At 4:00 pm on October 3, a breaking news came from Chinese soccer. The news was newly reported by Beijing media Beijing Youth Daily for the World Qualifier. In order to reduce the fatigue of long-distance traveling, the national team and South Korea may choose to play their home matches of the 36-team tournament in southern cities. This is obviously a positive sign for the Chinese national team.
According to media reports, the draw for the 36-team Asian round of the World Qualifiers has been announced. The national soccer team was placed in the same group with Thailand, South Korea and the winner between Guam and Singapore. In order to ensure that the national football team out of the group, the Football Association invited Malaysia and Syria to come to China to play warm-up matches based on the technical characteristics of Thailand and South Korea. It can be said that the FA has worked very carefully so far.
In this regard, Beijing Youth Daily wrote: "The national soccer team first visits Bangkok to challenge Thailand on Nov. 16 before returning home to face top seed South Korea on the 21st of that month. As the two rounds of matches are just five days apart, the Football Association decided to arrange the venues for the national soccer team and South Korea in the southern city to get enough rest. "The media also revealed that this was one of the main reasons why the team chose to place their home stadium in a southern city, as they needed to prepare in a domestic city with a climate similar to that of Thailand.
As you can see from the Beijing Youth Daily report, the Football Association made a wise decision. In order for the national soccer team to do well in the World Cup qualifiers, they considered this very carefully when choosing the venue. Although the media did not disclose the specific information, the situation not only made the national soccer team coach Xuanjankovic feel excited, but also made the national soccer team members such as Wu Lei, Ekerson and Wu Xi feel relieved, and the fans also expressed their opinions.
Some fans said, "It's better to put it in Tibet or Yunnan, you have a bit of a level yourself, but also considering that it's inconvenient to come and go, you have to think more about how you have a chance to win!"" Some fans also said, "For this level of the national soccer team, it's useless to go anywhere, so it's better to put it on the plateau, so that the South Korean team will shed their skin even if they come!"
Of course there are also fans like this, "Combining the distance to and from Bangkok and the climate adaptation factor, Haikou is definitely the best choice, but the reasoning is the same, the South Korean team came and did not have to adapt, just let the national football team comfortable!" "Let's put Lhasa! Some fans also expressed their views in this way: "Considering the distance between the combined and Bangkok as well as the factor of adapting to the climate, Haikou is definitely the best choice. Although the South Korean team came and did not need to adapt, but it is just for the comfort of the national football team!"
