The final round of the Round of 12 is about to begin, and the first to start the war will be the showdown between Iran and Lebanon. As the boss of the Asian region, Iran's defeat to South Korea in the last round was very unhappy for the players, and this time they are ready to wash the dark horse Lebanon in blood to boost morale and regain the throne of the first place in the group, laying a solid foundation for this year's World Cup group draw.
Iran played strong in this round of 12 and has won 22 points and won seven games so far. However, suffering from the strong catch-up of the South Korean team, the Persian Iron Horse has never been able to lock the top seat, which makes them feel distressed. In the last round, the Iranian strike group led by Azmun and Taremi defeated Son Heung-min. The colours of Asia's top stars are also evident. This is unacceptable to Iranians with high self-esteem. Now they can finally return home against Lebanon, who is only 15th in Asia. The Iranian Football Association has issued a military order that it must end with a big victory.
Iran's performance in asian competitions in recent years has declined, and the rise of teams such as Japan, Australia, and Qatar has put the Persian Iron Rider under tremendous pressure. In the last round of World Cup qualifiers, Iran was in the same group as the national football team, when the national football team drew 0-0 with Iran at home, and the away game was only a small loss, which also showed the decline in the strength of the Iranian team. Fortunately, in this year's round of 12, the Iranian team drew a relatively relaxed group, avoiding strong opponents such as Australia, China and Saudi Arabia. In the group stage, except for two legs against South Korea, the remaining seven matches were won against teams belonging to the same West Asia, and scored 12 goals and conceded only 1 goal.
Obviously, the Iranian team's ability to abuse vegetables is far better than that of playing a strong team. In the past against Lebanon, Iran won six games and lost only one. Iran won all three games at home, with scores of 1-0, 4-0 and 5-0. It can be seen that Lebanon is not an opponent of Iran at all, not to mention that this time the Iranian team still has the task of impacting the top of the group, and the players will not release water. In the case of Jahanbakhsh, Azmun and other sharp fronts in succession, Lebanon's fragile defense line is afraid that it will collapse. At that time, the pressure will all come to the South Korean side, and if they can't choose, then the first place in the group will be Iranian.
For Lebanon, it was still looking forward to winning the third place in the group, continuing the true color of the dark horse to the end, competing with australian and South American teams in the play-offs, so as to strive for the first time in history to enter the World Cup finals. But. In the last round, the Lebanese team lost 0-3 to Syria at the bottom, burying all their hopes.
Today, Lebanon, like the national football team, has the same six points, and they will most likely miss the World Cup. However, in contrast, the Chinese team participated in the Competition for the World Cup in South Korea and Japan in 2002, so that the Lebanese team will not be able to match the feat of the national football team participating in the World Cup for the time being.
What's more, the opponent in the last round of the national football team is Oman, even if Li Xiaopeng's team can't win, it is very dramatic to get a draw, so that the points of the national football team will be at least 7 points, which will surpass Lebanon's points, which will give Lebanon the idea of matching the national football team, completely broken.
