The international warm-up match between Argentina and Australia in June was held in the Chinese capital, Beijing. This news caused a heated discussion across the internet. Various voices gave mixed reviews and Chinese fans were upset. This reflects the lack of confidence in Chinese soccer and the incompetent amateur lethargic management of the CFA. Abandoning the warm-up program with Argentina and choosing teams like Myanmar and Palestine to warm-up is really unthinkable.
Of course, there are many reasons for media fans regarding the national soccer team's warm-up plans with Myanmar and Palestine. Why did they choose Myanmar as a soft target to play? The reason is simple. After the new coach Yankovic took over, he could not find Southeast and Northwest in the two warm-up matches against Singapore. Myanmar is now chosen to pinch a soft target to gain confidence, prepare for the next match and raise the morale of the Chinese men's soccer team whose mud cannot support the wall.
Once the domestic media stated the reason for this, the fans will see them wanting to vomit blood and find a Myanmar warm up game to gain confidence, so how valuable is that confidence? Playing chess in a stinking basket only gets worse, play against a top master and even if you lose tragically you can still gain the value of playing with a weaker team. From such a small thing, we can see the amateur failures of the FA managers and the precipitous drop in the standard of Chinese soccer.
At that time, China's warm-up opponents were top teams such as Brazil and France, and now they can only choose soft Myanmar for the match. But with the level of the Chinese team, can they win against Myanmar? The other team, Palestine, is not weak. Although Myanmar is a rookie chicken, isn't the Chinese men's soccer team a rookie chicken? Chickens peck at each other, and it's not like Myanmar doesn't have a chance to draw with China.
There was a lot of discussion on the internet when the national soccer team confirmed Myanmar's opponents. The first thing that came to mind was the curse of Fan Zhiyi! After the 1-5 fiasco in Thailand, Fan Zhiyi angrily spilled his guts to the Chinese men's soccer team. After losing to Thailand, he lost to Vietnam, then to Myanmar, and then there was no object to lose. Initially, an angry remark turned into a curse. The national soccer team lost 1-3 to Vietnam in the top 12. Now facing Myanmar, if you do lose, don't talk about confidence. I'm afraid it's an overwhelming curse.
