The new head coach was officially announced the day after the former head coach resigned. You can imagine how impatient the Football Association was.
Compared with real history, the Football Association has done a very good job in keeping secrets this time. Except for people in the inner circle, no one has heard about Lippi's appointment process. What are the unknown secrets in the contract?
They used their imaginations one after another and almost got into science.
However, everyone believes that compared to Perrin, who was called "the man who can't survive the winter" by the media in France - meaning that he can't coach the team for a long time, this time the winter in China has not yet arrived, and he has already left.
--For an ordinary-level head coach, the salary of Lippi's team must be astronomical.
But no one questioned the ability of Lippi's team. After all, whether it is Lippi's coaching experience in Europe or his coaching performance in China, there is no doubt that this famous coach has the ability and qualifications to suppress
The chaotic Chinese team brought the team back on track.
Zhang Sheng is happy to see the success of this midfield substitution of the head coach, and Zhang Sheng is aware of Lippi's level.
The confirmation of the national team's head coach also relieved Zhang Sheng's worries during this period, and he could finally focus on the club wholeheartedly.
Since the last call for elite coaches, a wave of five consecutive victories in the league and FA Cup, plus two draws in the AFC Champions League, Zhang Sheng has scored another 210 points. Counting the remaining points before, the total score is as high as 260
After the break, Zhang Sheng had another chance to summon.
Since the system provided the opportunity to call coaches, Zhang Sheng finally understood how lacking there are excellent grassroots coaches.
In recent years, Longteng Group has relied on the influence of Longteng Club to expand on a large scale across the country, and football has become the group's business card in various cities. The group has slowly developed from football real estate at the beginning into football education.
, cutting into the real estate-education-sports business model of the education industry.
In this business model, Longteng Group will cooperate with schools in the school district near the commercial properties it develops to provide the highest level of football youth training in the country. If there are no high-quality schools, Longteng Group will even acquire local schools to improve teaching standards.
, generally at this time, the local government will provide certain support, deploy some outstanding teachers (Longteng Group will provide considerable bonuses as settlement expenses), adjust some school districts to supplement enough students, etc.
The real estate market in 2016 gave Longteng Group a great opportunity to expand. From first-tier cities to third- and fourth-tier cities, the wave of benefits from destocking and monetization of shed renovations allowed Longteng Group to invest in a large number of projects. In order to
In an effort to fight against Biguiyuan, a huge competitor that has moved its market to third- and fourth-tier cities, Longteng Group also chose to develop jointly with influential local developers.
In cooperation with friendly businessmen, Longteng Group provides the group's brand name and football school resources, and acquires part of the shares in a certain project.
Regardless of the above-mentioned business model, Longteng Group has a huge demand for excellent football coaches, and there are not so many coaching reserves in the market for Longteng Club to collect. If everyone has to dig up, the investment will be too much.
Too huge.
Zhang Zhijun discussed coach training with Zhang Sheng many times, and the final plan was: use points to promote the general situation, use the old to promote the new, use familiarity to promote students, and use excellence to promote the new.
The specific plan is to recruit a large number of outstanding master's and undergraduate graduates from Beijing Sports, Shanghai Sports and Jiangxi Sports, and at the same time let the experienced and outstanding youth training coaches trained by Longteng Football School in recent years to lead them.
Driven by this, the salary levels of sports college students with low employment rates, poor working conditions, and low standards in recent years have even been driven up. At the same time, it can be regarded as solving a large part of the employment problems. And the more this happens, the more government benefits Longteng Group obtains
The greater the support.
Zhang Sheng's 200 points this time are the two youth training coaches he summoned, and he plans to invest these two coaches in the football school project attached to the real estate jointly developed by Longteng Group and Langji Real Estate in Chengdu.
After summoning the two coaches, Zhang Sheng turned his attention to the 2016 India U-16 Asian Minor Championship, which started on September 15, with many Longteng youth training players participating.
What is different from history is that the U16 Chinese team at that time was eliminated by South Korea in the qualifiers in 2015. This time, the Chinese team successfully qualified, turning the South Korean team into a lucky one who qualified second in the group with the best results.
team, otherwise South Korea will even be eliminated.
In the Asian Youth Championship, China, Malaysia, Oman, and Iraq were divided into a group, and they were awarded the status of the group's seed players.
The reason why Zhang Sheng pays special attention to this U16 echelon is because the head coach of the U16 national team has also changed this time. Li Ming, who coached before, is now the Chinese coach, and Deroso, who is in charge of youth training in Lippi's team, has become the Chinese coach.
