Given the strength of the South Korean team, it is not very likely that they will lose all of their next two rounds, or only draw and lose one.

Therefore, for the Dragons, the more realistic goal is to compete for third place in the group and strive to qualify for the play-offs.

In the next match, the Dragons will have a direct conversation with Uzbekistan, the biggest rival in the group for play-off qualification, and if they can win this game, the Dragons will still be able to hold out their hopes of qualifying.

If this game can't be won, then the Dragons can go to sleep.

Group A, where the Dragons are located, is currently in a complicated situation, including Qatar, which is now at the bottom of the group, and all of them are eligible to compete for the play-offs.

If the situation is to be clear, the next game, which is the ninth round, needs to be completed.

On August 25th, all the players of the Dragon Country national team who were called up were assembled, and the national team immediately entered a fully closed training.

The biggest problem facing the Dragons team now is the injury problem, especially in the backline, many main players are absent due to injury, or with injuries, and it is unknown whether the game status can be guaranteed.

However, the matter has come to this point, and the Dragon Country team only has the word "fight" for it!

Before the assembly, the Dragon National Team released a poster announcing the match against the Uzbekistan team, with the key word "Courage and Courage to Do Your All"!

Only by going all out can we hope to seize the only opportunity!

After the team was led, the record of the Dragon National Team has improved significantly, although due to too many debts in front, the hope of promotion is relatively slim, but it still won back the hearts of fans.

Jiangcheng used to be the sad place of the Dragon Country national team, and it was in Jiangcheng that the humiliating 1:5 loss to the Thai second team a few years ago was played.

However, this time, Jiangcheng fans still burst out with great enthusiasm and supported the Dragon Country team.

The Jiangcheng Sports Center Stadium, which hosted the game, can accommodate a total of 60,000 spectators, but for security reasons, only 40,000 tickets were sold for this game, and these 40,000 tickets have long been snapped up by enthusiastic fans.

In order to ensure that the team's training is carried out normally and not disturbed by off-field factors, every time from the hotel to and from the training ground, Jiangcheng City dispatches police cars to open the way for the national team's bus.

On the day of the game, traffic control was carried out around the Jiangcheng Sports Center early, and Jiangcheng invested thousands of police forces to increase the number of subways and buses to extend the operating hours, so that fans could come to watch the game and leave the stadium after the game.

On both sides of the road from the hotel to the stadium, banners were hung to cheer for the Dragons, and shops and merchants on both sides of the road also spontaneously hung the national flag in front of the door to boost the momentum of the national team.

On August 31, at 6 o'clock in the afternoon Beijing time, two hours before the opening of the life-and-death match between the Dragon Country team and the Uzbekistan team in the Asian round of 12 of the World Cup qualifiers, the two sides announced the starting lists for this game.

Prior to this, due to the serious injury plague of the Dragon Country team, the starting list of this game was difficult to give birth, but with the joint efforts of the coaching staff and players, a group of players with the strongest strength and the best competitive state in the Dragon Country were finally assembled.

The starting goalkeeper of the Dragon team in this game is Zeng Cheng from the Evergrande team, Zeng Cheng has been the No. 1 goalkeeper of the Dragon team in recent years since he became famous, only when the Frenchman Alain was coached, he served as a substitute for a period of time, and then most of the games of the Dragon team, he was the goalkeeper of Zhengyin.

Zeng Cheng, who is over 30 years old, is in the golden age of a goalkeeper's career, and his ability and experience are at the peak of his ability.

On the back line, head coach Lippi discharged a combination of Li Xuepeng, Zhang Linpeng, Feng Xiaoting, and Deng Hanwen, of which Zhang Linpeng and Feng Xiaoting partnered as central defenders, and Li Xuepeng and Deng Hanwen served as fullbacks on the left and right.

This line of back, compared to before, has some changes, due to a number of main defenders of the Dragon team, before this game, Lippi had to make the above adjustments due to injury.

The young Deng Hanwen was entrusted with a heavy responsibility in this game, and everyone expected him to withstand the pressure and play at his level.

In the midfield, Lippi discharged a combination of Zheng Zhi, Hao Junmin, and Zhang Xizhe, among which the captain Zheng Zhi was slightly back and played as a back midfielder; Hao Junmin and Zhang Xizhe serve as double front mids, the purpose is naturally to strengthen the attack!

In this game, the Dragon Country team has only one goal, which is to go all out to win!

Only victory can keep the hope of the Dragon Country team to continue to move forward!

On the front, Lippi sent a combination of Wu Lei, Shen Feng and Yu Han Dynasty, of which Shen Feng's position was in the middle, which was the center of Zhengyin, Wu Lei's position was on the left, and Yu Han's position was on the right, which was a bilateral striker.

Although Shen Feng is young, he is not yet twenty years old, but the attacking power he shows in the league is the strongest among the local strikers in the Dragon Country.

Before the game, the call to send him to start was also the highest!

In addition to Shen Feng, Lippi in this training camp, the recruited forward players, only Wu Lei, Gao Lin, Yu Hanchao, Xiao Zhi, Yin Hongbo and a few others, Yu Dabao was absent due to injury, Zhang Yuning was also abandoned because of poor communication, Lippi has not many cards available in his hand.

Gao Lin was originally the main force in the forward line of the Dragon team, but he has not been in good form in the league recently, and in the national team, the goal drought has lasted for a long time, and in such an important game, Lippi cannot pin his hopes on him to defeat him.

Xiao Zhi and Yin Hongbo were originally just role players of the Dragon Country team, not indispensable main players.

Relatively speaking, Wu Lei and Yu Hanchao have shown good form in their respective clubs in recent times, and in this training camp, they also showed a strong desire to fight, and were finally favored by Lippi and served as the starter.

In this game, the Dragon Country team lined up a 4-3-3 offensive formation, and the purpose was obvious, that is, to fight an offensive battle!

The Uzbekistan team, not to be outdone, also lined up a 4-3-3 formation to play against the Dragon Country team away from home!

The Uzbekistan team now effectively have the initiative to qualify for the play-offs, and if they can win all the last two rounds, they can even qualify directly for the 2018 World Cup finals in Russia.
