Shen Feng has always been very sure that his foundation will always be on the court!

Therefore, although now, the commercial endorsement part of his annual income has accounted for the absolute majority, but this part will only be an embellishment in his next career and will never become the main body.

Maybe after he retires, he will shift his focus to business, but at this stage, his energy should still be as much as possible on the field.

On January 29, 2019, at 6 p.m. local time in the United Arab Emirates and 10 p.m. Beijing time in the Dragon Kingdom, the second group stage of this Asian Cup started on time between the Dragon Country team and the host United Arab Emirates team.

The Dragons, who played with a new young lineup, showed a strong desire to attack as soon as they started this game, and the whole army attacked and went straight to the defensive hinterland of the UAE team.

Lippi will line up such a lineup in this game, which even many players of the Dragon Country team did not expect, which greatly exceeded the expectations of fans, not to mention the UAE team as an opponent.

Therefore, the tactics laid out by the UAE team against the previous lineup of the Dragon Nation team have fallen into a state of duckweed without evidence from the beginning, and it is already considered bankrupt.

Lippi once again used bold personnel to defeat his opponent in terms of tactical arrangement.

The starting lineup of the Dragon Country team, whose average age is three or four years lower, is not much worse than the previous lineup in terms of comprehensive strength, and it can be regarded as having its own advantages and disadvantages.

The previous lineup had many veterans in charge, and it has been the main lineup of the Dragon Country team in recent years, and the cooperation between the players has formed enough tacit understanding, on the whole, it is relatively calm and spicy.

However, due to the average age, fitness is a serious problem, and in the last quarter-final against South Korea, a number of players from the Dragon Country team fell into a fitness crisis in the final stage of the game and suffered from cramps.

The goal conceded in the final stage is directly related to the physical problems of the Dragon Country team, although the lost goal did not have much impact on the final result of the game, but the physical fitness problem of the Dragon Country team's lineup cannot be ignored!

As the Asian Cup enters its final stage, the schedule is becoming more and more intense, with only three days of rest between the quarter-finals and semi-finals, and the same is true between the semi-finals and the final.

At this stage of the game, not only the Dragon Country, but also the players and physical reserves of other teams have been exhausted, but because there are many old players on the Dragon Country team, this problem is more serious.

Lippi let Zheng Zhi, Feng Xiaoting, Hao Junmin and other old players rest in this game, and did not give them enough time to adjust and recover, so that they can have a better performance in the final final!

Zheng Zhi, Feng Xiaoting and others, as Lippi's disciples for many years, have won Lippi's trust, as long as their bodies are not too problematic and their competitive state can be guaranteed, they will be important and even the main role in the Dragon Country team led by Lippi!

And Fan Xiaodong, Maitijiang and other new players who joined the Dragon Country team are at an absolute disadvantage in the competition for playing opportunities with Zheng Zhi and others.

In the final final, who can be selected for the 18-man squad, who can start, and who can get the opportunity to come off the bench, this semi-final with the UAE team will be an important reference.

Especially for Fan Xiaodong, Mai Tijiang, Liu Yiming and others, who finally got such an opportunity to fully show their abilities, this game will be directly related to whether they rely on their own efforts to win the championship trophy of this Asian Cup, or "lie down to win", they can only rely on their teammates.

These two different results mean different things to the individual players!

If you have indeed contributed to the championship trophy in the process of competing for the championship trophy, then when you are old in the future, when you point to this championship trophy to your grandson, you can confidently and proudly say, "What kind of effort did your grandfather put in for this trophy in the first place!" ”

If it's just "lying down to win", in the future, even bragging will be empty-hearted, for fear of being punctured by the ignorant grandson, "Grandpa, weren't you in this final at the time, and you didn't have a minute of playing time!" ”

This gives Fan Xiaodong and others more motivation to perform better in this match with the UAE team!

They even wanted to "grab power" in this game and compete with Shen Feng for the opportunity to shoot.

Shen Feng can also understand their eagerness to show their feelings, and is willing to help them to show their abilities more fully.

Therefore, in the opening stage of this game, Shen Feng did not rush to charge like in previous games, but deliberately retreated a little back, so as to attract the UAE team's defensive formation to press forward, so as to expose more gaps in their defensive line and create more breakthrough opportunities for their teammates.

Shen Feng has already established his prestige by virtue of his perfect performance in the previous five games, and no opponent dares to take him lightly, no matter where he is, there must be at least one opponent's defender by his side to keep a close eye on him.

The UAE team did the same.

However, the results of the previous games proved that such an arrangement hardly played a big role in restricting Shen Feng!

This game is even more so.

Shen Feng deliberately retreated in this game, switching from an offensive finisher to an offensive playmaker, and his threat did not diminish in the slightest!

For a team, the midfield dispatcher and organizational core are actually a more important position than the striker who attacks the city and scores goals.

Any team that does great things will have at least one of these players in their squad!

It's just that ordinary fans' focus on a game often only stays on the goal, so the striker who makes the final decision can attract the most attention and get the most support and praise.

In fact, for those fans who really know the ball, the most enjoyable aspect of a game is not the goal, but the combing and scheduling of the midfield commander when switching between attack and defense and initiating the attack.

The role of the midfield commander of the Dragon Country team is currently mainly played by Zhang Xizhe, and Hao Junmin can also help him share some of it when he is on the field.

After half a season of training in Europe, Zhang Xizhe's style of play is more stable, the overall situation is broader, and in terms of personal ability, he is already a first-class midfield organizer in Asia, and he has been able to use it at the level of the Asian Cup.

However, all over the world, on the stage of the World Cup, his ability is still not enough.
