In this match with the Brazilian team, Lippi pressed the two sharp knives on the front line - Shen Feng and Wu Lei on the bench at the same time, of course, he had his considerations.

In his opinion, with the current situation of the Dragon Country team, there is no great need to send Shen Feng and Wu Lei to play in this game, face the Brazilian team, and strive to score points.

The Dragons are now in Group A, three points ahead of Venezuela, and have five more goal difference than Venezuela, giving them a clear advantage in qualifying.

As long as the Dragons do not lose more than two goals in this match against Brazil, and in the next match, Venezuela does not beat Bolivia by more than three goals, and the Dragons can advance to the quarterfinals as the second in the group.

The result of that match between Venezuela and Bolivia was beyond the control of the Dragons.

However, the Dragons can defend hard in this game against Brazil and not let Brazil score too many goals.

Lippi is still very confident in the defensive intensity of the current Dragon Nation team.

The final result of the game also confirmed Lippi's idea, although the Dragon Country team was suppressed by the Brazilian team in this game, and the scene was absolutely passive, but the Dragon Country team held on until the 68th minute of the game, and was only scored by the Brazilian team.

Moreover, the score of 0:1 was maintained until the end of the game.

In the face of the strong offensive of the Brazilian team, the Dragon Country team only lost by one goal, such a result is absolutely acceptable!

The tenacious fighting spirit of the players of the Dragon Country team in this game also won a lot of praise after the game, and the media and fans of the Dragon Country gave one-sided praise for this loss!

Not only is the record of the Dragon Country team in the past two years, but it has won the respect of the Dragon Country team now; It is even more because of the performance of the Dragon Country team in this game that it deserves this praise!

After this small loss, the record of the Dragon Country team in the group stage of this Copa America is fixed as one win, one draw and one loss, accumulating 4 points, scoring 4 goals and conceding 2 goals, and winning 2 goals.

Such a result is quite ideal for the Dragon Country team!

In the other game of the same group that followed, although the Venezuelan team defeated the Bolivian team as expected, it only narrowly won with a score of 3:2, although the points caught up, and the Dragon team accumulated 4 points, but the Venezuelan team only scored 5 goals in the three group games, conceded as many as 6 goals, and the goal difference was -1.

As a result, the Dragons finished second in Group A and qualified with Brazil, while Venezuela's ability to advance to the quarterfinals depends on the results of the other two groups.

In the third round of the group stage of Group B and Group C in the next two days, the Argentine team in Group B bloodied the Qatar team 6:1, winning all three games in the group stage, but the Qatar team lost all three games, scoring only 2 goals, conceding as many as 15 goals, and losing face to grandma's house.

Especially in comparison with the Dragon Nation team that advanced to the quarterfinals.

Qatar, a team that has been cultivating for the World Cup to be held on home soil in three years, is still a huge gap with the world's top teams in terms of its performance in this Copa America!

In the other match of Group B, Chile, the defending champion of the Copa America, defeated Paraguay 3-2 to finish second in the group with a record of two wins and one loss, and advanced to the quarterfinals with Argentina.

The Uruguay team in Group C completed a counterattack in the last round of the group stage, defeating the Ecuador team 4:1, with a record of one win and two draws, and Colombia and Peru who drew in the last round of the group stage, with 5 points, but won the first place in Group C with a goal difference.

Colombia won the second place in Group C by the advantage of total goals, beating Peru.

Although Peru only finished third in Group C, they won one and drew two in the group stage, the best of the three groups, so they also qualified for the quarterfinals.

The last place in the quarterfinals fell to the Venezuelan team.

Venezuela have four points from one win, one draw and one loss in three group games, while Paraguay, the third team in Group B, has only one win and two losses in three group games, with three points.

At this point, the group stage of this Copa America has ended, the list of quarterfinals has been decided, and the situation map of the quarterfinals has also been produced.

According to the principles announced before the South American Football League, the group winners in Group A will face the group runners-up in Group B in the quarter-finals; Group C tops the group, while the quarter-finals will be the third-place opponent in a different group.

Moreover, these four teams will be divided into the top half of the knockout round.

As a result, the first two games of the quarterfinals of this Copa America are Brazil against Chile; Uruguay against Venezuela.

In the lower half of the knockout round, the second group in Group B will face the third in the group that is not in the same group, that is, the quarter-final opponent of the Dragon Country team is Peru, the third team in Group C.

Group B is the top team and Group C is the second place, and the two sides are Argentina and Colombia.

Such a confrontation situation is quite beneficial to the Dragon Country team!

Although the opponent of the quarterfinals, the Peruvian team, the strength is also good, the latest FIFA rankings, ranked 13th, ranking quite high, in the previous Copa America, the record is good, has won the third place in the Copa America three times!

However, compared with the Argentine team, Uruguay team, and Chilean team, the strength of the Peruvian team is, of course, slightly inferior.

In the quarterfinals of this Copa America, the strength of the Peruvian team may only be above the Dragon Team and the Venezuelan team, and compared with the other five teams, the strength of the Dragon Team is the closest.

Although Peru is quite ahead of the Dragons in the FIFA rankings, it doesn't mean anything.

Brazil's latest FIFA rankings are third, and in the final round of the group stage, they can only beat the Dragon Country by one goal - or when the Dragon Country team hides Shen Feng and Wu Lei.

Therefore, after the results of the quarter-final matchup, the Dragons saw the hope of continuing to move forward in this Copa America.

The quarter-finals between the Dragons and Peru were scheduled to be played on the second matchday of the knockout round, and before the match, the Dragons were given as many as six days to prepare, two more than Peruvian, which is one of the Dragons' strengths.

In the other two quarter-finals held earlier, the host Brazil defeated the defending champion Chile 2-1; Uruguay eliminated Venezuela 3:2 and took the lead in the semifinals.

In the two quarter-finals in the second half of the knockout round, Argentina and Colombia took the lead, and after 90 minutes of fierce battle, it was the Argentine team that was superior in the end, defeating Colombia 3:1 and getting the ticket to the semifinals.

In this way, even if the Dragons can survive the quarter-finals, they will also face Argentina in the semi-finals!
