Zhang Sheng's hospitality does not mean causing trouble for the opponent off the court. Of course, it is impossible for the Al-Ahli team to receive preferential treatment. Zhang Sheng is S.B.
The so-called "hospitality" refers to being on the court with full firepower, scoring as many goals as possible, and letting the fans give the loudest cheers. As for saving face for others, they themselves don't want to lose face.
It doesn't matter whether you stay or not.
Zhang Sheng is very confident for this game.
Although Pato was injured in the middle of the last game, but after returning home, the inspection showed that it was a flaw. Coupled with the unique "hygienist" skills of Zhang Sheng's system, Pato completely recovered in less than a week.
.
Now that Nie Jiang has returned from the World Junior Championships with completed tasks and skyrocketing ability points, the strength of the Dragon Team has reached a higher level.
And the most important thing is that after Nie Jiang returned, the Longteng team's commonly used frontcourt without a frontcourt formation can be used. In front of West Asian teams that generally have low tactical skills, the frontcourt without a frontcourt formation can be said to be the best to use.
Compared with Zhang Sheng's firm thoughts, the outside world is extremely cautious about this game, because although the first round was a 1:2 away victory, the score is not very advantageous. Historically, the cases of big score comebacks are always Bibi.
It's all true, not to mention it's just a small victory.
The outside hype for the game also helped the Longteng club, especially in terms of ticket pricing.
In fact, before the first round of the AFC Champions League final, Longteng Club had discussed the price of home tickets for the second round.
On this issue, although Zhang Sheng had a lot to say, he just thought that he had decided not to participate in the business operations, so he did not interrupt anymore, because the current pricing of tickets by the Longteng team is different from that of Guangzhou in history.
Evergrande is very similar, with prices set very high, especially for the highest tiers of tickets.
Historically, in the 2013 season, when Guangzhou Evergrande reached the AFC Champions League final for the first time, home game tickets were divided into eight tiers, namely 400 yuan, 600 yuan, 800 yuan, 1,000 yuan, 1,500 yuan, 2,000 yuan, and 5,000 yuan.
Yuan, 8,000 yuan. Among them, the 5,000 yuan ticket is limited to 500 tickets, while the 8,000 yuan ticket known as the "rich gold" is limited to 20 tickets.
During that game ticket sales, it was the 5,000 and 8,000 tickets that sold the fastest. This situation also surprised all the melon fans.
Turning around and thinking about it, this is actually quite normal. These two levels of tickets are indeed expensive for ordinary fans, but for fans who are not short of money, it is really nothing. On the contrary, it is because of these two levels of football.
Tickets are scarce, which makes them even more precious. After all, there are many rich people.
In the 2014 season, due to the emergence of the Longteng team, Guangzhou Evergrande was different from the past and once again reached the AFC Champions League finals. The pricing of home tickets also increased again, with the two highest ticket prices exceeding one
Ten thousand yuan, and the first-tier ticket is as high as 20,000 yuan.
The ticket price of the Longteng team this time also refers to the ticket price of Guangzhou Evergrande last year. The ticket price is divided into eight tiers according to the stands and seats. The lowest ticket price is 500, followed by 800, 1600, 3000, 5000, 8000.
, the two highest grades are 15,000 and 32,000.
Among them, the ticket price of 32,000 is more expensive than the top VIP ticket for the La Liga "El Clasico" match between Real Madrid and Barcelona that will start a few hours later. The highest ticket price for that world-famous game is only 2,697.7 euros, which is equivalent to about 18,000 yuan.
Yuan, which is much more expensive than the official selling price of the highest-priced tickets for the Men's Football World Cup, which is around US$1,000.
However, the price of Longteng Club this time is different from that of Guangzhou Evergrande in history: 600 yuan (a small amount), 1,500 yuan, 3,000 yuan, 4,000 yuan, 6,000 yuan, 10,000 yuan, 18,000 yuan (VIP), 39,000 yuan (VVIP) (only ten pictures
) are similar in price. The only difference is that for the lowest ticket price of 500 yuan, Longteng Club accounts for a much higher share than Guangzhou Evergrande.
This welfare for ordinary fans only came about after Zhang Sheng complained to Zhang Zhijun. Otherwise, just like in history, Guangzhou Evergrande only released less than a thousand 600 yuan tickets, leaving many students who wanted to watch the game
and ordinary fans stayed outside the stadium.
Unfortunately, the ticket sales process once again proved that Shi Zhiqiang's business ability far exceeded that of Zhang Sheng. The only 10 tickets worth 32,000 were not only snapped up, but some people even called Longteng Group to ask for them.
