When the players were all happily on vacation... Zhang Sheng had a bit of a headache, because on July 22, the Longteng team was going to challenge Shaanxi Daqin away from home, but the Longteng team, which had just returned from Guangzhou, could be said to be in very poor condition.
First, there was the physical issue. In the game against Evergrande, the rainy battle and high-intensity confrontation basically exhausted the team’s main players. However, three days after the game, they had to go to Xi’an to participate in an away game.
The physical requirements are simply too high.
Then there is the issue of injuries. In the game against Evergrande, many players finished the game with injuries, such as Qin Minghao, the core team member of the team. At the same time, in the first twelve rounds of the league, there were also players in the team.
Two players have accumulated yellow cards and will be suspended.
Therefore, eight main players including Qin Minghao, Li Yun, Zhou Hai, Liu Xing, Gao Jun, Deng Qun, Huang Zongwei and Lin Feng cannot play in this game. Several other players are not very physically fit either. Zhang Sheng has no choice but to lead
I went to Xi'an with a group of substitutes. On the bench, there were players from the second-tier team, and these players were younger.
On July 21, the last day of the second transfer registration deadline, Zhang Sheng signed up for the supplementary list, and then flew the team to Xi'an, Shaanxi to face the Shaanxi Daqin team.
The players of Shaanxi Daqin are not bad, but the one who is really weak is the team’s owner. Zhang Sheng still remembers a joke he heard about Shaanxi Daqin in his previous life. The owner of Daqin relied on an Internet cafe to support the team.
, the players once didn’t even have money to eat. They often saw others eating meat in small noodle shops, while the players ate bare noodles.
When collecting opponent information before the game, Zhang Sheng heard that although Daqin's results are not bad now, there is already news that the club owner is owed wages. Zhang Sheng knows that this is actually a true portrayal of many second-tier teams. The person responsible for collecting information
Club staff also confirmed that the financial strength of the owner of Daqin Team is indeed poor.
Cheng Qixin, the owner of Daqin Club, really likes football and really wants to carry the banner of Shaanxi football, but his financial strength is not enough to support a professional team because his real money-making industry is only opened in Lintong District.
It is obviously unrealistic for a large Internet cafe to use an Internet cafe to support a team.
The current head coach of Shaanxi Daqin is Shang Qing. He used to be the main player of the Shaanxi National Team and is very familiar with Shaanxi football. After retiring, Shang Qing entered Xi'an Sports Institute to study, and then came out and worked as an assistant coach until he became the head coach.
It should be said that the football atmosphere in Xi'an and Shaanxi as a whole is very good. Xi'an has always been China's gold medal football market. The Daqin team is only a second-class team, with an attendance of 2 people per game, sometimes even more than 3
People watched the game. The Daqin team valued the Longteng team that arrived in Xi'an, because the current Longteng team is no longer the unknown team before, and the current Longteng team has become the object of many people's attention.
It should be said that since the Longteng team eliminated Chongqing Lifan, it has begun to attract attention, especially the words of Lifan's head coach "Barcelona in the Second Division" made some people in the circle know about the Longteng. And after the Football Association Cup eliminated Henan Jianye
, as long as anyone in the football circle knows that there is a powerful and outrageous team in the second division.
However, these are just the concerns of insiders. Ordinary fans rarely pay attention to a second-division team, even if it wins all twelve rounds in the second-division league and continuously eliminates the Chinese Football Association Cup and the Chinese Football Association Cup.
Team. The fans who really pay attention to these are all Jiangcheng fans. The scope can even be narrowed down a bit, and they are Longteng fans.
But things are different now. After the game against Evergrande, the victorious Longteng team attracted the attention of a large number of fans. This is due to two aspects. One is the influence of Evergrande and the other is the influence of CCTV.
Evergrande's influence comes from its excellent results and high investment, not to mention the influence of CCTV. It should be said that CCTV, which originally focused on Evergrande, joined forces to make wedding clothes for the Longteng team.
.Especially the goal before the end. Countless fans were amazed. And the video of this goal was widely circulated on the Internet.
On a well-known forum in China, someone posted a post called "China's second-division team scores as much as Barcelona", and then posted a gif of the Longteng team's goal.
Soon the first reply was: "Wow, this combination is really beautiful. If it weren't for the different people watching the football, I would have thought it was Barcelona playing football."
The following replies were followed by likes:
"Beautiful coordination, is this played by a second-division team? It's incredible. The opponent seems to be Evergrande."
"I know this goal. It was scored by a second-division team called Longteng in the last round of the FA Cup against Evergrande. I watched the live broadcast at the time."
"This ball is beautiful."
"There is hope for Chinese football."
There are also those who stepped on:
"Only sB watches Chinese football."
"You can tell it's a match-fix at a glance, and even the other team's players won't be able to guard against it."
"Is it fun to photoshop all the Barcelona players?"
Of course, these topics in the forum are distorted as they go on:
"The monkey trick was successful."
"The ones upstairs are Gui'an fans. The identification has been completed."
"The Shandong Pacers are too embarrassed to talk."
