Compared with the performance in the last game, which was still acceptable, Ben Alpha was a little out of shape in this game. He made many mistakes in the midfield, which made the team's offense always slow. Zhang Sheng felt very disappointed.
distressed.
For a while, Zhang Sheng even wanted to substitute Ben Alpha directly, but Ben Alpha quickly rewarded Zhang Sheng's trust. He sent a beautiful assist before the end of the first half. This time it was
He dribbled the ball horizontally from the left and was unable to dodge the angle of his shot. Then he suddenly provided an assist to Ding Huaiyi who came in from behind.
Ding Huaiyi entered the penalty area in time when Ben Alpha passed the ball, and then decisively shot. The shot hit the far post. Ding Huaiyi picked up the ball with the inside of his foot and drew an arc. Guangzhou
R&F goalkeeper Zhang Shichang was slow to save and could only watch the ball fly into the net. The Longteng team finally equalized the score before the end of the first half.
After the goal was scored, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, and the Longteng players finally entered the halftime locker room with a calmer attitude.
In the locker room, Ben Alpha took the initiative to find Zhang Sheng and suggested that he only had 20 minutes of physical fitness at most in the second half. After Zhang Sheng thought for a while, he immediately made adjustments. He asked Ben Alpha to rest in the second half and Yu Bo
Come on as a substitute.
During the halftime break, Zhang Sheng continued to encourage the players: "I know you are very tired from the continuous games, but now is the time to show your strength. Everyone bites the bullet. As long as everyone plays well in the second half, after this game,
I'll give everyone a day off."
Zhang Sheng's promise is still very motivating. In the second half, the players executed Zhang Sheng's midfield tactics very well. Everyone was not in a hurry to shoot, but mobilized the opponent through skillful passing and receiving in the midfield, putting
The opponent comes out to grab it.
This strategy was very effective for the weak Longteng team. Everyone reduced some running. Although the rhythm seemed slow, the defensive stability was improved a lot.
At the same time, Ding Huaiyi, the offensive breakthrough point arranged by Zhang Sheng, also completed the task very well. In the 21st minute of the second half, after consecutive passes and receptions, he suddenly started a breakthrough and shook off the double-teaming of two Guangzhou R&F players.
The ball was passed to Wenkai, who had been running between the opponent's two central defenders. Because the ball was passed after destroying R&F's defense, it was very sudden and he had been directing the defense on the central defender line.
Wang Peng was a little unprepared in his position, and Wen Kai successfully grabbed the point easily. Wen Kai used a beautiful kick to break through the gate guarded by Zhang Shichang.
The Dragons lost 2:1.
Zhang Sheng was relieved when he saw this goal, because the Longteng team, which had taken the lead, could more easily pass the ball down in the midfield.
The players on the field also resolutely implemented the tactics arranged by Zhang Sheng, which made Guangzhou R&F, who was eager to attack, lose their temper. Especially when Zhang Sheng replaced Ding Huaiyi with Zhang Hao, the defense on the right became stronger.
After a while, Guangzhou R&F basically didn’t have many scoring chances.
In the end, the Longteng team defeated their opponent 2:1 at their home court and got precious three points. Even though both their opponents, Guangzhou Evergrande and Beijing Guoan, won, they were not left behind.
At the same time, this game also greatly boosted the team's morale and laid a solid foundation for the team to prepare for the AFC Champions League.
The victory in this game also brought Zhang Sheng's summoning points to 100 points, and he was finally able to summon the coach again.
Soon Zhang Sheng summoned the system girl, and then purchased two youth training coaches from the mall. After the purchase was successful, Zhang Sheng saw the information of these two coaches. They were two young youth training coaches.
He is a domestic coach, and he is from an authentic academic background.
On the second day after the call, the two coaches came to the Longteng Club together. August is now the time when college students across the country are looking for jobs after graduation, and most of the capable and well-connected students have already gone to work.
, most of the remaining graduates are either not strong enough, or have nothing to do with it. Of course, the two coaches summoned this time are not among them. They have their own reasons for coming to Longteng Club now.
.
