After thinking for a while, Ivo made his choice: "I think I am still more adaptable to the attacking midfielder's style of play, but I will work hard to adapt to your tactics. I will try my best to adapt to your tactics in future games."
Work harder.”
Hearing Ivo's rather tactful rejection, Zhang Sheng also expressed his understanding. Every player has his own preferences, and every player must have his own plan for his career path, as long as it does not involve issues of professional ethics or game attitude.
, Zhang Sheng will not interfere too much, but Ivo's position in the team is obviously not very stable in the future. After all, who asked him to reject his arrangement? Maybe Ivo already had this in mind when he decided to reply to him like this.
Be mentally prepared.
After finishing the conversation with Ivo, Zhang Sheng, who knew what was going on, had already started preparing for the next round of the AFC Champions League.
After the last round of competition, both the Longteng team and Guangzhou Evergrande exposed their weaknesses and also revealed their strong strength. Both sides began to digest the previous round of competition silently and prepare for the second round of the competition next week.
Make preparations.
Of course, both sides still have a Chinese Super League game to participate in before. In this continuous high-level confrontation, the team's performance depends on the stability of the team and the depth of the club's bench.
In this regard, there is a world of difference between the Longteng team and Guangzhou Evergrande.
After challenging the Longteng team in the away game, Guangzhou Evergrande went all the way to challenge the old powerhouse Shanghai Shenhua in the away game. In this game, Guangzhou Evergrande made a big rotation of the team. The central defender combination became Feng Xiaoting and Mei Fang.
With the double combination, Zheng Zhi, who was suspended from the AFC Champions League, also started the game. Rene and Liao Lisheng played together in the defensive midfielder. In addition, Yu Hanchao and Zheng Long were rotated in the frontcourt. Guangzhou Evergrande can be said to be playing with a second lineup.
League, and every one of them is a national-level player.
Soon Evergrande took a 2:0 lead in the first half. Although Feng Xiaoting, Zheng Zhi and Elkeson were given a rest in the second half for the second round of the AFC Champions League, the team still withstood Shanghai Shenhua's desperate counterattack and finally won
Won the opponent with a score of 1:2.
Compared with Guangzhou Evergrande, the Longteng team played very hard. In this game, the Longteng went to Guiyang to challenge the Guizhou Renhe. Although the Guizhou Renhe team was at odds with each other this season and was not in a good position to recruit, they were playing at home.
There is still enough confidence, and in order to consider the next AFC Champions League, Zhang Sheng has rotated the personnel. The center backs are Lu Zhihui and McGowan - of course there is a reason for starting this way - Guizhou native
He's long pass and lob tactics were very sharp. Zhang Sheng simply used two tall central defenders with strong heading ability; in the midfield, Ben Alpha's physical fitness has not yet recovered, Zhang Sheng took the place of Yubo, and Zhang Hao
Lin Feng was replaced in the starting lineup, and Yan Xiaoyu was started on the right wing. After the game, Ivo, who took the initiative to admit his mistake to Zhang Sheng, still played as an attacking midfielder, while Wen Kai continued to maintain full attendance.
In this game, the Longteng team lost a goal at the beginning. It was the starter Yan Xiaoyu who made the mistake. He mainly played in the middle of the midfield, and he played very awkwardly on the right. He suffered a lot in defense, with only 18 points.
At 2 years old, he was obviously inexperienced when facing the veterans of Guizhou Renhe. After being repeatedly broken through by the opponent, he lost a goal.
In order to save the situation, Zhang Sheng had to let Ding Huaiyi come on in the second half and replaced Yan Xiaoyu. Seeing Ding Huaiyi come on, Guizhou Renhe also very smartly retreated from the left. Ding Huaiyi's continuous attacks were blocked by the opponent's tight attack.
There was no success in the defensive formation. It was not until the end of the game that Ivo used his technical advantages to form a breakthrough in the middle, and then passed the ball straight to Ding Huaiyi who inserted behind him. Ding Huaiyi decisively kicked the ball and tied the score.
It became 1:1.
After equalizing the score, the Longteng team began to attack aggressively, but their lack of physical fitness made the final attack seem weak, and the game finally ended with a score of 1:1.
The most regrettable thing is Beijing Guoan. When the Dragons and Guangzhou Evergrande were fighting on two fronts, Beijing Guoan failed to seize the opportunity. They were tied 2:2 by Shandong Luneng in the away game and were dumped by Guangzhou Evergrande.
