After the score became 3:o, Zhang Sheng began to gradually replace the substitutes, so that the young players could also come on to receive training. Especially when Shu Jun was replaced, the fans in the stands were shocked.
Everyone stood up and applauded him. This is the greatest recognition that fans can give a player.
In the end, the Dragon Teng team won the game 3:o thanks to Shu Jun's excellent swing.
After these three games, the Longteng team won all three games, ranking first in the Chinese League One standings with an impressive record of scoring 10 goals and conceding 0 goals. And two of these three games were away from home.
There was also a game against a relegated team. Especially in the third game, the Longteng team easily defeated the opponent even though they were missing 7 absolute main players. Such results made the entire Chinese League One team silent.
Already.
Another good news after this game is that several players from the national youth team who were promoted have returned to the team. During the training and competition of the national youth team, no one was injured. And with the Longteng team players as the
The national youth team of this team shook hands with the Croatian national youth team 1:1. The offense and assists of the Chinese national youth team came from the players of the Longteng team, namely Deng Qun and Liu Xing.
Another good phenomenon is that these players who have returned from the National Youth Team are obviously more confident in training. For athletes, being selected into the national team is the greatest affirmation. Because this proves that they are the best players in the same age group in China.
The best player. Especially for players like the Dragons who were almost abandoned by football, they are even more valuable.
Now Zhang Sheng is in a happy trouble, that is, whether they are the main players or the substitutes, the players have performed very well. It has become a very headache for Zhang Sheng to arrange who to play. In the end, Zhang Sheng decided to let a few players play full games.
The players of the National Youth Team, such as Qin Minghao, Liu Xing and Deng Qun, should take a break because they have been flying back and forth for a week and will soon participate in the next away game. They are really tired.
The Longteng team's opponent in the fourth round was the Yanbian Changbai Tigers. Zhang Sheng still admired Yanbian football very much. The Yanbian team has always been composed mainly of Korean players, and they are known for their ferocity, tenacity, and unique all-attack and all-defense characteristics.
The style of play is well-known in Chinese football. Yanbian players have one biggest advantage over other Chinese players: they are willing to run.
In his previous life, Zhang Sheng came up with a rule when he was playing amateur games or wild football: whichever team has more Korean players has a greater chance of winning. They fight the most actively on the court and run the most.
The players are always Korean players.
Yanbian clubs have another characteristic, that is, they are poor. This is mainly caused by the Yanbian team's own limitations, which is that they only select Korean players. However, for this population of 2.17 million (in 2010), the regional GDP is 8.5
100 million yuan, these two figures rank last among the 22 cities with Chinese and Chinese League One teams, how can they be compared with those clubs with a large population base and a large amount of corporate support.
For example, this season, Yanbian Changbaihu was in a mess at the beginning of the season.
First, Xu Bo, the team's top scorer last season, moved to Shijiazhuang Yongchang. Then Pei Yuwen, Gao Wanguo, Cui Yongzhe, and Jiang Hongquan also successfully "escaped from the sea of misery." Pei Yuwen joined Shenbei, Cui Yongzhe joined Lifan, Jiang Hongquan joined Guizhou, and Gao Wanguo returned to Guizhou.
Returned to Li Xiao to play in the second division. These five people have been the absolute main force in the three lines of the Yanbian team in the past few seasons. Their departure is equivalent to taking away a central axis of Changbai Tiger.
In addition, the Yanbian Changbai Tigers, who were already short of funds, were punished by the Football Association before the season. In addition to deducting three points, they were also fined 500,000. This fine is equivalent to the team's home ticket revenue for a season. Even so, it is still
It can be said that the Chinese Football Association raised its hand and gave Yanbian Football a break.
The goal of the Yanbian team this season is very clear, which is to avoid relegation and to train new players. Because a large number of main players have left, the Yanbian team is basically Home Alone now.
Before the game, Yanbian team coach Zhao Jingyan made it very clear when he laid out the tactics: "The opponent is a very strong team. Everyone's task is to defend well and show the fighting spirit of our Yanbian people. When we counterattack
You must be resolute and don’t be sloppy.”
The game started soon. There is one thing that is very unique about playing football in Yanbian, and that is the fans in Yanbian.
If you say you love a team with your life, Yanbian fans have done it. Football culture in Yanbian is universal. Not only young men love football, but also many girls and even a large number of elderly people. Yanbian Club has been around since 2011
Free tickets are given to elderly fans over 70 years old, and the approximately 5,000 seats on Nos. 2, 3, and 4 of the stadium are used as stands for the elderly. What is unexpected is that these stands are full every time, and even more so outside the stadium.
There are still many elderly people waiting.
