There are still 11 days to go before the resumption of the round of 12, and the national football team has been training in Haikou for 10 days. The remaining 2 rounds of 12 matches, the national football team has no performance pressure, because the early two rounds of out, can still affect the fate of saudi arabia, Japan, Australia team, the Saudi team, temporarily ranked first in the group, the promotion to the World Cup is not stable, the time to lose to the national football team, it may become the third in the group, the play-offs are close to out.
The national football team is currently the earliest training team in the top 12 competitions, and even if it is eliminated in advance, it is still very important. The Football Association asked the national football team early on not to continue to collapse, such as the fiasco of the big score, for this reason, coach Li Xiaopeng arranged three warm-up matches for the national football team, and fully prepared for the round of 12 against Saudi Arabia and Oman.
According to the schedule, the national football team in the ninth round against Saudi Arabia, the tenth round against Oman, as long as the defeat of Saudi Arabia, the national football team has a high probability of making vietnam rank at the bottom of the group, and will also assist Australia in competing for World Cup places.
At present, in the group standings, Saudi Arabia ranks first with 19 points, Japan ranks second with 18 points, Australia ranks third with 15 points, Oman, China and Vietnam are out of the game in advance, and then watch the drama.
In the last round of 2-0 away defeat to Japan, Saudi Arabia missed the opportunity to pass the World Cup in the early two rounds, and now the remaining two games are against China and Australia, and one more win can lock in the top two of the group. At present, the Saudi team is 4 points ahead of the third-ranked Australian team, in fact, it is not very safe, because the loss to the Chinese team, then the last round of the game against the Australian team has become a life-and-death battle, and the past record of the game, the Saudi team is obviously at a disadvantage, the last time it won was in 1997.
The remaining 2 round of 12 matches into a battle of honor, the national football team is still training in accordance with the previous preparation attitude and plan, the last 2 warm-up matches were 1-1 draw and 5-0 victories, the opponents are Changchun Yatai, the national football team began to awaken, the state has improved significantly, which is good news.
Now the Saudi team wants to qualify for the World Cup, but also depends on the face of the national football team, and the Australian team hopes that the national football team can win. Whoever ends up in the third group, only qualifies for the play-offs, and then plays against the fifth team in south America, there is a high probability that they will not be able to play, thus missing the World Cup finals.
Saudi Arabia ranks sixth in Asia, and China ranks ninth in Asia, there is a gap in the strength of the two teams, and the national football team can create a big cold if it wins.
