Chapter 328: Sparks Fly

If the South Korean team really wants to stabilize their position and play their true level, they can still cause some trouble for the Dragon team.

After the start of the second half, the South Korean team took the lead in launching a wave of crazy counterattacks, although the Dragon Country team had been prepared for this, but the defense line was still somewhat loose under the repeated impact of the South Korean team.

Yan Junling, who had been idle for half the game, finally had a place to use.

The current lineup of the Dragon Country team, to find the weak link, the position of the goalkeeper should be regarded as the previous Zeng Cheng or the current Yan Junling, the technical ability is not top-notch, and it can be used in Asia, but on the international stage, it seems that it is a little weak.

However, the goalkeeper position is not easy to shine - if a goalkeeper is really to shine, then what is the situation of the team!

The team's defense can never rely on only one goalkeeper, the goalkeeper is only the last barrier in front of the goal, and the defenders, midfielders, and even teammates in the front line before him should all make contributions in the team's defense.

A successful defensive system must be integral, and it cannot be one-sided and separated by three lines.

Lippi, who was born in Serie A, which is known for his defense, naturally has deep experience in the construction of the defensive system, and the reconstruction of the defensive system of the Dragon Country team is also quite effective - this is the fundamental reason for the outstanding record of the Dragon Country team in the past two years!

Especially Lippi's targeting, in last year's World Cup, the "defensive counterattack" system tailored for the Dragon Country team was the main reason why the Dragon Country team was able to shine on the World Cup stage.

Adapting to local conditions and arranging different tactics according to different opponents is also Lippi's forte, which is also the embodiment of his value as an international coach.

In the first few games of this Asian Cup, the tactics of the Dragon Country team were not exactly the same, because the situation of the opponent was also different.

Now facing the strong South Korean team, the tactical strategy of the Dragon Country team has some new changes.

These changes are often the most effective in restraining opponents!

Therefore, the direct reason for the improvement of the Dragon Country team's performance in the past two years is that Shen Feng was excavated, which fundamentally solved the stubborn problem of "weak front" that has plagued the Dragon Country team for a long time.

The deeper reason is that Lippi is a good coach who has a deep understanding of Dragon Country football, has a high level of ability, and is good at flexibility.

Shen Feng was able to be excavated because of Lippi's discerning eyes and bold use of people!

If you change to a coach with mediocre ability, it is impossible to send the fledgling Shen Feng to play in the key battle of life and death, and naturally there will be no series of amazing performances after Shen Feng.

On the football field, it is also common for Maxima, but not for Bole!

Players like Wu Lei, Zhang Xizhe, Shi Ke and other players, in terms of personal ability, are they really worse than Son Heung-min of the South Korean team, Shinji Kagawa of the Japanese team, Shinji Okazaki and others?

Why have they been slow to hit the price in previous years? Is it really because they are satisfied with the high salary of the Dragon Super League and are unwilling to go to the higher-level European arena to temper and prove themselves?

So why did Zhang Xizhe land in the Bundesliga in the first place?

How did they now land in Europe and establish themselves in their respective teams so quickly?

The performance of the Dragon Country team in previous years has continued to be sluggish, of course, there are such and such reasons, among which "insufficient coaching level" is also one of the reasons!

At least, the ability of the previous head coaches of the Dragon Country team is far inferior to the current Lippi!

It's undeniable! Because Lippi's coaching record is here, it is impeccable and irrefutable!

Although Lippi is old, he still has a lot of adventurous spirit in his bones, otherwise he would not dare to choose to trust a fledgling young man like Shen Feng at such a critical juncture.

In the more than two years since Lippi coached the Dragon Country team, he has given many opportunities to this group of young players in the 95-year-old group of Dragon Football, and even the World Cup has brought many players in the 95-year-old group.

It's just that these young players who have benefited from the "U23 policy" of the Dragon Football Association are still a little unbearable, and Deng Hanwen is currently the only one who is the main position of the Dragon Country team, and the others have even faded out of the national team's vision.

With the rapid growth of players of the same age as Shen Feng, the 97-year-old players, the living space of this group of players at the age of 95 in the Dragon Country team will become smaller and smaller, and what will happen to their future, fundamentally speaking, it still depends on themselves.

Just like the 23-member squad of the Dragon Country Team in this Asian Cup, several players in the 91-year-old who returned after many years, even when they faded out of the national team, did not give up on themselves, were down-to-earth, down-to-earth, and tempered their technical ability little by little, and finally kept the clouds open and saw the moon, and re-got the national team call-up.

It is true that the development situation of Longguo football in the past two years is not much, and all aspects are developing in a good direction and in the right direction, but due to the too many debts owed in previous years, it is unrealistic to completely make up for it in a short period of time.

At least for the next World Cup cycle, the Dragons will still face a talent shortage, and a "celebrity chef" who can cook delicious dishes with existing ingredients will be needed as the coach to maximize the team's record.

If Lippi can succeed him, it is of course the most ideal situation.

However, due to the delay in the contract renewal negotiations between Lippi's team and the Dragon Football Association, the Dragon Football Association has also prepared a backhand and invited Guus Hiddink, a Dutchman who is also a world famous coach, to serve as the head coach of the U21 national youth team, that is, the 2020 Olympic Games, commonly known as the "National Olympic Team".

If Lippi fails to renew his contract with the Dragon Football Association, then Hiddink will most likely take on the dual coach position of the Dragon Team and the National Olympic Team in the future.

However, judging from the current performance of the Dragon Nation team in this Asian Cup, there is a great hope of competing for the ultimate championship, and if they can win the championship, the probability of Lippi staying in office will be greatly improved.

What the future holds, it's hard to say.

Lippi and the Dragons just want to do well in the moment.

First of all, we have to win the quarter-finals against South Korea.

The two-goal lead of the Dragon Country team, the mentality is very positive, the South Korean team's crazy counterattack in the second half, did not receive the effect they expected, as the game time passed by minute by second, the balance of the game, the tendency to tilt to the side of the Dragon Country team became more obvious.

The South Korean team couldn't attack for a long time, and the players' emotions began to become impatient, and the first half of the game habitually played away, and for a while, sparks and hormones were flying on the field!
