Chapter 340: Before the Finals

Fan Xiaodong, Mai Tijiang, Liu Yiming and other marginal players worked very hard in the semi-finals with the UAE team and showed a good competitive state, but the chances of them being able to represent the Dragon Country team again in the final are not very good.

Lippi is relatively speaking, he still trusts Zheng Zhi, Feng Xiaoting and others more!

Moreover, this final is very likely to become the curtain call performance of Zheng Zhi, Feng Xiaoting and others in the Dragon Country team, and in the case of their physical condition and competitive state are guaranteed, Lippi will definitely give priority to them.

Needless to say, Maitijiang and Liu Yiming, who are born in the 90s, as long as their current state can be maintained, they will definitely become frequent visitors and even the main force of the Dragon Country team in the next stage.

Fan Xiaodong, who was born in 87, if he can maintain his condition well, he should also be able to occupy a position in the Dragon Country team after Zheng Zhi, Feng Xiaoting and others quit the Dragon Country team one after another.

A team cannot be all veterans, nor can they all be young people, there is no need for a reasonable match of old, middle and young, with the experience of veterans, to guide the momentum of young people, and in addition to the calmness of the Mesozoic, in order to build an invincible strong team.

After 12 years, it has reached the final of the Asian Cup again, which is of extraordinary significance to the rising Dragon Country football!

Although the influence and scope of influence of the Asian Cup are far less than those of the World Cup and the European Cup, it is also the highest competition in football in Asia, and it is an honor that all Asian teams want to strive for.

Especially in the case that the development level of Asian football is generally low in the world, and it is impossible to compete for the World Cup championship in a short period of time, the Asian Cup is the highest honor that Asian teams can strive for.

Relatively speaking, the Dragon Country team, which has never won the Asian Cup, is more eager for this honor!

The Japanese team has won the top of Asia four times before, and is the team with the most championships in the history of the Asian Cup, however, no one will be afraid of more championships, and the Japanese team attaches no less importance to this final than the Dragon Nation team.

In the preparation period of the past few days before the finals, the Dragon Country team and the Japanese team showed their own magical powers, using various methods to relieve pressure and cheer up the players.

The Dragon Football Association also humanized it once this time, arranged a charter flight, invited all the family members of the Dragon Team players who are convenient to travel to the United Arab Emirates, and bear the cost of transportation and accommodation throughout the whole process, and in addition to the training in these days, the player base is open to the players' families every day, so that the players can get together with their families, so as to soothe the tense nerves of the players in continuous battles and the approaching finals, and give the players more motivation to fight!

The Dragon Football Association originally invited Shen Feng's parents, but the two who had completely let go of themselves actually went to Australia and New Zealand in the southern hemisphere for a vacation during Shen Feng's Asian Cup, and they were ready to buy real estate in New Zealand and settle there!

As the parents of the most well-known athletes in the Dragon Country, Shen's father and Shen's mother stay in China, and they have almost no personal space, and they will be pestered by reporters and followed by paparazzi every day, which is simply annoying!

Relatively speaking, New Zealand's beautiful natural environment, quiet and comfortable living environment, very happy with the two of them, anyway, the son can make money, no longer need them to support, they next, the only thing to do, is to enjoy life!

The two who couldn't think about it didn't accept the invitation of the Football Association, but only called Shen Feng and asked him to play hard, and it was over.

Therefore, Shen Feng became the only person in the whole team of the Dragon Country Team who did not have a family to visit the class, watching his teammates enjoy themselves with their families one by one and enjoy the joy of family, it is impossible for Shen Feng to say that he has no ideas.

However, he really doesn't want his parents, who have been busy working for him for the past 20 years, are still focusing on him now, Shen Dad and Shen Mom, who are only in their early forties, according to the latest age division standard released by the United Nations, the scope of "youth" has been expanded to 18 to 65 years old, Shen Dad and Shen Mom, like Shen Feng, are still "young people"!

Moreover, what Shen Feng wants to see most now is not Shen's father and Shen's mother, but another person!

The Dragon Football Association invited a wide range of players' families this time, including girlfriends who are not yet married, but have confirmed their relationship, but Shen Feng and Zhang Zifeng, although they have confirmed their eyes and confirmed each other's intentions, but they have not yet disclosed their relationship, so Zhang Zifeng naturally cannot appear in the invitation list of the Dragon Football Association.

Shen Feng tried to give Zhang Zifeng a hint to invite her to the final scene in the United Arab Emirates to watch him play, but I don't know if Zhang Zifeng didn't hear it, or for some other reason, he didn't give Shen Feng a clear answer.

This made Shen Feng's mood not very high during the preparation for the battle in the past few days.

However, this will not affect his competitive state, with the blessing of the "Shenfeng System", Shen Feng's competitive state is no longer affected by emotional fluctuations.

Before the final, the Dragon Country Media and the Japanese Media, the Dragon Country fans and the Japanese fans, also supported their teams in their own ways.

Of course, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, especially infighting is what the people of the Dragon Kingdom are best at, so before the fans of the Dragon Kingdom unify their thoughts, they must first distinguish and suppress the "Jingri elements" who are mixed in the people.

This makes the network of the Dragon Kingdom particularly lively in the past few days, and the scolding war is everywhere!

This also further boosted the popularity of the Asian Cup final in Dragon Country and attracted more people's attention.

On February 1, 2019, when the Asian Cup final was held, it was already the 27th day of the lunar month of the Dragon Kingdom, and in three days it was the traditional Lunar New Year of the Dragon Kingdom.

If the Dragon Team can win in this final and win the Asian Cup championship trophy, it will be the best New Year's gift to all Dragon fans and all Dragon People!

Just to let the fans across the country have a good year, the Dragon Team will also do their best in this final to strive for the most successful result!

In the three or four finals held the day before the final, the Iranian team won the host UAE team 2:0 by virtue of the obvious winning strength, and won the third place in the Asian Cup.

On February 1, 2019, at 6 p.m. local time in the United Arab Emirates, 10 p.m. in the capital city of Longguo, and 11 p.m. in Tokyo, Japan, the final of the 17th Asian Cup kicked off on time at the Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates!

The Zayed Sports City Stadium, which can accommodate nearly 50,000 spectators, was packed to the brim on this night!
