After the end of this round of the AFC Champions League group stage, it also means that the qualifying teams of all groups have been determined. In Group F where the Longteng team is located, in addition to the Longteng team, which has already determined the first place in the group, there is another qualifying team in this round.
The game defeated Gamba Osaka of Seongnam FC at their home court.
At the same time, the results of several other Chinese Super League teams have also been finalized. Guangzhou Evergrande and Beijing Guoan both successfully qualified from their respective groups with first place results in their groups. The only one that did not qualify was the famous "Asia League"
The crown tragedy team” Shandong Luneng.
Faced with the Chinese Super League team’s best AFC Champions League group performance in history, there was suddenly a lot of praise on the Internet.
When the other three Chinese Super League teams except Luneng remained undefeated in the first three rounds, everyone was still afraid that the flag would be raised too high, and a losing streak would result in only two teams qualifying like last year. They did not dare to talk to the media online.
There is a lot of praise on the Internet, and now the grand occasion that all three teams are ranked first in the group has made everyone unanimously believe that the Chinese Super League is the well-deserved first league in Asia.
Especially due to the emergence of the Dragons, the Chinese Super League teams that qualified this year have set off a youth storm. Beijing Guoan's Liu Xing, Gao Jun and Shu Jun, who played the main force in Guangzhou Evergrande due to Cannavaro's emphasis on young players,
Coupled with the fact that the average age of the Longteng team is insanely low, while everyone saw the outstanding performance of the long-established Chinese players, they also saw the dazzling performance of a group of young players.
It seems that Chinese football has not seen such a prosperous scene for some years.
However, only Zhang Sheng knows that, except for a few players in the Longteng team, the other young players have reached their peak level and are unlikely to have any major growth in the future. He wants them to be successful in the next Asian games.
I performed well in the knockout stages of the championship, but it was more difficult.
Of course, Zhang Sheng wouldn't say it if it was such a disgrace, and no one would believe it if he couldn't say it now. After all, others wouldn't be able to see the player's potential like him.
After putting aside these thoughts, Zhang Sheng returned his attention to the Chinese Super League, because there was a Chinese Super League match against Jiangsu Sainty this weekend.
Compared with the first team, which has no injuries or illnesses and is in good condition, other problems have begun to trouble Zhang Sheng again, because this time the U16 national team and the Olympic team have to train for a long time.
The U16 training camp is slightly better. The players they summoned this time are players born in the 1999-2000 age group. There are not many players of this age group in the Longteng team. The only players who meet this condition are non-system summoned players - Wang
Xing, the newly summoned central defender Lu Yangyang.
However, in order to qualify for the U16 qualifiers, the Football Association proposed that two players, Cao Jinghao and Shen Jun, who were born in late 1998, be recruited into this warm-up match. Zhang Sheng flatly refused this rude request.
The players are indeed 16 years old now, but they can only catch up with the budget competition of this year's Asian Youth Championship, and when next year's Asian Youth Championship starts, they will already be over the age.
If the budget games have to rely on these two over-age players from the Longteng team, what will happen in the main games of the Asian and Junior Championships.
Finally, the Longteng Club and the Football Association reached an agreement. When the qualifiers are held in September, Cao Jinghao and Shen Jun can participate in the competition. As for the previous series of warm-up matches, there is no need. Wang Xing and Lu Yangyang can participate in this
games and accumulate experience. After all, neither of them has signed up to participate in the Chinese Super League this season. As the players of Longteng Club signing up for the Chinese Super League this season, Cao Jinghao and Shen Jun do not need to do it. The two of them are likely to have a chance to play in the Chinese Super League.
opportunity, because the Olympic team is also training here, and a large number of people may leave to participate.
At the same time as this U16 national team training, in order to participate in the biennial Toulon Cup, the National Olympic team started a long training camp. According to the preliminary requirements put forward by the Chinese Football Association to the Longteng Club, it can be seen that they are very interested in this Toulon Cup.
The London Cup is taken very seriously.
As the dark horse of the last Toulon Cup, the organizers of the Toulon Cup have once again sent an invitation to the Chinese Football Association, hoping that they can send elite players to participate in this competition. The Chinese Football Association, which has always wanted the Olympic team to run in more, is also following the trend.
If he agrees, the Longteng Club will suffer. Many of the substitutes, rotations and even the main core players are on the list.