"Although I am not a fan of anyone, I want to say, Gui An s.B."
Posts like this have been circulated in countless football forums and football posts, earning the Longteng team a lot of eyeballs.
At the same time, after the game, many media contacted the Longteng Club, hoping to interview the club. As for the local media in Jiangcheng, Jiangcheng TV immediately reported the news of the Longteng team’s victory in the sports newspaper of the day. Of course, they requested interviews.
Most of them are emerging media and online media.
However, there are a few media outlets that Zhang Sheng does not want to miss, and that is the local media in Jiangcheng. If a club wants to create a good atmosphere, it is inevitable to deal with the media. And the media that pays the most attention is of course the media in the city where the team is located.
In particular, the Chutian Metropolis Daily's interviews are very important to the Longteng team. As a newspaper with a daily circulation of over one million copies, most of the Chutian Metropolis Daily's readers are Jiangcheng citizens, which is also the basis of Jiangcheng fans. And then there is
An interview in the Cultural and Sports Nightclub column of Jiangcheng TV Station’s cultural and sports channel. This column is basically watched by sports fans in Jiangcheng. It should be said that this program is more targeted at fans.
Before it fully develops, the most important thing is to attract local fans. Zhang Sheng’s goal is to increase the attendance rate at home at least this season. Although the interview request has been basically agreed, Zhang Sheng still
Make an appointment with someone from the club’s public relations department after the game against Daqin.
For the Longteng team, which had just defeated Evergrande, Shaanxi Daqin was fully prepared. However, after seeing the players brought over by Zhang Sheng, the club also breathed a sigh of relief.
In the visiting team's locker room before the game, Zhang Sheng was making final arrangements for the players: "Many of our players didn't come for this game. But I think this shouldn't be a reason for you to give up. Just like we can win against Evergrande
The same thing, you should not think that you are not as good as those players who have not come. In my team, it will always be the state that speaks. Whoever is in good form will be let on. Everyone, perform well."
The game started soon. This time the Longteng team arranged a 442 formation. The forwards were Wen Kai and Chen Hao, the midfielders were Xu Mingyu, Zhao Yingxiong, Wu Hao and Sun Yu. The defenders were Wang Peng, Li Fei, Lu Zhihui and
Shu Jun. The goalkeeper also replaced Liu Fangming with Xu Di. On the bench, only Lu Xi and Liu Fangming were considered official substitutes, and the other five players rarely had the chance to play.
After the game started, Shaanxi Daqin took advantage of the home court and began to launch a fierce attack. Daqin's head coach Shang Qing was still very careful. After comparing the Longteng team's previous game roster, Shang Qing knew that this was a very good opportunity to score points.
.Only three of the Dragons players on the field are the absolute main force, and there are also three players who signed up for the second transfer. They want to take advantage of the fact that the Dragons are weakening and their tactical coordination is unfamiliar.
The Longteng team did make constant mistakes on the field. Xu Mingyu and Sun Yu were a midfield organizer and a midfield defender. One of the two had just joined the team not long ago and was not very accustomed to the team's tactics.
I haven’t played a professional game for a long time, and I have just made adjustments for 2 months, which is still far from the previously designated 3-5 month adjustment plan. Therefore, the midfield of the Longteng team was in chaos from the beginning. Fortunately, the Longteng team’s midfield was in chaos.
The defense is still basically complete, with only Lu Zhihui being new.
In this game, Zhang Sheng did not use buffs that increase attack or defense, but used basic tactical growth buffs. He also wanted to speed up the coordination proficiency of the players on the field.
However, the team still lost a goal in the 30th minute of the first half. This ball was caused by the lack of tacit understanding of the pass between Xu Mingyu and Wen Kai in the frontcourt, allowing the opponent to intercept the ball. Then Sun Yu and Wu Haozhi were responsible for the defense.
A defensive positioning error occurred during the period. As a result, Jiang Zhongxiao of Daqin team got a chance to stand alone. Daqin's main shooter did not waste the opportunity and rewritten the score to 1:o.
After losing the ball, the Longteng team did not panic and continued to maintain the original tactics, but the coordination between passing and receiving was obviously much better. In Daqin's continuous attack, the Longteng team maintained the score of 1:0.
End of halftime.
At halftime, Zhang Sheng did not blame the players for falling behind by one goal, but praised them: "The opponent did play better than us in the first half. It was the first time for many of you to play, and you had a good relationship with each other.
I’m not familiar with the cooperation. But in the second half of the first half, I obviously saw that your cooperation was much better. Keep working hard in the second half.”
After the start of the second half, the Daqin team continued to maintain its offensive momentum, but it was very difficult to easily break into the Longteng team's penalty area. On the contrary, it was because the Longteng team's players had stronger personal abilities and slowly regained their disadvantage.
The one who took the lead was Xu Mingyu, who had the best integration. As the player with the highest index on the field, Xu Mingyu showed his ability. After continuously creating threats, Xu Mingyu, a young player who returned from studying in Portugal, finally assisted in the 26th minute of the second half.
