Lippi's contract renewal can ensure the smooth completion of the renewal of the current Dragon Country team to the greatest extent.

After the Asian Cup, Zheng Zhi announced his retirement from the national team and directly announced his retirement to end his career.

However, his relationship with the Dragon Country Team did not end there, and he immediately received a letter of appointment from the Dragon Country Football Association and returned to the Dragon Country Team as an assistant coach.

Feng Xiaoting, Xiao Zhi, Gao Lin and other veteran players in the age group of 85 and 86 also planned to follow in the footsteps of Zheng Zhi and voluntarily quit the Dragon Country team to make room for young people.

However, Lippi dismissed their thoughts and asked them to postpone this plan, hold on for another year, stand the last shift in the Dragon Nation team, help the young players on the horse, and give them another ride.

These veteran players happily agreed and decided to play a good role for the Dragon Country team.

After the start of the new season of the Dragon Super League, these old players who have entered the end of their careers, the old husband chatted about the boyishness, and their performance in the league was eye-catching, and they still occupied an important position in the new training list of the Dragon Country team.

Shen Feng, but unexpectedly, was not selected for this issue of the Dragon Country team training list.

However, Shen Feng did not have to be idle, and his name appeared in the training list of the Dragon U22 National Youth Team, which is commonly known as the "National Olympic Team".

The central task of Dragon Country Football in the next two years is the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.

Since playing in the 2008 home Olympics, the Dragon National Olympic team has never appeared on the Olympic stage.

Although the Olympic Games are far less important than the World Cup and Asian Cup in football, they are also one of the more important events in the entire football circle.

Especially under a sports system like Dragon Country, the importance of the Olympic Games is even slightly better than the Asian Cup, and only slightly lower than the World Cup.

It just so happens that Shen Feng, the current representative of Dragon Country Football, is the age player of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which greatly increases the probability of the Dragon Country Olympic Team advancing to the Olympic finals, and the Dragon Country Football Association attaches more importance to this.

After discussion, Shen Feng's focus on the next national team competition should be temporarily shifted from the Dragon Country Team to the Dragon Country Olympic Team.

According to the AFC's arrangement, the Asian preliminaries of the Olympic football trials, also known as the U23 Asian Cup qualifiers, will be held from March 22 to March 26, and the final stage of the competition will be scheduled from January 8 to 26, 2020, in Thailand.

In the previous draw ceremony, the opponents of the Dragon Olympic team in the group stage of this U23 Asian Cup qualifiers were Malaysia, the Philippines and Laos.

The qualification rules for the U23 Asian Cup qualifiers are the group winners of the eleven groups and the top four group runners-up, plus the host Thailand, a total of 16 teams to reach the final stage.

The top three finishers will qualify for next year's Tokyo Olympics in the final stage. Because Japan is the host of next year's Tokyo Olympics, if Japan finishes in the top three in the final stage of the U23 Asian Cup, then the fourth place will be replaced and qualify for next year's Tokyo Olympics.

The Longguo Olympic team is the defending champion of the U23 Asian Cup, but because the lineup when it won the championship last year is very different from now, in the main lineup of Changzhou to win the championship, only Shen Feng is left.

Although the rules of the Olympic football competition allow no more than three overage players to participate, the Longguo Olympic team will definitely select the strongest overage players, and the 95-year-old group of players is not eligible as overage players at present.

Therefore, now the Dragon National Olympic team is a new army in the U23 Asian Cup.

However, the strength of this new army is really good!

Needless to say, Shen Feng, Hu Jingheng, Du Changjie, and Zhang Ziru, who had been teammates with Shen Feng in the Jianye team for two years, have now also become the main players of the Longguo National Olympic team.

Several of them already have good talents, and under the drive of Shen Feng, they have been training very hard in the past few years, and they have also gained a lot of playing time in the Jianye team, which focuses on cultivating newcomers, and they have grown up very quickly.

In the new season of the Dragon Super League, which has just begun, the Jianye team, which is dominated by these young players, has not been as speculated by the outside world, after Shen Feng left the team, the performance has dropped sharply, although it is indeed not as strong as the previous two seasons, but it can still rank in the middle and upper reaches of the standings.

If this state can be maintained, the Jianye team will be truly reborn.

Under the leadership of Shen Feng, the Dragon National Olympic Team won the three games on March 22, March 24, and March 26 respectively, and the Malaysian team, the Philippine team and the Lao team.

6:0 bloodbath Malaysia; 5:0 bloodbath for the Philippine team; 7:1 bloodbath Laos team!

Scored 18 goals in three games, won by 17 goals, and conceded 1 goal, such a record is second to none in the qualifying stage!

In these three games, Shen Feng only played half of the game, and he did not play at the front of the field, but sat in the midfield, did not rush to the front line of the attack, but also scored 4 goals and 5 assists, and directly participated in half of the goals of the Dragon National Olympic team.

There is no doubt that the Dragon National Olympic Team won the ticket to the final stage of the U23 Asian Cup with the first record of the group and even the first place in all the qualifiers.

At the same time, the Dragon Country team, which lacked Shen Feng, first lost to the Colombian team 2:3 in the Dragon Cup, and then defeated the Iranian team 2:1 and won the third place.

Although the defense of the Dragon Cup was not achieved, such a record is more valuable to the current Dragon Country team, and fans can accept such results.

scored 4 goals in two games, and in the absence of Shen Feng, it shows that the stubborn disease of the Dragon Country team's current "weak front" has indeed been cured.

At the end of the international break, Shen Feng returned to Italy, and on March 31, in the battle for the third or fourth place in the league standings between the Meaza Stadium and the Lazio team, the state continued to be hot, with one pass and one shot, helping the Inter Milan team win 2:0!

Inter Milan took advantage of this victory to overtake Lazio in the standings and move up to third place in the standings.

Juventus and Napoli, who are in the top two spots, did not perform well in this round of fixtures, with Juventus being held to a draw at home by Empoli and Napoli losing away to Roma, which allowed Inter Milan to close the gap on their points even further.

At the end of the 29th round of Serie A, Inter Milan has 55 points, ranking third in the standings, only 1 point behind the second-place Napoli team, and only 8 points away from the top Juventus team.

With 9 rounds left in the league, Inter Milan has seen the hope of winning the championship again!
