In fact, these few years have also been the strongest years for Sanfrecce Hiroshima. According to the reality that Zhang Sheng knows, Sanfrecce Hiroshima won the J-League championship again in 2o15 after missing the J-League championship in 2o14.
And in 2015, Sanfrecce Hiroshima participated in the Club World Cup as the host league champion. After losing to the South American Copa Libertadores champion River Plate in the semi-finals at 0:1, they reversed the AFC Champions League champion Guangzhou Evergrande 2:1 in the third or fourth place final.

However, Sanfrecce Hiroshima is a strange team even in the J-League. That is, they don’t pay much attention to the AFC Champions League. They even regard the Emperor’s Cup (similar to China’s Football Association Cup) more than the AFC Champions League.
Be important.
Therefore, Hiroshima Sanfrecce, which has the strongest offensive power in the J-League, is often criticized by Japanese fans for being outsiders in foreign games. Looking at their history, you can see that their results are not good when facing Chinese teams.
In the AFC Champions League in the 2o13 season, they were placed in the same group as Beijing Guoan, and Beijing Guoan stepped on their shoulders to qualify; in this year's AFC Champions League, they were placed in the same group as Beijing Guoan.
In the group, although Sanfrecce Hiroshima qualified and Beijing Guoan was eliminated, in the two rounds of matches between the two sides, Beijing Guoan had the advantage with a score of 1:1 at home and 2:2 on the road. If Guoan had not faced
The away results of the other two teams in the same group are really bad, maybe Guoan will qualify this time.
And in the history that Zhang Sheng knows, in the 2o16 season, they played in a mess. Shandong Luneng, who was almost relegated in the AFC Champions League, was placed in the same group as Hiroshima Sanfrecce in the AFC Champions League group stage. Shandong Luneng, who was in extremely poor form, ended up with 1
:2, the score of 1:0 at home doubles their group lead. This is also the first time in history that Shandong Luneng has reached the knockout stage of the AFC Champions League.
This shows the weakness of Sanfrecce Hiroshima when playing against other teams.
Of course, there is no doubt about the strength of the Hiroshima Sanfrecce team. Although there are no big-name players in the Hiroshima Sanfrecce captaincy, there are backbones such as Takuto Hayashi, Yuki Mizumoto, Naoki Ishihara, Toshihiro Aoyama, Yojiro Takaki and Takehito Nozuda.
Strength has always been a member of the Japanese national team roster. On the AFC Champions League registration form, Sanfrecce Hiroshima has only 4 foreign players. Except for Mikic, who is from Croatia, Park Yong-jin, Hwang Suk-ho and Byun Jun-beom are all from South Korea.
Sanfrecce Hiroshima is a typical team with average overall strength, no obvious weaknesses and does not rely on foreign aid.
Of course, the reason why Sanfrecce Hiroshima doesn't buy good foreign players is very simple, that is, their team has no money.
Before Sanfrecce Hiroshima's performance exploded, that is, in the 2o11 season, the team's head coach had always been foreign coach Petrovic. At the same time, he also received a salary that was considered high in the J-League - an annual salary of 8,000,000 yen.
At 6 million yuan.
The original capital of Hiroshima Sanfrecce Club was 2.11 billion yen, but by the end of 2010, the club had spent 2.036 billion yen, and had to increase its investment by 200 million yen. The entire team
Only 202 million yen of capital was left. After the 2011 season, Hiroshima's deficit reached 265 million yen.
Of course, another reason why Hiroshima Sanfrecce has no money to invest is that they are building a new football stadium. In order to build streets and utilize the stadium flexibly while building the stadium, the club chose the old Hiroshima Citizen Baseball Stadium as the construction site. The new stadium can accommodate
A professional football stadium with a capacity of 30,000 people.
This is a professional football stadium with a very British style. In fact, it is also in line with the temperament of Sanfrecce Hiroshima as a team, because in Japanese football, which is generally obsessed with samba football, Sanfrecce Hiroshima has always relied more on European style.
Since the team was founded, the first coach was Baxter, an Englishman who lived in Sweden all year round. Since then, there have been nine coaches. Except for four locals, the five foreign coaches are all from Europe.
Due to the strict access system of the J-League, teams that cannot meet the financial balance standard will be relegated. For this reason, the club’s president Yuichi Motoya said that he can only reduce human resource costs, all players will have their salaries reduced, and they will no longer compete with those who have already led the league.
The team’s foreign coach Petrovic has renewed his contract after six years.
