After scoring the goal, Shinji Ono ran to the coaching bench crazily, and then asked about another game between Ulsan Hyundai and Kawasaki Frontale. **Vicci also said happily: "Now Kawasaki Frontale leads Ulsan Hyundai 3:1 at home, as long as
If we hold on to this victory, we will qualify. Now everyone will strengthen their defense after taking the field. ΔΩ pen quge”
As the captain of Western Sydney Wanderers, Beaukamp quickly encouraged his teammates: "Come on everyone, there are only the last few minutes. Everyone, work hard, qualifying is just around the corner."
When the referee came to stop their celebration, the game had reached 9o minutes and entered stoppage time.
In stoppage time, **Vic replaced the exhausted Shinji Ono with Juric, and then replaced right back Mullen with Heffernan. The purpose of these two substitutions is very clear. First,
To allow players with more physical fitness to play, the second is to use up the game time.
Seeing the Western Sydney Wanderers retreating across the board, the Dragons no longer want to attack. One is that they are not physically fit enough to support the team in attacking with all their strength. The other is that their opponents have retreated. If the score is based on the current score,
, No matter how the other games go, the Dragons will be ranked first in the group. Therefore, rather than risking the risk of losing the ball and attacking, the Dragons should now choose to defend honestly.
In this case, the stoppage time becomes meaningless. Players from both sides are huddled in their own backcourts, and a player is placed in front to look for offensive opportunities, facing the opponent's defenders and waiting for them.
The offense was nothing more than a double-color ball player trying to use two dollars to find a chance to win the jackpot. In the end, the game ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of the Western Sydney Wanderers.
When Zhang Sheng had to accept the defeat on the sidelines, **Vicci took the initiative to come over and shake hands with Zhang Sheng. He said to Zhang Sheng with a smile on his face: "Congratulations on winning the first place in the group."
Zhang Sheng shook hands with **Vicci very perfunctorily and said: "Congratulations on qualifying."
At this time, the players of the Western Sydney Wanderers were celebrating their "hard-earned" qualification. Many players of the Longteng team sneered at their opponents' celebrations. Obviously, everyone was not optimistic about the future path of this team.
, it’s really hard to say how far a team that relies on the huge advantage of its home court to qualify can go.
Only Zhang Sheng knew that Western Sydney Wanderers had overcome the biggest difficulty. Historically, they had a smooth road to the end. He had thought countless times during the game that he would just fight to win the game, but later he still
I gave up. My team was indeed not strong enough to win the championship in the end, and there was no need to risk everything for this game. I could only hope that this team would be punished in the end.
At the press conference after the game, Zhang Sheng seemed very cold. In addition to answering a few questions seriously to the domestic media reporters, Zhang Sheng's indifference to the Australian media was very obvious.
Because of Zhang Sheng's attitude this time, Zhang Sheng gained the bad impression of "a sore loser" in the Australian media. However, Zhang Sheng scoffed at this and said that he would not have much to do with Australian sports now or in the future.
contact, whatever they say.
**Vicci still couldn't get over the excitement at the press conference after the game. At the meeting, he answered questions from various reporters. When the Chinese reporter asked the referee a question, **Vicchi also
Seemingly cunning: "I never comment on the referee's decisions."
Regarding this game, Australia's comments all praised the Western Sydney Wanderers for their desperate survival, saying that the Western Sydney players worked hard to win. However, the domestic media in China very tactfully mentioned the unfair penalty of the referee.
.
After this game, all the matches in Group H of the 2o14 AFC Champions League group stage are over.
The Western Sydney Wanderers finished second in the group with 3 wins, 3 losses and 9 points. The Longteng team had 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss and the same score of 9 points. However, because the Longteng team was 3:1 at home, Western Sydney
The Rangers were 2:1 at home, and the Dragons ranked first in the group with a goal difference between the two sides. Although Kawasaki Frontale tried its best to defeat Ulsan Hyundai at home, it was indeed better in points.
They defeated Ulsan Hyundai in the competition, but the result was one with 8 points and the other with 7 points. They both fell into the abyss of being eliminated from the group.
