124. Warm-up for the second half of the season
As the days passed, the second half of the 2014 Chinese Super League season was about to begin, and Zhang Sheng's training requirements for the team became higher and higher, because the team's run-in was not too successful now. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
After the departure of N'Golo Kante and Riyad Mahrez, the Dragons have also made a big change in the position of players on the field.
First of all, Roque Gill replaced Kante's position, but his interception and sweeping ability has not yet been reflected, and it still takes time to cooperate with Lin Feng and Zhang Hao, the two often played midfielders, and secondly, Mahrez's departure has made the right side vacant, but unfortunately Ben Alfa is a player on the left side, not to mention that he is still in the process of losing weight, although the high-intensity training and the special physical training program of the physical fitness group have made his weight more and more qualified, but he is not qualified to replace Mahrez for the time being.
Zhang Sheng after thinking about it for a while, he threw Pato to the right side, although Pato's performance in the first half of the season was excellent, but in many games, Zhang Sheng still found that he was not very suitable for the middle, he is a player who needs space, and the breakthrough on the side is more in line with his characteristics, but it takes time to adapt to the right side of the middle lane, even if Pato is often active on the right side before, this adaptation period is not a matter of one or two days.
The only thing that makes Zhang Sheng happy is the return of Ivo, after having him in the middle, he no longer needs Lin Feng to run up and down so many distances as before, before the middle was Pato, but Pato does not have much organizational ability, more needs Lin Feng to rush from the position of the back waist to the position of the front waist, this process is a very dangerous process, once Lin Feng's ball is broken, it is easy for the opponent to fight back, after all, he comes up, and the double back waist becomes a single back waist.
Now that Ivo has returned to the middle from injury, his playmaking ability can be reflected, and his ability to intercept can make the midfield's defense even stronger.
It was not until July 10, after the end of the U19 national team's training camp, that the personnel of the Longteng team were really neat, but unfortunately the 18 and 19 young players who returned to the team did not have much opportunity to train the first team, because this season's FA Cup is about to start.
According to the rules, to be the champion of last season's FA Cup, this season's Chinese Super League team, the Longteng team has been involved in this competition since the third round.
It is also the fate of the Longteng team, the previous FA Cup, has always been a high-level league team automatically gets the home field, the team at the same level, the team in the league total points ranking automatically gets the home, that is to say, the more historical, the better the results, the stronger the team has a home advantage, before the Longteng team as a new army, whether it is in the second division, or in the first division, it has always been to go away to challenge the team with more heritage than themselves.
But in the Longteng team, which won the FA Cup championship and surpassed the successful season, the Chinese Football Association changed this rule again!
Previously, the Chinese Football Association's home-and-away selection rule for the FA Cup was unanimously criticized by the outside world, because the competition system favored strong teams, making those low-level teams or weak teams completely perfunctory.
The FA Cup, as a supplement to the national football leagues, has always been a hotbed of underdogs, and it is also a time for low-level teams to rejoice, because it is rare to have a chance to have an official match with those unattainable teams in their country, and the club thinks about whether it can let the fans come to watch the game and make a lot of money on the ticket, and the players want to make a splash on the field to win the favor of the giants, and then brag about it in the future. B, you can also say to others: "I have played a game with a certain star, and it is still an official game." ”
And there are often good stories about the FA Cup in football around the world, such as low-level teams becoming dark horses and high-level teams, for example, in order to solve the dilemma of low-level rival teams going bankrupt, high-level teams donate their ticket revenue to each other, etc.
So this season, the Chinese Football Association made a habitual mistake after synthesizing the opinions of all parties, the Chinese Football Association made a habitual mistake - overkill, just like the later 2017 season of the Chinese Football Association in order to calm the Chinese Super League in the Chinese League to buy foreign aid at a high price, young players have no chance to play, 2 months before the league is about to start, suddenly ordered that only three foreign aid can be played at the same time, and also stipulates that there must be a player in the U23 age group to start, so that the brain-dead policy is the result of overkill.
