In the first meeting between the Dragons and Japan in the Asian round of 12 in this World Cup qualifier, the Dragons won 2:1 away from home, laying the foundation for leading the group.

Now we have our second meeting with Japan at home, and a win will lay the foundation for qualifying for the World Cup finals.

Therefore, the Dragon Country team attaches great importance to this game, and Shen Feng, Wu Lei, Zhang Xizhe and other players who play in Europe are all called back to China.

Against the Japanese team, the Dragon Country team will not have any reservations.

The Japanese team also has a clear understanding of its current situation in the top 12 and is also fully prepared for this game.

Therefore, after the start of the game, the two teams played very anxiously.

The Dragon Country team cannot be said to completely overshadow the Japanese team in terms of overall strength comparison, but it definitely has a certain advantage in the attack power of the front line.

In the first leg of the contest between the two teams, the Dragon Country team also has facts and proves their ability to attack.

Therefore, in this game, the Japanese team's tactical arrangement is quite cautious and conservative, not seeking to win, and trying their best to keep the draw.

However, in their home stadium, the Dragon Nation team didn't even want to leave the Japanese team with a chance to get out.

Shen Feng was very tired during this time, and after the Confederations Cup, he immediately devoted himself to Serie A and the Champions League, and there was no time to rest at all.

The same is true of Wu Lei, Zhang Xizhe and others.

However, the international players who play in the Dragon Super League do not have these problems, and now, the Dragon Super League has just started and the AFC Champions League has just started the group stage.

Now, the Dragons are also like many national teams in the world, with offensive players, mostly playing in high-level leagues in Europe, and defensive players, mostly playing in domestic leagues.

The Dragon Country team is relatively better, Zhang Linpeng and Deng Hanwen on the defensive line are now also playing for European teams, although they are not giants in the five major leagues, but the competitive environment is still much better than the Dragon Super League and the J League.

Coupled with an experienced coach like Lippi, the Dragon Country is an overseas legion, and there is no run-in problem with local forces.

This allows the strength of the Dragon Country team to be brought into full play in the game.

On the Japanese team's side, in recent years, there are really no outstanding players, and most of the core players in the current team are playing in their own J League, and the Dragon Team in previous years has almost dropped.

The lack of experience in high-level European leagues is a difficult problem for the Japanese team to solve.

Just like the Dragon Country team in previous years, it is difficult to play well in the big scene if you haven't seen any big scenes.

In this situation, the Dragon Country team has been using hard power to firmly occupy the initiative in this top 12 match.

Shen Feng's tiredness only exists in the eyes of outsiders, and only he knows the actual situation.

In this game, Shen Feng showed his heyday, scoring one goal in each half to help the Dragon Country team establish a two-goal lead.

Not to be outdone, the Japanese team quickly equalized the score 2:1 with color, but as the game time passed, the balance of the game still fell in favor of the Dragon Country team little by little.

In the eighty-third minute of the game, the Dragon Country team scored another goal and led 3:1, so that the outcome of the game was lost.

Although the Japanese team scored another goal in the final stage of the game and stubbornly pulled the score to 3:2, the game time waited for no one, and they still lost the game in the end.

After winning, the Dragon Country team won six of seven games and drew one in the round of 12, accumulating 19 points and leading the group standings.

In the other two games in the same group, Saudi Arabia beat North Korea 1-0 at home and Australia beat Oman 3-1 at home.

With this victory, the Australian team jumped to second place in the group standings from the previous fourth, with two wins, four draws and one loss in seven games, accumulating 10 points, which is the same as the North Korean team that lost in this round and has a record of three wins, one draw and three losses, however, the Australian team has an advantage in goal difference and total goals, so it is ranked high.

The Saudi Arabian team, which also won in this round, is still in fifth place in the group ranking, but its record and points have caught up with the Japanese team, with two wins, two draws and three losses and 8 points, but in terms of goal difference and total goals, it is slightly inferior to the Japanese team.

With only three rounds left in the round of 12, the Dragon Country team is 9 points ahead of the group third North Korea team in the standings, and the advantage of goal difference and total goals is more obvious, so the Dragon Country team has basically won the ticket to the 2022 Qatar World Cup finals.

Only one point is needed in the remaining three rounds to secure the top spot in the group.

The next three opponents of the Dragon Nation team, namely North Korea, Saudi Arabia and Oman, have two consecutive away games, and the last round of matches against Oman is at home.

However, these three teams, in the group, are relatively weak, especially the Oman team, the Dragon team at home, there is no possibility of losing at all.

However, the Longguo team did not relax its preparations for the next game because the promotion situation was good, and still made full preparations for the away game against the North Korean team on March 24.

Although North Korea is the little brother of the Dragon Country, the Dragon Country team did not let the North Korean team water in this game, and won a complete victory 3:1 away.

The last goal conceded could have been avoided and was taken as a gift to the North Korean team.

This victory made the Dragon Nation the first team to pass the qualifiers and get a ticket to the 2022 Qatar World Cup finals!

The Dragons' third journey to the World Cup finals has come to a successful conclusion.

Although there are already two experiences in the first two, when the news of the Dragon Nation team breaking into the World Cup finals for the third time spread, it still caused the whole country to rejoice.

Dragon Country Football, the treatment in Dragon Country now, compared with five or six years ago, can be said to be a heaven and an underground.

The previous "national black" has now become "national support"!

The booming Dragon Country football industry has been burned even more vigorously with the help of this firewood.

The first place in this group has lost its suspense, and the remaining five teams can now compete for only the direct promotion place for the second place in the group and the play-off qualification for the third place in the group.

In this regard, the Australian team and the Japanese team seized the opportunity, and the Australian team defeated the Saudi Arabian team 3:1 in this round, and the second position in the group was consolidated; Japan defeated Oman 1-0 and overtook North Korea to move up to third in the group.
