If Zhang Sheng heard Shao Shengyi's summary, he would definitely refute it on the spot.
If an offensive player can score one goal in ten attacks in a game, then the last thing people will remember is his performance when he scores. And a defender, especially at the central defender position, let alone
Ten mistakes, one mistake may ruin the victory of a game. Once they make a mistake, the fans will always say that so-and-so cheated the game.
In this game, as a rookie player, Nie Jiang missed many good opportunities, but his one goal made everyone forget about his wasted opportunities.
On the other hand, Du Zhenyu actually performed on the passing line most of the time. Unfortunately, he lost the ball due to a mistake and everyone remembered the mistake he made. Moreover, Du Zhenyu is not the kind of defender with good foot skills and cannot play behind the ball.
The defense line organizes the offense and does not have the opportunity to touch the ball frequently. His characteristics can only make him a blue-collar player who does the dirty and tiring work at the center back.
So people will always see his embarrassed performance.
Central defenders like Du Zhenyu often have a very rough growth.
Maybe they will be pushed into the central defender position at some point, and then barely meet the coach's requirements. Once they are allowed to start and play the whole game from the beginning, mistakes in the game are necessary.
Most of the people waiting for them after making mistakes are being pushed to the bench, and then they are tempered through training. They spend the first half of their careers through the cycle of playing - making mistakes - subbing - playing again - making more mistakes again, and wait until
They dug countless pits for themselves, climbed out of countless pits, and learned a lot of lessons to secure their position as the main center back.
Du Zhenyu's current performance without too much pressure must be attributed to Zhang Sheng. After all, Zhang Sheng is added to the system. He has golden finger items such as senior player growth accelerators for him to use, allowing him to remember his mistakes faster.
, correct their mistakes and accelerate their growth.
Providing a good environment for the growth of these players is what Zhang Sheng wants to do.
After the game, Zhang Sheng found Du Zhenyu again. This was the third time Zhang Sheng had a private conversation with him. Du Zhenyu was also very surprised. After all, situations like this rarely happen in the team.
During the conversation, Zhang Sheng once again expressed his recognition of Du Zhenyu's performance: "This is an AFC Champions League game. The difficulty of the game is far more than any previous Chinese Super League game. But you still held on, and I didn't care about that conceded goal.
It's your fault, his physical fitness is indeed better than yours, a dark and tough forward is not so easy to completely prevent. Keep working hard in the next game, and I will let you start!"
After listening to Zhang Sheng's words, Du Zhenyu was very moved. If a coach can trust him so much, he should repay him with his best performance.
In the weekend game, Du Zhenyu still appeared in the starting central defender position. As if the goal conceded due to his two mistakes in the previous game did not exist, Zhang Sheng still gave him enough trust.
In this ordinary league game against Changchun Yatai, there were enough topics because of Du Zhenyu's appearance. In addition to Zhang Sheng's trust in him, another reason is that there is also a player named Changchun Yatai on the court.
As for Du Zhenyu’s players, everyone wants to see a confrontation between two players with the same name and surname. Moreover, Changchun Yatai’s Du Zhenyu still plays an offensive position, so it is very likely that he will face off against the Longteng team’s player.
As a player who led Changchun Yatai to win the Chinese Super League championship with the "Zhendong Combination" (Du Zhenyu, Wang Dong), won the Chinese Footballer of the Year that year, and was a torchbearer for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, his strength is beyond doubt.
In this game, he also showed a high technical level. In the 32nd minute of the first half, he made a forward pass in the midfield to reverse offside and taught Du Zhenyu a lesson.
Young Du Zhenyu, who did not have a tacit understanding with other players of the Longteng team, gave old Du Zhenyu a chance. The opponent faced him and after receiving the ball, he passed the ball without stopping to form a single goal, and then directly volleyed the ball, making Zhou Wei unable to save, and the score
It became 1:0, and the Longteng team fell behind in the away game.
The Longteng team did not play very well overall in this game. Just like last year, Changchun Yatai's bad venue had a great impact on the Longteng team's passing and receiving cooperation on the ground. Many of the Longteng team's short passes were not very accurate for this reason.
