Chapter 35: Last Chance

Before the start of the game, Shen Feng's name was not included in the starting list of this game announced by the Dragon Country team.

The starting forward combination of the Dragon Country team is a trident composed of Wu Lei, Gao Lin and Yu Han Dynasty, and Shen Feng, Xiao Zhi and Zhang Yuning are also in the eighteen-man squad, but they are temporarily sitting on the bench.

It can be seen that the head coach of the Dragon team Lippi has a cautious attitude towards this game, Shen Feng and Xiao Zhi performed well in the previous warm-up match with the Philippine team, but after all, they are pure newcomers to the national team, and they are inexperienced in the competition.

Relatively speaking, Wu Lei and Gao Lin, although they have not scored for the Dragon Country team for a long time, but they have always been the first choice of the Dragon Country team's striker, with rich game experience, and their own strength is enough, and they are just a little bit of luck away from scoring.

Lippi finally chose to start the game, and it didn't exceed everyone's predictions.

In the midfield, due to Yin Hongbo's suspension, Cai Huikang, Zheng Zhi's injury, Wang Yongpo also had some injuries in the pre-game training, so Lippi arranged for Wu Xi and Huang Bowen to partner as a double back, Zhang Xizhe stood in front of them, responsible for organizing the attack.

On the back line, due to the suspension of Mei Fang, the main central defender of the previous Dragon Country team, Lippi arranged Zhang Linpeng, who returned from injury, to partner with Feng Xiaoting as a central defender, and the two fullbacks arranged Wang Shenchao and Deng Hanwen, who performed well in the warm-up game.

In this game, the one who guarded the gate for the Dragon Country team was Zeng Cheng, the No. 1 goalkeeper.

Once the match began, the warring sides began to attack each other after a brief trial.

This game is not only a must be won by the Dragons, but also a game that cannot be lost if the Syrian team wants to fight for a ticket to the finals of the World Cup in Russia.

In the ninth minute of the game, the dragon team took the lead in scoring a good opportunity, the Syrian team's players made a mistake in passing, and directly handed the ball to the feet of Gao Lin, Gao Lin adjusted a little, raised his foot in front of the Syrian team's penalty area line and shot long, but the goalkeeper of the Syrian team was fully prepared, flew sideways, and stopped the shot.

The Dragon team, which had just found a little offensive feeling, was hit hard two minutes later - the Syrian team's attack hit the Dragon team's penalty area, and Zeng Cheng, who attacked, accidentally knocked down the Syrian team's leading teammate, not only received a yellow card, but also gave the Syrian team a penalty.

In the process of penalty kicks later, Zeng Cheng judged the wrong direction twice in a row, the first time because a player from the Syrian team entered the penalty area in advance, and was blown invalid by the referee on the field, and escaped a catastrophe, and the second time he ...... Unable to return to the sky.

After the score fell behind, the players on the field of the Dragon Country team were not discouraged, and still followed Lippi's pre-game arrangement and worked hard to attack.

In the later games, the Dragon Nation team created several more shots, but unfortunately missed them one by one.

In the first half, the best chance of the Dragon team to break the goal, happened in the last minute, in a free kick tactic, Zhang Linpeng's header, hit the Syrian team's goal crossbar, Wu Lei through his own active running, grabbed the ball to the ground, he did not shoot the angle, he ferried the ball to the Syrian team's goal, but was the Syrian team's captain, Yu Province Jianye team's foreign aid Saleh, took the first step and cleared the bottom line.

At the end of the first half, the Dragon Country team, which had a certain advantage in the game, was one point behind the score.

The old problems of the Dragon Country team seem to be staged again in this game, and they are scoreless.

However, the Dragon Country fans, football analysts, as well as the coaching staff and players of the Dragon Country team, have not completely given up hope, and there are still 45 minutes left in the game!

As soon as the second half began, Lippi made personnel adjustments, and the teenager Shen Feng came on the field to replace Zhang Xizhe.

After Shen Feng came out, the position on the field was an offensive forward midfielder, which was the same as his position in the club.

In the Jianye team formation, Shen Feng played the role of the "1" in 4-3-1-2, and at the forefront were Basogo and Hu Jingheng.

In the last warm-up game, Shen Feng, who started the game, partnered with Xiao Zhi as a double striker, and Yu Hanchao's position was slightly delayed, however, in the process of the game, Shen Feng often switched positions with Yu Hanchao, crossed and ran to, and his range of activities on the field was very large.

In this game, Lippi arranged for Shen Feng to appear in the position of an attacking striker, mainly considering Shen Feng's all-round offensive ability, which can not only score goals himself, but also create scoring opportunities for his teammates.

After Shen Feng came on the field, the offensive rotation of the Dragon Country team was obviously smoother than in the first half, and Shen Feng, who was slightly behind in the position, had a broader vision, observing the situation on the field, and the choice of the ball was more reasonable and deadly.

Under Shen Feng's threading needle, the Dragon Country team once compressed the Syrian team's defense line to within 30 meters of the backfield, and the players of the Dragon Country team set up batteries one after another and shelled the Syrian team's goal in turn, making the Syrian team's goalkeepers tired of coping.

In the 67th minute of the game, in a corner kick tactic of the Dragon Team, Shen Feng, who took the ball at the back point, was violated by the defenders of the Syrian team as soon as he protected the ball.

After such a long period of training, Shen Feng's application of the rules in the game has become much more mature, and he is no longer as stupid as he was when he first set foot in the Dragon Super League.

Feeling that the jersey was being torn, Shen Feng took advantage of the situation and fell in the penalty area of the Syrian team.

In the opening stage, the referee on the field who gave the Syrian team a penalty, saw this, immediately blew the whistle, pointed to the penalty spot of the Syrian team, and gave the Dragon team a penalty.

When this penalty was made, the fans of the Dragon Kingdom, who were already a little depressed, suddenly broke out.

The media commentators who broadcast the game live also gave a four-word evaluation of the penalty made by Shen Feng - too important!

Of course, it's not enough to just create a penalty, you need to kick it in safely.

On behalf of the Dragon Country team, the penalty was taken by Gao Lin, who had not scored for the Dragon Country team for more than 600 minutes.

Gao Lin, who was born in 86, is now thirty-one years old, and next year's World Cup is what he can strive for, the last World Cup!

Not only him, but also Feng Xiaoting, who was born in 85, Zeng Cheng, who was born in 87, Yu Hanchao, Huang Bowen, and the old captain who was unable to travel with the team due to injury, Zheng Zhi, who was born in 80, next year's World Cup is their last chance to step onto the highest stage of international football!
