As for the team's defense, Zhang Sheng is not too worried. Although Zhou Hai, Wang Peng and Xu Di all left the team before the season, the Longteng team's talent reserve is still very good on the defense line. Wang Peng
In the latter part of last season, he gradually became a substitute, and Zhou Hai rarely even got a chance to play.
In the central defender position, McGowan and Ma Yongli, one is defensively sound, and the other is not only defensive but also has a very good ability to play the ball forward and even attack forward; as for the two full-backs,
The abilities of Zhou Zhou on the left and Shu Jun on the right have been verified through countless competitions, and their strength cannot be said.
In the substitute position, the Longteng team has players like Lu Zhihui at center back who are almost as capable as the main players, and excellent young substitute players like Du Zhenyu. As for full-backs, in addition to Lu Zhihui, who can play both left and right
, Xiao Yunfan's ability is on par with the main players, he even has greater potential than Shu Jun, and he is also a player who can play both left and right. Young full-backs like Wei Zhimin need to play games.
Accumulate experience.
What really makes Zhang Sheng a little unsure is the goalkeeper position. Xu Di's departure can be said to have caught Zhang Sheng off guard. Although Zhou Wei's system index ability is higher than Xu Di's, the position of goalkeeper is not
Just looking at the ability index, experience is the most important thing for a goalkeeper. Xu Di's game experience is far from that of Zhou Wei. Xu Di has been playing high-level games, while Zhou Wei mostly plays as a substitute.
As for the goalkeeper substitute position, the Longteng team has no one available. One of the two substitute goalkeepers is a goalkeeper who has just been promoted from the U17 echelon to the U19 echelon, and his ability value and experience are completely insufficient; the other one is completely lacking in ability and experience;
The substitute is the former goalkeeper of the U19 echelon and reserve team. He is already 22 years old and has a lot of game experience. Unfortunately, the games he participated in were all low-level reserve team leagues and echelon warm-up matches.
His ability is lower than the first substitute.
If the Longteng team wants to have good goalkeepers, they have to wait until Huang Dawei grows up, but the waiting time is long, at least two or three years. Zhang Sheng can only pray that Zhou Wei can be good this season.
Get into game shape quickly, and at the same time make sure there are no injuries, otherwise there will be real problems.
During Zhang Sheng's domestic training period, his main task was to adapt the players who entered the main lineup to adapt to the team's tactics, let several substitute players accumulate playing experience, and at the same time strengthen the players' physical reserves for the upcoming games.
Prepare for the season.
During the two weeks of domestic training, except for the first week, the Longteng team focused on physical recovery. In the second week, the Longteng team began to find teams for warm-up match training.
The first opponent, the Longteng team, in order to adapt to their physical condition, was looking for a Chinese second-division team that came for training. The Longteng team had negotiated with the opponent before this game. Both sides tried to use as few hurtful moves as possible to recover.
The body is the main focus. Therefore, the game was played in a relatively open manner, and the players were relatively relaxed. The final score was fixed at 5:1. The goal conceded by the Longteng team was caused by Zhou Wei's inattention.
Two days later, the Longteng team began to warm up with the Chinese League One and Chinese teams. The confrontation in the game also began to greatly intensify. The Longteng team also slowly began to enter the rhythm of the game. In 5 days, the Longteng team
We played two consecutive warm-up matches with Dalian Albin and Henan Jianye. Everyone agreed that there was no limit to the number of substitute players. Therefore, after everyone competed with the main force in the first half, both sides made a large number of substitutions in the second half.
, basically until all the players in the game have been replaced. The only player that the Longteng team did not replace was Zhou Wei. Zhang Sheng wanted him to accumulate more game experience.
In these two games, the Longteng team had one win and one draw. The biggest problem in these two games was the defense line, which had the smallest personnel changes. The main reason was that the goalkeeper and the back line players were not familiar with each other. Fortunately, the back line players were strong enough.
Zhou Wei is strong and can often recover from mistakes through his own ability, while Zhou Wei is obviously a little too excited, often attacking rashly, or trying to grab the ball and causing coordination errors with his teammates.
Faced with Zhou Wei's impulsiveness in the game, as the team's goalkeeper coach, when faced with Zhang Sheng's questions, Taffarel had another way of saying: "Although stability is the most important thing for a goalkeeper, so is passion.
Indispensable. Zhou Wei is only an 18-year-old kid now. If he doesn't show his passionate side now, it would be too abnormal. Our current problem is how to convert his passion into his game ability.
Rather than impulse during the game. Of course, this is also my responsibility as a goalkeeper coach."
