Meeting Oman team: Great opportunity for Vietnam team

The match between the two teams will take place at 7pm tomorrow, March 24, at My Dinh Stadium.

With a 3-1 victory over the Chinese national team in the 8th match of Group B, the teamCoach Park Hang-seohas got the first points in the final qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup in Asia. And more importantly, the Vietnam National Team has become the only representative of Southeast Asian football to have won in the final qualifying round of a World Cup, up to this point.

However, with 3 points in hand, the Vietnamese team is still inferior to the achievement that the Thai team achieved in the past. As known, in the final qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup in Asia, the team nicknamed "War Elephants" won a total of 4 points after 4 draws. Therefore, if they only win 2 points in the remaining 2 matches against the Oman team and the Japanese team, Coach Park Hang-seo and his team will set a new record.

In terms of the opportunity toVietnam National TeamIt is quite obvious that they can do that right in the match against Oman. In addition to the advantage of playing at My Dinh Stadium, Coach Park Hang-seo and his team also have to welcome a not-so-strong opponent and have run out of motivation to compete. Remember, before entering the 9th round of matches in Group B, Oman had no hope of winning 3rd place, the position to participate in the play-off (7 points behind Australia).

It can be said that Coach Park Hang-seo and his team possess almost all three extremely important factors: favorable time, favorable location and favorable people, even without the services of many key players, typically Bui Tien Dung, Do Duy Manh, Tran Dinh Trong or Phan Van Duc. If they successfully take advantage of the above advantages, the Vietnamese team will have a victory over the Oman team and officially surpass the achievements of the Thai team.

Certainly, with the "support" of My Dinh Stadium and the desire to conquer the record, Que Ngoc Hai and his teammates will enter the match with an excited spirit in welcoming the Oman team. Do not forget, the Vietnam team often has a "lucky relationship" with representatives of West Asian football, typically the victories against the UAE team in the first leg of the second qualifying round (1-0) and the Jordan team in the round of 16 of the 2019 Asian Cup (penalty shootout).

Hopefully, Coach Park Hang-seo and his team will continue to bring joy to domestic football fans with a resounding victory over Oman, just like what they did against China on the first day of the Lunar New Year./.
