No one expected that after the national football team lost 1-3 to Vietnam away from home, it would be able to force a draw with the Saudi men's football team, the second in the group, in Sharjah, to avoid three consecutive defeats! In the absence of four naturalized players and several core players wu lei, Li Lei and Wu Xi, it is indeed not easy to play a draw with the powerful Saudi Arabia. Although the scene is not very good, but the mental outlook of the national football team has been greatly improved than before, although the ability is not as good as the opponent, but the good villains also kicked out a trace of blood. Of course, there is actually a reason for the ability to draw with Saudi Arabia, in fact, Saudi Arabia has already obtained the opportunity to enter the World Cup in advance before the start of the game, so many fans believe that this game is actually suspected of releasing water in Saudi Arabia.
In any case, without a fiasco to Saudi Arabia, the dignity of the national football team has been preserved, and it is a windfall to be able to draw saudi arabia. According to media reports, the senior management of the Football Association was even more relieved after learning the result of the match, and the international footballers could also breathe a little relief. At present, the national football team has left Sharjah and departed for Oman to prepare for the final round of the World Preliminary Round. Oman's opponents, although the international ranking is the same as China, are in the 70s, and their overall strength is still a big gap with the top Asian teams like Japan and Saudi Arabia. However, after all, the national football team is fighting away this time, coupled with the pressure of domestic public opinion, so Li Xiaopeng asked the whole team not to relax its vigilance.
In the last match, the national football team and Oman finally shook hands 1-1. Therefore, in the second battle between the national football team and Oman, the goal of the national football team is also to ensure that it cannot lose to Oman. Victory over or draw with Oman will ensure that the national football team's ranking in Group B is not surpassed by Vietnam. At present, the national football team is 1 win, 3 draws, 5 losses and 6 points in group B, while Vietnam is 1 win and 8 losses in group B. However, considering that Vietnam's opponent in the last World Preliminary Tournament is Japan, as long as the Japanese team does not release water and deliberately loses to Vietnam, then the national football team's group stage ranking will not be surpassed by Vietnam.
In fact, as early as before Li Tie left class, there were media outlets that the Football Association's goal for this round of 12 matches, the Football Association did not expect the national football team to be able to qualify in the group, their goal was to train Li Tie and strive to enter the World Cup in 2026, so the national football team signed a contract with Li Tie for 5 years and 40 million yuan until the end of the 2026 World Cup. Unfortunately, Li Tie himself did not argue, and made a lot of scandals outside the field, which made the management of the Football Association angry, and eventually led to Li Tiecang's dismissal.
The final battle between the national football team and Oman, as long as it is guaranteed not to lose miserably to the opponent, can be accepted for the fans, after all, the national football team has no chance to qualify in this World Preliminary Tournament. After the end of the World Preliminary Round, the focus of the work of the Football Association and the national football team will be on preparing for the Asian Cup to be held in China next year.
