Indonesia have suffered repeated Waterloos in past matches, yet Saudi Arabia suffered a cold loss against this team, suffering a 0-2 defeat.
Meanwhile, Australia also had an unexpected and sad 2-2 handshake against bottom-ranked Bahrain.
Faced with consecutive losses of 0-2 and 2-2, the national soccer team struggled against the odds but were not pulled apart by Saudi Arabia and Australia, instead they clung on to their opponents and were fortunate to get a crucial assist.
Although the national soccer team suffered a loss in the match, it is by no means in a desperate situation. The upcoming 7th round of the tournament will be an excellent time for the national soccer team to fight for points.
According to the 7th round of the matchup situation, the national football team will face the low status of the Saudi Arabia team, the possibility of winning a point or even all three points should not be underestimated.
What is the meaning of this statement?
The Saudi Arabia team has internal and external difficulties, the competition in the domestic league is fierce, and many Saudi players lack the opportunity to play in real games. In addition to the recent change of coach, the preparation time is insufficient, the team is not effective.
Secondly, although the national football team has been given a full rest, the Football Association has missed out on two key supports.
On the one hand, it has been promised that the start time of the next season's Chinese Super League will be adjusted to coincide with the seventh round of the 18-team tournament to ensure that the national football team will have sufficient training time. On the other hand, the naturalization of players has made substantial progress, with the possibility of Brazilian player Sergio joining the team greatly increased, and the path of naturalization of former Cangzhou Lions foreign aid player Oscar is also getting smoother.
In anticipation, if two strong reinforcements are successfully introduced before March next year, the strength of the national soccer team will be greatly increased, and the possibility of winning on the road will also be significantly improved.
Elsewhere in Round 7, Bahrain are away to Japan and defeat seems inevitable as they could be the first team to be eliminated.
Australia are slight favorites against Indonesia and a three-point win would relegate Indonesia to a second underperforming team.
It's not looking good for the Aussies to follow that up, as they still face a second showdown with Japan and are still at risk of dropping points.
Against China, the most optimistic prediction for the remaining four matches is to draw Saudi Arabia on the road, remain undefeated against Australia at home, and then achieve a double against Indonesia and Bahrain. This would give China a record of two wins and two draws, totaling eight points and expected to advance directly to the World Cup with 14 points.
Even in the event of an upset, if you can gain more than 10 points and finish in the top four, your hopes of advancing to the next round are still very slim.
