But then, the young players of the Longteng team paid the price for their youth. In the 75th minute, Wei Zhimin made a clearance not far from the goal, allowing Dalian Albin's foreign aid forward Ben Beng to steal in the middle and dribble to the left continuously before volleying with his left foot.
Scored, Dalian Albin got one point back. Ω qu ge
After a goal was pulled back, the young players of the Longteng team were a little anxious and wanted to open up the score quickly. Zhang Sheng's instructions for them to attack before the game also made them a little impatient. On the contrary, Dalian Albin was substituted.
After replacing Iraqi foreign aid Ikram with Sun Bo, his offensive performance became smoother.
In the 80th minute, it was Sun Bo who headed the ball in the midfield. Bruno quickly stepped in and scored with his left foot from 9 meters in front of the goal. Dalian Albin equalized the score in just 5 minutes.
Regarding this conceding goal, Zhang Sheng could only shake his head. The players are still young, but having such lessons to guide them is more effective than training for a week. Zhang Sheng shouted loudly from the sidelines: "Stay steady and pass more passes."
Control!" After saying that, he pressed his hands down to tell everyone to calm down.
After receiving Zhang Sheng's instructions, the Longteng players were finally willing to slowly cooperate in passing and passing in the midfield. Then Zhang Sheng replaced Ding Huaiyi, who was almost exhausted, and replaced him with another 19-year-old
Young player Xiong Jian, as a player who can play on the right wing or in the middle of the midfield, is a good addition to the team's bench.
After the Longteng team gradually took the initiative, Dalian Albin began to retreat across the board. It seemed that they were very satisfied with getting one point. In the end, the game ended with a score of 2:2. After three rounds
The Longteng team only achieved two draws and one loss, which was a rare win.
After the game, Zhang Sheng did not criticize the players. After all, this game was not a normal game. The large number of substitutes itself greatly reduced the team's strength. These players were very lacking in game experience.
Scoring 2 goals in the lead already shows that they have good abilities, the only difference is their experience.
Zhang Sheng said to the players in a friendly manner: "This is a formal game, this is professional football. A few minutes of distraction and a few minutes of panic on the field will result in a loss of the ball. I have always conveyed a philosophy to the team.
, that is, I allow you to make mistakes, but I will not allow you to make the same mistakes all the time. You have seen the consequences of your mistakes, and I think you should sum up this experience and prepare for playing in the future. I said it before the season.
, We will have a lot of games this season. AFC Champions League, League, FA Cup, national teams at all levels, you guys here will have a lot of game opportunities, it’s up to you how to seize them."
Faced with Zhang Sheng's encouraging criticism, the players cheered up. This is also the advantage of young people. Everyone is more motivated than other players.
When Zhang Sheng was reducing pressure on the players on the team, there was indeed a lot of criticism from the outside world.
Because after three rounds of the league, there are a lot of prospects to join the national team, and there are also a lot of national youth team players. Jiangcheng Longteng, a player on the National Olympic team, only got 2 points, ranking third from the bottom. In contrast,
It made great progress in the AFC Champions League, drawing two and winning one in three games, ranking second in the group.
Even the fans laughed and said: "Nah, how difficult is it to play here? We are undefeated in the AFC Champions League and undefeated in the Chinese League. It seems that the level of the Chinese League is too high."
Of course, the criticism of the Longteng team pales in comparison to that of Guangzhou Evergrande. Although the Longteng team looks strong, it is still a newly promoted team after all. A large number of players were poached before the season, and the core players came one after another.
The injury was also considered by the outside world to be excusable for the Longteng team's poor performance.
On the contrary, Guangzhou Evergrande was scolded even more because after the first three rounds of games, Evergrande ranked 7th with one win, one draw and one loss. In the last round of games, it was 1:1 at home.
They were completely defeated by Changchun Yatai with a score of 3. As a team that poached a lot of other teams before the season, and also introduced high-level foreign players like Diamanti, as well as a bunch of national team players in the team, Evergrande actually played like this.
He was immediately criticized by the media.
Fans also began to miss Kongca, the King of Celestial Bodies, and believed that players like Diamanti, who are older and have average abilities, should not be the targets of Guangzhou Evergrande. There are even rumors that Lippi only brought them in for himself.
His son Xiao Lipi was promoting business, and they also received kickbacks.
However, the same as the Longteng team is the strong performance of Guangzhou Evergrande in the AFC Champions League. They are now firmly occupying the group stage with 2 wins and 1 draw and remain unbeaten.
Gwanri defeated the strong Korean team Jeonbuk Hyundai 3:1.
The attentive media and fans once again looked at the records of other Chinese teams in the AFC Champions League and couldn't help but be surprised. Because now in Group E of the AFC Champions League, Shandong Luneng has 3 games, 1 win, 2 draws and 5 points.