, the offensive speed has never been able to increase.
It wasn't until the second half that the Longteng team relied on Ivo, who came on as a substitute for Ben Arfa, who was slightly injured, to equalize the score with a long shot.
In the next game, Changchun Yatai defended across the board, and the Longteng team's offense also performed very average. The final score ended at 1:1.
The Longteng team still failed to win the away game in Changchun, and Changchun Yatai once again became the suffering host of the Longteng team.
After the game, Du Zhenyu's performance was criticized by everyone again. The ball he lost after being thrown away by his senior with the same name and surname with a beautiful move became the subject of ridicule by countless media and fans.
But Zhang Sheng saw improvement from Du Zhenyu's performance. Apart from the failed anti-offside attempt, he made few mistakes throughout the game.
Especially when faced with the impact of two foreign forwards with their own characteristics, such as Moreno and Matsu, he maintained a high defensive level. When fighting against these two forwards who were mainly technical and physical, his position
He stood firm and didn't give them any chance.
This proves that he is no longer the central defender who relies solely on his body to make a living.
After this game, although the Longteng team was tied in the away game, as Evergrande was tied at home and Beijing Guoan was defeated in the away game, the Longteng team still led the standings with 17 points.
As the only team that has not lost in the league so far, the Longteng team has demonstrated its superior strength in the Chinese Super League.
Although Du Zhenyu's growth makes Zhang Sheng very happy, the team's shortcomings in the central defender still make Zhang Sheng wary. After this game, the summoning points reached 130 points, which allows Zhang Sheng to summon players again.
Of course he chose to call on the central defender.
Soon the system also gave two player options:
"A standard central defender, with a height of 1.87 meters, he can withstand the opponent's high-altitude bombing, and he will not be slow due to his too tall stature. Likewise, his abilities in various aspects are also reflected in his physical condition.
That way, everything is moderate. However, this player also has no characteristics because of his too average ability value. You can't expect him to become a leader at center back, you can only watch him slowly grow into a role player. But every ball
The team also needs people like this, right?" Ability value/potential value: 50/95.
"This is a chasing center back. He has super explosive power. At the same time, he also has a type of muscle that is rare for yellow people, and his jumping height is amazing. With him on the back line, we are no longer afraid of those who can run faster than us.
Western reporters are faster forwards. Of course, his shortcomings are also very obvious. He is only 1.73 meters tall. Even with this height and his amazing jumping, he will be at a disadvantage when facing those tall centers. In terms of weight,
It's even worse. It depends on whether your team's tactics need him." Ability value/potential value: 50/95.
Seeing these two players, Zhang Sheng really couldn't choose between them.
The first player is indeed what all teams need, but their growth process is generally very long. Maybe after Zhang Sheng calls him out, it will take 4-5 years to take shape. This is for those who are eager for quick results.
Zhang Sheng really couldn't accept it.
The second defender is really good at chasing back, but he has a fatal weakness, that is, he is too short.
In the tactics after Zhang Sheng, the team must move the back line forward as a whole and press high, so it is necessary to have a chasing center back among the center backs. The current Ma Yongli is of this type.
It's just a low-end version - it's not fast enough.
Seeing the height of the second player, Zhang Sheng thought of Inter Milan's former vice-captain, Cordoba. This summoned player is obviously his low-end version, but I don't know what attributes his low-end match has.
.
In the end, Zhang Sheng still could not resist the temptation of the second player. Ma Yongli really needed a reserve player of the same type. After hesitating for a while, he chose the second player.
Just the day before the start of the next league game, Zhang Sheng accepted this player, and the arrival of this player was somewhat dramatic.
This player named Lu Yangyang is not the player that the Longteng team focuses on. On the contrary, it is his teammates who have been paying attention to the Longteng team's scouts.
He and his teammates are all from Jianggan Province. After Longteng Football School opened a branch in Jianggan Province, it has been exploring young talents in this province. Among them, players from the famous Porcelain City Echelon in Jianggan Province attracted the attention of Longteng Football School.