After Petrovic left, Hiroshima Club appointed Mori Yasuichi, who had been serving as the director of the intensive competitive training department at the club, as its coach. Mori Yasuichi was once the coach of Japan's U19 youth team and led the team to a runner-up finish at the Asian Youth Championship.
He is also a head coach who is deeply influenced by European football style.
In terms of foreign aid, Sanfrecce Hiroshima saved what they could and only signed 3 players. Among them, the Croatian player Mikic, who was born in 198o, was only a Croatian U21 player and played 2 games in Kaiserslautern.
In the current season, he is an attacking right midfielder. The other two are Korean student players, namely former South Korean U18 international Lee Dae-hyun and South Korea's London Olympic main player Hwang Seok-ho. Even though Hiroshima Sanfrecce's performance improved and their income increased later, they
Only a few Korean foreign players were replaced.
Therefore, the overall salary of the Hiroshima Sanfrecce team is quite low. For example, in the 2o11 season, the salary of all Hiroshima team players was less than 1.1 billion yen (approximately 8,000 million yuan), which is almost equivalent to the salary of the relegated Osaka Gamba.
Half, but the team won the league championship.
Relying on these young local players and young local coaches like Yasuichi Mori, without top-notch foreign aid, no big-name supplements, and no famous coaches who are shocking, the Hiroshima team does not even have the main national team players. In the low-cost
Despite the lack of salary, they relied on local core players trained in the youth system to finally win the league championship.
At the same time, Mori Yasuichi also broke the embarrassing record of Japanese local coaches failing to win the championship. The last time a local coach won the Japan J-League was in the Osaka Gamba era of Nishino Roshi in the 2005 season. The most important thing about the Hiroshima Sanfrecce team led by Mori Yasuichi is
Pay attention to defense, press the opponent in the midfield or even in the frontcourt, and strictly carry out zone marking in the back line.
From these aspects, we can see how similar the teams led by Mori Yasuichi and Zhang Sheng are. The teams are all based on local players, and the players are generally very young. Both sides attach great importance to defense and play well.
They are all pressing tactics in the frontcourt. At the same time, the offense of both teams is mainly based on passing and controlling. Even the club's development is so the same. Both sides are building professional football stadiums. With the input of players,
I'm not that impulsive.
The most noteworthy thing about Sanfrecce Hiroshima right now should be their frontcourt trident. The local offensive triangle composed of Hisato Sato, Yojiro Takaki and Naoki Ishihara is what the Dragons need to guard against the most.
And now Hiroshima Sanfrecce is in very good shape. They are ranked second with 6 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. In order to prepare for this AFC Champions League, the J-League has also specially arranged the 12th round of Hiroshima Sanfrecce’s J-League.
The competition was moved to July, giving them enough physical fitness.
Compared to Sanfrecce Hiroshima, the Dragons just finished a Chinese league game three days ago and rushed to Japan to play away games. The team's physical fitness and other aspects are far inferior to their opponents.
After arriving in Japan, Zhang Sheng asked the players to quickly adapt to the venue. The most he did was to ask the team's physical fitness team and physical therapy team to step up the physical preparation of the players.
As for the players, team captain Shu Jun has officially returned. This time Zhang Sheng brought him to Japan, but he has not been released yet. After all, his condition has not reached its best. At the same time, as the previous absolute midfielder in the team
At the core, Ivo has finally finished his adjustment after the injury and has started formal training with the team. However, the Longteng team did not sign up Ivo for the first stage of the game because of his previous injury. If he wants to participate in the AFC Champions League, he must watch the Longteng team.
Can the team eliminate Sanfrecce Hiroshima and advance to the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League, because the second registration period for the AFC Champions League ends one week before the quarter-finals.
At the press conference before the game, Hiroshima Sanfrecce head coach Mori Yasuichi seemed very confident: "I know that the opponent team has top stars like Pato, but we are not afraid of them. We play overall football.
, the tactics are also very well prepared, and we will win the final victory."
When being interviewed, Zhang Sheng was not to be outdone and said: "This is not the first time we have come to Japan to participate in the AFC Champions League. Although we are a young team, our players are very good. I hope we can
Achieve better results than last time.”
The last time the Longteng team came to Japan, they took one point. Of course, a better result would be to take three points.
For this match between the two teams, the domestic attention of both sides is completely different. As the biggest dark horse in the league this season, all domestic sports broadcast platforms have paid full attention to it. Guangzhou Evergrande played in Asia yesterday
With the impact of Guan's 1:5 away victory over Osaka Sakura, domestic fans have given enough expectations. The ones responsible for commentating this game are Liu Jianhong and Xu Yang of CCTV Sports Channel.
