Judging from the situation in the last game, whether it is the midfielder position or the holding midfielder position, in summary, the defense must be strengthened.
Rock Gill had to rest for more than two weeks because of his injury in the last game, and as a foreign aid, he will always have to leave. Which player should be trained to be the hub for offensive and defensive transitions is a question that Zhang Sheng must consider now.
Zhang Sheng's first choice is Qi Ming.
Qi Ming was previously the left midfielder, responsible for delivering shells to Ben Alpha, filling the gaps for Ben Alpha when he came up, and finally assisting Roque Gil in defense. His task was not an arduous one.
After he moved from this position to the defensive midfielder, who would fill his position became a big problem again. It can be seen that such a substitution affects the whole body.
Due to Roque Gil's injury, De Paul, as the fourth foreign aid, can temporarily play Qi Ming's previous position, but his defensive ability is average. We can only hope that he and Ben Alpha form the Longteng team's left offensive corridor, completely
To suppress the opponent team's right wing, in addition to Lu Zhihui, the left center back, who needs to be more cautious and try not to participate in the attack, the players who are the defensive midfielders and deep-lying midfielders must also strengthen their coverage of the left wing.
The current problem is that Ma Yongli does not understand deeply enough how to go back and forth between the central defender and the defensive midfielder. The reason why he was repeatedly penetrated in the middle in the last game has a lot to do with his unstable performance, but these two positions
The swing, the players' grasp of the situation on the field, and the sense of position are extremely demanding. This cannot be accomplished overnight.
Zhang Sheng's last move is to make all players run more and compress the formation as much as possible to reduce the opponent's breakthrough space.
Because most of the media were obsessed with the penalty kick after the game, some very critical data in the last game were buried in saliva, that is, the running distance of both teams in the last game, and the sprint of both teams.
The running distance has reached an extremely high level, and the Longteng team even broke the records of these two statistics.
Let’s not talk about the running distance in the whole game. Even Liu Jianhong and Huang Jianxiang expressed their surprise during the commentary. The Longteng team’s running distance of 123 kilometers is the highest data in the history of the Chinese Super League. And in terms of sprint distance, that is
In a high-intensity run with a speed exceeding 21 kilometers per hour, the Longteng team also broke the record with a distance of 4,212 meters.
These two data show that the Longteng team is the best in the Chinese Super League in terms of the overall movement of the team and the input of the players into the game.
In particular, Qi Ming's sprint distance of 689 meters has reached the world's top level, because the world's top players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar, their average high-intensity running distance per game is just over 700 meters. Of course,
Like Messi, who averaged only 519 meters per game last season, but the "wonder" with excellent statistics is another matter. After all, the efficiency Messi brings every time he sprints is unparalleled.
In fact, this is Zhang Sheng's expectation for every player and team's tactics - more high-intensity running and more effective results.
After finishing the game against Guangzhou Evergrande, Zhang Sheng gave all the players on the team a rare two days off, because the next game will not start until a week later, but after the next game, the Longteng team will face
Fighting on the third front, playing double matches for a week in a row, the AFC Champions League, the League, and the FA Cup, Zhang Sheng does not want to give up. It is necessary to give the players some rest time in the process.
But during this rest period, bad news came.
Ben Arfa made a transfer request to Zhang Sheng, and a French Ligue 1 team took a fancy to his performance and made a request to buy him.
Regarding Ben Alpha, when Zhang Sheng bought him into the team, he did not expect him to stay in the team for a long time. He just did not expect that he would request a transfer in the middle of the league. This is not good for the team.
information.
It's a pity that Ben Alfa was very determined: "Summer transfer is the most important period of each season for European clubs. The club's planning, the head coach's tactical arrangements, the determination of core players, and the players' adaptation to tactics.
Basically, it was decided during this transfer. Unless there are special circumstances, winter transfers are basically just tinkering. I don’t want to be the tinkerer, I should be the core. So I still hope to be able to
Complete the transfer in the summer transfer window."
"Yes. I approve it in principle, but I hope that the transfer fee can match your worth. I don't think you want to return to Europe at a humiliating price." Zhang Sheng put forward his own opinion. "Don't worry,
I will not deliberately block your way back to Europe."
