In addition, in the latest world ranking, the national soccer team is ranked 80th and New Zealand is ranked 105th, a difference of 25 places, the rankings seem to be very different, the national soccer team is ranked first, in fact, New Zealand is much stronger, as can be seen from the past results. Now the national soccer team has become the third or fourth level in Asia, and New Zealand's strength can be among the second level in Asia. Coupled with the home game, the national football team can be very fierce.
What is even worse for the national soccer team is that a new coach cannot be identified so far, which will have a great impact on the preparation of the national soccer team. Therefore, if the national soccer team goes to New Zealand for a warm-up match next month, they will probably lose the match. As long as they avoid outscoring New Zealand, losing by 2 goals will be the bottom line.
The national soccer team hasn't played an international match for almost a year in preparation for the World Cup qualifiers and the Asian Cup finals, so it's necessary to play against other national teams, which will help test the team's strength and practice the lineup. It doesn't matter if you lose. Daring to try and make mistakes is a very appropriate way to prepare.
