Laos

Team introduction: The Laos Football Association was founded in 1951, joined FIFA in 1952, and joined the Asian Football Confederation in 1980. The Laotian domestic league began in 1990. Laotian football players are all amateurs, although the candidates for the top teams are from government agencies or public institutions. The Laos national men's football team has participated in international and continental football competitions since 1961, but it participated in the World Cup qualifiers for the first time in 2001. Participated in the Asian Cup qualifiers for the first time in 2000, including: 1:0, 3:0 victory over the Philippines and Brunei teams at the Southeast Asian Games in 1995; 1:0 victory over the Cambodian team at the Southeast Asian Tiger Cup in 1996; 4:1 victory over the Philippines team at the 1997 Southeast Asian Games; In 1997, they defeated Malaysia 1:0 at the Southeast Asian Games; in 1999, they defeated the Philippines 3:2; in 2000, they defeated Mongolia 2:1 in the Asian Cup qualifiers; in 2001, they defeated the Philippines 2:0 in the Asian regional competition of the World Cup qualifiers. On June 29, 2011, they lost to Cambodia 2-4 in the Asian qualifying match of the World Cup. On July 3, they defeated Cambodia 4-2 in 90 minutes and 2-0 in overtime. They finally defeated Cambodia 6-2 and entered the next round with a total score of 8-6. In the first game of the second round, Laos adopted fierce physical confrontation and iron-barrel defensive tactics. Through a series of small moves, it forced the Chinese team to be unable to launch a ground attack. It was unable to send the ball comfortably into the penalty area and was forced to take long shots. As a result, the siege lasted for half an hour. How? They couldn't score a goal, either playing high or being blocked. On the other hand, their movements were very simple and concise. Once they found China's loopholes, they took advantage of their short stature and gave full play to the short people's advantages of speed and flexibility. They quickly scored twice with just a few kicks. It forced China to adopt high-altitude bombing tactics and side attacks, fighting tactics, replacing three people in a row, and achieving immediate results. In addition, due to their lack of amateur physical strength, they fell thousands of miles in a short period of time, and their door was quickly penetrated repeatedly. It seems that there is a certain reason why psychology affects physical health. Just watching a 2:0 lead, and suddenly being scored three goals in a row, for any team, it can be a huge blow to say the least psychologically. In addition, physical strength itself is not enough. Once the psychological effect is exerted, it can be said in two words: collapse! Suddenly, like North Korea in the World Cup, they quickly collapsed and conceded four goals in a row, thereby creating a "feat" of conceding two goals and scoring seven that made the Chinese dumbfounded.