Of course, when it comes to Yanbian fans, the most impressive thing is the "tree hanging". On April 17, 1994, the tickets for the Jilin vs. Dalian game were sold out in the first three days. Fans who couldn't buy tickets climbed to the east side of the stadium.
Watching football on the pine trees in Yanji Park at the back, this was the prototype of "tree hanging for fans". At that time, whenever there was an important game, there would be a tree hanging. In order to grab the few trees in good positions, you had to go there in advance.
In recent seasons in the Chinese League One, the Yanbian team's average home attendance has exceeded 20,000, and sometimes it has exceeded the 30,000 mark! What is this concept? This number may not be anything to Evergrande and Guoan, but you must know
, the population of Yanji City, where the Yanbian team is located, is only over 50,000, and the entire Yanbian Prefecture is only about 2,000,000! Compared with Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, which has a population of over 10 million, the attendance figure of 30,000 is still amazing!
This game was also the most aggressive running team that the Longteng team has seen so far. Heavy snow fell in Yanbian on the day of this game. The staff and stadium security only cleared the field one hour before the game. The snow piled up before it could be cleared.
On the sidelines, the entire game was played in the snow.
The team that got the kick-off in this game was the Longteng team, but as soon as the players of the Longteng team kicked off the ball, the Yanbian team started to press crazily. Ivo, who took Qin Minghao's place, did not expect that the opponent's press would be so active.
Notice that the ball was intercepted by the opponent. The Yanbian team immediately started a fast break after intercepting the ball.
Yanbian football rarely has the kind of big kick in the backcourt. They also push forward, and their push speed is very fast. They often kick in front of the opponent's penalty area with two or three kicks.
But when they faced the Longteng team, this kind of offense was greatly restricted. After all, the strength of the Longteng team's players was still much higher than theirs. When the Longteng players set up their defensive formation, the Yanbian team's offense quickly started.
The midfield was stopped, and it was Sun Yu who grabbed the ball. Even so, the Yanbian fans in the stands still applauded the players loudly.
In the next nearly 30 minutes, the Yanbian team used its non-stop running to prevent the Longteng team from having any good opportunities defensively. However, when the game reached nearly 40 minutes, the players' physical fitness still reached the limit.
.
Especially the combination of Shu Jun, Lin Feng and Mahrez on the right. All three of them are players who are very good at passing and receiving. The Yanbian team's right wing was suppressed very hard, and the defensive players on the right wing also have physical strength.
The most consumed.
In the 42nd minute of the first half, Mahrez used his skills at his feet to pass two people on the muddy field, and then passed it straight to Wenkai in the penalty area. After Wenkai used his body to squeeze away the opponent's central defender, he
A powerful shot with his foot made the score 0:1. Yanbian team goalkeeper Chi Wenyi, who had always performed very well before, was completely helpless with this shot.
In the second half, the game became even more difficult. Because the players trampled on the field in the first half, the entire field became even worse. The upturned turf was frozen by the low temperature, making the field uneven. Long Teng
The team's passing and controlling style was greatly restricted.
After the half-time break, the Yanbian team became more familiar with their own venue. Longjing Hailanjiang Stadium has been Yanbian's home stadium for several years, and being located in the Northeast, Yanbian players are more adaptable to such a venue and climate.
In the first 20 minutes of the second half, the Yanbian team once suppressed the Longteng team's formation. They took advantage of the width of the field to directly deflect the ball and then chase it. This simple and rough style of play is very suitable for the current game conditions.
To make matters worse, due to the venue, Long Teng's left back Zhou Hai accidentally stepped on the upturned frozen soil and sprained his foot. Zhang Sheng had to replace Zhou Hai with Zhou Zhou.
Next, the Yanbian team repeatedly kicked the ball at a 45-degree angle on both sides of the midfield. However, there were two people, McGowan and Wang Peng, in the penalty area of the Longteng team. Both of them were very tall, which made Yanbian
The team's attacks failed many times.
After 30 minutes of the second half, the sequelae of the Yanbian team's crazy running in the first half appeared. The left full-back and left midfielder both suffered from cramps continuously. Players in other positions also showed obvious signs of running.
In order to overcome the lack of physical fitness, head coach Zhao Jingyan decisively replaced two players on the left. Then he asked the entire team to move back in preparation for defensive counterattack tactics.
Zhang Sheng saw that the conditions on the field were not suitable for a strong attack, and he tacitly replaced Mahrez, who had been playing the main role during this period. In order to prevent players from being injured by the field during the remaining time, Zhang Sheng asked the team to reduce the number of players.
Attack. Because the Longteng team was not in a hurry to attack, the Yanbian team had no chance to counterattack. The last 10 minutes or so of the game were basically spent in midfield entanglements and long shots.
In the end, the Longteng team narrowly defeated its opponent 0:1 in the away game and won four consecutive victories. (To be continued.)
