After this game, the Longteng team did not return to Jiangcheng, because three days later, they had to play the second round of the FA Cup semi-finals, and their opponent was also a Shanghai team-the dark horse of this year's FA Cup, Shanghai Shennan.
Xin.
In view of the fact that the Longteng team defeated their opponents 3:0 at home in the first round, Zhang Sheng made certain rotations in this game. In addition to the three foreign players who continued to play, Peng Langjun, Tian Qijie, Zeng Fansheng, Qu Wenming,
Ni Kai and other semi-main players and substitute players all started the game.
However, what was supposed to be a race without any suspense ended up with accidents happening midway.
First, Lu Zhihui strained his thigh shortly after the game started without any resistance, and Zhang Sheng had to replace Lu Yangyang. Then Chavez sprained his knee in the second half and was replaced by Tang Jin.
Although Tang Jin, who came on the bench, performed very well and scored twice to help the team win another 2:0 in Shanghai, Zhang Sheng did not feel the joy of advancing to the FA Cup final after winning.
After the game, team doctor Li Xiang gave Zhang Sheng bad news and good news - Chavez's sprain was not serious and he would be able to fully recover in less than two weeks, but captain Lu Zhihui's strain was not that simple.
After an inspection, the team medical team found that his body was very tired. Li Xiang's suggestion was that treatment and rest must be sufficient for a month, otherwise, there is a high probability of serious injury later.
Obviously, Lu Zhihui, who is almost 31 years old, has to pay for the various irregular training, irregular eating habits, and unscientific post-injury rehabilitation in the early stages of his football career.
In fact, for a central defender who is only 31 years old, this should be the golden age of a player's career. Zhang Sheng also expected him to lead a few more young players in the defense, but now it is probably not as good as imagined.
.
Among the current central defenders of the Longteng team, Ma Yongli is seriously injured and cannot come back yet. There is a high probability that the league will end. In addition, Li Ming, Lu Yangyang, and others are one who was born in 1998 and one who was born in 99. Their ability values are not bad, and the other is 88.
A 74, this combination is considered very good in the Chinese Super League.
The problem is that the central defender is a very experienced position. Just look at the last round of the AFC Champions League, the young Wei Zhen was bullied miserably by the experienced Huang He.
Not to mention, as the captain, Lu Zhihui's role in the game is not only reflected in his technical ability, but also the psychological state of the entire team and the control of the rhythm of the game are the most important.
It seems that the summoned players who were once buried in history have their strengths and weaknesses highlighted and cannot be controlled.
The league has reached its final stage, and Zhang Sheng must prepare for the coming season.
Fortunately, after this Football Association Cup match, the Chinese Super League ushered in a short intermission. When formulating the schedule at the beginning of the season, the Football Association also considered the impact of this year's high-intensity top 12 matches on the players and gave them a breather.
opportunity.
The injuries of Chavez and Lu Zhihui are related to the long double and triple games a week this year.
Taking advantage of this intermission, Zhang Sheng gave the players a week-long vacation, and he and Jiang Peng had to pay close attention to Professor Xie's operations.
Because the National Congress will be opening on October 18th in a while, Professor Xie has already communicated with the corresponding National People's Congress deputies and entrusted them to put forward his own proposals.
During this period of time, the Longteng team may have had a relationship with Shanghai Bund. After playing Shanghai SIPG in the AFC Champions League, their positions were not changed, and then they played against Shanghai Shenxin in the FA Cup. Fortunately, there was such an intermittent period in the middle, otherwise,
Zhang Sheng and the team do not need to return to Jiangcheng at all, because on October 15, the Longteng team will play Shanghai Shenhua away from home in Shanghai.
In the first round of the game, the Longteng team unexpectedly lost to the opponent 0:1 at their home court, breaking the team's undefeated record at home. This time, the Longteng team wanted to get this situation back.
At the same time, this game is very important to the Longteng team.
This round of the league is the 27th round of the Chinese Super League this season. The Longteng team currently tops the list with 67 points, 10 points more than the second-ranked Guangzhou Evergrande. With 4 rounds left in the league, if the Longteng team does this
If they win every game, no matter what the score is at Evergrande, the Longteng team will win the league championship in the 2017 season.
This time, the Football Association also specially sent a preparatory awards team to the Hongkou Football Stadium. Once the Longteng team wins, they will award the Vulcan Cup on the spot.
