During the two games of the national team, three players in Europe specifically called Zhang Sheng to report on their situation in Europe.
This season's Red Bull Salzburg has so far continued the highlight performance of last season. In the Austrian League that has already started, they have scored 5:0, 6:1 and even 8:0 in many games.
The victory was achieved by a score that seemed completely unaffected by the large number of players leaving at the beginning of the season and the poaching of coaches. Qin Minghao, who successfully recovered from his injury during the preparation period before the game, performed very well in the game. His performance in the midfield
Organization and offense have attracted the attention of many European teams.
For example, on the phone, Qin Minghao was in a good mood. He introduced the team's situation and his own performance to Zhang Sheng with a high-spirited expression. However, Zhang Sheng thought that the situation was not as easy as he thought.
Zhang Sheng knew that it was not easy for Red Bull Salzburg to win the Austrian League championship in history. In the end, it was only 6 points more than the second place. It was completely different from last season's lead of nearly 20 points to win the championship.
Zhang Sheng had to remind on the phone: "Don't be too happy. The frontcourt players in your team have suffered heavy losses. Several breakthrough points have been reduced a lot. Now your opponents are not familiar with them yet. Once we enter the middle of the season,
, they are familiar with your routines, and the game will not be so easy."
Qin Minghao, who was interrupted by Zhang Sheng, immediately became serious and said quickly: "I remember, boss, I will become smarter during the game and come up with more ways to help the team.
.”
Obviously, he also heard Zhang Sheng's fear that he was greedy for comfort and unwilling to make progress, so he was smart and decisively accepted Zhang Sheng's opinion.
Zhang Sheng also nodded and said: "As long as you know, how to find a way forward in difficulties is a process that a player must go through. I know you are very smart, and you are the kind of player who uses his brain to play football. If you work hard, maybe you can
I will send you a teammate by the middle of the season."
"Oh! Really? Who is it? Is Ding Huaiyi coming over?" Qin Minghao said excitedly, "That's great. With him helping me, I guarantee that I can make the team stronger."
Zhang Sheng also warned: "If Ding Huaiyi passes away, you must help him integrate into the team quickly."
"That's for sure, boss, don't worry, as long as he comes here, I will take good care of him." Qin Minghao said.
After finishing the call with Qin Minghao, Li Yun's call came soon. On the phone, Li Yun seemed more confident than Qin Minghao. This was also his true character. He first greeted Zhang Sheng, his wife and
Zhang Sheng’s child then reported on his performance at Red Bull Leipzig.
Because the Bundesliga 2 started relatively late, Red Bull Leipzig has just played four rounds and performed pretty well, with two wins and two draws, and they have not conceded a goal in four games. This is of course not the same as Li Yun in the defense.
related to outstanding performance.
But Zhang Sheng knew that Leipzig started high and started low this season. They invested a lot of money to buy players at the beginning of the season, but they continued to stumble in subsequent games, especially on the offensive end. They performed relatively weakly, and finally only finished fifth in the Bundesliga 2.
, the armor rush failed.
However, Zhang Sheng knew that this had nothing to do with Li Yun, so on the phone, Zhang Sheng just encouraged Li Yun to continue working hard, strive to maintain a firm position in the team, and be prepared for a long-term war.
Of course, Zhang Sheng is relatively reassured about Li Yun, because he knows that Li Yun is a player who seems careless, but is very independent and has a strong will.
After Li Yun humbly accepted Zhang Sheng's opinion, he ended the call.
The last person to call was Xu Mingyu. He has become the team's main force this season and is highly valued by the team's head coach. The team has been cultivating him as the core of the future. After all, Xu Mingyu is only 19 years old now.
.
Xu Mingyu is still very confident in himself. He still insists on playing in the Sporting Lisbon B team, and then looks for opportunities to join the Sporting Lisbon first team.
Of course Zhang Sheng would not undermine Xu Mingyu's self-confidence, but fully respect his choice and let him work hard to pursue his ideals.
During this vacation, Zhang Sheng not only spent time with his family, trained the remaining players, and paid attention to the national team, he also paid attention to the games of the national junior team. After all, there are many players from the Longteng team in the national junior team.
