Before the game started, Qin Minghao and Li Yun even made a special trip to the Longteng team's bench to hug Zhang Sheng. Li Yun said with a smile: "Boss, we will not let anything go in this game.Ω"
Zhang Sheng smiled and said: "You have strong wings. You came here to demonstrate to me. Don't you know the strength of the Dragon Team?"
Although Zhang Sheng said this, it was only when he got on the court that Zhang Sheng realized what a team with Champions League strength could look like.
Only 3 minutes into the game, Red Bull Salzburg took advantage of Qin Minghao and Mane's steal in the frontcourt to steal the ball from Zhang Hao's feet. After grabbing the ball, Qin Minghao did not stop the ball and directly overhead the ball. Alan
He knowingly penetrated from the front of the penalty area into the penalty area and completed the shot. Fortunately, Zhou Wei performed very well and firmly caught the ball with a side dive.
After Zhou Wei finally passed the ball to Ma Yongli, Salzburg players began to attack again. Whether it was in the Chinese League One or the Football Association Cup, Ma Yongli was proud of his foot skills.
He serves as the guarantee for the defense line to pass the ball, but when facing the pressing of Salzburg players, he felt like he didn't know where to pass the ball. Zhang Sheng, who was standing on the sidelines, had to pass the ball only 5 minutes into the game.
He got up and came to the sidelines and asked the players to run more to respond.
In the end, it was Kante who came over from the midfield to take over. In this game, Zhang Sheng placed Zhang Hao in the main midfielder position and asked him to sweep up interceptions in the midfield, but he also ignored his weakness-the ability to get and play the ball.
It is relatively weak. When the team is suppressed in the backcourt, Zhang Hao only has the ability to fight with the opponent's players. He cannot help the team pass the ball forward, so in the end the only ones who can come over are those who can hold the ball under their feet.
Kanter has strong ball protection ability.
Zhang Sheng had to make a gesture to the court, asking Zhang Hao to be the defensive midfielder and Kanter to be responsible for connecting with the back line.
It should be said that Zhang Sheng's move was of great help to the team. With Kanter's connection, the Longteng team finally stopped being unable to get the ball past its own half.
However, Salzburg soon found another weakness of the Longteng team, that is, after Kanter put more energy into the midfield, the protection of the back line was a bit insufficient.
In the 28th minute of the first half, when Kanter took the ball from the backcourt and moved forward to seek cooperation with Yu Bo, Kanpur teamed up with the midfielder to steal the ball. After stealing the ball, Kanpur launched a quick attack on the spot.
He passed Yu Bo with a very deft change of direction, and then handed the ball to Qin Minghao. Qin Minghao immediately played a one-two with Alan and passed Zhang Hao who came over to press. Qin Minghao then passed the ball to Alan.
The ball was handed to Mane on the left. Mane used his body and speed to beat Shu Jun into the penalty area, and then started to hit the goal. Zhou Wei performed very bravely and saved the goal that was bound to be scored.
, but unfortunately Soriano's supplementary shot left Zhou Wei, who had fallen to the ground, helpless. Red Bull Salzburg took the lead 1:o.
Facing such a team with both coordination and strong personal ability, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but shake his head: "It seems that I still think of such a strong team too simply. I think about both defense and offense. Sure enough, it still has strength."
It's not enough." The goal conceded this time was caused by Kante's attack into the frontcourt, and the ball was snatched by the opponent's defense during a fast break. Mahrez and Yu Bo are used to playing strong balls and both like to rush forward.
It's very deep. Once the ball is lost, there will be a large gap behind him for the opponent to counterattack. In the final analysis, it is because he does not have a player with strong ball production ability in the midfielder position. Zhang Hao needs to practice his foot skills more.
Otherwise, Kanter would have to be responsible for both the contact with the back line and the passing and receiving with the forward line, and he would be too busy by himself.
In fact, if a weak team is playing against a strong team, the team must play a quick defensive counterattack while holding on to the defense, or use the high points in the frontcourt to gain possession of the ball for players who come in quickly to complete the game.
Attack. Under Zhang Sheng's tactical thinking, the current Longteng team has always focused on fighting for the midfield, so once the midfield is suppressed, it will be penetrated. Zhang Sheng feels that he
It is necessary to devise another set of tactics when being suppressed by a strong team.
Zhang Sheng also thought about the general idea, which is to use fast passes in the backcourt to defend, because using Tiki-taka tactics to defend is now a very mature tactic. Barcelona often uses non-stop fast passes
Press and defend the opponent in the frontcourt. But there is a problem here that Zhang Hao may not be suitable for such defensive tactics yet, because his passing and receiving ability may be effective against teams in the Chinese League.
AFC Champions League opponents may make mistakes when the opponent presses from a high position. When Zhang Hao can pass the ball quickly and accurately even under close press, he will have the opportunity to compete against strong teams.