"Thank you." Ben Alpha said.
He knows Zhang Sheng's attitude towards players' circulation - freedom to come and go. As long as he is not the one who plays tricks, Zhang Sheng will definitely not interfere.
As in history, it is the Nice team that is interested in Ben Alfa. As early as the beginning of 2016, the Chinese-American Li Jian, the boss of New City Hotel Group, and Plateno Group, where the first domestic hotel chain brand 7 Days Hotel is located, attracted a
A large number of Chinese and American companies are preparing to invest in French Ligue 1 team Nice.
Their target is Ben Alfa who plays in the Chinese Super League. This player still has a lot of fans in France. At the same time, he has a lot of influence in the Chinese Super League. Such a player really meets their requirements.
.
For Plateno Group, it has made major moves one after another in recent years, including privatizing 7 Days Inn, acquiring eLong Travel Network with Ctrip, and acquiring Jinjiang International Group.
In order to develop the European market, especially Nice, the second largest tourist resort city in France, buying a Nice club and then buying a player like Ben. For them, money is really not a problem. If they can buy a
It is truly a natural choice for Chinese Super League players to come and play in France, and it is most attractive to Chinese tourists traveling to Europe, especially France.
Soon, Nice sent a transfer negotiation for Ben Alfa to the Longteng Club, as well as a request for club cooperation. Zhang Sheng did not participate in such requests and negotiations. The main person responsible for this matter was the club's management and
Longteng Group.
This is not a simple player transaction, it is destined to be a long-term tug-of-war, and there is no rush.
Zhang Sheng has only one request for Ben Alpha: "Be at your best and play the rest of the game well."
However, the next game made Zhang Sheng a little unhappy. In the home game against Shanghai Shenhua, the Longteng team drew again.
This season Shanghai Shenhua has made great improvements in its tactical arrangements and execution since Manzano arrived.
Manzano is a head coach with a very clear self-awareness, and one of his great strengths is that he can adapt to the situation.
After coming to Shanghai Shenhua, Manzano found a very simple and efficient offensive method in view of the average age of the team: long diagonal passes in the midfield and backcourt to find the weak side ribs, and strong forwards on the wings. The forwards relied on ability to solve the problem.
question.
Under this style of play, given that it is an away game, Shanghai Shenhua's ball movement in this game is faster, the passing is more purposeful, and the offensive method is simpler and rougher.
In addition, the pressing tactics adopted by the Longteng team gave Shanghai Shenhua the opportunity to attack from behind. This game was very thrilling for the Longteng team.
Shanghai Shenhua put Qin Sheng and Guarin in the midfield, two midfielders who are active in defense and have strong sweeping ability. Especially on the front line, Demba Ba is too strong. Whether it is Lu Zhihui or Du Zhenyu, it is difficult to say that they can hold it 100%.
His impact.
Although the Longteng team relied on the cooperation of Ben Alpha and Nie Jiang in the first half, Ben Alpha scored a goal and took the lead, but in the second half, Demba Ba just pushed away Lu Zhihui in the penalty area and volleyed
Evened the score.
In the end, Shanghai Shenhua relied on Li Shuai's high defense to hold on to the 1:1 score until the end of the game.
Shanghai Shenhua's goal in this game is completely a reflection of Demba Ba's personal ability. There is really no way for the Longteng team to concede the goal, and Shenhua's attack direction is the side where Ben Alpha and De Paul are.
, reflecting the loopholes in the defense on the left.
After seven rounds of games, the Longteng team has the same score as Jiangsu Suning due to two consecutive draws with five wins and two draws. However, the Longteng team ranks first because of its higher goal difference; while Guangzhou Evergrande has four points.
With three wins and three draws, they ranked third with 15 points; followed by Shanghai SIPG and China Fortune Land Development.
If the top few are veterans of the Chinese Super League, it is normal for them to be ranked at the front, then China Fortune Land Development, a newly promoted team from the Chinese Super League, led by a novice coach like Li Gang, is only four points behind the first-place Longteng team, which is very
It is so rare that domestic football even believes that with the financial resources and investment of the group behind China Fortune, it will be a new championship challenger for the Chinese Super League, and Li Gang is also considered to be a new generation of outstanding local coaches, and his professional
His career teammate Zhang Sheng was also known as Yuliang for a while.
