According to Zhang Sheng's information, Paulinho's replacement candidates are not these. As for Chilean star Vidal, it is even more unreliable. As Chile's midfielder, Vidal is working hard to qualify for the World Cup in Chile.
He will definitely not leave Bayern. With his current strength, he will not leave Europe either, because generally speaking, the Chinese Super League is more of a nursing home for stars.
The more reliable news is that Evergrande is now contacting Liverpool’s Brazilian player Lucas Leiva.
This is a player whose strength far outweighs his fame.
As a ten-year veteran of the Red Army, he has never fallen behind whether he is competing with Gerrard or world-class stars such as Mascherano and Xabi Alonso. The main reason why he is not famous is that
Or is it because he plays as a defensive midfielder and gets less attention? In addition, he has a gentle personality and a low profile, making him less likely to be chased by the media.
Evergrande pays attention to him. In addition to his strong ability, his low price is also a big reason.
More importantly, there are too many young talents in Liverpool's midfield such as Coutinho, Lallana, Wijnaldum, Milner, Henderson, Emre Can, etc., which has compressed Lucas Leiva.
He needs more games as he is working hard for a spot in the Brazilian national team for the 2018 World Cup.
In real history, Lucas Leiva transferred to Lazio in Serie A at a low price of 5.5 million euros. In the next two seasons, he showed core-level abilities, and Lazio can be said to have made a lot of money.
Being able to gain the attention of the Brazilian national team coach at Guangzhou Evergrande is obviously in line with Lucas Leiva's expectations.
The biggest question plaguing Guangzhou Evergrande now is whether Paulinho will leave and when.
This year’s Chinese Super League summer transfer period is from June 19 to July 14, while La Liga’s 2017 summer transfer period will not end until September 2.
In other words, La Liga has enough time to introduce Paulinho, while Guangzhou Evergrande must decide whether to buy the player within 2 days. The two sides are too unequal.
Until the evening of July 13, Guangzhou Evergrande had not made any official announcement about the introduction of foreign players. The only thing they did was to allow Kim Young-kwon, who had returned from serious injury, to register for the game. Instead, they removed Kim Hyung-il and J-Martinez from the registration list.
At this time, Zhang Sheng knew that Guangzhou Evergrande was betting that Paulinho would not leave.
On July 14, the 2017 Chinese Super League summer transfer window was closed, marking the most deserted summer transfer window in the history of the past five years.
On the same day, the Longteng team met the challenge of Jiangsu Suning at home in Jiangcheng. Perhaps no one expected that this was a match between the league's top team and the league's deputy captain.
You must know that last season Suning participated in this season's AFC Champions League in the name of third place in the league. In the blink of an eye, by the 16th round of this season, Jiangsu Suning was ranked last in the league.
Surprisingly, although Jiangsu Suning was struggling in the league at this time, the team was actually fighting in three directions and advancing hand in hand.
In the AFC Champions League, Jiangsu Suning qualified with an undefeated record as the first in the group. Even in the quarter-finals, they and Shanghai SIPG were inseparable, losing by only one goal in both rounds.
In the FA Cup, they successfully advanced to the quarter-finals in the last round. Their opponent was the Chinese League One team Shanghai Shenxin, and it is very likely that they will continue to advance.
The two sides of the story could not be more obvious in the physical performance of the Jiangsu Suning team.
The third-line battle certainly gives people hope that the team can still maintain its breath, but it is also the main culprit for the team's ranking last in the league.
Fortunately, they are already out of the AFC Champions League.
The head coach Cui Yongzhu who led the team to this point also resigned sadly, and Fabio Capello, who is as famous as the Chinese national team coach Silver Fox Lippi, took over the team.
There is no need to go into details about Capello's honors and resume. Any fan who knows a little bit about football will know this man's qualifications.
Being able to take over Jiangsu Suning, which is last in the league when many coaches are afraid of it, the club should be grateful to the coach for his care.
Of course, Jiangsu Suning did not miss this life-saving opportunity during the summer window. The signings of Mukancho and Sainsbury can be said to be a life-saving straw for the team to avoid relegation.
When Cui Yongzhu was leading the team, Jiangsu Suning insisted on its own offensive football style. He always wanted to copy the three-center-back tactics from the Korean team, which made Suning, who had never played three-center defenders, at a loss.
In the AFC Champions League, the 7-0-3 style of play, which allows three strong foreign players to attack the counterattacks of other strong teams in Asia, can often be effective, but in the league, it is others' turn to counterattack Jiangsu Suning.
Coupled with the problems of physical fitness and injuries on the third line, there is a reason why Suning ranks last in the league.