After Zhang Sheng was stuck, he replaced Zhang Hao with Lin Feng. After Lin Feng came on, the situation of the Longteng team immediately improved a lot. This player with strong passing, receiving and running ability and good positional sense immediately relieved Kanter from his busy work.
Freed from the middle, Kanter has more time to concentrate on sweeping and intercepting the midfield. After releasing Kanter's ability, the Longteng team's midfielder also has the ability to compete with Salzburg. The ball can
Lin Feng moved forward more to Pato's feet.
At this time, Pato showed his ability. Lin Feng and Ivo took turns passing straight passes to Pato. Pato used his speed to attack the Red Bulls' defense again and again, and finally in the first half
At the end of the game, Pato once again received a through ball and used his speed to break into the penalty area and shoot, leveling the score at 1:1.
During the halftime break, Zhang Sheng first praised Zhou Wei, because in this game Zhou Wei showed his crazy personality and saved the opponent's very threatening shots many times, and now the back line is a certain distance away from him.
, who likes to attack, he has more space for movement, and does not have to compete with the back line for space and ball rights. At the same time, this tactic also allows Long Teng's defense to move forward as a whole, which is why the Long Teng team is suppressed.
It's very powerful, but there are still several opportunities to counterattack, because the Dragon Team's overall formation is relatively forward, allowing counterattacks to be carried out, and it still has a certain threat.
At the same time, Lin Feng was praised by Zhang Sheng. After about a month of adaptation and the senior player growth charm given by Zhang Sheng, Lin Feng slowly began to adapt to the position of the midfielder. In this half of the game, Lin Feng was in the midfield.
The connection of the road and the forward passing play a big role.
After the start of the second half, the Longteng team began to make a large number of substitutions, but Lin Feng and Zhou Wei were never replaced. Zhang Sheng wanted to let the two of them accumulate more game experience.
After the substitutions started in the second half, the Longteng team's strength on the field dropped significantly. Except for a few players, most of the players who came on the bench did not have much game experience, and their own abilities were not small compared with the main players.
On the other hand, Red Bull Salzburg’s substitute players are not weak. Many players are players of various national teams. Even some of the little monsters they have trained are players of various national youth teams.
Therefore, in the last 30 minutes of the second half, the Longteng team began to encounter dangers one after another, and Salzburg scored four goals in a row. If it were not for Zhou Wei's outstanding performance, the Longteng team would definitely have conceded more than this, and it is very likely that the Longteng team would go straight to the goal.
Two digits left. The Longteng team only scored a header from Wenkai in the penalty area at the end of the game. In the end, the game ended with Salzburg's 5:2 victory.
Faced with this score, Zhang Sheng was very calm. This was just a warm-up match. Salzburg's players had just returned from vacation, and in the warm-up match, the players would not fight 100% of the time. If
With both sides using all their main players, a real match would probably result in a score of 4:0 or 5:0. The current score is already quite impressive.
After the game, Zhang Sheng was relieved that Li Yun and Qin Minghao had established themselves in Salzburg. Their performance in the first half was far better than that of the Longteng team, and their performance
The appearance also showed that the two of them are already the main players in the eyes of the head coach. It seems that playing games with high-level players will indeed be of great help to the growth of young players.
In the evening, Li Yun, Qin Minghao and Xu Mingyu hosted a banquet for all the players of the Longteng team. The players in the team were very envious of the trio who studied abroad and kept asking them questions about studying abroad and playing football.
The three of them knew everything about the problem. However, in Zhang Sheng's eyes, the only players on the team now are Ding Huaiyi who has the ability to study abroad after he has fully matured in two or three years. The other players
It will take more time or simply don’t have the ability.
After this game, the Longteng team will rest for two days to summarize the problems that occurred in these games.
The first thing is the goalkeeper. Zhou Wei performed well in the last game, but the previous games were very average. It can be seen that his stability is not good enough and needs more improvement. Moreover, the goalkeeper tactics designed by the team now
Zhou Wei needs to have very good footwork. According to the requirements of the goalkeeper coach of the German national team: "The goalkeepers of the German national team must at least have the footwork and footwork skills of a Bundesliga second-division midfielder."
It can be seen that this tactic requires the goalkeeper's footwork. Zhang Sheng does not need Zhou Wei to reach the level of the German national team goalkeeper, but at least he must have the footwork skills of a Chinese midfielder.
The second problem is the problem of the midfielder. Now it seems that Zhang Hao's passing and receiving ability is not enough for him to play in the AFC Champions League, and he can only play against ordinary teams.
The third problem is Pato's problem. Now Pato is a bit outside the tactical system. He basically plays in the frontcourt waiting for the ball, which is incompatible with the Longteng team's tactics.
The fourth is that the results of Lin Feng's transformation have not yet been particularly apparent. Like Zhou Wei, his performance in the game is good and bad. It seems that more time is needed to adapt to this problem.
Finally, the team’s current substitute players are indeed lacking in strength. (To be continued.)