If they win the league championship this season, the Longteng team will achieve three consecutive Chinese Super League championships, one less than the previous four consecutive championships of Guangzhou Evergrande (2011-2014) - of course, Guangzhou Evergrande in real history is
The seven consecutive championships from 2011 to 2017 will also tie another record in the Chinese Super League (A) - Dalian Wanda (Shide)'s two consecutive championships (1996-1998 and 2000-2002 respectively).
Zhang Sheng, the coaching staff, and the players in the team all attach great importance to the title of three consecutive championships. In addition, the leaders of Jiangcheng and Hubei Province also attach great importance to it. Before the game, the relevant leaders also specially gave
The team cheered.
In the actual game, the Longteng team, which was determined to win, did have more desire to compete than Shanghai Shenhua, who had no desires. Although the final score was only 1-2, Shenhua's goal was an accident. They kicked it from the outside
The hopeless long-range shot, after being refracted, penetrated into the Longteng team's net. At other times, they rarely threatened the Longteng team's goal.
After the game, the Football Association specially arranged an awards ceremony, and the players of the Longteng team, led by captain Tao Wentao, excitedly lifted the league championship trophy for the third time.
Compared with the previous congratulatory messages, which were only sent by leaders of the provincial, municipal, and sports bureaus, this time the congratulatory messages were handwritten by senior officials from Hubei Province, which improved the quality a lot.
After all, a Chinese Super League's three consecutive championships is the pride of a city or even a province.
After the game, the Longteng team returned to Jiangcheng with the championship. One was to accept the congratulations from Jiangcheng fans and relevant leaders, and the other was to prepare for the AFC Champions League semi-final home game against Shanghai SIPG three days later.
In addition to participating in these matters, Zhang Sheng also has to pay attention to the proposals prepared by himself and his colleagues on the 10th, 19th, and deal with the system points that he has been very busy during this period and has not had time to enjoy.
Since the last system upgrade, the Longteng team has continuously won in the league and the Football Association Cup. As of the game they just won, the points for 10 wins plus the two 5-game winning streak bonuses for 10 consecutive wins are 60 points.
points, plus the AFC Champions League victory points and promotion points, a total of 490 system points have been accumulated.
Moreover, the system promises that for this league championship, there will be a mysterious gift package, and Zhang Sheng will get a big harvest in one go.
Sure enough, when Zhang Sheng opened the system, the system girl who had not been seen for a long time appeared. In the system simulation space, there was a big display of fireworks. At the end, the fireworks in the sky were lined up with a line: "Congratulations on three consecutive championships."
!”
This is rare.
The system girl was also smiling: "Congratulations. The Chinese team qualified. Your team has won three consecutive championships. Keep up the good work."
"Same joy, same joy." Zhang Sheng was not modest, "It's all thanks to everyone. It's worthy of you and worthy of me."
"Haha." This was the reply given by the system girl.
Only when facing the system will Zhang Sheng show such true temperament. That is another Zhang Sheng's character.
"Not to mention anything else, I came here just to get rewards. I plan to use all the points to summon players." Zhang Sheng gave his choice.
"Why do you suddenly want players this time? I haven't seen you recruiting players for a long time." The system girl was a little surprised.
"There is no way." Zhang Sheng was very distressed, "I also know the importance of recruiting coaches and other football talents based on the foundation, but now the team is short of people, and it is foreseeable that the team will leave next season.
Quite a few people.”
"How to say?"
Faced with the doubts of the girl in the system, Zhang Sheng almost explained with his fingers: "Look. The team has won three consecutive championships. I also proposed not to increase the salary without limit, but even to control the salary. Not to mention the external clubs' treatment of me.
I have opinions. I’m sure there are many players in my own team who have opinions on my proposal.”
"After three consecutive championships, players will inevitably lose their desire to win and consider more about income, family, etc. This is human nature. Although they are calling players, they are also living
It’s definitely true that people have ideas.”
"Besides, the Chinese team has qualified and has a stage to perform in front of fans and clubs around the world. Many players will be attracted by clubs in Europe and even neighboring countries. Players like Nie Jiang and Qi Ming will definitely go to Europe next year.
I have to prepare for the survival of the team in the future."
In real life, it is difficult for Zhang Sheng to say these words even to the closest people, but in front of the system girls, Zhang Sheng has a rare opportunity to vent his bitterness.
In this regard, the system girl also understood very well: "It doesn't matter, there are still enough players in the system. China is so big and has such a large population. There is no need to worry about the jade in Jingshan and the treasure in the ocean."
