Chapter 309: Strength Crushing

Although they are full of confidence in their own strength, the Dragon Country team is still cautious in the face of the Kyrgyzstan team, which is far inferior to their overall strength, and made careful arrangements before the game to ensure that they won all three points.

On the starting list for this game, Lippi sent the strongest lineup of the current Dragon Nation team!

At the forefront, it is still Shen Feng, Wu Lei, who has also shown good competitive form in the European arena in the past few months, partners with him to form the double arrow of the Dragon Country team's attack.

In terms of midfield, Zhang Xizhe has firmly sat in the position of the core of the midfield organization of the Dragon Country team, although his defensive ability is not as strong as Zheng Zhi, nor is he as comprehensive as Zheng Zhi, but at least in the midfield tandem link, he is currently the strongest one in the Dragon Country team.

Zheng Zhi appeared in the midfield position in this game, which is also the position he has usually played in the Evergrande team and the Dragon Country team in recent seasons, and the central defender in the World Cup is just a temporary cameo.

In the group stage of the Asian Cup, the defense line will basically not suffer much test, so there is naturally no need to continue the "three central defenders" tactics in the World Cup, and they can be more proactive and outgoing in the game.

On both sides of the midfield, Hao Junmin and Yang Xu are arranged, and they are arranged in such a position, which is more about their forward offensive ability.

On the back line, the two central defenders are still Feng Xiaoting and Zhang Linpeng, and the two fullbacks are Deng Hanwen and Shi Ke.

Deng Hanwen and Shi Ke are also among the players who have successfully landed in Europe in the current Dragon Country team, and they have successfully found their place in their respective new clubs.

Landing in Europe, for Deng Hanwen, Shi Ke and others, who were already in their respective clubs and sitting in the main position, did not have much growth in terms of personal income, they were originally in the club of the Dragon Super League, and they were already able to get an annual salary of millions of dragon coins, and after joining the European team, the annual salary was converted into dragon national coins, which was only a few million.

Moreover, because the consumption level in Europe is much higher than that of the Dragon Kingdom, their daily expenses are much higher than those in China, and their net income has declined after landing in Europe.

However, for these players who are still pursuing their careers, making money is really not their number one priority at the moment.

To tell the truth, with the current economic situation of the Dragon Kingdom, as long as they can gain a foothold in Europe and make a name for themselves, the income from returning to the Dragon Kingdom every offseason to participate in business activities, receive endorsements, and shoot advertisements will be much higher than their annual salary!

In the international football world, unless it is a top-paid player with an annual salary of up to 20 or 30 million euros like Ronaldo and Messi, it is unrealistic to want to be on the player income list with an annual salary alone.

Even Ronaldo and Messi now do not account for a large proportion of their annual income.

Ronaldo's current annual income is as high as more than 100 million euros, and at an annual salary of 30 million euros, it only accounts for one-third of his total income, and the other two-thirds of his income depends on endorsements, advertising, and business activities to create a personal brand.

Of course, players at the level of Deng Hanwen and Shi Ke cannot be compared with Ronaldo, but Shen Feng is very likely to copy Ronaldo's path.

However, Deng Hanwen and Shi Ke tempered and improved themselves in the European arena, and they will definitely have corresponding returns, and they will definitely not trade at a loss.

In this Asian Cup, the number one goalkeeper guarding the goal of the Dragon Country Team was replaced by Yan Junling, Zeng Cheng, who served as the number one goalkeeper of the Dragon Country Team in the previous World Cup, suffered some injuries in the previous league and his state declined.

Although the Evergrande team only won the third place in the Dragon Super League this season, it was not only suppressed by the Jianye team for two consecutive years, but also successfully overtaken by the Shanghai Port team, but the former dragon super overlord still has a deep heritage, and it is still the team that contributes the most international players to the Dragon team.

With the landing of Wu Lei, Zhang Xizhe, Shi Ke and others in Europe, the number of traditional international players such as the Shanghai Port team, the Guoan team, and the Luneng team has declined, and the number of rising stars such as the Jianye team, the Quan Jian team, and the Yatai team has increased.

All in all, the scope of the Dragon Nation team's selection is now much larger than in the previous two years.

This is a good thing for the Dragon Country team, which shows that the Dragon Country football talent is constantly emerging, and the future is promising.

The starting lineup of the Dragon Country team has not changed much from the World Cup, but the overall situation and strength have been much stronger than a few months ago.

If the lineup of the Dragon Country team faces the world's strongest teams like Uruguay and Portugal again, it should not be as embarrassed as it was a few months ago; Against teams of similar strength like Russia and Egypt, the performance should be better!

Now facing a weak team like the Kyrgyzstan team, it is no longer the same as when facing the Thai team, the Nepal team, and the Longguo Xiangjiang team a few years ago, and they are still trembling and walking on thin ice.

Kyrgyzstan is a weak team that has only entered the Asian Cup finals for the first time thanks to the expansion of this Asian Cup.

However, the Dragon Country team now has a neat lineup, good strength, and self-confidence in their own strength has also been fully established, in the face of such a weak team, although the mentality is deliberately controlled by the experienced Lippi, it is relatively stable, and there is no arrogance that does not put the opponent in the eyes at all, but it also has full confidence in winning this game.

After the official start of the game, the trend is indeed as expected by the Dragon Team, the weak Kyrgyzstan team is simply unable to resist the fierce offensive of the Dragon Team, although they have shrunk the defense line as much as possible, and set up a seemingly tight iron bucket formation in their own defensive three areas, but in front of Shen Feng and Wu Lei, who have super personal ability, the defense line of the Kyrgyzstan team is completely useless!

Only three minutes after the game, the Dragon team completed two shots on goal, although they were both long-range attempts outside the penalty area, and they did not hit the goal frame, but they still surprised the Kyrgyzstan team in a cold sweat, and the defense line was a little chaotic.

Shen Feng immediately seized such an opportunity, made a comeback, dribbled the ball directly into the hinterland of the Kyrgyzstan team's defense, rushed left and right, relied on his personal ability, tore the Kyrgyzstan team's defense into pieces, and then pulled the ball with a dexterous foot and passed the ball to Wu Lei, who ran out of the air.

Wu Lei lived up to Shen Feng's efforts, calmly shot, and sent the ball steadily into the goal of the Kyrgyzstan team.
