After the game, Zhang Sheng, as the coach of the away team and a young junior, took the initiative to shake hands with Tang Yaodong. When the two shook hands and talked, Tang Yaodong generously congratulated the Longteng team on their victory, and
He said very directly: "I didn't expect that when we meet again in less than a year, the strength of the Longteng team is already so strong. If it is not as expected, you should firmly occupy a seat this year.
."
Hearing what Tang Yaodong said, Zhang Sheng quickly said modestly: "Director Tang thinks highly of us. Most of our players are still young, and they still have a long way to go. But I also hope that we can borrow your good words from Director Tang.
You can succeed. In fact, in my opinion, with the strength of Jianye's current team and players, you will definitely occupy another spot."
When Tang Yaodong heard Zhang Sheng's words, he smiled with a straight face throughout the game: "I also borrowed your good words from Coach Zhang, haha."
At the press conference after the game, Tang Yaodong repeated what he said to Zhang Sheng, once again emphasizing the strength of the Longteng team. He also said that the players of Henan Jianye were inferior to the strength of the Longteng team.
His words caused an uproar among the reporters below. The head coach of the relegated team, which has always maintained the configuration of Chinese players and foreign players, actually admitted that the team's strength is not as good as that of the newly promoted team, which has always invested the smallest amount in the league. This made everyone feel a bit incredible. Yes.
Some reporters even believed that Tang Yaodong was covering up his own loss.
However, fans who have watched this game will not think so. After all, it is a real thing for the players of the Longteng team to beat the players of the Jianye team on the field.
When Zhang Sheng was interviewed after the game, when the reporter asked about the goals of the Longteng team this season, Zhang Sheng also expressed his wishes in a very high-profile manner: "The Longteng team has only one goal this year, and that is to win the championship of the Chinese League One."
."
As a result, the reporter who was interviewing did not react for a while and asked: "Isn't the goal not to rush?" After saying this, he wanted to slap himself. Everyone else said they wanted to win the championship, and he asked others if they wanted to rush. In fact, this is also
Everyone's habitual thinking is that when all the Chinese League One teams talk about their ultimate goal, they mention rushing, but few people talk about competing for the championship.
The reporter's words also made everyone who reacted laugh below. This could be regarded as an episode in the post-match press conference.
After this game, the Longteng team can be said to be attracting attention from everyone in China League One. Everyone compared Harbin Yiteng, who was also a newly promoted team last season, with the Longteng team. Because last season, Harbin Yiteng had an entire team.
It has the strongest offensive ability in the Chinese League One, and as a newly promoted team, it achieved fourth place in the Chinese League One last year.
However, everyone agrees that the investment of the Longteng team is not enough for them to reach the mid-level this season. Because in recent years, only one team has been able to successfully reach the top as a newly promoted team, and that is Dalian Albin.
Dalian Albin won the Chinese League Two championship in 2o1o and was promoted to the Chinese League One, and then won the Chinese League One championship in 2011 and was promoted to the Chinese League. It can be said to be a blockbuster.
However, compared to the Longteng team, Dalian Albin's investment is on par with that of the mid-level giants. The team's investment is more than ten times that of the Longteng team. It can be said that it is completely made with money.
So although everyone admired the Longteng team's victory over Henan Jianye, everyone disagreed with Zhang Sheng's slogan of winning the China League One championship.
Of course, the Longteng team did not pay too much attention to these disturbances from the outside world, because the Longteng team was about to usher in its second away game, which was also the second round of the league.
After playing the Henan Jianye game, Zhang Sheng led the team back to Jiangcheng. There were also reserve team players who returned to Jiangcheng with the team. They participated in the reserve team league of the Chinese League A and played on the court with
Defeated the opponent with a big score of 5:0. As usual, Zhang Sheng gave all the players of the Longteng team a day off.
After a day's rest and two days of recovery training, Zhang Sheng took the team to Yiyang, Hunan Province on March 21. This time the Longteng team's opponent was the Hunan Xiangtao team.
Hunan Xiangtao is considered a veteran of the Chinese League One. When the Chinese League One was founded, Hunan Xiangtao was one of them. Three years later, it was demoted to the Chinese League Two. It took another three years to reach the Chinese League One, and it has been there ever since.
Hanging around in the Chinese League One. Until Zhang Sheng crossed over, Hunan Xiangtao was still in the Chinese League One, but it had basically reserved its relegation spot for that year. Generally speaking, this is a football team with history but no strength.
Team.
At the same time, "earning points by performing arts in the first half of the year, and making money by selling yourself in the second half of the year" is a true portrayal of such a team. Hunan Xiangtao's performance also develops according to this trend every year. In the first half of each year, the players will work very hard,
The team's performance is also very good. In the second half of the year, losing streak became the team's theme. The same was true last season. In the first half of the season, the Xiangtao team was still second in the league.
In the second half of the year, an eight-game losing streak turned into a situation where promotion could not be achieved and relegation was not a worry.
