Guangzhou Evergrande quickly showed to the outside world that they were confident in poaching the captain of the Longteng team. They first offered the Longteng team a price of 60 million, which was already a very fair price for a full-back.
.
However, Zhang Sheng did not agree. After all, what Guangzhou Evergrande currently lacks is a national-level right back. If we don't take advantage of this time to make a serious attack, wouldn't it be a waste of a great opportunity.
The response from the Longteng Club was also sufficient: "Shu Jun is our captain. His ability is not only reflected in technology. At the same time, he has very good commanding ability in the defense. We need a player that matches his ability."
Quotation."
After several days of tug-of-war with Longteng Club, Guangzhou Evergrande offered a price that Zhang Sheng could not refuse - 70 million.
This is higher than the price they paid to buy Gao Jun and Deng Chaoqun from the Longteng team last year. The price of a full-back exceeds the price of a defensive midfielder and a forward. This is already very sincere.
Zhang Sheng quickly signaled the club to agree to the transfer, and Shu Jun has now become the top player among Chinese players.
It has to be said that since the establishment of the Dragons in Chinese football, the overall value of domestic players has been extremely high, far higher than in history.
There are many reasons for this. First of all, the Longteng team has good results, the players perform well, and can be selected for a national team, so the player's value is obviously higher than that of players from other teams.
Secondly, the Longteng team played well against several strong teams. The players on the field certainly gave their opponents a very deep impression. What these strong teams want to do is to kill two birds with one stone, buy powerful players, and
Attack the Dragon Team.
Finally, the players of the Longteng team can maintain their value. Most of the players of the Longteng team have performed very well in the club after the transfer. This has strengthened the belief of those teams - Longteng products must be high-quality!
Facing Guangzhou Evergrande, which is determined to win, Beijing Guoan has scaled back its investment. After all, the price has exceeded the range they can afford.
Soon Shu Jun left the Longteng team and went directly to the training ground of Guangzhou Evergrande, and went to Spain for training with Guangzhou Evergrande.
The departure of Shu Jun, Wen Kai and the previous Ding Huaiyi has reduced the team's first-team personnel a lot. However, not all players during the winter training period can sign up for the Chinese Super League next season because starting from the 2015 season, the Chinese Football Association has
The number of first-team registrations for Chinese Super League teams has been reduced, from 35 last season to 30, which means that a maximum of 25 domestic players can sign up and a maximum of 5 foreign players can sign up for the competition.
The current Longteng team, if you count all the players summoned by the system, has nearly 30 players. Some of these players must not be able to play in the Chinese Super League next season. It is better to just be like Yao Tianhe last season.
Zhu Xuhe was loaned out like that.
As soon as the news came out that the Longteng team was interested in loaning players to play in the Chinese League One, all the teams in the Chinese League One started to get excited.
After all, the performance of the two Longteng players in the Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopards last season was obvious to all. Even a team as bad as the Tianshan Snow Leopards was dragged into the top six. The ability of the Longteng team to rent out players is evident.
Even though the players of the Longteng team are likely to be transferred out to play games by national teams at all levels in the middle of the league, the Chinese clubs are still working very hard to contact the Longteng club.
The first person who came to our door was an old acquaintance - Li Jun.
Last season, two players from the Longteng team gave him a very good impression. Now that these two players have returned, it is time for him to rent players from the Longteng club again.
Like last year, Li Jun proposed to rent players in two positions: attacking midfielder and defensive midfielder.
Zhang Sheng did not disappoint Li Jun. He sent Yan Xiaoyu and Qu Wenming, two young players who were about to turn 19, over.
When Li Jun heard about Yan Xiaoyu, he was extremely happy. This was a player who participated in the AFC Champions League last year and provided key assists. Although he has become quiet since then, there is no doubt about his ability.
, as the core midfielder of the U19 national team, Li Jun didn’t know how to thank Zhang Sheng for being able to come to his team.
The loan of Yan Xiaoyu and Qu Wenming made other teams even more crazy in their pursuit of young players from the Longteng team.
After several teams in the Chinese League One successively signed loan contracts with the Longteng Team with strict conditions - playing time must be guaranteed, players must play the most suitable position, etc. - after that, Huang He, Tang Jin, and Ni Kai will
The 19-year-old youngster has also been loaned out one after another.
