Chapter 412: Showing Weakness to the Enemy
He Wei and Xu Yang, before the start of the Copa America final between the Dragon Team and the Brazilian team, praised Shen Feng because they had nothing to say about the upcoming game.
Say something frustrating, the fans don't want to hear it; Cheer for the Dragons, they themselves feel that the Dragons have no chance of winning.
Commenting on such a game that is bound to lose is also a kind of ordeal for the commentator.
However, the work that needs to be done is still to be done, and to do it as well as possible!
What to do?
You can only pick what fans are interested in and like to hear.
For fans of the Dragon Kingdom, there is absolutely nothing wrong with praising Shen Feng!
Moreover, Shen Feng is indeed worthy of praise!
After Xu Yang took the initiative to join the "National Youth Football Training Camp" initiated by Shen Feng, he had more contact with Jia Xiuquan's guidance and Shen Feng's teammates when he was in the echelon of Jianye Club, and learned a lot about Shen Feng before he became famous.
In the commentary of this game, I picked and chose to say something, so as not to worry about the Dragon Country team all the time.
After the official start of this Copa America final, the Dragon Country team was at an absolute disadvantage in front of the powerful Brazilian team, and there was almost no power to fight back.
In the semi-final with the Argentine team, because Shen Feng helped the Dragon Country team score early, which boosted the morale of his teammates, although the Dragon Country team was at a disadvantage in the game, but the score was ahead, and the players defended and had confidence.
Now facing the Brazilian team, although the Dragon team has been trying its best to support, did not let the Brazilian team attack successfully, and tried not to lose the goal, but the mentality of the players is completely different from the last game.
The perception given to the fans is also very different.
In the game with the Argentine team, the Dragon Country team was in the lead of the score throughout the game, although the scene was extremely passive, but the defense of the Dragon Country team stood tall under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Argentine team, and from time to time it could launch a very threatening counterattack, which made the fans enthusiastic and boiling.
In this game with the Brazilian team, the Dragon Country team was suppressed by the Brazilian team in the second half, and even Shen Feng had to retreat to his own half and directly participate in the defense.
In the forty-five minutes of the first half, the ratio of shots on goal between Brazil and Dragons was 15:0!
Dragon country fans seem to have returned to a few years ago, when Dragon country football was at a low point.
However, even the Dragon Country team at that time had never played such a game, and throughout the entire first half, the Dragon Country team could only be described with the word "aggrieved"!
The scene is aggrieved, the players are playing aggrieved, and the fans are even more aggrieved!
Although the score was still 0:0, the Brazilian team, which completed 15 shots on goal in the first half, hit within the frame of the goal seven times, but failed to score a single goal in front of the united Dragon team.
However, such a score makes Dragon Country fans feel more uncomfortable than being two goals behind!
However, from this half of the game, Dragon Country fans really feel that the current Dragon Country team is indeed different from the Dragon Country team two or three years ago!
This difference is not only reflected in the record, but also in the mentality, psychology, action, and will!
Now there are not many old players in this Dragon Country team, and now only Feng Xiaoting, Fan Xiaodong, and Zhang Linpeng are over 30 years old, and the other players are under 30 years old.
Among them, the number of players in the 91-year-old group is the largest, with Wu Lei, Zhang Xizhe, Mai Tijiang, and Yan Junling.
Feng Xiaoting, who was born in 85, and Fan Xiaodong, who was born in 87, can hold on to the 2022 World Cup, it's not easy to say now, but Zhang Linpeng, who was born in 89, has no problem playing for another three years in his current state.
Wu Lei and others, who were born in 91, are now at the peak of their careers, and after the tempering of the European arena, although their comprehensive ability has not been significantly improved, their psychological quality, technical and tactical level have undergone qualitative changes.
If Wu Lei can transfer to a stronger team next season and continue last season's form, he may even have the possibility of becoming a world-class striker.
Although the ranking will be relatively low, crossing that threshold means a new world!
The remaining four players, needless to say, Shen Feng will definitely be the absolute core of the Dragon Country team for the next ten years.
Deng Hanwen and Shi Ke, who are also successful in Europe, and have a firm foothold in their respective teams, as defenders, do not have many opportunities to shine on the field, so their fame is not as big as Shen Feng, Wu Lei, and Zhang Xizhe, but in the current Dragon Country team, they are already very important players in the backline.
Once the older Feng Xiaoting and Fan Xiaodong's competitive state declines, they can take advantage of the situation and become the main defenders of the Dragon Country team.
In fact, Deng Hanwen, who was born in 95, has secured the position of the main defender of the Dragon Country team, and is one of the only three players in the Dragon Team who started every game in this America's Cup.
The other two players, one is goalkeeper Yan Junling, and the other is Zhang Linpeng.
The last starter of the Dragon Country team in this game was He Chao, who was born in 95.
The average age of the starting lineup of the Dragon Country team is 27.6 years old, which is the most reasonable category for a team!
There are veterans, rookies, and Mesozoic, and the combination of old, middle and young is reasonable.
This lineup, compared with two years ago, of course, has a lot of changes, many newcomers have emerged, and the post-90s generation has taken over in an all-round way, and the trend of younger is obvious.
With the change of the lineup, what has changed even more is the spirit of the players!
Most of the people in this team have experienced last year's World Cup and the Asian Cup at the beginning of the year, although a few players were not the main team at that time, but they also felt the atmosphere of the competition with the team.
The mood of this Dragon Country team is completely different from that of two years ago.
If it were the Dragon Team two years ago, in the face of the extreme pressure of the powerful Brazilian team, it would not be possible to maintain a positive attitude and tenacious fighting spirit in such a passive situation.
Especially the Dragons before Lippi took over, but the existence of the home team that can lose to the Syrian team.
How can it be like now, even the Argentine team can beat!
After defeating Argentina and advancing to the final of this Copa America, the Dragons can clearly feel that they have undergone another metamorphosis and become more fearless on the pitch!
This is also one of the reasons why the Dragons were able to resist stubbornly and never give up in the face of Brazil's fierce offensive in this final.
Therefore, despite the passivity of the scene, the Dragon Country team is not said to be a mourning soldier in this game, even if it is, it can only be said to be sad but not sad!
The Dragons are not Don Quixote either, vainly rushing towards the windmills that are impossible to knock down.
The persistence of the Dragon Country team actually has its own strategy.
It can't be said that the enemy is weaker - because the Dragons are the weak side in front of the Brazilian team - but it is by no means self-sufficient.
