The individual ability of the players of the Russian team is slightly better than the current Dragon team, but it is also quite limited.

In terms of tactical execution, the players of the Russian team are slightly inferior to the Dragon Nation team.

This is related to the national characteristics of both sides, and the Russians, known as the "fighting nation", are much more prominent than the dragons in terms of personality.

Moreover, as a host, playing at home is actually a pros and cons, and the advantage is of course that with the support of the home fans, they can often play better; The disadvantage is also the same, playing at your own doorstep, you can't always behave too cowardly, and you have to be worthy of the support of the fans.

This should be one of the reasons why the Russian team attacked the defense of the Dragon Team as soon as the game started!

Their tactics should be to grab the start!

Now facing the dilemma of not being able to attack for a long time, the mood of the players of the Russian team began to be a little impetuous, and the defensive players who were originally dragging behind, guarding against the counterattack of the Dragon Team, also began to frequently insert assists, and continued to put pressure on the Dragon Team by increasing the offensive manpower.

Including in their tactical arrangement, the player who was only responsible for marking Shen Feng, as the game progressed, his attention began to shift from Shen Feng's body to his own attack in the front court, and he was ready to move, and he also wanted to plug in and make a force.

This is also related to Shen Feng's mediocre performance during this period, Shen Feng did not show the lethality of being invincible in this season's Dragon Super League and AFC Champions League in the opening stage, and although he was active, he was basically doing useless work.

This inevitably makes the players who are watching him have some contempt and snubbing thoughts about him, thinking that he is just a package and touted by the Dragon Team, and he actually has no strength.

The Russian team's defense of Shen Feng's players, Shen Feng's defense, due to this contempt and snubbing mentality, is no longer as strict as before, and it is time for Shen Feng to show his true level.

Shen Feng raised his hand first, and made a pre-game gesture to his teammates in the backcourt, and then took his attention to a higher level, paying attention to his teammates' passing lines and landing points, while also observing the loopholes in the Russian team's defensive line.

Another attack by the Russian team was in vain in front of the tight bus formation of the Dragon Nation team, and the ball was transferred to the feet of the Dragon Nation team.

The one who got the ball was Zhang Linpeng, one of the central defenders of the Dragon Country team.

Zhang Linpeng, who is in his playing years, is a defender with a knife in the Evergrande team, and while completing his own defensive work, he can often insert assists and have a very good long shot.

However, in the current tactical system of the Dragon Country team, his counterattack and assist ability are limited, and he relies more on his strong body to resist the opponent's big center, so that the defensive strength of the Dragon Country team is guaranteed.

In the current tactical system of the Dragon Country team, the way to participate in the counterattack is to establish a direct connection with Shen Feng at the front through direct long passes in the backfield.

In fact, this is also the only way for players on the other defensive lines of the Dragon Country team to participate in the counterattack, even the two fullbacks, in the current tactical system of the Dragon Country team, must first do their own work of defense and reduce the number of assists.

Therefore, in the 23-man squad that Lippi chose to bring to Russia this time, the selection criteria for full-backs are not their assist ability, but the discipline and execution of defense.

In the previous game time, after ending the attack of the Russian team, the Dragon Country team often started directly in the backcourt and sent the ball to the frontcourt, without any clear choice of the landing point, and it seemed that it was just for the sake of defence.

The Dragon Country team only has one player in the frontcourt, Shen Feng, and under the strict monitoring of the Russian team, it is almost impossible for Shen Feng to receive the ball when the passing point is not clear.

This made the Russian team have a thinking inertia, when Zhang Linpeng got up to pass the ball, they were too lazy to step forward to press, anyway, in their opinion, this ball is passed to the frontcourt, and it will not pose any threat, or it will fall under their control and become the starting point of the next wave of offensives.

This made Zhang Linpeng appear more calm when passing the ball, and had enough time to look up to observe Shen Feng's position, as well as the vacancy in the Russian team's defensive line, and was more confident about the passing line and the air of the landing point.

Shen Feng also made some changes when he was competing for this pass.

Prior to this, his teammates passed over the top ball from the backfield, Shen Feng did not do his best when he was scrambling, and he was less than 70% sure of the ball, Shen Feng basically gave up first, although he would still run over according to inertia and make a scramble action, but the speed was not raised.

This is also one of the reasons why Shen Feng did not get the long passes over the top in the backcourt several times before the Dragon Country team, but was grabbed by the defenders of the Russian team first.

If Shen Feng fights for it, not to mention being able to grab all the balls, he can at least win half of the ball.

This time, Shen Feng realized that the opportunity was coming, and the initiative and enthusiasm of the competition were mentioned to the highest, and under the condition of ensuring that he was not offside, he took the lead in starting, and with only two steps, he raised the speed of running to the limit.

As soon as he started suddenly, the players of the Russian team who were marking him had already lost their defensive positions, and their reactions were half a beat slower, and when Shen Feng was rushing at full speed, he couldn't catch up with him at all, so he could only eat dust behind his buttocks.

is so calculating and unintentional, so that the Dragon Country team has the only chance to quickly counterattack since the start of the game!

Zhang Linpeng's long pass over the top is looking for a large gap between the Russian team's defense line and the goalkeeper, and the landing point of the pass is also very suitable for Shen Feng's previous position.

Shen Feng used his previous series of deceptive behaviors, coupled with his already superior speed, running without the ball, overall situation, and prediction, to take the lead in getting rid of the defenders of the Russian team, successfully anti-offside, grasped this rare opportunity, and formed a valuable single opportunity to directly face the goalkeeper of the Russian team!

As mentioned earlier, Shen Feng's ability to grasp the single knife ball is second to none in the field of the Dragon Super League, and now it is also sharp and deadly in the World Cup!

Although the Russian team has always produced good goalkeepers, the "Best Goalkeeper Award" of the World Cup, which is now the "Golden Glove Award", was once known as the "Yashin Award", which is to commemorate the late Lev, the famous goalkeeper of the former Soviet Union? Yashin!

Russia's current goalkeeper and captain on the pitch, Akinfeev, is also one of FIFA's best goalkeepers today.
