In the tactical system designed by Zhang Sheng, running with the ball is very important, but even more critical is running without the ball. For example, Japanese star Shinji Kagawa during Klopp’s coaching period, as an organizer, he
He has a lot of freedom in his role. He can serve as a shadow striker or as an organizing midfielder, while shouldering the responsibility of defending the opponent's defensive midfielder. It all depends on the opponent.
The same key is the ability to handle the ball from the backcourt. This is why Zhang Sheng moved Ma Yongli, the most skilled player in the backcourt, to the position of midfielder and central defender, just to use his ability.
Ball ability.
And looking at the players Zhang Sheng summoned, we can also see clues to his ultimate tactics. Most of the players he selected were players who ran frequently, had acceptable ball handling abilities, and could play in multiple positions.
Especially those in the midfield, such as Lin Feng who has left the team, Xiong Jian, who is of the same type as Lin Feng, and Zeng Prosperity, Qu Wenming, Cao Jinghao, etc. who were summoned later.
Of course, such tactics are not without sequelae, and they have also been criticized very severely. That is, the injury rate of players seems to be always very high.
For example, when Klopp was coaching Dortmund, players such as Royce, Hummels, Shaheen, Gundogan and other players had "glass" attributes all over their bodies, and they were injured at every turn, including Shinji Kagawa who went to Manchester United with an injury.
The illness has passed.
After arriving at Liverpool, the same is true for some important players in the team, Sturridge, Mane, Coutinho, Lallana, Matip, Henderson, Emre Can and so on.
The injury list can completely make up a team.
Regarding this statement, it is impossible to say that the tactics have not affected the injuries at all, but if you want to say that these injuries are all caused by the playing style, that is not entirely true.
There is another team in history that has chosen Klopp's "mad dog style of play", and that is La Liga's Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid, which also emphasizes physical confrontation, full-court pressure, and running, has managed injuries well. Not only do players not receive kicking fees, they have become the cradle for star growth.
When it comes to physical confrontation and the tapping of athletes' potential, whether it is American football, ice hockey or sprinting, that is when the athletes' every last bit of potential is truly tapped. Football is not a separate matter at all.
Zhang Sheng is not unprepared for the issue of injuries, and he is very well prepared. One is the system's own attributes - the hygienist can reduce players' major injuries to minor injuries and make minor injuries disappear. The second is to strengthen rotation. Now
Even though the Dragons have rented out many players this season, the remaining players all have an ability value of over 70, which gives Zhang Sheng enough capital to use such tactics.
In the final analysis, there is also the natural advantage of Longteng Club - all the players are young. Except for Lu Zhihui and Ben Alpha who are about to turn 29, the oldest players in the team are only 25 years old, and most of them are
Some of the players are between the ages of 18-24, which is the age group when players have the best physical fitness and the best physical condition.
Zhang Sheng's last resort was to take into account the physical condition of the Chinese players, allowing the players to use a pass-and-control style of play during the intermission period of the "mad dog play" to engage in a "big health care" style tactic.
This is how the Longteng team plays against Sporting Lisbon B team. They use their own players to interrupt the opponent's attack crazily. This pressing tactic is not to swarm players and throw them to where the ball is, but just like a few shots.
Like a net, they rush over layer by layer.
That is to say, if one person goes up to press, there will be at least one person behind him, or two people will flank him and wait behind him, because pressing is easy to pass, but when the opponent passes by, it is precisely when the person behind him is most likely to steal the ball.
Even a team like Barcelona will concede the ball due to pressing when they encounter Atletico Madrid, not to mention the strength of the players of Sporting Lisbon B team. The first goal of the Longteng team came from this.
After the first half ended at 1:1, both sides began large-scale substitutions. At this time, the Longteng team's tactical advantage became particularly obvious. A group of players with more than 70 abilities took advantage of their physical strength to desperately defeat Sporting Lisbon.
The substitute players of Team B pressed hard, and ten minutes into the second half, substitute Rodrigo De Paul knocked on the opponent's door with a long shot.
In the 20th minute of the second half, Yan Xiaoyu, who came on as a substitute in the second half, broke into the opponent's penalty area and scored a goal.