The reason is that the deputy governor of Hubei Province in charge of culture and sports, the mayor of Jiangcheng City, the deputy mayor in charge of culture, sports and health, plus the chairman and vice-chairman of the Football Association, and the chairman of Longteng Group Zhang Zhijun and others came to sit on the rostrum to watch the game.
Became a target for those who bought tickets.
And judging from the progress of ticket purchases, high-end tickets are sold the fastest because they are few, while other-end tickets are sold in batches because of the large quantity. Longteng Club also sells them in batches until the high-end tickets are sold out.
There are still tickets left in the middle brackets.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but admire Shi Zhijun's business and public relations acumen.
Once the tickets can be sold out as scheduled, Longteng Club's single-game ticket revenue this time will be much higher than Guangzhou Evergrande's 55 million ticket revenue in 2013, and also higher than Guangzhou Evergrande's 100 million yuan ticket revenue last year.
High, sales may reach nearly 200 million yuan, which is enough to support many Chinese Super League clubs for a season.
The Dragons' AFC Champions League final also changed another construction plan of Jiangcheng City. Subway Line 3, which historically was only opened in December, was also opened in advance one week before the game because the Sports Center Station where Jiangcheng Sports Center is located
It is a sub-station of Line 3. This can be regarded as Jiangcheng City specially speeding up the speed for the convenience of fans watching the AFC Champions League finals.
For this AFC Champions League final, Jiangcheng City has put forward the slogan of striving to become a "national civilized city". The bus line where the Jiangcheng Sports Center is located has been delayed and most parking lots near the stadium have been banned.
Fortunately, Jiangcheng Sports Center is far away from the urban area, and there are still a lot of parking spaces around it, which is far more relaxed than the historical surroundings of Guangzhou Evergrande in Tianhe Bei.
In addition to game preparations, this AFC Champions League final also attracted countless media reporters.
At the pre-match press conference on November 20, more than 200 reporters attended. Only a part of the reporters were in the crowded press conference. According to data provided by the AFC, more than 600 reporters registered this time.
people, and the number of reporters who finally passed was 533, including 340 anchor TV, rights-holding TV reporters and technical staff, and 193 text, photo reporters and non-rights-holding TV reporters.
Such a scale of reporters frightened the reporters from the United Arab Emirates who came all the way. They all agreed that this was the biggest press conference scene they had ever seen while covering Al Ahli in Dubai.
Most of the UAE reporters also expressed their desire to put friendship first and competition second. The words of a regular reporter from Al Ahli in Dubai are the most typical: “We have no idea about the outcome of this game, although we also want to win.
competition, but the Longteng team is too strong. It is enough for us to come to Jiangcheng, this is an opportunity to show the UAE."
Not only the media reporters in the United Arab Emirates think so, but also senior officials of Al-Ahli Dubai Club are very low-key. Nabda, the chairman of Al-Ahli Dubai Club, also came to Jiangcheng with the team this time. He expressed his feelings towards the Dragons and the Dragons.
I admire the large number of talented players who have been trained.
During the meeting with Ding Kun, general manager of Longteng Club, the two sides discussed the possibility of future cooperation between the two teams. Nabuda also extended an invitation to Longteng to visit Dubai again and proposed that both clubs jointly establish a training camp in Dubai.
This is the first time that a foreign club has made a request to a Chinese club to "aid in the construction" of young football players.
Of course, as a wealthy club, Al Ahli in Dubai also spent money on this game. On the day when Longteng Club used two special planes to transport the team to Dubai in the first round, the Crown Prince of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and the Vice-President of the United Arab Emirates Air Force
The commander-in-chief officially promised that in the second round, a special plane will be arranged to fly Al-Ahli fans to Jiangcheng for free in order to better cheer for the Al-Ahli team.
The final result was that Al-Ahli Dubai used the diplomatic relations of the UAE Ambassador to China to open up all reception work in China, and used three planes to transport more than 700 domestic fans to Jiangcheng for free to watch the game.
There is a reason why Al Ahli in Dubai is so low-key.
In the past 17 AFC home games, the Longteng team has a record of 13 wins and 4 draws at the Jiangcheng Sports Center. This year's AFC Champions League, the Longteng team has even achieved a record of 7 wins and 1 draw in 8 home games.
With such a home record, no matter which Asian team comes over, they will feel disappointed.
Al-Ahli Dubai's away record in the AFC Champions League is really bad. The United Arab Emirates giants can only win 3 games in 21 away games. With such a low winning rate, when they encounter the Dragons, from a probability perspective, they can basically win a song.
Gave it to them.
The only thing that Ahli Dubai hopes for is that Pato is injured and cannot play. However, judging from the information they have, Pato's recovery speed is much faster than they imagined. The information shows that Pato has participated in the team's training this week.
And judging from his performance, there is no impact at all.
