So far in the round of 12, Vietnam has not scored a single point, becoming the only team among the 12 teams that has not scored points, and is recognized as the weakest team. However, the weakest team still has a dream, hoping to win the first round of 12 by beating China, although as many as 8 of them have lost the training.
In preparation for the next matches against Australia and China, Vietnam recently announced the 32-man roster for the round of 12. In this big list, there are as many as 7 newcomers who have never played in the national team before. Why is the Vietnamese team recruiting new people? Mainly because there are a large number of main players who have either lost due to injury or because of poor new crown status.
The players who lost the new roster include main goalkeeper Deng Wenlin, substitute goalkeeper Nguyen Van Zan, main defenders Du Wei Meng, Duan Wen Hou and Nguyen Ngong Huang, midfielders Nguyen Jun Ying and Van Tak Hui, and striker Pham Tak Kwan. In addition, the main midfielder Nguyen Hoang Tak and the main striker Nguyen Thanh Ling and the substitute striker Nguyen Van Quan were recently infected with the new crown, although they can be cured before the round of 12, but it will undoubtedly affect the state and affect the preparation of the national team.
Despite the team's severe attrition, the Vietnamese team still has its own dreams (ambitions). Away to Australia, the Vietnamese team does not dare to have too many illusions, but at home against the Chinese team, the Vietnamese team hopes to defeat the opponent and win the first victory in the team's history of the round of 12.
The reason why the Vietnamese team has this ambition, in addition to gaining confidence in the Chinese team once reversed the score in the first leg, is also because they have a very big advantage - home games, and will allow fans to enter the stadium to cheer. It is understood that the Vietnamese team will allow the stadium capacity to open 50%, that is, 20,000 seats. In the previous 2 home games against Japan and Saudi Arabia, they also only opened 30% of the capacity. It seems that in order to win the first victory in the round of 12, the Vietnamese team really fought.
For the national football team, although the strength of the Vietnamese team is dominant, it cannot be careless in the second leg. The narrow win in the first leg was enough to prove that the opponent was not a soft stick. Moreover, this time the other side has a home advantage, and the strength can be at least 10%. In addition, the Chinese Super League season has just ended, and the national football team has no desire or desire in the round of 12, so the opponents in this campaign are very dangerous, and even become a turning point in the development of Chinese and Vietnamese football.