After Capello took over the team, the biggest change he brought about was that the defense became better. Of course, this is related to the "1:0 doctrine" that Capello has always insisted on. The Italian coach has always been good at training defense.
At the same time, unlike Choi Yong-soo, a local player who plays big shots in the backcourt and three foreign players in the frontcourt, Capello's counterattacks are obviously smoother. In the four games since he took over, although the team has not won, it can continuously press
It is not easy to tie two strong teams, Beijing Zhonghe Guoan and Shanghai Greenland Shenhua. After all, the team has been suffering from chronic diseases for a long time and the players are almost exhausted.
Under such circumstances, Capello led the team to Jiangcheng.
In this game, Mukancho just joined the team, his body still needs to adjust, and he is completely unfamiliar with his teammates, so he stayed on the sidelines. However, Suning's absolute main force on the wing, former Longteng player Xiao Yunfan, who was seriously injured at the beginning of the season, returned from injury.
Together with Zhou Zhou, who is also a former Longteng player, Suning relied on two wings to fly together last season and reappeared in the world.
Capello used a 3-5-2 formation for this game. He wanted to make full use of the abilities of the two wide players, and the effect was indeed good. In the first half, the two former Longteng players sprinted up and down, giving
It posed a considerable threat to the Dragon Team.
However, in the 14th minute of the first half, the injury of core midfielder Wu Xi greatly discouraged Suning. The Longteng team, which already had the advantage on the court, completely controlled the rhythm of the game.
At the end of the first half, Nie Jiang's brace easily gave the Longteng team the lead.
After DePaul scored another goal in the second half, although he was also injured, the Longteng team's victory was irreversible. Jiangsu Suning just used Jiang Mingzhi to attack too aggressively before the end of the game and scored a face-saving goal.
After the game, Zhang Sheng was very relieved, not because the team won--it should be three points against the last place, but because under the influence of two advanced tactical accelerators, Jiang Mingzhi
I'm obviously a lot more familiar with the cooperation with the defenders.
As for the missed ball, it was entirely a matter of Jiang Mingzhi's own ability.
It should be said that Huang Dawei's injury was unfortunate. At the same time, the fortunate thing is that during the period after his injury, the Longteng team's games were not too intensive. They played one game a week for three consecutive weeks, which gave the Longteng team a chance to breathe -
-Zhang Sheng worked hard to pile up items, and the coaching staff tried every means to strengthen defensive training.
Otherwise, Jiangsu Suning will learn from the past, and the Longteng team will most likely face a third-tier defeat.
Maybe the top three teams have a tacit understanding. When there is a tie, everyone will tie together. When they win, everyone will win together. In this round of games, Evergrande defeated a strong team like Shandong Luneng at home.
, SIPG also easily defeated Yanbian Fude.
The three teams are still very tight on points, and no one dares to relax.
In mid-week, these three teams finally ushered in a double-match schedule, and the FA Cup war was once again ignited.
The rules for this year's FA Cup quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals are the same as last year. If the two opposing teams belong to different competition levels, the team ranked lower in the competition level will play first.
The teams with the top rankings in this league in the previous year will play first away and then at home.
So after the game against Jiangsu Suning, the Dragons flew directly to Shanghai. De Paul, who had a slight injury in the previous game and needed a week's rest, stayed in Jiangcheng.
Against Shanghai Shenhua, the Longteng team has been holding back their energy, because the Longteng team's only loss this season, and the loss at home, was due to Shenhua.
For this reason, even with double games a week, Zhang Sheng still did not make too many rotations. Except for De Paul who was replaced by Ni Kai in the starting lineup due to injury, Tao Wentao's physical fitness was slightly insufficient, and Zeng Wengrong rotated, all other positions were
All the main players come on stage.
The coaching staff also arranged a lot of tactics before the game to deal with Shenhua playing at home. After all, the Hongkou Football Stadium is one of the famous devil's home stadiums in the Chinese Super League.
During the game, the Longteng team, which had prepared so carefully, felt like a fist hit the cotton. It’s not that Shenhua responded properly and the Longteng team had nothing to do, but the goal came too easily.
In the third minute of the first half, Shenhua's center back Bi Jinhao made an unexpected clearance and missed it. The football accidentally ran to Nie Jiang's feet in the penalty area. How could Nie Jiang let go of such an opportunity? He easily pushed
The shot was successful and the Longteng team led 1:0.
Shenhua lost the ball early in the kick-off, and Shenhua's deployment seemed to be half ineffective. Martins and Tevezga Moreno in the frontcourt made repeated mistakes in cooperation, and the offense was in a mess.
