If we could have won just by fighting and fighting hard, we would have suffered a 0:7 defeat in the first round away to Japan.
Australia's soccer skills have obviously regressed compared to the 2006 World Cup, but even a skinny, bony kangaroo is stronger than a skinny rat. Despite the turbulent times they are currently going through, their overall strength still exceeds that of our national soccer team.
While the so-called media people and fans were still harboring illusions when it came to qualifying for the 18-team tournament, they might have become more sensible after the losses in the first two rounds of the 18-team tournament. They will no longer be banking on extra qualification just by occupying the top four spots in Bahrain and Indonesia, just to avoid the bottom of the pile.
How can we make sure we don't get padded? Japan clearly can't score in home games. The same goes for Saudi Arabia on the road. At home, you have the same granularity. If you play in Australia, you might be able to salvage 1 point (at home) or 0, so you'll just have to try your best to get points in Bahrain and Indonesia. Preferably, each side will win or lose.
In the two matches in October, we were defeated by Australia on the road and tried to win all the matches against Indonesia at home, which might be Ivan's strategy. This tactic is similar to the ancient art of war, "Tian Ji Racehorse". However, can the national soccer team really do it?
Currently, Indonesia is ranked 129th in the world by FIFA, which is called the "Asian Fish Brisket". But since the introduction of a "Dutch naturalized army", their strength has not been the same as in the past, the whole team's total value of up to 24.53 million euros.
Looking back, the national soccer team has an absolute advantage in the confrontation with Indonesia. In the previous five encounters, the national soccer team won four and drew one to remain undefeated. The last meeting was on November 15, 2013 in the Asian Cup qualification group stage, with Wu Lei's goal, the national football team on November 15 goals: 0 score victory over Indonesia.
In the first two rounds of the 18 strong match, Indonesia's opponents are not easy to deal with, away from home and Saudi Arabia 1:1 draw, the home is 0:0 draw Australia, so the strength of Indonesia, the national football team wants to win, whether it is really as easy as a slap in the face?
