Unlike the rough Gangba player, Lin Feng, who easily passed the opponent, rushed forward decisively. Another midfielder of Gangba Osaka, Xiaoke Xiangping, hurried over to defend, but Lin Feng's ball quotient was very high. He was not obsessed with the previous one, but distributed the ball to Zhou Zhou who was inserted at the right high speed. The latter and Lin Feng had a beautiful second-pass second cooperation, leaving Gangba's midfielder Xiaoke Xiangping and Keisuke the left side guard Iwashita behind.

Osaka Gamba, who was completely empty on the left, could only allow the central defender and another midfielder, Endo, to make up for the place. However, Lin Feng had obviously expected their defensive ideas. He did not continue to hand over the ball to Zhou Zhou who had successfully gotten off the bottom, but instead distributed the ball to Tao Wentao, who came over to pick up the ball.

Tao Wentao's middle lane now looks very loose because the defensive players have gone to the left. The Osaka Gamba players who have made up from the right have just arrived. Tao Wentao did not waste such an opportunity and distributed the ball to Ben Alpha on the left because he was completely empty.

Giving a player like Ben Alfa such a relaxed opportunity means losing the ball. As expected, Ben Alfa easily brought the ball into the penalty area. This time he did not shoot at a small angle, but instead passed the ball in an inverted triangle to the middle. Nie Jiang in the middle easily scored against a completely empty goal, and the score became 0:2.

This time, the Longteng team launched an offense from the midfield and relied on passing to continuously mobilize the opponent's defensive center of gravity. The final goal was very clear, and basically did not give the opponent a chance to adjust his defense. It was a textbook Barcelona-style goal.

Compared to the first goal, Zhang Sheng valued this goal more because this goal better reflects his training content during this winter training period, which is to pull the gap through passing, and the last shot was the kind of empty goal that could be scored if you run in place.

After this goal, Longteng team basically killed the game. Osaka Gamba, which had two substitutions, has not played many cards, while Longteng team has firmly grasped three substitutions, which is more room for adjustment.

The players of Osaka Gamba looked at the Longteng team player running excitedly on the court with a little confused. Usa Mikishi looked at Nie Jiang with envy. This Chinese player has broken his record of the youngest goal in the AFC Champions League. Before the game, the head coach mentioned him specifically. Now he scored another goal. Let's look at the two foreign players who created opportunities for him. This is the gap in strength.

In the next game, Zhang Sheng began to adjust his personnel. He replaced Lu Zhihui with Wei Zhimin, allowing the young player to experience the AFC Champions League game. Then he replaced Lin Feng who had run for the whole game with Yao Tian, ​​moved Tao Wentao backward to the midfielder, and continued to maintain his running ability in the midfield.

In the end, the game ended 0:2, and Longteng completed its debut in the AFC Champions League group stage and won a key victory.

With the joy of victory, Longteng team returned to Jiangcheng and prepared to face the next AFC Champions League match. This time the opponent is Buriram United, a Thai giant similar to Guangzhou Evergrande. It has a short rise and excellent performance. It is also becoming stronger step by step in the AFC Champions League. In history, Guangzhou R&F lost to them 1-2 at home, and was beaten 5-0 away, losing all his face.

Although it is just a Thai team, Buriram United's performance was not bad when facing the Chinese Super League team. They once defeated Guangzhou Evergrande away in the 2012 AFC Champions League, and beat Jiangsu Suning and Sendai Qixi Festival in the 2013 AFC Champions League and qualified as the second place. In the subsequent eighth-finals, Buriram United unexpectedly eliminated Uzbekistan's powerful team Ben Yudeko, but was eliminated independently by Tehran in the quarterfinals and stopped in the quarterfinals, which has created the best result for Thai teams to participate in the Asian Champions League.

In last year's AFC Champions League group, they were in a group with Shandong Luneng, and remained unbeaten with a away score of 1:1 and 1:0 at home. It can be said that the Chinese Super League team is more like the weak in front of them.

