Just a few days after the Dragons returned to Jiangcheng after finishing the game, another explosive news broke out in the Chinese Super League. Beijing Guoan and LeTV, who had been in love with each other at the beginning of the season, broke off their feud and broke up completely.
The most direct reason is that Beijing Guoan lost to Henan Jianye in the league and has dropped to tenth place. This is something that the arrogant Beijing Guoan absolutely cannot accept.
Since the start of the summer transfer, Beijing Guoan has been discussing with LeTV the issue of summer transfer purchases, and Longteng left midfielder Yu Bo, who has been targeted by them for a long time, is the target.
However, the transfer fee of 80 million offered by the Dragons was the minimum requirement, and the amount of money spent in negotiating the contract salary with Yu Bo was not a small amount.
The problem is money.
Looking back on the original "marriage" between the two companies, the scene was quite grand. On January 19, Guoan and LeTV announced that they were mutually in-depth strategic partners and signed a sponsorship and equity cooperation agreement. The sponsorship fee was approximately 100 million yuan.
, and received Guoan's chest advertisement and sponsorship, and the team name was changed to "Beijing Guoan LeTV Team"; in addition, Guoan's controlling shareholder CITIC Group sold 50% of its shares to LeTV for 2 billion, to be paid in two installments
.
Among them, the most important thing for LeTV is Guoan’s equity.
LeTV wants to seek a controlling position in Guoan, but the current major shareholder CITIC Limited has no such intention; Guoan does not want to shut out LeTV. If LeTV first invests 1 billion yuan in "sincerity money" for equity investment, it can then discuss equity cooperation plans.
To put it simply, whether it is a controlling stake or a naming, Guoan will not negotiate until it sees the money first; LeTV believes that it is impossible to pay first without any commitment from you.
But not only has the 1 billion yuan in equity purchase funds not arrived, but the 100 million yuan in naming fees has not been paid in full.
According to CITIC, LeTV paid 20 million and 30 million in two installments, for a total of 50 million, which is half of the ‘naming fee’.
Of course, LeTV also has its own statement: "In fact, the naming fee agreed upon by both parties was actually 50 million. At the time, it was claimed to be 100 million, of which the other 50 million was included in the equity payment after the two parties reached a shareholding contract."
There are many opinions on LeTV's delay in paying.
It is said that LeTV thought that Guoan’s selling price was too high. After all, Suning only spent 263 million euros (approximately 1.948 billion yuan) to acquire 68.55% of Inter Milan’s shares, while Wanda’s acquisition of 20% of Atletico Madrid’s shares only cost 45 million euros (approximately 1.948 billion yuan).
333 million yuan). As a Chinese Super League team, Beijing Guoan, even according to LeTV: 50 million sponsorship, 50 million guarantee deposit, 1 billion equity acquisition "earnest money", and 1 billion balance payment, these add up to approximately
It’s 2.1 billion yuan, which is really a lot of water.
Of course, some people say that LeTV is currently having problems with its cash flow. Last year, LeTV’s financial report showed that their losses were as high as more than 700 million. In order to lay out the entire sports industry chain, LeTV spent a huge amount of money to acquire a number of companies and
For broadcast rights, the money paid to Sports Olympic Power alone is as high as 3 billion. This is only the exclusive new media broadcast rights for the Chinese Super League in the 2016 and 2017 seasons.
Guoan and LeTV are still arguing. A company that the public is not very familiar with - Zhonghe Group was exposed by the media. The media confirmed with certainty that Zhonghe will replace LeTV and take over Guoan.
The general public knows little about the Zhonghe Group, but people at Zhang Sheng's level still know a thing or two.
In China, a large group company can start with the word "中". Whether you are familiar with this company or not, you must pay high attention to it. What's more, Zhonghe is a company that specializes in high-end real estate and international sports events.
Operational. Being able to do this business does not mean having funds - of course it doesn't have to be your own money, you can just have the ability to get money from the bank - the necessary connections are the basis for the company to operate.
When Zhang Sheng and Zhang Zhijun mentioned this, Zhang Zhijun obviously had an envious expression: "In the real estate industry, Zhonghe is synonymous with high-end real estate. Take a look at several projects they have developed, such as 40° North Latitude, Wanliu Academy, Diao
.Yu. Taiwan No. 7 Houses are all the top luxury homes in the country, and the land in Wanliu was still the king of land back then. Don’t look at the fact that their company is not listed and has a low reputation. This company is not simple."
Looking at the real estate industry, Zhang Zhijun will of course only talk about real estate, one of Zhonghe's industries. In fact, Zhonghe's operations in the football industry are among the earliest in China.
