While the outside media are still hyping up the national football squad, Zhang Sheng, who has a day off, has already led the Longteng team to prepare for the next round of the league. BiquΩ Ge
This time the Longteng team's opponent is Shanghai Shenxin.
Shanghai Shenxin is considered an Akaline team in China, with few stars, and its results are basically relegation. There is relatively little news, not to mention that there are still two popular teams in Shanghai: Shanghai Shenhua and Shanghai SIPG.
Sheng's team, as the younger brother Shanghai Shenxin will only appear more low-key.
However, Shanghai Shenxin also attracts media attention every year, and that is the transfer period before the season.
Because the transfer window has opened and the season of player buying and selling has arrived, the local tycoons who have won the lottery have stretched out their magic hands and begun to look for players who can enhance their own strength. Last season, those players in Shanghai Shenxin’s team who performed brilliantly
The players showed strong appeal, and the local tycoons would not hesitate to rush in and use various means to poach them away. In the end, Shanghai Shenxin Club could only succumb to the pressure of money.
Shanghai Shenxin performed very well last season. In the increasingly fierce competitive environment in China, with a small investment and even a profit, it defeated its rivals Shanghai Shenhua and Shanghai SIPG in the same city and won the league title.
A good result of seventh place.
A key figure for this good result is Guo Guangqi, the club's executive vice president and team leader who took over the team midway.
Shenxin did not perform well in the early league and was in the position of relegation in the league. Shenxin's boss Xu Guoliang called Guo Guangqi and made the team leader Guo Guangqi, who had just arrived at the team less than 72 hours ago, serve as Shenxin's acting head coach.
Later, when outsiders were not optimistic, he led the team in an orderly manner, and finally achieved the best result in the history of Shen Xinzhong's team, ranking seventh in the league, and completing the top eight indicators set by the club at the beginning of the season.
Guo Guangqi and Zhang Sheng have very similar experiences. They started out as players, went to college at Beijing Sport University, and then started in the youth training, went to Brazil to study, participated in the gold plating of professional teams in Brazil, and obtained the coaching qualification recognized by FIFA.
He finally returned to the domestic football circle and worked as a coach, team leader, vice president, etc., and finally transformed into a professional football manager. He has always been a football person that Zhang Sheng is very optimistic about.
After this season, Guo Guangqi was also promoted to the general manager of Shanghai Shenxin, which was regarded as a reward for his outstanding performance.
Of course, Shanghai Shenxin's good results last season were also related to the excellent performance of several players in their team. In particular, Jiang Zhipeng emerged as a new player and contributed a lot to the team's offense.
The team's good results were so good that Chen Zhizhao, who left Shen Xin to study abroad in Brazil, almost saw the team's results and stayed, but then Shen Xin repeated his old tricks and sold Jiang Zhipeng and Zhu Baojie to Guangzhou R&F. Chen Zhizhao was also frustrated.
It’s getting colder. Beijing Guoan.
After the start of this season, Shenxin has entered the inherent track of relegation. Before this game, they had 2 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses, and only accumulated 11 points, ranking third from the bottom.
For this weak opponent, Zhang Sheng's order to the team was to score more goals and win a big victory.
The players did not live up to Zhang Sheng's expectations. In the first half, Lin Feng continued his fiery form in the previous game. He opened the scoring to help the home team take the lead. Then Pato's two goals made the game completely meaningless.
, the three-goal lead in the first half laid the foundation for a big score in this game.
Sure enough, the Longteng team still maintained its advantage on the field after rotating the team in the second half. Pato made persistent efforts and scored another goal before being replaced, completing his second hat trick. Although Shanghai Shenxin counterattacked through Yang Jiawei
The sneak attack saved a little face, but Mahrez's goal before the end of the game completely fixed the score at 5:1.
This score is the biggest score the Longteng team has achieved since arriving in China. Each of the five goals was wonderful. The only flaw is that Song Jianhua lost the ball again, and it was another counterattack by the opponent. It seems that his lack of talent will be difficult for him.
Too much progress in a short period of time.
