Recently, the Palestinian Football Association officially announced that the Palestinian national team will play a warm-up match with the Chinese national football team on June 20, 2023. Considering that the two teams may meet in the Asian Cup, the importance of this game to the national football team is self-evident, and it is also a very important exercise for jankovic before the Asian Cup.
Compared with Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and other strong teams in West Asia, Palestine is undoubtedly a mysterious teacher. In history, the national football team played against Palestine five times, with a total score of 3 wins and 2 draws in an absolute advantage. However, it is worth noting that in recent years, Pakistan has gradually grown into a strong team in West Asia, ranking 93rd in the FIFA world ranking system and15th in Asia, only behind the national football team12nd (8 1).
Introduction of warm-up match
The last match between the national football team and the Palestinian team was on 2018165438+10. On 20 October, the national football team drew with Palestine at home in Hainan. Originally, I thought that there was no suspense in that game, and the national football team playing at home should win smoothly, but I didn't expect the Palestinians to play very tenaciously and the scene didn't fall in the wind at all.
For the national football team and Palestine, the warm-up match on June 20, 2023 will be an important opportunity to test the lineup before the Asian Cup. According to the Asian Cup draw, the national football team is in the second grade and Palestine is in the third grade. The two teams may even meet in the group stage. Therefore, the national football team can use this game to simulate the contest with the West Asian teams. Presumably this is also the intention of the Football Association to arrange this warm-up match.