In Japan, neither fans nor the media paid much attention to this game. Although Hiroshima Sanfrecce is the Japanese J-League champion, because the team belongs to the Chinese region of Japan, not Kanto and Kansai, so the number of fans
Few, the results of the AFC Champions League in the past were poor, and it was not optimistic. This game was broadcast on Nippon TV's pay TV g. The commentator was Shoji Shiro and the live broadcast was Suzuki Ken. Yesterday, when Osaka Sakura played Evergrande, Japan
TV stations have a system where three former international players, including Toshin Miyako, assist in broadcasting. Of course, this is also the reason why the influence of the Dragons is far less than that of Guangzhou Evergrande.
On May 7, the 1/8 finals of the East Asia Region of the AFC Champions League officially started. Hiroshima Sanfrecce faced the challenge of the Dragons at their home stadium, Hiroshima Wide Park 6 Arena.
Zhang Sheng arranged a relatively conservative lineup for this game. Ding Huaiyi on the left was once again put on the bench. Yu Bo, who was more defensive, came on. However, Lin Feng was arranged by Zhang Sheng. After all, the opponent was defensive. For this team, Lin Feng's midfielder's passing was far more reliable than Zhang Hao's. In Zhang Sheng's mind, Lin Feng attacked strongly for a period of time, trying to score goals for the team, and then let Zhang Hao go up to defend. It's best to get three points, but it's also very cost-effective to get a draw if you can't get three points.
Sanfrecce Hiroshima, on the other hand, has a full-day lineup, and several foreign players are not available.
After the game started, Sanfrecce Hiroshima took advantage of their home court to attack aggressively.
As a backbone grassroots player in the team, Toshihiro Aoyama is only 1.72 meters tall. He is the main defensive midfielder of Sanfrecce Hiroshima. He was once a representative of the Asian Games in Doha, Japan. He slows down his opponents with his tireless running on the court. Attacking and fighting very bravely, Aoyama suffered a lot of injuries in the league.
But when you underestimate his thin body, you will be punished. As a typical Japanese youth training player, his foot skills are very good. Only 2 minutes into the game, Lin Feng relaxed a little to him. He passed a good ball to the defense. After receiving a pass from Aoyama Toshihiro, Nozuda Taketo shot a long shot from outside the penalty area. The ball was slightly higher than the goal. The Longteng team escaped. In the 8th minute , Yojiro Takaki passed the ball to Toshihiro Aoyama, and this time it was the latter who took the shot. His long-range cannon hit Ma Yongli and bounced out of the baseline.
Obviously Hiroshima Sanfrecce's game state is better than that of the Dragons.
It may be that the continuous away games have had a greater impact on the Longteng team. After the start, many players of the Longteng team were obviously unable to run on the court. The consequence of this was that they could not pass the ball offensively and were always slow on defense. , and this is exactly the Japanese team's favorite opponent's state.
As the core organizer of Sanfrecce Hiroshima, Yojiro Takaki carefully observed the situation on the field and slowly discovered a weakness of the Dragon Team. That was because the players of the Dragon Team were not active in running and were responsible for playing in the midfield. Lin Feng, who is in the offensive line, often makes mistakes in passing and receiving with his teammates. Once Lin Feng goes forward to attack and makes mistakes, the Longteng team will have a loophole in the process of switching from defense to offense. The real attack and defense in the backcourt The only player in the game is Kante.
Having figured this out, Yojiro Takaki began to prepare for this loophole in the Dragon Team.
Yojiro Hagi is able to take advantage of this loophole. He is not only a dribbling master, holding the record for the youngest league appearance in the Hiroshima team, but he is also extremely physically fit and has the ability to shoot long distances. In Hiroshima Sanfrecce He even played as a lone forward in the team when there was a shortage of forwards, which shows his comprehensive ability.
In the 11th minute, Yojiro Takaki got a chance. When Lin Feng passed the ball to Mahrez on the right, because the passing force was too strong, the ball was caught by Hiroshima Sanfrecce's left back Mizumoto Yuki, who passed the ball It was given to Yojiro Takaki. He used his skillful foot skills to get past Lin Feng who came to defend and then passed the ball. Naoki Ishihara, the forward forward, received the ball and faced the goalkeeper directly, but his shot was not up to par and the ball deflected. The goal, this can be said to be a must-goal that was missed. (To be continued.)
