On December 1st, Jiangcheng was sunny, with a southwesterly wind of level 3, and a temperature of 13 to 19 degrees. On this day with good weather, the Jiangcheng Longteng team ushered in the first round of the Football Association Cup final.
As it is a weekend afternoon, fans are basically resting, which also allows a large number of fans to have time to come and watch the game. Although the game only started at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and it is less than 2 o'clock now, the stadium is already full.
There was also a bustle of people outside, but there was a lively cheering sound both inside and outside the stadium.
Going back 2 hours, in the large conference room of the Longteng Club, Zhang Sheng summoned all the players of the Longteng team for a meeting. When the players thought it was just a simple pre-game mobilization meeting, everyone found that Zhang Sheng turned on the lights in the room.
It was closed and all the curtains were drawn at the same time. The players all looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what Zhang Sheng was going to do, but everyone soon understood.
Zhang Sheng turned on the projector, and a picture appeared on the screen.
A highlight of the game appeared on the screen. In the highlight, Sun Yu, Shu Jun, Gao Jun, Deng Qun, Xu Mingyu, and Liu Xing used a quick kick to shoot the ball. Finally, Deng Qun's kick with the instep rubbed the ball.
It drew an arc and hit the far corner.
On the screen, Liu Jianhong shouted at the moment the ball hit the goal: "The ball has gone in, it has gone in, it has gone in." This was a counterattack by the Longteng team after stealing the ball in the backcourt, passing between the six players in the frontcourt.
The passing and receiving cooperation completely penetrated Renhe's midfield and backcourt defense. This goal is a textbook team goal."
Seeing this goal, the last players of the Longteng team seemed very excited. Obviously this was the first goal in the first round of the last FA Cup.
Next was the first goal conceded by the Longteng team. After Yu Hai scored, it was Liu Jianhong who shouted: "The ball has gone in, it has gone in, it has gone in. With the advantage of the two wings, Renhe used the width of the court to score a big goal."
The range shifted, and then two fast forwards went straight into the penalty area to equalize the score."
Then there are videos of all the goals and goals scored by the Longteng team in the first and second rounds of last year's FA Cup final. Finally, after the game, there was a sad scene of the Longteng team players who lost the FA Cup championship. Many players
Now they all look immature, but Zhang Sheng keeps comforting one player after another on the court.
At the same time, Liu Jianhong's emotional voice came out of the screen, "This all-China team with an average age of only 21 years old and an average age of 19 players represents the future of Chinese football. Although they are
They failed in the championship competition, but they are still young. As long as they keep growing like this, they will have more opportunities. At the same time, I wish them a good future."
After showing these highlights, Zhang Sheng turned off the projector and opened the curtains. The warm sunshine in the winter afternoon suddenly filled the entire conference room, and the players who had not yet reacted to the darkness squinted their eyes.
.The entire scene in the conference room was very quiet, and all the players seemed to be thinking about something.
After Zhang Sheng looked around for a week, he asked: "What do you think of the commentator's words at the end?"
It was the team captain Deng Qun who answered first: "Although I am very young, this is not an excuse for failure. I don't want to be a loser, I want to be a champion."
As the vice-captain, Shu Jun also continued: "Yes! I agree with the captain. We didn't win the championship last year, but we are here again this year."
Immediately, the players below responded enthusiastically to Zhang Sheng.
Zhang Sheng pressed his hands and said: "Yes. I am just like you, I also hate failure. But last year's failure also created us as an undefeated team this year. As long as our belief in victory is still there, we will still be able to win."
That invincible Longteng team! Then the champion of this year's FA Cup will be us ---" Zhang Sheng asked in a long voice.
As the captain, Deng Qun raised his head and said: "Team Longteng."
Zhang Sheng asked in a positive tone: "What team?"
Deng Qun said more firmly: "Team Dragon!"
Zhang Sheng raised his voice: "What will we be?"
Deng Qun replied loudly: "Champion!"
Next, the players all excitedly knocked on the table and shouted in rhythm: "Team Dragon! Champion!" "Team Dragon! Champion!".
Seeing that the players were getting excited, Zhang Sheng also wanted everyone to get too excited. He clapped his hands and said, "Okay. Now we must be confident because we have defeated Guangzhou, a stronger opponent than Guizhou Renhe."
Evergrande, what I want in this game is victory!"
On the bus to the stadium, Zhang Sheng saw that although the players were wearing headphones and seemed very leisurely, their determined eyes told Zhang Sheng that they had a fire in their hearts that yearned for victory.
When the bus was about to enter the stadium, a group of fans gave the bus a thumbs up.
In the home team's locker room before the game, after the players had tidied up their clothes, Zhang Sheng said: "In this game, the most important player for the Guizhou Renhe is their attacking midfielder Misimovic Ivo. Did you listen?"
Have you told him?"
