In another 10 days, the round of 12 will resume, and the Oman men's football team, the Chinese men's football team and the Vietnamese men's football team that are out of group B early will compete for the ranking. At present, Oman competes for fourth and occupies the initiative, and neither the Chinese team nor the Vietnamese team wants to be at the bottom of the group.
In the B group standings, Saudi Arabia, Japan and Australia ranked first to third, the difference between the three teams was only 4 points, competing for 2 places through the World Cup, Oman ranked fourth with 8 points, China ranked fifth with 5 points, and Vietnam ranked at the bottom with 3 points.
If it were not for the home defeat of the national football team in the previous round, the Vietnamese team would lock in the bottom of the group two rounds in advance, and now lag 2 points behind the fifth-ranked national football team, giving the Vietnamese team the hope of getting rid of the bottom.
Recently, Oman announced the latest 29-man training list, and all 9 professional players currently playing overseas have been selected. In this regard, the Vietnamese media reported that after Oman missed the World Cup in advance, it plans to train for the 2023 Asian Cup, and will send a young squad, the list of young players born in 2000 and 99 years is shortlisted, and a number of players under the age group of 96 are listed.
Vietnamese media believe that Oman's advance training gives Vietnam a chance to win the second game of the round of 12, and if Vietnam beats Oman to get 3 points, it is possible to surpass China in the standings and rise to fifth in the group.
According to statistics, Vietnam and Oman have met three times before, including the 2003 Asian Cup qualifiers, when Vietnam was killed by Oman 0-6 and 0-3 respectively, and vietnam lost 3 consecutive games to Oman in the round of 12 last year. Now that Oman is planning to send young players, Vietnam has a chance to wash away the humiliating history of not winning against Oman for 18 consecutive years.
Round 9 of the Round of 12 matches, the Chinese men's football team will play against the Saudi men's football team in Sharjah, UAE, the current international football team is training in Haikou, physically and mentally exhausted, most of the international football players are difficult to have a good performance in the game against saudi Arabia because of the salary arrears, coupled with their own strength is in the inferior position, the probability of losing is high, so the Vietnamese team wins, will send the national football team to the bottom of the group.
In the last round of 12, the national football team won the last two consecutive rounds of Uzbekistan and Qatar, and finally ranked fifth in the group, making Qatar the bottom of the group. Now the national football team still has 2 games, if the Vietnam team is overtaken, it will be humiliated again.
