13. Security Shortlisted
Zhang Chen opened his mouth for a long time and couldn't close it, and only after coming over for a long time did he point at Zhang Sheng and said: "Don't tell me if you have such a good way, you see how poor I have become, I still want to change your sister-in-law's car, I have no money, how to say, a new Maserati, your sister-in-law has been looking at it for a while, when the time comes, you can borrow me first, and pay you back when I have money." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Zhang Sheng hurriedly said: "If my sister-in-law likes it, I should buy a gift for her to make a birthday gift, anyway, her birthday is coming, and she can't borrow anything." ”
Zhang Chen had a flattering smile on his face: "Brother, you are still interesting enough." ”
Zhang Zhijun frowned a little dissatisfied, obviously he didn't like Zhang Chen's style of burning money like this, but the eldest son borrowed the money from the second son, and the second son had no opinion, so it was not easy for him to break it.
Zhang Zhijun could only say: "If you have confidence in investment, I support you, but you still have to be cautious, and you have to plan well if you have money, especially if the club spends money so much, you have to be prepared." ”
Of course, Zhang Sheng was embarrassed to say that he could guarantee the club's expenses for a year by selling a domestic player in the future, but in the face of his father's concern, he could only quickly nod and say, "I know, Dad." The club's funding is fine. ”
Zhang Zhijun shook his head a little meaningfully and said: "Hey, I really have the feeling of getting an axe in the class to tell you this, you have done a good job, and you are already better than everyone." ”
Zhang Zhijun's words made Zhang Sheng have mixed feelings, thinking about the distrust of his father when he just returned to China, and now, his father has personally admitted that the management of football is far inferior to himself, Zhang Sheng can finally say in front of his father that he really understands football and really loves football.
Of course, Zhang Sheng, the face of his father, must be given: "Dad, don't look at it, I play football is what you let me learn since I was a child, or the door of football that you led me into. ”
Although he knew that Zhang Sheng was talking nonsense, Zhang Zhijun still said with a rare smile: "Don't pat me on the back, I don't have the money to help you if I shoot your father now." ”
Zhang Chen also grimaced at Zhang Sheng while squeezing his eyebrows.
Soon the second round of the AFC Champions League East Asia qualifier arrived, and on February 10, the Longteng team welcomed their opponents, the Singapore Warriors, at the Jiangcheng Sports Complex.
Although the outside media hyped this team very much, and it was also known as a Super League nemesis or something, Zhang Sheng didn't take it seriously at all, because just look at their results.
Although all their AFC Champions League points are obtained from Chinese teams, in the 2009 season they drew 1:1 at home to Shenhua, and in the 2010 season they eliminated Henan Jianye 0:0 away and 2:1 at home, but it is still difficult to escape the fate of two AFC Champions League group exits.
In Zhang Sheng's view, Ivo's level in the AFC Champions League is still weaker, he is more suitable for the Chinese Super League, not to mention that he is not very suitable for Zhang Sheng's tactics, the team's focus on cultivating the front waist or midfielder players are also domestic players, and Ivo must also play as the fourth foreign aid.
Because of the selection of the National Olympic team, the Longteng team only had Nie Jiang as a choice on the front line in this game, and Zhang Sheng insisted on the previous style of play without a striker in Europe, and let Nie Jiang temporarily sit on the bench. The midfield arranges Pato, Ben Alpha, Tao Wentao, Yao Tian, Lin Feng, Roque Gill, followed by Zhou Zhou, McGovern, Ma Yongli, Lu Zhihui, and the goalkeeper is Zhou Wei.
After intensive training in Europe, the Longteng team did not give the Singapore Warriors a chance on the court at all, and in the first half, the Longteng team relied on two assists from Tao Wentao to allow Pato and Ben Alpha to score a goal and lead 2:0.
After taking the lead, the Longteng team made substitutions at the beginning of the second half, Nie Jiang participated in the AFC Champions League for the first time as a player registered this season, and even the commentator who was responsible for commenting the game also introduced him: "This is a talented player cultivated by the youth echelon of the Longteng team, he has broken the goal record in the history of the Chinese Super League reserve team, let us look forward to his AFC Champions League debut." ”
After Nie Jiang came on the field, he replaced Yao Tian's position, his position on the field was not too fixed, and he often switched positions with Pato, Ben Alpha, and even Tao Wentao through frequent cross-running, which was equivalent to constantly switching from the position of forward, winger, and forward waist.
