It is said that it is also related to the opening match. The opening ceremony of the Chinese Super League last season was held in Guangzhou. Zhang Sheng still clearly remembers how much money Guangzhou Evergrande spent to host the opening ceremony. The first Chinese Super League match of the Longteng team was also
In the game that was arranged, the Longteng team ended up drawing 1:1 with their opponent in the away game, which made Evergrande really embarrassed.
This season, the opening ceremony of the Chinese Super League was arranged in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. The home team was Hangzhou Greentown, and this game happened to be the first Chinese Super League game of the season for the Longteng team.
No need to think about it, the Hangzhou Huanglong Stadium will definitely be decorated with flowers and colorful flags flying. Hangzhou Greentown will definitely be the protagonist, and the Longteng team will be reduced to a supporting role.
This time the Longteng team may embarrass the home team even more than last time. After all, compared to Guangzhou Evergrande, Hangzhou Greentown does not have the strength to compete with the Longteng team. Even with the home buff and the opening buff, it will not work. They will take all three points.
This is a task that the Dragon Team must complete.
However, the day before Zhang Sheng led the team to Hangzhou, there was news about the players summoned by the system, and the arrival of the players had some twists and turns.
The Longteng team established a football base in Anhui Province, a neighboring province, at the end of last season. This is an underdeveloped province of Chinese football. There has been no Chinese Super League team for many years, and there are even very few Chinese League One teams. Historically
The two Chinese League One teams on the list were both outsiders, and their lives in Anhui Province were not very satisfactory. In the end, they left and dispersed due to various reasons.
So when the Longteng Football Team established a branch in the past, the local Provincial Sports Bureau was very welcoming. However, when the Longteng Football School was successfully established, that was the end of the matter. After that, they gradually lost interest and turned to the local sports bureau.
Players who are not very strong are very strict and do not allow the Longteng team to have a chance to intervene.
When the Longteng team's scouts took a fancy to a full-back from their provincial team, they made a lot of demands. For example, the local sports bureau wanted ownership of the player, and he had to participate in the National Games regardless of whether he played in the Chinese Super League or not.
Weird conditions.
Some people even said through channels: "As long as the players express themselves properly, not only can the relationship be handled smoothly, but it can also be much cheaper."
When the football school was about to spend money to ward off the disaster, Zhang Sheng stopped it when the Longteng Club was about to express his opinion, because Zhang Sheng knew that Anhui Province had not been peaceful in the past few years. There were a large number of officials who had problems, and there were also people on the sports front.
If something goes wrong, I would rather spend more money to buy out the player's ownership than get involved in this matter.
Zhang Sheng's approach was very "irregular", which caused difficulties in subsequent negotiations on player ownership. The more serious problem was that some thoughtful people spread the news that Zhang Sheng was planning to introduce this player as a key player.
As the football school with the most fruitful results in youth training in recent years, Longteng Football School has long been watched by countless people. Zhang Sheng’s ability to turn stone into gold has been noticed by countless clubs and agents. Zhang Sheng’s usual speed in selecting players
They are all super fast. When people outside heard about it, Longteng Football School or the club had already handled everything seamlessly. Now they are in a tug of war, and now things are complicated.
During the negotiation process, the player named Tian Qijie was like a big pile of honey, attracting not only bees and ants - agents with ideas, but also bears - clubs.
There are countless people who are capable, incompetent, working alone, giants, and want to cut off the losers. Zhang Sheng spent so much effort to introduce this little-known player. The potential of the player is absolutely unlimited.
But in the end, it’s the players’ parents and the players themselves who matter.
As a club that trains young players and is willing to let them play, the Dragons have long been a target that parents and players have flocked to.
After Zhang Sheng guaranteed the player's future, provided a detailed training plan, and promised playing time when he was old enough, Tian Qijie and his parents chose Longteng Football School.
Of course, they were not stupid. Tian Qijie's parents used the buyout contract amount provided by other clubs and agents to bargain with Longteng Football School, causing Longteng Football School to spend a lot of money - more than 1 million in cash.
This is also the highest price that Longteng Football School has paid to recruit players so far. When Tian Qijie signed his name on his contract, Zhang Sheng was completely relieved.
