31. Preparations for the opener

It should be said that the bonus and reward regulations issued by the club made the players very happy. Most of the players in the Longteng team have average family conditions, and many families are simply burdened with foreign debts. Not to mention the rewards for the team after this promotion, everyone is successful. The new contracts signed have relieved a lot of pressure on many players. Now coupled with good winning bonuses, as long as everyone performs well, it is foreseeable that in a few years, basically their families will be turned upside down. change.

In fact, this was one of Zhang Sheng's original intentions when he started this club. It is only natural that capable players receive the treatment they deserve.

On the second day after returning to Jiangcheng, Zhang Sheng once again organized the entire team to watch the Europa League game on February 28. This game was Red Bull Salzburg facing the visiting Ajax at home. .Salzburg, who returned home, played more proactively, while Ajax retreated and played defensively.

Even so, Ajax could not hold on. At the end of the first half, Ajax, who had been defending for a long time, was still scored by Red Bull Salzburg. The goal came from Qin Minghao in the midfield. A long-range shot, which was also Qin Minghao’s second Europa League goal for the team after joining the Red Bulls.

The Red Bulls, who broke the deadlock, performed more relaxedly in the second half. Qin Minghao used his active running and organization in the midfield to make the opponent tired of defending. In the 66th minute of the second half, Qin Minghao's cooperation on the left allowed Alan Assisted Mane to rewrite the score to 2:o. In the 77th minute, Qin Minghao's running separated the other two defenders, allowing Soriano to expand the score to 3:o.

After that, Salzburg began to make a large number of substitutions. Three of the four players in the frontcourt were replaced. Only then did Ajax have the ability to attack. However, Li Yun's command in the defense made Ajax unable to attack at all. There was no chance. In the end, the Red Bulls beat Ajax 3:0 at home and away to advance to the 1/8 finals of the Europa League.

After watching this game, the players of the Longteng team were astonished by the European team's high-position pressing, quick passing, game pace, and level of confrontation. Everyone was secretly thinking: If we were to go to such a game by ourselves, how would our performance be? How about it?

Zhang Sheng also said: "This is just a Europa League match. If it is a strong dialogue between the five major leagues, if it is a Champions League match, it will make you even more amazed. Everyone has also played against the Red Bulls in the warm-up match. , everyone knows the future goal, right?"

A few days before the start of the league, the Longteng team also temporarily weakened the intensity of training, allowing the players to have a week of relaxation period after more than two months of hard training. The coaches as the coaching staff began to work intensively. The Longteng team is preparing for its first game. As a newly promoted team this season, the Longteng team has a very difficult schedule. At the beginning of the league, the Longteng team will usher in two consecutive away games, and the opponent for the first game is still last year. The Chinese champion Guangzhou Evergrande was a huge blow to the Longteng team, which was trying hard to get a good start.

In addition, the Chinese Football Association has also scheduled the opening ceremony of the new season's league to be held at Guangzhou Tianhe Sports Center. This also means that the home game between Guangzhou Evergrande and Longteng will be the opening game of the new season.

In order to successfully hold the 25-minute opening ceremony, Evergrande brought in its own football school students, its own music company, and its own song and dance troupe to perform. At that time, CCTV Sports Channel will also broadcast the opening ceremony and unveiling live.

war.

It can be said that for this opening ceremony, Guangzhou Evergrande made it very grand. It can be imagined that all the senior executives of Evergrande Group and the leaders of Evergrande Club will never allow this game to fail. Otherwise, Guangzhou Evergrande’s

Not only will they lose face, but they will also give a big advertisement to their bitter owner, the Longteng team. This is a result that Guangzhou Evergrande never wants to see.

It should be said that the growing domestic football market means that Evergrande will never be perfunctory. For the upcoming 2014 Mid-League League, as the founding company of the league, Evergrande has signed 5 large orders, including China Ping An

, Huiyuan, dhL, Shell, and Changan Ford, the single-season revenue of China Company is as high as 350 million yuan. Among the five sponsors this year, China Ping An will pay China Company an annual naming fee of 150 million yuan, which is higher than the previous Wanda Plaza.

The naming fee has more than doubled. It can be seen that the domestic football market has begun to explode. Any club that is interested in football and wants to obtain various benefits from it will not give up this gold mine that has just begun to be discovered.

According to the news from the team's new leader Yu Jie from his friends in Guangzhou, Lippi, the veteran coach who just signed a contract with Guangzhou Evergrande on February 28, has received a fatal order from Evergrande Group Chairman Xu Jiaying: "We must win

This game." And the winning prize for this game is not based on the 1oo stipulated by Evergrande Group before the season, but a 3oo winning prize, so that the team must win the Longteng team.

A team that has repeatedly embarrassed itself.

Zhang Sheng couldn't help but shake his head when he heard the news. He said meaningfully to Yu Jie who brought the news: "Lao Yu, it seems that Evergrande is planning to sacrifice our flag."

