After the game, Perlan also had a phone call with Zhang Sheng. He mainly discussed with Zhang Sheng the issue of players selected for the East Asian Cup.
Among them, he raised his own doubts about the performance of Lin Feng and Zhou Wei. Zhang Sheng explained to him Lin Feng's recent game situation, and Peilan also expressed his understanding.
However, Zhang Sheng asked Perrin to make his own judgment on Zhou Wei's condition. After all, given Zhou Wei's situation, once he loses the ball in the national team, he will be criticized even more.
Soon on the second day of the game, the national team's player selection list for the East Asian Cup was released. The Longteng team once again became the club with the most selected players, including Ma Yongli, Zhou Zhou, Xiao Yunfan, Lin Feng, Tao Wentao, and Yao Tian.
, Nie Jiang was selected for the national team.
This time due to Lu Zhihui's injury, Captain Long Teng was selected as a defender, but Perrin took a different approach and recruited both Nie Jiang and Yao Tian into the national team.
Because of his outstanding performance, Nie Jiang has always been highly favored for being selected for the national team. His selection this time is in line with public opinion.
This selection made him the youngest international player in the history of the Chinese national football team at the age of 17 years and 135 days. This record was previously held by Shandong Luneng goalkeeper Wang Dalei in the last game. Wang Dalei was 17 years old at the time.
Nie Jiang became the youngest international player in 136 days, just one day younger than Wang Dalei, breaking this record.
Regarding this selection, Nie Jiang's mother seemed even happier than Nie Jiang.
As someone who had been opposed to Nie Jiang playing football before, Nie's mother had only one feeling this time, and that was that she was proud of her son.
Nie's mother was also a football fan when she was young. She knows how difficult it is to be selected for the national team. She also knows what it means to her son to be selected for the national team at this age.
Her son will be the number one figure who will always be recorded in the history of Chinese football. Thinking of this, Mother Nie burst into tears.
Zhang Sheng thought that Nie Jiang's selection was a matter of course, so Yao Tian's selection was a bit of a surprise to Zhang Sheng.
Yao Tian does have a lot of opportunities to play this season, but after all, he is only a substitute for the Longteng team. He will only turn 20 next month and has always been a small puzzle for Zhang Sheng's tactics.
However, in the limited time, Yao Tian's results were not bad.
So far, Yao Tian has contributed two league goals, two AFC Champions League goals, and one FA Cup goal. He has also contributed five, three, and two assists in these events.
In fact, if this kind of performance can be seen in any team in the Chinese Super League, as a domestic player, he is an absolute core player, and he will only be used as a substitute in the Longteng team.
Of course, Yao Tian is not without his weaknesses.
This is a player with an extremely unbalanced offense and defense. He is talented offensively and organizationally, but does not help the team in any way defensively.
So his current performance has a lot to do with the way Zhang Sheng uses him.
When Yao Tian can play, it will always be when the team needs to attack with all its strength, or when the team has already secured the victory and needs someone in the frontcourt to hold the ball and counterattack.
If there are no teammates to help Yao Tian defend the backcourt when the team is under great pressure, the team will die miserably.
His selection has a lot to do with the fact that the national team will not recruit overseas players to come back to compete during the East Asian Cup. Maybe Perrin wants to see the ability of domestic players like Yao Tian to organize offense.
Zhou Wei's failure to be selected this time also dealt him a big blow. He was already a sure shot at entering the national team because of a low-level mistake.
His wish to play for the national team came to nothing.
Zhang Sheng didn't care about these things now, because he finally ushered in the first summons after the system upgrade, and the points for this summons cost 200 points at once, which was a huge price.
The player Zhang Sheng summoned this time was the left frontcourt player.
Currently, the team's only orthodox left frontcourt players are Ben Arfa and Yu Bo.
As a foreign player, Ben Alpha will have to leave sooner or later. What's more, when Zhang Sheng introduced him to the team, he promised him that as long as a European club wanted to buy him, he would never deliberately interfere.
Judging from his current ability index, he is fully capable of playing football in Europe.
As for Yu Bo, it's because his straight-forward style of play doesn't suit the team's tactics. He's more suitable for teams that defend and counterattack, playing all the way to the end and then passing the ball.
Ni Kai, who is currently on loan, is indeed in line with the Longteng team's tactics, but he is a glass man and can get injured at every turn. As for Cao Jinghao, he is still too young and needs to be tempered.
