After the game, a wave of reflection after the Chinese Super League’s winter transfer rush flooded the entire domestic football world.
CCTV directly responded to the evaluation: "The strength of the team is not accumulated by the value of the players. This game should talk about the value. Maybe Jiangsu Suning's side will look higher on paper, but in terms of tactical layout and
In terms of execution, the gap between the two sides is as huge as a chasm. The Dragons sold many players at the beginning of the season, but their other players can be seamlessly connected, which shows that the most fundamental tactical concepts of this club have been thoroughly implemented in all echelons.
."
"We have been talking about learning this and learning that. I think many teams in the Chinese Super League now should think about whether we should learn from the Dragons and stick to our own style. Over time, it will eventually bear fruit."
Finally, CCTV also put forward its own suggestions.
As for the ridicule among fans, there are more.
Considering that Ramirez transferred from Chelsea, and Chelsea was in the position of relegation in the first half of the Premier League season, and Jiangsu Suning played at the same level as the relegation team in this game, some fans complained: "
Ramirez will definitely say after playing the game: I moved from one relegation team to another relegation team."
Some fans lamented: "Jiangsu Suning's foreign players finally understand what it means not to be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but to be afraid of teammates who are like pigs."
"The players in the Longteng team are really useful. Look at Xiao Yunfan, the only Suning player who can cooperate with foreign players. Look at the players in the Longteng team. They are all players who can cooperate with foreign players. Before the season, some people said that the Longteng team was poached.
If it's empty, what the Longteng team wants to say is, you can come and dig, and I will lose after the digging is over." This is the resentment of the fans of Jiangsu Suning.
Zhang Sheng has long been accustomed to the praise of the Dragons from the outside world. For such verbal benefits, Zhang Sheng prefers practical benefits-this victory plus the previous AFC Champions League victory brings Zhang Sheng's points to exactly 200 points.
, players can be summoned again.
Thinking of this, Zhang Sheng opened the system and looked at his attributes out of habit:
Coach level: German A-level coach (equivalent to Chinese A-level coach, able to coach the Chinese Super League)
Personal level: Level 5
Experience:1663500/3000000
Summon Energy:200/100

Common Progress 16/20 (In the second stage, at least one player with an ability value of 80 or above must be transferred to another Chinese Super League team, and the remaining players must have an ability value of 70 or above.)
Concentrate (Dawn's Mission)
After the last item was used up, Zhang Sheng's acceleration talisman was originally empty. This time, the Super Cup champion brought Zhang Sheng a player and a tactical talisman.
Seeing this, Zhang Sheng used them without thinking.
The tactical symbol is used on the left midfielder's movement in the 3-5-2 offensive and defensive transition, and the player symbol is used on Qi Ming. The intention is obvious, which is to improve the team's defensive capabilities.
Zhang Sheng's heart moved after taking a look at his special items. Then he looked at Nie Jiang's potential value of 118. He simply made up an integer and gave the super potential pill to Nie Jiang. Soon the system prompted Nie Jiang's potential value.
Gained growth, reaching 120.
Seeing that the system did not prompt Nie Jiang's potential to reach its peak, Zhang Sheng was relieved. It seemed that Nie Jiang still had room to grow.
Next, Zhang Sheng started calling players.
This time, Zhang Sheng chose not to summon players, but to place the summoning quota on coaches.
Since the last time a coach with specialized attributes came out, he has been extremely helpful to the team's offensive tactics. During the entire winter training period, he helped the team design many offensive routines, which were much richer than the previous relatively simple offensive tactics.
After tasting the benefits of this specialized coach, Zhang Sheng decided to choose a defensive specialized coach again, because after the system opened specialization last time, the system mall already had the attribute to choose a specialized coach.
options.
At the same time, Zhang Sheng also discovered that another task was also marked, that is, the common progress task that can improve the entire Chinese Super League level. It gave the ability value requirements of transferred players, and clearly told him that players with abilities above 80 must be transferred.
It will be given to other Chinese Super League teams to complete the second phase of the task.
