In a month's time, the 36-team World Cup qualifying tournament in Asia will officially begin, and the Chinese men's soccer team will start to fight towards the goal of returning to the World Cup. Soon, the 36 teams in the Asian region for the World Cup qualifiers will be competing fiercely. The Chinese men's soccer team will do their best to return to the World Cup.
However, in order to make a successful breakthrough, the Chinese team needs to overcome many difficulties because the opponents we have to face are just too strong! Because of Singapore's limited strength, our direct competitors for the lineup are actually South Korea and Thailand. In order to prepare for the World Qualifier, the two teams, including South Korea, also scheduled training and warm-up matches. They beat African powerhouse Tunisia 4-0 and then Vietnam 6-0, showing the strength of a top Asian team!
South Korea is ranked 26th in the FIFA rankings and 3rd in Asia. on the other hand, South Korea's rival Vietnam, a Southeast Asian team, is only ranked 95th in the FIFA rankings, which shows the huge gap between the two teams just from the rankings. However, through rapid progress in recent years, Vietnam has grown into a force to be reckoned with in Asian soccer. Although they lost 0-2 to China in a warm-up match that ended a few days ago, the Vietnamese were not at a disadvantage throughout the match. Moreover, Vietnam is far ahead of the Chinese men's soccer team in terms of possession, shot attempts and threatening offense, so this time they went head-to-head with South Korea. Although everyone thinks Vietnam will be hard to win, they should at least have a fighting chance.
The scene of the match, however, was slightly surprising to everyone. Just six minutes into the match, Korea scored. Min-Ja Kim took advantage of a corner kick attack and nodded the ball to break the goal and help Korea break the deadlock early to take a 1-0 lead. Korea made a comeback in the 27th minute. Lee Jae-seong sent a subtle direct shot to his teammates. Hwang Hee-chan fired a shot from inside the box to extend the lead to 2-0 and take firm control of the match.
When the game changed sides, Korea's offense didn't wane at all. First, Son Heung-miao created an opponent's oops, then he scored a goal with the help of his teammates to extend the score to 4-0 while killing the game's suspense early on. From there, Lee Gang-in and Jung Uyoung broke through again to make it 6-0, and South Korea ended up beating Vietnam 6-0 to make it three wins in a row in the warm-up matches. In the three matches, Korea scored 11 goals but didn't concede a single one, with perfect offense and defense on both ends of the field.
In November, the Chinese men's soccer team will face the South Korean team will be played at home. With the current form of the Koreans, I am afraid that it is very difficult for the Chinese team to pose a threat to them, and one of the exit seats in Group C has already been pocketed by the Koreans in advance. From the current point of view, it is difficult for the Chinese team to pose a threat to the Koreans. In Group C, the Koreans have already locked up an exit spot in advance.
