China's men's soccer team goes all out in World Cup qualifying campaign
After a month's wait, the 36-team Asian World Cup qualifying tournament is about to kick off. The Chinese men's soccer team is about to embark on an all-out battle for their dream World Cup ticket. With 36 Asian teams gathered together, a fierce battle is about to begin. The Chinese men's soccer team has vowed to go all out and fight for the honor of returning to the World Cup.
However, the road to success is not straight. The opponents are strong and the difficulty of breaking through is self-evident. Although Singapore's strength is limited, their real rivals are South Korea and Thailand. In preparation for the World Qualifiers, Korea and other strong teams have been training and warming up for a long time. They beat Tunisia and Vietnam by 4-0 and 6-0 scores, showing the strength of the top teams in Asia!
In the FIFA rankings, South Korea is ranked 26th and 3rd in Asia, while rival Vietnam is ranked only 95th. However, Vietnam has risen rapidly in recent years and has become a force to be reckoned with in Asian soccer. Despite a 0-2 defeat against China in a recent warm-up match, Vietnam were not the underdogs in the match. Possession rate, number of shots, threat of attack and other data are ahead of the Chinese men's football team, facing the challenge of South Korea, Vietnam has at least a fight.
The match progressed unexpectedly, with Korea breaking the deadlock just six minutes into the match, with a header from Min-Ja Kim giving his team the lead. In the 27th minute, Hwang Hee Chan's shot extended the lead again, giving Korea a 2-0 lead. In the second half, Korea's offense continued and Son Heung-Miao's goal extended the score to 4-0, sealing the win early. In the end, South Korea beat Vietnam 6-0, making it three wins in a row in the warm-up, with perfect performances on the offensive and defensive ends.
In November, the Chinese men's soccer team will face South Korea at home. With the current state of the Korean team, the Chinese team is afraid that it is difficult to pose a threat. In Group C, the South Korean team has locked a place in advance, the pressure on the Chinese team can be imagined.
