In this game, Tao Wentao completely played the role of the central axis in the midfield. During this period of time, the Longteng team has gone through many failures in Europe - training - tempering - integration cycle training, so that the team's tactical details have improved.
He has made great progress, especially Tao Wentao, who is a key training target, has undergone qualitative changes. Nearly a month of intensive training has allowed him to truly have a taste of the core of the midfield.
Basically all the Longteng team's frontcourt attacks in the first half were initiated by Tao Wentao. Especially in the 32nd minute, the Longteng team played a very beautiful cooperation with Tao Wentao as the center point. Tao Wentao passed
Smart running and passing completely opened up the Red Bull Salzburg midfield defense. Then he passed a very beautiful through ball to Nie Jiang, but Red Bull goalkeeper Gulacchi made a mistake.
He made a very good save and did not let Nie Jiang's shot succeed.
Salzburg, who was very annoyed by Tao Wentao's continuous dispatching, even used a midfield strangulation tactic that was only used when facing strong teams, allowing midfielder Ilsanker and central midfielder Letgeb to attack him continuously.
Carry out marking.
If Lin Feng were on the court, it would probably be more troublesome for the Longteng team, because Lin Feng's escape ability is really average. Once the opponent has a very strict defensive system and has a good midfield defensive player, Lin Feng's role will be eliminated.
Unlimited shrinking, but Tao Wentao is different, because he has the ability to escape on the spot, and even break through to accelerate the offense under tight surveillance, so even if he is being watched by Salzburg's defensive players in turns, he can
He also used his breakthroughs many times to attract a lot of defensive attention from his teammates.
Thanks to Tao Wentao's outstanding performance, the Longteng team played very well throughout the first half, suppressing opponents with Europa League capabilities.
But when the Longteng team prepared to work harder on offense in the second half, Salzburg also made adjustments. Ding Huaiyi got a chance to play as a new foreign aid. Obviously Salzburg wanted to use offense instead of defense in the midfield.
Gain the initiative.
It should be said that their choice was correct.
Although Ding Huaiyi was not very skilled in cooperating with his teammates after he came on the field, after all, his individual ability is sufficient. With him on the court, Salzburg's offensive threat from the left has been qualitatively improved, and the Longteng players have also improved.
I finally understand why my previous opponents felt like they were facing a formidable enemy when facing Ding Huaiyi.
During the team's training and competitions, everyone also had group confrontations with Ding Huaiyi, but after all, it was a confrontation within the team, and the pressure was not great. Now once Ding Huaiyi truly becomes an opponent, his elusive and extraordinary skills are beyond imagination.
The powerful passing ball makes it difficult for defensive players to guard against.
Because of Ding Huaiyi's departure, the right wing of the Dragons is now handed over to Pato, which can be said to get Pato back on track - historically, after returning to Brazil, Pato mainly played on the right wing, and when he was in Milan before, he
He prefers to move on the right side.
This game also became a side match between good friends Ding Huaiyi and Pato.
After Pato was tricked by Ding Huaiyi again, Pato helplessly grabbed Ding Huaiyi's clothes, and the referee decisively gave Pato a yellow card.
Pato said to Ding Huaiyi with a look of displeasure: "Hey, let me tell you, if you want to embarrass me like this, I won't save face for you anymore. Just wait until I blow you up."
Ding Huaiyi, who has a very close relationship with Pato, certainly knew that Pato was joking, but he also heard a warning from Pato's words.
Ding Huaiyi said with a smile: "I can't help it. I came here just for the main position. But you don't have to save face for me. It's not certain who will blow who."
Pato laughed and scolded: "You kid."
Sure enough, in the next game, Pato strengthened his breakthroughs on the wing. He used his good ball sense and speed advantage to make Ding Huaiyi gradually unable to resist.
However, this is not what Zhang Sheng wants to see. The Longteng team, which has determined that its main tactics are passing and defeating, does not need too many individual breakthroughs from the wing, let alone such a grudge-style exchange of blows.
Zhang Sheng shouted to Pato on the court: "Tactics, our tactics, don't mess around."
When Pato heard Zhang Sheng's words, he finally came to his senses - he almost fell into Ding Huaiyi's trap. He suddenly felt happy, and the team's midfield coordination was disrupted.
When Pato wanted to get back on track with his tactics, the Longteng team quickly suffered a blow.
