At 20:00 Beijing time on February 1, the 8th round of Group B of the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers in the Asian Zone Round of 12, the national football team will play away to Vietnam. After the last round of the national football team lost 0:2 to Japan, it has basically been out, and the word "basic" cannot be removed.
The next 3 rounds of national football wins all at the same time Australia loses, and the national football team wins wildly, Australia loses miserably, the national football team finally accumulates 14 points with Australia, and the gap between 15 goal differences is also erased, and the national football team will replace Australia as the third in the group and qualify for the play-offs... In theory, this assumption is true, before the end of the Sino-Vietnamese war, the national football team has not been out, and the word "basic" cannot be removed.
But in reality, is this likely to happen?
In this game, the requirements of the big guys are not high, as long as they win one on the first day of the New Year, they will not "add blockage" to the Chinese fans for the New Year.
The Number of World Cup Places in Asia is 4.5, and the winner of the third PK of the two groups wins the Intercontinental Play-offs to five. The strength of Iran, Japan, South Korea, Australia and Saudi Arabia has long been stable in the top five in Asia, and the national football team has never entered the top five in Asia in recent years.
But you can't lose to Vietnam, you can't draw.
Vietnam is the "super fish belly" in the top 12 competitions, and no matter the FIFA ranking and overall strength, there is a huge gap with the national football team. Looking back at the history of the confrontation, the national football team maintained a 10-consecutive victory over the official match of Vietnam, and the first leg of the round of 12 met, and the national football team won 3:2.
The national football team has arrived in Vietnam, and the new international Dai Weijun said in an interview during training: "I hope to win the game, to bring the joy of this victory to all Chinese fans, and then let them be happy for the New Year." ”
If your national football team is full of hope, it may end up disappointed. In the last World Preliminary Round of 12, the national football team faced Syria, which is recognized as the weakest group in Xi'an, and I was on the spot. They all believe that the national football team will win, and in the end, the national football team lost, and the "brother who returned money" and "the sister who returned money" were also "a hit and a hit".
Based on the following three reasons, the author believes that the national football team will "add blockage" to Chinese fans for the New Year.
The first is Vietnam's home field advantage. Vietnamese football has made obvious progress over the years, and the football atmosphere is strong. Li Tie, the former coach of the national football team, made it clear that there is no difference between "having a home" and "not having a home", playing Oman and Australia's two "home", if you really play at your own home, you will win. Back at home, Vietnam will definitely be able to play something different from the first leg against the national football team.
Second, the national football team has changed from strong to weak. In the first leg of the game against Vietnam, the national football team was in a neat lineup, the five major naturalizations were all there, and the local striker Wu Lei was in good shape. Today, naturalization as Axon did not come, Wu Lei in La Liga after a long time on the bench is in no state.
Third, the national football team has no fighting spirit. Up and down the national football team, who will fight for the theoretical third group? Winning this game has no practical significance except to win a "battle of honor".
Vietnam finished the 7th round, 7 consecutive defeats they are already out, "basic" do not need to add the word . But winning this game means a lot to them! For the first time in the history of the team to reach the final stage of the Asian zone of the World Preliminary Tournament, the qualification is basically hopeless, so "scoring a goal, taking a point, winning a game" is their goal. The goal of scoring goals has been achieved, the goal of scoring points and winning the ball has not yet been achieved, and it is best to achieve it in the home game against the national football team.
Vietnam's defeat of the national football team is like the national football team beating Brazil. If the national football team wins brazil once, how will the Chinese fans feel? That Vietnam wins a national football team, Vietnamese fans are what it feels like.
Vietnam, which was completely independent from China after the death of Ming Chengzu, like us, also had to celebrate the Lunar New Year, and on the first day of the Chinese New Year, we all hoped to be happy for the New Year.
