103. Opponent situation

After the game, at the post-match press conference, Lippi first praised the performance of his players: "We performed very well today. Due to the suspension and injuries of a large number of core players, our players on the field have

I tried my best. This score is a reasonable result. Football matches are like this, everyone loses and wins."

Later, Lippi greatly praised the performance of the Longteng team: "The performance of the Longteng team in this game is worthy of their advancement. After their midfielder Gao Jun came on the court, he played a decisive role in the team's performance. This is what we always do."

Great need now.”

Faced with the Evergrande team's blatant attitude of grabbing players, Zhang Sheng counterattacked in a subsequent interview: "Gao Jun's performance is obvious to all. He should be the absolute main midfielder of the national team in the next few years, and also our football team."

The team’s absolute main defensive midfielder, no one can take him away.”

Afterwards, Zhang Sheng talked about his goals: "Our goal for this season is just one - to win the FA Cup. The championship we lost last year, we will definitely get it back this year."

Faced with Zhang Sheng's declaration, Guizhou Renhe, another team that had already eliminated Dalian Albin and entered the FA Cup finals, also responded accordingly - a 1,000 FA Cup championship bonus. Because of the existence of the Longteng team,

Last year's Football Association Cup Longteng eliminated Guangzhou Evergrande midway, and then lost to Guizhou Renhe in the final. The Renhe team also gave out the largest single championship bonus of 3,000 in the history of Chinese football.

When Guizhou Renhe announced the bonus of 3,000, many media said that Guizhou Renhe was hyping up, but the final result was beyond everyone’s imagination. The 2500 promised by Mr. Dai of Guizhou Renhe was added to the 500 promised by his friend.

Let them all go, because Yu Hai's performance was the best, and he alone received a bonus of nearly seven figures, which is equivalent to one year's annual salary of the main players of the mid- to lower-tier teams.

This year, Guizhou Renhe was also preparing to meet Guangzhou Evergrande in the finals. In order to prepare for Guangzhou Evergrande and ensure that the league entered the top 4, Guizhou Renhe lost 4 of the last 5 games this season.

The purpose was to prepare for the FA Cup with all their strength. Unfortunately, they were wrong again and Jiangcheng Longteng reached the FA Cup final. The outside world laughed and said that the Longteng team is really the god of wealth for Guizhou people and players, and they rushed to get the club to give bonuses to the players. At the same time,

He also laughed at Mr. Dai, the boss of Guizhou Renhe: "Mr. Dai is probably bleeding in his heart! Damn, I originally wanted to beat Evergrande, and I was planning to use bonuses to stimulate it. These opponents have become the Longteng team again, and the money is going to be high."

It’s all in vain, it’s better to have a bottle of Maotai per person.”

Of course, there are even more vicious jokes on the Internet: "Is Team Longteng the hunter who beats the bear? Here we go again?"

In fact, the current situation is indeed very unfavorable for the Dragon Team.

The Xianlongteng team just finished a life-and-death battle with Guangzhou Evergrande. Although it was considered a victory over Guangzhou Evergrande, the players' physical energy consumption was very serious, and many main players were unable to play the entire game.

In addition, Mahrez, the sharpest knife in the frontcourt of the Dragons, was also injured during the game and will definitely not be able to play in the game against Guizhou Renhe. Whether he can play in the second round is also a big question.

On the other hand, the Guizhou Renhe team had finished their two rounds of games on November 6. Now the team is fully preparing for the FA Cup final. The players have nearly three weeks to face it.

In these two games, another factor that is good for Guizhou Renhe is that as a team with a higher league level than Longteng, they have the order of choosing the Football Association Cup. There is no doubt that Guizhou Renhe will choose to go first.

It is very beneficial for them to play the game in the order of the last one.

After the game, the first thing Zhang Sheng did after returning to Jiangcheng was to ask about Mahrez's injury. Fortunately, the team doctor, after joint examination with the surgery department of Tongji Hospital, gave an answer that Zhang Sheng could accept.

The result - there was no other problem, just a broken nose. The doctor told Zhang Sheng that Mahrez would definitely not be able to play in the next game, but there was no problem at all in the second round because the hospital had its own

The plan is to put a mask on Mahrez.

Regarding the issue of wearing masks, the consent of the Football Association is required. On the football field, anything with sharp edges or piercing objects is not allowed to be brought onto the field. And in the Chinese league, the management is even stricter.

, even many decorations require the confirmation of the referee before they are allowed, because in high-level confrontations, many decorations may hurt yourself or even others, and masks are one of the items that are strictly controlled.

However, facial injuries are also one of the most common injuries in football matches. In the history of football, masked men are not a rare thing, because players such as Rosicky, Maldini, Torres, Chivu, Terry, etc. have suffered nose bridge injuries.

