Li Yun also came to see Zhang Sheng after the game. This time he met all the players on the team. He performed well in the game and became the envy of the Longteng players.
Li Yun generously said to the juniors in the team: "Welcome to Europe, everyone. I am now a half-landlord. If you have any problem, just come to me. I will do my duty."
Zhang Sheng immediately raised his foot and gave Li Yun a gentle tap: "Oh! You can! You can do it now! You came to me to demonstrate, right? What? I can't take good care of them in Europe, and I still need you to come.
What kind of landowner do you want to be?”
Li Yun also pretended to jump away and said: "Where? Where? I am happy to see so many brothers coming here. No matter how I am in Europe, how can I be happy with my brothers in China?"
Zhang Sheng could only smile helplessly when he saw the oily-skinned old face of Li Yun. He was willing to communicate and could communicate. This was Li Yun's natural ability. He was able to achieve his current position in Europe regardless of how successful he was.
But it is rare to at least be able to gain a firm foothold.
Of course, the more important reason is Li Yun's ability.
The information that can be observed from the system - Li Yun's current potential value remains unchanged at 103, but his ability value has reached a figure of nearly 97. It can be said that Li Yun has almost reached his highest height.
As a 22-year-old central defender, Li Yun still has a very long career path, and more will come from the accumulation and application of experience.
After returning to the hotel, while the players were relaxing with the help of physical therapists and masseurs, Zhang Sheng and the coaching staff began to summarize the game after a quick meal.
At this time, Gu Qi and Huang Linjia, as game analysts and video analysts, became the protagonists.
The two of them returned to the hotel early after the game and had already started analyzing and editing the game video. By the time Zhang Sheng and the coaching staff returned to the hotel with the players, the two of them had already finished their preliminary work.
Already.
In the post-game analysis meeting, Zhang Sheng got rid of the dark history of relying on his own notebook to recall the game process. The video edited by professionals was more comprehensive and careful.
Just by summarizing the loopholes in the competition, everyone listed dozens of them, which shows the efficiency and ability of the two of them in their work.
After the players had rested and entered their dreams, Zhang Sheng was still negotiating with members of the coaching staff on how to make up for the loopholes exposed during training the next day.
After the training started on the second day, Zhang Sheng arranged for the team to conduct a day of tactical drills according to the training plan formulated the night before.
On the third day, the Longteng team started to play a warm-up match again. This time the team’s warm-up opponent was a team from the fourth tier of Spanish football, also commonly known as the Spanish Third Division team. This time
The goal of the Dragon Team in the competition is very clear, which is to find a weak team to practice the various new tactical patches trained yesterday.
The Spanish League C is the first-tier league above the regional leagues in Spain. There are 18 groups across the country, with each group ranging from 20 to 22 teams. There is also the Spanish League B above the Spanish League C, with 4 groups, each group.
There are 20 teams formed; the top one is La Liga, and the top one is the famous La Liga, oh no, La Liga.
Even during the warm-up with this fourth-level league, Zhang Sheng could see the tactical ability of this team, because their overall tactics were excellent and the players' movements were very coordinated.
Thanks to the hard attack of the Longteng team, the opponent resisted for more than 30 minutes before conceding the ball, which shows the foundation of Spanish domestic football.
Of course, the gap in strength became more and more obvious as the game progressed. Before the end of the first half, the Longteng team led 2:0.
After the start of the second half, the Longteng team, which began to make a large number of substitutions, weakened slightly in attack, but the players still scored a goal, and the game ended with 3:0.
At the end of the game, the Longteng team not only scored goals for the players, but also brought a lot of confidence to the players.
After that, the Dragon Team's warm-up process in Europe basically went through this process. They found a strong team to discover their various weaknesses. The next step was to make some targeted improvements through training, and finally found a team with slightly weaker strengths.
team to test their tactical results.
After more than a week of continuous warm-up, the Longteng team gradually became familiar with the new tactics, and Zhang Sheng began to arrange more stronger teams for warm-up matches.
