This season, Beijing Guoan should be said to be on the right path.Ww W．

First of all, their head coach selection was good.
At the beginning of this year, after having scandals with countless top coaches, Beijing Guoan finally signed a 12-year working contract with the little-known Spanish coach Gregorio Manzano. This decision surprised various experts.
, and even a Serie A expert on a certain website shouted: "Brother Camacho" is here. Although Beijing Guoan's performance is the best in recent years, there are still a lot of fans who are not very interested in it.
But in the face of the current results of the top two teams in the standings, we have to admit that Manzano does have two tricks.
Zhang Sheng remembered that historically Manzano won this year's mid-year coach of the year, which shows the external recognition of him. As a reborn person, Zhang Sheng even knew that after Manzano was fired by Beijing Guoan, he had to coach
Shanghai Shenhua's results are also very good. Under his coaching, the team won the fourth place in the Chinese League, created an unbeaten home record in the league, and broke into the semi-finals of the Football Association Cup. It regained the AFC Champions League after five years.
qualified for the competition and achieved the club’s season goal.
Secondly, compared with the poor recruitment in previous seasons, Beijing Guoan’s recruitment this season can be said to be a rare success.
Guoan eliminated a large number of players during the winter window, and it can be seen that they want to make a big splash. Among the players who left the team, Wang Xiaolong and Kanoute were the main players last season, and Kanoute is the core of the team.
, the departure of these two people has a relatively large impact on the team. For this reason, the club has spent an unprecedented amount of money to introduce six players in one go.
Among them, Batala also set a record for the value of a foreign player in the history of the Guoan team. Beijing Guoan bought him for 350 euros. As the assist leader in the Turkish League, Batala was undoubtedly introduced as a substitute for Kanut. Because in
The last club contradicted the coach. When he came to Guoan, he had not trained systematically for half a year. It can be seen that in the first game of the season, his ability to escape was not too much due to his poor physical condition.
On the contrary, it was his keen sense of goal that helped him become the team's top scorer in the first half of the season. After adjustments during the World Cup break, Batala, who was not very well prepared before the season, also made up for his physical advantage.
He will be one of the players Zhang Sheng focuses on in this game.
This season, Beijing Guoan was eliminated from the AFC Champions League. Many people also believed that it was due to Batala's absence. Due to bargaining over the transfer fee, Batala missed the qualification to register for the AFC Champions League. Everyone felt that if Batala
Beijing Guoan, who can play in the AFC Champions League and once performed well in the AFC Champions League group stage, may not necessarily be eliminated.
At the same time, several other foreign players include Ha Daesong of the Korean national team, Zhao Hejing, nicknamed "Kangkang", and Chen Zhizhao who returned from Brazil, all performed well, not to mention Liu Xing, who they poached from the Longteng team.
The Guoan team has the sharpest offensive power, turning the left wing, which has been criticized before, into its own advantage.
And Zhang Sheng knew that during this summer transfer period, Deyang, whom they bought from Jiangsu Sainty, performed even better. After being frustrated in the Sainty team, he performed very well in Beijing Guoan, nicknamed
He is the Asian Ibrahimovic, and he really played the role of Ibrahimovic. He scored a lot of goals, assisted, and supported everything. He even often returned to the backcourt to assist in defense.
Although another foreign aid in the summer window, Feizulaw, started high and fell low, he is now in good condition. As for Lei Tenglong, who returned from Portugal, he is also a good substitute.
As a coach who was not born as a player, Manzano is a veteran coach with a strong academic style. His personal stable and rigorous character is also reflected in the formation requirements. He places great emphasis on tactical discipline, with a fixed range of activities for each position and three lines.
The lines are tight. Although this tactic is relatively out of touch with the current trend of frequent position changes popular in the world, it is very suitable for Chinese players with poor technical and tactical awareness.
Manzano's favorite method of playing is the 4-midfielder in a diamond position. Like many pure Spanish coaches, Manzano mainly works on the wing. Historically, Beijing Guoan this season played in the wing midfielder.