Then it becomes necessary to summon a young player and reserve them.
Soon the system gave two options:
"An orthodox left winger. He is extremely fast and is known as the 'man like the wind'. He has a balanced left and right foot and can pass people on the wing with ease. He has excellent foot skills, especially when gathering people and balls.
He is top-notch. At the same time, he also has an extremely stable and high-quality kick. Of course, he is not without shortcomings. One is that his playing style is destined to make him easily violated and injured. The other is that he
It won't cut inside. Of course, it depends on how you arrange your tactics." Ability value/potential value: 45/105.
"A very typical modern winger. He is a very comprehensive frontcourt winger. He can not only break through from the wing and cross the ball, but also cut inside to shoot at the edge of the penalty area or directly into the penalty area. At the same time,
He can also cooperate with the midfield players in passing and receiving, opening up space for the team to attack. However, he is comprehensive in all aspects, but there is nothing too outstanding. In most teams, he is ignored.
Use it as a tactical chess piece." Ability value/potential value: 45/105.
Zhang Sheng is still very confused about these two players.
Fortunately, their potential value is very high. It is even higher than that of Li Yun and Qin Minghao, which means there is a lot of room for development.
But both players have extremely obvious shortcomings.
The former player is a good candidate for a traditional winger. Judging from the introduction of the system, this player should be first-class in breaking through on the wing, but he cannot cut inside or cooperate with the midfielder.
Two o'clock is too embarrassing.
Not being able to cut inside means that the team has fewer offensive changes, and not being able to cooperate is even more inconsistent with the Longteng team's tactical play.
The second player has all the conditions in all aspects, but unfortunately he is too average. According to the nature of the system, as long as he is an average player in all aspects, we cannot expect him to have much explosive power, but he is more suitable for the team.
He is a tactical player, just like forward Wen Kai and midfielder Sun Yu were before.
In the end, Zhang Sheng chose the second player. After all, it is impossible for everyone in a team to be a breaking point. As long as the club is still under his control, players in this system can better play his role.
Soon the system sent the player to Zhang Sheng.
This player named Gong Yuzhe is a young player from a football school acquired by Longteng Football School in Jiangcheng.
He was only 16 years old in September this year and was a student at Jiangcheng Yucai Football School.
With the development of football in recent years, there are so many extracurricular training institutions such as football schools, and the competition has become increasingly fierce. Yucai Football School is the loser in this big wave.
The Longteng Football School, which has more abundant funds and stronger strength, naturally plays the role of the big fish eating the small fish. The boss of Yucai Football School took the initiative to contact Longteng Football School.
After the evaluation of Longteng Football School, it was found that several youth training coaches in their football school were quite good. Their youth training philosophy was also very close to that of Longteng Football School, so they agreed to accept them. This was also a response to the previous poaching of Longteng by Guangzhou Evergrande.
A kind of supplement after being a football school youth training coach.
As for the students in their football school, most of them left, some dropped out, and Gong Yuzhe was one of the very few students who were favored by the Dragon Team.
In fact, without the emergence of the Longteng Football Club, small football schools like this would have disappeared. As for players like Gong Yuzhe who do not have many characteristics, there is a high probability that they will disappear from the Chinese football world.
Only when Zhang Sheng saw the recent work summary of the football school at the football school meeting and discovered the name of the player Gong Yuzhe, and then compared the name and age given by the system, he knew that Longteng Football School had made another big profit.
.
Later, Zhang Sheng went to see Gong Yuzhe's actual training and found that this player did not show many advantages, and then realized that he had not yet reached the stage of formal growth.
Next, Zhang Sheng once again participated in the league. When the Longteng team's starting lineup for the away game against Shijiazhuang was announced on July 25, it received a lot of discussion from the outside world.
First of all, in the goalkeeper position, 17-year-old Huang Dawei started the game, while Zhou Wei, the previous absolute main goalkeeper, sat on the bench.
In the midfield, Lin Feng, who is responsible for the team's offensive rhythm, did not make the eighteen-man roster at all. He was replaced by Tao Wentao, and Tao Wentao's position was given to Yao Tian.
Later, everyone saw Lin Feng in the reserve team. Everyone was a little confused by the Dragon Teng team's approach. You must know that the Dragon Teng team defeated its direct competitor in the last game.
