101. Basic operations of the national football team
Sure enough, in the last round of the game, Changchun Yatai defeated Shanghai Greenland Shenhua, which was already ranked fifth and unable to enter the top four, 1:0 at home, escaped and landed safely.
After the desperate Hangzhou Greentown was tied with Yanbian Fude, a relegation team killer, they joined hands with Shijiazhuang Yongchang and were relegated to the Chinese League One.
The final round of the Longteng team was against Shandong Luneng, which mainly consists of youth teams.
This season, Luneng only has 31 points, a score that is barely enough to avoid relegation. For this veteran giant, a big purge is just around the corner. Playing an away game with such a large number of young players on the Longteng team is also preparing for next season.
Make preparations.
In the end, the Longteng team, which also mainly relied on rotation and substitute players, was much more mature. With Zou Weijia's goal, Li Ming's header, and De Paul's early brace, the Longteng team won 4:0.
The Chinese Super League ended the 2016 season.
After the game, the Longteng team once again left the Vulcan Cup in Jiangcheng.
This time Chen Jiangfeng came to the stadium again with his brothers who were already trapped in the dormitory. Compared with the previous two times, he finally watched a game with joy.
After the game, the championship float parade was held as usual. Because we are a socialist country with Chinese characteristics, it cannot be held in the city and can only be replaced by a small scale in the stadium.
The team's successful defense of the championship gave the fans a satisfactory explanation. Zhang Sheng is basically satisfied with this season.
In terms of the team's strategy of gradually getting rid of dependence on foreign aid and moving towards the all-China class, it can also win the championship, which shows that the team is on the right path.
Comparing the results of this season with last season, the team scored more goals: 71 this season, only 67 last season; conceded fewer goals: 22 last season, only 17 this season
Of course, one statistic is lagging behind, that is, the points dropped from 74 points last season to 72 points this season.
Considering that such results were achieved after Pato and Ben Arfa left, the team's cost-effectiveness is still very high.
The 2016 Chinese Super League games are all over, and most clubs have begun to make summaries and hold meetings, but the Longteng team still has things to do - in addition to having a make-up match for the Football Association Cup in three days, they also have to wait to participate in the Asian Cup.
The players from the Youth League are back.
In the Asian Youth Championship held in the second half of this month, Zeng Prosperity, Shen Jun and the loaned Longteng players formed the main lineup of the U19 National Youth Team. In fact, according to age groups, the Longteng team now has players like Nie
Jiang, Huang Dawei and Li Ming can all be selected, but some players cannot be selected according to FIFA regulations-from 2005, the same player can only represent one team in the world competition within a year-
- Nie Jiang and Huang Dawei participated in the national team competition and will not be able to participate in the Asian Youth Championship this year. Some of them were not released by Zhang Sheng, and some were simply injured.
So it can be said that none of the absolute main players of this U19 national youth team went.
Even so, this "National Youth Second Team" also defeated Australia 2:1, Tajikistan 2:0, and Uzbekistan 1:0 in the group stage, winning all three games and successfully qualifying first in the group.
.Next, the team overcame the extremely dark black whistle, defeated the host Bahrain team 1:0, and reached the semi-finals.
The semi-finals of the Asian Youth Championship means that the team has entered next year's World Youth Championship, and the National Youth Team, which made persistent efforts, defeated Japan 2:1 in the semi-finals and reached the final of the Asian Youth Championship.
However, in the final, after a 0-0 draw in both regular time and overtime, the National Youth Team lost to Saudi Arabia in a penalty shootout and finished second in the Asian Youth Championship.
After Zeng Prosperity and Shen Jun returned, the Longteng team flew to Shanghai collectively to prepare for the FA Cup make-up match on November 4.
In the first round of the game, the Longteng team won 2:0 at home and basically took the initiative to advance. In addition, Ni Kai and Cao Jinghao have returned from injury. Now the team's injuries are mainly concentrated.
On the right wing-back, the staff at other positions are very neat.
Shanghai Greenland Shenhua, who finished fifth in the league, attaches great importance to this game, because whether they can reach the finals and whether they can get a spot in the AFC Champions League has a huge difference in their year-end results.
But most of the time, football matches still rely on strength.
The Longteng team, which played all its main players, basically controlled the rhythm of the game. If Shenhua goalkeeper Li Shuai hadn't played well and saved many Longteng team's shots in a row, the game on the field would have been rewritten. In the second half, Cha
After Weiss scored with a push shot from the penalty area, the game actually had little meaning.