Since 2009, Zhonghe has been operating the Chinese digital media operations for international sports organizations and clubs such as UEFA and Paris Saint-Germain. It has also helped Wanda acquire Infront Sports, the world's leading sports marketing company, and assisted Hisense to become a player in the European Cup.
’s first Chinese sponsor.
So in the field of football, although they are not well-known, they are real experts. Maybe Guoan has had contact with the Zhonghe Group for a long time, and now they are just following the trend.
On the weekend after the Football Association Cup was played, Guoan's situation was still fermenting. The Longteng team faced another "fierce battle". This time the opponent was Shandong Luneng, Beijing Guoan's close friend this season.
This season, Shandong Luneng took the characteristics of the "Pacers" to the extreme, and gave them extremely poor results. By the middle of the season, the club could no longer tolerate the team's state, and hired a team with the reputation of "not practicing to death".
Bottom line coach Magath, for this reason, the fitness team of the Longteng club - also Magath's previous fitness team also sent out a welcome message on Twitter.
Magath is not a fairy. He is still familiar with the team and has no foreign aid. This game did not play well. The Longteng team, with all the players from the Olympic team returning to the team, completely took the initiative on the court, even though
They played away from home.
In the end, the Longteng team relied on goals from De Paul and Nie Jiang to defeat Shandong Luneng 0:2 in the away game.
Even if he won this game, Zhang Sheng was not relieved, because the last round of byes came, and the opponent was Jiangsu Suning, which ranked third in the league.
At this time, the Chinese Super League points are very tight. Longteng ranked first with 34 points. Guangzhou Evergrande was 3 points behind Longteng and ranked second. The opponent of this game, Jiangsu Suning, ranked second with 29 points.
Third, everyone’s points difference is only between one or two games.
What is particularly disadvantageous to the Longteng team is that after completing three high-quality games against European and South American teams, these players from the Olympic team did not have enough rest time and went to play in the Chinese Super League away from home. The next three days were only three days.
There is a lot of adjustment time to play this game. Not only does everyone have physical problems, many players still have minor injuries.
In the end, in order to ensure the health of the players, Zhang Sheng arranged a mixed lineup of main players and substitutes.
Huang Dawei returned to the main goalkeeper position, but Du Zhenyu, one of the three central defenders, had a slight injury and could not play. Left back Shen Jun replaced him in the starting lineup; Qi Ming returned from the last league game, and his muscles still felt a little tight after the game.
Zhang Sheng, who was caring in every possible way, decisively asked him to rest for one more game, and then Zhang Hao came on as a substitute for Qi Ming.
As for the forwards, Nie Jiang played as the absolute main force in the three warm-up games of the Olympic team. He himself had reached the limit of his physical fitness before the three warm-up games. Rick Link also used him as the absolute main force. Back to
After the Long Teng team, Nie Jiang came on as a substitute in the match against Luneng. In this game, Zhang Sheng still let him sit on the bench as a backup, starting Yan Xiaoyu, who performed very well in the FA Cup.
As for Zou Weijia, his physical fitness has always been relatively good in the team. Although he played in three warm-up games, he was a substitute. In these two league games, he became the absolute key figure on the Longteng team's front line.
In terms of the attack combination selection on the right, Huang He and Xiong Jian also replaced Xiang Tiange, with Tao Wentao starting the game.
It can be said that Zhang Sheng had reservations about this game, and thanks to the Dragon Teng team's very good talent reserve, he did not give up completely.
On the other hand, there is good news for Jiangsu Suning, that is, their main full-back and former Longteng player Xiao Yunfan is back, which is a great boost to Jiangsu Suning's offense.
After the game started, Suning really played very proactively. The new coach Cui Yongzhu they hired during the break was working hard to get revenge from Zhang Sheng.
Compared with the 7-0-3 formation of the previous head coach Petrescu, the offense relied on foreign aid and local players squatted behind. The biggest change Choi Yong-soo brought to the team was to make the offensive tactics more three-dimensional and the offensive methods more sophisticated.
Diversity, higher involvement of offensive players.
From the first minute of the game, Choi Yong-soo never returned to the coach's seat. He always stood on the sidelines and kept giving instructions to the players on the court and shouting loudly.
Under the command of Cui Yongzhu, the confrontation between the two sides was very fierce, especially Ramirez's sweeping ability in the midfield. Yan Xiaoyu, who served as a shadow forward and played like a midfielder, was very controlled. In addition, Suning was in
Wu Xi, one of the top players in the country, is also on the defensive midfielder, which makes the Longteng team's proud midfield attack look extremely weak.
