Both the Dragons and Egypt rely more on the individual abilities of the core players in the team.

Defensively, both teams rely more on the whole!

The defensive combination of the Dragon Country team, as mentioned earlier, will not be repeated here, the defensive combination of the Egyptian team has a great similarity with the Dragon Country team.

Two of Egypt's four defenders are West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League, although West Bromwich Albion are only marginal teams in the Premier League, and last season they were last in the Premier League, and have been relegated to the Championship, the second tier of the English league, but Gabriel and Hegazi can prove their strength in such a team.

Just like Sun Jihai, the leader of the golden generation when the Dragons first advanced to the World Cup finals in 2002, he also started from the Championship team Crystal Palace, and then transferred to Manchester City in the Premier League at that time after the 2002 World Cup.

At that time, the Manchester City team was not like now, with the help of the oil dollars of the Middle East oil tycoons, and now the Manchester City team has become a prestigious giant team, and the Manchester City team at that time was only a marginal team in the Premier League.

Sun Jihai was inducted into England's Football Hall of Fame for his outstanding performances in six seasons with Manchester City, and is by far one of the most successful Dragon players in the United States.

Gabriel and Hegazi, because they don't know whether to say lucky or unfortunate to be in the same era as Salah, are destined to become the most successful players in the Egyptian team in this era, but their current achievements are enough to be proud of.

At least, it's much better than this group of Dragon Country players who can only be mixed up in the Dragon Super League!

The other two players in Egypt's back line are the 34-year-old No. 7 Fati and the 33-year-old No. 13 Adbur Shafi.

Although these two players currently play in the domestic league in Egypt and the Saudi Arabian league in the Middle East, they are experienced and have good ability, and can form an effective complement to the young Gabul and Hegazi.

In addition, the midfielder of the Egyptian team also has No. 17 Elneny, who is currently playing for the Premier League giants Arsenal, who is a player who is good in attack and defense, although he is not the absolute main force in the Arsenal team, but he is also an important supplementary player with outstanding ability.

In this game, he played the role of the Egyptian team's midfield, forming an iron gate on the Egyptian team's back line, causing an effective clamp on the counterattack of the Dragon team.

Shen Feng and Wu Lei did not take too much advantage in this game and the head-to-head confrontation with Elneny.

Fortunately, Elneny is just one person, and there is no way to prevent Shen Feng and Wu Lei at the same time, so the Dragon Country team counterattacked, so he was not completely restrained.

Even so, Shen Feng and Wu Lei, in the later games, when they have a choice, will deliberately bypass Elneny's defensive area, avoid the important and the light, and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

In such a situation, the second half of the game between the Dragons and Egypt, although the game was very open and the game looked lively, but neither achieved any effective results.

In the first 20 minutes of the second half, although the Dragons and Egyptians each made several attempts on goal, the effect was not very good, and basically did not hit the goal frame.

As the game time passed minute by minute, the head coaches of the warring sides, seeing that the deadlock on the field could not be broken, began to deploy troops and use the substitutions of the game.

On the side of the Longguo team, after 65 minutes of the game, two substitutions were made in succession, replacing Wang Shenchao and Hao Junmin with Deng Hanwen and He Chao respectively.

These were two pairing substitutions, with Lippi replacing two young players with two young players in the prime of life, with a clear aim of using the momentum of young people to break the deadlock on the pitch.

The Egyptian team then made two substitution adjustments in a row, which was the same as the substitution tactics of the Dragon Team, which also used two young players to replace two older veterans who were already slightly lacking in physical fitness, and even the position of personnel adjustment was the same as the Dragon Country team, one on the back line and one in the midfield.

After this adjustment, the lineups of the Dragons and Egypt have become younger, more energetic and impactful, the game is more passionate, and the viewing has also improved a lot, but the technical content has not increased but decreased.

Although young players are energetic and hardworking, they are relatively lacking in game experience, and their technical and psychological qualities have not developed to maturity.

Moreover, this game, the first official appearance of these young players who have just been substituted in the World Cup, is of extraordinary significance to them, and they are all holding back their energy and wanting to prove themselves in the game.

However, if you want to express yourself too much, sometimes you will inevitably use too much force, which is counterproductive.

The appearance of these young players made the match even more intense for the rest of the game.

Moreover, due to the stalemate of the score, it has not been broken for a long time, which makes the emotions of the players on both sides become more and more impatient, and their self-control has declined.

Even Shen Feng, when he was entangled like kraft candy by the new players of the Egyptian team, and he couldn't shake it off, his emotions were on the verge of getting out of control.

Finally, in the seventy-eighth minute of the game, Shen Feng's forced breakthrough with the ball was destroyed by the Egyptian team's players with the principle of "the ball is not enough", and what is even worse is that after Shen Feng was put down, the Egyptian team's players also attached a hidden small action - stepped on the back of Shen Feng's calf.

Shen Feng immediately became anxious, turned over, and pushed the Egyptian player who was still innocent.

The referee on duty, Colombian Roldán, was not far from the place of the incident, and when he saw this, he hurried over while blowing the whistle to separate the players from both sides of the conflict to avoid further escalation of the conflict.

Shen Feng immediately complained to the referee about the additional foul actions of the Egyptian players, and showed his socks that were cut by the Egyptian players with shoe spikes to the referee.

The foul of the Egyptian player was originally a yellow card, and if there was an additional foul, the referee on duty might even directly take out a red card and expel the fouling player.

Because the additional foul action of the Egyptian team players was relatively hidden, and the referee on duty did not see it, Roldán did not make a penalty for this foul at the first time, but first communicated with the video assistant referee through the headset.

Under the prompting of the video assistant referee, Roldan decided to go to the sidelines to review the whole process of the foul just now, and then make the corresponding decision.
