With the help of Shen Feng, the Longguo national youth team won two consecutive victories in the group stage of the U23 Asian Cup and basically locked the quarterfinals.

In the other game of Group A that followed, the Qatar national youth team, which defeated the Uzbekistan national youth team by one goal in the first round, once again defeated the Oman national youth team with a score of 1:0.

In this way, after two rounds of the group stage, the Dragon National Youth Team and the Qatar National Youth Team both won both games, with 6 points, but the Dragon National Youth Team scored 6 goals and conceded 1 goal in two games, with a goal difference of up to 5, while the Qatar National Youth Team did not concede goals in the first two games, but the number of goals was only 2, so the Dragon National Youth Team temporarily ranked first in the group with a goal difference, and the Qatar National Youth Team temporarily ranked second in the group.

Uzbekistan's national youth team and Oman's national youth team have lost both games and have no hope of qualifying from the group.

The Dragons and Qatar have joined hands to advance to the quarterfinals of this year's U23 Asian Cup!

However, who is the first in the group and who is the second in the group will have to wait until the final round, after the two teams have a direct dialogue, there will be a final result.

Although the Longguo national youth team encountered some setbacks in the match with the Uzbekistan national youth team, and there were some twists and turns in the process of the game, the final result was still good.

Shen Feng, who has already determined the core position of the attack in the Dragon National Team, came to the national youth team and quickly integrated into the team's tactical system.

In the match with the Uzbekistan national youth team, Shen Feng only played for 20 minutes and completed one pass and two shots, completely on his own, helping the Longguo national youth team reverse the game situation!

Such an outstanding performance naturally made the fans very satisfied!

The only regret of the fans may be that they didn't see more of Shen Feng's goal performances in the game.

On January 15, 2018, the final round of the group stage of Group A of the U23 Asian Cup was played at the Changzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium and the Sports Center Stadium of Jiangyin City, the co-host city of this event.

The game of the Longguo National Youth Team, which has the advantage of being the host, is still played at the Changzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium, which eliminates the fatigue of travel.

The opponent of the Dragon National Youth Team in this game is the last opponent of the group stage, the Qatar National Youth Team, because the two teams have advanced to the quarterfinals together, so the importance of this game has decreased slightly, but the warring sides still attach great importance to it, because the result of this game directly determines the group ranking of the two teams, which is related to the opponents of the two teams in the quarterfinals.

The Longguo National Youth Team sent the same starting lineup as in the previous game, and Shen Feng continued to sit on the bench.

After the start of the game, the two teams with similar strength played relatively openly, and only had a short trial in the opening stage before launching a big offensive battle.

This Qatar national youth team is a young player that Qatar focuses on cultivating in order to prepare for the 2022 World Cup held on its home soil, and in order to cultivate this group of players, they implemented the U23 policy that the Dragon Football Association began to implement last season as early as 2016.

Therefore, the main team of the Qatar national youth team has been in the top league in Qatar, and after two years of experience, its strength has increased greatly; Moreover, their players, mainly from the two teams, have established enough tacit understanding between the players in the club, and now they are integrated, and the tactical execution is slightly better than the temporary Longguo national youth team.

However, after the first two big victories of the Longguo national youth team, the players' self-confidence has been established, and with Shen Feng on the bench to cover for them, the pressure on them has been invisibly reduced a lot.

Moreover, in the starting lineup of the Longguo National Youth Team, although all the players are one or two years older than Shen Feng, they are all young people in their early twenties, full of blood and strong fighting spirit.

In the Dragon Country team, which has not yet gained a firm foothold, they can't compete with Shen Feng, and in the national youth team where they take the lead, if they can't fight anymore, they can't complain about others.

As for how to fight? Of course, like in the first round of the group stage, against the Oman national youth team, with his excellent performance, he pressed Shen Feng to the bench!

Therefore, the players on the field of the Longguo National Youth Team, after the start of the game, behaved very actively, scrambling to be the first when attacking, and did not hesitate to chase back and supplement the defense when switching from offense to defense, everyone did their best and took out 120 efforts!

Their efforts quickly paid off, and just over halfway through the first half, they broke through the goal of the Qatar national youth team and took the lead in the score.

But then, some unexpected factors occurred, making the trend of this game go in a direction that exceeded everyone's expectations.

The referee of this game, Iranian Fagani, became the protagonist of the next field!

In the rest of the first half, he showed four yellow cards to the players of the Longguo National Youth Team in a row, among which He Chao, the captain of the Longguo National Youth Team, received two yellow cards alone, and was sent off with a red card before the end of the first half, which made the Longguo National Youth Team have to face the embarrassing situation of one less person on the field in the next game.

This game is the home of the Longguo Youth Team, Fagani is under the nose of the Longguo fans, blowing penalties are obviously biased towards the opponent of the Longguo Youth Team, the Longguo Youth Team has not reacted, more than 10,000 Longguo fans in the Changzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium quit first, chanting "black whistle" in unison, scolding Fagani "stupid fork"!

The head coach and leader of the Longguo national youth team, during the halftime break, did not even bother to go back to the locker room to appease the players' emotions and arrange the order of the second half, but kept communicating with the referee team of the game and the officials of the AFC.

However, after the start of the second half, Fagani's on-field enforcement was still obviously biased, and less than ten minutes into the second half, he showed two yellow cards to the Longguo national youth team.

With his help, the Qatar national youth team scored a goal in the opening stages of the second half to equalize the score.

In the face of this situation, the Longguo national youth team has no choice but to watch Fagani use his identity to manipulate the results of the game.

Shen Feng, at this time, took the initiative to stand up from the bench, came to the head coach, and asked to be replaced.
