The two coaches summoned this time are Joel Lee from Costa Rica, who is 43 years old this year, and Aleksanyan from Uzbekistan, who is also 44 years old. These two coaches came to Longteng Football Club
There was a lot of discussion after school, because it is still very rare for Chinese Americans to come back from abroad to teach youth training. Bi
However, after Zhang Sheng chatted with the two of them, he quickly recognized their abilities.
Joel Lee is the youth training coach of the Alajuelense Sports Club, the top team in Costa Rica. He has nearly ten years of coaching experience in this club and has always been in charge of the club's U9 echelon.
With such an excellent youth training coach like him, in the just-concluded 2o14 World Cup in Brazil, the Costa Rica national team passed all the way and entered the top 8. Among the opponents they eliminated, there were many strong teams such as Uruguay, Italy, England, and Greece, and finally won the fourth place.
In the quarter-finals, Costa Rica drew 0-0 with the Netherlands within 120 minutes, only to lose to their opponent in a penalty shootout.
And Aleksanyan also comes from Benyudko, a strong domestic team in Uzbekistan. He has coached this top team in Uzbekistan for a full 20 years. Although he has always coached the U13 echelon, but in
The reputation of Uzbek football is still very loud. In fact, Uzbek football has only started to develop in the past few years. After a series of troughs, their President Karimov has repeatedly used the title of "President" since May 2006.
The programmatic guidance plan for football reform was issued in the form of "Order", and "all-out development of football" was included in the entire country's development strategy. This method of mobilizing the whole country to develop football quickly achieved results, and the history of later generations was positive.
In this way, the Chinese team lost 0:2 to its opponents in the 2o16 World Cup qualifiers. Of course, the development of Uzbek football is closely related to outstanding youth training coaches like Alexanyan.
These two experienced youth training coaches gave Zhang Sheng a lot of advice. Their experience in actual training gave Zhang Sheng a lot of inspiration, especially in some training details, which made Zhang Sheng feel suddenly enlightened.
Zhang Sheng also made arrangements for the two of them. Under the strong suggestion of Heike Fogel, Zhang Sheng arranged the two of them to the u9 and u13 echelons of Jiangcheng Main School respectively, and moved the two of them to the u9 and u13 echelons.
Two outstanding coaches communicated with each other in the newly opened Huangshi branch. Of course, this is also related to the fact that both of them are from Huangshi. This is also the first time that Longteng Club has gone to a prefecture to open a branch after experiencing the collective exodus of coaches, which means that before
The impact of the coaching incident on Longteng Club has completely disappeared, and the expansion of the club’s football school has begun again.
After settling the summoning matter, Zhang Sheng flew to Dalian with his team and started preparing for the Chinese League match against Dalian Albin.
Dalian Albin is basically terminally ill this season. In the past few years, the local city government has owed as much as 1.2 billion to the company behind the club, the Albin Group. This has plunged Dalian Albin into an unprecedented economic crisis and owed players as much as
11 months salary.
At the same time, the Dalian Football Association was fanning the flames from behind, forcing Albin to acquire Shide, and calling for localization, supported Xu Hong to take over, and forced Stano away.
Finally, due to some special reasons, the local sports bureau also turned its attention to supporting the national football team, leaving the relationship between Dalian Albin and the current Chinese Football Association in a mess.
So when the Longteng team played against Dalian Albin, we could see that they played weakly. Although the Longteng team flew from Jiangcheng, the situation on the field was obviously in favor of the Longteng team. Even the players of the Longteng team
They seemed to have lost their shooting boots and repeatedly missed the opportunity to score. In the end, they relied on Ding Huaiyi's breakthrough shot to settle the score at o:1.
Dalian Albin, which lost again, is getting closer and closer to relegation. If Zhang Sheng does not expect, they should be relegated to the Chinese League One this season as has happened historically.
Of course, there are also hidden dangers in this victory, that is, Ben Alfa did not play well. He was playing very awkwardly throughout the game, and Zhang Sheng had to replace him in the second half.
However, this round of games was another upset. Changchun Yatai, known as the giant killer, defeated Guangzhou Evergrande 2:1 at home. The Longteng team not only retained their position in the list, but also had a 3-point gap with Evergrande.
, many media have even begun to speculate that Evergrande has begun to degenerate and has been pulled down from the altar.