Looking back at the Longteng team, not only have they tied for two consecutive games, but they have also been strongly interfered by the national team echelon.
In order to prepare for the 2016 Asian Youth Championship and Asian Youth Championship, the Longteng team, which has a large number of players from the National Youth Team and the National Youth Team, was heavily mobilized. Especially the National Youth Team is based on players from 1998. This is different from the Longteng Team.
Many players on the team are highly overlapping.
Shen Jun, Zeng Wengrong and Liming were transferred as qualified substitutes for the team. This was the result of Zhang Sheng's argument. Otherwise, the ones who were transferred would have been core players of the Longteng team such as Nie Jiang, Xiang Tiange and Huang Dawei.
Already.
After the league, the AFC Champions League has officially arrived. This round of the AFC Champions League is the last round of the group stage, because the Longteng team has already determined the first place in the group. For this game, Zhang Sheng basically arranged a lineup with half of the main players and half of the rotation.
.
In particular, the young player Chen Yinuo also played as a central defender. This was really an unexpected surprise for him who was only sixteen and a half years old.
At the same time, Zhang Sheng's key test is Ma Yongli's substitute. As a swingman for the defensive midfielder and central defender, there is now a player in the Longteng team who has played both central defender and defensive midfielder, and that is Zhang Hao.
Judging from the actual game results, it's okay.
Of course, this is also related to the opponent of this game. The opponent of this game is Sydney FC. This is a typical Australian team. They are tall and strong. They like to use confrontation to bully East Asian teams. Unfortunately, they
What arrived was Zhang Hao with a beast-like body.
It was as if Zhang Hao's first AFC Champions League was happening again. That time Zhang Hao faced an Australian team and used his body to bully the Australians who loved to use their body to play football. The same happened this time.
In the first half, Zhang Hao's strong body was like a tornado sweeping through the center back and midfielder positions. Sydney FC's center forward and midfielder players were crushed by him alone. In such a situation
Under such circumstances, the Longteng team's offense relied on small, flexible and skilled technical players like Ni Kai and Yan Xiaoyu to thrive.
At the end of the first half, the Longteng team led 2:0.
In the second half, Sydney FC made substitution adjustments. A flexible offensive player was added to the midfielder position. Zhang Hao was immediately confused. He could only focus on his head and not his hips. In addition, Chen Yinuo was too young.
Although Du Zhenyu helped him, he still made many mistakes.
Sydney FC equalized the score twenty minutes into the second half. Seeing this situation, Zhang Sheng did not make substitutions, but appropriately strengthened the offense. Because Ben Alpha did not play, De Paul became the
As the team's offensive core, the Longteng team gave him as much offensive resources as possible.
Sure enough, after forming a confrontational attitude, the two sides' offense appeared again. First, De Paul exceeded the score again, and then Sydney FC equalized again.
In the stoppage time of the game, Zou Weijia showed his ability as a center forward. He jumped into the penalty area and scored a winning goal. The Longteng team relied on this goal to win the game 4:3.
.
Although it was difficult to win this game, Zhang Sheng was very happy that he could win the AFC Champions League game with a lineup that was basically composed of substitute players. It can only be said that the bench strength of the Longteng team is already the top in Asia.
, this is still a result achieved when three absolute rotation-level players were transferred to the national echelon.
The victory in the AFC Champions League brought great encouragement to the young players who played in this game. At the same time, it was announced after the game that they would be the starting players in the FA Cup.
After the AFC Champions League, in the next league, the Longteng team used a completely different lineup. In addition to preventing Roque Gill from getting injured again, Zhang Sheng just let him sit on the bench after he had recovered from his injury.
At the same time, the team easily defeated Hangzhou Greentown 2:0 in the away game.
The two forwards Chavez and Nie Jiang scored again.
It is so shocking that both lineups of the Longteng team can win on both lines. The Chinese Super League clubs and fans who reacted had to be stunned by the strong bench depth of the Longteng team.
The discussion on the Internet is also one-sided: "The Dragons sell their captain every year, and the result is that the more they sell, the stronger they become."
And someone else predicted: "According to this situation, the wealthy teams in the Chinese Super League will have another target to attack."