The National Youth Team participating in the Asian Youth Football Championship this time is the domestic U15 echelon. Due to the neglect of youth training in recent years, this National Youth Team in history has been miserable. According to Zhang Haitao, the head coach of the National Youth Team, in an interview
You can tell from the information revealed by complaining that Zhang Haitao has searched all over the country for suitable-age players, and there are only 42 players for him to choose from. In a country with a total population of more than one billion and hundreds of millions of suitable-age people, there are only a mere 42.
Players can choose, which shows how embarrassing the youth training of Chinese football has become.
The famous football commentator Huang Jianxiang once lamented on Weibo after the national youth team lost a game in history: "It's not surprising that the U16 national youth team lost to Australia by a big score. There are 98 children in the country who can play football for selection."
42, which is less than the number of giant pandas in Wolong Nature Reserve in 2011 (165). Children playing football are already rare species, so don’t blame the children and coaches."
In real history, this Asian Junior Championship held in Bangkok, Thailand also ended with a disastrous defeat for the national junior team. They first lost to the Australian team 0:3, and then lost to the Japanese team 0:3. Although they ended up losing 2
:0 defeated Hong Kong, China, but the ending was still dismal - eliminated early.
Compared with the history of China's national junior team winning the championship in 1992 and 2004 respectively, this historical national junior team can be called a fish belly.
But now the situation is different. Because of the participation of Longteng team players, the strength of this national junior team has improved a lot. In addition to Nie Jiang, Huang Dawei, Xiang Tiange, Liming, Zeng Fansheng, Shen Junhe, this team
In addition to several system summon players like Cao Jinghao, there are also non-system summon players trained by the Longteng team represented by Wang Xing.
Therefore, Zhang Sheng pays great attention to this Asian Youth Championship. This is the first time that the Longteng team has sent non-system summoned players to participate in a regular international competition, which best reflects the results of the Longteng team's own youth training.
The national junior team, which was mainly composed of players from the Dragon Team, did not disappoint Zhang Sheng. In the first game against Australia, Nie Jiang performed very well. Although it rained heavily during the game, China, which is accustomed to ground cooperation, performed very well.
The team was very uncomfortable playing, but Nie Jiang still used his keen sense of smell in front of the goal to open the scoring.
The Chinese team, which was leading by one goal, had a very difficult time playing in the heavy rain. The Australian players were all tall and strong. They used their physical advantages to insist on playing high-altitude balls, which made the Chinese team very difficult to play.
However, this year's national junior team, from the goalkeeper to three of the four defenders and two midfielders, are all players summoned by the system. Their technical abilities are very outstanding. In addition, Huang Dawei's performance is very stable. Although Australia's offensive is fierce
, but did not score a goal.
After the second half, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the water on the field became more and more serious. Australia also played more fiercely. In the 13th minute of the second half, because the ball was too slippery, Huang Dawei missed the ball and was replaced by an Australian player.
The shot was successful and the score was evened.
Just three minutes later, Australia used its own header to score another goal from a corner kick, and the Chinese team fell behind.
Fortunately, Nie Jiang took advantage of his super talent and retaliated with a beautiful long-range shot before the end of the game, rewriting the score to 2:2. In the end, the national junior team won a difficult victory under unfavorable weather conditions.
Got one point.
During the match against Japan on September 8, the weather was still raining heavily, but now it was the national junior team that used physical confrontation and height advantage to bully the Japanese team.
Shortly after the start, left midfielder Cao Jinghao used his quick breakthrough to break into the penalty area and win a penalty kick. Nie Jiang scored in one stroke.
Next, although the Japanese team kept threatening the Chinese team's goal with long shots, they were all blocked by Huang Dawei. On the contrary, the Chinese team took advantage of their height and scored a header from Wang Xing in the corner kick.
Extended the score to 2:0.
The rain weakened a lot after the second half, and the Japanese team finally attacked. They used their skillful overall footwork to play very well. In the 57th minute, the Japanese team passed the ball, and Guo Tianyu, the only defender who was not a Longteng player, slipped at his feet.
He fell to the ground and was successfully picked up by the Japanese forward. Japan got a goal back.
However, the national junior team soon took advantage of the long-term cooperation between the Longteng players and made a series of beautiful midfield passes. Finally, Nie Jiang scored a goal, extending the score to 3:1.
