concede a goal.
Before facing the Vietnamese team, the opponent of the national football team was the Japanese team. With a full complement of Japanese returnees, the national football team has no chance at all. In the last meeting, Li Tie let all four naturalizations appear in the second half, and as a result, he got few opportunities, and the blind platoon of MoriHoichi not only won the victory, but even the data was far ahead.
The current coach of the national football team is Li Xiaopeng. After the restart of the World Preliminary Round, the opponents of the national football team were Japan and Vietnam. The bottom line of the FA is that it is absolutely impossible to lose away to Vietnam. Between rounds, there is only 5 days of rest.
The Vietnamese team will waste a lot of physical energy on the road, which gives Li Xiaopeng a chance. If you grasp it well, next year's Spring Festival will be a good day for domestic fans.
