After taking advantage of a short day to catch up on the jet lag, the Longteng team began high-intensity training.Ww W.

On the third day after training, the Longteng team ushered in its first warm-up opponent-Leipzig Red Bull. Zhang Sheng paid great attention to this team that was still in the German third league, because although Leipzig is now
The Red Bulls are still in the Bundesliga 3, but the Dragons cannot underestimate this team from the third tier of Germany because most of the players in their team are at the Bundesliga 2 level. Historically, they have also had a smooth season this season.
Promoted to the Bundesliga 2.
The current head coach of Red Bull Leipzig is Rangnick. During the meeting with Zhang Sheng, he was very enthusiastic. After the meeting, Rangnick strongly praised the Longteng team's results last season and expressed his gratitude to the Longteng team for their achievements.
Congratulations to the FA Cup champion. Then he began to praise Qin Minghao and Li Yun for their performance. He said: "They are really two great young men. Schmidt, the head coach of Salzburg, also called me before.
Thanks to me for sending him two strong players."
But when it comes to the game, Leipzig Red Bull has no intention of showing mercy. According to Rangnick's idea, only the strength of the team can make Zhang Sheng feel in awe. In the cooperation between the two parties, the winner is often afraid of the failure.
The party has more say.
The big difference between Leipzig and other German third-division teams is that their style of play does not rely mainly on long passes and physical confrontations, but on delicate passing and receiving in the midfield. There are often pleasing coordination on the scene. But if you think this
You would be wrong if Leipzig's confrontation ability is very weak. Leipzig's layer-by-layer offensive is based on first-class physical confrontation.
So when the players of the Longteng team still played the game with the intensity of confrontation in the Chinese League One or the Football Association Cup, they found themselves passive everywhere.
Ivo, who is responsible for the midfield dispatch, feels very deeply. The Red Bulls have two midfielders on the field, namely Kimmich and Deme. Needless to say, Kimmich. Fans who are familiar with German football know that this
He was loaned to Leipzig from Stuttgart at the beginning of the season, and then he was valued by Guardiola in 2015. He was transferred to the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich for 7 million euros. Later, he performed very well in the central defender position and also represented the German team.
Participated in the 2016 European Cup. This talented player who was only a few days away from turning 19 made Ivo very uncomfortable. Kimmich made Ivo a little overwhelmed both defensively and offensively.
The relatively short stature of another defensive midfielder, Deme (1.7o), does not affect his role as the team's metronome and ball distributor. Even if Ivo wants to conduct an effective counterattack in the frontcourt, it rarely works.
, because his passing and transfer speed are very fast, and he rarely makes mistakes.
In the middle of the midfield, Keizer, as the former main player of Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga, made Kante's defense very difficult.
The biggest gap between the two teams should be in the goalkeeper position. Leipzig's main goalkeeper, Swiss player Cortotti, performed very steadily. As the main goalkeeper of the Swiss national team, the 33-year-old's experience is not comparable to that of Zhou Wei.
The outstanding performance of the Longteng team was the defense of the back line. The combination of McGowan and Ma Yongli effectively restricted Leipzig's forward Danish international Paulsen. Facing this tall player, McGowan was not too afraid of him.
The best performer of the Longteng team is Pato on the forward line. As a former football superstar, Pato's ability is still sufficient, especially when facing a German third-level team, Pato showed super confidence.
The breakthrough attack and ball play in the frontcourt gave Leipzig a huge headache.
Under Zhang Sheng's instructions, the Longteng team began to compete with the Leipzig midfielder. Ivo and Mahrez strengthened their connection with each other, and Zhang Hao began to closely defend Kaizer. Although Yu Bo on the left was young,
However, the players of their opponent Leipzig were still young, and the confrontation between the two sides was very fierce.
It was Leipzig who scored first. In the 31st minute of the first half, Leipzig took advantage of the unskilled cooperation between Kanter and Zhang Hao and scored a goal from their other forward, Boyd, the main forward of the US national team.
However, the Dragons soon retaliated. The triangle attack of Mahrez, Ivo and Pato in the frontcourt was effective. In the end, Pato inserted into the penalty area and successfully fired a shot to equalize the score.
After the second half, both Longteng and Leipzig began to change a large number of players. The substitute abilities of both sides were almost the same. In the end, the two sides tied with a score of 2:2.
After the game, when Zhang Sheng and Rangnick shook hands, Rangnick said: "I won't talk about Pato, your team's Mahrez is really strong."
Of course Zhang Sheng knew the subtext of Rangnick, and then he said: "Yes, my team's offense depends on him." This was a polite rejection of Rangnick's idea.
