The Longteng team is preparing to count players for the new season. The Chinese team is also doing this at this time, but they are embarrassed now because there is no one in the team now.
Evergrande and Longteng have a lot fewer players on this training roster. So Jiangsu Suning and Shanghai SIPG, the two clubs that entered the AFC Champions League last season, naturally became the teams with the most players transferred. Wait until the first game
After the game in Iceland, the two clubs with AFC Champions League duties began to exert their efforts - they recalled most of the selected players on the grounds that they needed to prepare for the AFC Champions League. It was not easy for the national team to embarrass the clubs at this time. After all,
If the opponent is really eliminated from the AFC Champions League qualifying round, the Football Association really cannot afford to take the blame.
The consequence of these players being recalled is that the national team now only has 18 players, which means that it is just enough to make up a big roster and there is no room for selection. This really corresponds to the joke on the Internet: The Chinese team just tries to select a few players.
Only those who can play football can form the national team. It is really impossible to select people who can't play to form the national team. There is no choice.
With the players so uneven, the Chinese team actually performed surprisingly well under Lippi's guidance.
As the core of the midfield, Yan Xiaoyu dazzled all the fans. His ball-taking, organization, and dispatching in the attacking midfielder position vaguely have the shadow of Conca, and his height of 1.72 meters does not look strong, and he is not strong in confrontation.
But his ability is outstanding. This is another Longteng player who has excelled in the national team.
In the second half, Yan Xiaoyu was strictly monitored by the Croatian team, and the Chinese team's offense became difficult. The Croatian team also took this opportunity to score a goal. The lagging Chinese team continued to mobilize its troops and won the goal before the end of the game.
A chance for a free kick in the frontcourt. Yan Xiaoyu's free kick was prepared and found club teammate Zou Weijia who was ambushing in the penalty area. The latter's header equalized the score. This was the first goal scored by the Chinese team in the China Cup.
, it was the players of the Longteng team who performed brilliantly.
After the 90-minute game, the Chinese team and Croatia tied 1:1. In the subsequent penalty shootout, Zhou Wei, already a Kaisa player, was extremely excited. He saved two Croatian penalty kicks in a row.
, helped the Chinese team defeat Croatia in a penalty shootout and win third place in the China Cup.
The comment after the game was: Former and current Dragons players saved China’s “second” team.
Zhang Sheng was very happy to see his players performing well in the national team, even if it was only the second team. After all, they were the players he trained. But then Zhang Sheng was not happy because the two players who performed well
It was also noticed by people outside.
Shanghai Shenhua is the one who is interested in Zou Weijia. Compared with the history that they qualified for the AFC Champions League this season, Shanghai Shenhua ranked fifth in the league last season and completely missed the opportunity to participate in the AFC Champions League.
Moreover, Shenhua has been criticized so far during the transfer period. If Mao Jianqing can still be said to be a veteran returning home, then who will Sun Shilin, Li Peng, and Zhu Jianrong be next? Especially the latter two, one team was relegated from the Chinese League One to the Chinese League Two.
The players on the team, and they are all 25.6, basically have no potential to tap. Tevez, who was introduced in the end, is quite famous. The problem is that he is 33 years old, plus 33-year-old Martins, and then there are 31-year-old Guarin and
Moreno. According to Shenhua fans, the Football Association is implementing a U23 policy and we are adjusting to a U35 policy.
In order to appease the fans' grievances, equip qualified successors for the elderly risk combination, and also satisfy the Football Association's u23 policy, it is very worthwhile to introduce Zou Weijia, a young player born in 1996.
Zou Weijia played 19 games in the Chinese Super League for Longteng last season and scored 7 goals. He played 7 games in the AFC Champions League and scored 2 goals. He also played 5 games in the Football Association Cup and scored 1 goal. Such data is very important for a player.
For a 20-year-old young center, he definitely has top-notch statistics. Although he cannot compare with a highly anticipated talent like Nie Jiang, he is definitely a killer in the current Chinese Super League team.
The Longteng trio who had previously transferred to Shanghai Shenhua were obviously very optimistic about this junior. When the club consulted them about their situation, including Wen Kai, who had a competitive relationship with Zou Weijia, they all had good words for him. In the end,
Shenhua made up their mind and started snapping up this future star on the front line.
Different from Shanghai Shenhua, another Shanghai team, Shanghai SIPG, is interested in Yan Xiaoyu. For this player known as the "Little Kongka", he once had Kongka, but later lost Kongka due to injury.
