The day after the game, the team doctor conducted physical examinations on many players in the game, including Rock Gill, who was sent to the hospital during the game yesterday.
Judging from the players' own feedback and the team doctor's examination results, at least five players will not be able to participate in the next game.
First of all, Rock Gill was diagnosed with a bone fracture in the ribs, which is the fourth and fifth ribs on the left side. In order to protect Rock Gill's health, he had to rest for at least four weeks, because if the ribs were protected
No, once it breaks, it is very likely to penetrate into the internal organs, which is life-threatening.
Next is Zhou Zhou. The blood groove on his calf is very obvious. He was concentrated during the game and did not feel any pain. After the game, his muscles were swollen and it was very difficult to walk. He will not be able to participate for at least three weeks.
It's game.
What depresses Zhang Sheng the most is Zhou Wei.
During the game, Zhang Sheng was more worried about his condition. Sure enough, Zhou Wei took the initiative to find Li Xiang after the game, and he mentioned that his left shoulder felt very uncomfortable.
After examination by the team doctor, it was discovered that Zhou Wei's left shoulder bones were slightly dislocated, and it was not known how he persisted in the last game.
After Zhou Wei was injured, he did not receive timely treatment, which resulted in a serious injury. Judging from the team doctor's inference, Zhou Wei's injury will take at least one month to recover.
These three players alone are 100% unable to participate in the two rounds of the FA Cup.
At the same time, Ma Yongli and Shu Jun are still injured. They are both a little sore in their muscles and may be slightly strained. Whether they can play will depend on their recovery in the past few days before the next game.
After returning to Jiangcheng from Beijing, although the game was not won, Zhang Sheng still gave the players a day off. After all, the team had completed Zhang Sheng's pre-season strategic task - to qualify for the AFC Champions League.
The players took a breath of relief a little.
After staying in Jiangcheng for two days, Zhang Sheng flew to Jinan with the team.
This season, Shandong Luneng is only ranked fifth in the league, 7 points less than the fourth-place Guangzhou R&F, which is likely to enter the AFC Champions League next season, and 21 points less than the champion Guangzhou Evergrande.
These are teams from two different worlds. Guangzhou Evergrande belongs to the developed world, while Shandong Luneng can only be regarded as the third world.
If Shandong Luneng wants to qualify for the AFC Champions League next season, this game against the Longteng team is a must-win game, because according to the rules of the Football Association, the Longteng team, which was still in the A-League last season, has a better schedule.
--Home first, then away, then if you want to qualify, if you don't win at home, and if you want to win the Longteng team's away game, that's a fantasy.
Because there were too many injured soldiers in the team, Zhang Sheng, who came to Jinan this time, seemed very low-key: "Our current situation is quite difficult, and it is indeed difficult to arrange personnel, but we will overcome this difficulty."
Luneng coach Kuka seemed very confident: "Our goal in this game is to win."
Obviously Kuka knows that this game has become the test of this season. If the results are not good, no need to think about it, he will be dismissed 100% unless he can make a comeback in the away game.
After the game started, the Longteng team played really dull because there were too many new players on the field.
First of all, at the center position, Zhang Sheng replaced Wen Kai and replaced him with young player Zou Weijia. This was a relatively unexpected substitution, because there was no news about Wen Kai's injury before the game, so Zhang Sheng suddenly replaced him.
This is really hard for many people to understand.
In the frontcourt, the Longteng team has continued the lineup from the previous game, with Ben Arfa on the left, Pato in the middle, and Ding Huaiyi on the right. There has been a big adjustment in the midfielder position, with Tao Wentao and Roque Gill both playing.
Missing due to injury, the starting lineup is the combination of Ivo and Zhang Hao, with Zhang Hao as the main defender and Ivo as the main attacker.
Of course, the biggest change is in the backcourt, because Shu Jun, Ma Yongli, Zhou Zhou and Zhou Wei are all injured. The goalkeeper is Song Jianhua, the two center backs are McGowan and Lu Zhihui, and the two full backs are Xiao Yunfan and Wei Zhimin.
, it can be said that this defensive line is the biggest weakness of the Longteng team in this game.
At the beginning of the game, Shandong Luneng, playing at home, used all their strength and launched wave after wave of attacks. What they were looking for was Song Jianhua, the Longteng team's biggest weakness.
