57. Not to be humiliated

In this time and space, Shenhua seems to be more urgent, because the performance of Genbao 99/00 echelon is even better.

In the just-concluded World Youth Championship in South Korea, players such as Jiang Shenglong and Zhu Chenjie, who jumped into the next level, performed extremely dazzlingly. In the end, their fourth place in the World Youth Championship was the result.

Their excellent performance accelerated the players' desire to get promoted, and the players' parents began to wait for the price.

Guangzhou Evergrande offered a purchase price of up to 400 million for this echelon. Of course, they received the same answer from Genbao: Shanghai Shuangxiong has priority.

Shanghai SIPG has also frequently contacted players and their parents. Through previous cooperative relationships, SIPG has increased its public relations with Mr. Xu.

Shenhua finally couldn't sit still anymore. They made a lot of promises, including players' playing opportunities after the acquisition, increases in player salaries, players' commitment to study abroad, etc.

Mr. Xu and the Shanghai Football Association were also very anxious at the same time.

The 2017 Tianjin National Games will start in August. The Shanghai National Games football team was established based on Genbao’s 99/00 echelon. It has won the National Games football championship for three consecutive years in history, and is now being eliminated by the Hubei Football Association.

The arrogant and arrogant Shanghai Football Association, which is in the lead, has given a fatal order - it must win the championship.

The problem is that the future ownership of the echelon has not yet been decided, and external interference has even made the players absent-minded during training. Genbao and the Shanghai Football Association have to speed up the decision-making process.

It is a true portrayal of the Genbao 99/00 echelon to continue to be disrupted and suffer chaos.

In the end, after a series of communication, bargaining, and even several back-and-forths, the Genbao 99/00 echelon was successfully acquired by Shenhua during the summer transfer period of the Chinese Super League.

Shenhua paid more than 250 million yuan to the Genbao Chongming Base Football School.

Among them, players with sufficient ability, such as Jiang Shenglong and Zhu Chenjie, directly signed up for the first team. Today, when the team reached a critical moment, Jiang Shenglong was sent up.

As the coach of Shenhua, Poyet has good ideas, but the reality is cruel.

Not long after Jiang Shenglong came up, the Longteng team scored again. This time it was Fernando who scored. The score became 4:0. Shenhua was completely desperate.

"A two-round game ended in one round." This time Lou Yicheng commented on the game at the 15th minute of the second half.

After that, the Longteng team began to make a large number of substitutions. Nie Jiang, Fernando, and Chavez were replaced one after another. The three most offensive players in the starting lineup all got the opportunity to rest.

It was not until this moment that Shenhua had a decent attack. Moreno's header before the end made the home Shenhua fans look a little better.

However, the score of 4:1 meant that the second round became a formality.

After the game, Zhang Sheng's private summary of Shenhua was: "The more injured the Shenhua team becomes, the fiercer they become. When injured, they are like berserkers. They often stage Olaf-style bloody counterattacks. But this situation is too rare. Only

Like when Demba Ba was seriously injured. Most of the time, the attitude of Shenhua players was not professional at all."

Other colleagues on the coaching staff also deeply agree.

The victory in the Football Association Cup allowed the Longteng team to welcome the weekend's league match away to Chongqing Lifan with a relaxed mood.

Compared with the leisurely Longteng team, both SIPG and Evergrande were very unhappy. The former lost to Tianjin Quanjian 0:3 in an away game and basically lost the opportunity to advance. The latter was defeated by Guangzhou R&F in the same city derby 2:4 away.

The situation of promotion is also precarious.

What makes Zhang Sheng even more happy is that in the weekend league, there will be a home game between Shanghai SIPG and Guangzhou Evergrande. What is more enjoyable than sitting on the mountain and watching the battle between tigers and tigers?

When the game started, Zhang Sheng completely forgot about the other game because Chongqing Lifan at home was very difficult to play.

The emergence of Zhang Sheng caused Fernando to take another path. He came to the Longteng team, but Lifan's thinking of recruiting has not changed, and the type of players it has introduced has not changed. "Big Motor" Fernandinho

Came to the team early.

Fernandinho caused a lot of trouble for the Longteng team during the game.

Fifteen minutes into the first half, Nie Jiang scored to help the team take the lead. Five minutes later, Fernandinho assisted Caldec's header.

In the seventh minute of the second half, Fernando scored three goals in a row, which made Zhang Sheng on the sidelines applaud him. Eight minutes later, Fernandinho responded even more brilliantly by scoring four goals in a row. Chongqing Olympic Sports

The voices of more than 50,000 fans in the center echoed throughout the sky.

In the end, the stronger Longteng team was superior. In the 23rd minute of the second half, Nie Jiang took the lead again with a beautiful long shot in front of the penalty area. However, the overly excited Chongqing Lifan had physical problems early on and could not fight back.

