On the evening of September 28, local time, the national football team continued to train in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, preparing for two round of 12 matches with Vietnam and Saudi Arabia. In an interview, Yu Dabao, one of the three captains, said that although the first two consecutive rounds of losses to Australia and Japan saw a gap in strength, the team would never give up. The national football team playing Vietnam should adjust its mentality and give full play to the level and ability of training.
As a veteran player, Yu Dabao participated in the last Round of 12 and scored the winning goal in the home match against South Korea. Talking about the difference between the two round of 12 matches, Yu Dabao said: "Four years ago we were almost so bad that we did not participate in the World Cup, since the establishment of the team in the past two years, we have paid a lot, and we also want to achieve a good result in this round of 12, for me, there are some veteran players, are the last chance, we all want to help the team through their own efforts." Maybe the first two games didn't play well, and we also saw a gap with Australia and Japan, but we won't give up. Playing in Vietnam and Saudi Arabia is a chance, and we will be well prepared to play our own capabilities. ”
Speaking about the evaluation of the Vietnamese team, Yu Dabao said: "We did not pay much attention to it before, but we only paid attention to it at the level of the U22 Asian Cup. In the past two years, many Asian teams, including small countries, have developed very quickly, but we have to have confidence, we have an advantage against them, we have to show the ability in training when playing, adjust the mentality. ”
Previously, Yu Dabao posted two photos of his first entry into the national team and the current two photos on the social platform to compare, he said: "The main thing is to sigh, come to the national team for so many years, experience so many games, and cherish every day in the national team." ”
