On March 25, the Chinese men's soccer team is about to play its second warm-up match against the New Zealand men's soccer team. Beijing Youth Daily says the referee for the match will be South Korean Kim Yoo-Sung, who served as the fourth official in the first match between the two sides.
Compared to the Thai referee who officiated the first match, he has enforced the Chinese team several times and came to China to enforce the Chinese Super League's Sivakorn. Jin Yucheng has enforced fewer matches for the Chinese team, and the scale of enforcement needs to be taken seriously by the Chinese team.
From October 19 to 26, 1975, China played 12 official international matches (FIFA certified) against New Zealand. China's record was 3 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses. on June 28, 1996, China defeated New Zealand 2-0 at the Workers Stadium in Beijing. Since then, China has never lost to this opponent, but in the next four matches (including the match between the two teams on the 23rd of this month), the teams drew.
Currently, China's international ranking is 25 places higher than that of their opponents. The Chinese team failed to win the match on the 23rd. Therefore, according to the rules, the national soccer team's ranking points did not increase or decrease. Once they still fail to win or even lose to their opponents on the 26th, the Chinese team's points and international ranking will both drop, which is not conducive to the team's efforts to gain the benefit of the group draw for the next match.