In the end, the Chinese team also scored a difficult 3 points.
In the last round of the game, China defeated Hong Kong 5:0, with Nie Jiang performing a hat trick; Australia took advantage of the rain to defeat Japan 2:0, so the Chinese team won the group by relying on goal difference.
First, Australia second, Japan was eliminated.
The Chinese team's opponent in the quarter-finals was Malaysia. Because the weather cleared up, the Chinese team's technical advantages at their feet were fully utilized and they completely controlled the situation on the court. In the end, they were eliminated 2:0 with the goals of Zeng Prosperity and Nie Jiang.
opponent.
After four games, Nie Jiang has scored eight goals. He has become the most dazzling figure in this Asian Youth Championship, even surpassing Lee Seung-woo, who is known as the "Korean Messi".
China's semi-final opponent is the North Korean team, the historical champion of this Asian Junior Championship. Historically, North Korea also relied on this championship to win the Asian Junior Championship twice in four years. However, facing the Chinese team, they obviously did not pass so easily.
.
Because starting from 2008, the top four in the Asian Minor Championship will qualify for the U17 World Cup, so the third and fourth place finals in the Asian Minor Championship will also be cancelled. Therefore, although the Chinese team has qualified for the 2015 Chile U17 World Cup, once it fails,
, this Asian Junior Championship is over, how can the proud and arrogant Longteng players admit defeat.
After the start, the two sides played very anxiously. The North Korean players played hard against the Chinese team. The Chinese fans who were lucky enough to watch the game jokingly said: "You can't do it if you don't work hard, otherwise you will have to dig coal when you go back."
.”
However, football matches are not won by desperate efforts. The Chinese team used their foot skills to firmly control the situation on the field. In the 34th minute of the first half, Nie Jiang continuously dribbled the ball horizontally on the penalty area line.
After getting out of the gap, he decisively shot the ball. The ball flew into the net quickly and urgently, and the Chinese team took a 1:0 lead.
But after all, not all the players of the Chinese team are called by the Dragons. Those non-Longteng players were too slow and made frequent mistakes under North Korea's crazy pressing, giving the North Korean team opportunities. Before the end of the first half, China
The team's Naxi young midfielder He Xin was out of position defensively, and the North Korean team's Han Guangsong scored to equalize the score.
In the second half, the North Korean team played even more crazily. In the 65th minute, the North Korean team's Choi Ho-hyuk caught the Chinese team's frontcourt Zhang Huachen's pass error and quickly counterattacked to score another victory. The Chinese team fell behind.
The lagging Chinese team made continuous substitutions and sent non-summoned players from the Longteng team onto the field. These young players who had played with the summoned players for a long time showed more adaptability to the tactical system, which reduced the Chinese team's low-level mistakes a lot. Nie Jiang
He finally had support from behind. After stretching the North Korean team's defense, he sent a second pass to Zeng Prosperity. Zeng Prosperity passed the North Korean team's center back in front of the penalty area and hit the goal successfully. The two sides returned to the same starting line.
As the game time went by, the physical fitness of both sides declined, and the game ended with 2:2. In the penalty shootout, the Chinese team performed even better. The free throw shooters made 4 of 5 free throws, and Huang Dawei saved his opponent.
Two penalty kicks, defeated the opponent with a total score of 6-5 and entered the final.
In the final, the Chinese team's opponent was the South Korean team, and the star Lee Seung-woo of the South Korean team expressed his confidence that he would win the championship.
Of course he also has reasons to be confident.
Lee Seung-woo is known as the first talented boy in Korean history. He was born on January 6, 1998 and is known as the "Korean Messi". His scoring rate when he was in the Barcelona U15 team was even higher than Messi. Lee Seung-woo
He also studied in Real Madrid and Bayern's youth team. He dropped out of the first grade of junior high school and switched to La Masia. He currently plays for Barcelona's youth A team. Barcelona was banned from transfers in two transfer windows by FIFA, including the signing of Li Keqiang.
The reason for Shengyou.
Li Shengyou said in an interview before the game: "The championship is an honor we must win, because we are a championship team. Although our opponent the Chinese team this time is very strong, we will definitely win in the end.
"
Hearing Li Shengyou's words, Nie Jiang curled his lips and said, "The toad yawned!"
