Chapter 114: Initial Analysis

In 2017, at 8 o'clock in the evening of November 10, Honduras time, and at 10 o'clock in the morning of November 11, the first leg of the 2018 Russia World Cup intercontinental play-off between the Dragon team and the Honduran team opened on time in Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras.

Although Honduras, where the game was held, is thousands of miles away from the Dragon Country, the National Television Sports Channel still sent a forward commentary combination for this game, and the first choice of commentators was He Wei, the first brother of the National Television Sports Channel, who is now a football commentator, but He Wei unfortunately had some physical problems recently, and it was inconvenient to fly long distances, so he sent Liu Jiayuan to partner with Xu Yang, who was in the prime of life and a professional player, to serve as the on-site commentator of the game.

In the studio of the Longguo Jingcheng studio of the National Television Sports Channel, the host is still Shao Shengyi, and the invited commentators are still the fans' old friends Zhang Lu and Gong Lei.

Before the official start of the game, Zhang Lu and Gong Lei first analyzed the starting lists of the warring parties in this game.

Zhang Lu focused on the analysis of the Honduran team, "The starting list of the Honduran team is no different from our previous prediction, that is, they will play the main lineup of the World Cup Central American and Caribbean qualifiers!" ”

"Their lineup has been basically stable, the strength should not be underestimated, although in the previous game, there have been 0:6 losses to the United States such a heavy defeat, there are also 0:3 losses to Mexico such a complete defeat, but also in the final round of the World Cup North American and Caribbean qualifiers, 3:2 defeated the Mexican team, it is with the victory of that game, they surpassed the United States team in the standings and qualified for the intercontinental play-offs."

"Moreover, this lineup of the Honduran team has twice forced Costa Rica in the World Cup Central American and Caribbean qualifiers!"

"The Costa Rican team, everyone is quite familiar, because the Dragons played against them in their first World Cup trip, and at that time the Dragons didn't know much about this opponent and thought they could easily beat them, but they lost 0:2."

"In the last World Cup in Brazil, Costa Rica defeated Paraguay and Italy in the group stage, drew with England, advanced to the round of 16 as the group leader, and eliminated Greece on penalties in the quarterfinals to reach the quarterfinals!"

"Costa Rica has already qualified for the 2018 World Cup finals with the second place in the CONCACAF qualifiers in this World Cup qualifier, and their latest FIFA ranking is 26th, which is already a strong team in the absolute sense."

"The fact that the Honduran team was able to draw with Costa Rica twice in the qualifiers shows the tenacity of this Honduran team! Therefore, the Dragon Country team must not be able to despise the opponent in this game! ”

Gong Lei is in charge of analyzing the starting list of the Dragon Nation team, "Let's take a look at the starting list of the Dragon Nation team in this game, this lineup, with our previous prediction, is still a little different. ”

"In the goalkeeper position, it is still Zeng Cheng, and his performance in the previous games of the Dragon Country, as well as his stable form in the club, still has the trust of Lippi."

"On the back line, Lippi is still a four-man combination, two central defenders, Zhang Linpeng and Feng Xiaoting, and two fullbacks, Li Xuepeng and Wang Shenchao."

"Feng Xiaoting and Zhang Linpeng, the combination of central defenders, can be said to be the best, most capable, and most tacit partner among the Dragon Country players, and the Dragon Country team has been able to go so far in the World Cup qualifiers, and the stable performance of the two of them has contributed a lot."

Li Xuepeng, also from the Evergrande team, won the trust of Lippi with his stable performance in the previous games and continued to start in this game; Wang Shenchao's start is a change in Lippi's back line, and how this change will be reflected in the game, let's wait and see. ”

"In the midfield, Lippi sent a four-person combination, namely Zheng Zhi, Zhang Xizhe, Zhao Xuri and Hao Junmin."

"The position of the four of them, I think it should be Zheng Zhi dragging behind and serving as the back waist, Zhang Xizhe breaking forward and serving as the front waist, Zhao Xuri and Hao Junmin separate the left and right sides, forming a diamond shape."

"On the front line, Lippi sent Shen Feng and Wu Lei's partner, the two of them should belong to a high and a fast, in the last game with the Australian team, Wu Lei came on as a substitute in the second half, and Shen Feng formed a tacit understanding on the front line, playing a number of threatening cooperation, this game Lippi arranged the two of them in the starting list at the same time, the purpose is quite clear."

"Lippi played a decent 4-4-2 formation in this game, and his attitude towards this game is still very cautious, and he also shows a lot of importance to the opponent of the Honduran team!"

"Shen Feng's performance in the Dragon Super League this season is perfect, not only helping the Jianye team to beat the Evergrande team and the SIPG team, counterattacking all the way and winning the championship of this season's Dragon Super League, but also won the Golden Boot of this season's Dragon Super League with 29 goals that broke the personal single-season goal record of the Dragon Super League, and in addition, with 16 assists, won the assist king of this season's Dragon Super League!"

"He's also been in very good form lately, scoring five goals in the last two rounds of the Super League, and his feet are hot!"

"Hopefully he can carry over his good form in the league to the next two matches against Honduras for the national team!"

After Gong Lei finished speaking, without waiting for the host Shao Shengyi to speak, Zhang Lu spoke first, "Let me add, Shen Feng's height, although it has now reached 187 centimeters, is still growing upwards, and his weight has been increasing, and the latest data should have reached 80 kilograms, which seems to be developing in the direction of a strong center." ”

"However, we can't ignore his speed, Shen Feng's speed is also one of his killer features, once with his absolute speed, he has staged a good show of riding alone in the league many times, his instant explosiveness and short-distance sprint ability are no worse than Wu Lei, who is good at speed!"

"In addition, Shen Feng's foot skills have also been improving, his performance in the last two rounds of the Dragon Super League has been significantly improved compared to when he first landed in the Dragon Super League at the beginning of the season, if you don't believe it, you can find relevant game information and compare it yourself!"

"Therefore, for Shen Feng, we can't simply define him, this is a very well-rounded player with unlimited potential, and his future is really limitless!"
