On February 1, Beijing time, the World Preliminary Round of 12 in Asia ushered in the 8th round of showdown, and the national football team and the Vietnamese men's football team began to duel. Previously, the national football team achieved 1 win, 2 draws and 4 losses (accumulating 5 points) and temporarily ranked 5th in Group B, while Vietnam was 7 total defeats (accumulating 0 points) and ranked at the bottom of Group B (6th). Coupled with the fact that today is the annual Spring Festival, this also makes fans look forward to this showdown even more, and everyone hopes that the national football team can achieve a victory!
This match is very important for the national football team, which is currently nine points behind Australia, who is 3rd in Group B. According to the rules of the World Preliminary Round of 12, the top 2 in the group directly advance to the Qatar World Cup, and the 3rd place needs to play a play-off. The national football team is currently nine points behind Australia, who is no. 3 in the group, while only the last 3 rounds of the round of 12 are left.
If the national football team wants to qualify for the World Cup, it must strive to get the third place in the group, so that the national football team can get a play-off qualification. However, with only 3 rounds left, the national football team is still 9 points behind Australia. This means that if you still want to retain the hope of promotion, the national football team must win the last 3 rounds of matches, and then fight for enough goal differences, and finally hope that Australia will lose all 3 games, so that the national football team can squeeze out Australia's third place.
After 90 minutes of intense matches, the national football team lost 1-3 to the Vietnamese men's football team, and while losing the game, the national football team also suffered a wave of 2 consecutive defeats (the last game lost to the Japanese men's football team). More importantly, the national football team can not retain the hope of promotion if it loses the game, and the national football team accumulates 5 points in 8 rounds, completely missing the Qatar World Cup.
In this game, there were too many loopholes in the national football defense, and the national football team conceded 2 goals in the first half of the game, respectively in the 9th minute and 16th minutes of the game, and the time interval between these 2 goals was only 7 minutes, which was completely unexpected by the fans. Logically, the Vietnamese men's football team is the weakest team in Group B (ranked at the bottom), and in the absence of a win, the Vietnamese men's football team has played a momentum and firmly grasped the initiative on the field.
In the second half of the game, it was easy to fight again, and our national football team launched a fierce counterattack. Unfortunately, the thunder and rain are small, but the Vietnamese men's football team has shown strong offensive aggression. In the 76th minute of the game, the Vietnamese men's football team staged a world wave outside the penalty area to extend the lead to 3-0, leaving little time for the Chinese team.
In the last minute of injury time, Xu Xin helped the national football team to pull back a goal, and the score was rewritten to 1-3. The two sides never scored a goal again, and the score was maintained until the end of the match. After beating the national football team 3-1, the Vietnamese men's football team won the first victory in the round of 12. It was a very happy day for Vietnamese fans. After all, Vietnam, like china, also has a tradition of celebrating the Spring Festival, and Vietnamese fans can have a happy New Year.
On the other hand, we Chinese fans are very sad, originally thought that on the day of the Spring Festival, we could see the national football team achieve a big victory, but we did not expect to usher in such an ending. As the saying goes, "no break, no standing", perhaps this tragic defeat can make the national football team wake up and change. After all, before that, no one thought that our national football team would really lose to Vietnam, and almost got a clean sheet by the Vietnamese men's football team, which was completely impossible before, fortunately, it scored a face-saving goal at the last moment.
Now that the national football team has not qualified for the Qatar World Cup, it has become a fact, as for what kind of adjustments Chinese football will make next, let us as fans wait and see!