This is a typical Southeast Asian team. The players have certain personal abilities and are quick to pass and receive. In addition, there are more than 12 Thai internationals in the team. They have obvious advantages when facing the Chinese Super League team with rough footwork. However, the team's weakness is also obvious, that is, the players are thin and short, and they are not good at defending high-altitude balls.

Before the game, Zhang Sheng solemnly mentioned to the players that he should not underestimate the team, but during the game, he still found that his pre-game warning was not deep enough, because shortly after the game, Buriram United scored a goal using the Longteng team players' attitude of underestimating the enemy.

Buriram United, who was leading the way, was very smart and immediately retreated from the front line, not giving Longteng a chance to counterattack. Zhang Sheng stood on the sidelines and saw that the players who were attacking with all their might have been unable to win the score, and he was in a dark face throughout the whole process.

During the halftime break, Zhang Sheng criticized the players who played in a mess one by one. In the last game, Zhang Sheng felt that his players had matured after a year of AFC Champions League, and in a blink of an eye, these players were so proud.

He told the players with his own attitude that he was very dissatisfied because his pre-match advice and reminders became indifferent.

The players who were criticized all drank water and wiped their sweat carefully, for fear that Zhang Sheng's temper would burst out if he had a big move. The atmosphere in the locker room was once very depressing.

As the captain of the team, Lin Feng lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. He stood up until the halftime break was about to end. He stood up and said, "Coach, I'm sorry, let's see us in the second half. Nothing is as good as what we scored."

Zhang Sheng hummed and did not answer. In fact, the tactics before the game have been arranged very carefully and there is nothing to say.

After the start of the second half, the offense led by Lin Feng changed. He no longer insisted on making strong attacks from the middle, but after pulling the opponent's side defense, he frequently made crosses from the bottom. Finally, in the 58th minute, Lu Zhihui, who assisted to the frontcourt, knocked open the opponent's goal with his header.

After scoring the goal, Longteng's mentality relaxed a lot, and Zhang Sheng also began to adjust the players. Zou Weijia replaced Nie Jiang with not very good performance, and his attitude of playing high ball was very clear.

Sure enough, this substitution achieved results. Zou Weijia, who was 1.88 meters tall, strong and headed with a strong corner kick in 67 minutes, and the situation finally reversed.

In the remaining games, the Longteng team, whose skills are not inferior to the opponent's gamut, has a stronger body, completely controlled the situation on the field. In the final stage of the game, Pato scored another header and completely killed the game.

With Longteng's team ending the game with a score of 3:1, they won two consecutive games in the group stage and firmly occupied the first place in the group, making a good start for the upcoming Chinese Super League.

After entering March, the 2015 season of the Chinese Super League is getting closer and closer. Zhang Sheng led the Longteng team to make the final preparations before the season. Because the league is imminent, the team does not conduct large amounts of exercise training, but mainly uses adaptive training. Zhang Sheng also opened the system to view various attributes of himself and the players before the season, and then determine the final main lineup of this season based on his own tactics, and also made a pre-season call.

At the end of last season, Zhang Sheng did not upgrade the system because of his average team performance. All the summoning conditions for this season did not change. The summoning points and winning streaks left last season have been retained until now.

According to the system's summoning conditions, after the game against Buriram United, Zhang Sheng obtained 160 points while also achieving the summoning conditions of 5 consecutive victories. Before the start of the new season of the Chinese Super League, Zhang Sheng got two chances of summoning.

Zhang Sheng still put his summoned target on the coach this time, because this winter, Longteng Football School has adjusted and expanded again.

First of all, the football proofreading echelons has been divided again. The previous echelons planned by Longteng team were U9, U13 and U17. However, as football has become more and more popular in recent years, a large number of parents have begun to send their children to the football school. It is difficult for only three echelons to satisfy the daily training and competitions of young players.

Now the football school is U9 coach with children aged 9-12, U13 coach with children aged 13-16, and U17 coach with young people aged 17-21. In order to make these children and young people clearer, Zhang Sheng and Heike Fogel decided to add several echelons after the discussion. After that, Longteng Football School will have six levels: U9, U11, U13, U15, U17, U19 and above.