A few days before the game, another encouraging news came, that is, the core midfielder of the Longteng team and the team captain Lin Feng became a candidate for the 2015 "Asian Footballer" and was among the final three candidates.
If you can lead the Longteng team to win the AFC Champions League on the 21st, you will have a great chance of winning the "Mr." award.
The selection criteria for the Asian Footballer of the Year are based on the selection by the AFC based on the events hosted and hosted, with reference to the MVP of each game. In September, technical experts began to score and select 3 0 candidate players, which was reduced to only 15 in mid-October.
, then three candidates were selected, and the winner was announced at the party.
According to the AFC scoring principle, the MVP of each AFC Champions League game can get 15 points; the AFC second-level club competition AFC Cup can get 10 points; participating in the World Cup finals, the winner can get 60 points for each game.
; The winner of each game in the second round of the World Cup qualifiers will get 20 points, and the third round will be 25 points; the Asian Cup finals will get 40 points; the winner of each game in the Olympic qualifiers will get 25 points, and in the Olympic finals,
You can get 40 points for each game. If you receive a red card in the game, you need to lose 10 points. If you receive a yellow card, you need to lose 5 points.
In addition to Lin Feng, the candidates who finally entered the top three include Al-Ahli captain Khalil and Omar of another UAE team. If the Longteng team wins the AFC Champions League, they will receive the AFC annual award.
Club Award, then Lin Feng's hope of being elected Asian Footballer will also be greatly increased.
Historically, Guangzhou Evergrande's captain Zheng Zhi was also selected for this three-person list, but Zheng Zhi still lost in the final selection, and Khalil from the United Arab Emirates won this honor.
At that time, although Zheng Zhi led the Evergrande team to win the AFC Champions League for the second time, in the Asian Cup at the beginning of the year, the national football team only entered the quarterfinals and was also in danger of being eliminated in the World Cup preliminaries. This became a fatal injury for Zheng Zhizhi's failure to win the trophy.
.
Correspondingly, Khalil not only led Ahli to the AFC Champions League final, but also led the UAE team to third place in the Asian Cup. There is also a great chance of advancing to the top 12 in the World Cup preliminaries.
But now it's different. Although in the Asian Cup, the Chinese team met the host Australia and was eliminated, and still stopped in the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup, but in the world preliminaries, the Chinese team can be said to be triumphant all the way, and Lin Feng even faced it away from home.
When the strongest opponent in the group was Qatar, he scored the winning goal and won the MVP on the spot.
In this way, in terms of points, it can be said that Lin Feng surpassed Khalil and became the most popular candidate. Once the Longteng team wins this game, Lin Feng's hope of becoming the third Asian Footballer of the Year in the history of Chinese football will be infinite.
At the press conference before the game, a reporter asked Lin Feng his opinion on the Asian Footballer. As the team captain, Lin Feng, who attended the meeting with Zhang Sheng, seemed very calm: "For me, being able to participate in the competition for the Asian Footballer
It is already a great honor, and being one of the three candidates is an affirmation for me and the team."
Zhang Sheng also took over and said: "Everyone has witnessed Lin Feng's performance this season. I think he is one of the best players in Asia."
In fact, Zhang Sheng and Lin Feng had a long talk before the game, and the content of the discussion was exactly the transfer issue that had been rumored before, but was later interrupted because of Lin Feng's harsh words.
Lin Feng insists that he should go to Europe to play football, and he does not want to go to a team outside the five major leagues. Even if he is relegated or even a mid-tier team in the five major leagues, he seems a bit disdainful.
Zhang Sheng also insisted on his own point of view.
In Zhang Sheng's opinion, Lin Feng's idea is too optimistic. Even if it is operated by other teams in the Chinese Super League, it is extremely difficult to go to the giants of the five major leagues. It is very likely that after passing, he will make a gimmick, train with the team for a period of time, and then be
Place on a cold bench.
And in order to keep the hype in the team, Lin Feng's time on the bench will never be short. Unless Lin Feng is determined to play games and maintain his form, the opposing club will never let him go on loan easily.
Once Lin Feng enters such an embarrassing situation, he, who will only turn 22 in March next year, is likely to be wasted because he has not played for a long time. After all, participating in more games at this age is the key period to maintain player ability and increase goals.
.
In the end, the conversation ended with both sides holding their own opinions.
Zhang Sheng also agreed to Lin Feng's request to leave the team without arranging a transfer to the five major European leagues. In Zhang Sheng's mind, no matter which Chinese Super League team bought him, he would help the club play in the Chinese Super League for a few years and then negotiate a transfer.
The process is likely to change Lin Feng's mind, and at the same time help him maintain his condition.
The Chinese Super League teams that were ready to move after hearing the news of Lin Feng's transfer immediately became excited in private.