With the promise given by the system, Zhang Sheng felt relieved a lot.
He first used 400 points to summon a player with a potential of 109 (using 200 points to add 4 potential points to the 105 potential player summoned with 200 points), and then opened the league championship gift package, which gave a potential player
115 players greeting opportunities, and then there are 2 advanced fixed potential pills, 2 super potential pills, 4 advanced potential pills, 5 advanced player growth accelerators, and 5 advanced tactical formation accelerators.
There was only one player with 115 potential in the league champion's gift package. Zhang Sheng was confused and looked at the system girl: "???"
As if she had read Zhang Sheng's mind, the system girl explained: "Your current team has summoned so many good players and has so many excellent coaches from the system. It is much easier to win the league championship. Accordingly,
The rewards given by the system will also change."
Zhang Sheng, who had long experienced the stinginess of the system, had nothing to say and could only comfort himself that it was better than nothing.
After two consecutive calls, the system gave two players. The player with a potential of 109 is a central defender. Judging from the description of the system, this is an extremely stable player and is relatively balanced in all aspects. It can be said that
Young and mature, of course, this is the player Zhang Sheng hopes to get most at this stage. He can be directly used on the court soon after training.
Another player with 115 potential is a forward, and this player has special characteristics.
If this player is placed in a European league, his physical fitness is not top-notch, his skills can only be said to be acceptable, and his ability to play in the frontcourt is average, but his characteristic is that he can score goals. The more he is in the penalty area, the more likely he is to score goals.
The closer he is to the goal, the greater his threat.
If you want to compare him with similar players, he can be regarded as a slightly weakened version of Inzaghi and a strongly strengthened version of Deng Chaoqun.
Players with such distinctive characteristics are absolutely rare in today's football world.
"Um..." After all the rewards were clear, Zhang Sheng also realized that the system was taking care of him.
For example, the rewards and item rewards this time are obviously more than before - more potential pills and more acceleration charms. He now has many players on the team who have played for many seasons. After the season, some people want to leave, and
There will definitely be people who stay, and when the time comes, these potential pills will be the rewards prepared for them.
As for the accelerating symbols, they are even better. When there are adjustments to the personnel, these accelerating symbols are tailor-made for the stability of the team.
For Zhang Sheng's team, the system is really well-intentioned. Like Bo Bo, Zhang Sheng only feels grateful in his heart.
With gratitude, Zhang Sheng left the system.
The players who were summoned came very quickly. At the end of the season, the first team of Longteng Club began to produce results. The various echelons also bore fruit under the careful care of the football school coach and the team echelon coach. The scouts have grown to a certain extent.
He also gave his own results.
The central defender with a potential of 109 comes from the cooperation between the football school and the Black Province Football Association.
2017 is the year of the National Games. A second-tier team from Black Province participated in the competition. Among them was the 19-year-old Mou Chengyuan who signed a contract with Longteng Football School and was loaned to this team. Because of his embarrassing age and the National Games
U20 and U18 are both independent - another player "born" in a non-competition year.
This second-division team competes on three fronts: the league, the Football Association Cup, and the National Games. It is short of personnel. Mou Chengyuan, who was originally loaned by the club through the Football Association to serve as a substitute, has a lot of opportunities to play.
Mou Chengyuan did not waste such an opportunity. He first came into play during the qualifying round to replace the injured central defender and helped the team withstand the opponent's attack in the last twenty minutes.
After qualifying for the men's football city group finals of the National Games, Mou Chengyuan was used as the main central defender in the National Games, making it all the way out of the group stage and finally reaching the finals.
However, Mou Chengyuan was young and inexperienced after all. In the semi-final before the final, he received the second accumulated yellow card of the tournament and was suspended, and was unable to participate in the final.
The team from Black Province did not concede a single goal in the group stage and semi-finals. In the final, the team without Mou Chengyuan conceded two goals in a row and lost to the team from Shaanxi Province. In the end, they only won the silver medal.
Even Duan Xin, the head coach of the Heilongjiang team, and Zhang Sheng's old rival in the second and first leagues called him: "Your Longteng players are so useful, what a pity."
Zhang Sheng replied with a smile: "What's a pity? Didn't get the gold medal?"
"You boy. It's a pity that he is not my player!" Coach Duan complained fiercely.
Director Duan is right, because after the end of this season, Mou Chengyuan will return to the first team of the Dragons.
