On August 11, after receiving the medals, the Chinese Olympic team did not stop in Brazil because the players of the team had to rush back to participate in their respective leagues.
Among the five players playing in Europe, Ding Huaiyi's Austrian League One kicked off as early as July 23, which means he will miss at least four league games; Xu Mingyu's Portuguese League also started in August.
Starting on the 7th, he has already played two rounds. Now that he has rushed back, he still needs to rest before he can play the fourth round. As for the Bundesliga where Li Yun and Qin Minghao are playing, it will also start on August 27th. The Olympic Games have consumed
They have a lot of physical fitness, so they will definitely have a few days of rest; the last one to start is Zhang Linpeng's Serie C B. He will have to wait until October to start, so he has enough rest time.
The large number of Longteng players in the Olympic team are pitiful. They need to continue to work. Once they return to China, they will probably not even get over the jet lag. They will have to participate in the league on August 14th. By then, they will only be allowed to play in the Olympics.
The few players stepped up.
Although everyone was physically tired, everyone felt that it was worth it, because the Olympic team returned to China and was highly sought after by the entire society. Countless media submitted interview requests, including the top official media such as CCTV.
Whether they were scoring goals or not, or playing but not playing, the players suddenly seemed to have become heroes, and commercial advertising contracts that had been isolated from Chinese football players for a long time also came one after another.
Fans on the Internet are also making endless jokes. For example, someone asked: "Do you know who is most jealous of our bronze medal?"
When one of the people below replied that a football player in the Olympics who is not valued is still a bronze medal, what is there to be envious of? The person who asked the question announced the answer: "Of course it is Sun Qiu Wang. With this bronze medal, he will
He is exempted from military service. When he saw the Korean team being eliminated, the way he cried was even sadder than Dou E."
Countless people below replied: "Old man, you are right, I am speechless."
In fact, Zhang Sheng knew that the most depressed person was Peilan, the head coach of the Chinese national team.
For the Olympics, in this rare offseason of the Chinese Super League, the last training period before the top 12 matches of the national team, most of the absolute main players of the national team went to Brazil. The national team that stayed in the country for training can only be called
As the national second team, I don’t know what significance this training will have for the national team’s top 12 competition a month later. Perhaps the biggest role is to see if we can find players from the second team who can be substitutes.
Perhaps this is the reason why the Chinese Football Association eliminated a bunch of well-known coaches and chose Perrin when it was selecting the head coach of the national team - he was "obedient".
During the two weeks of the league break, Zhang Sheng had a rare holiday. Although he usually spent half of his time in Jiangcheng, he spent most of his time in the club and did not spend more time with his son.
, my son, who is just over three years old, almost doesn’t recognize himself anymore.
Perhaps it was to compensate for Zhang Sheng's lack of talent in playing football. During these few days of playing with his son, Zhang Sheng found that he had a really good sense of the ball. Although the three-year-old kid often stumbled when walking, the one at home
The little football that was given to him as a toy was played with by him.
Zhang Sheng once tried to use the system to observe his son's football talent, but he got a lot of question marks. Maybe the child was too young and the system couldn't tell the difference.
"Maybe our son will be a big star in the future." Zhang Sheng joked to his wife, "Maybe let him join the echelon of the Longteng team in the future."
"As long as he wants to play, let him play." His wife Ye Ting is very open-minded, "If the child has his own interests, let him try it on his own."
Hearing Ye Ting's words, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but sigh. If you have a financial foundation, you will have everything. If you let an ordinary family choose their child's future development, studying will definitely be the first, not to mention that learning football is not cheap now.
Ah, even if Zhang Sheng argued with the people on the board of directors in order to lower the threshold for contact with professional football, it would only allow the football school to get more special free places.
Football has been booming in the past two years, and a large number of football schools have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. As for Longteng Club, Shandong Luneng Club, and Guangzhou Evergrande Club, they either have more good players or are more famous schools.
Positions are hard to come by, so tuition fees are inevitably going to rise.
Of course, in business, the market determines the price, and the price of a good football school should be high. However, just like domestic housing prices, the price of a good football school is also very high.
The price of Luneng and Evergrande football schools has exceeded 50,000 yuan this year. The price of Longteng Football Club, which produces the most youth training talents, is as high as 60,000 yuan. In 2016, the per capita disposable income of urban residents nationwide was 33,616 yuan, not to mention rural ones.
