The replacement of the old and the new is the natural law on the football field!

Even if they are as strong as Ronaldo and Messi, there will always be a day when they will finally say goodbye to the stadium as they get older!

Although Shen Feng is still young now, he can still fight for the Dragon Country Team for more than ten years, but after more than ten years, he will also follow in the footsteps of Zheng Zhi, Feng Xiaoting and others, and quit the Dragon Country Team until he bids farewell to the field.

Of course, just like Su Maozhen and others, who have now entered the Dragon Country Football Association and held leadership positions, Shen Feng can also transform into another identity and continue to serve the rise of Dragon Country Football.

Although Lippi's contract renewal negotiations with the Dragon Football Association are still ongoing, they are very close to being finalized.

As long as Lippi can lead the Dragon Team to the final of this Asian Cup, he does not have to win the championship, and Lippi can rely on this record to serve as the head coach of the Dragon Team for another three years until the end of the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

Therefore, for Lippi, the next focus has become how to help the Dragon Team complete the replacement of the old and new as soon as possible and steadily.

Fortunately, although the 95-year-old group of players, judging from their performance in the Asian Games, is a bit unbearable, the 91-year-old group of players represented by Wu Lei and Zhang Xizhe has gradually grown up after so many years of tempering, which is enough to support the framework of the next World Cup cycle of the Dragon Country team.

In addition, the 97-year-old new players, represented by Shen Feng, are also growing rapidly, showing a trend of catching up with the 95-year-old group of players, and will take on more important responsibilities in the future Dragon Country team.

In this game against Saudi Arabia, the starting lineup of the Dragon Country team is based on players aged 91, plus Shen Feng, Xiao Zhi, Zhang Linpeng and others.

This starting lineup, compared with the previous two games, is indeed slightly lacking in terms of experience in the competition, because this group of players in the 91-year-old group, except for Wu Lei, Zhang Xizhe and others, the others were not regulars of the Dragon Country team before.

However, these players also cherish the current opportunities more and perform harder on the field, which makes up for their lack of experience in the tournament to a certain extent.

In the first half of the game, this fresh starting lineup brought a lot of surprises to the fans of the Dragon Country, facing the opponents at the level of the Saudi Arabian team, the young men of the Dragon Country team, behaved calmly and calmly, firmly controlling the game situation,

Although there are not as many goals as in the previous two games, the Dragon Country team can still maintain such a state after such a big adjustment to the starting lineup, which is enough to make fans have more expectations for the future of the Dragon Country team.

After a short halftime break, the Dragons and Saudi Arabia changed sides to fight again.

This time, the Dragon Country team is no longer like the previous two games, and the personnel adjustment was made at the beginning of the second half, and the lineup of the first half was still continued, giving Shen Feng more time to perform.

In the first two games of the group stage of this Asian Cup, the only thing that Dragon Country fans want to say is that "Shen Feng has too little playing time"!

Especially for those personal fans of Shen Feng, watching the game of the Dragon Country team is to watch Shen Feng, but the result can only watch him play half the game, which is not enjoyable at all!

Shen Feng's personal fans are really very conflicted at this time, not only wanting to see more of Shen Feng's performance in the game, but also feeling sorry for Shen Feng's hard work throughout the year.

Fortunately, the length of Shen Feng's appearance time is not determined by them, otherwise they would not have to be entangled to death!

Shen Feng played for another 20 minutes in the second half, did not score again, but completed another assist, and when he was substituted, the Dragon Country team had already led the Saudi Arabian team 3:0 and won the game.

In these three group games of the Dragon Country team, Shen Feng has both goals and assists in each game, and the offensive efficiency is terrifying!

After Shen Feng left the game, the attack power of the Dragon Country team did weaken, the defensive pressure of the Saudi Arabian team was reduced, and some energy was able to be deployed to focus on counterattacks.

However, the Dragons soon returned the favor, scoring another goal in the 85th minute of the game to re-extend the lead to three goals and completely kill the noise of the game.

In the end, this game, which was considered to be evenly matched before the start of this Asian Cup, ended with a disparity of 4:1, and the Dragon Country team once again showed its strong offensive firepower.

In the group stage, the Dragon Country team won all three games, scored 17 goals and conceded only 2 goals, and deservedly advanced to the round of 16 of this Asian Cup as the first in Group C.

Saudi Arabia won two wins and one loss in the group stage, finished second in Group C, and advanced together with the Dragons.

Kyrgyzstan and the Philippines, which participated in the Asian Cup finals for the first time, drew 1:1 in the final round of the group stage, and the group stage records were all one draw and two losses, and due to the large score loss to the Dragon team, they are also at an absolute disadvantage in terms of goal difference, although there are still three groups of games that have not yet been played, but these two teams have been basically determined, and bid farewell to this Asian Cup in advance.

In Group A and Group B, which have been divided, the top two teams in Group A are the host United Arab Emirates, and the Thai team, which has improved rapidly in recent years, and the third team in the group stage is Bahrain, whose record is one win, two losses, 3 points, 2 goals scored and 4 goals conceded, and the goal difference is -2.

The top two teams in Group B are Australia and Syria, and the third place in the group is Palestine, with two draws and one loss, 2 points, 2 goals scored and 3 goals conceded, and a goal difference of -1.

After the final round of Group C of the Dragons was held on January 16, the group stage of Group D, Group E and Group F also ended on the 17th and 18th.

The top two teams in Group D are Iran and Vietnam, and the third place in the group is Iraq, with a record of one win, one draw and one loss, 4 points, 1 goal scored and 3 goals conceded, and a goal difference of -2. Iraq's record in the group stage is the same as Vietnam's, but the goal difference is one less than Vietnam's, and they can only finish third in the group.

The top two teams in Group E are South Korea and Qatar, and the third place in the group is North Korea, with a record of one win, two losses and three points, three goals scored and four goals conceded, and a goal difference of -1.

The top two teams in Group F are Japan and Uzbekistan, and the third place in the group is Oman, with two draws and one loss, 2 points, 1 goal scored and 3 goals conceded, and a goal difference of -2.
