On February 1, the first day of the Chinese New Year, the national football team will challenge the Vietnamese team on the road, and the hope of the two sides to qualify for the World Cup before the start of this game has basically disappeared, and the Vietnamese team has 7-0 points and is out of the game early. The national football team has 5 points in 7 rounds, 9 points and 15 goals from the third Australian team in the group with a play-off seat, and with 3 rounds left, it is almost impossible to qualify. Coach Li Xiaopeng made it clear in an interview that he would not think too much about the standings, and every game of the national football team, including the warm-up game, was very important.
The national football team plays on the first day of the New Year, also known as the battle of gifts or blockages, everyone is celebrating the Spring Festival on the first day of the New Year, the national football team will play, and if you win, you will give gifts to the domestic fans. Once they lose or draw and let Vietnam get their first points in the round of 12, it will be a battle for the fans. Obviously, the national football team definitely hopes to present gifts and strive to double kill the Vietnamese team.
The national football match will kick off at 8:00 p.m. on the first day of the Chinese New Year, and at the same time there will be five Spring Festival Galas, including Beijing Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala, Oriental Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala, Jiangsu Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala, Zhejiang Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala, and Hundred Flowers Welcome Party (Chinese Literature and Art Circles 2022 Spring Festival Gala).
That is to say, the national football team will compete head-on with the five Spring Festival Galas at the same time in terms of ratings, and it is a big problem for the fans to see if the national football team can double-kill the Vietnamese team on the first day of the New Year, or to see the festive and joyful local Spring Festival Gala. On the one hand, this is the honor battle of the national football team, as Li Xiaopeng said, the national football game is very important even if it is a warm-up game. But the local Spring Festival Gala stars, singing, sketches and cross-talk are constantly coming, and it will almost certainly not disappoint.
Therefore, under such circumstances, it will be difficult for the national football team to compete for the ratings of the five major Spring Festival Galas. According to statistics, the 25th national football team lost to the Japanese team 0-2, the overall rating is 1.2249%, of which the ratings reached a peak before the end of the first half, 1.5358% also ranked first in the country in the same period, which is very proud data, enough to see that even if there is little hope of qualifying for the World Cup, but the fans are still highly concerned about the national football game, which can be seen from the ratings, post-game hot discussions and other aspects.
It should be said that Vietnam also has a Lunar New Year, so today's New Year's Day battle is also very important for the Vietnamese team. The Vietnamese coach had made it clear in an interview that he hoped to get points when facing the national football team on the day of the Spring Festival, and the whole team was scrappy.
Looking forward to the arrival of this game, for Li Xiaopeng, the national football team and the fans, it is not about whether they can qualify for the World Cup, the most important thing is to strive to play a spirit on the first day of the New Year, double-kill the Vietnamese team, and present gifts to the fans.