Everyone agreed that Zhang Sheng's choice was a bit too reckless. Shijiazhuang Yongchang's home court is not easy to play.
And the next game really made the outside world more confused about Zhang Sheng's arrangement, because the Longteng team almost lost the game.
As a newly promoted team this season, Shijiazhuang Yongchang has been able to stay in the middle of the league despite playing one game less in the highly competitive Chinese Super League, which shows that the team still has a lot to offer.
Especially in terms of home results, Shijiazhuang Yongchang is even more outstanding. In the ten completed home games, they have remained unbeaten with three wins and seven draws. This unbeaten record also includes a 1-1 draw with Guangzhou Evergrande.
Big, they tied with Shandong Luneng 1-1 and tied with Shanghai SIPG 2-2.
In other words, none of the top teams so far have been able to take away three points from here, and their home stadium, Shijiazhuang Yutong International Stadium, has become a veritable devil's home stadium.
There is a reason why they can achieve this result at home.
First of all, they ranked second in the Chinese Super League in terms of the number of interceptions at home. It can be seen that the defensive-oriented Shijiazhuang Yongchang team is quite strong in interceptions in the midfield and backcourt during home games.
Secondly, their number of home fouls ranks first in the Chinese Super League.
Corresponding to the number of fouls, their number of home yellow cards ranks first in the Chinese Super League, far ahead of other teams.
To be able to receive so many yellow cards at home in a league like the Chinese Super League where the home whistle is very obvious, it can be said that they took advantage of this unspoken rule to the limit.
Finally, their home penalty kick count ranks among the top three in the Chinese Super League.
This is rather intriguing.
In this game, when facing a technical team like the Dragons, they fully utilized these three advantages.
Only three minutes into the game, Liu Junpeng shoveled Tao Wentao to the ground in the midfield.
Although Liu Junpeng himself received a yellow card, Tao Wentao took the initiative to ask to be substituted after persisting for five minutes, which completely messed up Zhang Sheng's tactical arrangements.
Zhang Sheng had to let Xiong Jian play in an emergency, and the Longteng team, which lacked Lin Feng and Tao Wentao, could not play in the midfield rhythm at all.
Shijiazhuang Yongchang's players kept making small moves during the game. Xiong Jian, who did not have much breakthrough ability, was far inferior to Lin Feng. It was difficult for him to shoulder the task of connecting the midfield.
On the contrary, Yao Tian, who had poor defensive awareness, did not actively participate in defense in the front, allowing Shijiazhuang Yongchang to seize the opportunity when Xiong Jian was intercepted and Yao Tian did not return to defense and launched a quick counterattack.
In the 19th minute of the first half, Li Chunyu intercepted the ball and made a long pass directly to the foreign aid Ruben. Ruben distributed the ball to the wing. Longdong wanted to use his speed to beat Du Zhenyu.
Du Zhenyu used his body to squeeze Long Dong. Unfortunately, Long Dong was far smarter than Du Zhenyu thought. When he just brought the ball into the penalty area, he took the initiative to stride for the ball and hung his feet on Du Zhenyu's legs.
land.
When Long Dong fell to the ground, Du Zhenyu realized that the opponent was cheating for a penalty kick. He quickly opened his hands to show that he did not provoke the opponent. Unfortunately, the referee decisively gave Du Zhenyu a yellow card and awarded Shijiazhuang Yongchang a penalty kick.
.
Mulenga converted the penalty kick in one stroke, leading the Dragons at home.
After taking the lead, Shijiazhuang Yongchang started to commit fouls from the midfield. These places were far away from their own goal, and the threat of free kicks was not great. In addition, their 5-3-2 defensive formation was firmly established, making it difficult for the Longteng team.
Penetrate the opponent's defense.
After the second half, the Longteng team suffered another blow. Roque Gill sprained his foot while fighting with the opponent. Zhang Sheng had to use the second substitution quota and replaced him with Zhang Hao.
The next game basically became a hand-to-hand battle in the midfield. Shijiazhuang Yongchang cleverly replaced two midfielders with yellow cards in succession to continue to struggle with the Longteng team, making it impossible for the Longteng team to attack smoothly.
It wasn't until the last few minutes of the game that Zhang Sheng replaced Nie Jiang with Chavez and took advantage of Yao Tian's pass. The latter's header forced the opponent's door open.
The Longteng team got this point in a thrilling away game.
