At the beginning of 2022, the China men's soccer team lost to the Vietnamese team 1:3 in the Asian World Cup preliminaries, which disappointingly ended the journey of impacting Qatar 2022 in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. In the following time, the national football team almost lost its popularity. Although the team also organized some training and competitions, the record was not ideal. This also makes fans have little confidence in the new and world preliminaries of the national football team.
In the previous group draw, China was grouped with South Korea, Thailand and Singapore in the Asian Top 36. At this stage, only the top two players in the group can qualify (enter the 18 final), in view of the national football team's experience of losing to Vietnam in the last preliminaries. Many fans believe that once the national football team slips in the match with Thailand, it will hastily end the journey of 13 degree impact on the World Cup.
National football performance
With countless skeptical eyes, the national football team went to Bangkok in a low-key manner. The beginning of World War I with Thailand, as expected. The national football team has been unable to launch a close "positional war" with the Thai team. The control of the midfield was quickly won by the Thai team, and the opponent successfully scored the first goal. Under the seemingly unfavorable situation, the situation quietly reversed.
Thailand's ambition was full of pressure, but it accidentally fell into China's defensive counterattack trap. Wei's breakthrough cross after breaking the ball in the frontcourt helped equalize the score. Xie Pengfei, who came off the bench in the second half, took advantage of the carelessness of the opposing defender to clear the ball in the penalty area again, and made a wonderful pass to help Wang Shangyuan head into the net. China team completed the reversal with 2:/kloc-0:, and responded to all questions and cold reception with victory.
