In the newly released global soccer power list, our soccer team is ranked 80th, while New Zealand is ranked 105th, with a difference of up to 25 places. Behind the seemingly disparate rankings, the rise of New Zealand's soccer strength is actually hidden. Looking back at the historical record, the strength of New Zealand should not be underestimated, has long been above our country. Nowadays, our soccer level is only in the middle and lower reaches of Asia, while New Zealand is expected to be among the top teams in Asia. In addition to the home field advantage, our soccer team prospect is worrying.
What is even more worrying is that our soccer team has not yet decided on a new coach, and this uncertainty will have a significant impact on the team's preparations. If our soccer team goes to New Zealand for a warm-up match next month, we are afraid that we will face a tough battle. Even if they try their best to avoid losing by a large margin, losing by two goals may already be the limit.
For a long time, our soccer team has not participated in international tournaments for a year in preparation for the World Cup qualifiers and the Asian Cup finals. Therefore, competing against other national teams is crucial to testing the strength of the team and honing the lineup. Even if they lose, the courage to challenge and make mistakes is a necessary part of the team's growth.