Faced with Zhou Wei's impulsiveness in the game, Taffarel gave his own training method. He began to train Zhou Wei's irregular ball saves extensively. He used the irregular ball equipment purchased by the club to run irregular balls.
The ball is used to train Zhou Wei's reaction ability; and then a lot of bounce shots are used to let Zhou Wei judge the ball's ejection route; and when Zhou Wei is facing one direction, he shoots at him from another direction.
At the same time, Taffarel also taught Zhou Wei some ways to regulate his emotions during the game, which is to shout more and yell more on the court. When his teammates make defensive mistakes, he should remind his teammates more and don't worry about being a young player.
After many young goalkeepers take the field, they always lack confidence because they are young players and do not dare to shout out to the defensive brothers in front of them. As a result, many times they can only suppress the mistakes of their teammates and put themselves in danger.
In my heart, I want to express this anger at other times, which will lead to some impulsive attacks.
Of course, when calling your teammates, don’t forget to applaud them more. When your teammates perform wonderfully, you must give them praise. Otherwise, if you only blame but not praise, you will have a lot of trouble with your teammates.
contradiction.
Taffarel explained Zhang Sheng very clearly: "Zhou Wei is a very passionate player. Facing such a player, we must not suppress his nature. When on the court, we must give him a channel to vent, so
We have to help him choose a channel to prevent him from venting his emotions where he shouldn't. But I would like to make a suggestion, that is, can the distance between the defense and Zhou Wei be a little further away."
Zhang Sheng was a little puzzled: "Stay further away? Now Zhou Wei has made so many mistakes. If the back line is further away from him, it will make it difficult for the back line players to help him."
Taffarel shook his head and said: "Now Zhou Wei and his teammates on the back line don't actually have a good tacit understanding. Being close doesn't help much. Instead, it makes Zhou Wei make more mistakes - grabbing the ball with his teammates.
For such a passionate and confident player, he will be reassured when the ball is in his hands. At the same time, according to Zhou Wei's character, I hope to develop him into a sweeper-type goalkeeper, which is similar to
Goalkeepers like Neuer and Courtois, this is also the general trend of goalkeepers nowadays."
Faced with Tafarel's explanation, Zhang Sheng decided to trust the professional judgment of professionals and let Tafarel decide how to train Zhou Wei.
After completing these two weeks of training, China's traditional festival - the Spring Festival has also arrived, and the team has also given the players a holiday. Several foreign players were also specially invited by Zhang Sheng to have a big meal, and at the same time
He introduced them to the meaning of the Spring Festival. Several foreign players were obviously flattered that Zhang Sheng invited them to dinner during the Spring Festival. The head coach was afraid that he would be lonely during the festival, so he took the time to treat himself to dinner on family reunion days.
, which shows the sincerity of the head coach.
After Zhang Sheng invited several foreign aids, he quickly returned home and had New Year's Eve dinner with his family. This Spring Festival was also the first time that Zhang Sheng had a child. Zhang Sheng's mother specially packed a big bag for her grandson.
Red envelope - a store he owns in the most prosperous pedestrian street in Jiangcheng. Of course, he will have to wait until he grows up to take over this store. Now he can only ask Zhang Sheng and Ye Ting to help him save his annual income.
After three days of vacation, the players of the Longteng team began to gather again, because the team will immediately fly to Lisbon, Portugal for overseas training.
This time, the Longteng team has already contacted five warm-up matches before going to Portugal. They are against the Leipzig Red Bull team, which is about to end the winter break, and the Salzburg Red Bull team, which has just finished the winter break players' vacation. They have already entered the competition period.
The Lisbon Sporting B team, as well as the Porto B team and Ajax second team introduced by Rick Linke, the current Chinese youth echelon manager.
At this time, it can be seen that Zhang Sheng's relationship with the club has expanded over the past few years through his contacts in Europe.
The two Red Bull teams had an intersection with Zhang Sheng before and later cooperated with them, and Sporting Lisbon also had a relationship because of the transfer of players trained by Zhang Sheng. As for Porto B team and Ajax II
The team is based on the good personal relationship between Zhang Sheng and Rick Link, and this kind of warm-up match is far more effective than a warm-up match with a random team that you meet at the training location.
This time the Longteng team arrived in Lisbon and checked directly into a hotel near Sporting Lisbon's training base. Sporting Lisbon's training base is located at the Alcocheti base 40 kilometers away from Lisbon. This is also the youth training base of Sporting Lisbon. For those who can be here
Zhang Sheng was very happy during the training camp. While playing warm-up matches with many teams, Zhang Sheng also had time to take a peek at Sporting Lisbon's own youth training methods. (To be continued.)
