After the draw with Saudi Arabia, the national football team extended the world preliminary tournament winless record to 6 games, setting a record for the longest winless game in the history of the team.
Before the game against Saudi Arabia, the national football team had been 5 world qualifiers without wins. Since the 2-3 defeat to Saudi Arabia, the national football team has been unable to win against Oman, Australia, Japan and Vietnam, achieving a result of 2 draws and 3 losses.
What is even more embarrassing is that the national football team lost to Vietnam on the first day of the New Year, and while failing to qualify for the World Cup for five consecutive years, the national football team also lost to Vietnam for the first time in the history of the team. The war against Saudi Arabia has become a face-to-face battle for the national football team.
Facing Saudi Arabia again, the national footballer played very hard, but the gap in strength and the distraction when defending corners allowed Saudi Arabia to use corner kicks to break the goal in the first half of stoppage time. In the round of 12, the national football team conceded a goal on the field, and Vietnam failed to keep a clean sheet in both matches.
After losing to Saudi Arabia, the national football team failed to win 6 consecutive World Preliminary Rounds, setting a new embarrassing record in team history. At the same time, Li Xiaopeng has never won in the three games since taking charge, becoming the first national football manager since Zhu Guanghu to win the first three games.
The final battle of the national football team will be against Oman, if it loses again, then the national football team will end the World Preliminary Tournament with four consecutive defeats and 7 winless games. Not only that, but the national football team may even be surpassed by Vietnam, who participated in the round of 12 for the first time.
In the 9th round, Vietnam lost 0-1 at home to Oman, which put Vietnam at the bottom of Group B with 1 win and 8 losses and 3 points. In fact, the national football team became the only team that allowed Vietnam to score and win.