The final score of this game was fixed at 3:1.
Aurelio Pereira previously only recognized the Longteng team's ability to train young players and felt that Zhang Sheng would be a very good coach if he were the youth training director, but now this game has subverted his concept.
Although it can be seen that Zhang Sheng's "mad dog play" is still relatively naive and there are many omissions in the cooperation of the players, but when facing Sporting Lisbon B team, such tactics are still very effective.
From Aurelio Pereira's point of view, there is really no problem at all for the Dragons with such strength to compete in the Portuguese Super League.
After the game, Aurelio Pereira came over and said to Zhang Sheng: "Congratulations, you really have a group of very good players, and you are also a very good head coach. I really look forward to in-depth cooperation with your club.
.”
As the club’s scout boss, Aurelio Pereira is also very competent. Next he talked about Nie Jiang: “I think your team’s No. 9 Nie Jiang is really capable of playing in the Portuguese Super League.
Football, I mean, unlike the original Xu Mingyu who could only play in the Portuguese Liga, his ability is completely enough to play in the first team of Sporting Lisbon. How about it? Are you interested?"
Zhang Sheng still rejected Aurelio Pereira's warm invitation: "He is still too young. His future will definitely be in Europe, but it is definitely not now. I also want to hone his skills at home."
he."
Aurelio Pereira could only shrug helplessly. He also knew that Nie Jiang's domestic environment would be better. As the future star of the team, Zhang Sheng would definitely create the best environment for him.
, it is much better than having no one to support him in Europe, so it is not easy for him to promise too high conditions. After all, it is the team's head coach who decides the player's usage rights.
However, he had a unique vision and immediately mentioned Qi Ming: "What about your player No. 21? He seems to be called ming.qi. He feels great on the court, and his physical condition is also good enough. I took a look at the information
, he has passed 20 this year, is there any intention of letting him come to Europe to play football?"
The response to Aurelio Pereira was still the same: "He needs more growth and more games. His future is also in Europe, but he still needs to wait."
Aurelio Pereira was completely speechless now. The opponent was protecting several good players like hens protecting their young, and he had no choice.
Of course Zhang Sheng knew what Aurelio Pereira meant. He just wanted to strike first and develop slowly, but Zhang Sheng, who had the system in hand, knew better about the level of Nie Jiang and Qi Ming.
Nie Jiang's current ability index is 88, and Qi Ming's is only 76. It is very difficult for such ability to play in the first team of Sporting Lisbon. Since he cannot play regular games, it is better to use it as the core of his own team.
Woolen cloth.
At the same time, unlike in China, domestic players have more hidden benefits, and foreign players are outsiders.
In Europe, Nie Jiang and Qi Ming do not have such benefits. If their performance is not good at all, they may be benched, not to mention that their current abilities are not enough.
Since I can train Pato and Ben Alpha to return to their peak, and train Nie Jiang and Qi Ming until they are over ninety before releasing them, their journey in Europe will be much easier.
After saying goodbye to Aurelio Pereira, Zhang Sheng also took the team back to the hotel and began to discuss the problems of the game with his coaching staff.
Zhou Zhou was the starting left-back in this game, but judging from his performance on the field, he did not play well. Although he did not concede the ball, he provided too little support to Ben Alpha.
, although Qi Ming and Xiang Tiange on the right made mistakes and lost the ball, they achieved the effect Zhang Sheng wanted.
The final result of the discussion between the coaching staff was to swap the positions of Ben Alpha and Zhou Zhou, with Zhou Zhou playing in the middle and Ben Alpha playing the left wing/left wing back position.
This will not only give full play to Ben Alpha's impact on the wing, allowing him to go to the front to participate or even organize the attack, but also allow Zhou Zhou to stay in his own half with peace of mind, filling in for Ben Alpha.
This adjustment of the coaching staff is not permanent, because if Zhou Zhou cannot participate in the offense in the midfield, then Roque Gill will have to take on more offensive organizing tasks.
After Roque Gill came to the team, he has always used his midfield interception and ability to transfer the ball laterally or backward. In fact, his own ability is definitely qualified to participate in organizing offenses in the Chinese Super League.