With no one to deliver the ball to Fernandinho, the Longteng team's defense was finally safe. Chavez's header before the end extended the score to 4:2, and the Longteng team firmly won the game.

At the end of the game, good news came from another venue. Shanghai SIPG tied with Guangzhou Evergrande 2:2 at home. The Longteng team benefited, and the points gap with Guangzhou Evergrande expanded to three points.

The points gap widened to seven points.

In this focus battle of the game, just like in history, Wu Lei performed astonishingly.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who came to China for promotional activities before the game, was accompanied by fellow countryman Carvalho and others to interact with the fans. Then, with the attention of more than 48,000 fans, the game started.

Historically, Oscar's absence had a great impact on Shanghai SIPG. Now Yan Xiaoyu helps share a lot of offensive organization work. Similarly, the presence of more Diego Costa than in history also affects the progress of the game.

In the first half of the game, the competition between the two sides was more intense than exciting. Everyone was based on defense, and the confrontation was fierce, but it was difficult to have a good scoring opportunity.

In the second half, Diego Costa showed his strength. He turned around and shot in front of the penalty area, knocking Yan Junling's fingers. Guangzhou Evergrande took a 1:0 away lead.

After losing the ball, Shanghai SIPG started to counterattack. Yan Xiaoyu made a beautiful through ball from the middle. Wu Lei understood the situation and entered the penalty area, pushing the ball past the goal guarded by Zengcheng, another national goalkeeper.

Everyone is back on the same starting line.

Although the score of 1:1 was a draw, the two goals ignited the players' condition.

Twenty-five minutes into the second half, Goulart scored and Guangzhou Evergrande took the lead again.

Scolari did not make defensive adjustments in time, but still maintained an offensive attitude, and the game was still exciting.

Afterwards, both sides had many chances to score, but were unable to score.

Until the 85th minute of the game, Hulk's breakthrough attracted three Evergrande defensive players. His pass allowed Wu Lei in the penalty area to successfully move. The latter keenly captured the opportunity in front of the goal and directly

A low shot into the far corner made Wu Lei, who scored twice, tie the score at 2:2.

After the final draw, Scolari was so angry that he once again started a verbal spat with reporters at the post-match press conference.

The reporter provocatively mentioned that Guangzhou Evergrande players committed many fouls at the end of the game: "In the last stage of the game, Evergrande committed frequent fouls. Do you think Evergrande's 12 players were kicking SIPG's 11 players?"

With such provocation, the quality of reporters is really criticized.

When the host announced the end of the press conference, Scolari couldn't hold back his anger at all: "I'll tell this Shanghai reporter again. There may be 6 referees on the court today, except for the 4 referees.

, as well as Hulk and Elkerson, maybe you didn’t see clearly and thought we had 12 people.”

If Scolari was full of anger towards reporters this time, then two days later, another piece of news made him even more furious.

On July 24, despite being rejected by Evergrande twice, Barcelona did not give up. Barcelona representatives appeared in London to meet with Paulinho's agent Bertolucci.

Subsequently, the Brazilian media stated that Paulinho had a clear intention and hoped to join Barcelona. Therefore, there was no problem in the contract negotiations between Barcelona and him, and the progress in this regard was very good. However, the negotiations between Barcelona and Evergrande ran into difficulties.

The players have put all the pressure on the club. If there is no good communication, it is very likely that the two sides will have a confrontation.

Guangzhou Evergrande is obviously using all means to retain Paulinho. In the Chinese Super League at the weekend, Evergrande rarely handed him the captain's armband. In fact, among the starting players were Gao Lin and Zengcheng.

The elder of the team, Scolari still used this to express the team's importance to Paulinho.

Si Shuai had good intentions, but the game did not go according to his ideas at all.

Guangzhou Evergrande's opponent in this round of the league is Guangzhou R&F, and just a week ago, the two teams met in the first leg of the FA Cup quarter-finals.

In that game, the scoring champion showed his prowess and helped Guangzhou R&F defeat Guangzhou Evergrande, which played with half the main lineup, 4:2 at their home court.

In the Guangzhou Derby in the Football Association Cup, R&F took the lead.

Now in the Guangzhou Derby of the league, it is still the home court of Guangzhou R&F. Guangzhou Evergrande still has many main players unable to play - many players had colds and fevers before the game, Alan also had minor injuries, and Zheng Zhi and Feng Xiaoting both accumulated four yellow cards.

Suspension.

In the end, Mei Fang took Feng Xiaoting's place, and Huang Bowen took Zheng Zhi's place.