This list includes the five substitute players Yao Tian, Zhu Xuhe, Xiong Jian, Du Zhenyu, and Wei Zhimin, as well as the three rotation players Zou Weijia, Yu Bo, and Xiao Yunfan. Of course, the most outrageous ones are Tao Wentao, Lin Feng, and Zhou Zhou.
The three main or even core players of the Dragon Team are included, and Lin Feng and Zhou Zhou are also the first and second captains of the Dragon Team respectively. This can be seen from this that they have great influence in the Dragon Club.
status.
Of course, Zhang Sheng refused the Football Association's request. Not to mention that both Yu Bo and Xiao Yunfan were selected for the national team, Lin Feng and Zhou Zhou were the main players of the national team, and Lin Feng was even regarded as the core player of the team's midfield by the national team coach Perlan.
Treating.
It makes no sense for them to participate in the Toulon Cup, although in terms of age, they are at least one year younger than most of the players on the current Olympic team.
Of course, the Chinese Football Association's proposal to Longteng Club this time is only a preliminary intention. It is estimated that they cannot think that Longteng Club will let players like Lin Feng and Zhou Zhou participate in the Toulon Cup. Now they are just asking for a sky-high price. As for repaying the money on the ground,
Let’s see what Longteng Club did.
For matters like negotiating with the Chinese Football Association, Zhang Sheng has always left it to the club's general manager Ding Kun, so Zhang Sheng only gave Ding Kun a bottom line - neither the main player nor the rotation can go, and the substitutes can also be allowed.
If you go, don't go. If the Football Association is really tough, you can appropriately allow several players in the U19 age group to participate. At the same time, you can divert the trouble and recommend several players on loan to the Football Association. Those players are all 1995
-In the 1996 age group, some of the U19 national team are too old to fit in, and some of the U23 national team are a little too small. Of course, when they were loaned out, Zhang Sheng and the loaned club both signed a condition that they would be released upon call by the national team.
They can be allowed to pass the Olympic team to support their appearance, and their potential is no worse than the main players of the current Longteng team. They may be able to grow faster against those world's strongest teams.
While Ding Kun was arguing with the Chinese Football Association, Zhang Sheng led the team to an away game in the Chinese Super League. This time the opponent was Jiangsu Sainty.
The current lineup of Jiangsu Sainty is still good. There are a group of good domestic players in the team. Historically, they have always performed well in the national team. In terms of foreign players, there are players like Samir who can obviously be a big player in the Chinese Super League.
.
As for the head coach position, because of the emergence of Zhang Sheng, Gao Hongbo no longer has the history of coaching Jiangsu Sainty. Petrescu came to the team half a year early. This coach does have a good way of training defense, but in terms of offensive tactics
There are many problems with the arrangements.
This is exactly what happened in this game. The Longteng team, which came with high morale after qualifying for the AFC Champions League, did not give Jiangsu Sainty many chances from the beginning of the game. Foreign aid forward Kartensen had good shooting ability in the penalty area, but it was a pity that his pair of
First of all, his ability is not enough. The double defensive midfielders of Rock Gil and Lin Feng of the Longteng team basically stopped him in the midfield. On the contrary, the powerful attacking group of the Longteng team could not break the Sainty team's backcourt for a while.
Line of defense.
In the first half, Petrescu could still let the players use their strong running ability to press high, but in the second half, the Longteng team, which had more obvious technical advantages, gradually gained the upper hand. In the 30th minute of the second half,
Pato still had the energy to break through at high speed, but Ren Hang, who was guarding him, couldn't keep up. In the end, Tao Wentao's beautiful through ball found Pato. Pato got rid of Ren Hang's defense and broke into the penalty area to shoot decisively. The goalkeeper
Zhang Sipeng was slow to make the save and could only watch the ball fly into the net.
After the first goal appeared, the rest of the game went smoothly. In the 43rd minute of the second half, the Sainty team, which had lost sight of one another in defense due to physical problems, once again missed a man. Zou Weijia, who came on the bench, made a beautiful header.
Scored the first goal of the Chinese Super League this season, confirming the advantage of the game.
The final score of 2:0 was maintained until the end, and the Longteng team remained undefeated throughout the season.
After the game, everyone reported a lot about this game, but this time the protagonist was not the winning Longteng team, but the losing Jiangsu Sainty, because the two popular international players in the Sainty team, Wu Xi and Sun Ke, were both in the same position.
Amid transfer rumors.
As a player born in Hebei, Wu Xi has always been an important recruiting target for several teams in Hebei. In addition to the wealthy club Hebei China Fortune, which is still in the Chinese League One, Hebei Shijiazhuang Yongchang is also eyeing him.
