At this stage of the season, it will soon become apparent whether a team or club has experience in two-front operations.
Like the Dragons, Guangzhou Evergrande also won the AFC Champions League. In the first round of the AFC Champions League, due to Martinez's lack of tacit understanding, they suffered an upset loss to Melbourne Victory in the away game. Strong staffing and effective training
The planning and rich logistics experience allowed them to advance rapidly without any defeat, whether in the AFC Champions League or the Chinese Super League.
On the contrary, Jiangsu Suning and Shanghai SIPG, which do not have much experience in two-front operations, are a bit troubled.
Jiangsu Suning is a little better. Their predecessor, Jiangsu Sainty, still has some experience in the AFC Champions League. Their results in the league are 2 wins and a draw, which is not bad. However, it is a bit difficult to play in the AFC Champions League. The first three games were 2 wins and a draw.
But they were all small wins by one goal. In this round, they lost to Tokyo FC at home. Fortunately, the biggest competitor in the same group, Jeonbuk Hyundai, was also defeated by Binh Duong, Vietnam, and luckily led by a slight advantage of one point.
Tokyo FC and Jeonbuk Hyundai are tied with six points.
Shanghai SIPG, which has never experienced two-line combat, is embarrassed. In the AFC Champions League, the situation is average. It had two draws and one win before, and was tied again this round. It can be said that it remains unbeaten, but it only has six points, ranking second.
Third place in the group; as for the state in the league, it was too bad, with two draws and one loss in the first three rounds, and it was difficult to win.
In the first season of the Chinese Super League, the Longteng team failed to reach the end of the league and the AFC Champions League. It is indeed a pity, but the experience of fighting on two fronts has given the team too much help. They were able to win the double championship last season.
Wang, it can be said that the accumulation of last season cannot be underestimated.
By this season, the Longteng team, which has become accustomed to fighting on two fronts, seems to be very relaxed. Even if its two main centers are unable to play, it now maintains a complete victory record in both the league and the AFC Champions League.
What made domestic fans and football people even more happy about this game was the outburst of the local players of the Longteng team.
In such a crucial away game, facing the Devils at home and with only two foreign players available, the team overcame the difficulties and not only won the game, but both goals came from local players. By the end of the game
During this stage, the all-Chinese class lineup was maintained on the field, but the opponent had to bring in a foreign player.
This shows that at least in the competition between local players from the top clubs in the Chinese Super League and J-League, they no longer suffer.
The day after finishing the AFC Champions League match, the Longteng team flew directly to Beijing, because on April 9, the Longteng team was going to challenge Beijing Guoan away from home.
After the start of this season, Beijing Guoan was shocking. Augusto, who broke the club's transfer record before the season, plus foreign players such as Ralph and Yilmaz who were not bad at all, finally cooperated with
For a famous coach like Zaccheroni, the expectations of the outside world are not low.
Without the fetters of the AFC Champions League, the team should have more time to adapt in terms of physical fitness and tactical adjustment. However, judging from the situation in the first three league games, the team played very poorly.
After a 0:0 home draw with Guangzhou Evergrande in the first round of the league, everyone thought the team was on the right track. Unexpectedly, in the next two games, it actually lost two games in a row, and these two opponents also lost
They are all newly promoted teams in the Chinese Super League this season.
Such results are simply unbelievable. If you lose to China Fortune Land Development, you can say that the opponent is a local tycoon. If you lose to Yanbian Fude who has basically no investment, then there is no excuse.
There are many reasons for this problem, including mistakes in the recruitment of foreign players - the team that Yilmaz came to with injuries was unable to play in the first few games, while Kleber was a player who was originally scheduled to be purged, but successfully stayed on the team.
, there is absolutely no desire to compete.
There is a personal reason for the head coach - Zaccheroni, as a famous coach, is too arrogant and thinks that he has been coaching in Asia for many years and knows something about Asian players. But in fact, Zaccheroni still pretends to be confused and understands that he
I don’t understand the players of Guoan at all, not to mention their personality and working habits, I don’t even have a thorough understanding of their basic technical characteristics and physical conditions. I just see some clues and think that I understand them.
What's more important is the positioning of the club itself. After missing out on qualifying for the AFC Champions League, the club began to reform its equity, and the cooperation with LeTV has many drawbacks.
