What Zhang Sheng values most is actually the role that the league plays in changing the football environment and the atmosphere of Chinese football.ΩBiqu Ge
The improvement of the league level will allow more people to watch and understand football, increase the value of the league due to more attention, and allow hard-working and capable players to have a stable job and income. This is the hope of Chinese football.
You can say that there is no necessary connection between the level of England and the level of the England national team, and you can also say that there is no necessary connection between the level of the Bundesliga and the level of the German national team. But in terms of the specific Chinese national team and the Chinese league - who can say?
No connection?
Chinese athletes who go to play abroad have all talked about the value of high-level training and not being afraid of competition for jobs. Do domestic players have to be afraid of competition for jobs?
Zhang Sheng also hopes that all the Chinese faces he sees in the Chinese League are Chinese, but Zhang Sheng definitely does not want it to be because of local protectionism or any policy. What Zhang Sheng hopes is that the Chinese players in the Chinese League are of the highest level, and they play
It’s because of strength!
How to truly provide enough talents for the national team and improve the competitiveness and level of the national team while the league is booming may be an embarrassing problem faced by both England and China.
Zhang Sheng believes that fundamentally speaking, the development of a national league cannot just be commercial and popular, but should also promote the development of the country's youth training system through a variety of measures, and drive the improvement of the level of local players through the introduction of high-level foreign aid.
Improvement, at this point, the Bundesliga and La Liga are more worthy of reference than the English league.
Soon Zhang Sheng explained his views to the media who interviewed him. His words aroused great repercussions among fans. Some people ridiculed on the Internet:
"A coach who coaches in China dares to comment on the European League."
"Others have trained players to be in England!" This is the retort.
"Chinese coaches also dare to comment on the teams participating in the World Cup."
"Other people have trained players in England!" This is still the rebuttal.
"Coaches who only dare to return to China to coach, don't tell them."
"Other people have trained players in England!" This is still the rebuttal.
"..."
Of course, Zhang Sheng rarely pays attention to such boring confrontations. Having completed the player transfer matters, his main task now is to watch World Cup games, because every such competition is a good place to observe and learn advanced football tactics.
opportunity.
In such a game, no team hides its strongest tactics. The head coach of each team will come up with their most advanced and successful style of play, because this is the best stage for performance.
Of course, some people have different views. For example, Lippi, the current head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande, said in an interview during the World Cup: "The latest technological development trend in international football will not appear in the World Cup, but in the Champions League.
For example, in the Champions League, many teams play with a four-back formation, while during the World Cup, most teams use a five-back formation."
Lippi believes that Guardiola's Bayern Munich currently plays with the most advanced technology in football, although his team did not enter the Champions League finals.
In Lippi's eyes, Bayern Munich now plays the 2.0 version of TiKitaka. Although the core is still controlling the rhythm of the game through ball control and passing, this tactic is still very different from the previous TiKitaka during Barcelona's time.
The 2.o version has a faster pace, adopts more three-dimensional attacks, and uses more penetrating direct passes, while Barcelona's passes are mainly parallel and backcourt passes; at the same time, the 2.o version
Tactical players are physically stronger and more determined, so Spanish football has not been eliminated, but the Germans have inherited the mantle and formed the 2.o version of Spanish football. This is the latest trend in world football development.
In fact, in Zhang Sheng's view, the tactics of teams like Argentina and the Netherlands can hardly be defined as traditional defensive counterattacks. In fact, on the basis of being able to control the situation, they will not give up the ball easily. Their football
It is based on defense and fast advancement, but it is by no means conservative and boring long passes. "Putting the bus" has been given a new meaning in the new era. Inside the body of the bus, there may be a deadly cannon hidden.
In fact, we have seen the shadow of this kind of football in the Champions League before. This season's Champions League adheres to this style of play, including Mourinho's Chelsea and Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid. Real Madrid this season defeated the insistence on passing the game.
Bayern, considered the "New Universe Team" with their controlled kicking style, won the Champions League.