Shanghai SIPG knows how important a player like this is to the club.
The arrival of Oscar and Akhmedov has given SIPG good candidates for the attacking midfielder and defensive midfielder positions, but the 31 New Deal and the previous injury of Konka have left SIPG's memory fresh.
It is so important to find a reliable, high-level rotation player.
Last season, the team played in three tiers of the AFC Champions League, the League, and the FA Cup, and was eliminated in three tiers, which made SIPG realize the weakness of its bench. Yan Xiaoyu, who was born in 1996, can completely replace Akhmedov in the league.
His role, while complying with the Football Association's new policies, ensures the team's competitiveness in the Chinese Super League, which is indeed killing three birds with one stone.
Of course, they also know as well as Shanghai Shenhua that such players are not cheap.
Before the Longteng team left for winter training in Hainan, the two Shanghai teams began to have frequent contact with the Longteng club.
The club's attitude towards these two players is clear. Zou Weijia can leave, but Yan Xiaoyu must have a transfer fee that matches his worth. Especially Zhang Sheng knows that this player's potential value is as high as 83. This is a player who can
Any Chinese Super League team can play absolute main players.
On January 14, Zou Weijia's national team goal made Shanghai Shenhua give up bargaining. The high center forward of the Longteng team was transferred to Shanghai Shenhua for 100 million. After joining Shenhua, Zou Weijia's annual salary of 2.8 million instantly increased.
It rose to four million.
At the same time, after hesitating for a long time, Shanghai SIPG resigned. Yan Xiaoyu’s performance in the national team proved that this player is also very competitive even at the international level. It is a huge opportunity for the Dragons to let him go.
, if you can pay for it, you will earn it. It is not just Shanghai SIPG that is eyeing this player. Beijing Zhonghe Guoan and Jiangsu Suning, who are also rich, and the other two local giants Xia Fortune and Tianjin Quanjian, who lacks these stinkers?
money.
On January 15, SIPG acquired this midfielder and commanding tower type player for 150 million. The Longteng team received a large amount of funds, and the player's personal treatment also exploded, from 2.5 million to 2.5 million.
His annual salary suddenly rose to 6 million, more than doubled.
In addition to the financial improvement of the Longteng Club with these two transfers, the Longteng Group has also made a good start in the Shanghai stock market. In the transactions with Greenland and SIPG, two large real estate developers in the Shanghai stock market, the Longteng Group began to
Preliminarily explore the intention to jointly develop real estate with them in Shanghai, especially real estate with sports and football characteristics.
Player transfers have become a stepping stone for commercial cooperation between the two parties.
Two consecutive blockbuster transfers once again caused waves in the 2017 Chinese Super League transfer market. Fans even discovered a terrifying fact. This time, six Longteng players recruited by the national team were transferred.
Three, three players all went through the transfer procedures directly after leaving the national team.
"Yan Xiaoyu, Xiong Jian and Zou Weijia left, and Zhang Hao, Huang He and Ni Kai returned to the Longteng team as if they were running for their lives. If you were any slower, you might be blamed. This national team training camp is poisonous to the Longteng team.
"
"That's right. So far, the Soaring Dragons have not sold their captain, not even their vice-captain. They were much more restrained in the past years."
The fans' dialogue made the Longteng team, a famous black shop in the Chinese Super League, even darker.
Amid the outside discussion on how much the Longteng team can earn from this transfer, Zhang Sheng made a request to the club that the team's winter window transfers should end. The team now has a good player in most positions.
Being a substitute basically meets the player requirements for the new season. After more than a week of adjustments, the team's physical training for the new season is officially on track.
The Longteng team's winter training is divided into two stages. From January 5th to January 25th, the Longteng team will conduct physical devil training in Hainan to reserve physical fitness for the third-line battle in the new season; then there will be a five-day Spring Festival holiday.
The team once again gathered and flew to the Portuguese national base for the second phase of training. From January 31st to February 15th, the Longteng team will play intensive warm-up matches, and their opponents will be mainly European Europa League teams.
, to verify the tactics of the new season.
The fitness team of the Longteng team has changed a lot this season. Local fitness coach Huang Long began to separate from the two-person team of Leutard and Zettel Maisl, and officially led a small team responsible for the reserve team and some substitute players.
physical training.
According to the Chinese, Huang Long has left his own profession.
