Although it did not win the Southeast Asia Cup, the Vietnamese team continued to be "good" before the 8th round of the round of 12 against the Chinese team. Recently, the Vietnamese media have continuously quoted reports in our country, including that international footballers such as Zhang Linpeng may not be able to represent the national football team due to tattoos, and 3 major naturalized forwards such as Axon may not be recruited by Li Xiaopeng due to unsystematic training and other reasons.
In order to let the Vietnamese team beat the national football team at home or get points, the Vietnamese media have reprinted these news that may be unfavorable to the Chinese team, which can be described as a broken heart. However, there is a news from Vietnam that makes the Vietnamese media even more excited.
According to the latest report of the Vietnamese media "thethao247" (below), during the Spring Festival with the Chinese team in this round of 12 matches, the Vietnam Football Association has applied for 20,000 fans to enter the Mei Dinh Stadium to watch the game and help the Vietnamese national team.
For this decision of the Vietnam Football Association, the media said with great confidence: the 20,000 home spectators at The Mec Dinh Stadium will be a huge "mental stimulant" for Gui Ngoc Hai (captain of the Vietnamese team) and his teammates. To put it bluntly, it is to beat chicken blood, and the description of the Vietnamese media is very appropriate.
The 12 finals have not been scored so far, the throne of Southeast Asian football hegemons has also been taken away by the Thai team, and the only hope of the Vietnamese team now is to get points on the Chinese team and avoid being shaved in the 0 points in the round of 12. In the last Round of 12, Thailand only scored 1 point, and the Vietnamese team did not want to be more embarrassed than the Thai team.
It is reported that the Meiting Stadium can accommodate about 40,000 spectators, and this time applying for 20,000 fans to enter the stadium, accounting for almost 50% of the stadium's capacity, which will be the largest number of people opened since the epidemic, which shows the importance they attach to this game.
Previously, during its home game against Australia and Japan last November, The Meiting Stadium was only allowed 12,000 fans to enter.
Why is so many fans open for the first time? The media pointed out the reason: against the Chinese team, the demand for spectators will be very high, so the number of applicants has increased to 20,000.
The article also said that Vietnam's goal in the round of 12 is to get points, and the Chinese team is considered the "mildest opponent" in this harsh arena. The article also used the example of a meeting between the two sides last year, when the Vietnamese team only lost 2-3.
In short, neither side wanted to add to their Spring Festival in this game, and the reason why Vietnamese fans were enthusiastic was mainly that they were more optimistic that the team could score points on the Chinese team.
That is to say, they think that in this group, only on the Chinese team, they are most likely to get points, even if it is 1 point.
Knowing that their strength is limited, the Vietnamese team did not take the promotion to the Qatar World Cup as a goal from the beginning, as the text said, the goal is to get points. Judging from the first 6 rounds of the round of 12, they are indeed the closest to the game to get points, which is this small loss with the national football team.
By all indications, the Vietnamese team does have reasons to be optimistic.
The national football team changed the coach this time, Li Xiaopeng simply did not have enough time to prepare for the battle, the 3 major naturalized forwards in the team were difficult to protect, in this case, what is the combat effectiveness of the national football team? Coupled with the fact that it is still an away game, the variables are even greater.
Under these unfavorable factors, can the national football team retreat in Vietnam? No one can guarantee it! But we hope that the national football team can continue to maintain its advantage over Vietnamese football and continue the fire of victory. One after another, one after another, one generation after another!
