On February 1, Beijing time, the national football team challenged the Vietnamese team away, because in the last game, the national football team lost 0-2 to Japan, and has completely lost the opportunity to qualify for the group stage, so the national football team against Vietnam has lost its meaning. However, because this game was played on the first day of the Chinese New Year, the national football team boasted before the game that it would defeat Vietnam and not add to the people of the whole country.
However, contrary to expectations, only 9 minutes after the opening of the World Preliminary Tournament between the national football team and Vietnam, Hu Jincai of the Vietnamese team broke through the door of the national football team, and the national football team fell behind Vietnam 0-1. After the Vietnamese team took a 1-0 lead, the confidence of the Vietnamese team increased greatly, occupying the initiative on the field, while the national football team fell into passivity. In the 16th minute of the game, the Vietnamese team had a subtle cooperation, Nguyen Jin Ling scored another goal, Vietnam took a 2-0 lead, and after nearly 30 minutes, the national football team failed to catch up with the score, and the national football team fell behind Vietnam 0-2 at the end of the half, completely in a desperate situation. After the start of the second half, although Li Xiaopeng made some tactical adjustments, but did not achieve any results, Zhang Changning scored a goal shortly after the start of the second half, but was blown offside by the referee, and the goal was invalid. When the game went to 76 minutes, Vietnam's Phan Van Tak world wave broke the goal, Vietnam took a 3-0 lead, the confidence of the national football team was completely destroyed, and the game lost suspense.
After the fiasco of the national football team defeated Vietnam, it is reminiscent of the prediction of the national football team 9 years ago, on June 15, 2013, the national football team lost 1-5 to the Thai team. Fan Zhiyi said after the game: "What level of Chinese football is now? Just a few people, you Zhao Peng or whatever are playing center-back, can he play? Can't kick. Don't have that ability, you know? And Fan Zhiyi also said that the face of Chinese football is not wanted, and then go down to lose to Vietnam. Unexpectedly, Fan Zhiyi's prediction was really realized after 9 years, the national football team lost to Australia, lost to Saudi Arabia, lost to Japan, fans can endure, after all, there is a gap in the strength of the two sides. But the national football team lost to the Vietnamese team, the fans have been completely disappointed, the last fig leaf of the national football team has been torn down. After losing to Vietnam, angry fans have left messages on the Internet to add to the blockage in the New Year, and quickly disband the national football team.
It can also be seen from the game that although the Vietnamese team is not as physically as the national football team, their technology is delicate and their morale is strong, while the national football team has no technology and fighting spirit to speak of, and it is actually reasonable to lose to Vietnam. After losing to Vietnam, the national football team only achieved a record of 1 win, 2 draws, 5 losses and 5 points in the World Preliminary Tournament, continuing to rank second to last in Group B, and there is no hope of entering the top three of the group stage, so the next two World Preliminary Matches have no meaning for the national football team, and many fans suggest that it is better to abandon the game directly.