Family.
At such a price, it is impossible to make football "people-friendly".
Zhang Sheng also knows very well that under the general trend of the environment, he cannot stop him no matter what. If he insists on doing so, he will really be using his arms as a trap to provide a few more free places for those talented children.
Getting more good coaches so that children who love football can get a better education is the best that I can do.
During this offseason, Zhang Sheng exchanged the 200 points he had accumulated for an elite-level youth training coach. This youth training coach of Chinese descent was recruited from the Americas by the human resources department and was only in his thirties.
Although he grew up in Brazil, he recognized Chinese culture and had enough love for football. He was extremely optimistic about the vast market prospects of domestic football in China. The human resources department did not put much effort into negotiating with him.
He also quickly flew to Jiangcheng and brought his entire family to China to join the Longteng Football School team.
After the players of the National Olympic team returned to China, Zhang Sheng also rushed to Shanghai with his coaching staff, because on August 14, the Longteng team will challenge Shanghai Shenhua here. This will be the first game for the National Olympic team players after returning to China.
stand.
Considering that they had only returned to China for two days, Zhang Sheng still arranged a mixed lineup of main players and substitutes this time. Chavez and Lu Zhihui, two players who had been recovering from injuries for a long time, were also sent on the field. The Longteng team finally played again
Has three foreign aids.
On the defense line, Lu Zhihui led Liming to play as a double central defender, with Shen Jun and Xiang Tiange on both sides. Zhang Hao and Rock Gill in the midfield were strong enough. De Paul, Tao Wentao and Xiong Jian's midfield and frontcourt were balanced in offense and defense.
With Chavez at center, even with a rotating lineup, the overall strength of the Longteng team is strong enough.
However, Shanghai Shenhua is in surprisingly good shape this season. Even though Demba Ba suffered a horrific and unspeakable injury, they still relied on weak domestic players and several elderly foreign players to achieve good results.
, so far they are actually ranked fourth in the league, overtaking their city rival Shanghai SIPG, which invested several times as much as they did this year, and retain the qualifications to compete in the AFC Champions League.
In several strong dialogues in the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Shenhua also rarely stood at the end this season. They defeated Guangzhou Evergrande, Jiangsu Suning and Shanghai SIPG at home, and drew with Longteng away from home, which finally ended the relationship between these two teams.
The losing streak in a team's history.
With high morale, they also planned to break the Fenglongteng team's winless record in this game.
From the first minute of the game, Shenhua took advantage of their home court to launch an attack on the Longteng team, and for a time they actually suppressed the powerful Longteng team.
However, the impact of Demba Ba's absence is slowly showing up. Shenhua's offense is fierce, but it is difficult to stand when they hit the penalty area. They tried to push Moreno into the penalty area, but their control in the midfield was greatly reduced.
, had to withdraw Moreno back again.
As the game progressed, Shenhua's domestic players' overall poor quality began to hold them back more and more, especially players like Lu Zheng, Xiong Fei, and Tao Jin who were weak even in the Chinese Super League.
Under the pressure of the Longteng team, frequent mistakes were made, and Shenhua's offense and defense gradually became the work of foreign players alone.
In the 35th minute of the first half, the Longteng team almost scored a goal. Tao Wentao broke through Cao Yunding and Wang Yun in the midfield, forcing Guarin to come over to help defend. As a result, Tao Wentao, Xiong Jian, and Chawei
Si played a beautiful three-on-two match, and finally Xiong Jian broke into the penalty area to face Li Shuai's shot alone, but the latter miraculously saved it.
Shenhua has dodged a disaster.
At the end of the first half, Shenhua held on to the game in a panic.
In the second half, Manzano replaced Sun Yu, the injured former Longteng player, and replaced Wang Yun. Shenhua's defense was somewhat stabilized.
Unfortunately, in the 13th minute of the second half, Shenhua's defense gave a big gift. Under De Paul's frontcourt pressure, the gold rush passed back to Li Shuai, but the kick was weak, and De Paul accelerated the ball.
After grabbing it, facing Li Shuai's attack, De Paul succeeded in pushing the shot into the far corner, and the score became 0:1.
It can be said that under the heavy pressure of the Longteng team's frontcourt, such a mistake was too fatal.