But the establishment of this style is not contrary to tiki-taki. In fact, the execution of both tactics must be based on the players' excellent skills and ability to read the game. The only difference is that the coach depends on the characteristics of the team's personnel.
A combination of different ways of doing it.
After the start of the World Cup, people in the football industry can clearly see the homogeneity of the World Cup teams, and the differences in styles between the teams are getting smaller and smaller. This also proves that the core essence of football is the same. A team without technology
, a team whose players cannot get the ball, cannot control the ball, and a team that does not understand how to read the game, will find it difficult to gain a foothold in modern football, and it will be difficult for it to have its own style.
The trend of world football is still passing and controlling the ball. On this basis, each team is pursuing a faster pace to gain an advantage in the fierce competition. The competition for time and space on the court is becoming increasingly fierce. This requires players even more
They have better technical and physical qualities.
In addition, there are some details that are also very thought-provoking.
For example, as teams generally attach importance to defense, conventional offensive methods are no longer effective. Take the match between Belgium and Argentina as an example. Under the strict defense of Argentina, the Belgian team, which was lagging behind, tried its best.
, but hardly created an absolute chance to score.
For example, when regular attacks cannot pry open the opponent's tight defense, set pieces have increasingly become a weapon for victory. In the eight-to-four games of this World Cup, a total of 5 goals were scored, 3 of which were scored by set pieces.
In two games, the outcome was determined by set kicks.
For example, the victory of the game often occurs at the moment of transition between offense and defense. A passing error by the offense will soon develop into an opportunity for the defense to counterattack. At this time, the original defensive formation of the offense is the loosest.
It is also the time when it is easiest for the counterattacking party to create threats.
For example, victory in football matches relies more on suddenness, concealment, creative and unconventional attacks, and even requires a stroke of genius.
Finally, Zhang Sheng came to the conclusion: Victory in football matches increasingly relies on high technology, superb tactics and a high degree of wisdom. Future football matches require players to be more skilled in leading, stopping, turning, receiving, shooting, etc.
A series of skills, and these skills often need to be completed in high-intensity confrontation and high-level operation; it requires passing players to have just the right timing, angle, line, and strength of the passing, and smart movement and reception of players without the ball;
The team is required to have a high degree of concentration and strict discipline. Of course, what is most needed to win a football match is football wisdom: broad vision, keen judgment, and quick reaction after assessing the situation...
These tactics are exactly what Zhang Sheng needs to improve in his daily training in the second half of the season.
Of course, this World Cup has also stirred up many topics outside of the game.
For example, as the first World Cup that has penetrated deeply into people's hearts with social networks, "queuing up to the rooftop" was once a self-deprecating phrase often used by lottery players and gamblers when they failed.
The more popular topic is of course whether Messi's performance deserves the title of "Ball King".
After the World Cup, Messi won the World Cup's Golden Ball. Some people said that Messi's 4 goals against underdogs in the previous group matches were too low, and his performance in the final stage was too low.
The best player. Messi did not reach the heights he deserved in the World Cup. Argentina lacked a brain and did not appear at all when the team needed it. Some people even said that awarding the Golden Ball Award to Messi in the World Cup in Brazil was a serious mistake.
It can be regarded as a consolation prize for the runner-up.
But some people say that Argentina won six games. Messi was the best in four games, the best in the team in five games, scored key goals in every group stage, and had a winning assist in the first knockout game. He was fully worthy of the title of Ballon d'Or.
As a spectator, Zhang Sheng did not make any comments, because in this World Cup, except for McGowan, no one from the Longteng team participated in the World Cup, and McGowan's Australia still lost all three games in the group stage.
, there is really no need to comment.
However, during the World Cup, there was a more lively topic in Chinese football, that is, Jack Ma invested 1.2 billion in Guangzhou Evergrande Club and purchased 50% of the equity of Guangzhou Evergrande.
Football has always been a hotly debated topic in China, and Guangzhou Evergrande has always been at the center of the topic. Now coupled with Jack Ma, who is a household name not only in China, but also around the world, this news has made people all over China
The fans were completely shocked.
Chinese fans have seen another wealthy Chinese paying attention to football.