In the face of the frequent changes in the front court of the Longteng team, the Singapore Warriors held on for ten minutes in the second half, and the goal was lost again, and it was Nie Jiang who scored.
The commentator couldn't wait to send all the words of praise to Nie Jiang: "This player born on February 11, 1998, will only turn 17 tomorrow, but today he has scored an AFC Champions League goal for the team, which is also the youngest goalscorer in the history of the AFC Champions League, he is younger than the Japanese player Takashi Usami, who represented Gamba Osaka in the AFC Champions League at the age of 17 years and 14 days and scored goals, and now this title belongs to us Chinese, and it is Nie Jiang who broke this record." ”
After scoring the goal, Nie Jiang ran to Zhang Sheng quickly, and then jumped on Zhang Sheng's body.
Zhang Sheng also patted him happily and said, "Come on, play hard, your mother is watching from the sidelines." ”
Because the opponent in this game is really ordinary, there are not many fans who come to watch the game, only more than 2w people came, Nie Jiang looked up and saw his mother sitting on the sidelines looking at him, he hurriedly waved to his mother.
Nie's mother had tears in her eyes, and she was very familiar with football, of course she knew what Nie Jiang's goal meant - her son was indeed a genius, this was the way he should go, and she should be infinitely supportive of what he did.
Nie Jiang's goal also ushered in a discussion from fans on the sidelines, and one of the fans said to his friend with a satisfied expression: "Can I tell others in the future that we are watching how a talented player grows?"
The friend next to him who watched the game had a "you know my heart" expression.
Nie Jiang's goal was not the end of the Longteng team's attack.
In the twentieth minute of the second half, the Longteng team scored again, this time it was Tao Wentao who scored, which was also Tao Wentao's first AFC Champions League goal, and he seemed more excited than Nie Jiang after the goal.
Although Nie Jiang's football road is bumpy, after all, it is only for family reasons, while Tao Wentao is deeply troubled by his body, his football road can be said to be composed of blood and tears, countless injuries, countless times to stand up again, until Zhang Sheng sent him to the United States for treatment, he can be regarded as living a normal life.
Now Tao Wentao has initially fulfilled his original promise to Zhang Sheng: "I will use my efforts to repay the club." ”
Zhang Sheng also gave a thumbs up to Tao Wentao's goal on the sidelines.
The Longteng team, which led 4:0, has completely entered the next round, and Zhang Sheng has also started his own substitution journey, the first to be replaced is Pato, and the right midfielder Zhu Xuhe, who has returned to the team this season, has been on the field.
Next, Zhang Sheng replaced Lu Zhihui with Wei Zhimin, completing three substitutions.
Even so, the Longteng team still firmly controlled the situation on the field, especially in the last minute of the game, Wei Zhimin's breakthrough on the side gave Nie Jiang a good ball, and Nie Jiang grabbed the point after a deft run in the penalty area, scoring twice to turn the score into 5:0.
Seeing Nie Jiang's goal, Zhang Sheng knew that his road to stardom had officially started.
This game would not have attracted much attention, after all, it was a qualifying match for the AFC Champions League, and it was against a team from Singapore, but Nie Jiang's performance made this game very topical after the game.
After the game, countless media touted Nie Jiang, all kinds of geniuses, the name of tomorrow's star was put on him without money anyway, and Zhang Sheng blushed when he looked at some words.
On the contrary, Nie Jiang behaved very indifferently after the game, according to his words: "What are the opponents yesterday? When I get to the AFC Champions League knockout stage, I can still have two games in a game, and then I can be considered passing. ”
Hearing Nie Jiang's domineering and obviously rational words, Zhang Sheng was very happy, this child has grown up, and he does have his own ideas.
When countless reporters ran to Jiangcheng to interview Nie Jiang and dig up the news, they found that they had fallen short, because Zhang Sheng had already taken the team to Australia to participate in the third round of the AFC Champions League.
Because Australia is so far away, Zhang Sheng flew over with the whole team the day after the team's game, and this time the Dragons were facing the Central Coast Mariners of the Australian Super League.
