When only Zhang Sheng and Lu Zhihui were left in the ward, the topic returned to football.
"Yesterday, the national team coach Perlan called me and asked about your injury." Zhang Sheng said with a little regret, "When he found out, he also expressed his regret."
Lu Zhihui also understood what Zhang Sheng said, because on May 19, Perlan announced the new training list for the Chinese national team, which included Lu Zhihui.
But according to the current situation, Lu Zhihui will definitely be removed from the training list, and his injury will definitely make him miss the next few extremely important qualifiers. As for after the injury recovers, it is difficult to say, because
Nowadays, there are really many newcomers in the Chinese Super League, and the competition is far more fierce than in history.
Zhang Sheng's words made Lu Zhihui, who seemed very relaxed just now, become a little depressed.
But Lu Zhihui would have to know this news sooner or later, and Peilan would definitely call and communicate with Lu Zhihui. It would be better for Zhang Sheng to inform this matter himself first.
"You know, many people outside say that our Dragon Team likes to sell out its captain. According to them, as the vice-captain, you will be very dangerous." Zhang Sheng also saw Lu Zhihui's expression and made a joke first.
Lu Zhihui looked at him in horror, then raised his eyebrows narrowly, "But don't worry. I won't sell you as the vice-captain. As long as you don't ask to leave, you will always be on my list."
.”
Hearing Zhang Sheng's own ridicule, Lu Zhihui was a little bit dumbfounded. He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Unless the club kicks me out, I won't leave."
"Then you can rest assured and recover from your injuries. Don't be anxious. When you are completely healed, you will come back." Zhang Sheng gave Lu Zhihui a reassurance, "As for the national team, when you recover from your injuries and perform well, you will be back."
It's an opportunity. You know, you are still 'young' at the center back position."
Zhang Sheng's words are indeed true.
From now on, the Longteng team will mainly play with three central defenders, and currently there are only four or five players in the team who can play the central defender position. Among them, Li Ming is still very young. In addition to playing games, Lu Zhihui also
There is a very important task, which is to pass on your game experience to young players like Liming, Lu Yangyang, Chen Yinuo and Gao Yiyan.
As for Lu Zhihui's age, for the central defender position, he has just entered his golden age at less than thirty years old.
Zhang Sheng's promise gave Lu Zhihui a lot of support. His expression became visibly relaxed, and his thousands of words were reduced to one sentence: "Thank you, coach."
After finishing the chat with Lu Zhihui, Zhang Sheng did not stay long. He returned to the club, because three days later, the Longteng team had another league game to play, and it was an away game, and it was far away, and they had to go to the northeastern Liaoning to play against Liaoning Hongyun.
Under the leadership of Zhang Sheng, the Longteng team's lineup mainly consisted of rotations and substitute players, and won the away game with a score of 1:3. Liming's performance was very good, which made Zhang Sheng's match against Lu Zhihui possible for a long time.
The three-month injury layoff has reduced my worries a lot.
This round of competition has a very fierce focus battle. Guangzhou Evergrande easily defeated Jiangsu Suning 2:0 at home. This is the second place in the league and the third place in the league. It is also the fighting spirit between the old tycoons and the new tycoons.
In the end, the more mature Guangzhou Heng laughed to the end.
Among them, Jiangsu Suning not only lost the game, but also lost a general. Former Longteng player Xiao Yunfan, who has been used as a superman by the club and head coach without rest, and who also contributed a lot in every game, was injured.
.
As a signing for Jiangsu Suning this season, both the club and the fans consider it a very cost-effective signing. Xiao Yunfan's skills have provided Suning with very good offensive firepower on the wing. Even if he often causes defensive loopholes in favor of one thing and the other, everyone understands it.
.
This casts a shadow over Jiangsu Suning's AFC Champions League match at home three days later.
The Longteng team, which had just finished the league, did not have any time to rest. They flew directly from Liaoning to South Korea to participate in the AFC Champions League and participate in the second round match against FC Seoul. Fortunately, Liaoning was not too far from South Korea.
Not only FC Seoul, but the entire Korean football world is paying attention to the away challenge of the Dragons. All media are giving advice to FC Seoul, helping them analyze the tactics of the Dragons, analyze Zhang Sheng, and analyze the players of the Dragons.
We, even if these analyzes have been done countless times, even after the analysis is completed, it is still difficult for them to win.
Lu Zhihui's injury gave them hope this time.