In fact, the two of them had already found jobs very early, and they went to the Shenzhen Red Diamonds, a former strong team in the Chinese League One. Moreover, the youth training director of the Red Diamonds personally contacted the two of them through a teacher at Beijing Sports University.
They dug it up, but what they never expected was that when they entered the club, they found that the club was already heavily in debt, and there was panic within the club.
On the evening of July 15, the Football Association Cup match between Shenzhen Red Diamonds and Shandong Luneng brought to the surface the problem of long-term wage arrears accumulated by Shenzhen Red Diamonds - Shenzhen football players first pulled out a banner on the court before the start of the game: "Request
With the help of the Government Football Association, the player's life can no longer be maintained, please give me back my hard-earned money!" After the opening whistle, 11 players stood in their own half with their backs to their opponents for half a minute to protest against the club's unpaid wages.
Next, a four-member investigation team from the Disciplinary Committee of the Chinese Football Association and the Legal Department met with the players and club management respectively in the morning and afternoon of the 17th to understand the situation of unpaid wages.
Of course, it is the government departments that are actually responsible for this matter. As a social group, the Football Association only has the power of supervision. With their support, some players from the Shenzhen Football Association went to the Shenzhen Labor Dispute Arbitration Court and submitted arbitration application forms, wage arrears, labor contracts and
ID card and other information, the labor arbitration department will accept the application on the same day.
This appeal plunged Shenzhen Red Diamonds into complete chaos. First, goalkeeper Zhang Xunwei said that he had submitted an application to the Chinese Football Association by mail two weeks ago, hoping to obtain a free agency ruling.
Under this situation, these two young youth training coaches have completely lost confidence in Shenzhen Red Diamonds. Even the club's most valuable asset, the main players, have begun to become disloyal. As coaches and echelon youth training coaches, they are even more disloyal.
They were minor characters that my grandma didn't care about and my uncle didn't love them. Fortunately, they signed a probationary contract and had not yet become a regular employee. When they saw that the momentum was not right, they started looking for new jobs everywhere.
The Dragons are the fifth club they have found. In most of the previous clubs, the positions of youth training coaches were filled by the club's connections - retired players, nephews of coaches, or connections in the local football circle -
The younger generation of leaders of provincial and municipal football associations and the younger generation of veterans in the football circle are occupied. The only clubs that recruit externally trained youth training coaches, such as Guangzhou Evergrande, have already recruited their favorite personnel.
Not to mention that there are still many clubs whose echelons are not complete at all. The so-called echelons are completely put together to cope with the Football Association's regulations that each club must have its own echelon. As two young people with excellent grades and arrogance, they
Of course I wouldn't go to a club like this.
In fact, it is difficult for graduates like the two of them to gain a foothold in the Chinese Football Club, let alone the Chinese Football Club. The "inbreeding" within the Chinese football circle has long been an open secret. If there are no elders in the family,
When working in football, it is still very difficult to break into this circle.
Fortunately, Longteng Club met such conditions. As a club that was marginalized in Hubei Province and did not have many resources, it started from scratch. In addition, Zhang Sheng’s disdain for most people in the domestic circle meant that many of them had professional backgrounds.
The coaches have all been reused. As top students from Beijing Sports, the two of them are highly valued by the club's recruitment staff, and their information was quickly delivered to Heike Fogel's desk.
After Heiko Fogel interviewed them, he also recognized their abilities. Moreover, the departure of the coaches who had retired players from Longteng Football School also made him fearful of coaches with a football background.
Coaches with background have preferences.
Therefore, their information was handed over to Zhang Sheng by Heike Fogel. Zhang Sheng quickly confirmed that they were the coaches summoned by the system. Judging from their information, these two were named
Strictly speaking, a young man named Feng Qi is indeed very outstanding. They obtained the AFC B-level coaching qualification certificate during their studies from undergraduate to graduate school. They worked part-time in amateur clubs during school, and they are considered capable.
As coaches with certain experience, they would not have left the club rashly if there were no problems with the Shenzhen Red Diamonds.
After talking to the two of them in person, the two of them were considered to have officially joined the job. Zhang Sheng arranged for the two of them to the newly opened Huangshi branch and asked them to assist the branch coach's work, and promised that if they performed well, they would be offered the job.
