In the two warm-up matches between the Dragons and Algeria, as well as the Paraguayan team, the more important task is to test tactics and examine players.

The reason why the Dragons invited these two teams to the final warm-up match before the World Cup is, of course, to better prepare for the World Cup.

The choice of opponents in the warm-up match of the Dragon Country team is directly aimed at the opponent of the World Cup group stage, the Algerian team corresponds to the Egyptian team, and the Paraguayan team corresponds to the Uruguayan team.

Between these teams, not only are there some similarities in tactical style, but the difference in strength is not very large, which is very targeted for the Dragon Country team.

The Dragon team regarded these two warm-up matches as a preview of the group stage of the World Cup, and carried out the final tempering of the team's defensive counterattack tactics.

Of course, the Dragons team was not without reservations in these two games.

Lippi only arranged for Shen Feng to play 45 minutes in the match against the Algerian team, and in the match against the Paraguayan team, he was a full spectator in the stands.

Not only Shen Feng, the offensive core, was deliberately hidden by Lippi, but the team's defensive core and veteran captain Zheng Zhi did not get the opportunity to play in these two games, and spent the whole time in the stands.

The absence of Shen Feng and Zheng Zhi has weakened the overall strength of the Dragon Country Team by a notch, and in the face of these two opponents who are only a few places higher than themselves in the FIFA rankings, but their overall strength is much stronger than themselves, the Dragon Country Team played very hard.

The attack was ineffective, the midfield was sluggish, that is, in defence, reaching a basic level of intensity, so that it did not lose too ugly in these two games.

In the end, in the last two open warm-up matches before the opening of the World Cup, the Dragon team first lost to Algeria by a small score of 0:1, and then lost to Paraguay by two goals of 0:2, gaining two consecutive defeats!

However, the morale of the Dragon Country team, as well as the atmosphere of preparation, have not changed much because of these two defeats.

Everyone is very clear about the nature and purpose of these two games, that is, to find out the problems in themselves before the start of the World Cup!

Judging from the results of these two games, the Dragon Nation team still has a lot of problems.

This is a good thing for the Dragon Nation team, because now that the problem is found, there is still time to solve it; It wasn't until after the start of the World Cup and the start of the group stage that the problem was discovered, and there was no time to solve it.

Knowledgeable insiders, as well as true fans who know the ball, don't care too much about the results of these two games, although the Algerian team and the Paraguay team have not entered the finals of this World Cup in Russia, but their strength is not weak, obviously above the Dragon Country team, it is very normal to lose to them in the warm-up match.

Moreover, they can all understand the intentions of the coaching staff of the Dragon Country team in these two games, help the Dragon Country team find problems, and affirm the highlights of the Dragon Country team in the game.

However, there are also some pseudo-fans who don't understand the ball, their eyes are only fixed on the result of the game, and when they see that the Dragon Country Team has lost, they jump up indiscriminately and chirp crookedly, criticizing the Dragon Country Team indiscriminately, and nothing is on the point.

There are also some personal fans of Shen Feng, seeing that Shen Feng played so little time in these two games, and he didn't even sit on the bench in the game with Paraguay, and appeared in the stands, they thought that Shen Feng had been treated unfairly and fought for him.

These inconsequential remarks are not seen as jokes by the Dragon Nation team, and they don't care at all.

After the two warm-up matches, the Dragon National Team repaired in Chuncheng City, Kyrgyz Province for two more days, returned to Beijing from Chuncheng on the evening of June 4, and then took a charter flight from Beijing International Airport on the morning of the next day to fly to Moscow, the capital of Russia.

The World Cup in Russia will be held from June 14 to July 15 local time.

The opening match between the Dragon Country and the host Russian team started at 6 o'clock in the afternoon local time in Moscow, and there was a five-hour time difference between Moscow time and the Dragon Kingdom's capital time, so the start time of the opening game was 11 o'clock in the evening of the Dragon Kingdom capital time.

There was a brief opening ceremony before the opening game, but that had little to do with the players who were going to play.

After a seven-hour flight, the charter plane on which the Dragons took landed at the Moscow airport was less than 12 o'clock in the afternoon local time.

After getting off the plane, the Dragon Team successfully passed through the security check, and was welcomed by local expatriates and embassy staff in Moscow, and got on the exclusive bus of the Dragon Team and went to the Dragon Team's training base in Moscow.

In order to prepare for the opening match with the host Russian team, the Dragon Football Association sent a special person to Moscow as early as half a year ago to find a suitable base for the Dragon team, and finally chose a small resort hotel that is only 20 minutes away from the opening game - Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium, the training ground of the Dragon team, borrowed from the sports field of a university next to the hotel.

From the airport to the hotel, it took more than an hour, and in order to ensure the smooth operation of the exclusive bus of the Dragon Team, the Dragon Football Association and the Dragon Embassy in Moscow specially applied to the local government department in Moscow for a police car.

The hotel where the Dragon team stayed is not very big, the team of the Dragon Team for the World Cup has a lot of people, including players, coaching staff, team technicians, logistics personnel and other staff, a total of more than 70 people, although the entire hotel can not be filled, but in order to ensure the safety of the Dragon Team during the stay, the confidentiality during the preparation period, and avoid the interference of other factors, the Dragon Football Association proudly chartered the entire hotel, and no longer received other customers during the stay of the Dragon Team.

After settling in the hotel, the Dragon Nation team did not train immediately, but gave the players a half-day off to relax and relieve the fatigue of the long-distance flight.

Lippi also did not ban the players, and players who want to take this opportunity to go out sightseeing can move freely, but they must be accompanied by the staff of the Football Association to avoid accidents.

However, everyone was very conscious this time, and no one went out, basically staying in their own rooms to rest and adjust to the jet lag.

Shen Feng did not stay in the room, but came to the hotel's gym to carry out daily training that had never been interrupted since the "Shenfeng" system was turned on.

Shen Feng clearly remembers that the time when the "Shenfeng" system was opened was last year, that is, on April 15, 2017, which was his debut and debut in the Dragon Super League, so his memory is very deep.
