The night before yesterday, the seventh round of the round of the 12 round of a focus battle was launched, by the Chinese team against the Japanese team, the gap between the two teams is extremely large, and finally the Chinese team with no resistance lost 0-2 to the Japanese team, basically announcing that it was not eligible for the 2022 World Cup in advance.
In fact, during the New Year, not only the Chinese men's football team has a competition, the women's football team is also participating in the Asian Cup, but the attention of the women's team is low, especially the Asian Cup group stage, the strength gap is too big and there is no suspense, and there are fewer people to pay attention to.
And tomorrow, the women's Asian Cup quarterfinals are in full swing, the first half, Japan vs Thailand, China vs Vietnam, the winning two teams and then PK each other, to determine a final place; the second half, Australia vs South Korea, Chinese Taipei vs Philippines, because the Asian Cup final four will directly advance to the 2023 Women's World Cup, Chinese Taipei women's football team is lucky, is expected to get World Cup tickets.
Frankly speaking, there are only a few countries in Asia that have really developed women's football, Japan, Australia, North Korea, South Korea and China, and the North Korean women's football team refuses to participate in the Women's Asian Cup because of the new crown epidemic, and the competitive pressure is even smaller.
Although today's Chinese women's football team can no longer be compared with the peak period, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, against the Vietnamese women's football team, there is no problem in winning, mainly depending on winning a few. In the semi-finals, basically dueling against the Japanese team, although the strength of the Japanese women's football team has also declined in recent years, the Chinese women's football team has thought about the Japanese women's football team, and the possibility is still relatively small. The Chinese men's team has just lost to the Japanese team and is about to face off against the Vietnamese team, and the Chinese women's football team will play against the Vietnamese women's football team tomorrow night, and in a few days it is very likely to play against the Japanese women's football team, which is really quite coincidental.
On February 1, that is, at 20:00 on the night of the first day of the Chinese New Year (Beijing time), the eighth round of the Round of 12 began, and the Chinese men's football team will play away against the Japanese men's football team. In the latest standings, Vietnam lost seven games and scored 0 points, conceded 16 goals, the most of the 12 participating teams, and is undoubtedly the weakest team in the total of twelve teams in the round of 12, china accumulated 5 points, conceded 13 goals, and Syria tied for the second most goals conceded.
It can be said that this Sino-Vietnamese battle is a standard battle of fish belly, and at the sensitive time of the Spring Festival, both teams want to win on the opponent and win this "battle of honor".
Before the start of the round of 12, not only the day blows more, the more blow is also a lot, Vietnamese football has made some progress over the years, but playing in the round of 12 is only the first time they have entered the final stage of the World Preliminary Round in Asia, the real level of the Vietnamese team, can only be said to be inferior to the Thai team.
Not to mention the very distant era, even more than a decade ago, the Chinese team did not take the Vietnamese team seriously at all, and at that time there was no suspense in winning Vietnam, it was seen that it was a few wins. But now the situation has indeed changed, mainly because our level has dropped too much, the first leg of the two teams met, the Chinese team in the 2-0 lead, by the opponent 2-2 equalizer, until the last minute of stoppage time, Wu Lei scored a killer goal, 3-2 narrowly won the opponent.
The biggest problem of this Japanese team is still defense, although it has been playing a five-guard formation, but the player's personal strength and teamwork ability are not enough, although the Chinese team fights away, but there is no problem with scoring goals, the key is whether the Chinese team's defense can be done well, the first seven rounds of matches, the national football team did not have a clean sheet opponent. Although the day before yesterday was defeated to the Japanese team, but the strength on the court is still the most important, in the face of the previous 10 games of the Vietnamese team, I still believe that the national football team can win, the New Year's Time, the Chinese men's and women's football team will play against the Vietnamese men's and women's football team, in my opinion, the two wins are worry-free.
