When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game and the score was fixed at 0:0, it was not Eriksen, who was glad that his team was suppressed on the sidelines, but the head coach Zhang Sheng, who had always dominated the field. Who knows if you keep playing, how many people will be left on the field?

Erikson is very good at being a person, he took the initiative to come to Zhang Sheng's side, held Zhang Sheng's hand, hugged Zhang Sheng and comforted him: "Look at the point, the world is impermanent." Hopefully your players are not seriously injured and can recover as soon as possible. ”

What else can Zhang Sheng say: "Thank you." Thank you for your concern. ”

At the post-match press conference, the injury of the Longteng players became a topic that could not be avoided, and reporters asked about it.

"The team has had a very busy schedule lately. My players often have two or even three matches a week, not only for the club but also for the national team, and they are so tired. Zhang Sheng gave an explanation.

But the reporter didn't let Zhang Sheng go so easily: "Some people have questioned the Longteng team's tactical play is too aggressive, resulting in a high probability of injury to the players, what do you think?"

"Everyone knows how intense the Super League is. In the European leagues, they are more intense than we are, and it is rare for them to be like us, with four players injured in one game. Zhang Sheng was very unhappy, so he simply made it clear and said: "I have been in contact with the relevant departments, hoping that they will be more scientific and humane in the formulation of the schedule." Regardless of Europe, our two neighbours, Japan and South Korea, have more advanced fixtures in the J-League and K-League. We still have a lot to learn and improve!"

When the media in Jiangcheng asked about the injuries of the three people, Zhang Sheng gave the answer: "It will take 2-3 months for Xiang Tiange, and it will take at least a month for Ni Kai and Cao Jinghao." ”

This answer caused a sigh in the room, and it was clear that everyone was also worried about these players.

The heavy loss of the Longteng team made everyone feel that the championship battle that was originally the least suspenseful has become unpredictable again.

The next day, Guangzhou Evergrande's home match against Shanghai Shenhua also became more eye-catching.

What I never expected was that the match between Evergrande and Shenhua made everyone stunned.

The game was surprising, not that there was something like Shenhua's big win over Evergrande away from home, and in the first half of the season, Shenhua defeated Evergrande 2-1 on its home stadium, and it is not incomprehensible to win again.

The current situation is that Guangzhou Evergrande defeated Shanghai Shenhua at home, but they are the same as the Longteng team - three players were injured, and all of them were not lightly injured.

is similar to the Longteng team's injuries are mostly fullbacks, and Evergrande's injuries are all left wingbacks, from Li Xuepeng who started to Chen Zepeng on the bench, and then Jin Yingquan, who made a cameo before the end, all the games were scrapped.

Speaking of the curse of Evergrande's left-back, it can be described as a more terrifying existence than the wingback of the Longteng team.

At the beginning of the season, Zou Zheng avoided the broken leg of the Club World Cup in history, but did not avoid the broken leg in the league, and then Rong Hao, Jin Yingquan and Liu Jian were injured one after another, and when Jin Yingquan returned from injury, Li Xuepeng, Chen Zepeng and Jin Yingquan were wiped out in this game, so that Evergrande's left-back has the potential to become a black hole for players.

After the game, Scolari reported the injuries of three players - Kim Young-kwon's season reimbursement, Li Xuepeng and Chen Zepeng were both at least a month - which was even worse than the Longteng team.

If you count Nie Jiang, who has just returned from injury, De Paul, who was injured but did not play, Zengcheng, who was injured in the national team game, and the Shuangxiong Longteng team and Guangzhou Evergrande of the Chinese Super League injured nearly ten people at once during this time, such a situation is too rare.

After Zhang Sheng complained about the schedule after the game the day before, the veteran coach Scolari did not let it go: "Chinese football is growing rapidly, but there are some things that must keep up, and the schedule is a big problem. ”

After the end of this round of games, the happiest should be Shanghai SIPG, at home to draw Longteng team to get a point, AFC Champions League qualification rival Shenhua lost again, they are one point higher than Shenhua, logically occupy a strong position.

Of course, they can't be happy too early, in the remaining four rounds of the league, they have to play against Suning, Luneng, Evergrande and Huaxia Happiness in a row, these teams, either strong, or for the championship and relegation in the effort, compared to Shenhua after the four games of Jianye, Guoan is hopeless in the AFC Champions League, relegation worry-free team, much more difficult.

The Longteng team and Guangzhou Evergrande, which are competing for the championship, have narrowed the point gap between the two sides to 4 points, and there are still four rounds of games left, and Evergrande still has a chance.