After opening 2 points, the Longteng team was even 3 points behind.
Guangzhou Evergrande's strong lineup and stable performance reflect its advantages.
After finishing the game with Guizhou Renhe, the Longteng team didn't have any chance to rest. They flew to Guangzhou early in the morning after the game. The second round of the AFC Champions League quarter-finals was about to start.
.
This game was a mixed bag for both sides.
First of all, the Longteng team finally has a reassuring player in the most important position - goalkeeper - Zhou Wei. Because he was suspended for one game in the last round of the AFC Champions League, he can finally play. This can be regarded as a relief.
Zhang Sheng took a reassurance.
Then, after careful care by the team doctor, Tao Wentao finally returned to the formation, adding a strong reinforcement to the Longteng team, which is currently short of major generals.
Of course, the Longteng team is not without worries. That is because Lu Zhihui received a yellow card in the last game. He cannot play in this game because he accumulated two yellow cards. The Longteng team is missing a real Evergrande nemesis. At the same time, the Longteng team is in its own situation.
The central defender position also lacks a player with strong high ball defense ability. Fortunately, McGowan can still take his place.
In fact, what worries Zhang Sheng the most is the team's physical problems. Due to continuous high-intensity games, players being transferred, and few bench players, the Longteng team has one person playing the leading role in many positions, such as the center position.
For so many games, Wen Kai has been gritting his teeth and holding on; the same is true on the right side of the midfield, the only person Zhang Sheng can trust is Ding Huaiyi; fortunately, after more than half a season of training in the Chinese Super League
, Ding Huaiyi's physical fitness has made a qualitative leap. Under such continuous high-intensity competition, he can basically play every game, which is very rare.
However, after this week's game is over, the team can have a short period of rest. Due to the international match day, the Chinese Super League will have a two-week truce in the next two weeks. The players in the team who are gritting their teeth and persisting can welcome
To take precious rest time, the prerequisite is to survive this game and a league game on the weekend. Of course, the few international players in the team are not included here, because they will participate in the national team training.
As early as a week ago, the head coach of the national team, Perlan, had communicated with various Chinese Super League clubs regarding the list of the national team's training camp. Of course, the Longteng team, which is a major player in the national football team, is indispensable.
There are as many as 7 Longteng players on the national team's training list this time, including forward Wen Kai, midfielders Lin Feng, Yu Bo and Ding Huaiyi, and backcourt players Ma Yongli, Zhou Zhou and Shu Jun. The only one who is better than Longteng
Only Guangzhou Evergrande has more players selected for the team. They have as many as 8 players selected. It can be said that the current Chinese national team is completely composed of the two teams, Longteng and Guangzhou Evergrande, as the backbone.
After arriving in Guangzhou, the Longteng team soon heard a very bad news, that is, the Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao team embodies the strength of a real rich man. Xu Jiayin has invited Jack Ma to Guangzhou to jointly supervise the team.
After watching the game, I believe that Evergrande players will fight to the death for the reversal. In addition to this spiritual spur, Ma Yun offered a man award of 20 million yuan. This is the first time that Ma Yun supervises the Evergrande game on the spot and gives it to the players.
The meeting gift, coupled with Guangzhou Evergrande's high reward policy of 3 million per game, plus a goal difference plus 1 million, I believe that the players of Guangzhou Evergrande will work very hard in this game.
Compared with Guangzhou Evergrande's rich move, the AFC Champions League victory bonus offered by the Longteng team is only a measly 3 million. Although this bonus is not low in the Chinese Super League, it is not enough to face such a high bonus from the opponent.
look.
After hearing the news, facing the astonished players one by one, Zhang Sheng smiled and said: "How about it, everyone is envious, right?"
How dare the players praise their opponents in front of Zhang Sheng? All they could do was shake their heads and say, "I don't envy you, I don't envy you."
Zhang Sheng looked disapproving: "Don't be pretentious. I envy them all. If you don't envy them all, whoever thinks you have too much money, come and tell me and I will help you bear the burden."
Hearing Zhang Sheng's teasing, the players burst into laughter.
Zhang Sheng laughed and scolded, pointed at Yu Bo and said: "Yu Bo, you, you, it's you. You were the one who shouted the loudest when he said he was not envious just now. You are the one who laughs the loudest now. It seems like your skin is itchy. What's wrong?
