On October 5, Beijing time, before the national football team faced the Vietnamese team, the Vietnamese media began to recall the last two meetings between the two teams more than 10 years ago. But as I talked, the taste seemed to change.
Huang Quang Nam, a player of the Vietnamese team who participated in that tournament, spat bitterly in an interview with vietnamese media, saying that the weather in Hangzhou was too cold and the lawn of the Huanglong Sports Center in Hangzhou was too bad. In short, the 1-6 fiasco seems to be an external factor.
In addition, the old man listed height as the first element of the defeat of the Vietnamese team, and felt that the current Defender of the Vietnamese team was in good shape, while the height of the national football team was lowered.
At the beginning of 2009, the national football team encountered Vietnam and Syria in the 2011 Asian Cup qualifiers. In the first round of the meeting, the national football team won 6-1 against the opponent, and in the second leg, it won 2-1 against the opponent.
It is worth mentioning that in that match, the national football team lost 0-0 at home and 2-3 away to Syria, and entered the final round of the Asian Cup with the second place in the group. That is to say, the difference between the national football team at that time and the current national football team is not very large.
Speaking of the 1-6 fiasco, the Vietnamese media complained. Huang Guangnan, who participated in that game, said: "At that time, the national football team was too strong, the physical fitness was good, and the height was obviously higher than us. No matter how you ask, the former international never mentioned that the technology of the national football team at that time was far superior to that of Vietnam.
Why, in line with the famous celebrity's statement, the Vietnamese media showed a large number of pictures of national football players (especially Wu Hao) charging against the Vietnamese goalkeeper, intending to show that the national football team was suspected of fouls. But fans who have watched the game should know that four of the six goals were scored on the counter-attack through ground attacks.
In addition, Huang Guangnan also complained: "The weather away (Hangzhou) is too cold, which seriously affects us. The grounds were not good, the grass was gray, and it seemed to be dead. ”
The maximum temperature in Hangzhou in January is around 10 degrees, and the lowest temperature is about 0 degrees. As a southern city, Hangzhou's winter is definitely not cold. In 2018, when the Vietnamese U22 team won the runner-up of the U22 Asian Cup in Suzhou, it also snowed. At this time, the Vietnamese media did not mention the problem of cold weather.
At that time, the home of the national football team was the Zhejiang Huanglong Sports Center, which was the home of Zhejiang Greentown before, and its conditions were very good. Judging from the footage at the time, the lawn was in quite good condition, and it was not at all that the former Vietnamese player said that the lawn was broken.
In this year's World Preliminary Tournament, the vegetable field at the home of Vietnam was repeatedly mentioned by the Australian team, and the Australian media believed that such a grass was not up to standard, and that 1-0 did not reflect the gap in strength between the two teams.
In the 6-1 win over Vietnam, Gao Lin scored three goals, while Jiang Ning, Dewey and Arthur Junmin each scored one. Also participating in that match were Cao Yang, Jiao Zhe, Song Zhenyu, Zhou Haibin, Du Zhenyu, Huang Bowen and other players.
The Vietnamese media previously mentioned the height issue, they believe that the Vietnamese team currently has 3 defenders over 180cm in height, and called them tall defenders. But in fact, only Du Weimeng and Ruan Chengzhong reached the standard, and Gui Yuhai was still a little short. The main full-back who has just returned from injury, Vietnam's first penalty shooter, Wu Wenqing, is only 172cm. Such a lineup is air defense, and the difference between the Vietnamese team in the past is not very big.
What the star didn't mention was that the Vietnamese full-backs were dropping so fast that they were no longer the small defenders who had been able to sprint up front.
Vietnamese media believe that the height of the national football team has declined compared with 2011. This should be a statistic of average data, not the actual situation on the field.
Among the members of this national football team, in addition to the goalkeeper, Guo Tianyu, Zhang Yuning, Li Ang, Gao Zhunyi, Jiang Guangtai, Zhu Chenjie, Zhang Linpeng and others are all above 185cm. Wu Lei and Luo Guofu are shorter in height, but their running position and breakthrough ability are significantly higher than those of the Vietnamese players.
In addition, by the way, Ha Joon Min, who scored the fourth goal in a 6-1 win over Vietnam, and Zhang Linpeng, who scored the second goal in a 2-1 away win, are currently in the national football team.