Considering the last four games of the Longteng team, Shijiazhuang Yongchang, Yanbian Fude, Jiangsu Suning and Luneng, and Yongchang and Luneng need to work hard for relegation, Yanbian and Suning have no relegation pressure in the middle of the stream, and a AFC Champions League qualification is stable, without the pressure of winning the championship, with the strength of the Longteng team, the schedule is acceptable. Of course, the impact of the national team on the Longteng team must be taken into account, and the injury of the players will also become another hidden danger.

On Guangzhou Evergrande's side, the opponents in the last four games are Yanbian Fude, Huaxia Happiness, Shanghai SIPG and Chongqing Lifan. Regardless of the first two, the latter two opponents, one for the AFC Champions League qualification and the other for relegation, it is certain that they will not give an inch.

From these circumstances, the difficulty of the schedule between the two sides is roughly the same, and the impact of the national team is about the same, and the competition is who is more resilient and can finish better.

As for relegation, this year's relegation situation is a mess, and even former giants like Shandong Luneng have fallen into this circle, which is unexpected by many fans.

As of this round, Changchun Yatai and Shijiazhuang Yongchang, ranked in the last two, they have a 4-point gap with the third-to-last Hangzhou Greentown, and the most dangerous, Chongqing Lifan, which has the same score as Hangzhou Greentown, is one point higher than Greentown and Lifan, Shandong Luneng is also difficult to hide safety, as for Liaoning Hongyun, which has an area of 30 points, this is a relegation veteran athlete, and it is not a big problem.

Compared with some predictions and prospects in the league, the media is now more concerned about the three games that will be played soon, one is the derby of the semi-finals of the Chinese AFC Champions League to be staged in three days - Longteng team away to Guangzhou Evergrande, and the last two are the national team home against Syria in the round of 12 on October 6 and Uzbekistan away on October 11.

What impact will the large-scale injuries of Longteng and Guangzhou Evergrande have on the game, and whether the game between the two teams will affect the next national team competition, has been repeatedly discussed by the media.

The comparison of the strength of the teams of the Chinese Super League has always been the most concerned and interesting issue for everyone.

The introduction of Diego Costa during the league break has become the most commendable thing on the side of Guangzhou Evergrande, before he came, Evergrande's attack was weak and weak, and the weakness of the front led to greater pressure in the midfield, and Paulinho could not withdraw more to participate in the attack.

It all came to an abrupt end when Diego Costa arrived at Guangzhou Evergrande.

With the beauty of the prosperous age, Scarari's dream of the center forward tactics have been reflected, Costa not only activated the attack of Guangzhou Evergrande, Paulinho in addition to defense, has a lot of time to participate in the attack, his back row plugged into the nightmare of the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League opponents, Costa attracts firepower and makes balls, Goulart is also like a fish in water, repeatedly destroying the city, and the nickname has become "fat boss" has become "high spicy strip".

These are reflected in the data, that is, Guangzhou Evergrande's total number of goals has gone from seven behind the Longteng team to three more now.

Reflected in the national team, Paulinho was re-called up to the Brazilian team, and has been in the starting position, helping the Brazilian team to win consecutive matches against Ecuador and Colombia in the South American qualifiers for the World Cup.

Even if De Paul returned from injury in this game, the outside world has always believed that Guangzhou Evergrande's Diego Costa Goulart's offensive combination is stronger than Chavez-Niejiang-De Paul on the Longteng side.

In the midfield, Paulinho's excellent performance during this period has raised everyone's expectations, and at the same time, Scolari has slowly solved the problem of the coexistence of Zheng Zhi and Lin Feng, Lin Feng temporarily recognized Zheng Zhi's dominance of the midfield and was willing to act as a green leaf.

Evergrande's midfield configuration, the media gave the opinion that Paulinho Zheng Zhi - Lin Feng - Gao Lin and Longteng De Paul Roque Gil - Tao Wentao - Qi Ming - Huang He are probably equal, or even slightly higher.

The only problem that still plagues Guangzhou Evergrande is their backline and goalkeepers.

After three consecutive kills in the last game, now Evergrande's left-back only Zou Zheng, who has just been seriously injured for half a year before returning to the reserve team to adapt to the game, can he go on, what should the left-back do?

On the back line, the outside world has always thought that the Longteng team is self-abandoning martial arts, abandoning the quota of the Asian foreign country, and playing chess to make a cannon, but in this specific game, Jin Yingquan fractured the fibula of the lower leg in the last game, and has returned to South Korea for surgery, and the recovery period of up to six months, Guangzhou Evergrande is also equivalent to one less Asian foreign country, which is the same as the Longteng team.

Judging from Evergrande's current defensive configuration, the starters from right to left should be Shu Jun, Mei Fang, Feng Xiaoting, and Zou Zheng, which is a passable combination.