?I just got selected for the national team, and my whole body has its tail raised? Do you want me to give you a special training to deepen your impression?"
"No, it's better not to do it, boss." Yu Bo said with a slanderous smile, "No matter how high their bonuses are, we still have to beat them!"
"That's very well said." Zhang Sheng couldn't help but applaud Yu Bo's answer. "There are many rich clubs, but it's not just money that can win the game. After all, football matches still have to be played by everyone."
Those who work hard, I’m not saying that in vain, no matter how well we play in this game, as long as everyone shows their own level, I will treat everyone to a feast, and I will pay for whatever they want to eat.”
"Yeah! Long live the boss!" The players below let out loud cheers.
At the same time, Zhang Sheng also eliminated the impact of Evergrande's high bonus on the team.
But as the head coach, Zhang Sheng not only needs to encourage morale, but also needs to take various situations in the game seriously, so he needs to be fully prepared.
Compared with the previous game, Guangzhou Evergrande has a very big change, that is, their captain Zheng Zhi has ended his suspension and will start the game. This is a big benefit to Guangzhou Evergrande, but it is not good for Long Teng.
The team is indeed a hurdle that must be overcome.
If Zheng Zhi can play, Guangzhou Evergrande's entire midfield will not only be able to play very smoothly, but a healthy Zheng Zhi's confrontation and interception abilities in the midfield are also second to none in the Chinese Super League, not to mention that due to the suspension, Zheng Zhi
Playing less games will give you a greater physical advantage.
With him on the court, he can complete the tasks that Zhao Xuyang and Gao Jun can complete together. In this way, Lippi can have more choices in the double midfielder position. When he wants to strengthen defense, he can send Zhao Xuyang
Come up to defend. When you need to attack, you can send Huang Bowen up and forward. Even when you need to strengthen the ball control in the midfield, you can have Gao Jun or Liao Lisheng come up to double control. With so many tactical routines, Zhang Sheng needs to think of all kinds of tactics.
ways to cope.
At the same time, how to limit Elkeson's performance is also an issue that Zhang Sheng must consider. Elkeson is in really good shape this season. His two goals in the last game made Guangzhou Evergrande extremely disadvantaged in the midfield.
How to equalize or even take the lead in this game has become a question that the Longteng coaching staff must consider.
Therefore, before the game, the Longteng team focused on two aspects of practice. One was for Ivo to strengthen the harassment and interception of Zheng Zhi, and the other was for McGowan to keep an eye on Elkeson, even if Elkeson
When he leaves the penalty area, another defensive midfielder needs to be there to keep an eye on him. He cannot be given a chance to start suddenly, even if he commits a foul.
When the Longteng team and Guangzhou Evergrande were undergoing intense pre-match training, the media also began to hype the game between the two sides. It just so happened that the national team training roster had just been released, and a large number of players from both sides were selected for the national team.
A hotly discussed topic.
Most of the conversation focused on the ages of the players on both sides.
Most of the Guangzhou Evergrande players selected for the Chinese national team are in the 85-89 age group. The oldest among them is Zhao Xuyang. This 1985 player is the oldest Guangzhou Evergrande player selected this time.
Yes, but news about Zhao Xuyang's age falsification has always been emerging one after another, and it is also true that his condition has declined year by year, which cannot help but make others suspicious.
In addition, players like Gao Lin were all born in 1987, and there are only a few players born in 1989, which means that most of these players are concentrated between the ages of 25-29, and this World Cup has just passed.
They will have to wait another four years to participate in the next World Cup. By then, most of these players will be between 29 and 33 years old, and have passed the golden age of a player.
Compared with the slightly older age of Guangzhou Evergrande, the players of the Longteng team are much younger. Among the players of the Longteng team selected for the national team this time, except for Wen Kai, who is 87 years old, it will be the golden age of a center - 31
Years old, most of the other players are now only 20 years old, Shu Jun is slightly older - 21 years old, and Ma Yongli is slightly younger - 19 years old. Four years later, it is the time when their experience, physical fitness, and skills have all become mature.
The future of the national team depends on them.
Moreover, several players currently studying abroad in Europe are also 20 years old, and it is a good time for them to increase their goals.
Many fans are looking forward to the bright future of this national team - there will be veterans, strong players in their prime, and young and energetic players. The age structure cannot be better.