Just like the last derby, Paulinho, who is wearing the captain's armband, has been in a mediocre, even sluggish state as he has been in recent times. Compared to the game before the transfer rumors, he was a completely different person.

When the back can't be strengthened, teams like R&F that like to play against each other are the happiest. They are not afraid of you attacking, they are afraid that you can defend well.

The goalkeeper and the Thunderbirds kept using their own skills to attack Evergrande's defense. The midfielder failed to erect a barrier for the central defender, and the ball was conceded as expected.

"Evergrande's nemesis" Xiao Zhi assisted R&F to open the scoring, helping R&F lead 1:0 in the first half.

After the start of the second half, Evergrande invested more people in the offense, but the effect was still there. Diego Costa equalized the score after receiving Goulart's pass, but the negative effect was also obvious. After only three minutes, Evergrande's defense appeared

There was a loophole. Mei Fang, who had not played for a long time, made a mistake in cooperation with Du Zhenyu. The Thunderbirds made a mistake in the penalty area and exceeded the score again.

The house was leaking and it was raining continuously. Mei Fang, who was eager for success, sprained his knee and was carried off the field on a stretcher. Looking at the way he was covering his face and crying, it was definitely a serious injury.

Scolari hurriedly replaced Mei Fang with Zhang Chenlin. The more unfamiliar central defender team ushered in the third goal. A bunch of defensive players made the Thunderbirds' passing seem as if they were walking on flat ground. His wonderful one

After Long entered the penalty area, the score expanded to 3:1.

At this point in the game, there was obviously something wrong with the mentality of the Evergrande players. After Zhaqiu Wang easily scored another goal, Gao Lin got a goal back before the end of the game, so that Evergrande would not be too embarrassed.

4:2, which is the same score as the Guangzhou Derby a week ago. Evergrande’s R&F, which has always been worthy of success in the derby, once again defeated its opponent.

After the game, Scolari revealed that Mei had ruptured his cruciate ligament and would be out for at least six months.

As for Paulinho's performance and Scolari's performance, criticism from outsiders poured in unsurprisingly, and the "violent bird" that had been touted before became a "soft-footed chicken".

By this time, the entire Evergrande knew that Paulinho could no longer be retained.

Previously, Evergrande had pinned its hopes on Barcelona not to sell Neymar. It didn't have much money and was reluctant to spend money to buy Paulinho. But depending on the situation, Barcelona can no longer keep the horse. At the same time, the funds to buy Paulinho are completely insufficient.

It's no longer a problem.

Spanish media have also reported that Barcelona is prepared to directly match the 40 million euros in liquidated damages in Paulinho's contract and take him to Camp Nou.

Perhaps because they felt that the overall situation was decided, in the Football Association Cup in midweek, Guangzhou Evergrande simply won Paulinho and started with three forward foreign aids, Alan, Golat and Diego Costa.

In this Guangzhou Derby, Guangzhou Evergrande, playing at home, performed a miracle. After conceding the first goal and falling behind with a total score of 2:5, they scored three goals in a row to equalize the total score. And if this score ends, Evergrande will

Advance with the advantage of more away goals.

This time it was the R&F players' turn to have an unbalanced mentality. Chen Zhizhao fouled Diego Costa twice in one minute and was sent off with a red card. The latter scored with a header before the end of the first half, completing a hat trick in the game.

, and at the same time brought the total score to 5:4.

The beauty of the prosperous age finally broke out.

Diego Costa completed his first four goals since coming to the Chinese Super League shortly after the start of the second half. Although the goal scorer got a goal back, in the end Guangzhou R&F was unable to make a comeback with one less player. Goulart and

Alan scored one goal each before the end, eliminated his city rivals with a score of 7:2 (total score of two rounds: 9:6), and advanced to the semi-finals.

Compared with the calm game between Longteng and Shanghai Greenland Shenhua, this game made the entire Chinese Super League look sideways - Evergrande's strength is far beyond what R&F can humiliate.

"Fortunately, we took advantage of Paulinho's transfer drama during this period of time between Guangzhou and Evergrande to distance ourselves from them." Zhang Sheng was also secretly stunned.

This week, the Longteng team first defeated Guizhou Hengfeng Zhicheng 3:1 in the home league, and then tied with Shanghai Shenhua 1:1 in the Football Association Cup with all substitutes.

Points distance - the Longteng team is now six points ahead of Evergrande and nine points ahead of Shanghai SIPG. The players' physical fitness is also maintained very well.

Seeing that the team was about to win its first five-game winning streak after the system upgrade, there was a reason why Zhang Sheng and the entire coaching staff insisted on using an all-substitute lineup.

Because next, the highlight of this season, the Battle of Tianwangshan, the home league match between Guangzhou Evergrande and Longteng will start on the weekend.