This kind of team also has a very distinctive feature, that is, the players are generally older. Among the main players of Hunan Xiangtao last season, the youngest was 27-year-old Dong Fangzhuo, and the other main players were all
30 years old or even over 30 years old. For them, if the team really reaches the middle, the only thing waiting for them is to be purged, so rumors of ruining the team's results have always been popular in the Xiangtao team.
This season, the team fired head coach Zhang Xu and hired Serbian Drazen Beicek as head coach. Beicek is very familiar with Chinese football. As early as 2010, Beicek
He accepted Blazevic's invitation and served as the assistant coach of Shanghai Shenhua, and then continued to assist Lao Bu in the Olympic team. In the second half of the 2o11 season, Beisek returned to Shanghai Shenhua as the head coach. After a brief return to Croatia, Beisek
Seck became the head coach of Hunan Xiangtao team at the end of 2012.
In terms of players, Xiangtao fired 6 old domestic players in one go, and all foreign players also left the team. It can be said that the Xiangtao team has undergone great changes this season. The only one who is somewhat famous in the team now is the former "King Dong"
"Dong Fangzhuo. In fact, last season, he was booed by the fans several times. In addition, his contract had expired and he always wanted to leave the team. Later, he stayed after the team tried hard to persuade him to stay.
However, Beisek is very confident in the team's strength. When a reporter interviewed him before the season, he asked: "Based on your understanding of the Chinese League One, what level is the Xiangtao team in the league?"
Beisak replied decisively: "First."
In the first round of the league, Hunan Xiangtao was tied 1:1 at home by Tianjin Songjiang. However, judging from the scene, the team's offense and defense are more organized than last season, and their ability to create scoring opportunities in the game has also been enhanced. However, the forwards are unable to seize the opportunities.
His ability was sufficient, resulting in a draw.
In the pre-match interview with the Longteng team, Beisek seemed very confident: "Although the Longteng team defeated Henan Jianye in the last round and suffered an upset, I believe we can win at home."
From Baisek's words, we can see the pride of a foreign coach who considers himself to be a high-level foreign coach.
But when it came time for the game, the situation turned completely different.
Because Xiangtao's foreign aid David Lan was suspended due to a red card, the Xiangtao team's defense in this game was all-China class. The Longteng team used a frontcourt pressing tactic. As the home team, the Xiangtao team kicked off first.
The defense was in chaos. Xiangtao goalkeeper Wang Haoyi, who had only become the main force this season, almost missed the ball into his own door when receiving a return pass from teammate Wang Yuyang.
In the 15th minute of the first half, the Longteng team took the lead. In fact, it was a matter of time. Since the ball was intercepted shortly after the Xiangtao team kicked off, the football never passed the Xiangtao team's half. This
The Cilongteng team took advantage of the cooperation between Qin Minghao and Lin Feng. Finally, after Qin Minghao passed the ball to Mahrez, Mahrez scored the goal.
Beiseck was furious for this goal on the sidelines, but the disparity in team strength left him with no choice.
In the 23rd minute, the Longteng team once again expanded the score. This time the attack started from the left. After Liu Xing successfully cut in, he passed the ball to Mahrez in an inverted triangle. Under strict surveillance by the opponent, Mahrez
Si did not attack aggressively, but reciprocated by passing the ball to Qin Minghao. Qin Minghao in front of the penalty area decisively shot the ball, and the score became 2:o.
The deficit of 0:2 in less than 25 minutes made the Xiangtao team a little unbalanced. At the 27th minute of the first half, Dong Fangzhuo dribbled the ball and tried to use it to beat Gao Jun. Unfortunately, the ball was too big and was beaten by Gao Jun.
The ball was intercepted easily. Dong Fangzhuo, who had intercepted the ball, got up and made a fierce tackle from behind. Gao Jun was tackled to the ground.
Seeing that their teammates were violated, the players of the Longteng team came over to argue. The referee also quickly came to control the situation. Considering that this is the home court of the Xiangtao team, the referee only showed Dong Fangzhuo a yellow card. But from Gao Jun's expression
From the looks of it, it was obvious that he could no longer continue the game, so Zhang Sheng had to replace Gao Jun with Sun Yu.
After a preliminary examination of Gao Jun's injury, the team doctor suggested that it be better to go to the hospital for further examination. Zhang Sheng also had a sullen face, resentful of the low level of referees in the Chinese League One.
Gao Jun's injury did not weaken the Longteng team's offensive momentum. Instead, it made the players work harder.
In the 34th minute, after a series of cooperation in front of the Xiangtao team's penalty area, Deng Qun countered offside in the penalty area and scored the third goal.
Seeing the third goal, the entire Yiyang Olympic Sports Center fans fell silent. It was only more than 30 minutes into the first half and they were already trailing 0:3. This was a huge blow to the fans.
Even Lin Fei, the commentator of the Golden Eagle Documentary Channel who was responsible for commentating the Xiangtao team's game, was completely speechless: "The Longteng team is already 3:0 ahead. It can only be said that the strength gap between the two teams is really too big. But through this game
, I just want to say to all the Chinese League One teams: The wolf is coming, everyone, be careful." (To be continued.)