The Central Coast Mariners are a traditional powerhouse in the Australian Super League, and they basically have the ability to compete for the championship or league championship and runner-up every year, although they have not won many championships, but their strength cannot be denied.
In this game, the Longteng team lined up a lineup similar to the previous game, the only difference was that Zhang Hao replaced Lin Feng to play the back, so the main purpose was to let him strengthen the interception in the midfield.
And Zhang Hao did not disappoint Zhang Sheng, in the midfield he used a body stronger than the Australian to make the opponent at a loss, and the midfield barrier formed by him and Roque Gill made the waist of the Longteng team very hard.
If it is just defense, it will not reflect the advantages of the Longteng team, the real advantage of the Longteng team lies in their passing and receiving coordination, which is due to the intensive training of passing and receiving during this time, so that the back-back players who look very rough like Zhang Hao also have enough passing and receiving ability, especially in the face of Australian teams with rougher skills such as the Central Coast Mariners, Zhang Hao even has a feeling of a technical flow player.
In the 18th minute of the first half, Zhang Hao passed the ball out in a timely manner in the face of the opponent's pressing, although it seems that the posture of the pass is clumsy, but the strength and accuracy of the pass are exactly the same, Yao Tian, who came to receive the ball, was very comfortable with the ball, and he didn't even need to turn around to accelerate along the ball.
When facing the tall Australian players, Yao Tian played his short stature, low center of gravity, and flexible turning, when he made two consecutive emergency stops to change backwards, followed by the opponent's back waist lost the center of gravity, and saw that Pato had begun to insert the penalty area into the ribs between the opponent's central defenders and fullbacks, Yao Tian also passed his ball out in time.
Pato, who attracted all the attention of the opponent, did not rush to shoot after entering the penalty area, but crossed the ball to the middle, and Ben Alfa, who had successfully exchanged positions with Tao Wentao, had been waiting in the middle for a long time, and he easily shot with his feet to make the score 0:1.
After taking the lead in the score, the Longteng team did not weaken the intensity of the game, but continued their full-court pressing and fast passing style of play, so that the Central Coast Mariners were suppressed very much.
Even the commentator in charge of the commentary said: "The Dragons are completely anti-guest-oriented, and the Central Coast Mariners seem to be a little uncomfortable with such a high-level pressing and fast passing to play with the ground, which is very awkward, except for driving forward in the backfield, there is no other offensive means." ”
However, this game is the home of the Central Coast Mariners after all, they used the home advantage to defuse the Dragons' attack with fouls many times, but even their head coach knows that this is only a temporary expedient measure, and the home court advantage is also limited.
Sure enough, in the second half, the referee couldn't hold back the continuous fouls of the Central Coast Mariners, and he showed three yellow cards to the Central Coast Mariners players in a row.
The players of the Central Coast Mariners, who were afraid of receiving the yellow card, were soon hit again, and Yao Tian, who performed well throughout the game, also scored his first AFC Champions League goal in the 57th minute, and the score became 0:2.
At this time, Zhang Sheng also asked the players to appropriately reduce the pace of the game, and they still had to save some face for others at other people's home stadiums, once they angered the opponent, it would not be cost-effective to hurt their own players.
The Longteng team slowed down their rhythm, but unfortunately the opponent seemed to have been blinded, making continuous mistakes on the field, even if Zhang Sheng replaced a number of young players in a row, they still did not take any advantage, but before the end of the game, the back players of the Mariners team suddenly passed back to their goalkeeper with an ultra-long distance without warning, and the completely unsuspecting goalkeeper watched the ball fly into his own net.
This foot hanging door is so beautiful, Zhang Sheng on the sidelines has to be stunned by this own goal.
Many fans at home even covered their faces sadly, because they really didn't have a face to see people.
In the end, the game also ended with a score of 0:3, and the Longteng team effortlessly crossed the AFC Champions League qualifying match and entered the main match of the AFC Champions League for the second consecutive year, and this year's Longteng team was placed in Group F, and the opponents in the team were Gamba Osaka, Seongnam FC and Buriram United.
After this game, Zhang Zhijun and Zhang Chen were also relieved that they could safely enter the AFC Champions League, and the club had initially met their expectations.
