The World Cup qualifiers for the Asian round of 18 continued on the evening of September 10, and the national football team is currently at an almost all-time low, but Saudi Arabia is not much better, and the national football team has never lost to an opponent in an official match at home, we should have confidence in the national football team. Indonesia has greatly improved its strength through naturalization, while Australia is not as good as the other, and it is not surprising that the two teams have played five or five open.
The national football team lost all the decent in the first game
National Football Team VS Saudi Arabia - Defending Home Glory
The first game of the national football team suffered a fiasco, and the fans who didn't watch much were very angry, but the fans who often watched should have been relieved, after all, most of the losses of the national football team are so unsettling, that is, the opponent can score without much effort, and the national football team has not fought back with all its might. The same is true against Japan, the original idea of the national football team is not to resist, then the opponent will also see good after scoring two or three goals, after all, the script of the last World Preliminary Tournament between the two teams is this.
However, the Japan team "does not talk about martial arts" and did not follow this smooth script, the reason is very simple, only the top two in the group can directly qualify, but they themselves and Australia and Saudi Arabia are all teams that participated in the main match of the last World Cup, and the strength is very close, and if they want to qualify directly, they must grab enough goal difference. Taking a step back, the Japanese players did not show the determination to win a big victory, and they just kicked the national football team at a normal pace.
Japan is fighting for goal difference
After the game, fans were generally dissatisfied with the Chinese team's loss of headers, after all, Mitomashi and Maeda Dairan, who scored the national football goal with headers, were not even 1.8 meters tall, but it must be seen that their headers were not scored in the confrontation with the national football defenders. The root cause of the header opportunity is that Japan has torn apart the national football defense through rapid passing, and the header attack without being marked does not require a lot of shape.
After the game, many celebrities were sneering at the defeat of the national football team, the most famous of which was Fan Zhiyi, who said that he could lose, but to lose more beautifully, yes, he could only lose well when he played, when Japan football was just starting, Teacher Fan was catching up with the good times. Compared with his brilliant career as a player, Coach Fan's coaching career is lackluster, variety fans may be more familiar with him than fans, and his authority in football evaluation is also weakening year by year.
The life of the Saudi team is not a little better than that of the national football team, they were forced to draw at home by Indonesia in the first round, although Saudi Arabia is the dominant side, but Indonesia's starting line-up has dual Netherlands and Indonesian dual nationality, it is not an exaggeration to say that Saudi Arabia is playing against a Netherlands second division team.
Saudi Arabia was held to a draw by Indonesia
Even so, Saudi Arabia coach Roberto Mancini has yet to start the team's number one star Albilawan, who was valued at 9.83 million euros in his last transfer. He came off the bench with 30 minutes left in the game, but unfortunately he didn't give Saudi Arabia any improvement, but was assimilated by the players on the field, and the same inaction.
Judging from the performance of the first round, the national football team is the weakest team in this group, Saudi Arabia must go all out to win, but Saudi Arabia has never defeated the national football team away in an official match, and the last World Preliminary Round was only a narrow home victory, and the neutral venue forced the national football team to draw, and the two teams are also expected to score a goal each in this game.
Indonesia VS Australia - Where is the ceiling for naturalization?
Qatar has won two consecutive Asian Cups with naturalized players, and Indonesia's economic strength is obviously not comparable to Qatar, but it has been steadily improving in recent years, so their naturalization is more complete than Qatar. Before independence in 1945, Indonesia was colonized by the Netherlands for three and a half centuries, so it was easy to find players with both Netherlands and Indonesian ancestry.
Indonesia's naturalized players cooperate tacitly
Australia's level has dropped rapidly since its entry into Asia, and it can now even be said that it is only a team at the bottom of the top class in Asia. The physical advantage of the soccer kangaroos is still unshakable, but their disadvantage in skill and speed is quickly negating the physical advantage. At home to Bahrain in the first round, Australia clearly did not give their opponents enough respect, and there were many malicious fouls throughout the game, and the referee could have awarded at least a few goals and a red card before centre-forward Yanji stomped on the opponent's head in the 77th minute, but he had previously opened the net.
Suta didn't dye red, but he put himself in an oolong
I have to say that there is providence in the dark, and it was Suta, who escaped the red card, who set himself up in the last minute of regular time to cause the team to lose. He was promoted to the Premier League with Leicester last season but was not confident of establishing himself in the Premier League, so he joined Sheffield United on loan this season and is looking to continue to achieve promotion in the Championship, perhaps because of his playing in a relatively high league.
Australia are now unsure of beating Indonesia and both teams are expected to score a goal each.