On the contrary, Teixeira, who had been locked on the left by Petrescu before, came to life under Choi Yongsu. He was not only limited to the wing, but switched back and forth between the left and the center.
As a coach who started with the 3-5-2 formation, Choi Yong-soo has a deep understanding of its weaknesses - the combination points between wingers, wide midfielders and wide central defenders.
The atmosphere of Teixeira's activities happened to be at this critical node.
In the 13th minute of the first half, Huang He participated deeply in the attack as a winger, but the attack was successfully intercepted by Jiangsu Suning. Now the right wing of the Longteng team seemed extremely empty, and Cui Yongzhu was transformed into a left wing-back.
After Xiao Yunfan received the pass from the defender, he accelerated and changed direction to get rid of Yan Xiaoyu who was returning to defend. Jiangsu Suning formed a partial numerical advantage on the left.
Seeing Xiong Jian coming to defend, as a former teammate, Xiao Yunfan also knew that this was a candy-like defensive player. He immediately chose to pass the ball to Teixeira, and then sprinted along the wing to the baseline.
.
After Teixeira got the ball, in addition to Roque Gil coming to defend, the right center back Li Ming of the Longteng team also stepped forward to strengthen the defense.
And Teixeira obviously believed in Xiao Yunfan's ability. He did not stop holding the ball on the spot, but quickly knocked the ball to the latter. Then he turned around and inserted into the penalty area, and Xiao Yunfan just passed the ball at this time.
Came over.
In this attack, Jiangsu Suning played a beautiful two-on-three combo, which completely penetrated the Longteng team's defense on the right.
Teixeira received the ball in the penalty area and shot decisively. The ball bypassed Ma Yongli who came to cover the ball and passed through the center of the penalty area, which was completely empty due to the involvement of forward Ruo and midfielder Ramirez.
Then he crossed Huang Dawei's stretched out fingers and got into the net.
Li Xin, who was in charge of the commentary, also shouted: "Oh! Teixeira's goal is so beautiful. This offense is a performance of the personal abilities of Teixeira and Xiao Yunfan."
"Yes. This is a very dragon-like goal." As Li Xin's old partner, Dong Lu took over the words familiarly, "Xiao Yunfan showed his ability to activate foreign aid at the beginning of the season. This time he made a timely comeback.
, gave my old club a severe blow."
"This is also the characteristic of all Longteng players." Li Xin obviously thinks highly of the Longteng team, "Their players generally move well and pass accurately. Although they have some shortcomings, they can compete with high-level foreign players.
When it comes to cooperation, in layman's terms, it means what the foreign aid can do. So whether it's Petrescu who left or Choi Yong-soo who takes over now, they both value Xiao Yunfan very much."
"It can be said that the 100 million Jiangsu Suning spent was well worth the money." Dong Lu also concluded.
After scoring the goal, Jiangsu Suning received loud boos from the fans of the home Longteng team. Obviously, the goal was assisted by Xiao Yunfan, a former Longteng player, which made them particularly unhappy.
After losing the ball, the players on the Longteng team also made changes in their offense. Rock Gill began to participate more in the offense, and the midfield sweep was completely handed over to Zhang Hao.
The effect of Zhang Sheng's adjustment is still very obvious. As a foreign aid, Roque Gill has certain advantages in technology and body. After continuously putting pressure on Jiangsu Suning in the midfield, he once suppressed the extremely high Suning team.
The midfielder had to retreat, and Wu Xi, who had been jumping into the attack many times, was forced to stay in the defensive midfielder position.
Another greater advantage of Rock Gill's premise is that at least the team's offense no longer completely relies on Xiong Jian to make single-line contact with Yan Xiaoyu. Now Yan Xiaoyu is freed to serve as the Longteng team's offense in this game.
As the core of the organization, he has more room to move.
In the 27th minute, it was the triangle attack combination of Yan Xiaoyu, Xiong Jian and Rock Gill, plus the addition of Huang He, that created a wonderful chemical reaction. In the end, Yan Xiaoyu sent a second pass to Zou Weijia.
The latter got a chance to face the goalkeeper alone in the penalty area, but his shot was too straight and was blocked by Gu Chao.
"The Dragons are finally alive now." Li Xin's explanation was obviously biased, "This is how they should perform."
Dong Lu started the process of "creating data" again: "The angle of Zou Weijia's shot just now was only 5.8% cheaper, and Gu Chao didn't even have a chance to save. Then he started to exert 78.5% of his offensive strength.