According to the contract between the two parties, LeTV requires 2 billion to purchase 50% of the shares of Beijing Guoan, of which 100 million in sponsorship fees is equivalent to a deposit, which will be fully paid by the end of March.
But the actual situation is that except for the first tranche of 20 million and the second tranche of 30 million, there is no further news.
Leaving aside the fact that LeTV itself is a big liar, Beijing Guoan’s positioning itself is not accurate, and there is no reasonable argument, market analysis, and correct evaluation. In the end, it can only be greedy for petty gains and suffer big losses.
This has a huge impact on the players in the team. In addition, the loss of domestic players is severe, and the replacement players are too young and do not have the strength to start in the Chinese Super League, which makes the club decline particularly badly.
Specific to the game against the Longteng team, the scene was a complete mess. The offense could not go up and the defense could not defend. At the end of the first half, the Longteng team already led 0:2 on the road.
Because this game is a consecutive double-match away game, and due to the impact of injuries, the Longteng team fielded a half-main and half-substitute lineup, including Xiang Tiange, Ma Yongli, Tao Wentao, and Qi Ming.
Many of the main players sat on the bench. Yan Xiaoyu, Ni Kai, Liming, Huang He and others on the court were all new players.
But even with such newcomers, they are playing very vigorously, with strict tactical training and targeted arrangements for the characteristics of the players, which is far better than the chaotic deployment of Beijing Guoan.
In the first half, Ben Alpha and starter De Paul each scored a goal, basically killing the game.
In the second half, after Ben Arfa and Roque Gil were replaced, the Longteng team still controlled the situation on the field. Zou Weijia's header from the frontcourt free kick completely ended the game.
This goal silenced the home court of the former devil of the Chinese Super League, followed by angry roars of "return our country to safety" and hoarse "get out of class" voices from the entire audience.
Zaccheroni looked embarrassed on the sidelines.
In the end, the game ended with the Longteng team defeating Beijing Guoan with three goals in an away game.
The media's words after the game gave a high-level summary of the game: "Fans who don't know better think that this game is a double match a week between Beijing and Guoan. The Longteng team is a team that plays continuously at home and abroad. It is the team that is waiting for work."
After scoring three points against Beijing Guoan in the away game, the Longteng team finally had some breathing time. The next game will not come until a week later, and the players can finally take a rest.
During these few days of rest, major events related to Chinese football came one after another. First, on April 11, the Chinese Football Association released the "On the Issuance of the Medium and Long-term Development Plan for Chinese Football (2016-2050)" through its official website.
"Notice". In this development plan, the short-term goals, medium-term goals and long-term goals for the future of Chinese football are clarified.
This can be regarded as the stage goal requirements set by the Chinese government for football. It has very detailed quantitative requirements for the number of young players, the number of venues, etc. It can be said that the goal cannot be clearer.
The outside world unanimously believes that China's football industry may usher in a "singularity": various football clubs will usher in a golden period of development, football lottery may break the ice, "football + Internet" will create an entrepreneurial boom, and the football industry chain may usher in all-round development.
Correspondingly, the stocks of two already listed football clubs, Longteng Football Club and Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao Club, soared.
As the leader of Chinese football clubs, the stock price of Longteng Club once rose to 70 yuan per share. Although it fell slightly later, the price of 67 yuan per share still amazed everyone.
Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao also rose to 58 yuan per share due to the impact of the good news.
You must know that the restriction time for reverse operations of private placements has now passed, and the stocks in the hands of all institutions and companies participating in private placements are tradable, and they have truly made a huge profit.
Just as important as national-level planning is the draw ceremony for the top 12 of the 2018 Russia World Cup Asian Qualifiers on April 12. This draw will determine which opponents the Chinese national team will face in this budget tournament.
Of course, although the Chinese national team has been making up for the past two years, and has performed well in warm-up matches and world preliminaries, the foundation is too poor after all. Compared with the fourth-level team in history, this time it has only become the third-level team.
, we will still encounter many strong Asian teams.
However, there are only so many teams in Asia, and there are so many victims in the history of Chinese football. If you get rid of this one, you will definitely encounter another one. It doesn't mean much what level you are classified into.
In the end, the Chinese team was still the same as in history, being placed in a group A with Iran, South Korea, Uzbekistan, Qatar, and Syria.
