Myanmar manager Fereche Bayer, a German, spoke at a press conference about tomorrow's friendly against the Chinese men's soccer team.
By watching videos of Chinese men's soccer matches, I got to know them a little bit.
For us, China is definitely one of the strongest teams in Asia, as opposed to some of the other smaller nations.
Talking about Myanmar players
Maybe in the next few years one or two Myanmar players will be able to play in the Chinese Super League, which will be at a higher level than the Myanmar League. In my opinion, some Myanmar players are talented and we will prove it in the next few years. At the same time, we hope to improve our international ranking to around 100.
Myanmar soccer player Maung Maung Lwin was present at the press conference for the 2018 Myanmar vs China match in Jiangning, Nanjing. In that match, the Chinese team relied on Wu Lei's goal in the first half to eventually narrowly win 1-0. "There were a lot of experienced players in the team then, but now there are a lot of young players and we need to gain experience." As a strong team, China hopes we can do well in the tournament."
The Myanmar men's soccer team is currently ranked 160th in the world rankings. The match is scheduled to take place in Dalian on June 16 at 18:30 GMT.
