But the good times didn't last long. Twenty minutes into the second half of the game, the Longteng team's players were replaced one after another. The gap between the substitute players and the Japanese team became clear. Although Shan Huanhuan, who came on to replace Wang Xing, was also a high center, he
He does not have Wang Xing's ability to control the ball, and his frequent mistakes in the frontcourt gave the Japanese team many opportunities to counterattack.
Although Huang Dawei jumped left and right, he still failed to defend the goal. In the 31st minute of the second half, Takeru Kishimoto got an unmarked opportunity in the penalty area and hit the goal, and the score was tied to 1:1.
After that, the situation of the National Youth Team became even worse, and Huang Dawei became the busiest player on the field. He Wei kept praising the National Youth Team for having a super capable goalkeeper.
In the end, the National Youth Team relied on Huang Dawei's outstanding performance to keep the game level.
The situation of the National Youth Team in this game can be said to be mixed. The good news is that the strength of the main lineup, which is mainly composed of Longteng players, is definitely top-notch. It even has a certain advantage when facing the Japanese National Youth Team. The worrying thing is that
The substitute players were really weak and were completely at a disadvantage when facing the Japanese team's substitute players.
If no new outstanding players emerge in this generation of China, by the time they reach adulthood, they may fall behind old rivals such as Japan and South Korea in terms of overall strength.
Zhang Sheng is also deeply worried. He can only hope that he can win more games and call on more players to slowly make up for the lost ten years of Chinese football.
While Zhang Sheng was still planning for the future of Chinese football, big news about the second transfer of the Chinese Super League came one after another. The first was on June 28. After Shanghai Shenhua spent a lot of money to buy Sissoko, it made another official announcement.
With the signing of a first-tier European player, former Chelsea striker Demba Ba has joined the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Shenhua’s two consecutive signings have focused everyone’s attention on Shanghai Bund.
So far this season, Shanghai Shenhua's performance has been extremely sluggish. Halfway through the league schedule, they have actually reached the third to last place in the league. Excluding Guizhou Renhe, who are basically destined to be relegated, they are only behind Tianjin TEDA, which is second to last.
Two points higher.
Of course, this season's Chinese Super League rankings are indeed a bit sensational.
Counting up from the second-to-last Tianjin TEDA to the sixth-ranked Jiangsu Sainty, there is only a 6-point gap between the two teams. In other words, the current sixth-ranked league has a high probability of being relegated.
In addition, Shanghai SIPG, which is ranked fifth with 24 points, also has the theoretical possibility of being relegated, and the relegation legion is really too huge.
Zhang Sheng certainly knew the reason for this.
After the league was upgraded this season, the midfielders and backfield players of each team, which are mainly local Chinese players, have increased significantly due to more opportunities to play and practice, so once there are no teams such as the Longteng team,
With such an overwhelming advantage in strength, victory or defeat is often determined by a single thought.
This has resulted in many matches with many draws, and of course the points gap between them cannot be widened.
There are only two possibilities to break this deadlock. One is to invite extremely high-level foreign players and let the foreign players use their own strength to crush the opponent's defense. The other is to invite a suitable head coach to create suitable tactics and use more clever tactics.
Use tactical advantages and on-the-spot command to win.
As for the team that neither wants to introduce good foreign players nor hire a suitable coach, it is a natural target for relegation. And a team like Guizhou Renhe, which is not strong enough and has fierce internal struggles, will definitely be relegated.
of.
While Shanghai Shenhua took the lead in changing foreign sources to attract attention, several other rumors made Chinese Super League fans excited.
First of all, there is news from Guangzhou Evergrande that Brazilian international Paulinho will transfer to the team and return to play under Scolari. At the same time, Rene, who overlaps with his position, will be loaned back to Brazil to make way for him.
.
Then there were foreign media reports that Shandong Luneng was contacting Robinho, hoping to introduce him to the team.
These news can be said to be true or false. For example, Paulinho is true, while Robinho is the foreign media who got the wrong team.
Amid the turmoil of various signing rumors from the outside world, Zhang Sheng was paying attention to the matches of the Chinese National Youth Team and preparing for the next Chinese Super League game.