Zhang Sheng doesn't pay much attention to these words from the outside world, because he has already begun to prepare for the fifth round of the Football Association Cup against Qingdao Zhongneng.
The Longteng team had met Qingdao Zhongneng before in last year's FA Cup. At that time, Qingdao Zhongneng was still a Chinese team. Because of the Football Association's FA Cup competition rules, the Longteng team could only play away games in Qingdao, but this time the situation was reversed.
, the Longteng team became a Chinese team, and Qingdao Zhongneng became a Chinese League One team. However, due to the new competition rules of the Football Association, the Longteng team could only go to Qingdao to play away games. Anyway, no matter what the situation, in short, the Longteng team would suffer.
.
Compared with last year's Qingdao Zhongneng, the current Qingdao Zhongneng is even worse. Although they defeated two Chinese teams, Yatai and Greentown, to advance to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup, in the more important Chinese League One
The team is currently only ranked in the middle. Although it has not completely lost the opportunity to get back to the middle, judging from the current state of the team, it is basically a dream to make a breakthrough. If there are no major changes, according to Zhang
The memory of Sheng will get worse and worse after Qingdao Zhongneng, and he will eventually have to hang out in Zhongyi.
Because judging from Qingdao Zhongneng’s signings and coaching changes this season, they don’t seem to want to rush forward. First of all, the difficulties they encountered were due to Liu Jian’s transfer case, and they were deducted 7 points by the Football Association at the beginning of the game.
Then they introduced several foreign players. Although they were all so-called international players, they were all fringe international players from countries like Honduras and Costa Rica, or they were players simply eliminated from the foreign players. In terms of domestic players, the introduced Mao Jianqing
Physical training was not systematic. At that time, he went to Beijing Baxi, but because Baxi could not afford the transfer fee, he was loaned to Qingdao Zhongneng. As a result, it was already the final stage of winter training in Qingdao, and he missed the critical period of physical reserve.
As for the other players, although they are somewhat famous, their abilities are mediocre. Compared with the large investment of the rich teams in the Chinese League, they are far inferior.
As for the coach, Li Xiaopeng was fired at the beginning of the season during the break and replaced by Tomas Kavjic, the head coach of the Slovenia U21 national team. Their coaching ability is really average.
In this game, Qingdao Zhongneng played all the main players, and the Longteng team rested several players who played the whole game. However, Ben Alpha was arranged by Zhang Sheng again. Zhang Sheng's intention was
I want him to hone his new kicking skills in the game.
Ben Alpha also lived up to Zhang Sheng’s hopes. In the first half, he used his pass to help Zou Weijia, who was about to be selected for the Olympic team, open the scoring. Then Yu Bo took advantage of the corner kick and scored a header to change the score.
It became o:2.
Although the Zhongneng team got a goal back from Zou Zheng in the second half, Lu Zhihui’s header brought the score gap back to two goals. With Lu Zhihui’s goal, the game was basically over, but
What made Zhang Sheng angry was that Qingdao Zhongneng's players made too many moves, causing Tao Wentao to get injured and leave the field. The Longteng team lost a powerful rotation player in the midfield.
After the game, Zhang Sheng didn't care much about advancing to the FA Cup. Instead, he quickly went to the team doctor to ask about Tao Wentao's injury. Fortunately, Tao Wentao's injury was not serious and he would be able to return in just one month, which made Zhang Sheng comfortable.
Take a breath, now the team's players have to face a three-line battle, no matter which player is injured, it will be a huge loss.
After two consecutive away games, the Longteng team flew back to Jiangcheng. This time the Longteng team faced the challenge of Shanghai Greenland. This game was very nerve-wracking for Zhang Sheng, because the continuous flights made the players' physical fitness reach a certain level.
limit, and the call-up list for the Olympic team has been officially determined. As many as five players from the Longteng team have been selected. Even Xiao Yunfan, who the club has always refused to accept, is also on the list, which makes Zhang Sheng very worried.
Finally, under the persuasion of the Hubei Provincial Football Association, Zhang Sheng had to let go, because it was impossible for the club to fall out with the Chinese Football Association because of a player, let alone save the face of the Provincial Football Association. After all, he still had to make a living under them. If it really happened
There was a stalemate, and the opponent secretly tried to use some tricks. The team was really in trouble.
