With the in-depth promotion of the Asian competition of the World Preliminaries, the national football team has performed well in the last four rounds, ranking second in the group with 7 points, and the goal difference has reached 1, successfully jumping from the third to the second in the group. This achievement not only reflects the recent good competitive state of the national football team, but also reflects the improvement of the overall strength of the team.
In contrast, their opponents in the same group, Thailand, have not been as good as they could have been in late. In the latest match with South Korea, the Thai team suffered a crisp defeat with a score of 0-3, not only being at a disadvantage compared with the national football team in terms of points and goal difference, but also suffering a lot of psychological blows. Thailand's qualification situation is in jeopardy, and they urgently need to get a good result in the next matches to make a comeback.
In the current group situation, the South Korean team basically locked up the top position in the group with its excellent performance, while the Singapore team basically declared out due to a number of consecutive winless games. In this way, the contest between the national football team and the Thai team will directly determine the second place in the group. Judging from the current situation, the national football team undoubtedly occupies a clear advantage.
In the upcoming key matches, the national football team is facing two major challenges. The first is the suspension and absence of Wu Lei, the core of the attack. Wu Lei played well in the previous games, scoring 4 goals and providing assists in two games against Singapore, and his absence will undoubtedly have a big impact on the offensive firepower of the national football team. The second is the absence of midfielder Lee Won-il. Lee Won-il's role in the team's midfield is crucial, his organisation and scheduling skills are unmatched, and his absence will greatly reduce the control of the national football team's midfield.
In the face of such a challenge, the national football team needs to adjust its tactics as soon as possible and find suitable replacements. Naturalised player Alan is seen as a suitable candidate to replace Wu Lei, and he has also performed well in previous games, with the ability to change the trend of the game at crucial moments. In terms of midfield, the national football team expects players such as Li Ke and Xu Xin to return and enhance the team's midfield strength.
Despite many challenges, the overall situation of the national football team is still very good. As long as they can get three points against Thailand, the national football team will be able to ensure qualification. Moreover, even if the worst-case scenario is taken into account - the national football team loses to Thailand, as long as Thailand loses to Singapore in the next game, and the national football team can maintain the advantage of goal difference, the national football team still has a chance to advance.
In terms of data, the national football team has scored 7 points in four rounds, which is second only to South Korea in the group. At the same time, the national football team's goal difference reached 1, which also reflects the team's balanced performance at both offensive and defensive ends. In contrast, the performance of the Thai team is relatively underwhelming, and they often struggle to achieve good results against strong teams, which also provides an opportunity for the national football team to take advantage of in the next games.
Judging from the performance of the players, the players of the national football team also showed a good competitive state. In addition to Wu Lei and Li Yuanyi, other players also played their own characteristics in the game. For example, goalkeeper Yan Junling defused many dangerous situations in the game to save the victory for the team, the players on the back line also performed well, successfully intercepting the opponent's attack on many occasions, and in the frontcourt, in addition to Wu Lei, other attacking players also showed good scoring ability.
The national football team cannot be taken lightly. Although the Thai team has not been performing well recently, they are a good team after all, with a lot of experience and good technical and tactical ability. Therefore, the national football team must remain highly vigilant in the game and go all out to win.
The performance of the national football team in the world preliminary round was remarkable, and they managed to occupy the second place in the group with their excellent record and consistent performance. Although facing the challenge of Wu Lei and Li Yuanyi's absence, the national football team still has hope of qualifying. As long as the team can maintain a consistent performance and play their own characteristics in key moments, I believe they will be able to successfully advance to the next stage of the competition.
For the majority of fans, the next game will undoubtedly be a visual feast. They look forward to the national football team showing more outstanding performance in the game and adding glory to the country. At the same time, they also hope that the national football team can overcome all difficulties and successfully advance to the next stage of the competition, bringing more exciting games and unforgettable memories to the fans.