However, Song Jianhua performed very well in this game. With the help of McGowan and Lu Zhihui, two central defenders with very strong heading and confrontation abilities, Shandong Luneng tried to lob the ball into the penalty area to score but failed many times.
And return.
Although Luneng did not score a goal, the Longteng team still had nothing to do with Luneng, because the two midfielder players, Ivo, were still not familiar with their positions, and Zhang Hao did not have much offensive organization ability, so when switching from defense to offense,
At times, it always seemed not smooth, and Pato had to come back to get the ball many times.
Luneng also deployed heavy troops on the two wings in this game, always sending people to keep an eye on Ben Alpha and Ding Huaiyi, not giving them a chance to start a breakthrough. Once they had the idea of a breakthrough, they immediately resorted to fouling. At the same time, Xiao Yunfan and Wei Zhimin
There really wasn't much coordination with the two of them, and it was difficult to create a good coordination, which made the Longteng team's wing attack momentum weaken immediately.
Until the end of the first half, the score remained at 0:0.
Zhang Sheng is very satisfied with this result. If the score is still the same in the second half, when Tao Wentao and Shu Jun return to home and recover from their injuries, the Longteng team will have a chance.
Unfortunately, Zhang Sheng was hit quickly in the second half. Wei Zhimin made a low-level mistake in a pass from the backcourt, allowing Loew to seize the opportunity. He rushed into the penalty area and successfully smashed the ball against McGowan, breaking Song Jianhua's guard.
's door.
Shandong Luneng led 1:0.
After taking the lead, Shandong Luneng really showed momentum. As a team that is good at playing downwind, once they are allowed to fight, it will be very troublesome.
And trouble came soon. In the 58th minute, the combination of Loew, Montillo, and Uso played a beautiful combination. Montillo completed the final blow, and the score became
2:0.
To make matters worse, Luneng soon scored again. In the 63rd minute, Uso hit a beautiful long shot from outside the penalty area and hit the dead center of the goal, extending the score to 3:0.
Seeing the situation on the court, Zhang Sheng didn't have much to do. He had already put together the strongest lineup he could. With the game like this, he had no room for adjustments in terms of personnel.
However, Zhang Sheng still made substitutions. He replaced Zhang Hao with Yan Xiaoyu, and replaced a defensive midfielder with an offensive player in the middle of the midfield. Zhang Sheng finally gave it a try.
After Yan Xiaoyu came on the field, he showed his strong impact and posed a big threat to Shandong Luneng, who was pressing hard. This player who is less than 19 years old and has returned from studying in Russia is very much like a Russian player.
Style, strong impact, fast speed, quick feet, especially suitable for counterattacks.
After continuously threatening Luneng's goal, Luneng also slowed down their offensive pace. Of course, the most important thing was their old problem - lack of physical fitness.
It is quite ironic that Luneng, who was waiting for work at home, was physically out of shape before the Longteng team, which flew over a long distance.
The subsequent game became a siege of Shandong Luneng by the Longteng team, but the Longteng team was unable to score a goal until one minute before the end of the game. Ni Kai, who was replaced in the second half, passed a pass from the left, and Yan Xiaoyu
In the penalty area, Wang Dalei pounced on a point in the penalty area. Zou Weijia used his body to squeeze away Zhao Mingjian, and then pushed the ball into the goal to tie the score to 3:1, which saved the Longteng team some hope of a home comeback.
After this game, the outside world unanimously believed that it was unlikely that the Longteng team would win the FA Cup again.
Zhang Sheng didn't want to give up such an opportunity. Since he had already reached the FA Cup final, it would be a shame not to give it a try.
However, this game was scheduled for two weeks later because the international match day came again.
In the past two weeks, the Chinese national team and the Chinese Olympic team will also be training again, and many players from the Longteng team are on the list.
The Chinese national team will play two warm-up matches with the New Zealand team and the Honduras team, while the Olympic team will participate in the China Team Four Nations Football Invitational Tournament in Jiangcheng. The opponents are South Korea, Australia and Brazil.
The task of the Chinese national team in the two games is very clear, which is to grab FIFA points, because the seeding team for the 2018 World Cup Asian Qualifiers will be determined directly based on the world rankings. The Chinese team, currently ranked 9th in Asia, will be grouped for future qualifiers.
