25. Pre-season preparations

After winning this cup, Zhang Sheng's face was full of gloom, because the Chinese league was about to start in half a month, and the most urgent thing was the AFC Champions League. As the FA Cup champion last season

, the Longteng team got the opportunity to directly enter the main match of the AFC Champions League. The team will go to Japan to challenge Kawasaki Frontale in ten days. Now Ivo's injury has forced the Longteng team to rely on Tao Wentao to organize the offense or let Xiong Jian come forward.

Tao Wentao has indeed made great progress since returning from the United States last season. Physically, he is also a blessing in disguise. He is stronger than most domestic players. Technically, he has slowly picked up what he had left behind.

, but after all, he is still young, not even 19 years old, and he has not been back to join the team for training for a long time. It has only been 7 months. His ability is not enough to support the burden of organizing the midfield attack. He still has

Needs more time to grow.

As for Xiong Jian, he can only be used as a lubricant in the midfield. His characteristics are similar to those of Sun Yu before. At most, he plays a defensive and series role, and does not have much ability to pass forward.

We can't even count on him to organize the attack.

The potential of these two players is indeed good, and they have higher potential than all domestic players, but that is still a matter of the future, and we cannot count on them yet.

Zhang Sheng had to adopt a compromise plan - moving Kanter, who was not planning to sign up for the AFC Champions League, to the attacking midfielder position and letting him be a defensive midfielder for a period of time.

The Longteng team suffered a loss in terms of personnel in this game, but it should be said that they made a lot of money. After entering the middle of this season, the Longteng team made adjustments to the team's ticket prices.

During the preparations for the Chinese League this year, many Chinese clubs have announced the ticket prices for this season. The highest ticket price among all clubs is Shanghai Shenhua. Their five-tier ticket prices for loose tickets are: 8o, 1oo,

15o, 2oo, 38o, annual tickets are 5oo, 1ooo; the lowest ticket price is Shandong Luneng, their five-tier ticket prices are: 2o, 4o, 6o, 1oo, 5oo,

The deck is divided into six tiers: 15o, 2oo, 4oo, 6oo, 1ooo, 6ooo. The overlord Guangzhou Evergrande only has three tiers of loose tickets: 6o, 1oo, 15o, and annual tickets: 45o, 6oo, 9oo,

13oo,18oo.

As for other Chinese teams, the minimum individual ticket is generally between 3o-5o, the high-end ticket is between 2oo-3oo, and the annual ticket is generally 3oo-1ooo. However, the teams in the Chinese team have some tacit understanding, so

There will be fluctuations in loose tickets. If the ticket price will fluctuate up to 1oo when playing against a strong team, the ticket price will also be reduced by about 1o-5o when playing against a weak team.

The price of tickets for the AFC Champions League is much higher than that of the Chinese League, and the annual tickets of all Chinese teams do not include tickets for the AFC Champions League. That is to say, if you are a member of the club, you have already purchased it.

For the deck, you also need to spend money to buy AFC Champions League tickets, and the price of the tickets basically starts at 1oo, and the highest-end ticket prices will soar to around 5oo.

From the above data, everyone will generally think that the price of domestic football tickets in China is okay, but according to professional statistical data, it is very expensive in terms of tickets/purchasing power. Several mainstream leagues

Here, the average weekly income of Germans is 523 pounds, while the average price of Bundesliga tickets is 19.17 pounds, so German fans can buy 27.3 tickets with their weekly income. In contrast, Serie A fans’ weekly income is only 19.17 pounds.

Can buy 22 tickets, La Liga can buy 2o tickets, and English fans can only buy 14.3 tickets per week. Obviously, Bundesliga fans’ spending on watching games accounts for the smallest proportion of their income, which is why the Bundesliga can

An important reason for attracting the largest number of fans around the world to watch live.

As for China. According to professional media statistics, the average weekly income of Chinese people is 140 pounds, while the average price of Chinese football tickets is as high as 10 pounds. This means that Chinese fans can only buy 14 tickets per week with their weekly income.

It ranks last among the 34 major leagues around the world, even lower than the English League, which has always been criticized for high ticket prices.

At first, Zhang Sheng also thought about whether he could set up certain discounts for fans in terms of game tickets. Unfortunately, both the group and other senior leaders of the club rejected Zhang Sheng's idea. Judging from the company's statistics, it can be seen that now he can

People who have money to buy tickets to watch football games basically have a certain financial foundation, which means they are not too sensitive to prices - provided you don't make the price too low.

This set of data shows that in China, football is a light luxury now, both from the investment of the players themselves and from the participation of the fans, which is not affordable for the most ordinary people. In Zhang Sheng’s view, this is also an obstacle to the development of Chinese football.

one.

