As night falls, on October 10th at 19:35, the Chinese men's football team will welcome a friendly match against Vietnam, which will undoubtedly be a severe test for the national football team. Thinking back to the last World Qualifier, the national soccer team suffered a 1-3 defeat against Vietnam, a loss that still haunts us. This time, we must not repeat the same mistake, this revenge battle, we have no choice but to go all out to beat the opponent. If we lose again, it will be a shameful record since 1959. Unfortunately, CCTV CCTV5 sports channel did not arrange the live broadcast of the game, the reason is that the time of the game and the snooker program conflicts.
Vietnam has always seemed to dominate the history of our soccer team, winning nine games and losing eight, with only one defeat. However, many domestic fans are still haunted by that one defeat. It was on February 1, 2022, the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the national soccer team lost to Vietnam in that match, which was undoubtedly a huge humiliation. The result of that game also became the first loss of the national soccer team in the history of confrontation with Vietnam, making it hard for many fans to let go.
To this day, the national soccer team has undergone a sea change. The addition of many young players, including Asian Games standout Fang Hao, has given Yankovic's national soccer team a lot of hope. Obviously, Jankovic hopes to use this opportunity to revitalize the national football team and build up strength for the Asian Cup and the next world qualifier. After all, the national soccer team that relies on old players has lost hope. In this friendly match against Vietnam, we got a glimpse of Jankovic's ability to change blood. If we continue to rely on old players and lack the courage to change, the future of the national soccer team is still not optimistic.
If we can beat Vietnam, we will complete our revenge. But if we lose again, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain. Despite the national soccer team's dominance in the historical record, Vietnam is no longer the fish out of water in Southeast Asia.
In the 63-year history of the confrontation between the two countries, the national soccer team has never lost to Vietnam twice in a row. If the national soccer team loses again, it will set a new record of shame, which many fans do not want to see.
CCTV may not have had enough confidence in the national soccer team as they chose 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.