Most of the rumors about Wu Xi's transfer back to the Hebei team come from this.
Compared to Wu Xi, the transfer of another player, Sun Ke, was even more controversial. As a new star of the national team, his performance in the Asian Cup is obvious to all, and his high level has also become the focus of many players.
The eyesore of the Chinese Super League tycoons.
A large part of the reason for Sun Ke's transfer was because of his salary. After becoming the absolute main force of Jiangsu Sainty in the 2012 season, his annual salary increased to 1 million. This number was acceptable in the Chinese Super League at the time, but here
Since then, the annual salaries of players in various Chinese Super League teams have skyrocketed, but Sun Ke’s annual salary has remained relatively unchanged.
At the end of the 2014 season, Sun Ke's contract was about to expire in only one year. Shun Tian thought of renewing the contract with Sun Ke and raising his salary. However, at this time, some teams had already secretly contacted him and offered him an annual salary of 8 million.
The first domestic player contract in the Chinese Super League, the 500-600w annual salary offered by the Sainty team at the last minute can no longer satisfy Sun Ke.
He has naturally become the focus of the current transfer market.
Of course, after this game, there is a more exciting topic, that is because Guangzhou Evergrande was once again tied at home by its rival Guangzhou R&F. The Longteng team is already 5 points ahead of the second-ranked Guangzhou Evergrande. This is
This is a situation that has never happened in the Chinese Super League in so many years.
Various media have predicted that this season Guangzhou Evergrande will eventually be deposed from the Chinese Super League dominance by the Dragons. At the same time, news that the top boss of Guangzhou Evergrande is dissatisfied with Cannavaro has also spread like wildfire.
There have been rumors about Cannavaro's dismissal for a long time, but Guangzhou Evergrande ranked first in the group in the AFC Champions League and was only 3 points behind the Dragons in the Chinese Super League. In addition, it was not long after the start of the season.
It’s not like there is no history of falling behind slightly at the beginning of the season and then overtaking and firmly ranking first.
But the situation is different now. Guangzhou Evergrande’s biggest competitor, the Longteng Team, not only played with ease in the AFC Champions League, but also won every game in the Chinese Super League with ease. Now the 5-point gap between Evergrande and Evergrande has been reflected in the two teams.
The gap between the teams is that in the national team, the members of the two teams are evenly matched. In terms of foreign aid, Evergrande’s players are not inferior to those of the Longteng team. So from the perspective of Guangzhou Evergrande’s upper management, the head coach is
It became the key to the competition between the two teams.
As the absolute spiritual leader of the Longteng team, Zhang Sheng has been leading the team until now. He is familiar with the team and the Chinese Super League, and his abilities are obvious to all. However, Cannavaro, as a novice coach and new to the Chinese Super League, is obviously not accepted by the upper management of Guangzhou Evergrande.
It is promising that agreeing to him as the head coach at that time was a compromise when Lippi agreed to continue to be the club's technical director. But now that Lippi has left Guangzhou Evergrande, Cannavaro's position is very embarrassing.
When the team's performance did not meet expectations, it became Cannavaro's fate to be dismissed from get out of class.
Regarding these rumors from the outside world, Zhang Sheng probably knew in his heart that Wu Xi's transfer was purely groundless, Sun Ke's transfer was full of twists and turns, and Cannavaro's dismissal was a certainty.
Zhang Sheng was just a spectator in these matters. On the contrary, his club's affairs were a huge headache because the negotiations with the Football Association did not go smoothly.
They did not have strong requirements for the main players and rotation players of the Longteng team, but they had a firm attitude towards several substitute players.
The Chinese Football Association also knew who had the most powerful say in the Longteng Club. When Zhang Sheng began to coordinate with the Football Association, the Football Association was very considerate to Zhang Sheng, who had contributed many people to the national teams at all levels. In the end, Zhu Xuhe and Xiong Jian were allowed
He joined the team this time, but all other players did not go. As a supplement, all the players loaned to the Chinese League One by the Longteng Team were selected for the Olympic team participating this time.
Because this season the players loaned by the Dragons to the Chinese League One have performed beyond the expectations of the loan clubs.
They have become the absolute main force in their respective clubs, especially the Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopards, who have two loaned players from the Dragons. The players they loaned out are the strongest and have the most experience in the game. Now the Tianshan Snow Leopards even stand in the Chinese League One.
In the second place in the league, the results are better than those of the tycoons in the first division.
These players deserve to be selected for this Toulon Cup.