Zhang Sheng can only sigh that it is not easy to be in a Chinese club.
In the final arrangement of Shanghai Greenland, Zhang Sheng had to let Yan Xiaoyu and Ni Kai enter the squad.
During the game, the impact of the continuous travel and travel came out. Many players seemed very tired. Whether they were passing, receiving or attacking, there was obviously a big gap from before. What made Zhang Sheng even more unhappy was Ben Alpha.
performance.
At the same time, Ben Alpha himself felt very awkward. In the past, when the football fell to his feet, he didn't have to think at all. He rushed forward with the ball, met the opponent's interception, and passed him. If he felt that the situation was good, he would simply make a move.
Dragon. If the situation is not good, then do a trick and pass the football with your heel.
But it didn't work now. Zhang Sheng repeatedly asked him to change his playing style and insisted on insisting on it at great risk. He had to consider the mood of Zhang Sheng, the head coach.
The head coach asked him to play the ball as soon as possible. In other words, after he got the ball from the wing, he would either cut in quickly to attract the attention of the opponent's defender, pull out the space on the wing, and then move the football to the wing.
, for the left back who inserted behind, if the opponent's midfielder also comes to help defend, it is left to the players in the center to quickly organize the attack when the opponent's midfielder is out of position.
This way of playing is different from what he used to do, so now he always has to pause when he gets the ball, forcibly suppressing his inner desire to express himself, forcing himself to calm down and serve the whole team. This is the same as when he played football for so many years.
His habits are really out of place.
So he himself played awkwardly.
Sometimes when he remembered, he would pass the football to his teammates. Sometimes when he couldn't remember, he just rushed over with the ball. Thinking about it afterwards, he quickly looked to the sidelines and saw Zhang Sheng.
Is shaking his head.
So next time I repeatedly reminded myself to pay attention to the cooperation of the whole team and the movement of my teammates. But people are very strange creatures. The more they care about something, the worse they do.
When his teammates passed the ball to Ben Alpha again, he simply stopped the ball...
Zhang Sheng looked at Ben Alpha's performance and couldn't help but sigh, and then lowered his head. He couldn't bear to witness it. He could see that Ben Alpha was also working hard, but it was precisely because of this that he couldn't bear to see it.
.
Because Ben Alpha works so hard, but habits are not easy to change. It doesn't take a day to freeze three feet. This is also the problem with Ben Alpha.
At the same time, the opponent in this game, Shanghai Shenhua, played impressively. Sun Yu, who plays the defensive midfielder position, has completely integrated into Shenhua's team after more than half a season of running-in.
The last game was due to Sun Yu's yellow card absence, which caused them to lose 0:3 at home to Beijing Guoan. The outside media unanimously believed that Shenhua would be much better if Sun Yu was on the court. This shows his importance to the team.
sex.
Another advantage of Sun Yu against the Longteng team is that he is very familiar with the Longteng team's playing style and knows some of the Longteng team's little tricks in offense. He can always use this to predict some of the Longteng team's passes, and has some skills in the midfield.
It increases the possibility of interception. At the same time, the ability and habit of passing the ball quickly that he developed in the Longteng team also make Shenhua's midfielder very fast in the transition between offense and defense.
Even the commentator responsible for commentating on this game kept praising him: "Sun Yu, this player, the Longteng team really shouldn't let go. Looking at his performance on the court, even if he can't play as the main force in the Longteng team, he should be regarded as
The important rotation players are more than enough."
At the same time, the commentator also questioned Zhang Sheng's insistence on using Ben Alpha: "Ben Alpha's performance so far in this game has been a disaster. I don't know why coach Zhang Sheng insists on using him."
At this time, Zhang Sheng was indeed considering whether to let Ben Alpha rest. In addition to the change in his playing style, his poor condition was probably also due to continuous battles. He was not in the best physical condition to begin with.
It's time to take a rest.
At the end of the first half, the Longteng team, which was playing at home, returned to the lounge with a score of o:o. During the halftime break, Zhang Sheng also made adjustments to the players. He first asked about Ben Alpha's situation.
Ben Alpha told Zhang Sheng frankly that his physical fitness was indeed a bit weak.
Zhang Sheng decisively replaced him with Bo, hoping that the team's offense would improve in the second half.
