Chapter 479: Above board

On June 16, 2021, in the final round of the top 12 of the Asian zone of the World Cup qualifiers, the three matches of Group A started at the same time.

In this round of the game, the Dragon Country team returned to their home stadium against the weakest Oman team in the same group.

In the first nine rounds of the Oman team, only two draws and seven defeats were achieved, and in this group, they were abused to death by several other teams, and almost lost the confidence of the game.

The Dragons' record is the opposite of that of Oman, with seven wins and two draws in the first nine rounds, ensuring the status of the group leader early, two rounds ahead of schedule, and advancing to the World Cup finals.

Therefore, in this game, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose.

However, because this game is the last home game of the Dragon Country Team in this event, it has some different meanings, so the Dragon Country Team is still fully prepared for this game.

When Lippi was arranging the troops, he also took into account the voices of the fans of the Dragon Kingdom, and put him in the starting list in Shen Feng.

As the most famous player in the Dragon Kingdom and the first world-renowned superstar, Shen Feng's influence among the fans of the Dragon Kingdom is unmatched.

Wu Lei, Zhang Xizhe and others, who also performed well in the European arena, are far from being comparable to him in terms of personal influence.

In his home stadium, if Shen Feng can't be seen, fans can't consider the overall arrangement of the team, and they have to scold the street.

Shen Feng, who landed in Europe, did not have many opportunities to appear in China, and in such a rare game, if he is not seen again, the morale of the fans will also be affected.

At this time, almost two weeks have passed since the end of the Champions League final, and Shen Feng has been fully rested to ensure his state after the last game.

In fact, Shen Feng, who has the blessing of the "Shenfeng System", even if he doesn't get such a long rest, his physical fitness and state will not have much impact.

In this game, the Oman team had no intention of fighting at all, and many of the main players did not come to the dragon country at all, and they only played on the bench.

The Oman team, which plays with the main lineup, can't compete with the current Dragon Country team, let alone such a substitute lineup.

It only took half time, the Dragon Country team chopped melons and vegetables, and attacked the goal of the Oman team three times, and Shen Feng scored one goal.

The reason why he didn't score more goals was because Shen Feng did not stand at the front of the front line in this game, but retreated to the midfield, acting as a tandem between the front and back courts, the initiator of the attack, not the finisher.

Shen Feng, who is not yet twenty-four years old, already has enough overall vision and can play different roles according to the situation of the game.

Shen Feng's task in this game is not to lead the Dragon Country team and humiliate the Oman team, which has fallen without a fight, but to help other players and build confidence in the game.

In the first half of the game, Shen Feng made a total of five dangerous passes, which were grasped twice by his teammates and converted into two goals.

In other words, the three goals of the Dragon Country team in the first half, one was scored by Shen Feng himself, and two came from his assists, which shows his role in the team.

Shen Feng only played half of the game in this game, and at the beginning of the second half, he was replaced and sat on the bench.

Fans are already satisfied to see him play half of the game, and during the second half of the game, the on-site director is also intimate, and from time to time he focuses the camera on Shen Feng on the bench, which further satisfies everyone's desire to spy on Shen Feng.

In the end, in this game, the Dragon Country team defeated the opponent 5:0 at home, giving the World Cup qualifiers to the top 12 in Asia!

In this event, the Dragon Country team is unbeaten with eight wins and two draws in ten rounds, accumulating 26 points, and the spirit of "Asian Boss" can be seen at a glance.

In the other two games, the Australian team defeated the North Korean team 2:1 at home, and this event started low and went high, with five wins, four draws and one loss in ten rounds, accumulating 19 points, and advancing with the Dragon Country team as the second in the group.

Although the North Korean team lost in this round of games, it still won 13 points with a record of four wins, one draw and five losses, beating the Japanese team to finish third in the group and win the qualification for the play-offs.

Before this round, the Japanese team was 2 points behind the North Korean team, and it was not without hope of turning the tables in the final round.

However, in the last game against Saudi Arabia, they encountered stubborn sniping from the Saudi Arabian team, and fought hard for 90 minutes before finally drawing 2:2.

As a result, the Japanese team only achieved a poor record of three wins, three draws and four losses in ten rounds, accumulating 12 points, one point behind, behind the North Korean team, and missed the qualification for the play-offs.

This is the first time since the 1998 World Cup that the Japanese team has missed the World Cup finals, which is a heavy blow to the former Asian hegemon!

In Japan, there are extreme remarks circulating that make the players disemboweled to thank the people.

Small countries and widows, I don't know what to say.

The promotion situation in the other group of the top 12 of the Asian zone of the World Cup qualifiers is not as complicated as Group A, and the Iranian team and South Korea, which have obvious advantages, directly qualified for the World Cup finals as the first and second in the group respectively.

Group B is finished third by Uzbekistan, who will play North Korea in two play-offs for a place in the intercontinental play-offs.

The Dragon Country Team went through such a thing four years ago, time flies, and the Dragon Country Team is no longer what it used to be, and in Asia, it can already sit and watch the clouds rise and fall.

After the top 12 matches, Shen Feng entered vacation mode.

After the Dragon Country team was disbanded on the spot, Shen Feng went to the South Pacific alone, stayed in the island hotel, and joined Zhang Zifeng, who arrived a day earlier.

This year's vacation for two is finally no longer disturbed by other factors.

Shen Feng and Zhang Zifeng, a young couple, have always been together less and more away after the relationship was confirmed.

Shen Feng's competition tasks are heavy, the club and the national team rotate continuously, and there are no days off every year; Zhang Zifeng is also filming while taking care of his studies, and his schedule is also very tight.

Last summer, the two of them did not make the trip because of the staggered time and the vacation that had been arranged.

Counting on his fingers, except for after the end of the season, Shen Feng can squeeze out a few days to arrange a vacation, and the time is not long, at most ten days and eight days, and there is no other opportunity to take a vacation.

However, Zhang Zifeng, in spring and autumn every year, can take the opportunity of Milan Fashion Week to have a secret meeting with Shen Feng during the show.

The point is that the relationship between the two people has not yet been exposed, and when dating, they must be cautious and cannot be above board.

It is only in the South Pacific Ocean, where the Emperor of the Sky is far away, that they can hold hands and take a walk together.