, we must actively seize the opportunity to grab ranking points and hit the top 8 in Asia.
Because Longteng and Shandong Luneng still have the second round of the FA Cup to play, both clubs have agreed with the national team that no players from these two teams will be included in the second warm-up match.
Then facing New Zealand is a point-grabbing game, and China must win.
The team with Longteng and Guangzhou Evergrande as the backbone did not waste this opportunity. In the first half, Wen Kai and Zheng Zhi scored 2:0 in the lead. In the second half, the Chinese team made a lot of personnel adjustments, but still
The score remained at this number.
In the second game, it was completely dominated by Guangzhou Evergrande players.
The players of Evergrande suffered a major blow before this training camp. In the second round of the AFC Champions League final, the referee of Australia and Asia, who was "chosen by the West Asians", went all out. First, in the first half, Alejandro
Al-Hilal players turned a blind eye to the intentional handball in the penalty area, blocked a penalty kick from Evergrande, and then pretended not to have seen the various fouls committed by Al-Hilal players. In the second half, the referee was even more unscrupulous.
, just like the match between Guangzhou Evergrande and Western Sydney Wanderers in history, both Zhang Linpeng and Gao Lin were sent off after being violated, and Evergrande could only fight with 9 men.
In the end, Al Hilal scored two goals before the game, defeated Guangzhou Evergrande with a total score of 3:1, and won the 2014 AFC Champions League championship. Evergrande won the AFC Champions League again, and its wish to win the Chinese Super League double championship came to nothing.
.
After the game, Guangzhou Evergrande head coach Lippi was shown a red card for arguing with the referee. The Chinese team has learned a lesson from the shameless tactics of the West Asians.
This time, in the second warm-up match against Honduras, the Chinese team, which was mainly composed of the Evergrande Gang, faced off against Honduras, which was mainly composed of players from the just-concluded World Cup. The final score was 0:0.
end.
On other venues, the Chinese Olympic team, which was dominated by Longteng players, performed very well. When facing the South Korean team, which was the second team in the first game, the Chinese Olympic team easily defeated the opponent 2:0. This is also
In the 31-year history of the two teams' confrontation, the Chinese Olympic team's second victory was extremely difficult.
In the second game, facing the heavily rotated Australian team, the Chinese Olympic team even scored a 4:0 score.
It was only in the last game that they lost against the Brazilian team led by Barcelona supernova Rafael Alcantara, who is worth as much as 12 million euros. Of course, it is reasonable to lose in this game. This Brazilian Olympic team
In addition to Alcantara, the team also has Lazio's talented midfielder Felipe Anderson, who is worth 8 million euros. At the same time, Benfica player Talisca, who is worth 4 million euros, is also a hot new star, and there are other players in other positions in the team.
The players are also mainly main players playing in the five major European leagues.
Even in the face of such an opponent, the Chinese Olympic team played vigorously. The two sides fought back and forth in the game, which was very lively.
After the Olympic team fell behind 0:1, Yao Tian equalized the score, but in the end Alcantara scored a go-ahead goal and lost the game 1:2.
After the game, the performance of the Olympic team was highly praised by the fans, who believed that this was another Olympic team that gave people hope in the past ten years.
Even the coach of the rival Brazilian Olympic team, Gallo, also spoke highly of the Chinese Olympic team. He even believed that many young players in the Chinese Olympic team have the ability to play in Europe.
Maybe it was Gallo's polite words, but it also explained his point of view.
Of course, there are also unhappy people, and that is Zhang Sheng. The Olympic team did perform well, but the players of the Longteng team were very tired. In the second round of the FA Cup against Shandong Luneng, these Longteng players
The team's substitute players made Zhang Sheng worried about their physical fitness.
And it was indeed possible in the game. After the game started, although Pato scored first for the Longteng team, narrowing the score gap to 2:3, Shandong Luneng, who was aiming to win the championship, rarely launched a full-court press.
After the start of the second half, Song Jianhua made a save when facing Aloisio's header, but Uso scored the second point and tied the score to 1:1.
Shandong Luneng, who had scored an away goal, began to return to defense. Although the Longteng team scored a goal in stoppage time from substitute Lu Zhihui, it was too late. Zhang Sheng, who was unwilling, could only watch Shandong Luneng score 4
