In this year's Dragon Cup, the Dragon team drew 1:1 with the Welsh team in 90 minutes of regular play time, and won 5:4 in the penalty shootout.

The Dragon Country team not only gained a game with high exercise value, but also practiced new tactics and tested new lineups in preparation for the World Cup in Russia three months later, and also reached the final of the Dragon Country Cup for the first time in history!

In the first Dragon Cup last year, due to the timing of the game, the Dragon Country team, which played in the second lineup, lost to the Iceland team in the first round and failed to advance to the final, and could only play the third or fourth place final with the Croatian team, the loser of the other semi-final.

In that game, the Dragon Country team also drew 1:1 with the Croatian team in the 90-minute regular game time, and finally defeated the opponent 4:3 in the penalty shootout and won the third place in the first Dragon Country Cup.

After that competition, the Dragon Country football community actually had a question about the Dragon Country Cup initiated by Wanda Group, that is, when will the Dragon Country Team, as the host, win the only Dragon Country Cup named after "Dragon Country"?

Although the nature of the Dragon Country Cup initiated by Wanda Group is a commercial competition, the purpose of holding it is to let the Dragon Country team have more exchanges with strong teams, so the teams invited to participate in the competition are all above the Dragon Country team!

In this year's Dragon Cup, the three teams invited are not only the Welsh team ranked 21st in the latest FIFA rankings, but also the Uruguayan team that ranks higher, although the latest FIFA ranking of the Czech team is not too high, only a few places higher than the Dragon team, but the overall strength of the team is also obviously above the Dragon team.

In the first Dragon Cup last year, Wanda Group invited three teams, not only Iceland, which emerged in the last European Championship and played a dark horse role, but also the Chilean team, the champion of the new South American Cup.

In the first Dragon Cup, the Dragon Team, which played with a second-tier lineup, defeated the Croatian team on penalties in the third and fourth place finals, won the first victory of the Dragon Cup, and won the third place, but the quality of that game is clear to insiders and fans.

The final result of this match against Wales was the same as that game, but the process of the game and the gains of the Dragons were very different!

At the post-match press conference, Lippi, who has never been easy to praise, also praised the performance of the players of the Dragon Country team in this game, saying that the players "implemented the tactical intentions of the coaching staff very well, played what the coaching staff wanted, and showed satisfactory execution." ”

The head coach of the Welsh team, standing in the position of the opponent, also affirmed the performance of the Dragon Country team in this game, believing that "the Dragon Country team played more resolutely in the game and created difficulties for us beyond our expectations!" ”

After the game, Bale took the initiative to exchange jerseys with Shen Feng, and in front of the broadcast camera, he had a few warm conversations with Shen Feng, smiling, and his mood was not affected by the loss of the game.

In the post-match interview, Bale also took the initiative to mention Shen Feng, "Shen's goal, another impressive, his speed is very fast, the ball is handled very reasonably, he has done his best in that attack, in other words, I am facing the same situation, I can't do better than him!" ”

In the face of the reporter's question, with Shen Feng's current level, whether he can gain a foothold in the European arena, Bell gave a satisfactory answer to Longguo fans, "He definitely has the capital to gain a foothold in the top five European leagues, I personally hope that he can come to Europe as soon as possible, and even look forward to one day being able to fight side by side with him!" ”

Real Madrid, where Bale now plays, is the most successful football club in Europe and the entire world!

And, in the entire history of football, the success of the Real Madrid team is not one of them, but the only one!

Bale said that "I look forward to having someone who can fight side by side with Shen Feng", that is, at least in Bale's opinion, Shen Feng is likely to join the Real Madrid team!

This is a great compliment for Shen Feng's fans!

Subsequently, the reporter threw the same question to Shen Feng, and Shen Feng replied, "If there is a suitable opportunity, of course I hope to play in Europe with a higher level of football development, but at present, my main energy is focused on the preparation of the Dragon Country team, and I am now having a good time in the Jianye team, and I have no plans to stay abroad in a short time!" ”

This is not the first time that Shen Feng has given a similar answer to this question, his attitude towards Liuyang is very clear, the first thing he asks for is not the club's reputation and his transfer value, but whether he can have the opportunity to play after the transfer!

For the current Shen Feng, although he can continue to improve the level of various skills by training alone, but with the daily training tasks of the "Shenfeng" system, even if Shen Feng stays in China and continues to play in the Dragon Super League, the training effect can also be guaranteed, and it makes no difference to him whether he goes to Europe or not.

In this way, whether he can play in the game is particularly important to Shen Feng!

In Shen Feng's personal opinion, instead of staying in the United States for the sake of staying in the United States, and there is no game to play in Europe, it is better to continue to stay in the Dragon Super League.

The level of the Dragon Super League is still a certain gap from the top five European leagues, but it is also constantly improving, and the gap with the international top leagues is gradually narrowing, and there is still a certain training value for the current Shen Feng.

Therefore, on the issue of staying abroad, Shen Feng was not in a hurry, his attitude was very calm, he did not force it, and let it be.

The Dragons will have three days to adjust after the match against Wales, with the final scheduled for March 26 against Uruguay, who beat the Czech Republic 2-0 in the other semi-final the following day.

This result is very much in line with the expectations of the Dragons team, who will be opponents in the group stage of the World Cup in Russia, and now they can play in advance, which is very beneficial to the preparation of the Dragons.

The Uruguayan team, to be able to test the quality of the dragon team in advance, also expressed expectations, although their overall strength is far above the dragon team, but football is round, anything can happen on the field, on the stage of the World Cup, the strong team in the weak team to miss the foot, not uncommon, the Uruguay team is not like repeating the mistakes of those predecessors.

Being able to test the true level of their opponents through head-to-head duels is also a good thing for the Uruguayan team.