Prior to this, China's richest man was Wang Jianlin, the founder of Wanda Group, with a net worth of US$14.7 billion. Chinese fans who follow domestic football are very familiar with Wang Jianlin.
As the boss of Dalian Wanda, the predecessor of Dalian Shide, the former hegemon of China's domestic professional leagues, domestic fans are very familiar with it. After withdrawing from Dalian Wanda Shide in 1999, Wang Jianlin stayed away from Chinese football for many years.
From the beginning of his disappointment in Chinese football in 1998, to the anti-gambling and black storm in football in 2011, Wang Jianlin returned to China after more than ten years of staying away from Chinese football.
After returning to Chinese football, the Chinese billionaire first spent 500 million to finance the Football Association, help name the Chinese league, sponsor young people to study abroad, train young referees, and hire high-level foreign teachers to coach the Chinese team.
Zhang Sheng knew that Wang Jianlin would invest even more in the future. In 2015, he acquired Infront, one of the world's top five sports marketing companies, for 1.05 billion euros and obtained 68.2% of the shares, giving him an absolute
of controlling interest.
Next, Wang Jianlin acquired 20% of the shares of Atletico Madrid Club for 44.98 million euros.
In the end, he persuaded FIFA by investing money to turn the Cup of China, which he funded as the main board, into an international A-level event.
This shows how much Wang Jianlin invests in football.
And this time, Jack Ma took over Guangzhou Evergrande with a strong reputation as China's richest man, which made everyone have more expectations for Chinese football.
In fact, there were signs of Jack Ma's investment in football very early on. Judging from the information that Jack Ma later disclosed to the media, Xu Jiayin had been in contact with Jack Ma for a long time. Xu Jiayin also confirmed this. He said that as early as a year after the acquisition,
A few years ago, he began to "fool" Ma Yun and instilled in Ma Yun that "football is very happy". Three months later, Ma Yun began to inquire about football.
Regarding this cooperation, Xu and Ma were drinking in Hong Kong the day before. After drinking, Xu Jiayin asked Ma Yun whether he could come, and Ma Yun said yes. The next day, Ma Yun called Xu Jiayin, and the two decided to cooperate together within 15 minutes.
However, Ma Yun also caused some misunderstandings in the process of understanding football.
Jack Ma once went to Greentown Group, which is also a Zhejiang businessman, to watch the youth training school of Greentown Football Club, and probably chatted a little bit. As a fellow city, hometown and old friend, Song Weiping mentioned that Jack Ma should acquire the shares of Greentown, but he offered
The shares are 49%.
Just two weeks later, Ma Yun and Xu Jiayin reached an agreement to acquire 50% of the Guangzhou Evergrande Club for 1.2 billion. Song Weiping was obviously a little angry. Regarding Ma Yun's "change of heart", Song Weiping said in an interview with the media that he would lead 20,000 Zhejiang fans.
Denounce Jack Ma for "not loving Zhejiang and loving beauty." He values profit and neglects loyalty, and dislikes the poor and loves the rich. This should not be the style of Alibaba and Jack Ma.
Jack Ma obviously disagrees with Song Weiping's statement. He has clarified the internal dealings within Alibaba:
1. Greentown has never mentioned selling a football club to me. I admire Chairman Song Weiping’s love and devotion to football.
2. I have never mentioned purchasing a football club to Greentown. We have only discussed continuing public welfare investments in Greentown Education (including football schools), hospitals, etc.
3. Chairman Xu Jiayin of Evergrande was the only person who asked me to invest in their club football. He spent a year laying the groundwork for me.
Although Mr. Xu Jiayin and I only negotiated for 15 minutes, our decision on this investment was prudent, and the subsequent business investigation was standardized and professional. Business investment is not gambling, and it must not be used irrationally, let alone using it.
It is the company's money. Willingness to buy, willing to sell and fair dealing are the principles and bottom line of business. No one can ensure that every investment can be 100% successful, but we must ensure that every investment is 100% rational, objective and serious.
.
It can be seen that none of these people who follow Chinese football are idle, and everyone is ready to make big news at any time.