The media has nothing but praise for the Longteng team, which is in such a stable state but appears to be extremely low-key.
The last round of games was the last game of the first stage of the Chinese Super League. The Longteng team easily won the half-time championship with a 12-point lead over the second place Beijing Guoan.
This very directional stage championship has become the focus of media attention.
Most leagues attach great importance to the half-season championship, because it often represents a team's overall strength.
For example, the English Premier League's half-time champion has a 71.3 chance of eventually winning the championship, and the same is true for La Liga. The competition for the Bundesliga's winter championship is even more intense, because the half-time champion's chance of finally winning the championship is also as high as 67%.
Likewise, the half-time championship team of the Chinese Super League has a probability of winning as high as 71.4%, especially for a team like the Dragons that leads by a big score, which is a sure thing.
Many media have already "appointed" the Dragon Team as the champion.
In the National Youth Team match on the afternoon of June 28, the boys of the Longteng Team were even more fired up. Nie Jiang completed his second hat trick in the National Youth Team. Zeng Fusheng and Xiang Tiange also scored goals respectively.
After scoring a goal, the team finally defeated the Kyrgyzstan National Youth Team 5:0, and only finished second in the Panda Cup with a goal difference disadvantage.
But this result made the fans extremely happy, and everyone began to give them the title of Platinum Generation again, hoping that they can carry the future of Chinese football.
In the Chinese Super League held in the evening, the first-team players of the Longteng team did not lose to their little brothers. Playing at home, they defeated the visiting Hangzhou Greentown 4:1.
When the Longteng team won this game, it also set a record of nine consecutive victories in the Chinese Super League. The media even exclaimed "Who can stop the Longteng team?"
In this round of games, Guangzhou Evergrande once again suffered an upset. They were tied 1:1 by newly promoted Shijiazhuang Yongchang in the away game. Now the team is four points less than the second-ranked Beijing Guoan. It can be said that the team
The time has come when a complete rebound is needed.
Soon they officially announced the joining of Paulinho on the second day of the game. The arrival of this Brazilian iron waist gave the team a shot in the arm.
Zhang Sheng also knows that Paulinho will be the most cost-effective signing for Guangzhou Evergrande in recent years. With his ability, the transfer fee of only 14 million euros was paid. It can only be said that Scolari is as good as
The world-class coach is still very appealing, and Guangzhou Evergrande’s uniform team has also made a great contribution.
You must know that in the summer transfer after the Confederations Cup in 2013, Paulinho joined the Premier League powerhouse Tottenham Hotspur for a very high price of 20 million euros. If he can play as super as he has historically
If you have a high status, you will really make a lot of money.
In fact, as a reborn person, Zhang Sheng sent someone to contact Paulinho. Unfortunately, others ignored the conditions offered by the Longteng Club and did not even give him a chance to negotiate. Zhang Sheng had no choice but to give up later.
Comparing the signings from Guangzhou Evergrande, Zhang Sheng could only shake his head secretly, but the players who returned from the National Youth Team soon made Zhang Sheng happy again. Obviously, this international competition gave them greater confidence.
Just after this round of games, the Chinese Super League resumed its rhythm of one game a week.
Therefore, most of the main players of the first team of the Longteng team and the players of the National Youth Team will have a rare rest time, which can be regarded as giving back the rest time occupied by the previous continuous battles.
When the players got a two-day holiday to rest well, Zhang Sheng was at the club accepting the two foreign players they had purchased previously.
When Zhang Sheng met Andres Chavez and Moto Fernando, both of them were full of novelty. As a mysterious country thousands of miles away, they had heard too many rumors in their hometown.
.
Zhang Sheng greeted them enthusiastically in Portuguese, which made them feel at ease. At least a head coach who could communicate easily would be a great advantage for them.
Next, Zhang Sheng showed them around the various facilities of the club, and finally the club staff took them for a physical examination.
Zhang Sheng and the coaching staff began to discuss the use of the two of them.
Because the current foreign aid policy implemented by the Chinese Super League is "41", which means one Asian and foreign aid plus four non-Asian and foreign aid. However, after Ivo and McGowan left, the Longteng team has no Asian and foreign aid, but still has five foreign aids.
.
