Zhang Linpeng’s journey to study abroad was full of twists and turns.
After Guangzhou Evergrande rejected Zhang Linpeng's first application to study abroad, Zhang Linpeng tried his best. He first found Zhang Sheng. After being rejected by Zhang Sheng, his agent began to seek help from Wanda. Of course, Wanda
He is not stupid. Fan Buzao went to quarrel with Evergrande over a player, and Zhang Linpeng's transfer matter once again reached a deadlock.
However, not long after the matter fell silent, things took a turn for the better. A European club made an offer for Zhang Linpeng. The club that made the offer was Leicester City. Compared with the historical offer made in the 2016 season,
Leicester City, they are more than a year ahead of schedule.
This season, Leicester City has paid much more attention to the Chinese market after dealing with the Dragons. After carefully observing the Chinese market, they proposed to buy Zhang Linpeng for 5 million euros and agreed.
Once Zhang Linpeng returns to China, he can be recycled by Guangzhou Evergrande at the original price or at a premium.
This time Guangzhou Evergrande still chose to refuse, but how could the media let go of such a hot event.
Countless media outlets immediately exposed all of Leicester City's conditions, including transfer fees, buy-back conditions, labor certificate applications and devolution to satellite clubs, etc. The terms were clearly written.
This time Guangzhou Evergrande was forced into a corner. Previously, they could refuse on the grounds that there was no buy-back clause and the players could not play in the team. This time their refusal was criticized by countless people after the transfer conditions were exposed.
.
Everyone has compared the attitudes of the two clubs, Longteng and Beijing Guoan, towards player transfers.
As the club that has sent the most players to study abroad in recent years, Longteng Club has always had a good reputation among the fan base. In addition, the players from the Longteng team have performed very well, which makes everyone think that playing in Europe is the best for China.
The right path to player development.
Beijing Guoan has always had a very bad reputation among domestic fans due to Beijing's scolding at home, the arrogance of the Beijing media, and the players' more aggressive playing style. Take a look at several major domestic professional football forums and several portals.
Everyone in the sports news section will know that no matter how fans of other clubs quarrel with each other, once a fan of Beijing Guoan shows up, 100% of everyone will stop arguing and instead collectively point the finger at Beijing Guoan. Guoan can be said to be
A friendly messenger between other Chinese Super League teams.
Even so, no matter how the fans criticize Beijing Guoan, once it comes to Guoan's attitude towards its players studying abroad, everyone has to give a thumbs up. After all, Guoan has always supported its best players to study abroad.
Therefore, the pressure on Guangzhou Evergrande is very high this time. The Internet unanimously believes that Evergrande is a worm in Chinese football. In addition to collecting a large number of international players, they will never release the players unless they are completely destroyed.
.
Even Guangzhou's own fans think the club has gone too far. It never shows mercy when buying players. Players want to have higher development but are prevented from going to Europe. In addition, Zhang Linpeng has not made much improvement in the past two seasons.
, everyone even thinks that Guangzhou Evergrande delayed Zhang Linpeng.
Seeing the distressed Guangzhou Evergrande, Zhang Sheng smiled and watched from the other side. After all, no one can have too much to watch.
Unexpectedly, this fire soon burned on his own head, because Guangzhou Evergrande had already targeted Shu Jun.
As the captain of the Longteng team, Shu Jun has always had a good reputation in the team. In the national team, he is also Zhang Linpeng's biggest competitor. Such a player is coveted by any team.
No matter which team Shu Jun transfers to, the Longteng team will be hit hard, and the team he buys from will definitely win a big victory.
Now Guangzhou Evergrande is making such a plan. Zhang Linpeng’s current transfer issue has put the club in a dilemma. It is obviously inappropriate not to let Zhang Linpeng go. The pressure from external public opinion is very strong. It has always wanted to be the leader of Chinese football.
Once Guangzhou Evergrande loses its authority in football, everyone will not take Evergrande seriously in the future, and it will be really difficult to win future games.