As the Long Teng team's unbeatable main center back in recent years, Lu Zhihui cannot be ignored in both the defense in the backcourt and the set-piece offense in the frontcourt.
In the analysis of the Korean media, Liming, a young central defender who is only 18 years old, has become a natural weakness for them, because experience is so important in the central defender position.
As an excellent head coach, Choi Yong-soo, the head coach of FC Seoul, is certainly no worse than those in the media. As someone who has personally played against the Dragons many times, he thinks more and is more prepared.
Choi Yong-soo’s top priority is physical fitness.
Like the Dragons, FC Seoul originally had a league game to play after their AFC Champions League game. However, considering that the next AFC Champions League match against the Dragons was next, and the Korean national team also had to start from FC Seoul,
After redeploying manpower, the Korean Football Association decided to move the game to June.
This means that FC Seoul spent a week summarizing the problems and formulating countermeasures to meet the challenge of the Dragons.
Judging from the last round of the game, the Longteng team was very confrontational, even more active than the South Korean team, which used to be the most confrontational team in Asia. This really made Choi Yongzhu a little unexpected at the time, which led to FC Seoul actually starting to be afraid on the court.
The Long Teng team's confrontation even required Choi Yong-soo on the sidelines to emphasize the confrontation during halftime.
But fighting against this thing is based on physical fitness.
After the last round of the AFC Champions League, the Longteng team did not rest like Seoul FC. Instead, they went to challenge their opponents away from home. Now they have to fly over to challenge themselves in an away game. Choi Yong-soo's current requirement for the team is to be better than the Longteng team.
He was very tough and took advantage of being able to wait and see at home to force the Dragons to work hard.
In addition to competing with the Dragons for physical fitness, Choi Yong-soo also made adjustments in the offense. Dejan did not start this time, but Park Ju-young started. Seoul FC put up a lineup of two fast forwards.
It is obviously aimed at the fact that the three central defenders on the Longteng team are all big men.
Finally, the Korean media unanimously mentioned Liming, the new center back of the Longteng team, and became the target of Cui Yongzhu.
After the game started, considering the continuous away games, Zhang Sheng consciously reduced the pressing and let the players play more passes.
However, this intention was caught red-handed by Choi Yong-soo. Compared to the Longteng team, which was somewhat avoiding the battle, Seoul FC's morale was completely shattered.
In the first minute of the game, Gao Yaohan on the right slammed into Ben Alpha, knocked the latter away, and got the ball. Then Gao Yaohan ran all the way down the wing, forcing the Longteng team to
Qi Ming, who was assisting on defense on the left, shoveled the ball out of the baseline, and FC Seoul got a corner kick opportunity at the beginning.
Seoul FC, who got the corner kick, were very smart. They knew that Dejan was not available and they had no center. They wisely took a tactical corner kick, and Park Joo-young, who took the corner kick, and Go Yao-han, who was cooperating with him, were far away. The Longteng team was completely
Didn't expect that.
When Gao Yaohan got the ball, the Longteng players were too late to press. The unguarded Gao Yaohan's pass accurately found Osmar in the penalty area, and the latter jumped high to fight for it.
top.
At this time, Liming's advantage came into play. Although he was a centimeter or two shorter than Osmar, Liming could jump much higher than his opponent. At the same time, his strong body was not afraid of Osmar, who has the best physical condition in Asia.
During the confrontation, a powerful header pushed the ball out of the penalty area.
The unexpected corner kick tactics prepared by FC Seoul were ruined by Dawn.
Liming's performance this time surprised both Choi Yong-soo and Osmar.
Choi Yong-soo didn't expect that Liming's stance would be so accurate, his take-off would be so timely, and his concentration would be so concentrated, while Osmar was amazed by Liming's physical fitness, especially her jumping - it was far better than he imagined.
It should be said that Cui Yongzhu did not make mistakes in collecting intelligence. Li Ming's weak sense of position and lack of concentration are his biggest shortcomings. This player summoned with the enhanced version of Dewey, in addition to containing Dewey's
In addition to various strengths, he also inherited various weaknesses from Dewey.
In most cases, such weaknesses will follow these players throughout their lives, like Dewey until the end of his career. Even with many years of game experience, weak positional awareness and lack of concentration often occur.
The difference is that Zhang Sheng has systematic help, and the special training function allows young players like Liming to greatly make up for various weaknesses.
Li Ming, who has been specially trained by the system for nearly a year, has made great progress at this time and has reached the final moment of finalizing his potential.