Of course, for the games that have passed, Zhang Sheng rarely bothers with external comments except summarizing the problems that occurred in the games. Zhang Sheng is always concerned about the next game.
The next round of the Longteng team will not be easy, because they will challenge Shandong Luneng away from home.
Speaking of Shandong Luneng, as a traditional giant in the top league of Chinese football, most Chinese fans are very familiar with it. They have won four league championships and four FA Cup championships, and have a very wide fan base.
Base.
But since the 2010 season, after the rise of Guangzhou Evergrande, they have never won the league championship again. In the year when Zhang Sheng crossed over, they did not even succeed in relegation until the penultimate round of the league. It can be said that they have been declining step by step.
.
But in the past 2o13 season, their results were still good - they finished second in the league.
Luneng's declining performance has a lot to do with the club's own system. Before the football craze started, teams with state-owned enterprises as investors were relatively stable. Whether it was Shandong Luneng or Beijing Guoan, behind them
All state-owned enterprise groups are able to provide players with a relatively stable environment, while other Chinese teams that are not favored by capital have a relatively difficult time.
But once capital saw that football was profitable, a large number of private companies began to get involved. Clubs with a background of state-owned enterprises were greatly impacted, and Shandong Luneng was one of the representatives.
The unique slow response of state-owned enterprise clubs and the lack of long-term planning of emperors and courtiers are revealed.
While other teams decisively change foreign and domestic players and coaches for the sake of performance, state-owned enterprises are often still in the midst of internal wrangling. Similarly, for the sake of political performance, it is not uncommon for them to completely overturn and start over after changing a leader.
For example, take the coaching change issue of Shandong Luneng.
As the saying goes, once the emperor comes, so does the courtier. This rule also makes sense when applied to Luneng. As early as the end of the 2o11 season, there was news that the then general manager Sun Guoyu might be rotated due to poor performance that year, but in the end the news
It didn't become a fact.
Because of this news, in order to help Luneng achieve good results before being rotated, Sun Guoyu has been trying to change Luneng Taishan through coaching changes. Unfortunately, by the end of the 2o11 season, his wish failed to come true.
In the 2o12 season, Sun Guoyu wanted to continue working hard, so he hired Tenkat again. Unfortunately, he still failed to see a good result. After the end of the 2o12 season, Sun Guoyu was officially transferred to other positions.
After Liu Yu took office, the first big thing he needed to do was to select a coach for Luneng. After a long period of heated speculation, Luneng finally selected Antić. With a big-name coach and a big-name foreign player, Liu Yu
Yu's basic governing ideas, he also did the same. After recruiting Antić, he took advantage of the second signing opportunity to recruit Loew, the biggest foreign aid in China.
After playing hard in the football circle for a season, Liu Yu's thinking has also changed. Even though Antic won the runner-up in the Chinese League for Shandong Luneng in the 2o13 season, Liu Yu still decisively replaced him. The reason
It's very simple, that is, Antiqi is "disobedient".
This is also the reason why Shandong Luneng changed coaches six times in three years.
It should be said that Shandong Luneng's investment in the 2o14 season was not small. Shandong Luneng spent 202 million yuan (22.1 million euros) to build a luxury team. It ranked fourth in the world during the winter transfer period that year and became the biggest favorite to win the championship in the 2o14 season.
.
In terms of foreign aid, Shandong Luneng spent 6.1 million euros to introduce Moscow Central Sixth Army forward Loew, 5 million euros to introduce Brazilian striker Aloisio from Sao Paulo in Brazil, and 7.5 million euros in transfer fees to introduce Montillo, making him this year's top player.
The new standard winner. Montillo is similar to Conca. They are both Argentinian, but they have proven themselves in the Brazilian League. He has won the Silver Ball Award of the Brazilian League for two consecutive years and was shortlisted for the best team. Last year, he was selected by Argentina.
He was called up by the national team, so he is known as Messi's substitute.
In terms of domestic aid, Luneng also frequently made big moves. Wang Dalei, who transferred to Shandong Luneng for over 3,000,000 yuan, was also packaged with Dai Lin, who was 15,000 yuan. Then they poached the national team left back Zhou Hai from the Longteng team for 25,000 yuan.
