On the evening of September 10, Beijing time, in the second round of the top 18 of the World Preliminaries, the national football team will sit at the Dalian Barracuda Bay Football Stadium to face the Saudi Arabian team. For the Chinese team, this is another weak against strong game, unlike against the Japan team, the national football team has the right time and place, the Barracuda Bay football stadium is very devilish, the field conditions are first-class, I hope the national football team can create a miracle and get points on Saudi Arabia. CCTV5, CCTV5+, and CCTV16 are not broadcast live.
This game is also a life-and-death duel between national football coach Ivankovic and Saudi Arabia coach Mancini, because in the first round of the round of 18, China and Saudi Arabia suffered two black starts, the national football team lost 0-7 to Japan away, and the Saudi team was forced to draw by Indonesia at home, and both coaches were forced to the edge of the cliff. If the national football team loses two in a row, Ivan may give up his position. Similarly, if the Saudi team can't win the national football team, Mancini, who has the highest salary in world football, will not escape the fate of being out of class.
At the pre-match press conference on the evening of the 9th, Ivan talked about the preparations, saying that we are here with excitement and see so many reporters, this is the first home stadium of the round of 18, in the football city of Dalian, I believe that the fans will be full of home stadiums. Hopefully we will repay the fans with a good performance. The players have recovered physically and mentally, and Liu Yang will miss the game due to injury. "The last big defeat is not common in football, but there is unpredictability in football. We need to get back into shape and get out of the doldrums. ”
Ivan said that from the time of the draw, we knew that it would be very difficult to qualify, the first three opponents were all World Cup regulars, Bahrain and Indonesia showed strength in the first round, we cannot relax, we need to deal with the next games with all our might. We can't just focus on attacking or defending, but of course it's still more important to defend well in this game. "Saudi players have a lot of experience, they often play in the World Cup, they have won against Argentina, there is no doubt about the quality, we have to pay attention to the opponent. The opposing head coach is a championship coach, and his experience will also bring great help to the Saudi team. ”
When asked if the game was an "Ivan-esque" game, Ivan appeared to be less confident, "From a team point of view, it is impossible to change the style of play overnight. We have had our own style of play through a period of preparation, and the coaching staff can't change the team overnight. "We try to get the players to play in positions that are familiar to the club as much as possible, to play with their characteristics and to serve the whole. The real game is not a video game, the players have their own ideas and need to be together for a long time to grind together. ”
Bahrain took all three points from Australia and Indonesia got one point from Saudi Arabia, and the national football team finished bottom of the group. Former Saudi Arabia international Saleh Mutlaq said of the upcoming match between China and Saudi Arabia, "Before the start of the qualifiers, everyone thought that Indonesia was the weakest team in the group, but the truth is the opposite, judging from the results, the Chinese team is the weakest. "We consider ourselves one of the strongest teams in Asian football and theoretically the Indonesian game should not have a psychological impact on us. There is a 'strange intermingling' between the Saudi Football Federation's president and Mancini's statements and decisions. ”
Shanghai Port Foreign Aid Oscar "Kills Heart"! At the Harbor Media Open Day on the 9th, a reporter asked Oscar, "10 years ago, the Brazil team also suffered a big defeat, in the face of such a heavy defeat, how to get out of the pain?" "I think it's a little different, for Brazil, that is the defeat is more serious. But the Chinese team has not had particularly good results for a long time. I also hope that Chinese football will get better as soon as possible. ”
