46. ??First defeat in the league

Sure enough, Murphy's Law came into effect. Although the Longteng team threatened Yatai's goal countless times in the following games, Yatai's defense used various methods to destroy the offense. At the same time, Yatai's home team

The goal post and door frame blocked at least 4 goals. At the last moment, even McGowan, who rarely came forward to attack, went to the penalty area to fight for a header, but Yatai team goalkeeper Song Zhenyu kept the goal.

When the referee blew the final whistle of the game, the score of the game was fixed at 1:o.

Shao Shengyi also said: "The Yatai team won a victory. Although it was a fluke victory, the 3 points gained were real. At the same time, the Longteng team also won their league defeat. From the Longteng team's construction

Since the beginning of the team, from the initial amateur league to the second league and first league, in all these league games, the Longteng team has never suffered a defeat. This game is the first league defeat since the establishment of their club.

From this we can see the strength of the Longteng team. However, this failure was not a failure on the players, nor was it a failure on tactics. It was completely caused by a bad venue and bad luck. If the Longteng team is also due to the poor venue in the future,

If you pass but fail, it only means that our Chinese League is not a qualified league."

In the locker room after the game, Zhang Sheng did not blame any player. He said: "You are not to blame for this failure. You are just victims of the general environment of the Chinese League. With this lesson, we will treat the league

I am more prepared.”

At the press conference after the game, Zhang Sheng opened his mouth with criticism: "I feel ashamed for participating in this game; as a Chinese footballer, I also feel ashamed. I didn't know that such a completely substandard venue

How did the conditions pass the Football Association's inspection before the game? If such a football stadium can also be used as the home court of the Chinese team, then I can only say that Chinese football will never succeed. This is the tragedy of the Chinese club and the Chinese Football Association.

It is a tragedy, and even more a tragedy for Chinese football. If our league defeat can remind some irresponsible people in the Football Association, then I am willing to do so. I am afraid that there will be a living example in front of me. I am responsible for these people.

The person doing the inspection pretended not to see it, or they just tried to deal with it for a while and then relapsed."

After taking a breath, Zhang Sheng continued: "I am proud of my players for being able to finish the game in such an environment."

Zhang Sheng’s words stunned the reporters sitting below. They had never thought that Zhang Sheng would have such a bad temper. However, thinking about it, the captain of the Longteng team was directly injured and got off the field because of the bad playing field. The team lost again.

, Zhang Sheng’s anger also had a reason.

One of the reporters asked: "Coach Zhang Sheng, do you think the biggest reason for the failure of this game is the Football Association?"

Zhang Sheng said directly without thinking: "Yes, our failure in this game is the Football Association. We will lodge a complaint with them, because the game in such an unqualified venue cannot be counted."

Next, Zhang Sheng answered a few questions perfunctorily and hurriedly left the press conference, leaving a bunch of reporters thinking about how to make the news waiting for the meeting more shocking.

When Sablic of the Yatai team was interviewed, he seemed a little disapproving of Zhang Sheng's bombardment: "Both of our teams are playing on this court, and everyone's conditions are the same. The court is not a failure.

The reason is that we played better and our ability to seize opportunities was stronger, so we won."

Faced with Sablic's answer, the reporters who came down thought inwardly. Yatai only shot twice in the whole game, and only hit the goal frame once, and it was this shot that they scored. And Jiangcheng

Long Teng had 15 shots in the game and 7 shots on target. This did not include 2 goalposts and 2 goalposts, but they did not score a single goal.

As for the ball possession rate on the court, the Longteng team was as high as 63%, and Yatai only had 37%. It can be said that the Longteng team suppressed the opponent throughout the game. The Longteng team did not receive a single yellow card, while Changchun Yatai received 4 yellow cards.

, this was still at Yatai’s home court, and the referee blew many home whistles in a biased manner.

For Sablić to say that his performance is better is completely nonsense.

After the game, various news media reported on Zhang Sheng's attack on the Football Association, and all the media attacked the Football Association with the same tone, because the garbage on the ground was obvious to all.

Spoiling the Football Association in China can be said to be a form of political correctness. As long as there is any problem with the Football Association, the media will never let it go easily.

Faced with the media onslaught, the Football Association was very passive. On the day after the game, the Football Association quickly issued a written notice to Changchun Yatai. In the notice, the Football Association clearly mentioned that if Yatai loses before the next game

Failure to rectify the venue to meet the requirements of the Football Association will result in disqualification from the home court. At the same time, because of the unqualified venue, Yatai Club was also fined 5 yuan. Zhang Sheng was also punished because of his inappropriate remarks.

was fined 3 yuan. Finally, the Football Association emphasized that starting from the next round of competition, all teams in China will be strictly inspected for venue conditions before the game. If any team has unqualified venues, they will be disqualified from playing home games.

