Early last year, the Chinese team lost 1-3 to the Vietnamese team at My Dinh Stadium in the third round of the 2022 World Cup Asian qualifiers. The Chinese media has not forgotten this defeat.

The Sohu page of the billion-people country said: "In the history of confrontations, the Chinese team won against the Vietnamese team 8 out of 9 matches played, losing only 1 match.

However, the loss to the Vietnamese team last year made many Chinese fans very regretful."

Sohu added: "The loss to the Vietnamese team on February 1, 2022 was a sadness for Chinese football. Currently, the Chinese team has undergone a major restructuring. Many young players have been added to the team.

Coach Jankovic's team is full of motivation to regain strength before the Asian Cup (taking place in early 2024)".

According to Sohu , the current position of the Vietnamese team is very different from the 8 times the Chinese team won against the Vietnamese team in the past. Therefore, now the team of the billion-people country when facing the army of Coach Troussier must look at us with a different attitude.

Sohu analyzed: "Although the Chinese team has a history of superior confrontations compared to the Vietnamese team, the Vietnamese team is no longer a weak team in Southeast Asia. If the Chinese team loses another match, there is really nothing that can explain the defeat."

"In the 63-year history of confrontation between the two teams Vietnam and China, the Chinese team has never lost two consecutive matches. Therefore, fans do not want to witness another historic defeat. The Chinese team should not lose to the Vietnamese team again," are still the lines written on the Sohu page.

In another article also on Sohu , this newspaper revealed: "Coach Jankovic prefers a style of play with attacks from both wings. The Chinese team may apply a defensive counter-attacking style against the Vietnamese team when necessary."

Sohu added: "Mr. Jankovic also revealed that he will create opportunities for young players to show off, creating new motivation and vitality for the team."

According to Sohu , several prominent faces of the Chinese Olympic team that just participated in the 19th ASIAD will be named in the Chinese national team, preparing to host the Vietnamese team in Dalian. Notably, striker Fang Hao (23 years old, currently playing for the Chinese club Beijing Guo'an).