His style is actually very similar to that of Uzbekistan midfielder Akhmedov, who later played in Shanghai SIPG. It’s just that the Dragons had Lin Feng who was more capable of playing in the midfield. In other words, there was a player whose defensive ability was not as good.
Roque Gil's defensive midfielder had to let Roque Gil stay behind.
Now that Lin Feng has transferred, he can completely let Zhou Zhou on the left and Qi Ming on the right sweep the midfield, giving Roque Gil more power to move forward.
This can also be said to be a benefit given by Zhang Sheng in order to train local players. After all, we are also players, so why don't I train my own players.
Another problem in this game was the unskilled coordination between the midfielders and wing-backs.
Qi Ming does have potential, but it has not been explored yet. Xiang Tiange's assist ability is strong, but it is not enough in terms of round-trip ability.
Zhang Sheng and the coaching staff also need to consider how to break the situation once Xiang Tiange fails to open the situation.
Judging from this game, De Paul is indeed capable. His passing, organization, defense, and confrontation on the wing are far superior to those of domestic players. It seems that the system gives an ability value of 98/117
/The potential value is not just talk.
Judging from the current situation, he has an advantage over Qi Ming.
Two days after playing against Sporting Lisbon, the Longteng team faced off against Red Bull Leipzig. This season, after Red Bull Leipzig introduced Tao Wentao and straightened Weigel into the midfielder, the entire Leipzig Red Bull team's offense changed.
It has undergone earth-shaking changes. It is different from last season when the defense was all about defending. Now the efficiency of Leipzig Red Bull's offense has improved a little bit.
Red Bull Leipzig's results are now even better than in history. Historically, Red Bull Leipzig has always been first after the winter break. However, because the point difference with second place Freiburg is not big, only one point, at the end of the season
Sometimes, he was even pushed to the second place.
Now, in addition to occupying the first place in the league, they are also far behind the second place, a full six points more than the second place Freiburg. This advantage in a highly competitive league like the Bundesliga is
Very big.
The three Dragons players in the Leipzig Red Bull team have become the envy of the entire Bundesliga 2 and even the Bundesliga. Of course, the most urgent one is the Leipzig Red Bull side.
The talent that Weigel has shown now makes them heartbroken. The player is in their own team, but he is on loan. The Dragons originally signed a five-year contract, and now there is still a whole day before the contract expires.
After more than four years, who knows when, Weigel was taken away by the Bundesliga teams outside. You must know that the Bundesliga has a "star black hole" like Bayern Munich that specializes in poaching good players from the local German league.
So this time the Dragons came to Europe, and Zhang Sheng was also there. Red Bull Leipzig eagerly came over to discuss Weigel's issue.
The Longteng team is thinking liberally. If Weigel develops according to the current situation, he will be a player worth tens of millions of euros. There is no need to worry. And according to Weigel's own ability, which Bundesliga team will he go to?
He is the main force, and there is no need to worry about no one wanting him, so for Red Bull's purchase request, a measly 10 million euros will not be enough.
Of course, if the Red Bulls want to continue to rent Weigl, it will be a win-win situation, and considering the friendly relationship between the two clubs, the right of first refusal is a consolation prize for them.
In the next warm-up match against the Dragons, the Red Bulls tried their best. Not only did the three players related to the Dragons start, the rest of the players were also the absolute main players in the league.
Facing such a quasi-Bundesliga team and going all out, the Longteng team played an extremely embarrassing game.
At the beginning of the game, the Longteng team still relied on crazy running to fight back and forth with the Red Bulls. However, after 30 minutes of the first half, the Longteng team, whose physical fitness declined rapidly, inevitably lost the ball.
After losing the ball, the Longteng team could only retract their formation to stabilize themselves and not let the opponent defeat them.
After falling behind 0:1 in the first half, both teams made a large number of substitutions in the second half. At this time, both sides made more mistakes. Chavez took advantage of a corner kick and scored a goal.
, equalizing the score.
Although the subsequent match between the two sides was not as well executed tactically as in the first half, the attitude of the substitute players was not bad. Both sides had many opportunities, but neither made any achievements. The final score was fixed at 1