The first high-intensity warm-up team arranged by Zhang Sheng was Xu Mingyu's Sporting Lisbon B team.
In this warm-up match, Zhang Sheng arranged his strongest lineup. In the first half, the two teams were inextricably linked. At the end of the first half, both sides were tied with a score of 0:0.
Give up.
In the second half of the game, the Longteng team was basically in a defensive posture. Until the 70th minute of the game, the Longteng team held on to the game.
However, after replacing several young players one after another, the overall strength of the Longteng team dropped sharply. On the contrary, the substitute strength of the Sporting Lisbon B team was much stronger than that of the Longteng team. In the last ten minutes, the Longteng team continuously
Three goals were conceded.
The final score was fixed at 0:3, and the Longteng team once again experienced the power of a strong team.
After the game against Sporting Lisbon B, Zhang Sheng took the team non-stop to participate in the game against Porto B.
Porto B team is stronger than Sporting Lisbon B team, but the Longteng team's tactical adjustment is also constantly improving. In this game, the players are more skilled in cooperation. In the first half, the Longteng team fought with their opponents.
It became 1:1. In the second half, the Longteng team took the lead. However, the players of Porto B team were obviously stimulated by this score. When they saw the head coach with a bad face on the sidelines, they showed their desperate spirit.
Participating in the game, they were stronger and quickly overtook the score shortly after equalizing the score.
After that, the two sides began to make a large number of substitutions. Lin Feng also made his first appearance in the game after nearly four months away from the competition. From his performance in the game, it was obvious that he was very adaptable to the current tactics.
Although the Longteng team lost two goals again in the end and only recovered one goal, ending the game with a score of 3:5. But Zhang Sheng was already very satisfied. It was difficult to play against the team currently ranked fourth in the Portuguese Liga.
Solving the difficulties proves that the team's current running-in has achieved certain results.
After the match against Porto B, the Dragons still have the last few warm-up opponents left, but they are also the strongest ones.
The first one we met was Leicester City. As a newly promoted team in the Premier League this season, Leicester City has historically played very poorly. After half the schedule, they were still ranked last in the Premier League. Some people even thought that they had been confirmed.
One relegation spot.
But now the situation has changed. Because of the arrival of Kante and Mahrez, the team has undergone great changes. The head coach Nigel Pearson, who was very dissatisfied with this signing, was dismissed in a dispute with the boss.
, the person who took his place was none other than the famous marshal "Tinker" Ranieri in history.
Ranieri took over from the position of head coach of the Greek national team. Of course, his takeover was also very disgraceful because Ranieri was fired by the Greek Football Association.
The reason for the dismissal was simple - in the European Cup qualifiers, Greece lost 0-1 to the Faroe Islands.
While this failure shocked the whole country of Greece, it also forced the Greek Football Association to shirk the blame. The president of their Football Association shied the blame very well, saying directly that this was a disastrous record and the national team suffered huge losses.
The responsibility lies with the head coach.
Ranieri was dismissed as a matter of course.
However, after Ranieri resigned in November, he immediately came to Leicester City, more than half a year earlier than in history.
The first time Ranieri came to Leicester City, he slashed at the midfielder position. Kante succeeded in taking the position, squeezing out the former famous player Cambiasso. Of course, this was also different from Ranieri and Cambiaso.
There are conflicts related, and the conflicts can be traced back to the history of Ranieri coaching Inter Milan in the 2011-2012 season.
Anyway, Ranieri's arrival has completely changed Leicester City's results. They are now far better than their historical results - 10th in the league.
In this warm-up match, the Longteng team truly experienced what a Premier League-like confrontation is.
The small bodies of the Dragons players were completely at a disadvantage when confronting the Leicester City players. Even Mahrez and Kante, whom they were familiar with, seemed to have changed. Their ability to fight has been greatly improved.
Before the game, Mahrez and Kante praised their former club very much, so in the first half, the Leicester City players wanted to test their words. When they showed their 100% form,
The Dragons understand the gap between themselves and the Premier League teams.