But once Zhang Linpeng leaves, how to introduce personnel to strengthen this position is a top priority. The first thing Guangzhou Evergrande thinks of is the Longteng team. After all, they know the situation of this competitor very well-the current situation of the Longteng Group does not count.
That's great. I'm looking to buy someone from them. No one else is optimistic about it, but Evergrande is a dumb person eating dumplings - I know it well.
Moreover, Evergrande always adopts a two-pronged approach when buying people. While contacting Longteng Club, they also directly contacted Shu Jun and Shu Jun's family.
And when they contacted Shu Jun's family, they had a very prominent advantage, that is, Shu Jun's parents used to work in Guangzhou, and they had used the money Shu Jun earned from playing football in the past few years to buy a car and a house in Guangzhou.
Shu Jun is now more like a Guangzhou native working in Jiangcheng.
Shu Jun's family still has a great influence on Shu Jun. They have already settled in Guangzhou and they hope that their children can be by their side. Not to mention that Guangzhou Evergrande's influence is greater than that of Longteng. Guangzhou
The city's influence is also greater than that of Jiangcheng.
What is even more interesting is Zhang Sheng's attitude towards Shu Jun's transfer rumors. Zhang Sheng has always refuted the previous transfer rumors of other players immediately, and his attitude is quite tough, but Shu Jun's transfer
After the rumors came out, Zhang Sheng did not make any statement immediately. Not making a statement would be the biggest statement!
The first person to react was Beijing Guoan. Regardless of market rules, Luo Ning talked a lot, but in the key positions of the team, he was still very good at buying people. In Zhang Sheng, he did not care about Shu Jun.
After the transfer rumors came out, Guoan immediately issued an offer - 5000wRMB.
After Shu Jun's transfer rumors came out, a post from last year was liked online.
After Deng Chaoqun, who was the captain at the time, was sold to the Dragons, some people on the Internet predicted that the Dragons would sell their captain next season, and made a bet with the fans that if the Dragons did not sell their captain next season, he would live broadcast eating food.
.
At that time, a group of fans ridiculed the fan and said they were just waiting for him to eat.
Now this post has been upvoted again, and a bunch of fans have come over to repent and worship the owner of this post, because this time the Dragons are very likely to sell the vice-captain first, and then the captain, and do better than this
What the poster said is even more thorough.
In fact, Zhang Sheng was also quite troubled when faced with the issue of Shu Jun's transfer.
First of all, in the current special training, Shu Jun is the player with the worst training effect in the entire back line. After this period of special training, many players have significantly improved in passing and receiving, but Shu Jun is completely
He was standing still, which meant that his potential had been fully tapped. Now that it had reached its limit, Zhang Sheng had to put him on the bench.
The team currently has Shu Jun, Zhou Zhou and Xiao Yunfan at the right back position, and Xiang Tiange and Huang He can serve as substitutes.
Among these five people, Shu Jun has the lowest potential, and his ability value is not as good as Zhou Zhou and Xiao Yunfan, which means that he will most likely play as a rotation player next season.
The captain's role as a substitute has always had a great impact on the team, because as the captain of the team, his words and deeds are the vane of the team. Once he is dissatisfied, it is likely to cause a group of people to
There is emotion in the team.
The second is Shu Jun’s own attitude.
As a player who originally came from Jiangcheng Hongxing and then joined the Longteng team, he has always been very independent, young, but mature. This is why Zhang Sheng originally appointed him as the captain.
Now Zhang Sheng can clearly feel that Shu Jun has other ideas. According to the news from Guangzhou, Evergrande is also working hard to pursue Shu Jun and make him the number one right back position once Zhang Linpeng studies abroad.
Candidate.
Shu Jun's matter did not linger for long, because Zhang Linpeng's matter is said to have come to an end. Guangzhou Evergrande is really unable to withstand the dual pressure of players and media. After all, if Evergrande refuses to let Zhang Linpeng go, he will only want to play in Europe in the future.
For football players, Evergrande is definitely the last option. This potential danger is something Evergrande is not willing to bear.
Shu Jun also found Zhang Sheng at this time.
In Zhang Sheng's office, Shu Jun asked Zhang Sheng straightforwardly about his position on the team: "Coach, I want to know my position on the team next season."