In the end, after Guarin replaced the Longteng team with three substitutes, he shot back a goal in the final stage of the game, and the game ended at 1:1.
In this way, the Longteng team advanced to the FA Cup finals with a total score of 3:1. The opponent in the finals will be their old rival Guangzhou Evergrande. The dates of the finals will be arranged after the AFC Champions League finals, on November 30 and December respectively.
3rd.
During the month-long preparation period, the Longteng team was relatively relaxed, but Guangzhou Evergrande's task was not easy.
First of all, on November 15th, China will usher in the fifth round of the top 12 in Kunming. The opponent is the Qatar team, their former opponent in the qualifying round. All fans are extremely optimistic about this defeated team.
All I'm looking forward to is a big win.
However, what Zhang Sheng knew was not the actual situation.
After the Longteng team won the league championship, Li Gang immediately called to congratulate him. On the phone, he said that Lippi was now under great pressure. In addition to the continuous victories that brought attention to the team, some leaders began to appear frequently.
While highlighting his own presence, some "opinions" that are not suggestions are confusing: "What about these people, if you take their words seriously, their words are nothing. If you don't take their words seriously,
He really means what he says."
Zhang Sheng understood Li Gang's tongue twister.
The "official-oriented" mentality in China is no longer a matter of one day or two. Li Gang was recruited by Lippi to join the national team coaching staff as the team leader when Lippi took office, and he is the only Chinese on the coaching staff (
(excluding translation), which shows Lippi's trust in him.
Lippi once and clearly expressed his position to the outside world: Li Gang is the "Minister of Foreign Affairs" of our team and the youngest assistant coach of the team.
Now Lippi's pressure is actually Li Gang's own pressure. As a good friend, Zhang Sheng thinks that Li Gang is totally fine with this pressure. Li Gang has a straightforward and confident personality, which is a must-have trait for a head coach.
He is not the kind of person who gives up easily. The training at this time may just be a small episode in his future success.
Li Gang called to complain to Zhang Sheng, more because he trusted Zhang Sheng. In addition, Lippi may have also given Li Gang the privilege of contacting the Longteng team. After all, the old man is a human spirit and knows the relationship between Li Gang and Zhang Sheng, which is convenient.
Communication between the national team and the clubs that have contributed a large number of national team players.
After the match against Shanghai Shenhua, Zhang Sheng led the players to participate in the 2016 China Ping An Chinese Football Association Super League Annual Awards Ceremony, and the Longteng team became the biggest winner of this conference.
Although the top scorer position was taken away by Goulart with 19 goals (Diego Costa finally ended his crazy state in the last 3 league games and only scored one goal, otherwise he would not only have 16 goals), but
Nie Jiang's 18 goals ranked him second. In the top 20 rankings, he and Wu Lei (14 goals) are the only two local players.
In this way, Goulart won the top scorer and Nie Jiang won the local top scorer.
As for the best player, Nie Jiang's votes combined with the team's performance allowed him to win this honor over Goulart. It is truly unprecedented for an 18-year-old player to win this title, and it is probably unprecedented.
or.
Fans watching the live broadcast online and netizens on forums have been saying: "Go to the European League!"
In addition, Nie Jiang also won the award for the most popular local player, Zhang Sheng won the honor of the best coach, Zhang Sheng won this award for the second time, and the best newcomer was won by Xiang Tiange, defeating Liming.
In terms of individual awards, the only one lost was the best goalkeeper who was won by Zengcheng.
In the best lineup, as many as six players from the Longteng team were selected, which proves the overall strength of the team.
The national team is still training, and various transfer news has begun to circulate in the market.
The first is the replacement of the head coach of Shanghai Shenhua, which just lost to the Dragons. After one season and failed to qualify for the AFC Champions League, Manzano's requirements and personality for the introduction of players conflicted with the club and he announced his resignation; as the Shanghai duo
Another team, Shanghai SIPG, seemed to have negotiated with Shenhua and announced a coach replacement the next day. Former Chelsea coach Villas-Boas, known as "Little Mourinho", took over.
Eriksson's pointer.
In terms of foreign aid, Torres and Carlos Tevez, who have been rumored to be involved with the Chinese Super League in recent years, have once again been linked to Chinese Super League clubs. On the basis of these veterans, even top centers like Mandzukic are also rumored to be involved.