The game was about to start. Xiang Tiange, Xiong Jian and Tao Wentao's right wing overwhelmed Shenhua's main offensive corridor - Bai Jiajun and Cao Yunding's left wing. Shenhua could only rely on Martin.
Si's individual combat in the frontcourt makes offensive articles.
And Martins is the kind of player who needs someone to feed him the ball. He can neither play a fulcrum role nor have an excellent ability to pass the ball on the spot. He is completely trapped in the defensive quagmire of the Dragons' backcourt players.
Manzano finally reacted at this time and replaced Lu Zheng with Wen Kai. He simply asked Martins to go to the wing and put a center forward in the frontcourt.
After Wenkai came on the field, Shenhua finally had a player in the frontcourt who could hold the ball with his back, and the offense gradually improved.
Unfortunately, they were bent on scoring goals and soon suffered another blow. At the 27th minute of the second half, the Longteng team stole the ball in the backcourt. Shen Jun's accuracy in long passes came into play. He hit a goal of nearly 40 meters.
The foot shift directly hit the back of Shenhua's defense. Chavez successfully took the ball in response to offside and turned it into a one-on-one shot.
This one-on-one goal soon turned into a goal. Chavez passed the attacking Li Shuai and then scored the ball into the goal. The Longteng team took a 0:2 away lead.
Manzano couldn't bear it anymore and replaced Tao Jin, who had failed in the offside call and had problems defending Chavez, with Bi Jinhao. He obviously didn't want to attack.
In the end, the Longteng team easily defeated Shanghai Shenhua 0:2 in the away game, which gave the Longteng team a good start after the offseason.
Interestingly, after this game, the Longteng team, which returned to Jiangcheng, will play another game with Shanghai Shenhua, because the first leg of the FA Cup semi-finals is still between the two teams in midweek.
Manzano said harshly after the game: "Although the team has many injuries now, we will not give up. The FA Cup is what we are determined to win."
Compared to the Dragons' modest score of 2:0, Guangzhou Evergrande released a terrifying offensive power. The new foreign aid Diego Costa scored a hat trick in his first official game. He was alone in the frontcourt.
He defeated the entire defense line of Shijiazhuang Yongchang. In addition, he also frequently played for his teammates, forcing Yongchang to receive a red card in the first half. His personal ability is evident.
The outside world agrees that although Guangzhou Evergrande is currently 3 points behind the Longteng team, which has one game less, with seven rounds left in the league, Evergrande has a chance to catch up.
As soon as he returned to Jiangcheng, even though there was still a Football Association Cup match to be played in three days, Zhang Sheng still let all the players who had participated in the Olympic Games take a day off. Especially for the players who had already settled in Jiangcheng, they could play close to home.
After a month, I returned home and had a good sleep in my own bed. The recovery effect was better than any other means.
After recuperating their strength, the Longteng team faced the challenge of Shanghai Shenhua.
This time Manzano made a very bold choice, which was to put Wenkai at the center, while Martins was placed on the wing, willing to use local players on the central axis instead of forcing him to play.
Foreign aid can be considered a good change.
With Wenkai playing center, Shenhua's offense has become more three-dimensional. They are determined to play defensive counterattack, and use Wenkai as a transfer station in the frontcourt. Cao Yunding, Martins and Moreno make fuss around him.
Guarin is responsible for linking up and sweeping the midfield. If the offense fails, the defense will not be left empty due to the heavy pressure of players. Several of the team's strongest players can also effectively suppress the Longteng team's defense.
, it can be said to be very stable.
I have to say that coach Manzano is very good at reading ingredients and cooking.
The current Longteng team is very similar to the Guangzhou Evergrande team in the 2013 and 2014 seasons in history. In the league, most Chinese Super League teams either choose to defend with iron barrels, or they simply lie down and take the hammer, thinking that they are qualified.
The teams that played against the Long Teng team, except for Guangzhou Evergrande, had a good reputation on the scene, but losing was a high probability event.
There are very few players like Manzano who choose a layered defense and rely on a few good players to form a good offensive attack.
For example, in the 17th minute of the first half, Guarin simply made a transition in the midfield and handed the ball to Moreno. The latter used his elusive left foot to pass the ball to the left in a pointing way.
Cao Yunding passed the ball, and Tao Wentao couldn't keep up with Tao Wentao's acceleration after receiving the ball. Then Cao Yunding's shot from the penalty area missed the goal post and flew out of the baseline.