In the 15th minute of the first half, the Longteng team scored again. Shenhua's loss came from a passing error in the frontcourt. The Longteng team counterattacked with the ball. Bi Jinhao, who was said by Shenhua fans to turn around like an aircraft carrier, was hit by Ni Kai.
At full speed, the latter went to the meeting alone to gain another victory, and the Longteng team took a 2:0 lead.
In the 33rd minute of the first half, another Shenhua center back, Li Jianbing, knocked down Chavez in the penalty area. Not only did he receive a yellow card, but he also allowed the Longteng team to win a penalty kick. The latter took the penalty kick he created.
Success, the score became 3:0.
"This is really terrible." Lou Yicheng, who commented on the game, complained, "Shenhua's offense is unorganized and its defense is a mess. If it continues like this, it is very likely that it will be defeated."
Fortunately, the players of the Longteng team were able to carry it out clearly. After taking a three-goal lead, they took the initiative to slow down the tempo. Li Jianbing's foul just now clearly caused his mentality to be a bit unbalanced. We didn't want to get hurt.
In the second half, Shenhua made substitutions, replacing Bi Jinhao with young player Jiang Shenglong.
This is actually a change influenced by Zhang Sheng.
In real history, Shenhua had to wait until the beginning of 2018 to complete the acquisition of the Genbao 99/00 echelon, but now it is more than half a year in advance.
Mr. Xu's Chongming production has three batches. The first batch of players, Wu Lei, Zhang Linpeng, etc. are currently the main players of the national team. The second batch is the current SIPG players in the 1993/1994 age group, such as the current SIPG main defender He Hao, etc.
At the end of 2014, after Xu Genbao sold all the shares of Shanghai East Asia Football Club to SIPG, he re-leveled and built Chongming Genbao Football Club. This group of young players in the 1999-2000 age group also became the third batch of Chongming Made.
In the same year, Greenland acquired Shenhua.
Due to a series of unscrupulous actions by former Shenhua boss Zhu Jun, when Greenland took over, the entire club was in a state of chaos. The construction of the echelon was completely stalled, and Greenland had to re-establish Shenhua's youth training system.
Back then, Greenland acquired Lucky Star's 95/96 echelon as a whole. This youth training institution was the result of the hard work of Shanghai famous players Shen Si and Qi Hong. Not to mention that the two of them were imprisoned for match-fixing, at least at this point.
We have to recognize their contribution to Chinese football.
There are actually many good talents in this team, such as the former best rookie Li Xiaoming, such as Micro Motion Wings, Wei Zhen, Hu Ruibao, and Lei Wenjie who later became famous, including Xu Junmin, Chen Zhao, and Xu Tianyuan who were able to gain a foothold in the Chinese Super League in the future.
It's from this team.
However, at this time, among these players, only Li Xiaoming is famous, and other abilities are temporarily insufficient to take over.
After Greenland took over, in order to ensure the team's performance, they bought many players. They bought many players from the Longteng team. However, in order to form immediate combat capabilities, most of the players they bought were mature in age.
Xu Di, Sun Yu, and Wen Kai were all born in 1987 or 1988, and are close to or over 30 years old.
Shenhua fans have been joking: "Everyone is doing U23, we are doing U35."
A refresh of the entire team is imminent.
Compared with Shenhua, Shanghai SIPG, another team in Shanghai, benefited from Genbao’s first and second batch of youth training teams. The age structure of the team is very reasonable, and they are all in their prime.
Then a strange phenomenon occurred in Genbao's 9900 echelon - neither the players nor the players' parents wanted to go to Shanghai SIPG, which had better results, but wanted to go to Shenhua.
Of course, Genbao’s battle for the 99/00 echelon was not that simple. During the negotiation process, at least three wealthy Chinese Super League clubs intervened.
Guangzhou Evergrande once offered a price of up to 150 million yuan to acquire this team as a whole.
Genbao's meaning is relatively clear, that is, Evergrande will be considered only if the two Shanghai clubs, Shenhua and Shanghai SIPG, don't want people. In the end, after Genbao held a player parents' meeting, the opinion of most parents was
Let your children go to Shenhua.
Parents believe that because Shenhua has a weak echelon, their children will have more room for development and more opportunities in the club in the future - and they will get relatively more money.
Of course, although it sounds like a foundation, the "Shenhua feelings" that are like a fig leaf for the team also play a certain role. After all, Shenhua once had great success in Shanghai Bund.
This is the process of Greenland Shenhua’s acquisition of Genbao’s 99/00 echelon in real history.