Then one of these five foreign players is destined to be unable to sign up for this season's games. Who this foreign player is becomes a question that the coaching staff must weigh.
As the absolute main force of the team, Pato, Ben Arfa and Roque Gil are of course impossible to exclude from the lineup, so this candidate can only choose between Andres Chavez and Moto Fernando.
Already.
The coaching staff analyzed the technical characteristics and strength between the two, and finally chose to keep Andres Chavez in the team, while Moto Fernando will be loaned to other teams to participate in games, such as
Those teams in the Chinese League One that are not financially well-off.
In fact, when the coaching staff started the discussion, Zhang Sheng also made his own assessment.
First judge based on the player's index.
Andres Chavez's current ability value/potential value is 100/112, which can be said to be absolutely top-notch at the Chinese Super League level, while the ability value/potential value of Moto Fernando is 84/105.
If you look at it purely from the ability index, Andres Chavez is definitely the one who should stay in the team.
Secondly, in terms of the characteristics of the two players, Andres Chavez is the typical black and tough one, with a height of 1.85 meters and enough weight. As an Argentine player who also plays in Brazil, he
He not only has the comprehensive technical characteristics of Argentinian players, but also has certain single-player combat capabilities.
On the other hand, Fernando Moto, apart from his advantage of being fast, he doesn't have many other abilities.
Judging from the current tactical play and positioning of the Longteng team in the Chinese Super League, Andres Chavez is also more able to play a role in Zhang Sheng's tactical system. He can not only get the ball in the frontcourt but also help the players behind him.
He can play with the ball, and can use breakthroughs to give the team opportunities when the team needs him to speed up the offensive rhythm.
Moto Fernando is more suitable for teams that play defensive counterattacks, giving him a huge sprint space to fight the opponent's counterattacks. This is of little use to the Longteng team, which is already destined to control the ball, unless it is in the world.
In a game like the Club Cup, the Longteng team needs to defend firmly and then counterattack.
Finally, after Zhang Sheng considered the opinions of the coaching staff, he began to look for opportunities to loan out Fernando Moto.
The medical examination reports of Andres Chavez and Fernando were quickly sent to Zhang Sheng by the staff. Judging from the results of the physical examination, both of them were in very good physical condition.
The current Brazilian League is in the league period, and the players' condition remains at its peak. The two of them can directly invest in the Chinese Super League without making any physical adjustments.
During the conversation with Fernando, he wisely chose to agree to be loaned to other teams. After all, he came to China to play for no other reason than for a salary that was much higher than that in Brazil, so that he could get his salary on time.
, just play the game well by yourself, and where to play is not a question that needs to be studied deeply.
Soon Fernando was taken over by Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard.
This season, the Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopards are considered a dark horse in the Chinese League One. With the help of Yan Xiaoyu and Qu Wenming, they are now ranked ninth in the league with 17 points. It seems that the results are not very good, but
Compared with the club's investment, it can be said that they have achieved excellent results.
And their achievement was achieved after Yan Xiaoyu and Qu Wenming went to play the Toulon Cup and suffered four losses and one draw in the five rounds. If it weren't for the departure of these two core players, they would have lost by now.
It is in the top three positions in the league.
In order to make up for their losses, Zhang Sheng loaned Fernando to them at the right time. They happened to be suffering from the poor ability of their foreign forwards. The main forward Felipe scored very few goals. The arrival of Fernando can be regarded as an instant cooperation between the two clubs.
.
After dealing with the two foreign players, Zhang Sheng once again devoted himself to the league.
This time the Longteng team's opponent is Shanghai Greenland Shenhua.
After the second transfer of the Chinese Super League started, Shanghai Shenhua took the initiative and signed two strong players, Sissoko and Demba Ba, in preparation for the upcoming relegation battle.
Because Demba Ba just arrived and has not yet adjusted to the team, he missed the game. However, Sissoko, who has been with the team for ten days, appeared in the starting lineup.
After the game, the defensive midfield combination of Sissoko and Sun Yu became the biggest obstacle for the Longteng team in the offense.
Especially Sissoko, who just arrived in the Chinese Super League. When he was in good health, he finally provided Shenhua with the hardness and turnover of the back midfielder that he had wanted since the season.
