Compared with the past, this year's top 12 matches, the confidence of the national football team is obviously insufficient, the most obvious is against the Vietnamese team at the bottom of the group, the national football team is not fully sure, this mentality will also affect the game process, the first leg with Vietnam, the national football team won the thrilling point, before the second round of confrontation, the national football team also said that they were trying to win, seemingly low-key expression, behind it is a lack of confidence, after all, in the 7 games that have ended, the national football team has only scored 5 points, and it has not been a feeling of winning for a long time.
Competitive sports is the process of this and that, the lack of confidence in the national football team, such a process also gave the opponent confidence, although the Vietnamese team results are worse, 7 consecutive defeats, but the team expressed confidence in the victory of the national football team, and strive to get the first victory of the World Preliminary Tournament, to give local fans holiday gifts. Of course, the Vietnamese team's confidence is mainly from the home battle, after all, in the past against Saudi Arabia, Japan, Australia and other top three teams in the group, although the Vietnamese team all lost, but the process is not without opportunities, and even stronger than the national football team.
Of course, due to the poor results of the World Preliminary Round, the world ranking of the Vietnamese team has dropped significantly. According to local media, after losing to Australia, vietnam's points have decreased again, falling 4th in the ranking, and finally ranked 98th last year, and now it is down to 102, falling out of the top 100. It's also the lowest ranking in 3 years. After entering the round of 12, the Vietnamese team was in a period of development and rising, and now the ranking fell back to 100 places, which is obviously difficult for the Vietnam Football Association to accept, and returning to less than 100 places has also become the main target in the near future. Not only that, due to the absence of Gui Yuhai and Liu Guangrong, the Vietnamese team announced the emergency official recruitment of defender Pei Huang Yueying 1 day before the game, who may occasionally become the "strange soldier" of the game, and Li Xiaopeng must guard against it.
Then the match with the national football team, it has naturally become a redemption battle for the Vietnamese team, if it can win, it will return to less than 100, draws and losses can not achieve the goal, especially the defeat, the Vietnamese team will face the embarrassment of 8 consecutive defeats, because the opponents in the last two rounds are Oman and Japan, so it is not excluded that the tragedy of ending the World Preliminary Round with 10 consecutive defeats is not ruled out. Therefore, the Vietnamese team is bound to do everything in its power to fight with the national football team, and Li Xiaopeng needs to be cautious and it is best to take advantage of the opponent's eagerness to create opportunities to score goals.