Secondly, Longteng Club has built new football school branches in all cities and cities in Hubei Province. In other words, Longteng Club has completed the layout of the youth training echelon in Hubei Province. In addition to expanding to surrounding provinces and cities, it will slowly supplement or dig deep into the province's youth training resources.

The adjustment and expansion of the football school have given the club's youth training coaches a huge gap. Zhang Sheng's call this time is to fill this gap.

The four coaches summoned this time came very quickly. Just the day after Zhang Sheng finished calling, the four coaches came to the club together. These are four very young coaches. They all graduated from professional sports colleges and were all returnees. They used to coach youth training in various European countries, but they were all just starting their coaching careers - they had just coached in the club's youth training for 2-3 years.

These four coaches are all around 28-30 years old, and are full of career pursuit ideas. In their opinion, it is their opportunity to return to China with new European knowledge and coaching experience to help domestic football advance.

The human resources department of Longteng Club has been tirelessly looking for capable and experienced youth training coaches in Europe. This time, the four coaches were found by the employees of the Human Resources Department entrusted the headhunting agency to entrust them to the club for interviews.

Zhang Sheng was very satisfied with these four coaches. Through conversations with them, we can see that they have a rich reserve of youth training knowledge. Although their youth training coaching experience is not long, they have extremely their own ideas. They are the kind of people who can flexibly apply knowledge.

The arrival of the four of them can greatly improve the talent gap in Longteng Football School. Heike, who has been crying to Zhang Sheng about the shortage of people, finally smiled happily. With so many experts at one go, he finally started to breathe a sigh of relief.

After solving the problem of youth training coaches, Zhang Sheng began to check his information about himself and the players.

After calling out the system, Zhang Sheng saw a shocking message, that is, the system prompted the Chinese Super League to upgrade. Judging from the information prompted by the system, the Chinese Super League has greatly improved the overall level this time - the average ability value of Chinese Super League players has increased by 2-3 points, and the average potential value of Chinese Super League players has increased by 5 points.

After Zhang Sheng took a closer look, he found that he had completed the first phase of a long-term task.

The system girl previously posted a long-term task to Zhang Sheng - making progress together. The system did not give a thorough indicator of completion, but was divided into several stages. The task of the first stage was to provide 10 domestic players with ability values ​​of more than 70 to the entire Chinese Super League.

Zhang Sheng did not expect to complete this task before this season, because according to his understanding, there are indeed more than ten domestic players with more than 70 abilities from Longteng team, but Li Yun, Qin Minghao, Xu Mingyu and Ding Huaiyi all went to Europe to study abroad and did not stay in China. Unexpectedly, the system still prompted himself to complete the task.

Zhang Sheng and strangely asked the system girl: "Are you given this benefit this time? How did this task be completed?"

The system girl patiently explained to Zhang Sheng: "The overall strength of the Chinese Super League is not just about sending players to other Chinese Super League teams. As long as you send players, whether they are sent to domestic or foreign countries, it will increase the influence of the Chinese Super League. Selling them to domestic clubs directly improves the level of other Chinese Super League teams, but if you send players to Europe, once they recognize the level of Chinese players, they will also let European clubs know the level of Chinese players. They will keep a close eye on domestic players, so that players will have more chances of playing football in Europe, and stimulate their performance. For example, this time, Zhang Linpeng from Guangzhou Evergrande wants to go to Europe even if he lives or not, and there are European teams who really buy him? Without you giving players to Europe, how could this happen?"

"So what's going on with the improvement of the average potential of players?" Zhang Sheng asked curiously.

The system girl seemed to have become an understanding and intimate sister this time, and she said everything: "Isn't this normal? Do you think Chinese players are really that unsuitable for playing football? Now most Chinese Super League players have a comprehensive ability index of less than 70, and players who are capable of being selected for the national team are around 70, and the main players of the national team are above 70, and there are a few core players who are 74-75. This ability index is basically impossible for teams in the top five European leagues. I don't think you think these players only have such potential. They are just playing football in low-level games for a long time, and their potential value has been greatly reduced. Now that the overall game level has improved, the potential value has gradually recovered."