The lack of personnel capabilities is inconsistent with the characteristics. Guoan has never used this formation, but with Liu Xing, a national team main-level player this season, Manzano has the capital to play this formation, especially when facing stronger players.
When the team is weak, Liu Xing's cutting in from the wing is his main means of offense. However, when facing a strong team, Manzano will have another way of playing. He will use the 4231 single forward control style.
In this method, the team uses short passes to cooperate and advance layer by layer. Batala stands in the midfielder position and is responsible for dispatching, because this formation is stronger in defense and more stable than the 442 formation.
It should be said that Manzano has brought a lot of new things to Beijing Guoan. As a Spanish coach, like Zhang Sheng who advocates passing and receiving, Beijing Guoan’s ball possession rate so far this season has reached 60
.5%, and the number of passes is also the most in Guoan's history in a season. The outside world unanimously believes that this game is a competition between the two teams with the best passing control.
Secondly, he has trained the defense very well. So far, they have conceded the fewest goals in the team - only 10, which is even less than the Guangzhou Evergrande and Longteng teams ahead of them. Of course, this is also the same as the Beijing team.
. Jing Guoan’s fouls are related to the fact that he no longer needs to press in a small multi-person area to quickly steal the ball and hit the opponent’s counterattack. Instead, he needs to use more harassment and fouls in the midfield to slow down or prevent the opponent’s quick counterattack. Therefore,
This season, Beijing Guoan ranks first in fouls in the entire league. Fortunately, they have a very deep "foundation" and relatively few yellow cards. In addition, this season they have neat personnel and a deep bench, so they have a lot of manpower.
Nothing is missing.
However, in Zhang Sheng's view, Manzano's most successful success after coming to Beijing Guoan was the psychological training of the players.
There is a reason why Manzano has strong psychological training ability. He has a bachelor's degree in psychology and a psychiatrist's license. Therefore, he is also nicknamed "Professor" in the Spanish coaching community. After Manzano arrived, through subtle indoctrination,
Gradually, a strong mentality was established for Guoan players, and a big stubborn problem of Beijing Guoan was overcome - the away bug.
Away bug is a common problem for Chinese teams. The imbalance of home and away results has always been a chronic problem that hinders the Guoan League from going further. Even when they won the championship in 2009, the difference between home and away points was still 13 points. This situation became more serious last year. Guoan 2o13
The league is undefeated at home throughout the season, with a score difference of 15 points between home and away. This performance of two completely different teams at home and away may come from the deep-rooted utilitarian football thinking of "win at home and keep a draw away from home" in Chinese football training. So far, Beijing
.Jingguoan’s away points are only 6 points less than at home. This is what they achieved despite playing more at home in the first half of the season.
Therefore, facing this away team, Zhang Sheng paid great attention to it. Considering that the core personnel and positions of the team have been greatly adjusted, Zhang Sheng did not let Ben Alpha, but maintained the performance of the first half of the season.
In France, Pato was still placed in the middle, with Ding Huaiyi on the right, Yu Bo on the left midfielder, Lin Feng and Rock Gill partnering in the double midfielder, and Zhou Wei as the goalkeeper.
Before the start of the game, Zhang Sheng explained to both Ben Alpha and Ivo.
Regarding Ben Alpha, Zhang Sheng clearly pointed out his current situation: "Judging from the report submitted to me by the physical fitness coaching team, your body does not have the capital to play the entire game. Today is a very important game.
The opponent will definitely focus on defense at this stage and will not prepare to attack until later in the game, so you can't in this game, but I will put you on the bench, and you must be ready to go up when the team cannot open up the situation."
Ben Alpha, who had experienced a lot of power when he first joined the team, seemed very honest: "I know, in the second half, it's up to me." Obviously he also knows that his current tactical role is to sprint up in the second half.
As for Ivo, Zhang Sheng was more polite: "Originally, I should have given you more opportunities to find your form, but this game is quite special. I hope you can understand. If the situation on the court is stable, I will let you play in the second half."