Yu Jie sneered and said: "Hengda is a good calculator. In such a grand atmosphere, Evergrande's players must be working very hard. They just use this home field advantage to defeat our team, which is a thorn in their side."

Clean up."

Zhang Sheng smiled and said: "It will be difficult to predict the game then. Do you really think that our Dragon Team is a soft persimmon that can be manipulated casually? Be careful if we disrupt this feast, then we will really lose.

Madam has lost her troops again."

Because Zhang Sheng knows that this season of Evergrande in history is the most difficult season of all the seasons that Zhang Sheng knows. After the Evergrande team let go of their core midfielder Kongka at the end of last season, the team’s new

The imported Italian international "Diamond" Diamanti did not perform at a corresponding level. Compared with the 6.9 million euro transfer fee paid by the Evergrande team, Diamanti did not give a corresponding performance.

Diamanti's arrival, aside from the unfounded rumors that Lippi's son, Jr., is receiving kickbacks from Lippi's team, is actually related to Lippi's preparation to upgrade Guangzhou Evergrande's tactics.

.

In Asian football, the best foreign players are often those players with strong personal abilities from Africa and South America. There have been many examples to prove this, such as the previous transfer of Al Ain team to Shanghai SIPG's Ji'an, and the example of Evergrande team.

With Muriqi, they are better able to adapt to the characteristics of Asian football. To put it bluntly, the awareness of teammates may not keep up with their own, and many times they have to solve problems alone.

Taking into account the performance in the second half of 2o12 and 2o13, Evergrande's most prominent foreign player in the Asian arena is actually Muric, but the worst foreign player in the Club World Cup against Bayern was also Muric. Ji'an also failed in Europe.

No matter how famous he is, of course his strength must be at the Asian level. European foreign players are used to fighting together as a whole when the situation is dominant, and they need the awareness of their teammates to keep up.

Therefore, Evergrande introduced two Italian players, Diamanti and later Girardiro, in order to achieve Lippi's goal of transforming the team into a European style of overall play. Because in last year's AFC Champions League, Evergrande became more and more

In the later stage, it became closer to the "seven people carrying the piano and three foreign players playing the piano" style of play. This style of play worked well in Asia, but in the finals, it was actually choked to death by Er FC. If you want to defend the AFC Champions League, just

Upgrading personnel is definitely not enough, there must be improvement in playing style. So Lippi tried to introduce European players to stimulate domestic players to cooperate with them, so that the entire team's playing style will be more three-dimensional and less dependent on personal ability.

It's a pity that Lippi overestimated Diamanti's ability and also overestimated the ability of Evergrande's domestic players.

When Diamanti first came to China, everyone regarded him as an enhanced version of Conca, and some people called him a weakened version of Totti.

The reason why people call Diamanti the enhanced version of Conca is because Diamanti and Conca have too many things in common. Both were born in 1983, their birthdays are only 9 days apart, and they both attack in the frontcourt.

Player. Conca is a classic attacking midfielder, and Diamanti can play all positions in the midfield and front. He is a typical "Nine and a half" player. As a midfield organizer, Diamanti can provide excellent assists and kick the ball.

As a shadow forward, he can often outflank and grab points to score goals. From this point of view, Diamanti may be more comprehensive than Conca. In terms of small-scale passing skills, the smaller Argentine may be better than Diamanti, but

The characteristics of a "number nine and a half" player make Diamanti better at partnering with powerful centers. Moreover, Diamanti's skills are not bad. After Seedorf took over Milan, he named Diamanti to sign him.

The Milan coach declared that Diamanti is a suitable candidate for the technical style of play.

At the same time, both Diamanti and Conca have outstanding free kick skills. The free kick taken by Diamanti in the midfield is fast, with strong rotation, large arc and tricky angle. In Serie A, Diamanti has passed

Free kicks have scored against strong teams such as Inter Milan and Roma. In the Confederations Cup, Diamanti also scored against Uruguay with free kicks. In this regard, the two are indistinguishable.

Long-range shooting is an important weapon in the arsenal of a midfielder and frontcourt organizer. Diamanti, like Conca, has high attainments in long-range shooting. Diamanti has outstanding explosive power and stronger offensive power.

Able to complete difficult long-range goals in a variety of situations. The area on the right side of the opponent's half, close to the opponent's goal, is the area where Diamanti most often completes long-range goals. In this position, he completes most of the goals.

The long-range shot scored. Diamanti, who has outstanding explosive power, has a tricky long-range shot angle, fast ball, powerful and heavy force, which often scares the goalkeeper.

When it comes to penalty kicks, both Diamanti and Conca have extremely stable psychological qualities. Diamanti is Bologna's top penalty kicker, and the "King of Celestial Bodies" was Evergrande's top penalty kick candidate. In the Italian country

Diamanti was also an important choice for the penalty shootout. In the 2o12 European Cup, Italy and England met in the quarter-finals. The two teams finally reached the penalty shootout, and Diamanti was the last one to appear.

The penalty kick was scored to help the Azzurri defeat England and advance. (To be continued.)