Because Tian Qijie has reached the age of 18 and already has independent citizenship, his signature means that the ownership of the player belongs 100% to Longteng Football School.
Having solved the problem of player summoning, Zhang Sheng can finally lead the team to Hangzhou with ease.
After arriving in Hangzhou, Zhang Sheng received news that the popular trend of frugality has spread to the opening ceremony of the Chinese Super League. Fans are likely to have another historic Spring Festival Gala after experiencing the simplest Spring Festival Gala in history.
The crudest Chinese Super League opening ceremony ever.
When the opening ceremony officially started, everything became a reality. Although the singer Ping An sang and the national football coach Perlan gave a speech at the opening ceremony, the slightly crude opening ceremony also caused many netizens to complain.
At the beginning of the opening ceremony, a group of students dressed in yellow began a group gymnastics performance.
Fans who have experienced tasteless group gymnastics performances from elementary school, middle school to university obviously don't buy it. This kind of uncreative performance triggered large-scale complaints from fans.
Some fans expressed on Weibo, "The cheerleaders at the opening ceremony are here to make fun of themselves, they are all a mess!".
Some fans wrote, "Is this the student performance team from Lijiagou Primary School in XX County?"
Some fans are dissatisfied with the improvised students, "The physical fitness of today's students is so bad, they have all kinds of weight!"
What embarrassed the broadcaster CCTV the most was the speech session by the fan representatives.
Last year, Ma's richest man did not invest in his hometown team Hangzhou Greentown, but instead switched to Guangzhou Evergrande. This has long made Hangzhou fans resentful. When the host Zhang Bin just introduced the Evergrande fan representative, he was booed by the fans at the scene. In response to this
, CCTV broadcast also urgently eliminated the live sound in the stands.
No matter how the opening ceremony went, even though it was commented by many fans as "the worst in history", the 2015 Chinese Super League season started as scheduled.
Before the game, the outside world unanimously believed that Hangzhou Greentown would cause a lot of trouble for the Longteng team, because the French football coach Troussier, nicknamed the "White Wizard", made an amazing appearance after coming to China to coach for the second time. During the winter training
During this period, he led the Greentown team to defeat SIPG, Guoan, Sainty, and drew with Evergrande, earning him the reputation of "King of Warm-up Matches" in the world.
In an interview with reporters, Troussier said that 80% of his transformation of the team has been completed.
When a reporter asked what he thought of the opponent Longteng in this game, Troussier said: "I know them. They are the upstarts of the Chinese Super League and are very strong, but we believe that at our home court, I will let them know that we are
Determination to win.”
But during the game, he discovered that the Dragon Team was far stronger than he thought.
They also want to build the team into a passing and controlling team, and the Longteng team's passing and controlling ability far exceeds that of Hangzhou Greentown.
After the game started, Hangzhou Greentown was pressed by the Longteng team at the kick-off. They soon lost the ball, and the rest of the game was completely controlled by the Longteng team.
The Longteng team completed three high-quality shots in the first ten minutes. Fortunately, Hangzhou Greentown's goalkeeper Gu Chao performed well and kept the goal.
However, such passive defense is very dangerous. If the defensive player is distracted for a moment, it will lead to disaster.
Sure enough, in the 18th minute of the first half, Lin Feng's passing organization in the midfield was effective. Greentown's players kept running with the rhythm of the Longteng team, and someone was missed in the penalty area. Pato received Tao Wentao's pass.
After passing the ball, he successfully hit an empty goal in the penalty area and the score became 0:1.
In desperation, Hangzhou Greentown's players had to give up their existing tactics and frequently used fouls to interrupt the Longteng team's offense. This time they indeed delayed the Longteng team's offense, but their own offense had no structure.
, the head coach’s arrangements before the game were in vain.
Troussier wanted to change this situation, but seeing the players who were completely unable to compete with the Dragons, he could only acquiesce to the players' approach.
In the end, the first half ended with 0:1.
During the halftime break, Troussier asked the players to play more proactively and stick to his passing and controlling style. Zhang Sheng chatted easily with the players and asked them to maintain their performance in the first half.
