Zheng Zhi, as the captain of the Dragon Country team, the team's big brother, and the spiritual leader, took the initiative to stand up in the post-game reporter interview and took the responsibility for the passive situation of the Dragon Country team in the opening lead, but in the subsequent game due to tactical choice mistakes, "I didn't play well in this game, and I didn't play the role of a captain and an old player in the game!" ”

"This is my fourth time in the World Cup, and it is also the last time, when I am only one step away from realizing the dream of the World Cup, I really have a problem with my mentality, after going back this time, I will seriously summarize the lessons of this game, and strive not to make the same mistakes in the following games!"

Lippi, the head coach of the Dragons, also criticized the players of the Dragons team mercilessly in his post-match press conference, and his performance in this game, "This group of players has never been so close to the World Cup as today, and I can understand that there is a problem with the mentality when the score is leading and the situation is very good. ”

"But as a professional player, it's unforgivable to make such a mistake on the pitch, it's a very unprofessional act, and I hope my players, in future games, don't make similar mistakes!"

"It's not scary to lose! It's not scary to be eliminated! What is terrible is the fear of fighting! ”

The player of the Dragon Country team who was brought by Lippi to participate in the post-match press conference is the vice captain of the Dragon Country team, and the captain of the field after Zheng Zhi was replaced in this game, Feng Xiaoting, he expressed his attitude on behalf of the other players of the Dragon Country team at the press conference, "The lessons of this game, we will definitely sum up the lessons after the game, keep it in mind, and never do it again in the future!" ”

In fact, the players of the Dragon Country team, although they made the mistake of being afraid of difficulties and being conservative when they were leading the score at the beginning of this game, and almost repeated the mistakes of history because of this, afraid of what would come and lose this crucial game, but everyone's performance on the court was still very hard.

Especially the four starters on the guard line, played the whole game, and their physical fitness was exhausted, the two central defenders Feng Xiaoting and Ren Hang, after the game was not over, there were cramps, Zhang Linpeng and Li Xuepeng insisted until the end of the game, they also fell to the ground and cramped, and were massaged by the team doctor and physical trainer for a long time before limping up.

Feng Xiaoting has risked injury many times in this game, flying to block the gun's hole, if it weren't for their fighting performance, the Dragon Country team might have been equalized or even overtaken by the Australian team in the first half.

Just like Gong Lei said, the players of the Dragon Country Team are now at the first-class level in Asia at the technical level, but due to the poor performance of the Dragon Country Team over the years, the additional pressure exerted by the people and fans on the Dragon Country Team is too great, so that the players of the Dragon Country Team often can't even play half of the level on the field.

What the Dragon Nation team needs to change now is mentality!

The adjustment of mentality is difficult to say, and easy to say.

It is difficult to say because it involves a person's most complex psychology, and there are too many uncontrollable factors; It's easy to say because at some point, it's just a matter of gritting your teeth and stomping your feet!

In the last ten minutes of this game, under the encouragement of Shen Feng's example, the Dragon Country team fought to the death and played at its due level, and it was also on par with the Australian team.

After the game, the Dragon National Team, from the coach to the players, did not talk about the achievements made, only talked about their own problems, and took turns to self-examine, on the one hand, out of sincerity, on the other hand, it is also a strategy to deal with the media.

Especially Zheng Zhi and Feng Xiaoting, a group of veteran players, have personally experienced the ups and downs of the Dragon Country team over the years, and have a deep understanding of the media's faces, knowing that they only look at the results, regardless of the process.

No matter how difficult the game is, as long as the final result is good, it will be a praise.

No matter how hard you try in the game, as long as you end up losing the ball and the result is bad, it is a consistent verbal criticism.

The Dragons drew 3:3 with Australia in this game and advanced to the 2018 World Cup intercontinental play-offs in Russia with an away goal advantage, only one step away from the World Cup finals, and the closest to the World Cup in the past 16 years.

It is conceivable that after this game, the media of the Dragon Kingdom will flatter the Dragon Country team, and tomorrow's headlines will definitely be a one-sided praise for the achievements of the Dragon Country Team, and it must be all kinds of touting and pressing on the head of the Dragon Country team as if they don't want money.

As a result, the people who don't know how to do it have an unrealistic fantasy about the Dragon Country team, thinking that they will definitely be able to reach the World Cup finals this time!

In fact, the opponent of the Dragon Country team in the intercontinental play-offs, the Honduras team, although many Dragon Country people and Dragon Country fans, have never heard of this name, but their strength is not weak, and the historical record of the World Cup is even much better than that of the Dragon Country Team.

The Dragons are not guaranteed to win against them, and the results of the two intercontinental play-offs, so far, are still only five or five.

The expectations of the people are too high, and it will definitely bring more pressure to the Dragon team, because the players of the Dragon Team know that if the final result does not match the expectations of the people, they will definitely be rebounded by the national sentiment, and how high the expectations are now, how strong the rebound will be when the time comes.

In other words, how high this Dragon Nation team is praised by the media now, how much it is likely to be thrown in the future!

The players of the Dragon Country team have put a lot of pressure on themselves, otherwise they would not have become suffering from gains and losses, looking ahead, and being conservative and cowering in this life-and-death battle with the Australian team.

If the outside world imposes more pressure, it is likely that the players of the Dragon Country team will collapse before the game is played!

In order to prevent this from happening, after the end of the game, there was a consensus within the Dragon Country team to relieve pressure on themselves, and the specific way is not to be complacent about the results achieved in this game with the Australian team, and to criticize and self-criticize first.

We first found out our own problems, scolded ourselves first, lowered our position, and made the fans and the people realize that although our recent record is good, the team still has a lot of problems, and it is not strong enough to be invincible against any opponent.

Let the media very likely to be infinitely touted, lose the basis of public opinion, we have so many problems, if you still have one-sided praise, the fans and the people are not stupid, you can be at the mercy of the media.

Moreover, the current Dragon Country team has entered the era of self-media, and the players themselves can speak for themselves through social platforms, which has greatly reduced the influence of traditional media.

Like Shen Feng, because of his outstanding performance in the club and the national team this season, he is deeply loved by fans, and now the number of fans on his personal Weibo has exceeded the million mark, which can be regarded as a big V, and he has a certain influence by speaking out on his own.
