Vietnam Tel is facing the opportunity to break Thailand’s record, push China to the bottom of the rankings
After 8 matches played in the third qualifying round of the World Cup 2022, Vietnam Tel is ranked in the last position of Group B with 3 points. After 7 consecutive defeats, coach Park Hang-seo and his team brought joy to the fans with a historic victory over China on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
That victory has given the “Golden Star Warriors” great confidence before entering the final two matches against Oman (March 24) and Japan (March 29), even if their forces We are being hit hard by trauma and Covid-19.
Although knowing that the two upcoming opponents have outstanding strength, Mr. Park and the players still have their own goals. As midfielder Do Hung Dung once said, Vietnam Tel is always determined to win points before every team.
With 3 points available in hand, Vietnam Tel needs at least 2 more points to have a chance to surpass the score record that Thailand holds. In the final qualifying round of the 2002 World Cup, Thailand won 4 points after 4 draws with Iran, Iraq and two matches with Bahrain. So far, this is still the best achievement that a Southeast Asian team can do (in the third qualifying round of the 2018 World Cup, Thailand only got 2 points).
Thus, in the last two matches, if Vietnam won one of the following results: 2 draws, 1 win 1 loss, 1 win 1 draw or 2 wins (very unlikely), the record would have existed for more than two years. Thailand’s decade will be officially over.
Previously, Vietnam Tel also became the first Southeast Asian team to win a victory in the third qualifying round of the World Cup.
Not only that, if there is a favorable result, Vietnam Tel also has the opportunity to take the fifth place of China and push this team to the bottom of the table. Currently, China is still 2 points ahead of Vietnam, their difference is -8, and Vietnam’s is -10. In the last two matches, China’s opponents will be Saudi Arabia and Oman, respectively.
In the situation of personnel being seriously disturbed (Hoang Duc and Duc Huy are the two latest cases to become f0), My Dinh “fire pan” and the enthusiastic cheers of the home audience are the big fulcrums. with Vietnam Tel. Hopefully, after the lessons learned from the defeat in the first leg, the teachers and coaches of Park Hang-seo will find a reasonable match to win the best result against the Oman team.
