With three goals down, the Philippine team has no hope of turning the tables.

These three goals were still conceded in three different situations, which dealt a heavier blow to the confidence of the Philippine players.

Because this means that their pre-game propaganda that "they have found a way to limit the attack of the Dragon Nation team" is simply nonsense!

In the face of the sharp and diverse offense of the Dragon Nation team, they simply did not have any decent defensive strength.

Although they did not lose as badly as the Kyrgyzstan team, because of their pre-match outrage, they are now slapped in the face by reality and lose face even more!

Shen Feng and Zheng Zhi still only played 45 minutes in this game, and were replaced at the beginning of the second half to rest.

Replacing Shen Feng on the field was to protect him, and not to let him stay on the field when the victory was already in hand, lest the opponent's rabbit bite in a hurry.

Replacing Zheng Zhi on the field is so that he can better conserve his physical strength and play a greater role in the later games.

Zheng Zhi, who has reached the age of 38, is indeed in a much worse physical condition, especially after realizing the biggest dream of "stepping on the World Cup stage" as a football player, there have been some subtle changes in his psychological level.

After returning to the league last season, Zheng Zhi's form in the Evergrande team has been sluggish for a long time, and he has been called up by the Dragon Country team several times, and has not shown a convincing state again.

Football players are not a lifelong career, especially for the top athletes, and the golden age is only a handful of short years.

Zheng Zhi has been able to keep his career until now, which is rare in the Dragon Kingdom, in Asia, and even in the world, which can be called a legend.

He has also publicly said that after this Asian Cup, no matter what the record of the Dragon Country team is, he will withdraw from the Dragon Country team and give up his position to young people.

As for the Evergrande team, if the team needs to, then he will hold on for a while, and if he can, he hopes to retire completely at the end of next season, and end his career before the age of forty!

The reason why he insisted on participating in this Asian Cup is naturally to use a championship trophy of enough weight to draw a successful end to his national team career.

Therefore, although his physical condition is not ideal, and his competitive condition is not particularly good, as long as he is on the field, he is still doing his best and trying to do more for the team.

This kind of spirit is the most valuable for the current Dragon Country football.

After Shen Feng and Zheng Zhi left the game, the Dragon Country team showed a similar situation as the previous game, and their control of the game situation decreased, but the players who stayed on the field were ashamed and brave, showing more determination and willpower than the previous game, and did not leave any opportunity for the Philippine team to take advantage of the counterattack.

In the second half, the Longguo team scored a goal by substitute Xiao Zhi to lock the score of this game at 4:0.

Although the final score is not as disparity as the previous game, the score of 4:0 is still undoubtedly a big victory!

With a big win in the first two rounds of the group stage, the Dragons have been able to ensure that they will qualify for the group and advance to the round of 16.

In these two games, the Dragons scored 12 goals and conceded only one, and the offensive efficiency was terrifying, and the number of goals scored was unique among the 24 teams in this Asian Cup finals, far ahead.

In the final round of the group stage, they faced a stronger Saudi Arabian team, and the Dragons only needed a draw to secure the top spot in the group.

However, with the current morale of the Dragon Nation team, even against the Saudi Arabian team, a draw will never satisfy them.

As mentioned above, due to the expansion policy of this Asian Cup, the strength of the participating teams in this tournament is uneven, and the difference is even greater than that of previous tournaments, even in the knockout stage.

In addition, according to the AFC schedule, the Dragon Country team is the first in Group C, and the opponent in the quarterfinals may be the third place in Group A, Group B, or Group F; Group C is second in the group, and the opponent in the quarterfinals is the first in Group A.

In this way, the Dragon Country team still won the first place in Group C, and the promotion situation in the subsequent quarterfinals will be better.

However, Group A is the weakest team relative to the other five groups due to the presence of the host UAE team, the UAE team is listed as a team in the first pot by virtue of the identity of the host, in order to ensure that they can go further in the Asian Cup held at home, they draw their own group stage opponents, respectively, Bahrain, Thailand, India and other weak teams.

With the current strength of the Dragon Country team, no matter which of the four teams in Group A is encountered, there will be no problem in winning the battle.

However, the ranking of the group stage is not only related to the situation of the knockout round, but also related to the situation of the division, although the dragon team is not afraid of any opponent in Asia now, but if in the division, before the final, avoid the Iranian team, South Korea, Japan and other traditional Asian powerhouses, the dragon team's road to promotion can also be less twists and turns, and go more smoothly.

All in all, in the final round of the group stage against Saudi Arabia, there are many questions about the outcome of the outcome, and what kind of tactical strategy the Dragon team adopts needs to be carefully considered by the coaching staff led by Lippi.

In the first two rounds of the group stage, the Dragons have easily passed the game against the recognized underdogs, although this does not mean that the Dragons will have a smooth sailing schedule, but in the eyes of the Dragons fans, it seems to prove something.

Therefore, in the country of Dragons, fans' attention to the Asian Cup continues to rise, and there is even a momentum to catch up with last year's World Cup.

The people of the Dragon Kingdom have a traditional concept - rather than the head of the chicken rather than the tail of the phoenix!

With the current strength of the Dragon Country team, they can only play a supporting role in the World Cup, but when they are changed to the Asian Cup, they are undoubtedly the main role and a strong contender for the championship!

Although in world football, the influence of the Asian Cup, not to mention the World Cup, the European Cup, and even the Copa America, can only be compared with the African Cup of Nations, the black boss, and the Gold Cup in Central and North America.

In the mainstream perception of international football, the champion of the Asian Cup has no weight at all.

However, for the Dragon Country team, which has never won a major championship, a championship of the Asian Cup is enough to make fans relieved, happy, proud, and proud!

Before the start of the final round of the group stage, not only the coaching staff of the Dragon Country team, according to the current situation of the Asian Cup, analyzed and speculated that the different results of the game between the Dragon Country and the Saudi Arabian team would have a different impact on the Dragon Country team in the later knockout stage, and the majority of Dragon Country fans were not idle, and they have offered suggestions for the Dragon Country team on the Internet.