After more than half an hour of hard defense, Mahrez's offense broke the deadlock and the Longteng team fell behind.
But soon the Longteng team took advantage of Leicester City's slightly relaxed mentality to quickly equalize the score. The goal was Pato, the assist was Ben Alpha, and it was Tao Wentao who initiated the attack. This ball was perfect.
It reflects the results of the Longteng team's quick passing tactics in the midfield.
Next, the Longteng team maintained the 1:1 score until the end of the first half. After the start of the second half, Leicester City forward Vardy showed off his power and scored two goals in five minutes. The Longteng team wanted to win in an upset.
The idea was given up.
After both sides started to make substitutions, the rhythm of the game dropped. The Longteng team got a goal back and ended the game 2:3.
After the game, Ranieri came over to talk to Zhang Sheng in a very graceful manner. He originally thought that this game was a routine for the club, but he didn't expect that he would see a very special Chinese team. Although this team
The strength of the team is uneven, and many details of the tactics are not perfect, but it is already a bit shadowy in simulating Barcelona's tactics.
Ranieli also specially left his contact information for Zhang Sheng, so that he could communicate with him about various tactical issues when he was free. This can be regarded as Ranieli's recognition of Zhang Sheng.
After playing against Leicester City, the Dragons took a day's rest before starting a warm-up match against Ajax.
Ajax has been eliminated from the Champions League this year, and now the team has dropped to the Europa League.
However, as a team that can reach the top 16 of the Europa League, the Longteng team is still much weaker. Facing Ajax's stormy attack, the Longteng team fell behind 0:2 in the first half.
Jax made a lot of substitutions, but the score still became 7:0. The Longteng team only got a penalty kick from Ben Alpha at the last moment, and then regained some face. The final score was 7:1, which was also the case for the Longteng team.
The team came to Spain for winter training this time and this was the game with the biggest score difference so far.
After the game, Zhang Sheng and the coaching staff carefully analyzed the team's various mistakes, and finally came to the conclusion that there was no alternative - many of the Longteng team's mistakes were pressure-type mistakes.
In other words, many mistakes and goals conceded are caused by the opponent's pressing style. From the opponent's players' ability, to the use of tactics, the rhythm of the game, and the intensity of the confrontation, the Longteng team cannot resist it now. From this game
The game can see the huge gap between the strong teams in Europe and Asian teams.
Of course, according to Xuerle, there is no need for Zhang Sheng to worry: "Not to mention China, there is no team in Asia that can play a game like Ajax, so at the Asian level, we don't have to worry at all.
Unless you want to win the Club World Cup!"
Zhang Sheng could only shake his head helplessly and said, "I'm overthinking it!"
The next game is the last warm-up match for the Longteng team in Europe, and it is also a game to check the results of the Longteng team's winter training in Europe. The opponent is an old friend, the Salzburg Red Bull.
Red Bull Salzburg is currently in the midst of a transfer turmoil. Many teams in the Chinese Super League have set their sights on the Red Bulls. Except for those who are trying every means to bring Qin Minghao and Ding Huaiyi back to China, the Red Bulls
Those players who have been observed for a long time have become everyone's targets.
Among them, their main forward Alan has been poached by Guangzhou Evergrande for 11.1 million euros, and after passing the physical examination, he went directly to the Evergrande team training in Spain.
But even if the main striker like Alan is gone, there are still a lot of masters in the Salzburg Red Bull team.
In addition to veteran Soriano, players like Naby Keita, Sabi Zell, and Massimo Bruno are also very capable. At the same time, they also have talented young players like Lazaro.
Of course, Chinese fans are more familiar with Qin Minghao and Ding Huaiyi.
After the game started, Salzburg, which had undergone certain changes during the winter transfer period, was not playing very smoothly. Alan's departure left them without a very good connection point and ball release point in the frontcourt.
When the opponent's tactics were chaotic, the Longteng team rarely played a beautiful game in Europe.