In the second half, the game between the two sides was very open. The Greentown players kept Troussier's request in mind and developed a desperate offense regardless of the defense. As for the Longteng team, they insisted on their own tactics and attacked with all their strength.
.
Now the game is open and good-looking, and the home fans are satisfied, but Greentown is also in greater danger.
In the 55th minute, it was Lin Feng's organization in the midfield that broke through Greentown's defense. This time it was Pato who assisted, and Nie Jiang scored the goal. This was also Nie Jiang's first goal in the Chinese Super League.
.
The commentator in charge of the commentary also specifically mentioned Nie Jiang's age: "Nie Jiang, the young player who scored the goal for the Dragons, is only 17 years and 24 days old. The previous record for the youngest age to score a goal in the Chinese Professional Football League was set by Guangzhou Evergrande.
Huang Bowen held it when he was only 16 years and 317 days old. Although Nie Jiang is a little worse than this record, he has already broken the record of the youngest goal-scoring age in the AFC Champions League before. He is a talented player. If this momentum continues,
He should be no worse than Huang Bowen."
If Zhang Sheng heard this, he would definitely not agree. Nie Jiang can have a potential of 110. Except for the few players summoned later, there are few players in the country who can match this number. His future is far better than Huang Bowen.
There is a future.
The score of 0:2 made Hangzhou Greentown's players a little discouraged. They also tried hard to attack, but the Longteng team's defense and midfield interception were too strong, and it seemed that they were also playing well.
started, but the threat to the Longteng team's goal was not great. More often, they could only use long-range shots from the outside to threaten the Longteng team's goal.
Although Troussier had already made a substitution during the halftime break, he now had to make another substitution, hoping to change the situation on the field through personnel adjustments, but unfortunately the effect was not great.
The score on the field made Zhang Sheng completely relieved now. Only sixty minutes into the second half, Zhang Sheng made a substitution because he had just scored in an AFC Champions League game four days ago.
Coming here to play an away game, the players were still quite tired, so Zhang Sheng also started to adjust substitutions. Compared to Troussier's substitutions, Zhang Sheng's substitutions were more about preserving strength.
Moreover, Zhang Sheng's substitutions did not weaken the strength too much. Whether it was Ivo who replaced Pato, Du Zhenyu who replaced Ma Wynn, or Zou Weijia who replaced Nie Jiang, they all had good strength.
The performance is also very good.
Ivo scored another goal before the end of the game, turning the score into 0:3. Playing at home, and being the host of the opening ceremony, Hangzhou Greentown was completely embarrassed. This was the first time in the history of the Chinese Super League.
The host nation lost in the opening ceremony.
After the game, Troussier said helplessly: 'The opponent's strength is too strong. Whether it is foreign players or domestic players, the opponent has the top strength in the Chinese Super League. We made too many mistakes in offense and defense. Next
We will work hard to improve.'
Zhang Sheng sent out a lot of kind words for free: "Hangzhou Greentown is a team with a very beautiful playing style. They have a group of very outstanding young players. I am optimistic about their future."
After hearing Zhang Sheng's words, some fans ridiculed on the Internet: "The Longteng team has the youngest lineup in the Chinese Super League. Now they beat the opponent like this, and they actually say that they are not too young. It is really invisible. It's the most deadly."
.”
After the first round, last season's top three teams Guangzhou Evergrande, Beijing Guoan and Longteng all won. Compared to Guoan and Longteng, who both easily won 3-0, Guangzhou Evergrande won
It was very difficult. The newly promoted team Shijiazhuang Yongchang created a lot of trouble for them.
They first broke through the gate of Evergrande in the away game and took a 1:0 lead. It was not until the stoppage time before the end of the first half that Evergrande equalized the score with Goulart. In the second half, the united Shijiazhuang Yongchang gave Guangzhou Evergrande not many chances.
, it was not until the countdown of stoppage time that the Han Chao took the lead.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Alan was seriously injured for five months and Zeng Cheng was seriously injured for one month in the previous AFC Champions League. Evergrande's luck is really not that good. In addition, the previous team's meritorious coach Lippi has officially submitted his resignation and returned to Italy.
, the players were more or less affected, but this game also indicates that Guangzhou Evergrande’s Chinese Super League this season will not be so easy.
