Fans are buzzing about the opponents and the draw results of the Round of 12, speculating which teams our team will be more likely to qualify against, yet no one can predict the outcome. But one thing is for sure, that is, we should not be afraid of any opponent, go all out in training and preparation, maybe this time we can really break through and step into the
World Cup
The stage.
However, there are also challenges in the preparation for the Top 12 tournament, which still utilizes a home-and-away system. The toughest issue for our FA is undoubtedly the immigration of players. Our team will play the first six rounds of the 12-team tournament in September, October and November, with the first and fourth rounds challenging second- and third-ranked teams on the road, respectively, and the remaining four rounds being played at home.
In the Top 40 match, our team was originally enjoying the advantage of Suzhou's home field, but due to the difference in anti-epidemic policies at home and abroad, Syria and Maldives were unable to come to China, and our team had to turn to the UAE to finish the remaining matches. Fortunately, we were not deterred by this sudden change and managed to beat our opponents.
Therefore, this 12 strong match we must prevent similar situations from happening again. For all kinds of problems that may be encountered in the schedule, the Football Association and the national football team have made a full prediction, and the various plans have been discussed seven or eight. Moreover, a number of football associations have expressed their willingness to adopt the "12 strong match system". From the point of view of epidemic prevention and hardware conditions, the tournament system is the easiest for us as the host to apply. If all of the Top 12 matches are played in China, the possibility of qualification will be greatly increased by virtue of the home field advantage.