In the end, the price of individual tickets for the Longteng team this season was set at 4o, 6o, 1oo, the deck price was set at 45o, 6oo, 8oo, the tickets for the AFC Champions League group stage were: 8o, 15o, 3oo, and the tickets for the AFC Champions League knockout rounds were:

Prices of 1oo, 2oo, 5oo. This price is considered a moderate price in the whole game, because the price of individual tickets for Jiangcheng Zall, which was relegated to the Chinese League One this season and is in the same city as the Longteng team, is also similar to that of the Longteng team. The Longteng club set this price

The price can also be regarded as a run on Zall - at the same price, it depends on whether the fans choose to win or choose the Chinese League One.

Like this time in the A-League Cup, the Longteng team earned more than 250 yuan from tickets alone. This does not include the club's income from several restaurants and peripheral stores affiliated with the sports center. This is far more than when it was in the Chinese League One.

Small stadiums and extremely low ticket sales are expected to be high.

After the game, Zhang Sheng had to make another adjustment to the team's tactics. Kante was moved to the attacking midfielder position, Lin Feng was placed behind Kante, and behind Lin Feng, it was Zhang Hao and Xiong who were responsible for sweeping.

Jian is used as a substitute to replace Kanter or Zhang Hao.

Faced with the injury to Ivo of the Dragons, the outside media unanimously lowered their goals for the Dragons this season.

Originally, after the Chinese League One ended, especially after the Longteng team won the FA Cup, the outside media were unanimously optimistic about the Longteng team's results this season. Although everyone did not have much expectations for the Longteng team's AFC Champions League results, they were optimistic about the results of the Longteng team in the AFC Champions League.

It is unanimously agreed that the Longteng team will achieve mid-table results next season.

With two international players in the Longteng team, several former National Youth main players, and three top foreign players in the Chinese team, the outside world unanimously believes that the Longteng team will be at least the top six in the Chinese team next season. If the performance is better,

It is also a high probability event that the top four teams in China will get a spot in the AFC Champions League. Everyone agrees that the Longteng team is likely to be the team that changes the pattern of China's big four.

It's a pity that the subsequent big sale of the team's players made the media think that the Longteng team was fighting to avoid relegation. Especially the departure of the main forward Deng Qun made everyone think that the Longteng team made the most disgusting move. As a domestic team in recent years,

It is rare to see a forward who makes a living by shooting. Many people regard him as the natural candidate for the national team forward in the next decade. Giving such a player to the Evergrande team will only make Evergrande even stronger.

The strength of the Dragon Team was a huge loss.

However, the Longteng team soon released their ultimate move. The arrival of Pato finally let everyone know why the Longteng team let Deng Qun go. With Pato’s strength, Deng Qun was indeed unmatched, so many people on the Internet

Fans all said: "We already have Pato, so what else do we need for bicycles?"

In a league like China where one star can raise the team to a higher level, a former superstar like Pato is not just a matter of raising the team to a higher level, he can completely kill them. And this is also

He is the most expensive foreign player in China's history, and the tens of millions of euros in signings have also raised the value of China's foreign players to an incredible height.

But just when everyone agreed that the Longteng team would be another "Evergrande" rich team, Ivo's injury forced everyone to lower their expectations. As the true midfield core of the Longteng team last season,

The three-month injury has completely lowered the team's level. Moreover, Ivo's injury has a far greater impact on the Longteng team's overall tactics than the loss of a good player.

The Longteng team's previous tactics were based on penetration from the middle. Now Ivo's departure has left a huge gap in the most important center of the Longteng team. Moreover, in the eyes of the outside world, the Longteng team currently has no team members.

Those who could replace Ivo, especially those who had been expecting the Dragons to make a breakthrough in the AFC Champions League, were completely disappointed.

Even Zhang Zhijun called and asked: "Does the team need to introduce another strong foreign midfielder? You only used one of the five foreign aid quotas. You can introduce another one who can play first. Money

Don't worry about the problem, the money you invested in the new stadium from the transfer fee can be used first, this is unplanned money in the first place."

Zhang Sheng firmly rejected this approach: "It's not necessary. Kanter already has certain organizational skills, and the team's Lin Feng and Tao Wentao have the potential to play this position. There is no need to do it for

Buying a player when a player is injured is not the way a mature team should play."

Hearing Zhang Sheng's answer, Zhang Zhijun couldn't persuade him any more. He could only say: "You are professional, but you should also be prepared for a rainy day. If it really affects the team's status and performance by then, during the mid-term transfer

Buy more."

Zhang Sheng also agreed with his father's statement: "Let's talk about it then."

Next, Zhang Sheng directly used an advanced tactical shaping charm to add to the current tactics, so that the players can quickly become familiar with this set of tactics. (To be continued.)
