59. Overseas players

China Fortune Fortune this season has had a bumpy journey so far.

At the beginning of the season, China Fortune Land Development Group, which claims to have more total assets than Evergrande Group, acquired Hebei Zhongji, which struggled to avoid relegation in the Chinese League One last season.

At the beginning of the season, they spent a lot of money to strengthen the team. They invited the famous coach Antic. In terms of foreign aid, they bought Chinese and super foreign players like Milas and Radovic. In terms of domestic aid, they treated some Chinese Super League players as players.

With the introduction of players in 2016, the reputation of "China Evergrande" spread like wildfire.

However, the team's poor foundation meant that they started without a win in three rounds. After that, although there was some improvement, they lost to several direct opponents in succession. Now they are only ranked fourth in the league, far away from them.

The goal is far away.

It should be said that they still suffered from the Dragon Team.

After the Longteng team was promoted to the Chinese Super League, a large number of good players were sold off, which allowed many teams in the Chinese Super League to receive certain supplements. Correspondingly, the substitutes of those previous teams were forced to go to the Chinese Super League to look for opportunities.

The competition in the Chinese League One in these two seasons has become a lot more intense.

At the same time, the Longteng team also likes to loan players to ordinary teams in the Chinese League One. From the perspective of the Longteng team, they want to make it easier for the loaned players to get game opportunities, but in fact, it is a blow to those teams that are aspiring to the Super League.

But it's very big.

Because the players loaned out by the Longteng Team are very strong, teams such as China Fortune Land Development, which are aiming to reach the Super League, suffer a lot from the players of the Longteng Team.

Moreover, this approach of the Longteng team has also caused a trend, that is, several strong teams in the Chinese Super League that have done well in their youth training have begun to loan their promising stars to the Chinese League One to play games in a planned way. This is even more

Improved the overall level of the Chinese League One team.

Under this circumstance, China Fortune Land Development once again made a big move during the second transfer period.

They first bought the "Northern Aegis God" who is also known as the "Northern Aegis God" together with Guangzhou Evergrande's Elkeson from South Korea's K-League hegemon Jeonbuk Hyundai for a transfer fee of three million U.S. dollars and an annual salary of three million U.S. dollars.

"Edu.

This transfer to purchase Edu not only raised eyebrows among domestic colleagues, but also shocked the Korean football community.

Not only did the Korean media, like Jiangsu Sainty's intention to introduce Cui Yongshu a few days ago, make Edu's transfer the headline of the football section, and concentrated many interviews and analysis, Korean fans who left messages online also kept complaining.

One of the Korean fans made the most representative statement: "China's second-tier leagues are all robbing players. It's like robbing beautiful women at the gate of Ewha Womans. It will be difficult to keep the outstanding forwards of each team in the future."

Then Li Tie entered the team with all his resources. He loaned Zhu Xuhe from the Longteng team, and took away the former Longteng forward Deng Chaoqun from Guangzhou Evergrande who had been unable to play in games.

What the Longteng team is facing now is a rich team that has introduced strong reinforcements and aims to surpass the league.

Zhang Sheng did not lead the team to Qinhuangdao, Hebei for this game because Zhang Sheng had to deal with the official transfer of Li Yun and others at the club.

The person who led the team to Qinhuangdao was Xuerle, the team's first assistant coach.

Although the starting players of the Longteng team in this FA Cup are very young, they are still absolutely capable.

The goalkeeper is Huang Dawei; the four defenders are Xiang Tiange, Lu Zhihui, Du Zhenyu and Xiao Yunfan; the midfielders are Xiong Jian, Zhang Hao, Qi Ming, Yu Bo, Yao Tian, ​​and the forwards are teenagers Zou Weijia and Xin Xin.

The incoming foreign aid Andres Chavez sat on the bench, and the substitutes included young players from the National Olympic Team and the National Youth Team.

The starting lineup of the All-Chinese Class of the Longteng Team is still very much concerned.

After the game started, even though they faced China Fortune Fortune with two foreign players, the Longteng team's all-Chinese class lineup still firmly controlled the rhythm of the game.

As the metronome of the team, Qi Ming showed strong midfield control ability. In the first half, the Longteng team relied on his scheduling in the midfield and finally Yao Tian scored a goal.