They have worn masks to participate in games, and De Rossi, Puyol, Djorkaeff and others who have injured their cheekbones have also worn masks to participate in games.

This time after the Longteng team made a request to the Chinese Football Association, the Football Association agreed to the Longteng team's request very considerately, which means that Mahrez, who has fixed his nose bridge, can play in the second round against Guizhou Renhe.

Appeared.

After getting the good news from Mahrez, Zhang Sheng gave the players a day off even three days before the game was due to play soon. This could also allow the players to relieve their mental fatigue during the extremely stressful game.

buffer.

After the holiday, the Longteng team began training. Facing the Guizhou people and this team, Zhang Sheng made an in-depth analysis.

The first thing Zhang Sheng wants to study is their head coach, the Tahitian King of the Earth - Gong Lei. As for Gong Lei's coaching level, Zhang Sheng has always felt that there is a sentence from the outside world that sums him up very well, that is, he is one of the best domestic coaches.

He is the best football commentator and has the highest coaching level among commentators. But judging from the very low level of coaches and commentators in China, he is considered good among domestic coaches - of course.

This is also the general who can be chosen among the dwarfs.

Overall, it seems that Gong Lei is actually quite promising among domestic coaches. Historically, the Guizhou team he coached did not have a very strong lineup, but he was at the forefront of the league. He defeated Evergrande in the cup and won the championship. Although the scene was not good-looking, the result was good.

At the same time, he can be regarded as a coach with a good temper. The only time the Thunder suffered a big blow was in this year's AFC Champions League. At that time, he was sent to the stands because he was dissatisfied with the law enforcement of Hassan, the killer of the Chinese team in West Asia.

However, his action of counting money to the referee on the spot was an earth-shattering event, and he was eventually punished and suspended for 2 games by the AFC.

Another characteristic of Gong Lei is that he has served as a firefighting coach many times. Historically, he often served as a commentator on CCTV after retiring. He has served as a firefighting coach five times, so many fans online compare him with the famous European coach Ranieri.

Zhang Sheng also thinks that the comparison is quite appropriate. Of course, in terms of ability, he is far inferior to Ranieli.

However, this season Guizhou Renhe has a "double head coach" situation. Of course, this is also a joking name from the outside world, because there is currently a figure in the Guizhou Renhe team who is more prestigious than Gong Lei - Sun Xuhai.

As one of the most successful players in Chinese history, Sun Xuhai's prestige in the team is not just talk, because his performance on the court this year is really very good. It is rare that at the age of 36, he still maintains a very good performance.

In a high competitive state, the header he directed and performed in the AFC Champions League can be regarded as telling everyone that I, the Chinese Sun, are not old yet.

So this season the Guizhou Renhe always maintain a state of having a head coach on the sidelines and a head coach on the court. Even though too many people say that Sun Xuhai is the "ball tyrant" in the team, his role in the team is still

Very exemplary.

The biggest success of the Guizhou Renhe this season is the introduction of Misimovic. As the former Bundesliga assists leader and the captain of the European strong team Bosnia and Herzegovina, even though he has reached the late stage of his career, his ability has been outstanding throughout the entire season.

All of them are second to none.

As a typical Eastern European attacking midfielder, he not only has good physical fitness, but is also good at passing threatening balls. He often provides teammates with good scoring opportunities through passing balls. He can also often use free kicks to score goals. In this season

In the Chinese League, he became the assist leader in the Chinese League this season with 12 assists. In the first round of the game, he will also be the focus of Zhang Sheng's team's defense.

The Guizhou Renhe's good results this season also depend on their central defender Nano. As the absolute main defensive force of Levante, which ranked fourth in La Liga last season, his ability is the barrier for Levante to be ranked among the best and become a dark horse.

Nano is characterized by his strong body, good header, marking and steals, and can play as center back and left back. The 31-year-old's contract with Levante was originally due to expire this summer (most of Levante's player contracts expire this summer)

In that period, because the club was very poor, the transfer budget for the entire season was only 1 million euros. Last season, the Ecuadorian striker Caicedo, who was bought out from Manchester City for 1 million euros, scored 14 goals in La Liga. In the end, he reluctantly sold it to Moscow for 8 million euros.

Lokomotiv earns the difference, which shows how poor this club is)

That’s why a La Liga team’s main defender was transferred to a Chinese team for 500,000 euros.

The Guizhou people got a big deal.

Guizhou Renhe's former main forward, Misimovich's compatriot Muslimovich, and another forward Rafa are all typical high center forwards. Their scoring ability is mainly reflected in their headers.

Yes, Zhang Sheng is not very worried. (To be continued.)