The current coaching staff of the Longteng team is very large. Unlike many clubs where the head coach leads a coaching team to be responsible for all the team's games and trainings, the Longteng team has one or two substitutes for each main coach position.
, and at the same time, an unknown number of interns will study with them.
Even for interns, Longteng Club's requirements are very strict.
For example, when Huang Long was still in the internship stage, in addition to studying with two foreign masters, he also had to spend a lot of time to continue his studies.
As soon as he entered the Longteng Club, he picked up the English he learned in college, plus the German he had to communicate with the two masters. The study of these two languages squeezed out all his spare time.
After spending more than half a year to be able to communicate normally with the two teachers in German, he began to prepare for the certificate exam.
NSCA is the abbreviation of the American Strength and Conditioning Association, and CSCS is the certificate of physical training experts issued by this association. Basically, those who hold this certificate serve professional athletes.
The study of this subject requires the purchase of a large amount of English materials. When taking the exam, although both Chinese and English can be chosen, the quality of the English-Chinese translation is very poor. In order to be able to deepen the context and clarify the details, Huang Long chose all English questions.
In the end, in this exam with a passing rate of only 10%, Huang Long successfully dismounted and obtained the certificate.
It was with this certificate that the coaching staff allowed Huang Long to form his own small team after nearly three years of internship.
During the winter training in Hainan, the Longteng team also played a few warm-up matches, but their main opponents were some Chinese A, B and even local semi-professional teams in Hainan.
This kind of game is not about winning or losing, it is just about keeping the players with the ball at their feet so that they don't get cold feet.
After the holiday on January 25, all the players, except the foreign players, went home to celebrate the Spring Festival. It was really a difficult time for them. During the Spring Festival, every household had a lot of fish, meat, oil and meat. However, just now
Players in physical training are not sensitive to this.
Watching their families and relatives feasting on boiled chicken breasts, the Longteng players just wanted to go back to the club. After all, the nutritious meals provided by the club's catering team tasted much better than those made by themselves.
As soon as the Spring Festival was over, all the players of the Longteng team flew directly to Portugal.
The first opponent of the Longteng team was the Sporting Lisbon B team. Although Xu Mingyu had already transferred to the Portuguese Liga club Rexol, the cooperation between the two clubs was still retained, and the scouts sent by Sporting Lisbon have been following him.
The Longteng team is conducting an inspection. They have paid attention to Nie Jiang and made purchases no matter how many times.
This season's Sporting Lisbon B team has a very poor record. Among the 22 teams, they are currently ranked 20th and have reached the relegation circle. The reason for the poor performance is the players from the first reserve team who were supposed to play in the B team.
He has been loaned out a lot to other teams in the Portuguese Super League. The team now has some young players, and they are still young players who have not been able to play in the game before.
From the match against Sporting Lisbon B, it can be seen that the Dragons achieved great growth last year.
Zhang Sheng and the coaching staff predict that the main lineup this season will still be based on 3-5-2, with the goalkeeper Huang Dawei; the three central defenders, Liming, Ma Yongli and Lu Zhihui; the midfielders from right to left are Tao Wentao, Qi Minghe
De Paul; the two wing backs Ni Kai and Fernando are separated on the left and right; the forwards are still Chavez and Nie Jiang.
It can be seen that the Longteng team's lineup has not changed much from last season. Apart from Qi Ming moving from the left to the center, Fernando is the only newcomer.
Aurelio Pereira came over to watch the game as usual. The 3-5-2 pressing style, which he thought was still very immature last year, now seems to be used very skillfully.
Compared with last year, the players of the Longteng team not only have one more year of playing experience, but also for the Longteng team, which is mainly composed of young players, the growth of physical fitness in one year cannot be underestimated.
, the average age of the Longteng team is 22.4 years old, nearly half a year older than last year.
This average age can be said to be the strongest number in the team, and the players still have a lot of game experience.
Facing the Sporting Lisbon B team with an average age similar to their own, the Longteng team led 2:0 in the first half.
Qi Ming, who came from the left side of the midfield to the middle of the midfield, has already shown the superior ability of a midfield commander. Aurelio Pereira, who came here to watch Nie Jiang's performance on the field, his eyes lit up.
.
As a professional scout, in his opinion, Qi Ming is far more valuable than Nie Jiang, who was also very active in the first half and even scored a goal.
There are many forwards who can score goals, but midfielders like Qi Ming who are both offensive and defensive are rare.