Next, Rangnick's team returned to Germany, because the winter break of the German Bundesliga 3 was about to pass, and the Longteng team continued to stay for training.
The second opponent of the Dragons is Sporting Lisbon B. In this game, Aurelio Pereira, as the host, made a special trip to watch this game. It should be said that the strength of Sporting Lisbon B is not as good as that of Leipzig.
On the other hand, the Longteng team also had a very difficult time in this game. Two consecutive games in three days took a lot of physical energy out of the players. In this game, Zhang Sheng asked Lin Feng to replace Zhang Hao and let him be responsible for the central defense.
In the field of connection, it should be said that Lin Feng's performance is quite satisfactory. He is accustomed to playing in the right midfield and often leans towards the right side of the field during the game. However, this also has an advantage, that is, his approach makes the Longteng team's right-side attack more efficient.
is sharp, and the center completely relies on Kanter to take charge.
After a major substitution in the second half, the Longteng team lost the game 1:3. The Sporting Lisbon B team, which was already in the league, was better than the Longteng team in terms of physical condition and game status. Xu Mingyu also contributed an assist.
, and the Longteng team relied on Pato's goal to save a little face.
After the game, Pereira took a fancy to Kanter, because Kanter's defensive interception and ball play in the midfield were very good. In the first half, the Dragons were able to tie their opponent 1:1 entirely because of his performance in the midfield.
For his good performance on the field, Pereira admired this young player who was born in the French youth training. Unfortunately, Zhang Sheng had no intention of taking action against Kante.
After the game, Xu Mingyu made a special trip to the Longteng team's training point. While chatting with Zhang Sheng, he also met and reminisced with his former teammates. Seeing that many of his former teammates were no longer in the team, Xu Mingyu was also sighing: "I didn't expect that.
In more than half a year, so many people have left."
Zhang Sheng smiled and said: "Isn't that what professional players are like? If you have an idea, you can leave here. I don't think you will always play in the Portuguese League. Portugal is where you should go.
If you don’t have many opportunities in Sporting Lisbon’s first team, you may still go to play for a mid-table team in Portugal, and you have to be mentally prepared in advance.”
Hearing Zhang Sheng's evaluation of himself, Xu Mingyu said: "I'm still young. I'll try my best to play for a few more seasons. If it doesn't work, I will transfer to another team in Portugal or play in another league."
ball."
Zhang Sheng nodded and said, "Okay, if you work harder, you might have a chance."
After the game, the Longteng team flew to Amsterdam to discuss with the Ajax second team.
Ajax 2 is similar to Sporting Lisbon B. They also play in the second tier of the Netherlands - the Eredivisie 2. However, the Eredivisie 2 does not have a lift system. It is an amateur league under the Eredivisie 2, so the Eredivisie 2 itself
The level is not too high. Facing this opponent, the Longteng team played very well in this game. Pato and Mahrez led the opponent 2:1 in the first half. After the second half, the Longteng team replaced
With a large number of substitutes, especially after Zhang Hao replaced Lin Feng, the Longteng team's attack power on the right was reduced a lot, and the midfielder's tandem became Kante. The team's control of the midfield began to decline, but the intensity of the defense
It started to rise and the final game ended with 2:1.
The Longteng team, which returned to Lisbon, only had two days of rest before facing the strongest opponent in this training camp - Red Bull Salzburg. This is a team that can often play in the Champions League and also often enter the Europa League.
In the knockout stage of the Cup, Red Bull Salzburg in the 2o13-2o14 season was also the strongest in recent years. The coach Roger Schmidt was the head coach of Leverkusen later. At that time, he brought to the team
High-position defense, quick press after losing the ball, and quick offense have made Salzburg Red Bull extremely powerful. Historically, they have scored a league-record 110 goals in 36 rounds of the league, with an average of 110 goals per game.
After scoring 3 goals, they finally won the championship with a huge advantage of 18 points ahead of second place Vienna Fast. This was because they had sent young players in many games and lost a few games after winning n rounds in advance. Otherwise, they had been leading by more than 20 points before.
The Longteng team's defense will face the strong impact of Soriano, who was born in Barcelona, and Alan, who later played in Evergrande. On the left is Mane, who later became Liverpool Club, and on the right is Campur, who later became Bayer Leverkusen. Historically,
These four giants scored a total of 122 goals for Red Bull Salzburg in all competitions in the 2o13-2o14 season! Among them, Soriano scored 48 goals, Alan scored 37 goals, and Mane scored
23 goals, Kanpur scored 14 goals!
In the middle, Qin Minghao is responsible for organizing and dispatching, and in the backcourt, Li Yun is commanding the defense. It can be said that the current Red Bull Salzburg team is at its peak, and the Longteng team will also face the biggest test. (Unfinished)