Scout attention.
In fact, the object of scouts' attention is not Lu Yangyang, but the main forward of this echelon. Lu Yangyang is the substitute forward of this city echelon.
Because of Lu Yangyang's extremely fast speed and amazing jumping, he has always been used as a forward by domestic coaches who value his physical fitness. In the early days, he did thrive in the forward line relying on his extraordinary physical fitness.
However, as he grew older, his shooting ability still showed no progress, and even his height did not increase. He grew up very early and was 1.7 meters tall at the age of thirteen. He is now almost sixteen years old.
, still only 1.73 meters tall.
He has also gradually moved from the main forward position to the substitute forward position, and now he has become a substitute substitute.
With the signing of rules for professional players by the Chinese Football Association at the end of last year, he was born on May 9, 1999 and will soon reach the age of sixteen. However, it is obvious that the city echelon does not want to promote him to the higher age echelon, nor does it
Professional teams came to him to sign contracts.
Whether to continue playing football or not has become a difficult decision for him and his family.
Unlike his parents who wanted to give up, the stubborn Lu Yangyang did not want to end his playing career like this. He proposed to try out at the main campus of Longteng Football School, where most of the young people in China who are interested in football are now.
's holy place.
After his repeated requests, his parents agreed to his request, which was regarded as fulfilling his long-cherished wish.
During the trial training at Longteng Football School, he proposed to play as a forward, but he failed completely in the trial training. No one wanted a forward with mediocre physical confrontation and poor shooting skills.
However, Liu Lin, the coach of the U15 echelon of the football school, obviously has his own opinions. He discovered during the game that Lu Yangyang is very capable of chasing back. He did not perform well at the forward position and often chased the opponent's defenders and midfielders, and he was very capable.
Almost succeeded several times.
So Liu Lin did not drive him away, but asked him to play as a central defender for a try. Sure enough, in this trial training, his super fast pursuit ability made him more capable.
Those teammates wiped their butts many times.
Liu Lin discovered that he was a diamond in the rough, but he had been buried by domestic coaches with low levels of talent before.
When Liu Lin reported this matter to Zhang Sheng, Zhang Sheng knew that Lu Yangyang should be the player he summoned this time.
For this reason, Zhang Sheng even praised Liu Lin: "Going to Germany to study for more than a year really paid off. I was able to observe the characteristics of a player so keenly and put him in the position where he should play.
Your ability is definitely at the level of a top youth training coach in the country."
Liu Lin said with a smile: "You are here to bully me again. When it comes to youth training ability, who can compare with you."
Zhang Sheng nodded shamelessly and said: "That's true."
Liu Lin rolled his eyes and said: "You said you are fat and you are breathless. You don't know how to be as humble as me."
Liu Lin's words also made Zhang Sheng laugh: "We are each other."
"But having said that, I also think this player is really good as a central defender. There are fewer chasing central defenders now, but my tactics in the future will be better. Now I will put him in your echelon. You are good.
Help me train him." Zhang Sheng quickly changed the topic and explained sincerely.
"Of course." Liu Lin also said seriously, "It's rare for me to find a good young talent. If I don't bring him out properly, it won't be a waste of our two eyes. Don't worry, I will definitely train him to be the number one in China."
A chasing-type central defender. From now on, he can be regarded as a player brought out by me."
Zhang Sheng also patted Liu Lin on the shoulder happily and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
After leaving Liu Lin, Zhang Sheng was very happy. This happiness was not only because he had summoned another good player, but also because he was excited about the improvement of Liu Lin's current level as a youth training coach.
When I spent a lot of money to send Liu Lin and his group of domestic coaches to Germany for further studies, many outsiders thought that this was a gilded journey for Longteng Football School, which would gain a good reputation for Longteng Football School's future recruitment.
But now Liu Lin has proved with his own actual actions that as long as he is really interested in youth training, further education is still very effective.
I have to keep insisting on sending coaches to Europe to study abroad in football school. Maybe one day Zhang Lin or Li Lin will discover a good player for Chinese football!