Come on."
Ivo was obviously mentally prepared to be a substitute. He said: "Boss, I know that if the situation on the field is not good, I also hope to come on and help."
Zhang Sheng patted Ivo on the shoulder comfortingly and said, "There will be a chance."
Manzano also attached great importance to this game and was giving lectures in the locker room at this time. In fact, although Manzano was a psychology professor, he was not good at handling locker room relations. During his two coaching stints at Atletico Madrid in La Liga
, have all caused locker room crises, and Manzano rarely enters the locker room, except at the decisive moment. He rarely spends 40 minutes before the game to use his psychology like when he coached Atletico Madrid in 2002 and faced being eliminated from the Copa del Rey.
Doctor experience, cheering for players.
But this time, facing the Dragons, who were in the leading position but were just an emerging team, Manzano saw the hope of reaching the top, and he carefully prepared the locker room speech before the game.
First he pointed out the biggest weakness of the Longteng team: "I know everyone attaches great importance to this game, and this team has defeated us before, but I want to say that they are not as strong as imagined."
"They made a big mistake in the middle of the league, which was to let two core players transfer and leave. This is not what a strong team, a team that wants to win the championship, does. Any team that wants to win the championship
, they will try their best to strengthen their team's strength, and will never give up core players for a little money or a little reputation midway. Therefore, as long as we show a stronger desire to win the championship, we will defeat them.
."
After saying these words, Manzano surprised the players, because even though Manzano led the team this season with good results, he never said the word "win the championship", and when facing the league's first team Long Teng
When he was in the team, he made a declaration to win the championship, which shows how much he attaches importance to this game.
Seeing the team looking at him with surprised eyes, Manzano said seriously: "Yes, I'm talking about winning the championship. Don't be surprised, because we are a team with a championship tradition. We have won it three times.
FA Cup champion, we have won the league championship, I have also led the team to win the King's Cup championship in La Liga, I know what the championship can bring us, those championships prove that we are the best, and our opponents, they
What’s there?”
"This game will determine whether we can win the championship this season. As players on the championship team, I believe you can overcome difficulties and defeat them!" Manzano's unswerving tone gave the players great encouragement.
As the captain of the team, Xu Yunlong demonstrated his value at this time. After Manzano finished speaking, he began to encourage his teammates: "I have been in Guoan for almost fifteen years, and I have won the championship with the team.
For all championships, I fully understand what the coach said. Only a team that wants to win the championship can win the championship. What is the slogan of our Guoan team?"
"Guoan will always strive for first place!" All the teammates shouted in unison.
Hearing his teammates shouting in unison, Xu Yunlong struck while the iron was hot: "Yes, this is our Guoan's belief. Under this belief, we won the FA Cup championship and we won the league championship. Today, under this belief,
We must defeat our opponents and advance towards the championship again!”
Then Xu Yunlong stretched out his hand, and the players from Beijing Guoan also gathered around and folded their hands.
Xu Yunlong took the lead and shouted with everyone: "Come on! Come on! Come on!"
Seeing the performance of Xu Yunlong and the players, Manzano also gave everyone a thumbs up and said: "Everyone, come on and stick to our style of play. We are the strongest."
As the players prepared to take the field, commentators from all walks of life began to make various predictions about the game.
Because it is the focus of this round, like the two teams, all broadcast media have sent their own elite personnel. The commentator for CCTV is Shen Fangjian, and the commentator for Sina Sports is Wang Yu and the famous Huang Jianxiang.
As for the local TV stations of the two participating teams, the one who is responsible for the commentary is of course the most famous.
The fans of the Longteng team also attach great importance to this game. At the beginning of the season, no matter how much the fans looked forward to their team, they never thought that their team would be in the top spot after the first stage of the league.
position, but the Longteng team gave them a great surprise, and the fans also gave the team the greatest support, that is, coming to watch the game and cheer the team.