Facing opponents with mostly teams from Central and Western Asia, because the styles of these teams are more troublesome for the national football team, and the away games are very difficult, the domestic media are very worried. But Zhang Sheng is very confident. Iran is very strong, and the Chinese team may
I'm a little scared, but South Korea is capable of fighting, and the other three teams are the targets of the Chinese team to compete for points.
Of course, this requires the Chinese team to show its own strength.
The funniest reaction was from the Japanese and Korean media. The Korean domestic media unanimously thought that it was great to draw the Chinese team. It felt like winning the SSR team. Six points were already confirmed. The Japanese media also had a look on their face.
I didn't win the Chinese team's expression.
Zhang Sheng doesn’t know where the sense of superiority between Japanese and Korean fans comes from. In the past three years, the Longteng team has cultivated a large number of talents for national teams at all levels. In the budget competition of the Olympic Games at the beginning of the year, the Chinese Olympic team won
The runner-up qualified for the Rio Olympics. In the semi-finals, they defeated South Korea 3-1. After a 2-2 draw with Japan in the final, they lost on penalty kicks.
In terms of young talent reserves, the Chinese team has begun to slowly recover. "It seems that just humiliating you in the club is not enough." Zhang Sheng thought maliciously.
It is the domestic fans who have different opinions from the domestic and foreign media.
Influenced by the club's good results in recent years and the national team's success in qualifying for the group stage, they all agreed that it would not be difficult for the Chinese team to qualify as long as they played hard and showed their strength.
"Three teams in our Group A have participated in the World Cup, China is one of them, and five teams in Group B have participated in the World Cup...except Thailand. Therefore, China is still more competitive in Group A.
"This is the analysis of the data emperor.
"There is no better draw than this one. We have recently won against South Korea and Iran. We even defeated the Qatar team twice. Uzbekistan has won and lost each other. Syria and the national football team are evenly matched. It is a good draw." This is the analysis of the historical emperor.
"Double kill Syria and Qatar, one win and one draw against Uzbekistan, and a total of 4 points from South Korea and Iran. With 20 points, the Chinese team should be able to qualify. Come on, Chinese team!" There is even a prophecy emperor!
Fans have planned the outcome of the game.
"The local players of the Dragon Team plus a few who have studied abroad are enough for us to qualify." Compared with the previous "emperors", it was this message from a fan of the Dragon Team that got the most approval.
Maybe the butt determines the head. The ones who unanimously welcomed the Chinese team to qualify for the group stage were the Korean foreign players who played in the Chinese Super League. They all claimed that they would be happy to join the Chinese team to enter the World Cup finals. It seems that money is the best
say.
The heat of the national team's draw for the groupings quickly passed, and the Chinese Super League ushered in the fifth round of competition over the weekend.
In this round of competition, the Longteng team will face Henan Jianye, which has performed very well in the first four rounds.
This season, Henan Jianye still has a prudent style, introducing many young players from other clubs or main players from the reserve team. Through their hard running and sharp defensive counterattacks, they are very eye-catching. The team's head coach "
"Jia Xuexue" also walked away with his points in his hands and his head down, saying that he loved learning. He continued to study from south to north, but he still had many points.
Before the game, Jia's attitude towards study and guidance was extremely low, and the word "study" never left his lips.
His original intention was to keep a low profile, but when it came to the game and faced the Longteng team, which was already determined to qualify for the AFC Champions League and played with all its main players, he really had to learn.
Because there was no double match in a week, the players of the Longteng team were full of physical strength. The pressure from the whole court made Henan Jianye breathless. Although they defended desperately and held on to the first half, in the second half, Henan Jianye, whose physical fitness could not keep up, collapsed.
In the 20th minute of the second half, the Longteng team lost two goals in a row and completely killed the game.
The score of 2:0 also convinced Jia, the arrogant study guide: "The Longteng team is too strong. They have too many good players. This score is normal."
Zhang Sheng has great admiration for Jia Xuexue, who likes to train young people. Henan Jianye itself does not have much financial investment, but he is very good at discovering potential young players from other clubs and giving them more game opportunities.
For example, Long Cheng and Li Xiaoming are all good young players trained by Director Jia.
It is conceivable that without a system, Zhang Sheng could only choose the same approach as Director Jia. It is really hard to say whether the result would be as good as him.
Therefore, Zhang Sheng's words after the game were true: "Henan Jianye's tactical thinking is clear, and the players executed it very well. As long as they are given time, they will be a force that cannot be ignored in the Chinese Super League."