In the second half, Qi Ming made a beautiful through ball in the midfield and found Xiao Yunfan who was running in from the wing. The latter was pulled down by his opponent in the penalty area, and the Longteng team won a penalty kick.

When Zou Weijia scored the penalty kick, the score became 0:2.

The commentator in charge of the commentary was also shocked by Qi Ming's performance. He kept mentioning Qi Ming's name during the commentary and was amazed by his performance.

What Zhang Sheng valued more was Du Zhenyu's performance in this game.

So far in this game, although Lu Zhihui, as the big brother, has directed the team's defense very well, Du Zhenyu's calm performance makes Zhang Sheng even more happy.

Now Du Zhenyu is no longer the first brother he was when he first started playing as the main force. When facing the strong foreign players in the Hebei China Fortune Team, or the unique point-grabbing forwards like Deng Chaoqun, he can easily handle it.

, giving Lu Zhihui no chance to make amends.

In other words, he is no longer the team's weakness on the field, but has gradually become a qualified rotation player.

After taking the lead, the Longteng team habitually began to use substitute players to gain more game experience. Liming, Zeng Wengrong and Shen Jun all got the chance to play.

China Fortune Land Development also took advantage of the lack of experience of these young players and scored a goal at the last moment to save face.

However, Zhang Sheng still saw Du Zhenyu's weakness from here. When Liming replaced Lu Zhihui, he had no experience in commanding the defense. The final goal conceded was due to the coordination error between him and Liming.

In Zhang Sheng's view, once Du Zhenyu can have a better overall view, it will be time to deliver the tasks assigned to him by the system.

After the game, Li Gang called Zhang Sheng with some annoyance and said: "You are so disrespectful. You, the head coach, are not coming, and the players you sent are all substitutes. The new foreign players have been on the bench for the whole game, but the game has failed."

I won it easily. If I tell you about this in the future, those brothers should not laugh me to death."

Zhang Sheng added with a smile: "I've already given you a lot of face. Originally, I was thinking of sending the second-line team and the reserve team."

Li Gang also knew that Zhang Sheng was joking. He shook his head and said: "I really envy your players. That Qi Ming is so capable that he can't even play as a substitute in your team. When he loaned me players before, he also said

You picked the best one for me, but it seems you are hiding something."

"Don't pay attention to him." Zhang Sheng clearly refused, "This is the midfielder I will train for the club and even the national team in the next ten years. Sooner or later, he will go to Europe to play football."

"Then can Zhu Xuhe just give it to us?" Li Gang said at this time, "He can't be the main player in your team anyway, so he can be the main player in our team."

"Let's talk about it then." Zhang Sheng did not refuse.

In fact, this is the real reason why Li Gang called. Although Zhu Xuhe did not play in this game, after arriving at China Fortune Land Development, he has shown in his usual training that his ability is higher than that of all domestic players in the team. The club also thinks

It seems that the chance of buying him is quite good now.

When Xuerle led the team to play in the FA Cup, Zhang Sheng was at the club handling the transfer matters of Li Yun, Qin Minghao and Xu Mingyu.

When Li Yun transferred to Red Bull Salzburg, his worth was not high. The combined worth of him and Qin Minghao was only 3 million euros, 1.5 million euros each.

However, the two of them are quite powerful. The initial floating clause of 1 million was that Qin Minghao would get an additional 800,000 for ten assists in a season. If Li Yun's steal or interception data ranked among the top five players in the season, an additional 200,000 would be added.

As for the transfer fee, both of them performed well and allowed Longteng Club to receive this million with peace of mind.

Among them, the one that Zhang Sheng values ​​the most is the 30% secondary transfer agreement between the two people.

Zhang Sheng was willing to send the two of them out at such a low price. In addition to not wanting to struggle with the transfer fee and delaying their overseas study, Zhang Sheng also reserved 30% of the secondary transfer agreement as a backup.

Now is the time for this backhand to bring benefits to the club.

Last season, Li Yun has become the core of Leipzig Red Bull's defense. The team's defense he led has conceded the second fewest goals in the Bundesliga. With his age and nationality, it can be said that he is very popular in the entire German league.

Li Yun, who joined Red Bull Leipzig on loan, is not only valued by the Red Bulls, but also Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and Dortmund, a veteran powerhouse with excellent results in recent years. They also want to introduce him, and the price offered is not low.

