As previously reported by the media, the head coach of the national soccer team, Jankovic, will travel to Qatar on May 10th to participate in the Asian Cup draw. The three opponents that the national team will face will be revealed soon, which will have a direct impact on the preparation of the national team and their performance in this Asian Cup.
Due to the long absence of the national soccer team from warm-up matches and poor performance in the last world qualifying tournament, the national soccer team dropped to 11th place in the Asian ranking and can only be used as the second Asian Cup, which means that the national soccer team's opponents are from the first, the third and the fourth, but based on the current strength and technical tactics of the national soccer team, if you want to progress to the group stage of the Asian Cup, you have to get the fourth team to get three points and get as much goal difference as possible.
The fourth team has a total of six, respectively, India, Tajikistan, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong, China, Indonesia, from the strength and characteristics of the six teams, the national soccer team is obviously the most do not want to meet Thailand, if Thailand, undoubtedly signing, because Thailand is not only the strongest of the six teams, Thailand and the country's soccer style is also the best.
In the recent matches between the national soccer team and Thailand, although each other, but the national soccer team twice by Thailand, but also memorable, especially in June 15, 2013, the national soccer team in Hefei Sports Center against Thailand, Camacho led the national soccer team to face the young Thailand, Thailand 5-1, the game also allows the national soccer team to refresh the bottom line, the sensation, no less than 1-2 loss to Vietnam.
The last time the national soccer team lost to Thailand, it was in the semifinals of the 2019 China Cup, the national coach was Cannavaro, and it was also the debut of Cannavaro's national soccer team, because the difference between the matches was not too big and did not cause too much repercussions, so it did not know the fans, however, from this moment onwards, Thailand gradually became one of the pains of the national soccer team.
You know, Thai players are short, they can only do enough technique, they are tenacious and aggressive like Vietnam, they are more unified in their technique and tactics, i.e. defensive counterattacks, because our players are tall, relatively inflexible, and defenders are slow to turn around, so they are with the national soccer style.
The national soccer team used to play Southeast Asian teams are very experienced, is to rely on high center tactics, using height advantage and header technology to crush each other, but Yang Xu, small wisdom, there is no high center, and now Zhang Yuning and Wu Lei, including Ickerson, is not good at the height and header, so if the national soccer team in South Korea, Syria, Thailand, and other group stage opponents, I'm afraid that will be in the bottom of the group of the Asian Cup, and even do not rule out the 0-point Possibility.
Therefore, in the next Asian Cup draw, which opponents are drawn will directly determine the survival of the national soccer team.