Among them, perhaps it was Diego Costa's extremely eye-catching performance that gave people some ideas.
Among domestic players, the relegation of Shijiazhuang Yongchang and Hangzhou Greentown has caused countless teams to target their good players. At the same time, Shandong Luneng, who are undergoing a purge, Changchun Yatai and Liaoning Hong, who always like to sell people, have
Lun also has a bunch of players on the list.
It seems that the news announced by the media a few days ago that this year's Chinese Super League team dividends will be as high as nearly 100 million yuan is correct - many teams are rich again.
Of course, the media's attention to transfers is far less than to the national team.
Among them, some live broadcast platforms, under the constant advice of the Chinese Football Association, secretly broadcast the national team's tactical drills and confrontations online. It can be said that they sent the latest and most direct information to their opponent Qatar. As expected,
, these platforms were criticized by fans all over the Internet, and the Football Association also issued an expulsion order against them.
Amid such turmoil, on November 15, the Chinese team welcomed the Qatar team.
Qatar is extremely uncomfortable with the plateau environment of Kunming. It can be seen from the beginning of the game that they are in poor condition, and the players' running is not as active as in the previous games. In addition, they were in the first round of the game against Iran.
There was a brawl after the match with the Iranian team, and four players were suspended. The overall strength of the Qatari team has dropped sharply.
Only ten minutes into the first half, Wu Lei, who started in place of Ding Huaiyi, got the ball on the left, threw away his opponent, and went straight into the penalty area. Nie Jiang withdrew from the penalty area and then turned around to cooperate with Wu Lei, giving him a beautiful goal.
With a ball-like pass, the latter got a solo opportunity in the penalty area and successfully pushed the shot into the lower left corner, turning the score into 1:0.
"Wu Lei's first goal in the top 12. Beautiful! In the national team, Wu Lei's single-handed attack rate has increased, and he scored a goal on his first single-handed shot." He Wei even joked easily, "I hope Wu Lei
Lei can play better and better."
After scoring the goal, the Chinese team basically didn't pause at all and continued to press and attack wildly throughout the game. Qatar was like a boat in the storm in the sea, completely unable to fight back.
After consecutive shots failed to score, in the 43rd minute of the first half, Qatar's players were completely unable to keep up with their physical fitness. When Qin Minghao picked up the ball in front of the penalty area, no one was defending him. He aimed at the right side of the goal.
The long shot from the lower corner directly penetrated the fingers of the Qatar goalkeeper, and the Chinese team expanded the score to 2:0.
"Coach Lippi's 4-3-3 attack power is really strong." He Wei analyzed, "After coach Lippi took over the Chinese team, he first eliminated everyone's psychological obstacles, and then improved his tactics step by step, so now we are
Discovered a Chinese team that had been turned upside down.”
The Chinese team encountered some setbacks in the second half. Lin Feng, who started the game in place of the injured Xu Mingyu, sprained his foot and had to be replaced by Tao Wentao. This substitution caused the Chinese team's midfield defensive ability to decline.
But the offensive ability has improved.
Only three minutes after Tao Wentao came on, he sent an assist to Nie Jiang, whose header in the penalty area extended the score to 3:0.
This score basically means the end of the game.
After that, Lippi began to make experimental substitutions. New high center Zhang Yuning replaced Wu Lei to test the team's high center playing style. At the left back position, Jiang Zhipeng replaced Xiao Yunfan. Obviously, this was also the weakest position of the Chinese team.
inspection of this location.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Chinese team defeated Qatar 3-0 at home.
After this round of games, the top 12 matches are halfway through. Several other games also ended at the same time. Syria drew with Iran 0:0 at home, and South Korea defeated Uzbekistan 2:1 at home. Iran won 11
Points occupy the top spot in the group. South Korea and China both have 10 points, and the goal difference is also 4. However, South Korea ranks ahead of the Chinese team because the total goals (8 goals) are 1 more than the Chinese team.
It can be said that the Chinese team clings to the score with the top two and is ready to overtake at any time.
After this game, no one was surprised that the Chinese team’s score news dropped directly to the top of the hot search list, because this has become a basic operation.
The Chinese team achieved good results, but Zhang Sheng got bad news in the office now, that is, he has another player to leave.
