At 20:30 on March 21, Beijing time, the Chinese men's football team played away against Singapore, and under the leadership of the new coach Ivankovic, the national football team once again embarked on the journey of impacting the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
According to the official website of the Chinese Football Association, the national football team has met Singapore 16 times in history, with a record of 11 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, scoring 32 goals and conceding 8 goals.
The last time the national football team lost to Singapore was in the Merlion Cup Invitational Tournament in December 1983, when the national team lost 1-0 away. In the 40 years since, the national football team has been unbeaten against Singapore in 12 games, 10 wins and 2 draws.
On the morning of March 21, the famous sports commentator Huang Jianxiang posted an article about the Chinese team's away game against Singapore.
Huang Jianxiang posted: "The Chinese team is away against Singapore. The dismal exit from the Asian Cup has caused everyone's confidence in the national football team to fall to a record low, so many people have little hope for Singapore. I still adhere to the view since the Asian Cup: the Chinese team does not have the strength to defeat several Asian powerhouses such as Japan, South Korea, Iran, and Australia, and is also at a disadvantage in the face of Qatar, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Syria, Uzbekistan, etc., but if the level of normal performance is normal, it will at least reach the top 18 in the Asian World Cup qualifiers, and be able to fight to the end, rather than going out early and losing hope. The current new head coach, as long as he can repair the team's self-perception and basically play at his true level normally, can complete the goal of qualifying from the group, that is to say, it does not take a miracle and a super level to win the two six points in Singapore. These two games, in fact, are mainly the first away game to break the opponent's psychology, and it will be more stable when you return to the home field. Based on the above judgment, the away game against Singapore, the national football team can win smoothly!
