Chapter 144: The Storm of Youth

Shen Feng wants to carry the banner of the rise of Dragon Country football, and it is not enough to lead the Dragon Country team to the World Cup finals!

At least we have to wait until we lead the Dragon Country team again, get a performance that can satisfy the Dragon Country fans in the World Cup in Russia seven months later, and then really make a name for ourselves in international football, so that we can really put up this flag.

Shen Feng wants to become the face and spokesperson of Dragon Country Football, what kind of line is he just doing in the nest? Even in Asia, which is known as the "football desert", it is not enough, he needs to make a name for himself and stand up in Europe, which has the highest level of football development.

Just like Yao Ming, the face and spokesperson of Dragon Country Basketball, only in the NBA, which has the highest level of basketball development, can it stand up to this responsibility!

In order to accomplish this goal, Shen Feng has to put in more efforts!

That's why he ended the long season later than his teammates, barely rested, and happily accepted the dual call-up of the Dragons and the national youth team, and after participating in the East Asian Cup, he will also participate in the Under-23 Asian Cup in January 2018 on Dragon soil.

Events such as the East Asian Cup and the U23 Asian Cup, although they still have a certain training value for Shen Feng now, this value is not great!

If Shen Feng can lead the team to win the championship of these two events, he may be rewarded with one or two free attribute values from the "Shenfeng" system - this is the most direct reason for Shen Feng to participate!

If the Dragon Nation team fails to win the championship in these two events, then Shen Feng's participation is really only left with the goal of "increasing a little competition experience".

The three matches of the Dragon Country team in this East Asian Cup, which were held on December 9, December 12 and December 16, the Dragon Country team assembled on December 1, according to the plan, to train in China for 5 days, and departed for Tokyo, Japan on December 6, and then conducted two days of adaptation training after arrival.

The goal of the Dragon Country team to participate in this East Asian Cup is quite clear, that is, to train troops, inspect new players and young players, but the media and fans of the Dragon Country are inexplicably complacent and force the goal of the Dragon Country Team to win the championship!

Since neither the Japanese team nor the South Korean team has called up players to play in Europe in this East Asian Cup, the star of this East Asian Cup as a whole is slightly dim.

The most valuable player in this East Asian Cup is from Japan, and he has played for many teams in the Bundesliga and La Liga, and his current value is 5 million euros!

Due to the absence of Son Heung-min, the current No. 1 Asian player worth 30 million euros, and Ji Chengyong, who is worth 7 million euros, the most valuable player in this East Asian Cup is the defender Jin Pearl from Jeonbuk Hyundai in the K League, who is currently worth 1.5 million euros.

Due to this training camp, many of the main players of the Dragon Country team have not been called, and the overall value is not too high, the highest value of the whole team is Shen Feng, who has just won the title of "Asian Footballer", Germany's "Transfer Market" website, the value of 1.5 million euros offered to him is only one-twentieth of Son Xingmin.

But even so, Shen Feng is also the most valuable one in Dragon Country football at present.

Wu Lei, who is worth more than Shen Feng, is worth 1.2 million euros on the German "Transfer Market" website.

Although the Dragon Team has entered the finals of next year's World Cup in Russia, the players of the Dragon Country Team are still unknown in international football.

The World Cup in Russia seven months later will be the best opportunity for this group of players represented by Shen Feng and Wu Lei to show their abilities in front of people all over the world!

If the Dragon Country team can have a satisfactory performance in the World Cup, presumably after the World Cup, the value of these players represented by Shen Feng and Wu Lei on the German "Transfer Market" website will soar quite significantly!

Although the Japanese team and the South Korean team participating in this East Asian Cup did not recruit their respective overseas players, their strength should not be underestimated.

South Korea's squad for this East Asian Cup, in the previous warm-up match, had defeated the Colombian team led by J Ronaldo, the Colombian team was the top eight team in the last World Cup, and also won the third place in the last Copa America, FIFA ranking in the top 20 all year round, is a veritable South American powerhouse.

Although the match between South Korea and Colombia was only a friendly match, they were able to beat the strong Colombian team, at least which shows the strength of the current South Korean team.

Although Japan did not recruit overseas players, they did field the J-League Golden Boot winner, the Kawasaki Frontale striker named Yu Kobayashi, who scored 23 goals and had eight assists in the J-League this season, helping the team win the J-League title this season.

Of course, the Dragon Country team must also set the Seagod Needle Shen Feng in the formation!

However, in the appearance list of the first game with the South Korean team, although Shen Feng was selected for the eighteen-man squad, he was not arranged to start.

The first opponent of the Dragon Country team in this East Asian Cup is the South Korean team, and the start time of the game is 3:30 p.m. on December 9, and the national TV sports channel has arranged a live broadcast of this game.

Dragon country fans are now enthusiastic about football, and any news about the Dragon Country team can be pushed onto the real-time hot search list on Weibo by a large number of fans in minutes.

Although the level of the East Asian Cup is not high, due to the consistent feud between the Dragon Country team, the Japanese team and the South Korean team, the Dragon Country fans are particularly concerned about the game between the Dragon Country team and these two teams.

Therefore, the National Television Sports Channel specially dispatched a forward reporting team for this event, and arranged on-site commentary for the three games.

However, there is still a bit of a gap between the importance and the previous two rounds of World Cup play-offs of the Dragon Team, and the commentators sent to the front are the commentators newly trained by the National Television Sports Channel in recent years after Huang Jianxiang, Liu Jianhong, and Duan Xuan, the old commentators have left, and the on-site commentators of the three games are Shen Fangjian, Liu Jiayuan and Li Chenming, and there is only one commentator for each game, and there is no commentator.

After the game began, he first introduced the starting lists of both sides according to the usual practice, and then interpreted the game process step by step according to the game situation.

In this game, Lippi sent six U23 players led by Wei Shihao to start the game, setting off a youth storm of the Dragon Country team on the field!