At the same time, he was fined 5-10 yuan.

Faced with such a penalty, many netizens laughed and said that Yatai had made money now, which was equivalent to buying a victory for 5 yuan, which was much more cost-effective than many teams spending millions in winning prizes to win.

Zhang Sheng didn't care at all about the ridicule on the Internet. He only cared about Shu Jun's injury. After the game, the team doctor sent Shu Jun directly to the hospital for examination. It was later determined that he had a ligament injury and needed to rest for at least two months.

Zhang Sheng was very distressed by this result, because the next AFC Champions League game was coming and the team's captain was seriously injured, which had a great impact on the team's morale.

When it comes to Shu Jun's own strength, he is not outstanding in the team. If we look at potential, he is not as good as the current substitute Xiao Yunfan. However, football matches are never simply based on ability index. If we only look at ability index, according to

If you buy a bunch of good players with ability index, you will be invincible.

In addition to Shu Jun's own efforts on the court, his prestige in the team is very high. For example, in the last game, when the team fell behind, it was Shu Jun who comforted his teammates before giving up the ball.

The team has temporarily stabilized its position, otherwise with the confidence of these young people, it is very likely that their mentality will be unbalanced.

Now when they are about to face a strong enemy, Shu Jun, as the captain, is suddenly injured, which makes the players a little overwhelmed, because everyone is used to seeing Shu Jun's various encouragements and comforts to them on the court.

So when the Longteng flew directly from Changchun to Ulsan, South Korea to adjust the K-League hegemon Ulsan Hyundai, not only the domestic media were pessimistic, but even the Korean media was not optimistic about the prospects of the Longteng. This team has successively lost frontcourts.

After the core and captain, they experienced a new defeat, and their physical condition is not very good. In the current standings, they have one draw, one loss, two goals and one goal, ranking fourth from the bottom.

On the other hand, the Longteng team's opponent Ulsan Hyundai, as the AFC Champions League in the 2o12 season, Ulsan Hyundai made a strong comeback after a year, winning two consecutive games in the first two rounds of the group stage, leading the group. For the game against the Longteng team, the entire Ulsan team

They all set the goal of three points to pave the way for early qualifying. Previously, Ulsan Hyundai participated in the AFC Champions League three times, twice in the same group with the Chinese team, and both times their opponents were Beijing Guoan. In these four games

In the competition, Ulsan Hyundai won the game.

Ulsan's goal this year is to achieve good results on both fronts, so in addition to winning in the AFC Champions League, Ulsan Hyundai also maintained a complete victory in the K-League, scoring 4 goals in two games and not conceding a goal.

And considering the history of matches between the Chinese team and the K-League team, the Chinese team also suffered more defeats than wins, especially in away games, where it was even rarer to see a victory. Previously, the Chinese team had an away game against them in the AFC Champions League.

Korean teams have not won many games against each other. Only Shandong Luneng defeated Seongnam Ilhwa 3-0 in the 2011 season, Tianjin TEDA defeated Jeju United 1-0 in the 2011 season and Guangzhou Evergrande won 5-1 in the 2012 season.

Jeonbuk Hyundai has a total of 7 draws and 17 losses in the other 24 games. From this point of view, you can imagine how difficult it will be for the Longteng team to score points tomorrow.

In fact, until the Chinese team introduced a large number of high-level foreign players, the Chinese team's record against the K-League teams was very average. Even the Chinese hegemon Guangzhou Evergrande did not have a big advantage against the K-League teams, with 4 wins.

3 losses and 5 draws.

Not to mention other teams, among several traditional strong teams, Shandong Luneng has always been the points cash machine for K-League teams. Luneng has played against K-League teams a total of 10 times, with only 2 wins.

2 draws and 6 losses. Beijing Guoan was even more unbearable. It was ridiculed by the Korean media as being automatically sent off. They met K-League teams 13 times in the AFC Champions League and only achieved 1 win, 3 draws and 9 losses. The only victory was

In 2o13, they defeated Pohang Steelers 2-0 at home. Later, Shanghai SIPG, which bought big-name players such as Konka, Elkeson, and Hulk, even played 5:o in an away game against Jeonbuk Hyundai.

, it can be said that he was brutally tortured.

In terms of overall strength, as of the 2o14 season, basically 2-3 K-League teams have reached the quarter-finals every year, and only Guangzhou Evergrande has reached the top 8 in 2o12 and 2o13; since 2o7

In the past 7 years since 2008, the K-League has reached the semi-finals 7 times, and basically there are teams entering every year; in the finals, there have been 5 teams in the K-League in the past 7 years; in the final

In the championship competition, K-League teams have won three times in the past seven years, with a winning rate of 60%, which is very high.

It should be said that the overall strength of the K-League team is far superior. (To be continued.)
