Chapter 82: A Difficult Situation

After the match with Qatar, the Dragons did not stop in Doha, returned to the hotel for a short rest, and then rushed to the airport by car and took a chartered flight back to the Dragons overnight.

During this period, the results of the last match of Group B came as scheduled, and Saudi Arabia finally defeated Japan 1-0 to advance hand in hand with Japan.

Although Australia ended up with Saudi Arabia with 19 points, they ranked third in Group B on goal difference and became the opponent of the Dragons in the play-offs.

In this regard, the Dragon Country team accepted it calmly.

Although judging from the recent record of the meeting, the strength of the Australian team is stronger than that of the Saudi Arabian team, but the current Dragon team, self-confidence has been established, although the play-off opponent is a strong Australian team, there is still no fear!

According to the schedule, the two play-off matches between the Dragons and Australia will be held on October 5 and October 10 respectively, and there is still a month of preparation time.

The Dragon Country team first plays home and then away, first playing at home, and then playing away, which is a good thing for the Dragon team, if it can establish a relatively large lead at home, the away team will play a lot better.

Because the Dragon Football Association did not expect that the Dragon Team would be able to enter the play-offs, the home venue for the Dragon Team play-offs has not been arranged for the time being, but now there is still nearly a month before the start of the game, and there is still plenty of time.

Moreover, the football enthusiasm of the people of the Dragon Country has now been thoroughly stimulated by the successive victories of the Dragon Country Team, and at the first time when it was determined that the Dragon Country Team had qualified for the play-offs, a number of cities had already issued applications to the Dragon Country Football Association to host the home games of the Dragon Country Team.

On the Internet, the fans who were still cheering for the miracle created by the Dragon Nation team one moment were divided into areas the next moment and quarreled.

Jiangcheng fans think that they have just hosted the life-and-death battle between the Dragon Team and the Uzbekistan team, and the result of the Dragon Team's four-goal victory seems to prove that Jiangcheng is a blessed land, and it is logical to continue to host the play-offs!

Chang'an fans and Yuelu fans, who once hosted the home event of the Dragon Country team, clamored one after another, thinking that Jiangcheng fans were not popular enough and had to make inches.

If you want to talk about blessed land, Shengjing fans in Liao Province are not convinced, the last time the Dragon Country team advanced to the World Cup, it was in Shengjing, Shengjing Wulihe Stadium is the real blessed land of the Dragon Country Team - now Wulihe Stadium has been demolished, but there are other stadiums in Shengjing!

Even the fans of the business capital also came to join in the fun, they believe that the dragon team can enter the play-offs, Shen Feng is recognized as the first hero, and the home of the dragon country team in the Shangdu Navigation Stadium, which Shen Feng is most familiar with, will definitely be able to make Shen Feng have a better performance in that game and lead the dragon team to go further!

After the charter flight arrived at Yangcheng Baiyun Airport, the Dragon team was disbanded on the spot, the players returned to their respective clubs, and began to prepare for the next stage of the league, the coaching staff of the Dragon Country team ushered in a short vacation, ten days later, they will reassemble in the capital, and then announce the new training list of the Dragon Country team, recruit players, and prepare for the play-offs.

There are still 7 rounds in the Dragon Super League, and the situation in the standings, whether it is the league championship, or the AFC Champions League qualification, or the relegation zone, the competition is very anxious, and the rest of the games are key battles.

This is not good news for the Dragons.

The current main structure of the Dragon Country team is based on the Evergrande team - in the last two games of the Dragon Country Team Top 12 Match, 6 of the 11 starters are from the Evergrande team!

In addition, the Shanghai Port team, the national security team, and the Jianye team are also a strong supplement to the main structure of the Dragon National Team.

And these teams are now at the top of the Dragon Super League standings, Evergrande team is only 1 point ahead of Jianye team, temporarily at the top of the standings, SIPG team is still in hot pursuit, retaining the hope of impacting the league championship.

The current points of the Guoan team are more behind than the first group, but there is still hope of hitting the AFC Champions League qualification.

In addition, the Evergrande team, SIPG team and Jianye team have all reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup, and they all have the task of playing in the FA Cup.

In addition, the Evergrande team and the SIPG team, in the AFC Champions League, also reached the quarterfinals, and now they are fighting against each other.

Therefore, in the next month, the international players of the Dragon Country team will have a lot of competition tasks, and the club's competition tasks will inevitably consume a lot of energy and physical energy of the players.

Moreover, the Dragon Super League, due to the different schedules, has now entered the final stage of the season, and the physical reserves of players have reached a critical point.

The play-off opponent of the Dragon Country team, the Australian team, has just begun the season, and the players are full of energy and vitality.

If the Dragon Football Association can predict the results of the Dragon Country team in advance, then they may make some targeted arrangements when they make the schedule before the season, but now that the season has come to an end, it is too late to make adjustments.

There is no way, the soldiers of the Dragon Country team can only grit their teeth and hold on!

The situation faced by Shen Feng is quite good, although the Jianye team is facing a two-line battle in the league and the FA Cup, but with the current situation of the Jianye team, the FA Cup can be optionally abandoned.

Moreover, Shen Feng is young, in good physical condition, has fast recovery ability, physical reserves, and has the blessing of the "Shenfeng" system, and he has also maintained it quite well, and there is no problem in coping with the three-line battles of the league, FA Cup, and national team.

In addition, while helping the Dragon Country team win two big games, qualify for the play-offs, and retain the hope of advancing to the 2018 World Cup finals, Shen Feng was rewarded handsomely in the "Shenfeng" system.

5 goals in two games, accumulating 1 free attribute value base reward, and for completing the "hat trick" and "brace" in the official match of the national team, you will get an additional reward of 2 free attribute points.

In the match with the Qatar team, at the beginning of the second half, when the Dragon Country team was scored by the Qatar team and equalized, the "Shenfeng" system released a temporary task to "advance to the play-offs"!

Shen Feng was engrossed in the game at the time and didn't notice the system prompt, but his second goal helped him complete the task, and he was rewarded with 1 free attribute value, as well as the "skill: 1/1 in one hit" that he needed most now.

It is conceivable that the two play-offs with the Australian team will inevitably be two tough battles, and the Dragon Country team will need Shen Feng's goal even more if it wants to break through smoothly if the overall strength is not dominant!
