At the Beijing hour on July 4, the former

Captain Fan Zhiyi has given his personal opinion on the upcoming first match of the Top 12 against Australia. He believes that despite

Might have lost 1-2, but that's not a bad thing. As September 2 approaches locally, the first match of the World Preliminary 12 will be played

will challenge Australia on the road. Facing such a strong opponent, Fan Zhiyi was blunt: "This game is quite tough for our team, and I guess we may lose by 1-2. Although in my heart I don't want to see such a result, losing is not a bad thing, especially for the first match. Emotionally and mentally, both teams are probably better prepared, but soccer games are often challenging and every game is a tough battle." Currently, the average age of our men's soccer team reaches 30.3 years old, which is one of the older groups in the 12-team tournament. However, in Fan Zhiyi's view, 30 years old does not mean a sharp decline in the player's condition: "30 years old is the golden period of the athlete, I played abroad when I was already 28, 29 years old. With the development of soccer science, the retirement age of athletes is also being extended. The experience of older players on the field accumulates with age, and to some extent, the maturity of players even exceeds that of younger players." Looking back to 2013 when Camacho coached

What's the level? At this rate, we may have to lose Vietnam. If Thailand loses, Vietnam and Myanmar may lose. Now, talking about Vietnamese soccer again after eight years, he said, "When we play Vietnam away in the Round of 12, I will personally go to Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, I'll buy my own plane ticket and go for the

Come on. I'm gonna see what the Vietnamese can do to me. You guys have to understand that I've been watching you grow up, but to get past the

The level of skill and tactics was shown in this game, and Director Lee was very humble. We truly support him, not only because of his performance, but also because of his dedication to the entire

Put in a great effort. He took over such a team more than 500 days ago, and his courage and the layout of the Top 40 in the face of many difficulties, which eventually led the team to four consecutive victories and successfully entered the Top 12, fully demonstrated his wisdom." Fan Zhiyi continued, "In the process of communicating with Li Tie, I have been paying attention to the game and summarizing the opponent, including the changes of director Li. There is an unspoken feeling between us because we have been communicating and communicating all the time. In the process of communication, we always remain honest because we see things from the perspective of the opponent and ourselves, which shows that Director Li has been thinking deeply and working hard for the success of each game."