The next attack of the Longteng team was quickly ended - FC Seoul relied on Yojiro Takaki to make a decisive foul before the ball passed half time, so Qi Ming's ball was not passed at all.
This is also the tactic that Choi Yong-soo focuses on in this game - to counterattack the Longteng team's offense as soon as possible, and it is okay to commit a foul. After all, this is the home court of FC Seoul. Fouls in the frontcourt are basically not allowed as long as the action is not bad.
Eat cards.
Qi Ming, who was grabbed by his clothes by Yojiro Takaki, complained to the referee to no avail, so he could only reluctantly take the free kick in the backcourt. At this time, the players of FC Seoul had already established their defensive position.
After the Longteng team failed to find a good shooting opportunity through continuous forward moves, they patiently moved the football to the backcourt and slowly mobilized FC Seoul's formation.
Compared with the previous game, Seoul FC's current confrontation intensity is much greater. Park Joo-young in the frontcourt and Adriano, who was sleepwalking in the last game, desperately participated in the high press.
FC Seoul's high-position press was very resolute, and the level of the press was also very good. It would be difficult for the Dragons players to respond by slowly stepping back.
Under the leadership of FC Seoul, the players of the Longteng team also accelerated the speed of passing. At the same time, they also used the pressing tactics that they had formed a habit of. The game on the field became very intense for a while.
Seeing the situation on the field, the fans on the sidelines were extremely happy. Being able to see such a high-tempo game was much better than those dull and sleepy games.
Even the two commentators in charge of the commentary were watching with excitement. Among them, the main commentator Shen Fangjian said: "It was another wonderful AFC Champions League game, and it was a typical Longteng team game. The confrontation was fierce and the rhythm was fast. In the end,
There is a high probability that the game will end with a big score.”
Since the start of this season, whether in the league or the AFC Champions League, the Longteng team has remained undefeated. They play extremely passionately, open and close, and there is never a lack of goals in the game. So far, there is only one game.
Only one goal was scored. In other games, the Longteng team scored at least two goals or more, and sometimes even six goals.
Sun Lei, who was commentating with Shen Fangjian for this game, agreed: "The overall strength of the Longteng team is indeed strong now, and with the addition of several outstanding foreign players, a big score is normal."
The fans and commentators were delighted, and Zhang Sheng was even happier.
Zhang Sheng had made arrangements for the distribution of physical energy before the game. How could he follow the opponent's ideas?
We can only blame this round of the AFC Champions League. The attitudes of the Chinese and Korean Football Associations are very different.
The Korean Football Association adjusted the league schedule for the clubs in its league, which was unimaginable in the past.
Previously, the head coach of a K-League AFC Champions League team said: "This (AFC Champions League and league) schedule will kill people." However, the Korean Football Association remained indifferent.
A few years ago, for the sake of the results of the AFC Champions League, the Chinese Football Association attached great importance to the AFC Champions League for its own political achievements. It was a common thing to adjust the league for the AFC Champions League; while South Korea was much calmer.
, unless it is an important match in the knockout stage, the league will generally not be adjusted for the AFC Champions League; as for Japan, it is much weirder. The AFC Champions League has never been taken seriously by them. Not only the Japanese Football Association looks down on the AFC Champions League, but also countless J-League clubs.
They all use the AFC Champions League games as training.
The situation now is completely different.
Since Guangzhou Evergrande won the AFC Champions League in the Chinese Super League, especially after the rise of the Longteng team, which was unprecedented in history, the Japanese and Korean clubs that have been repeatedly defeated by these two Chinese Super League teams and the Japanese and Korean Football Associations they belong to have truly regarded the AFC Champions League as a
"Asia's Champions League" is treating.
In addition to the Korean Football Association adjusting the schedule for Seoul FC, the other two K-League teams, Jeonbuk Hyundai and Suwon Samsung, both received a rest in the last round of the league.
As for the Japanese J-League teams, they are now reflecting at home and bombarding the Japan Football Association. Four J-League clubs were wiped out in the group stage, and they can only watch their mortal enemies, the Chinese Super League and K-League clubs, in Asia.
Galloping in the crown.
In fact, historically, the Japan Football Association has also adjusted the league schedule specifically for J-League clubs this season, reflecting their change in awareness of the AFC Champions League.
On the contrary, the Chinese Football Association doesn't care much. It is probably because they have won too many AFC Champions League titles in recent years. The Football Association's bosses are too lazy to do anything. They have suffered Zhang Sheng and the Longteng team, as well as all the Chinese Super League clubs participating in the AFC Champions League.