They have a head coach, and of course, above them, there is also a youth training director named Rick Link, so the structure is not uncomplicated.
This team is mainly in the 99 age group and includes six players from the Longteng team: Wang Xing, Gong Yuzhe, Lu Yangyang, Ahemati Maimaiti, Chen Yinuo, Gao Yiyan, Zhang Shengxin
The goalkeeper Song Dongdong who is most concerned about is originally of suitable age, but unfortunately he is still in the recovery and adjustment period after undergoing major surgery.
After Deroso took over the team, he did not change Li Ming's tactics first, but maintained the status quo. The only thing he did was to highlight Wang Xing. As a member of the Olympic team, he won the bronze medal across age groups and played in the Chinese Super League.
, a player who has played in the AFC Champions League, Wang Xing has enough experience, and his height is really outstanding in this age group, and he also has passable foot skills.
The Asian Football Confederation, the organizing committee of the event, put Wang Xing at the top of the promotion of this event and focused on introducing his achievements.
Only Zhang Sheng knows that Wang Xing has the lowest potential among the players selected for the Longteng team this time. His only advantage is that he debuted early and played many national-level games.
In the first round of the national youth team match against Malaysia, Wang Xing did not disappoint everyone. With his height of 1.93 meters, he became a nightmare for Malaysian defenders. Two beautiful headers in the first half basically declared the end of the game.
, when he came off the field after completing his hat trick, the game had only played seventy-five minutes, and the score of the Chinese team was already 4:0.
When the game ended, the score of 4:0 proved that the new generation of young players in the Chinese team had grown up again.
With a relaxed mood, Zhang Sheng ushered in the weekend's home Chinese Super League match against Liaoning Hongyun.
The Chinese Super League has reached the 24th round, and the championship, AFC qualification and relegation have reached a fierce stage. The Longteng team leads the second place Guangzhou Evergrande by 3 points with one game less. With 6 rounds left in the league
, the situation is not clear.
In the AFC Champions League qualifying area, Evergrande and Suning have a big score gap with the Shanghai duo behind them. The two teams will compete for an AFC Champions League spot.
Further down is the huge relegation zone, starting from Yanbian Fude with 30 points, to the last Shijiazhuang Yongchang with 18 points. There are still 6 rounds of games. Everything is still difficult to say. For example, Zhejiang Greentown, who was sitting back and relax before
, lost three consecutive rounds, and suddenly reached the third-to-last position. The situation is very dangerous.
The Longteng team's opponent in this game, Liaoning Hongyun, is in an awkward position. With 27 points, they can win two more games without worrying about relegation. If they continue to lose, relegation is not impossible, so they have a clear idea of how to choose.
It was the internal consensus reached by Liaoning Hongyun before the game that Liaoning Hongyun would most likely lose against the Longteng team in the away game. Therefore, they did not make any reservations on the court and simply chose a more open defensive counterattack instead of blindly defending, hoping that they could
Steal one.
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Tao Wentao, who had had a good rest, became the protagonist in this game. He made several operations in the attacking midfielder position. First, he assisted Chavez to score a goal, and then he scored in front of the penalty area.
He used long-range shots to expand the score to 2:0. After the second half, Zou Weijia, who replaced Chavez, also received the cake fed to Tao Wentao's mouth and easily pushed the shot to score, setting the score at 3:0.
This is another player who broke out at the club after returning from the national team.
According to outside media: "This is a fancy show for the new national team coach Lippi: Look at me, look at me, look here."
The Longteng team won, and the chasing Guangzhou Evergrande did not slow down. In the key battle away from home to challenge Jiangsu Suning, the third-placed player in the league, although the defense conceded two goals, Diego Costa's brace added to Gao Lin's success.
The magic ball changed the fate of losing 0:2 in history. It can only be said that Diego Costa’s ability is that most teams in the Super League really have nothing to do with him.
The title of media reports focusing on Guangzhou Evergrande is: Chinese Super League alien Diego Costa.
After this game, the Longteng team, which was supposed to play the second round of the FA Cup, arranged a make-up match. The other teams were still resting. They were going to Zhengzhou to challenge Henan Jianye, and if you include the away game against Shanghai last weekend.
Shanghai SIPG, it can be said that the Longteng team will play five consecutive games in two weeks, including the AFC Champions League quarter-finals, and an away game in a high-intensity game such as fourth place in the league.