After dealing with these matters, Zhang Sheng also began to take the team to Europe for training, because too many teams came to buy Longteng players, and Zhang Sheng was not ready to let them go anymore.
This time Zhang Sheng prepared the same teams for warm-up, but there was one more Leicester City team than last season.
The Dragons' first stop in Europe is Spain, where there are a large number of Chinese Super League teams and European teams are conducting winter training. Compared to the cold Northern Europe, Eastern Europe and Western Europe, Spain, which is located in Southern Europe, has always been a winter training concentration camp for European teams.
The weather here is warm, the venue conditions are good, and the facilities are advanced and complete. In addition to being able to contact local clubs in Spain for warm-up matches, Chinese Super League teams here can also train with professional teams from other European leagues there, making it easy to find opponents for warm-up matches.
These warm-up teams are also very suitable for the Chinese Super League clubs. After all, the famous and big clubs have flown to rich places to make money, and most of the teams here are civilian teams.
The Chinese Super League clubs have warm-up games with teams that are too powerful. It is obviously meaningless to inspect players and team tactics. On the contrary, teams in the middle and lower reaches of the five major European leagues and teams outside the five major leagues are very suitable for testing the Chinese Super League.
The team's weaknesses.
This time the Dragons' first opponent is the German second division team that is conducting winter training here - Red Bull Leipzig.
As a team that wants to break into the Bundesliga, Leipzig Red Bull has spent a lot of money this season. Several young players from Salzburg Red Bull, including Li Yun, have been transferred. In addition, the team has spent a lot of money.
They introduced the Hungarian offensive genius Kalma, bought out the forward Boyd of the Austrian team Rapid Vienna, and vowed to make a triple jump at the beginning of the season.
It's a pity that Leipzig Red Bull, which was famous for its sharp offense and many goals in the German Bundesliga 3, failed in attack. Although the defense is as strong as ever - only 12 goals were conceded in 19 rounds, it is impossible to win by not conceding goals alone.
Get good grades.
Before the game against RB Leipzig, Zhang Sheng met Li Yun.
This season, Red Bull Leipzig can have such dazzling statistics on the defense line, which is inseparable from Li Yun's outstanding performance.
Li Yun, who came from Red Bull Salzburg, has experienced high-intensity matches such as the Europa League. It can be said that he plays with ease when facing opponents of the Bundesliga level.
The defense he led was named the best defensive line in the second half of the season, and Li Yun was also named the best rookie in the second half of the 2014-2015 season.
Therefore, when facing Zhang Sheng, Li Yun looked very confident. This is the kind of self-confidence that comes from the heart after being recognized in a high-level league, and it is reflected in the game. It is the impregnable rear team led by Li Yun.
Line of defense.
After the start of this warm-up match, the passing tactics that the Longteng team had intensively trained some time ago were put to a great test.
When we were in China, the opponents we found for warm-up matches were completely defeated when faced with the Long Teng team's quick passing tactics, often scoring 5 or 6 goals in just a few dozen minutes.
Now when facing the Leipzig Red Bull, it is basically difficult to penetrate the opponent's defense. On the contrary, the Red Bull's "junk offense" that was despised by the Longteng players before the game made the team suffer. It was only halfway through the game.
Within hours, the team fell behind 0:2.
It is difficult for Red Bull Leipzig to score goals in the Bundesliga 2, but it is a different situation when facing the Dragons.
Of course, the Longteng team's lagging behind is also related to Lin Feng's inability to play. The team is still using Roque Gilgatao Wentao's double midfielder combination. This is a strong offensive and defensive midfielder combination. In the face of
It is really difficult to play against a team like Red Bull Leipzig.
Lin Feng has now come to the team to participate in winter training with the team, but after all, he has just recovered from his injury and is still in the physical adaptation and physical recovery period. He is unable to compete in high-intensity games on the court, so this game will be promoted to Zhang.
It's Roque Gilgataowentao.
However, this score was something that Zhang Sheng had expected. After all, Tao Wentao and Roque Gill's cooperation played more in training, but less in actual combat. This is the purpose of this trip to warm up with a team like Leipzig.
Purpose.