Zhang Sheng can only say MMP about this. For the sake of the overall strength of the Chinese Super League, the system is forcing him to sell his blood.
After using up his points and items, Zhang Sheng quickly forgot all about it, because the Dragons were about to travel across the ocean to play in the AFC Champions League in Australia, thousands of miles away.
Australian teams have never been easy to play. This is a deep understanding of all Chinese Super League teams after participating in the AFC Champions League.
In addition to the physical pressure of the Australian team on the Chinese Super League team, their overall tactics have always been good. Compared with going to countries surrounding China, going to Australia is time lag, coupled with the fatigue of long-distance flights
, the away record of Chinese Super League teams in Australia has never been very good.
For this reason, the Longteng team flew to Australia on February 29 to adapt to the local environment two days in advance.
In fact, the Longteng team's approach was unanimously considered by the outside world to be overly cautious, because their opponent in this game, Sydney FC, was not in good condition.
Sydney FC, which won the A-League runner-up last year and entered the AFC Champions League, has now been winless in six consecutive league games and is only ranked sixth in the A-League. What’s more serious is that the team is now full of injuries, including forward Matt Simon, Ah
Many main players, including Lex Brosco, were unable to play in the game against the Dragons due to injuries.
Sydney FC head coach Graham Arnold's attitude before the game can also reveal their current team's mentality: "The Dragons are a strong team. They are very strong in foreign aid. They spent 4 million euros before the season.
The foreign players we bought are more expensive than our entire team of players. But this is our home court, and we have to show the Australian spirit in the game, which is enterprising and aggressive."
Center back Ryan Grant, who participated in the pre-match press conference, said something even more hilarious: "If our performance is good enough, we may even get a contract from China."
During the game, Sydney FC really showed their mental strength. They took advantage of their players' stronger bodies and constantly sought physical confrontation.
The Longteng team's full-court pressing tactics did not perform well due to referee Fagani's loose standards. When faced with the pressing of Longteng team players, Sydney FC made big moves but rarely received cards.
At the same time, Sydney FC completely gave up the ground attack style and constantly used high balls to seek offense. The whole game saw footballs flying around in the air.
In the 17th minute of the first half, three of their players formed a header relay in front of and in the penalty area of the Longteng team. Finally, their forward Stampochev formed a shot and broke through the gate guarded by Zhou Wei.
In fact, this loss of the ball was also related to Zhou Wei's reckless attack. After seeing a Sydney FC player receiving a header, he actually wanted to rush out of the penalty area and intercept the ball in the air. However, due to a misjudgment of the landing point, the ball was passed by him.
It hit Stambochev directly at his feet, which was equivalent to feeding the opponent a big pie.
After losing the ball, the Longteng team quickly changed their tactics at Zhang Sheng's request. They no longer rushed to attack after pressing, but instead asked the players to pass more passes and control the ball.
This style of play really paid off very quickly.
Just five minutes after losing the ball, the Longteng team used ground passes on the left to form a connection between Ben Alpha and Nie Jiang. The latter passed the opponent's midfielder and was directly blocked by Ben Arfa who broke into the penalty area.
Alpha received.
When Ben Alpha thought of hitting the goal with his foot, he was pulled down to the ground by the opponent's defender with both hands. This obvious foul not only earned him a yellow card, but also gave the Longteng team a penalty kick.
Faced with this penalty kick, Ben Alfa scored in one stroke and tied the score to 1:1.
The following game was completely under the control of the Longteng team. Several players in the midfield easily passed and controlled the ball. Although there was no goal in the first half, the Longteng team's half-time ball possession rate even reached 70
%, Liu Jiayuan, who was in charge of the commentary, was a little anxious at first, but in the end, he said easily: "The same taste, the same formula, when the Longteng team plays the Australian team, they always rely on the pass at their feet.
The problem was solved with a bang. It seems that after Lin Feng left, the Longteng team can still play such a fast pass."
Before the season, after the training contents of the Longteng team playing 3-5-2 and turning into a pressing style came out, many fans and people in the domestic football world thought that the Longteng team had to do this as a last resort.