Among them, Dortmund offered a price of 8 million euros, and Bayern offered a price of 10 million euros. The reputation and strength of these two teams are much better than that of the Leipzig Red Bull team, which is only a tycoon in the second division of Germany.

Therefore, after the Bundesliga 2 last season, RB Leipzig hurriedly started making arrangements for Li Yun's official transfer.

Before, they were prepared to settle the matter with five to six million, but the intervention of Bayern Munich and Dortmund made them panic.

As soon as the news that these two Bundesliga giants wanted to introduce Li Yun came back to China, it was like dropping a bombshell among domestic fans. Everyone was looking forward to Li Yun joining a wealthy club, being able to play the main role in a wealthy club, and being able to

Appeared in the Champions League.

When Li Yun returned to China to participate in the national team competition, he also accepted interviews with domestic media. With a very high emotional intelligence, he neither denied nor confirmed the news. He just said that all this would have to wait until Red Bull Salzburg and his agent.

discuss.

His words confirmed this matter even more.

Compared with the excellent performance of players from Japan, South Korea and even Iran in the Bundesliga in recent years, Chinese players can only join the Bundesliga through sponsors and do not even have the opportunity to play. Chinese fans have always been worried about it. Now there are

They were extremely excited after hearing such news - our country is finally going to have players playing in the Bundesliga, and they are all being sought after by wealthy clubs.

However, they may be disappointed. After returning home, Li Yun and Zhang Sheng also discussed the transfer. Zhang Sheng suggested that Li Yun continue to practice in the Bundesliga for another year, and Li Yun agreed very wisely.

The position of central defender has never been a place for training except for a head coach with systematic support like Zhang Sheng. Li Yun, who has not yet proven himself in the Bundesliga, wants to become the main force in a team like Bayern or Dortmund.

It's just a fantasy.

What's more important is that Li Yun's ability is not enough for him to gain a foothold in a Bundesliga and Champions League team.

Therefore, the quotations from Bayern and Dortmund this time have completely become an opportunity to raise Li Yun's worth, and Zhang Sheng is not afraid that Red Bull Leipzig will not fall into the trap.

Sure enough, Leipzig Red Bull did not hesitate for long. They offered Li Yun a price of 12 million from Salzburg Red Bull, who had the same owner. As a player with 30% of the secondary transfer rights,

The Longteng Club easily gained 3.6 million euros, which means that the Longteng Club gained 5.3 million euros from Li Yun alone.

Even if the inflation index is taken into account, Li Yun's transfer value is higher than Dong Fangzhuo's £3.5 million transfer to Manchester United in 2004. This should be the highest overseas transfer for a Chinese player in history.

Worth it.

The frightened Leipzig Red Bull did not introduce Qin Minghao on loan this time as planned before, but directly bought him for 8 million euros, because according to Qin Minghao's position at Red Bull Salzburg,

Judging from his performance, this is definitely a player with extremely high growth potential. He is one year younger than Li Yun and is also being closely watched by countless European clubs. If he waits for others to offer high prices, he may be passive.

There will be a lot more money.

Zhang Sheng didn't worry too much about Qin Minghao's transfer this time. The 30% secondary transfer clause was not much more, so Zhang Sheng was satisfied if it could create good conditions for him.

Even so, Longteng Club has earned a total of 10 million euros from Li Yun and Qin Minghao, which is equivalent to the cost of bringing in Pato.

Domestic fans are very disappointed with the transfer of the two. They hope that players from their own country will go to better clubs to play games, but domestic clubs are knowledgeable. Regarding the revenue of 10 million euros from Longteng Club,

That's really greedy. Many small clubs only spend so much a year.

After handling the transfer matters of Li Yun and Qin Minghao, Zhang Sheng now focuses on Xu Mingyu, because the first two have made a name for themselves and there are people rushing to get them, while the latter needs to be promoted.

Fortunately, Xu Mingyu is still a main player in Sporting Lisbon B team. When the agent team of Longteng Club promoted Xu Mingyu to Portuguese Liga teams, there were quite a few interested clubs.

After careful identification and measurement, the agent team helped Xu Mingyu find a Portuguese Liga team that can avoid relegation every year - Rexos.

This team that had won the Portuguese Cup was previously considered a strong old team in Portugal. Unfortunately, it later failed to recover. It has been stuck in the Portuguese League for a long time, and relegation has become an important task for them every year.