After the second half, Zhang Sheng changed a large number of substitute players, but the double midfielder combination of Tao Wentao and Rock Gill remained unchanged. After the Red Bulls tested their offense, they also began to make a large number of substitutions. The Longteng team
At this time, the pressure in the midfield was reduced a lot, and Tao Wentao finally had some opportunities to rush to the frontcourt to organize the attack.
Especially with Li Yun's dismissal, Leipzig Red Bull's defensive organization became a lot more chaotic. Tao Wentao's feeling was still very keen. Shortly after Li Yun's dismissal, Tao Wentao received Roque Gill in the middle.
After intercepting the ball in the midfield, after a series of quick passes in the midfield, Nie Jiang, who came to respond, was screened in front of the penalty area, allowing him to escape successfully. Then Nie Jiang turned around and shot a shot, leveling the score.
1:2.
In the next game, the Longteng team, which made a lot of substitutions, was obviously lacking in strength. Leipzig Red Bull scored two goals in a row, changing the score to 1:4.
Zhang Sheng was very satisfied with this score. The Red Bulls are a team in the upper reaches of the Bundesliga. Most of the players in the team have abilities above 90. Faced with players whose ability values are generally in the 70s and 80s, Long Teng
If the team can score a goal, it can be regarded as completing the task assigned by Zhang Sheng.
After the game, Rangnick shook hands with Zhang Sheng happily and said, "Your team is getting stronger and stronger."
Zhang Sheng, of course, knew that Rangnick meant it as a compliment. He smiled and said: "When it comes to strength, Leipzig has really undergone earth-shaking changes. Compared with when I was at the club before and now, it is completely surprising."
"What do you say about this player Nie Jiang?" Rangnick stopped talking around Zhang Sheng and directly explained his purpose of coming, "When do you think he can come to Europe to play football? To be honest, such a player will not be placed in the Chinese Super League."
, it’s really such a waste.”
Zhang Sheng was also speechless. Lannick had raised the issue of Nie Jiang countless times. In every email exchange and phone call, Lannick would mention Nie Jiang. He always encouraged Zhang Sheng to get Nie Jiang.
He came to Europe and promised that his growth would not be slower in Europe than in the Chinese Super League.
Zhang Sheng doesn't quite believe what Rangnick said. It's not that he doesn't believe in Rangnick's character, but he doesn't believe that he can grow faster by only training and not playing games in Europe than by playing games in the Chinese Super League.
Nie Jiang is under 18 years old and cannot obtain a participation certificate for a European professional team. If he only plays youth teams and amateur games in Europe, he might as well play in the Chinese Super League.
Zhang Sheng shrugged helplessly and said: "This depends not only on my wishes, but also on the player's own wishes. He is still young and will have to wait a few more years to come to Europe."
Rangnick also knew that his efforts were in vain, so he could only mutter: "That's the statement again. Oh, you said UEFA is the same, why do foreign players have to be 18 years old before they can come?"
Rangnick finally complained about UEFA's rules.
Zhang Sheng was very concerned and asked about Julian Weigel's situation. As a player of Longteng Club, but he was loaned to play in the Bundesliga 2, Julian Weigel was an anomaly in the club.
After Zhang Sheng came over this time, one of his big goals was to observe Julian Weigel's performance.
Rangnick once again expressed his admiration for Zhang Sheng's eye for people: "Julian is very good. Although he is not strong physically, his ability to control the midfield is nothing to say. Now he can already play in the team
He has playing time, and according to the rate of his progress, he is likely to be the main player next season. What about? Just transfer him to our team, the transfer fee will not let you down."
Rangnick openly started poaching.
How could Zhang Sheng let go so easily? With Julian Weigel's ability and future growth, he is definitely a core player for an upper-tier Bundesliga team. Zhang Sheng would never let him go when he was still young.
Let it go, the time to maximize benefits is far from coming.
Seeing Zhang Sheng's "haha" expression, Lannick shrugged and said, "I know you're not that easy to talk to."
After meeting with Rangnick, Zhang Sheng and Julian Weigel met in person. Julian Weigel was very happy that Zhang Sheng was willing to put him in a team in the upper reaches of the Bundesliga 2.
Moreover, the staff arranged by Zhang Sheng in Germany were also very concerned about him, so that Julian Weigel never forgot that he was a member of the Longteng Club.