Because Lin Feng was the core of the Long Teng team's previous quick passing game, his departure should affect the team's performance of this tactic.
Unexpectedly, in this game, the Longteng team still used this tactic, and it was still not good at using it. This just proves CCTV's previous evaluation of the Longteng team after the Super Cup - passing, controlling and hitting the foot is so basic
The concept has penetrated into the DNA of Team Dragon and will not disappear just because anyone leaves.
After the second half, the Longteng team continued the play style of the first half and completely controlled the situation on the court. On the other hand, Sydney FC, apart from following the Longteng team's ball, the only remaining trick was a foul.
But how can you stand by the river without getting your shoes wet? In the 16th minute of the second half, they received a yellow card and a penalty kick for an obvious foul on Nie Jiang in the penalty area.
It's a pity that Nie Jiang's own penalty kick was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Janjetovich, and he missed a good opportunity to take the lead.
Compared with Liu Jiayuan who was worried that the Dragons would not score a penalty kick and would be impatient and give the opponent a chance later, Zhang Sheng was much calmer. After two years of AFC Champions League and a Club World Cup, the current team of the Dragons
None of the main players here are battle-hardened.
Nie Jiang was the main player last season and basically played in all the AFC Champions League games. So despite his young age, he is just 18 years old, and he is a proper "old man" in the AFC Champions League.
What rewarded Zhang Sheng's calmness was Nie Jiang's performance on the court.
After missing the penalty kick, Nie Jiang just complained to himself for a while and calmly returned to the game. Just three minutes later, Nie Jiang completed his redemption with a goal.
In the 19th minute of the second half, Nie Jiang used his running position to get a chance in the penalty area. Among the defenders such as Sydney FC, he accurately found Xiang Tiange's pass and made a beautiful header.
The ball rubbed against the ball, and after drawing a strange arc, it bypassed Janjetovich's hand and flew into the net.
"Well, to be able to score a goal with a header in the Australian team's penalty area, Nie Jiang's ability to move and grab points is really strong." Liu Jiayuan also had to express his heartfelt praise.
Zhang Sheng on the sidelines shook his fist excitedly. With the score of 1:2 and complete control of the situation on the court, there was basically no suspense in the game.
As for what Liu Jiayuan said about heading the ball in the penalty area, Zhang Sheng thought it was not worth mentioning at all.
Heading goals in the penalty area does not mean that whoever is taller has an absolute advantage. Otherwise, if I put two or three two-meter-tall big men in the penalty area, then all the headers would belong to me.
The most important thing about header shooting is the player's ability to grab points and control the ball with his head. Many players who are not tall can repeatedly score headers in the penalty area because of these two points.
Of course, the footwork of the person responsible for passing the ball and the tacit understanding between the person passing the ball and the person heading the ball are also very important.
Obviously, when facing the A-League team, Nie Jiang is better than the opponent in these two points. Xiang Tiange's footwork and passing skills are also very good with accuracy.
Then the goal came as a matter of course.
The Longteng team, which had taken the lead, took the initiative to slow down the pace of the game and began to use more of their foot skills to control the ball in the midfield, and gradually attracted Sydney FC's formation.
When Sydney FC thought they had a chance to attack, the Longteng team once again launched several fast-paced raids. Fortunately, Janjetovic was in good condition and saved Ben Alpha and Chavez continuously.
And Tao Wentao's very threatening shot.
Thirty-five minutes into the second half, after their center back Ryal received his second yellow card and was sent off, Sydney FC completely gave up their resistance.
Zhang Sheng easily used up his three substitution quotas, replacing Nie Jiang, Ben Alpha and Xiang Tiange, giving other players more opportunities to play.
In the end, the Longteng team won the away game with a score of 1:2. At the same time, the team's two consecutive wins also ranked first in the group.
This crushing victory not only made domestic fans lament the strength of the Dragons, but even the AFC praised the dominance of the Dragons on its official website, claiming that the Dragons are still a strong contender for the AFC Champions League this season.