Ivo nodded and said: "I know."
"How do you think you compare with him?" Zhang Sheng asked again.
"I think I'm better than him!" Ivo answered seriously.
Zhang Sheng also said seriously: "Very good, I just like your shameless attitude!"
Hearing what Zhang Sheng said, the players all burst into laughter. After the translator finished telling him what Zhang Sheng said, Ivo also burst out laughing. Apparently, Zhang Sheng's serious teasing also made him happy.
Then Zhang Sheng asked Kanter: "Have you heard of Misimovich?"
After understanding the situation through a translator, Kanter also made a rare joke: "I've heard that, I can completely guard against him."
When the interpreter finished speaking Kanter's words, everyone burst into laughter.
Zhang Sheng shook his head and said: "You are more shameless than Ivo..."
Amid everyone's laughter, Zhang Sheng turned around and asked Gao Jun, the other midfielder. Before he could say anything, Gao Jun said: "I don't know about Amway. I've fallen in love with you and I'm not dating. The shadow area is 9 square meters. How can I keep it safe?"
Big, no regrets, New Oriental, Lan Xiang, save mom first, coach, do you have anything else to ask?"
After hearing Gao Jun's reply online to counter Amway, I realized that when I asked several people in succession if they knew Misimovich, it was really like stopping people on the street to ask Amway.
Now Zhang Sheng also laughed and said: "Okay! Stop joking. I won't say more about the importance of Missy as a player. Kanter and Gao Jun, you two, remember, one is responsible for the front."
The defender is responsible for guarding his passing line. Once his ball is intercepted, he immediately counterattacks, and the counterattack must be fast."
Kanter and Gao Jun also nodded very seriously and said: "I understand."
Then Zhang Sheng said to McGowan: "In this game, it's up to you whether you can prevent the opponent from scoring goals. Their forwards, whether they are active or substitutes, rely on headers to score goals and ferry assists. You have to fully
Use your height and defensive headers to your advantage to limit them."
McGowan also nodded seriously.
Next, Zhang Sheng turned to Ding Huaiyi and said: "Ding Huaiyi, you will have the heaviest task in this game, because their left wing is their key offensive direction. Their left wing Yu Hai has great breakthrough ability, and he
What he likes the most is cutting inside. In the process of cutting inside, his favorite way is to use small steps to adjust his center of gravity. Your task is to interrupt his breakthrough with the ball as soon as possible."
Then Zhang Sheng said to Shu Jun: "After Ding Huaiyi interrupts his rhythm, you are responsible for pushing him to the sideline. Don't give him a chance to cut inside. His passing ability is very average. Even if you give him
It doesn’t matter if it’s the bottom.”
Shu Jun quickly nodded in agreement.
Finally, Zhang Sheng turned his head and said to Ding Huaiyi: "Your most important task is to attack. I have always asked you to use as few conventional technical moves as possible before. Do you remember?"
Ding Huaiyi nodded quickly and said, "I remember!"
"Then I will release the ban for you today. You can live your life as much as you can. You can play with the opponent as much as you can. The same goes for passing the ball. You can be as unexpected as you want. I only have one request. Try to completely beat the opponent's left wing.
Defeat. I will give you all the right to attack from the right. It is up to you when to pass and when to cooperate." Zhang Sheng warned.
Ding Huaiyi looked surprised and said, "Really?"
Zhang Sheng said: "Yes. Gao Jun, Ivo, you two and Ding Huaiyi will be responsible for the attack on the right. As long as we defeat their left, their side attack will be completely paralyzed."
Finally, Zhang Sheng concluded: "Today, except for Kante in the middle, who is mainly responsible for marking tasks, we attack all other positions. At our home court, we want to determine the result in one game."
Soon players from both sides began to enter the field. Liu Jianhong and Zhu Guanghu of CCTV were in charge of the broadcast, which also showed the importance CCTV attached to the broadcast of this game.
Liu Jianhong first said: "I also commented on last year's FA Cup final. The Longteng team at that time gave me a great shock. The kind of ground attack football they played on the field was refreshing. Today they had better results and were eliminated.
A giant like Guangzhou Evergrande has once again reached the finals. I don’t know what you think of this Dragons team, Director Zhu. After all, their head coach Zhang Sheng was a player when you coached the Magic Water Youth Team."
Zhu Guanghu smiled and said: "I am very familiar with Zhang Sheng. He was among the first batch to be selected for the Magic Water Youth Team, and he was also among the second batch to go to Brazil. He was not very active in the team before. It should be said that he played
His football talent is not very outstanding, but when he played football, he worked very hard and was very smart. However, after Magic Water was disbanded, he retired directly and went to college. At that time, I heard that his family
The conditions are very good. Considering his financial conditions, the fact that he is willing to work so hard only shows that he really loves football. Now that he has achieved such results while leading the team, I am also very happy." (To be continued.)
