On October 10th, the night is low, at 19:35, the Chinese men's football team will usher in a friendly match with Vietnam, which is undoubtedly a severe test for the national football team. Looking back at the last world qualifier, the national football team had a score of 1-3 defeated Vietnam, this time, we can not tolerate another defeat. We have no choice but to go all out and beat our opponents in this revenge match. If we lose, it will be a shameful record since 63 years ago. Unfortunately, the CCTV5 sports channel will not be broadcasting this game, the program schedule conflicts with the snooker program.
For Vietnam, the history is in their favor. They have won nine and lost one of their encounters, but domestic fans are still haunted by that sole defeat. That match took place on the first day of the 2022 Lunar New Year, and the national football team recorded a huge humiliation by losing unexpectedly in a festive atmosphere. The loss was also the first defeat for the national soccer team in the history of their encounters with Vietnam, which is still hard for many fans to let go of.
Today's national soccer team has been refreshed and revitalized by the addition of numerous young players, such as Fang Hao, a rookie at the Asian Games. Obviously, Jankovic hopes to use this opportunity to revitalize the flag of the national football team and make a difference in the Asian Cup and the next world qualifier. After all, the future of a national team that relies on veterans is in jeopardy. In this friendly match against Vietnam, we were able to witness Jankovic's ability to change blood. If we continue to rely on veterans and lack the courage to change blood, the future of the national football team is still not optimistic.
If we can beat Vietnam, we will realize our revenge. But if we lose, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the fans. Although the national football team has an advantage in terms of historical record, the strength of the opponent is not comparable to the past.
In 63 years of meetings, the national soccer team has never lost to Vietnam twice in a row. Once this loss occurs, it will create a new shame in history, which is something that all fans do not want to see.
Perhaps CCTV has little confidence in the national soccer team, choosing to broadcast the Wuhan Open snooker tournament live at this time of the year instead of the match between the national soccer team and Vietnam.
