As we enter the height of summer in June, an international warm-up match was staged in the capital, with the Argentina-Australia showdown sparking global debate. Public opinion was divided, and the disappointment of Chinese fans was overflowing. The phenomenon reflected the lack of confidence in China's soccer community and the amateurish and chaotic management level of the Football Association. Why abandon the warm-up with South American powerhouse Argentina in favor of Myanmar and Palestine? This is puzzling.
However, there has been much speculation in the media and among fans as to why the national soccer team chose Myanmar for their warm-up. Why did they choose this seemingly weak opponent? The reason may be simple. The new coach, Yang Kovic, has suffered a tough time in the warm-up match against Singapore since he took over, and now picks Myanmar as a breakthrough, intending to get back the confidence through a win and build up the strength for the next matches. After all, our men's soccer team is in a rebuilding period, and a win would certainly boost their morale.
Faced with the interpretation of the domestic media, fans have expressed difficulty in accepting. Playing chess in a stinky basket will only make it stinkier and stinkier; whereas playing against the top masters, even if one loses, one can learn from it the value of playing against the weaker teams. This incident has exposed the amateurish blunders of the FA management and the serious decline in the standard of our soccer.
In the past, the Chinese team has played against top teams like Brazil and France, but now they have to choose a soft opponent like Myanmar. With the strength of our soccer team, can we win against Myanmar? Another opponent, Palestine, is not to be underestimated. Although Myanmar looks weak, our men's soccer team is not to be taken lightly. With both sides in the thick of the battle, Myanmar may not be out of the running for a draw with China.
When the national soccer team announced the news of playing Myanmar, the Internet set off a frenzy. People couldn't help but think of Fan Zhiyi's angry words! Fan Zhiyi raged against the Chinese men's soccer team after the 1-5 fiasco in Thailand. Since then, the team has lost against Vietnam and Myanmar, and the angry words have gradually turned into a curse. Now facing Myanmar, if they lose again, I'm afraid this will be a disastrous curse.
