In the group stage of the Asian Cup, the biggest challenge facing the Chinese men's soccer team is undoubtedly the battle with Lebanon. If you can win against your opponent, it seems logical that the national football team will advance to the next level. The Lebanese team is the closest to our country in this group, and the victory or defeat of the two countries will have a direct impact on whether the national football team can advance to the round of 16. However, looking back at historical records, the national football team has a clear advantage against Lebanon. In the past four encounters, our men's soccer team won with a score of 2-0. In this case, it seems that the national soccer team is holding a "big gift bag", and three points are just around the corner.
The national soccer team is about to embark on its journey to the Asian Cup. The three opponents in the group stage are Qatar, Lebanon and Tajikistan in order of strength. Against Qatar, the national soccer team does not have a high chance of winning, and it will be satisfied to get a point. Against Tajikistan, although the national football team is not afraid of the opponent, but it is not easy to win by a large score. 1-0 or 2-0 score seems to be more realistic. As for the match against Lebanon, it may be the second match in the group stage. If the Chinese soccer team can win, it will not be a problem for them to advance to the round of 16.
So, can the national soccer team easily beat Lebanon? Looking at the historical record, the national soccer team has the advantage. It should be noted that in history, the national soccer team has played five times against Asian teams, with a record of four wins, one draw and no losses. In the past 15 years, the national soccer team is undefeated against the Lebanese men's soccer team and has won four consecutive matches.
Despite the decline of the national soccer team, there is still a strategy to deal with Lebanon. After all, the numbers don't lie, and the national soccer team has a clear advantage against this opponent. In fact, as long as the national soccer team plays consistently, they should not lose any points against Lebanon, and taking a point or three should be a breeze.
In favor of the national football team, the Lebanese men's soccer team has been in poor form recently, failing to win in the last four matches. In warm-up matches, Lebanon first lost 2-3 to Montenegro and then 1-2 to the United Arab Emirates. In the 36 matches of the World Qualifying Tournament, Lebanon drew 0-0 with Palestine and shook hands with Bangladesh 1-1, and now has two points. Lebanon's last win was a 1-0 victory over India, while it lost 1-2 against Thailand and won 1-0 against the Maldives, but its overall strength has slipped!
Looking at the FIFA rankings, Lebanon is ranked 107th in the world and 20th in Asia, while the national soccer team is ranked 11th in Asia and 79th in the world. In any case, the overall strength of the national soccer team is still better than the opponent!