After this round of games, the general scope of the championship group in China this season has been determined. Guangzhou Evergrande still maintains first place in the league as the defending champion, but the sudden rise of the Longteng team has been very obvious. After this round of games, he has stabilized
They have maintained their second position in the league for two rounds. At the same time, they maintain the hope of competing for the championship. Beijing Guoan, who has performed very well this season, is currently ranked third in the league.
Now these three teams are lined up with 29, 28, and 27 respectively, and the points are very tight. If there are no big fluctuations among these three teams, this season's champion should be among them.
Before the season, the outside world's opinion of the Longteng team fluctuated. As the FA Cup champion last season, although they were only a Chinese League One team, their crushing performance in the Chinese League One made people look forward to it.
Everyone unanimously believes that they can have a catfish effect on the Chinese League this season, and if they make a little further progress, they may be a strong contender for the AFC Champions League next season. However, the Longteng team's pre-season player sale made everyone think that this was a big deal.
A team that only has no pursuit is a speculator who only sees money.
And judging from the first few games of the season, the Longteng team did not perform satisfactorily. It was once ranked at the bottom of the league standings. At the same time, the serious injury of the team's midfielder Ivo has even more serious consequences for the team's future.
It cast a shadow. However, the Longteng team gradually found its form after several rounds of competition. While the team won consecutive victories in the league, it also made great progress in the AFC Champions League.
While reaching the East Asian semi-finals of the AFC Champions League in history, they also ranked second in the league in the last round. Even the most optimistic Longteng fans did not expect that the team would have such a success.
Good results.
What also confirmed the strength of the Longteng team was the announcement of the new national team training list by the Chinese Football Association on the second day of the game. As expected by the media, seven players of the Longteng team were on the list.
Before this list was announced, although there were many rumors from the outside that Perrin wanted to create his own direct lineage and transferred a large number of young players from the Dragons and Shanghai SIPG, these were just rumors. Once the list came out, everyone still
I was shocked. The 7 members of the Longteng team were selected as the club with the second highest number of selected players in the national team this time. Guangzhou Evergrande was ranked first. They had as many as 8 players selected. This is a pair of Chinese and new players.
But it's an incredible honor.
Every national team selection is accompanied by a lot of controversy, and this time is no different.
The Longteng team is indeed ranked second in the league and is doing well in the AFC Champions League, but most of the players on the team do not have much experience, and the selection of national team players is a very cautious process. It is impossible to know who is in recent form.
Choose whoever is good, being able to maintain long-term high-level performance is the key to selecting players, and with so many newcomers joining the team at one time, how to arrange tactics is also a big problem.
For example, there is a lot of controversy over the selection of Ding Huaiyi. As a substitute player on the left side of the Longteng team, although Ding Huaiyi often performs amazingly on the court, he is a young newcomer after all. As a player, he has both advantages and disadvantages.
He is very prominent and many people have different interpretations of him.
Some people think that Ding Huaiyi is mostly showy on the court and his physical fitness is only guaranteed for 70 minutes in the game. He should wait for more training before being selected. Some people think that because of his technical skills, he should have been selected long ago.
But regardless of outside comments, these young people who were selected for the national team are still very excited.
On the second day after the national team roster was announced, Wenkai found Zhang Sheng and said, "Thank you, coach!"
Zhang Sheng said seriously: "You don't need to thank anyone for being selected for the national team. You were selected because of your outstanding performance on the court, not because I begged you to be selected for the national team."
In fact, Zhang Sheng did not exaggerate Wenkai's role. As a rare center player in China, Wenkai played extremely well in the Chinese League One last season. This season, Wenkai's performance is also very outstanding.
So far, he has scored 6 goals in 13 league rounds, ranking 5th in the scorer list. He is currently the local top scorer, scoring more goals than the "Wu Qiu Wang" who has high hopes for everyone. At the same time, he is in the AFC Champions League.
The above performance does not disgrace the domestic players. Each of the four goals is very important. A domestic bad guy can score goals, and he can score goals in high-level confrontations in international competitions. It is really unreasonable for him not to be selected for the national team.