Qin Minghao used the language advantage between himself and Ding Huaiyi to form a connection. After a successful transfer of the ball, he asked Letgebu to stop looking for him and pass it to Ding Huaiyi. Then he asked Ding Huaiyi to pass the ball to him and hit
After a very beautiful three-on-three cooperation on the left, Qin Minghao's pass finally found forward Soriano accurately, and the latter volleyed from the center and scored, turning the score into 1:0.
It can be seen from this attack that Qin Minghao has absolute control over Salzburg's midfield, and the players are obviously willing to listen to him. In the end, this goal also reflects Qin Minghao's ability to organize and pass the ball.
With his strength, it’s no wonder that Salzburg’s head coach has now regarded him as the absolute core of the midfield.
Although he lost the ball and fell behind, Zhang Sheng was not too angry.
The opponent's offense was very beautiful. It was a textbook-like small-scale cooperation of the four players in the frontcourt. The players' abilities at their feet were brought into full play. There were not many loopholes in our own defense. This was completely two-sided.
There is nothing to complain about due to the disparity in strength among the players on the team.
Salzburg, who scored a goal, slowly began to take the initiative on the court. They used skilled high-position pressing and the forward pressure of the overall formation to completely lose the initiative to the Longteng team. On the contrary, they had never experienced this.
In this high-intensity game, the Dragons players repeatedly made mistakes. The situation of the game was exactly the same as the last game against Ajax.
Zhang Sheng, who had already tested the team's offensive tactics, began to make substitution adjustments. Lin Feng replaced Tao Wentao and began to retract the formation to defend.
However, in the following games, Salzburg, who gradually found their form, scored consecutive goals. Before the end of the game, they turned the score into 4:0, which saved a lot of face.
After this game, the Longteng team's winter training in Europe also came to an end. After a series of being ravaged by strong teams, and also experiencing tactical drills against weak teams, this winter training allowed the Longteng team to gain a lot, and the players also
After going through a period of extremely intense training, I have improved a lot.
On February 2, 2015, the Longteng team returned to China after a month of intensive winter training. Compared with those teams that were still training in Europe, the Longteng team had to return to China first, because on February 10, the Longteng team
The first game of this season will be ushered in, which is also the qualifying round of the AFC Champions League. The opponent is the Singapore Warriors.
As non-club members, Zhang Zhijun and Zhang Chen paid more attention to this game than Zhang Sheng, elevating this game to the height of Longteng Group's destiny.
Because when Zhang Sheng was leading the team for training in Europe during this period, a lot of things happened within the Longteng Group.
First, Zhang Zhijun conducted a purge of shareholders within the group.
As a company that has been developed for more than 20 years, Longteng Group has a lot of equity allocations and gifts in the start-up and development stages. Although Zhang Zhijun, as the founder of the group, has a very high prestige in the company, there are also some in the group.
There are many people who don't really buy it based on their qualifications.
This time, some people within the group wanted to seize power and united with some barbarians in the capital market to try to cooperate inside and outside, but they were discovered by the experienced Zhang Zhijun.
After a series of struggles, bribes, and alliances, Zhang Zhijun, who was prepared and had more capital, had the last laugh. In the end, the opponents within the group were kicked out of the group, and the Barbarian acquisition also completely failed.
.
However, Zhang Zhijun's operations greatly consumed the group's reserve funds. Even many of Zhang Zhijun, Zhu Ling, and Zhang Chen's own private properties were mortgaged. According to his brother Zhang Chen: "Now our family
The richest one is you, brother. My parents and I are now in negative equity!"
Secondly, while dealing with the group's power struggle, the group's internal supervision department also discovered problems in some projects. In particular, the group's current top priority, the professional football field project, was inspected and found that some of the construction materials were substandard, and the project classification
Irregularities on the package.
Zhang Zhijun, who was fighting with his opponents in the group at the time, was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
Recalling Zhang Sheng's suggestion to pay attention to the quality of construction, Zhang Zhijun was glad that he listened and sent his own capable people to conduct a strict investigation. Otherwise, the revelation of this matter would have plunged the group into an irreversible situation.
Moreover, this inspection also gave Zhang Zhijun a great help in clearing out his opponents, because many problems were caused by his opponents' management. Zhang Zhijun used the information he had this time to successfully eliminate his opponents.
