The head coach of Guangzhou Sunspring this season is an old acquaintance of Zhang Sheng - the former Hubei football star Zhang Jun. In last year's Chinese League Two, Zhang Sheng played against the Shenzhen Fengpeng team he led, and Fengpeng finally
It was also in the knockout stage of the Second League that it failed to reach the First Division. After that, Zhang Jun fulfilled his promise and chose to resign. This season, as a player and coach who has been playing in Shenzhen for a long time, he was invited to coach Sun Spring. It should be said that so far his performance
He has been very successful in leading the team. This is also related to his low profile. In the last round of competition, Zhang Jun, who had scored 19 points with 6 wins, 2 losses and a draw in 9 league rounds, was still modest when being interviewed by reporters.
Said: "We are still 12 points away from relegation."
Facing the low-key Zhang Jun, Zhang Sheng seemed very high-key in the pre-match interview: "Our goal is to win."
The players of the Longteng team also lived up to Zhang Sheng's hopes.
Although it rained heavily in Guangzhou during this game, which greatly affected the Longteng team's passing and control style, the Longteng team still relied on the strong abilities of its players to gain an advantage on the court.
Due to heavy rain, the score at Guangdong Provincial People's Stadium, home of Sunshine Springs, was very serious. This had a great impact on the implementation of the tactics of both teams. Because Guangdong Sunshine Springs has always adopted the southern style of football,
They pay great attention to small skills and passing with their feet. This is especially true for the Longteng team. Fast passing has become a symbol of the Longteng team.
After both sides made many mistakes in passing and receiving in the opening game, everyone gave up on passing ground balls, and instead played more half-high balls or simply long passes. At this time, the height and physical strength of the players on both sides were different.
It showed up.
Except for two foreign players and a few imported defenders from other provinces, the players of Guangdong Rizhiquan are generally not very tall. However, the boys of the Longteng team have grown up over the past two years and have been carefully taken care of by the team's nutritionist and physical coach.
, the body rushed taller, stronger and stronger, and the Longteng team gained a greater advantage in this rainy battle.
However, this rainy battle also brought attrition to the Longteng team. First, midfielder Mahrez was injured in the 31st minute of the first half. Because the turf was too slippery in the rain, Mahrez, who was dribbling the ball, was hit by the opponent.
Zhang Sheng had to replace him with Ivo. Mahrez's dismissal greatly affected the forward ability of the Longteng team's frontcourt offense.
However, one advantage of Ivo's playing is that his body is stronger than Mahrez, and he has a greater advantage in the frontcourt. In the 43rd minute, the Longteng team ushered in the best goal of the first half.
Opportunity. Ivo used his body to squeeze away Sun Fountain's Hong Kong midfielder Leung Chun-bang and then passed the ball straight to forward Deng Qun. Deng Qungao followed up and got rid of the defender and shot a low shot from the near corner that missed the goal post.
The rain became heavier and heavier in the second half. Zhang Sheng first replaced midfielder Gao Jun. Because of his previous injury, Gao Jun went to participate in the National Youth Team game. After returning, he played a full game in the league, and his physical fitness showed
There were some problems. Kanter, who came on the field, took advantage of this physical battle and took advantage of it.
In the 67th minute, it was Kanter's interception of the ball in the backcourt that created an opportunity for the Longteng team. After intercepting the ball from the opponent Avar, he decisively passed a long pass. Qin Minghao in the midfield took advantage of it.
The height advantage gave the ball to Liu Xing on the left. Liu Xing decisively cut into the penalty area and then volleyed hard. Due to the rain, the ball was very slippery, and Rizhiquan goalkeeper Yu Yongzhe missed the ball.
, allowing Deng Qun to find an opportunity. Facing Deng Qun’s close shot, Yu Yongzhe was helpless, and the Longteng team took the lead at 0:1.
Sunshine Fountain is not without opportunities. In the 78th minute, Sunshine Fountain's forward Dolly used his height advantage to win the confrontation with Kanter in the midfield header. Another forward Avar got the ball he passed over and took it.
Avar, who was behind the ball, made an action that was unexpected by the Longteng team. He shot from a long distance more than 30 meters away from the goal. The power of this shot was very strong. When Xu Di faced this shot,
There was obviously a lack of preparation. When he got up in the air, the ball had already passed his body. Fortunately, the ball hit the goal post and bounced into the penalty area. Xu Di, who was in shock, quickly got up and hugged the ball.
After that, the Longteng team also began to guard against the opponent's long-range shots, and Sunshine Fountain had no chance to shoot. It was also difficult for the Longteng team to find good offensive opportunities due to the venue. The final game ended with the Longteng team defeating Sunshine Fountain in an away game with an o:1 score of 0:1.
.
The end of this game also means that the Longteng team tied the highest winning streak record in the history of the Chinese League One. Both Zhang Sheng and the outside media recognized that the value of this winning streak is far higher than the previous winning streak of the Xiamen Blue Lions.
.