Zhang Sheng answered honestly: "Shu Jun, you are our captain, you should know my employment principles. Unless there are very special reasons, condition and ability are always the first conditions for players to play."
"That means I can't guarantee 100% of my place in the main team next season?" Shu Jun asked.
"Yes, I will not make a promise to any player for the main position." Zhang Sheng replied affirmatively.
After thinking for a while, Shu Jun asked the question he was most concerned about: "If, I mean if. If I, Zhou Zhou, and Xiao Yunfan are all in similar condition, then what should be the order of our starting lineup?
"
"Um..." Zhang Sheng paused for a while and then gave his answer: "Among the three of them, you should be ranked third."
"I understand." Shu Jun nodded and said, "But I think I can still play the main role because I am still young. I want to find a team that can give me an absolute main position. I hope you can let me go."
Regarding Shu Jun's transfer application, Zhang Sheng felt that it should be reasonable, so he had been mentally prepared for it. After hearing Shu Jun's words, Zhang Sheng readily agreed to his request: "Your transfer
I have approved the application, and I hope you will perform well in the next club."
Shu Jun also said gratefully: "Thank you for accepting me into the team, and thank you for pushing me to the position of captain."
Hearing Shu Jun mention the captaincy, Zhang Sheng asked: "Now that you are leaving, who do you think is the most suitable captain in the Dragon Team now?"
"Let me tell you?" Shu Jun was also a little surprised, "It's not easy for me to interrupt, right?"
Zhang Sheng waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, just say whatever comes to mind. You have been the captain of the team for more than a year, and you will be more familiar with many things than me."
"Then I'll say it, but this is just my personal opinion." Shu Jun said cautiously.
Zhang Sheng nodded, indicating that he should continue talking.
Shu Jun also began to let go of his scruples and expressed his opinion: "Before talking about who should be the captain, I think we should steadily let a certain player be the captain."
"I have been a captain for more than a year, and I have a deep understanding that it takes time for the players to adapt to a new captain. Frequent captain changes, whether in daily team management or on the field.
The conductor has a great influence." Shu Jun first talked about his personal experience.
Shu Jun's words made Zhang Sheng a little embarrassed. To be honest, a large part of the reason for this situation was Zhang Sheng's deliberate indulgence. In order to make the players more famous and sell for more money, Zhang Sheng deliberately
The captains are given to players who are most likely to be sold and have lower potential. In addition, these players happen to have entered the club relatively early. It is difficult for the players to have too many complaints. After all, in
In the football world, qualifications are qualifications, and they can often suppress many people.
Shu Jun did not pay attention to Zhang Sheng's face and continued: "From the team's tactical point of view, I think it is best to arrange the captain in the team's order now, but Zhou Zhou's position should be in front of Lu Zhihui.
, after all, my teammates are used to my position at right back. Zhou Zhou as a right back can make my teammates better familiar with me."
The current ranking of the captains of the Longteng team is Shu Jun - Wen Kai - Lin Feng - Lu Zhihui - Zhou Zhou. In Zhang Sheng's mind, foreign players are not qualified to be captains unless they have played for more than three to five years.
The team is definitely based on domestic players.
According to Shu Jun's statement, it should be said that this is consistent with Zhang Sheng's idea.
But Shu Jun soon mentioned his other statement: "But if you look at the team's qualifications and abilities, I think Pato has the qualifications to be the captain."
Zhang Sheng shook his hand and said: "It is not easy for a foreign player to be the captain of our team, but I agree with the captaincy you mentioned. Zhou Zhou has good reasons for taking a step up. Thank you very much, let's go.
He gave me such good advice before.”
Shu Jun stood up and bowed to Zhang Sheng: "Coach, I'm leaving then."
Zhang Sheng also stood up, accepted his bow calmly, and then nodded and said: "I will play football well in the future. No matter where I go, don't lose our reputation as a player from Longteng Club."
After Zhang Sheng agreed to Shu Jun's transfer application, Guangzhou Evergrande and Beijing Guoan both joined the competition.
