On the afternoon of the 1st, the draw ceremony of the World Preliminary Round 12 in Asia was held in Kuala Lumpur. As the fourth team, the Chinese National Men’s Football Team is divided into Group B with Japan, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Vietnam. The “Tiejia Army” will face a more severe test.
The first three teams are tough
As the captain of the national football team Wu Xi said in an interview before, there are no weak teams that have entered the top 12 matches. In particular, the 6 teams in the top three gears are all very good. In the eyes of the outside world, it is a good thing for the Chinese team to avoid the tough and stamina “bitter masters” of South Korea, Iran and Syria. However, the national football team is still fighting a life and death battle with Japan and Saudi Arabia.
The Japanese team will play in the top 12 matches in the “All European Class”. As the strongest team in Asia today, qualifying for the World Cup finals is their only goal. With a historical battle record, the Chinese team has been defeated for 23 years and now has many naturalized players. Whether Li Tie can lead his team to play a good performance in the duel with the Japanese team is worth looking forward to.
In the history of the confrontation with the “Kangaroo Army”, the national football team’s record is also at a disadvantage. Although the overall strength of the Australian team has declined in recent years, if the top 12 matches still adopt the home and away game system, the long-distance flight to Australia will be a physical fitness for the international team. Another challenge.
In recent years, the Chinese team has played against Saudi Arabia not many times. The historical record of the two sides is between the best. Facing the strong teams in West Asia, the national football team must play a good match at home. Oman and Vietnam are in the fifth and sixth gears. The Chinese team has an advantage in the history of the confrontation with these two teams. The top 12 matches must ensure that they get enough points on these two teams.
The schedule changes from difficult to easy to test the state
After the top 12 groupings were released, the specific schedule of the Chinese team also came into being: September 2nd away to Australia, September 7th and October 7th consecutive home games, opponents are Japan and Vietnam, October 12. Japan challenged Saudi Arabia in an away game. On November 11th and 16th, they played at home with Oman and Australia successively. On January 27 next year, the Chinese team will go to an away game to challenge Japan. On the first day of the Lunar New Year (February 1), they will play an away game against Vietnam. On March 24, 2022, they will recruit Saudi Arabia at home. On March 29, 2022, they will play the final away game against Oman. One round of competition.
It is very important for the Chinese team to play the first three rounds of the top 12 games. The first two matches against Australia and Japan also mean that the “Tiejiajun” has no time for gradual progress, but will be taken out at the beginning of the top 12. Best state.
Judging from the current situation, the Chinese Super League will be suspended in September, October and November to make way for the national team. The national football team will start preparing for the game in mid-August and enter the long-term training camp. In the long competition cycle, how to adjust the pressure and mentality of coaches and players in closed training is a problem that the national team needs to pay attention to.Return to Sohu to see more