In addition to the shocking breaking point in the Longteng team's record, which is that they have not conceded a single goal in 10 consecutive victories, this record of the Xiamen Blue Lions was questioned by many people at the beginning.
Because in the subsequent anti-gambling crackdown on Chinese football, Yu Kewei, who was the team leader and assistant coach of the Xiamen Blue Lions at the time, was found out. He was suspected of the commercial bribery case of Wang Po and Wang Xin. He was tried in court.
When questioned, Yokowei admitted that during his tenure as assistant coach and team leader of the Xiamen Blue Lions, there were 11 games with problems in the Xiamen Blue Lions in 2005 alone. None of these games were linked to Yokowei at the time.
, and after he was arrested, he was stabbed out one by one.
These 11 games included the Xiamen Blue Lions' 3-1 Qingdao Hailifeng match on April 30, 2005. This game was also the starting point for the Blue Lions' ten-game winning streak. Next, there was the ten-game winning streak in May 2005.
On May 14th, the Guangzhou Sun Spring O-1 Xiamen Blue Lions match, and on May 21st, the Xiamen Blue Lions 3-2 Chengdu Wuniu match, which means that three of the ten consecutive games were problematic.
Therefore, domestic football, including the Chinese Football Association, rarely mentions this ten-game winning streak, because it is a black spot that they cannot erase.
After the Xiamen Blue Lions' ten-game winning streak, Yunnan Hongta won seven consecutive games in 1999 under the leadership of Qi Wusheng. However, this record was achieved in the previous A-B, and the football environment at that time was not necessarily better than the Xiamen Blue Lions.
The Lions' ten-game winning streak was even better. So what reporters compared to the Longteng team was Guangzhou Evergrande's six-game winning streak in the 2o1o season and Shanghai East Asia's six-game winning streak in the 2o12 season.
Because Evergrande’s counterattack and East Asia’s counterattack adopt two completely different models.
Evergrande relies on a large amount of money investment. In the Chinese League One that year, Evergrande invested a crazy 170 million, and all domestic and foreign players were recruited at a high premium. In the Chinese League One in 2012, Shanghai East Asia invested
Only 18oo, this investment ranked very low in last year's Chinese League One. Even if inflation is not taken into account, it was only a little more than one-tenth of Evergrande's investment at that time.
However, when we conducted research on the Dragon Team, we found that the Dragon Team adopted a different approach. That is, their investment was quite large, but in a completely different direction.
Because Longteng Club is invested by Longteng Group, as a listed company, Longteng Group is required to publish financial reports regularly. Reporters can clearly see from Longteng Group’s financial reports that Longteng Group’s investment in Longteng Club is based on sponsors.
The financial report shows that the financial expenditure of Longteng Group is 3,000RmB. And some reporters learned from the grapevine that Longteng Group originally prepared 3,000RmB for the acquisition of domestic and foreign players of Longteng Club, but due to Zhang Sheng’s advance layout,
It has not been spent. In other words, the budget of Longteng Club is 6000RmB. This investment is relatively high among all Chinese League One clubs.
Unlike other clubs that invest most of their investment in domestic and foreign aid, the Longteng team invests most of its investment in youth training. If you consider that the players of the Longteng team are all trained by themselves, and their own salaries are very low, then the Longteng team’s investment in youth training
The investment in training is a bit amazing.
For a club that is willing to invest heavily in youth training, no matter whether it is the fans, the media or the Football Association, they are impeccable. For the Longteng team that is willing to invest in youth training and can achieve results, the media began to praise it.
Moreover, this time the Longteng team's winning streak has been vigorously promoted by the Chinese Football Association. In addition to the fact that the Longteng team has provided a large number of talents to the National Youth Team, the Football Association also believes that the current domestic football environment is relatively clean, and this result is absolutely no problem.
. This matter was also specially reported on the official website of the Chinese Football Association.
These praises have brought benefits to the Longteng team, but also brought some negative effects to the Longteng team.
The benefits are obvious, that is, more fans are beginning to pay attention to the Longteng team, and the local government is paying more attention to the Longteng team. In particular, the Longteng Football School has also received a wave of attention. Previously, the main sources of students at the Longteng Football School were from Hubei Province or
To put it more narrowly, Jiangcheng City. After this report, not only parents from prefectures and cities in Hubei Province who are interested in letting their children play football began to come to Longteng Football School for consultation, but also people from some nearby provinces or more remote provinces.
Everyone began to inquire about the situation of Longteng Football School. For example, in Xinjiang, a hot spot for Chinese football that has attracted much attention, many local people began to contact Longteng Football School.
Of course, the negative impact is also obvious, that is, first-team players began to be secretly poached by outside teams. In the past, only a few star players were poached by the Longteng team, but now some main players and even substitute players are beginning to attract attention. Because
Many teams have already begun preparations for the second transfer of the Chinese League One in early July.
As for Longteng Football School, the situation is even more serious. That is, young players are being poached in large numbers. (To be continued.)