However, the substitute is miserable, the "source emperor" Wang Shangyuan, who has been criticized, is already the most reliable substitute, but he can only solve the problem of the substitute for the right back, the left back is still no one, as for the center back, Han Pengfei and Hu Ruibao are substitutes, not to mention in Evergrande, it is difficult to play in any Chinese Super League team.

When it comes to the goalkeeper position, Evergrande's biggest loophole at this stage comes out.

Liu Dianzuo, the substitute goalkeeper of Evergrande, is in a special position, and the opportunity to play is very rare, and the process of his transfer to Evergrande is more tortuous, according to his actual level, it is difficult to be worthy of the Evergrande team - he was originally driven down from the main position by the substitute goalkeeper Cheng Yuelei in Guangzhou R&F, Evergrande wanted him because Li Shuai was old and insisted on leaving, and the substitute goalkeeper could not buy someone to buy him.

His characteristics are extremely distinct: quick reactions, good bounce, and a wide range of goal coverage, but more often than not.

The first is the low-level mistakes that have been repeatedly questioned, and the ten wonderful saves in the goalkeeper position are far less than the solid twelve solid saves, and he has also been questioned for match-fixing because of the low-level mistakes that occur from time to time.

Secondly, he has all the common problems of all Chinese players - poor foundation. Some of his mistakes were when he lost the ball because of the wrong hand shape due to a poor foundation.

Finally, there is a difference between a general goalkeeper and an excellent goalkeeper, and the accuracy of his big kick shot is really low.

Even the level of a second goalkeeper like Liu Dianzuo is so average, and his substitute Fang Jingqi in this game is even worse.

The media also generally believes that Evergrande's combination of four defenders and goalkeepers is far inferior to the defense line composed of three national team main level central defenders and national team goalkeeper level Huang Dawei.

When it comes to substitutes, Evergrande is also able to fight Huang Bowen and Zheng Long, compared with the Longteng team bench composed of national team + National Olympic players, the gap is too big.

This pure comparison of player fame and personal ability in the media is of course a gimmick, after all, the game is also affected by the recent form of the players on both sides, the team's tactical play and other factors, but for ordinary fans, this simple and crude comparison will make them like it more.

The real insider is in a state of confusion at this time.

The second day of the match with Shanghai SIPG ended.

Just after breakfast early in the morning, the club's bus was ready, and the players who had a rare day off returned to the training base one after another, and Zhang Sheng was ready to fly to Guangzhou with the team, and the team's leader Yu Jie sat down: "In the quarterfinals of the Asian Junior Championship last night, the national youth side advanced. ”

"Oh. That's good. How many?" Zhang Sheng asked, "There was something at home yesterday, and I didn't see it." ”

“2:1。 Yu Jie replied while fiddling with the seat belt on the chair, "Wang Xing has an assist. ”

"Arranged to be followed?" Zhang Sheng thought for a moment.

Yu Jie quickly reacted, Wang Xing's consecutive goals were interrupted, and he should have asked him about his situation: "Yes." At least two people on the North Korean side have been following Wang Xing. However, there were still assists, no deaths. ”

"His height is too big for his age group. "The fact that he can also send assists under the defense of the two people in the whole court shows that Wang Xing not only has a body, but also uses his body very smartly, which is a good phenomenon, "Next year's World Junior Championships will still be in India, right?

"Yes. This year's Asian Junior Championships are in India, and next year's World Junior Championships are also in India. We eliminated North Korea, and no matter what the results of the competition were, we have already entered next year's World Junior Championships. Yu Jie replied happily.

The two were chatting, and suddenly Zhang Sheng's phone rang, and the number showed that it was Chen Lin's number, which was the reporter of Jiangcheng Metropolis Daily in the Longteng team, and Zhang Sheng was still very polite to these half of his own people.

"What advice does reporter Chen Da have? Zhang Sheng joked.

"Congratulations to the Asian Junior Championship, Wang Xing performed well. Chen Lin's happy laughter came from the phone.

"Just for this? Zhang Sheng quipped.

"Ugh. There's something I'm going to pass on here. Chen Lin was a little speechless and stopped, "Someone from the Hubei Provincial Football Association called me yesterday and wanted to ask the day after tomorrow and Evergrande's AFC Champions League, how is the player's physical condition, will he be injured?"

"Huh?" Zhang Sheng heard something else.

Chen Lin seemed to have made up his mind, let out a sigh, and continued: "Now that the team has so many injuries, let's see if the game the day after tomorrow can be stable." The Provincial Football Association also conveys the meaning of others. Evergrande estimates that there are also people who will communicate. ”

"......", a group of crows flew by in Zhang Sheng's heart, "This is to be ordered to fight fakes?"
