"China has excellent organizational skills. I'm sure it's not going to be an easy game."
China will play the eighth Group C match against Australia in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup at Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center in Hangzhou, China on the 25th (Korea Standard Time).
China, which lost 0-1 in the last away match in Saudi Arabia, failed to earn a single point and maintained its last place in Group C. For China, it can pave the way for the North-China World Cup only by winning the match against Australia, which has the home advantage.
China lost 1-3 in an away match in Australia. It has never won a showdown since it won the East Asian Cup 4-3 12 years ago in 2013.
However, China can achieve its big dream of going straight to the finals only when it catches the match against Australia. However, it is very difficult considering that Australia recently beat Indonesia 5-1.
However, Australian coach Tony Popovich was wary of China. Perhaps it is just lip service. That's how much he gave a good impression on China.
According to the Chinese media "Zupai News," Popovich said in an official press conference, "We faced China for the first time in October. Months have passed, but it doesn't seem that long. We need a lot of preparation and the game schedule is tight. New players have joined and the overall skills of the team are improving. We had difficulties at first, but we are trying to improve."
"China is an opponent that should be respected. We need to be more confident and courageous as we will attack fast from the beginning. We will do our best. China will do its best. We will also do our best. We are looking forward to a great game," he said.
On China's recent performance, he said, "We have secured several victories since our showdown. China is aiming to advance to the finals. Of course, all the teams want to see the finals." "I watched China's matches and confirmed its performance against Saudi Arabia in particular. It was unfortunate that China faced a difficult situation while receiving a red card. Nevertheless, China is a highly organized team and has shown strong performance against Saudi Arabia. I'm sure it will not be easy to play." 온라인바카라
Miloš Degenek had an interesting answer. When asked if he felt pressured about the match in front of many Chinese fans, he replied, "The real burden comes from supporting the family. Soccer is love and something to enjoy."