,2ooo introduced Zhang Wenzhao.
But at least judging from the current performance of the players, their performance in Luneng was not very good. In the AFC Champions League show, Aloisio missed a penalty kick. And there was another 2:4 home defeat to South Korea K
League team Pohang Steelers suffered such a tragedy.
The only good thing is that in the Chinese League, they are ranked second with 16 points. Although they have the same points as Guangzhou Evergrande, they are not as good as Guangzhou Evergrande in terms of goal difference.
This game is also a battle between the teams currently ranked sixth in China and the team ranked second in China. This is also the most eye-catching game in the league in this round, far more than the Shanghai Greenland and Shanghai Greenland who are still in the recovery period.
The Shanghai Derby against Shanghai SIPG, which has just begun to emerge, is more important.
However, before this game, Zhang Sheng has one more game to focus on, and that is the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals on April 25. Red Bull Salzburg will face Seve at home.
Leah.
Although Zhang Sheng knew that Red Bull Salzburg had very little hope of winning this game, he still held on to a glimmer of hope and wanted to see Red Bull Salzburg lead the team to a miracle under Li Yun's defense.
Due to Qin Minghao's injury in this game, he could only cheer for the team in the stands. At the same time, as many as three of Salzburg Red Bull's main defensive teammates were unable to play. The team struggled both offensively and defensively.
The impact is not small.
After the game started, the performance of the Red Bulls gave Zhang Sheng hope. La Liga teams that are accustomed to being away from home also performed very poorly, and Sevilla did not have the dominance they had in the Europa League in the following years. Li
Although two of the defense lines led by Yun were substitutes, under his command, the team's defensive performance was still very good and did not give Sevilla many opportunities. In terms of offense, Soriano was very good in the first half.
Scored a goal in the 35th minute, taking the lead to 1:o.
But in the second half, the experienced Sevilla took advantage of the mistake of the Red Bull Salzburg substitute defender to get a penalty kick and tied the score to 1:1. After that, Sevilla, who retreated across the board, maintained the score until the end.
Finish.
Seeing this score, Zhang Sheng knew that the Red Bulls, who had not won Sevilla at home, had a very small chance of advancing to the finals. However, Zhang Sheng was still very satisfied with Li Yun's performance. Now he is gradually getting better.
He has become a general.
Domestically, Longteng and Shandong Luneng have attracted more attention, and the head coaches of both teams have become targets of media pursuit.
Shandong Luneng head coach Kuka, who had just been eliminated from the bottom of the AFC Champions League group stage, praised the Longteng team in an interview with the media: "The Longteng team is a very strong team, and they have a top player like Pato.
Superstar, Pato consulted me about the situation of the Dragons before this season. At that time, I was surprised that he joined such a team. But now it seems that his choice is very correct. There is a Dragon in it.
The overall level of such a team is very good, as evidenced by their ability to qualify from the AFC Champions League with first place in the group. I know that we have a former Longteng player like Zhou Hai in our team, and his performance is outstanding.
It’s very good. Of course, I also learned a lot about the Dragon Team from him. We will take this game very seriously.”
In an interview, Zhang Sheng also poured ** on Shandong Luneng: "Luneng is one of the top teams in China. Their players are strong and their head coach is also a world-famous coach. And what I envy most is Luneng's youth.
Training, they have trained a lot of very good young players.”
When a reporter asked Zhang Sheng how he saw Luneng's AFC Champions League results, Zhang Sheng said modestly: "When we qualified from the AFC Champions League group, it was because we were a new team and many opponents did not understand us. And Luneng has always been
Regular players in the AFC Champions League, this year's difficulties are only temporary, and I believe they will perform well in the future. After all, their points in the Chinese League are the same as Evergrande's, and this is the reflection of their true strength."
At the same time, CCTV also attaches great importance to this game. The commentators are Duan Xuan and Zhou Ning of CCTV. As one of the pillars of CCTV Sports Channel, Duan Xuan has always commented on the games of championship teams like Evergrande. This time it is arranged
He came to commentate and he took this game very seriously. (To be continued.)