With a goal difference, they overcame South Korea's Pohang Steelers to rank first in the group; in Group F of the AFC Champions League, Beijing Guoan beat South Korea's Pohang Steelers with 5 points with one win and two draws.
Er FC of the K-League and Sanfrecce Hiroshima of the J-League, who both have 4 points, are ranked first; even Jiangcheng Longteng, a newly promoted team and a new AFC Champions League team, ranked second and remained undefeated in Group H.
.
So far, the four Chinese teams in the AFC Champions League have performed very well. If this situation continues, it is very likely that the four Chinese teams will join forces to enter the knockout stage.
At the same time, it would be very interesting to compare the mid-rankings of these four teams. Beijing Guoan is indeed playing very well now, ranking first with a record of winning three games; and counting down, until
Guangzhou Evergrande was ranked 7th; Shandong Luneng also had one win, one draw and one loss, ranking 9th due to goal difference; not to mention the Longteng team, which was ranked third from the bottom.
For a time, the level of the Chinese League was comparable to the AFC Champions League, and the Chinese League was praised as the first league in Asia. Faced with such bottomless praise, Zhang Sheng could only shake his head. After all, no matter the overall level, the league operating environment, or the club’s
The software and hardware facilities and the training of young players are far inferior to Japan's J-League and South Korea's K-League.
Zhang Sheng knew that in the history of the next AFC Champions League games, Beijing Guoan was eliminated with two losses and one draw, Shandong Luneng was eliminated with three consecutive losses, and even Guangzhou Evergrande only had one win and two losses and did not play well.
, and was eliminated by the dark horse Western Sydney Wanderers in the quarter-finals.
The temporary good results of several teams did not persist until the end.
But Zhang Sheng doesn't think about it now, because after this game, the team has no AFC Champions League mission. Zhang Sheng gave the players who were tired from fighting continuously two days off to let them rest and relax.
one time.
The players took a break, but Zhang Sheng couldn't take a break because he had to go see Ivo and Shu Jun, two injured players. Ivo was injured in the pre-season A-League Cup, and it was quite serious.
The team doctor gave him more than three months of treatment time, and he is now in his recovery period; Shu Jun, on the other hand, has torn the ligaments in his ankle and is still unable to get out of bed and walk.
When faced with Zhang Sheng's visit, Ivo seemed very comfortable. This man who had been a special forces soldier was very optimistic: "It's okay. Such injuries are inevitable for every professional player. From the day he chose to be a professional player
, I expected that I might be injured, and I will recover well and return to the team."
Zhang Sheng said: "The team is playing very hard without you now. I really hope you can return to the team one day soon. But anyway, your health is the most important thing. I don't want you to be too anxious and get injured again just after you come back."
Now, let's take care of it slowly. When you are completely healed, we will feel more at ease."
After saying goodbye to Ivo, Zhang Sheng found Shu Jun. At this time, Shu Jun seemed very frustrated because this was the second consecutive year that he had been seriously injured. Last season, Shu Jun injured his groin in the World Youth Championship.
, and rested for more than a month. This season has just started, and the ligament is torn again, and I have to rest for more than two months. Such continuous serious injuries are indeed a huge blow to a team.
As the captain of the team, Shu Jun has always taken his responsibilities very seriously. During this period, the team's performance in the league was not satisfactory. He has always been the hardest working one on the court. His injury this time was also related to too much.
It is related to the fact that the body has reached a critical value after fatigue, otherwise a simple sprain will hardly cause ligament tear.
Zhang Sheng could only comfort him and said: "Shu Jun, you are the captain of the team. I don't want our captain to have a sad face all day long, because you are the role model for the players in the team, and your low mood will affect many people."
of teammates.”
When Shu Jun heard what Zhang Sheng said, he forced a smile and said, "Coach, is my body not suitable for playing football? Why do I keep getting injured?"
Zhang Sheng heard what Shu Jun said and said quickly: "Don't think about it. The injury is not your responsibility, but I didn't arrange the players properly. Continuous battles and fatigue are the reasons for your injury. You are the captain
, you run more than others on the court and expend more energy. Didn't you see that I also made a big rotation today? In fact, the physical condition of other players has also reached a critical point. I should let you in during the game.
I take a break every game so you won’t get hurt. All the responsibility is mine."
Then Zhang Sheng patted Shu Jun on the shoulder and said: "Don't think too much, take a good rest, I'm still waiting for you to come back and help me manage the team."
Seeing Zhang Sheng taking the blame, Shu Jun was very moved. He quickly said: "Coach, I will listen to your words and take a good rest."
After communicating with the two wounded men, Zhang Sheng prepared to participate in another matter, which is also a major event of the Longteng Group. (To be continued.)