So regarding his selection, even though he was a newcomer, no one from the outside raised any objections.
However, Zhang Sheng also knew that this was Wenkai's peak performance. After all, he only had so much potential and ability, and such a performance was inseparable from his own hard work.
"I was an abandoned player before!" Wen Kai laughed at himself, obviously remembering the situation before joining Longteng Club, "At that time, my wish was to play football, no matter what league it was, even if it was B.
The National League is also a league that I long for but cannot reach. I still remember the situation before I joined the team. I haven’t played for many years and my family owes a lot of debts. They are all due to my previous football studies. I got married early.
My wife stayed with me and always encouraged me, saying that I could play football. But at that time, I played wild football every month and went out to do odd jobs to support the family. I never bought her anything good. I was able to join the team.
, my wife was so happy that she couldn't sleep for a few days. Every time I came home, she would ask me if I was serious about training and if I performed well in the game, for fear that I would be abandoned by the team. More than two years have passed, and I have absolutely no intention of doing it.
I thought that one day I would be able to join the national team."
When talking about joining the national team, Wen Kai clenched his fists and his whole body was shaking. Then he said excitedly: "I received the notification of being selected for the national team yesterday. My wife kept telling me that no matter what, I must come.
Thank you, I think so too."
After speaking, Wen Kai bowed deeply to Zhang Sheng.
Zhang Sheng quickly went over to support him and said: "You are going too far. Your ability is your own and cannot be escaped. If I don't dig you out, other coaches will dig you out. If you don't say goodbye,
Yes, perform well, I still need you to help me continue to score goals."
Wen Kai nodded affirmatively and said, "I can coach."
After Wen Kai left, Zhang Sheng received a call from Li Gang. On the phone, everyone congratulated Zhang Sheng with envy and said: "You are so awesome. Your players have entered the national team one after another. Do you know? Even our permanent
Many older players are envious of you, especially the young players. They all say that you have a golden finger and you can make it with just a few clicks. I asked why I haven't seen you have the talent to be a coach before."
Zhang Sheng smiled and said: "Why, are you envious? You can do it if you want your players to join the national team. As long as you become the head coach yourself, you will have that day."
Li Gang said regretfully: "I haven't reached the time yet. I'm still learning a lot of things, but there are certain changes in my work now."
Zhang Sheng thought about it and realized the change Li Gang was talking about: "Hey, are you going to the national team coaching staff?"
Li Gang was obviously stunned for a moment before saying: "You are quite well-informed. I just received this order today, do you already know about it?"
Zhang Sheng smiled mysteriously and said: "Hey, I know everything, there is nothing I don't know."
"Whether you go to the national team or not, please help me take care of the past players of the Long Teng team. You are their big brother." Zhang Sheng then said.
Li Tie pretended to be serious and said: "You know me. I am very strict and very dedicated at work. Don't think that I will open the back door for you."
Then Li Tie revealed the purpose of his call: "I can take care of them. I heard that you have a lot of coaching notes. If you contribute them, I can consider it."
"You kid!" Zhang Sheng scolded with a smile, "If you want to learn from me, just say it. Why beat around the bush? I have a lot of secrets. I guarantee that after reading this, you will be able to switch from assistant coach to head coach immediately, and you can also kill everyone."
."
Li Tie didn't waste any time talking to Zhang Sheng: "Okay, okay. I said you're fat but you're still breathing. Hand over your notes quickly. I'll help you take good care of your disciples."
After Zhang Sheng finished the phone call, he sorted out his coaching notes over the past few years, skipping some parts involving the system, and sent an electronic file to Li Tie without reservation for the others.
In Zhang Sheng's view, if he can put more of his experience into practice, he will contribute more to Chinese football. He never worries about others stealing his lessons. On the contrary, the more people come to steal his lessons, the happier Zhang Sheng will be.
After finishing these things, Zhang Sheng began to receive several disciples who came back from abroad. These players who went abroad to study under Zhang Sheng are Zhang Sheng's greatest pride. (To be continued.)
