During this training camp, Lippi mainly did not provide tactical guidance to the players, but adjusted their mentality.

After experiencing two consecutive escapes from death (when the World Cup Qualifiers were in the top 40 of the Asian zone, the Dragon Country team was also in the final round and was lucky to qualify), it was both a grind and an incentive for the players of the Dragon Country team.

After a lot of hardships, it is finally one step closer to the World Cup, and in the current public opinion environment, these players of the Dragon Country team have been touted as heroes, and the mentality of the players will naturally undergo some changes.

How to make this change have a beneficial impact on the next play-offs, and not affect the performance of the players in the play-offs, is the first problem that Lippi has to solve.

Fortunately, Lippi has been in charge for more than 30 years, and he has encountered all kinds of situations, not only as a master tactician, but also as a master in regulating the psychology of players.

Under his repeated emphasis, the players of the Dragon Nation team, no longer disturbed by the outside world, are fully focused on the next two play-offs against the Australian team.

The long-awaited moment has finally arrived.

On October 5, 2017, at 8 o'clock in the evening Beijing time, the first leg of the Asian play-offs of the World Cup qualifiers between the Dragon Country team and the Australian team sounded the whistle on time at the Yangcheng Tianhe Stadium.

The stands of Tianhe Stadium, which can accommodate 60,000 spectators, are full at the moment; At the same time, tens of millions of Dragon Country fans watched the live broadcast of this game through mobile phones, computers, and TVs!

Lippi has made new changes to the starting lineup of the Dragons in this game, with the goalkeeper and the back line, continuing the lineup from the last game against Qatar.

The position of Zengcheng No. 1 National Gate is unshakable.

Li Xuepeng, Feng Xiaoting, Ren Hang, and Zhang Linpeng formed this guard line, which played perfectly in the last game and won the trust of Lippi, and the defensive responsibility of the Dragon Country team in this game was still placed on the four of them.

In the midfield, Zheng Zhi's red card suspension has a great impact on the Dragon Country team, although he is now 37 years old, but in the position of the back midfield, he is still the most capable of the Dragon Country players.

Without the trump card of Zheng Zhi, Lippi can only choose to make up for it with the number of people, and arrange Cai Huikang and Huang Bowen to serve as double backs.

With three attacking midfielders, Lippi sent a combination of Zhang Xizhe, Yu Hanchao and Hao Junmin.

Shen Feng was at the forefront alone, serving as a single striker, and shouldering the offensive responsibility of the Dragon Country team alone.

In this game, Lippi was very pragmatic in a 4-5-1 defensive formation, because in terms of overall strength alone, there is indeed some gap between the current Dragon Nation team and the Australian team.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the qualification to participate in the play-offs, the Dragon Country team stumbled and did not fight for this result until the last moment of the qualifiers; However, the Australian team, only because of the disadvantage of goal difference, unfortunately missed the opportunity to advance directly, and had no choice but to play the play-offs.

Although the players of the Dragon Country team now have a strong desire to fight and high morale, the gap in reality will not be smoothed out because of these.

Although the game of the Dragon Country is at home, Lippi's tactical arrangement is first based on defense, first ensuring that he does not lose the goal, and then seeking opportunities to score.

Shen Feng, who served as the offensive arrow of the Dragon Country team in this game, although he is not very old, his ability has been verified by facts in the first three games and has been fully trusted by the head coach and teammates.

If the Australian team really eats this delicious cake with hidden poison, then Shen Feng's scoring ability in the rapid counterattack will bring surprises to the Australian team.

In the two games with the Uzbekistan team and the Qatar team, although Shen Feng scored a total of 5 goals, his real killer weapon was not displayed.

Shen Feng is now 187 cm tall and weighs 79 kg, and from the perspective of physical condition, he is definitely a good material for a standing pile-type big center, but in fact, with the blessing of the "Shenfeng" system, his speed and technical attribute value are now as high as 85 points!

What does the speed of 85 points mean, take a simple example, and everyone will understand - in the test, Shen Feng was in good condition, and the 100-meter sprint could run into 11 seconds!

His instantaneous explosiveness is also not weak, and when combined with speed, his 30-meter sprint performance has no opponent in the Dragon Country team, even if it is placed in the whole of Asia, it is also one of the best, looking at the world, it is also among the best!

This can allow Shen Feng to exert the effect of a fatal blow when he quickly counterattacks!

In the two games with the Uzbekistan team and the Qatar team, the Dragon Country team has always held the initiative in the game, limiting the opponent to the second half, leaving only the opponent with a chance to counterattack quickly.

In this game with the Australian team, due to the strong strength of the opponent, it is difficult for the Dragon Team to gain the upper hand in the head-on confrontation, and can only hope for an effective attack on a quick counterattack after a steal in the backcourt, and Shen Feng's speed has room to play.

Shen Feng's height and weight, in comparison with the tall Australian team players, there is no obvious disadvantage, but in terms of speed, but more than one step ahead of the opponent, if he is allowed to run at full speed, the Australian team players can only eat dust behind his ass.

In this case, even if the defenders of the Australian team want to mark Shen Feng closely, it is difficult to do anything.

After the start of the game, the situation on the field, as Lippi expected before the game, the Australian team, which thinks highly of itself, although it is an away game, but after the opening, without any temptation, directly launched a fierce attack on the goal of the Dragon Country team!

Before the game, some football celebrities and senior bigwigs in the circle made a move to the Dragon Country team, believing that the Dragon Country team should arrange the tactics of grabbing the start in this game, score goals as soon as possible, establish a lead in the score, and rely on home advantage, solid defense, and keep the win.

However, the experienced Lippi had already guessed the thoughts of the Australian team, thinking that they would not leave the Dragon Country team with a chance to start the game at all, but when they were strong, they would go head-to-head with the Dragon Country Team from the first minute of the game.

Therefore, the tactical arrangement of the Dragon Country team is to stabilize the defense from the beginning of the game, withstand the opening attack of the Australian team, and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

After the start of the game, the starting eleven of the Dragon Country team, only Shen Feng was alone, standing across the middle line, and the other ten people all retracted in their own half, two defensive lines, airtight.