Zhang Zhijun spent a lot of money on this matter - repurchasing building materials, replacing part of the construction team, reinforcing safety protection, and strengthening quality inspections - these actions cost money and time, and the group's own financial losses were huge.
In short, Zhang Zhijun has a firm grasp on the Longteng Group, but the group itself is also severely damaged. While spending a lot of government relations resources, it is basically unable to provide more financial help to the team this season, so the team
You have to rely entirely on yourself to operate and work hard.
At this time, Longteng Group's promise to the government - to achieve good results - must be fulfilled. The AFC Champions League is the club's top priority, and Zhang Zhijun once gave the government a guarantee of at least qualifying for the AFC Champions League group.
Of course, Zhang Zhijun has his own confidence in saying this. First of all, the club itself does not have a big gap in funds, because in addition to the departure of Wen Kai and Shu Jun, which earned the team 120 million transfer fees, the transfer of Ding Huaiyi
It also brings a lot of benefits to the team.
Different from the previous situation when Qin Minghao and Li Yun transferred to Red Bull Salzburg, at that time, the reputation of Chinese players was relatively low, and the players themselves were not optimistic about their ability. Whether they could adapt to European football was really a problem.
Things are different now. Qin Minghao and Li Yun, who have already made a name for themselves in Europe, tell everyone with their actions that China has good players and they are very obedient. Even Xu Mingyu, who did not perform well, has exceeded his own performance.
The value of dues.
European teams all know that Chinese players can be introduced. If they are lucky, they will be Europa League level players. Even if they are lucky, they will be the main players of mid-range teams in European mid-range leagues. Moreover, they are still young and their growth potential is very impressive.
.
Nowadays, there are many Chinese clubs looking for players. Players like Ding Huaiyi who have performed stably and dazzlingly in the Chinese Super League are backed by a long list of European clubs. Even if they have the right of first refusal for players with the Dragons, Red Bull Salzburg still spends far more.
Higher than the previous purchase of Qin Minghao and Li Yun: transfer fee of 3 million euros, additional terms of 500,000 euros (more than 10 goals, more than 15 assists, or more than 20 assists and goals in a single season), and a 35% third-place bonus.
Second transfer share.
In addition to these three players, the Longteng team also made money from the sale of other players. For example, the team's third goalkeeper Song Jianhua was sold.
As the substitute goalkeeper of the Longteng team last season, it is not possible to say how good Song Jianhua performed, but after all, he is a player who has participated in the AFC Champions League and the Chinese Super League, and his performance is quite satisfactory, even as a substitute for the Chinese Super League team.
There is no catch, but as a substitute for the Chinese League One team, it is more than enough.
At the end of the season, knowing that he had basically no chance to play next season, he chose to apply for a transfer. Zhang Sheng was also very happy to let him go, because the substitute goalkeeper in the reserve team is now about the same strength as him, and the third goalkeeper is not needed.
I don't care too much. Since Song Jianhua wants to go out to play games and be a good person, he still has to do what is necessary to follow the flow of favor.
What Zhang Sheng never expected was that players like Song Jianhua would actually arouse competition from many teams in the Chinese League One. Especially this season, there are a few more wealthy players in the Chinese League One, such as Beijing Beikong and Hebei China Fortune.
The team is investing heavily before the season.
Young players with high-level game experience like Song Jianhua are very popular. In the end, Beijing Enterprises bought him for 1 million, which made Zhang Sheng, who was ready to give it away, dumbfounded. Others were rushing to give money, so it was hard for him to refuse.
At the same time, some players from the U19 and reserve teams were also poached by other teams. Thanks to the outstanding results of Longteng Football School and the reserve team, these non-system call players are also favored by many people. Since they want to poach players from the Longteng team
, expenses such as training fees are necessary, and at the end of the year, the Chinese Football Association deliberately increased the price of the compensation mechanism for training young players. The Longteng team has recovered all the capital of the echelon, with tens of players and millions
With the training fee, the U19 echelon and reserve team, which have relatively low expenses, basically have full-year operating funds.
Zhang Sheng had to lament that football is all about performance. If the performance is good, the team can monetize everything. If the performance is not good, the players will be given away for nothing and others will not help you pay your salary.
Of course, there is more good news this season, such as the number of fans attending games and ticket prices.