It can be said that the entire Longteng team is tortured by the schedule.
Moreover, in the first round of the confrontation with Henan Jianye, it was not easy for the Longteng team to win. Jia's guidance position was very low, relying on the dark, hard, and fast foreign forwards to charge in front, and the back line also defended frontally.
A very capable foreign central defender, the Longteng team did not score two goals until the last moment of the game to win.
When it came time for the Longteng team to play two games on Friday, the game against Henan Jianye became even more difficult.
Considering that the team's physical fitness is extremely weak, Zhang Sheng once again made a major rotation of the starting lineup.
On the back line, from the national team to the club, Ma Yongli, who ran a lot in consecutive games, couldn't bear it anymore. Du Zhenyu, who had rested for a round, came on to replace him, and the two wing-backs Huang He on the right replaced Xiang Tiange in the starting lineup.
, while Ni Kai on the left could only grit his teeth and persist; Zhang Hao and Xiong Jian came on in the midfield to let Rock Gill and Qi Ming rest; Zou Weijia started at the front, and Chavez sat on the bench.
This is the second time this season that the Longteng team has used an all-Chinese starting lineup to play in the league.
Zhang Sheng thought that Jia's study guide would be more open-minded when he met his all-China class, but he was wrong.
Coach Jia, who has always been cautious, retreated and played defensive counterattack even when facing the all-China Longteng team, as if it was completely acceptable to score a point at his home court.
Most of the players played by the Longteng team this time are substitutes. In order to fight for the main position in the future, they work extremely hard. In many cases, they are just a little faster than their opponents for the half-goal.
In ten minutes, the Longteng team got three free kicks in the frontcourt.
Henan Jianye did not have no chance. Their foreign forwards were very fast. In the 23rd minute of the first half, the counterattack even caused Huang He, who had assisted a little higher, to receive a yellow card when he returned to defense. This made the Longteng team
I have to devote some of my energy to defense.
When the first half passed, Henan Jianye held on to the goal steadily.
In the second half, the Longteng team, which had shot up to 17 times like crazy, finally scored a goal. This goal was Ni Kai's shot that hit the Jianye defensive player on the sideline and flew into the goal by mistake.
Of course, more shots lead to more goals, which is inevitable in terms of probability.
After the goal, the Longteng team played with peace of mind in passing and controlling, while Henan Jianye came out in full force and attacked the Longteng team wildly. When the final score was fixed at 0:1, the Longteng team was considered to be at Jianye's home court.
Zhang Sheng felt that it was worth the loss and humiliation to survive the three points.
After the game, Zhang Sheng even said frankly that he had good luck today, while Director Jia looked grim and unhappy.
The Longteng team, which scored three points, was able to breathe a sigh of relief after this game, because not only did Nie Jiang return from injury after two weeks of training, but several players who participated in the U19 International Invitational Tournament have been back at the club for almost a week.
Even if they are all substitute players, their physical fitness is enough to make up for the vacancies in the current team.
At this time, Zhang Sheng went to watch the results of the Asian Minor Championship and did not regret that he let these players participate in the game even though the bench was almost full. Moreover, the U16 Chinese team defeated the Oman team 2:1 and tied with the Iraqi team 0:0.
, through the advantage of goal difference, beat Iraq to qualify first in the group. Wang Xing once again contributed a goal, expanding his number of goals in the competition to 4. The team will compete in the quarter-finals on September 26.
Played against North Korea in the finals.
Zhang Sheng was happy from the bottom of his heart to see the players he trained shining in the international arena again.
Zhang Sheng paid enough attention to the upcoming collision with Shanghai SIPG. Even now SIPG's Aoi and Konka are injured and cannot play. Hulk, who has returned from injury, let Zhang Sheng
You can't take it lightly, because the single-point explosive ability of this green giant on the court is really huge.
When a reporter asked before the game how the Longteng team should deal with the Brazilian star, Zhang Sheng acted neither humble nor arrogant: "He is a superstar and has the ability to score goals anywhere on the field, but football is not played by one person.
Yes, Hulk cannot decide the game alone, the important thing is the team."
Hulk was very modest: "It's a pity that I got injured when I first came to the team. I'm not in the best condition yet, but I will try my best to help the team get three points."
Eriksen, the head coach of SIPG, is also very good at doing things. He first praised the strength of the Longteng team, and then began to give the team medicine: "Unlike the Longteng team, our goal is to win the AFC Champions League next season.
, the game is difficult, but we will try our best."