The opportunity to study abroad in a European football powerhouse was a promise that received an enthusiastic response from both of them.
After completing the call, Zhang Sheng quickly forgot about this matter, because the next game was too important - the Longteng team will face Guangzhou Evergrande in the AFC Champions League at home.
Because of the regulations of the Asian Championship format, the Longteng team, as a team with few points in the history of the AFC Champions League, was arranged by the AFC to play the schedule of first home and then guest. Anyone familiar with football games knows that playing first home and then guest is not a good schedule.
Because after the first game at home, the team lost its backup plan. Especially after conceding a goal at home, it would be easy to be targeted by the opponent if it went to the away game to win back.
However, for Zhang Sheng, the team's current strategy of playing home first and then away is better, because a big advantage of playing home games first is that the Longteng team does not have to fly to Guangzhou to play away games. In addition, the last game of the Chinese League Longteng
The team is playing at home, so two consecutive home games can give the team a chance to rest. Players like Ben Alpha get a rare chance to breathe. Zhang Sheng can rest assured that he can rush for a while in the game.
Rush without worrying about physical fitness.
In addition, Zhang Sheng adheres to the principle of rotation in these rounds, and the main team such as Wen Kai, Lin Feng, Ding Huaiyi, McGowan, and Zhou Zhou will be much better physically.
However, Zhang Sheng also has many headaches in this game. The first is how to score goals on the front line.
Pato did not sign up due to injury, and Zou Weijia was transferred away from the Olympic team. Now there is only Wenkai, a qualified player at the center position. However, Wenkai's strength is not enough to suppress Guangzhou Evergrande's luxurious back line.
The fatal problem is that Wenkai's shooting skills are too far behind Pato. Compared with Guangzhou Evergrande's forward Elkeson, the two are not at the same level. Wenkai is even similar to Gilardino.
Less - In any case, Gilardino is also a main player for the mid-range teams in the five major European leagues, even if his current state is not satisfactory.
Another issue that worries Zhang Sheng more is the goalkeeper. In the last round of the AFC Champions League, Zhou Wei got a red card for his reckless attack, which caused a big problem with the Longteng team's goalkeeper position - there was no qualified one.
Substitute.
As a substitute goalkeeper, Song Jianhua may still be able to play as a substitute in the Chinese League One, but when it comes to mid-level competitions, there are too many loopholes that can be exploited by opponents, let alone against a dominant team like Guangzhou Evergrande.
Watching the games Song Jianhua played, except for the match against the Chinese second-division team Lijiang Jiayunhao, where he did not concede a goal, he conceded at least one goal in the other games, and sometimes as many as two. This is still in
Achieve results under the protection of a midfielder with top-level defensive ability. Once you encounter a team like Guangzhou Evergrande, when the midfielders focus on the defense of the midfield and cannot worry about protecting the goal, maybe
A high-quality shot from Elkeson or Gilardino will cause the city goal to fall, not to mention that there are free kick masters like Diamanti in the Guangzhou Evergrande team.
Any free kick from close range in the frontcourt would make Zhang Sheng's heart tremble.
The last thing that worries Zhang Sheng is Ben Alpha's condition. After these games, Zhang Sheng also came to the conclusion that when Ben Alpha is physically fit, he can compare in most situations.
He completed Zhang Sheng's tactical arrangements satisfactorily, and sometimes even performed amazingly, but once his physical fitness was insufficient, he was in a dilemma in breakthroughs and passes, and his performance was terrible. Zhang Sheng really
It's not certain whether Ben Alpha, who is physically strong, can perform well in a game like Evergrande, a team with stronger pressing, more intense confrontation capabilities, and stricter tactical arrangements.
Once Ben Alpha cannot perform well, how to change his formation is a question that must be considered.
Zhang Sheng's previous approach was to let Yu Bo directly replace Ben Alpha, but now his opponent is a top coach like Lippi. The opponent will definitely make preparations for a back-up player like Zhang Sheng. Maybe the Evergrande team will target this now.
There are already n ways to deal with substitutions.
Before solving these problems, Zhang Sheng is really unsure about this game, but Zhang Sheng believes in the ability of his coaching staff, and his opponent Guangzhou Evergrande will not be without troubles.