The same is true this season, in addition to the first round of the game is rookie pecking each other, the Chinese Football Association has taken a draw to decide the home and away, from the second round, the first round of the promotion of the second and amateur teams directly get the home advantage, and when playing with the lower teams, the Super League and the Chinese A teams are not allowed to use foreign aid, to the third round, it is still the team that is promoted directly at home to play, from the fourth round, the specific relationship will be determined according to the established signing, and the winning team in the last round will directly determine the opponent of the game according to the established signing. The clubs with the lowest overall league rankings will give priority to playing at their home stadium, and the semi-finals and finals will be played over two legs, and the home and away matches between the two sides will be determined according to the league level and the ranking of the league in the same league last season.
It can be seen that the low-level team, the weaker team is 100% able to get the home field, such a rule is also a rare move in world football, compared to the developed football countries all rely on the draw to determine the home and away, foreign aid casually on such fair rules, the rules of the Chinese Football Association are still brain-dead policy.
However, such a policy has spawned more upsets, because of the Chinese Football Association's bias towards weak teams, this year's FA Cup participating teams are far more than last year, from 48 last year to 64 this year, amateur teams such grassroots teams reached a record 20, and there are really dark horses, one is Suzhou Jinfu has eliminated Baxi and Liaozu into the top 16, and the other is the famous "Black Club Team" later- Jiangcheng Hongxing, they eliminated the Chinese Super League team SIPG to enter the round of 16 through a penalty shootout, but in the next knockout shootout, they lost to the later semi-final team Qingdao Manatee.
It's just that such a rule is a bitter emerging strong team like the Longteng team, no benefit at all, and a bad condition is a failure, this time the Longteng team drew lots to draw a second team Lijiang Jiayunhao, Longteng team will go to Lijiang, Yunnan to participate in the game.
When it comes to Yunnan football, the first thing that comes to mind for most people is Yunnan Hongta, which is the first top-level league team in Yunnan professional football. At the end of 1997, Yunnan Hongta acquired Shenzhen Jinpeng and obtained the qualification of A B. After 2 years of fighting in the first B, Yunnan Hongta rushed into the first A. In the four seasons of A, Yunnan Hongta won the 7th place for 2 consecutive times, which is the best result of Yunnan football in the professional league.
Just when Yunnan fans were looking forward to the first Chinese Super League team in the history of Yunnan football, Hongta Group announced its withdrawal after the last generation of A, selling the first team and the Chinese Super League qualification to Chongqing Lifan, and Yunnan football became a blank overnight. On February 5, 2004, the relevant parties in Lijiang took over the Hongta reserve team and established the Lijiang Dongba Club with the team as the team, which is known as the "fire of Yunnan football". At that time, Lijiang Dongba was a strong team in the second division of the Chinese league, and reached the final stage for three consecutive years, but in the end it passed by the middle league.
After the dissolution of Lijiang Dongba in 2006, one of the substitute players in the team made up his mind to make sure that his hometown had a decent professional team, and this person was the general manager of Lijiang Taihe Group and Hao Qian, who planned to form Lijiang Jiayunhao Club at the end of 2012.
Zhang Sheng knew that Lijiang Jiayunhao had been fighting in China B since 2013, but when Zhang Sheng led the Longteng team to play in China B, he had come here to play with them, but he didn't win.
Zhang Sheng also knew that in the future, this team reached the finals stage for 3 consecutive years, but all ended in failure. It is worth mentioning that unlike Lijiang Dongba, which failed to break up for 3 consecutive years, Lijiang Jiayunhao persevered and launched an attack on the Chinese League for the 4th consecutive year, and finally succeeded in 2016.
As a rare professional team in southwest China, although Lijiang Jiayunhao is only a team in the second division, this team has a lot of fans, and the ball market is also very hot, Lijiang's home Lijiang Sports Development Center has an attendance rate of more than 10,000 people, and the hot ball market ranks first in the national B league.
This time, the Longteng team as the champion of last season's FA Cup, the top team of the Chinese Super League, their arrival has made the ball market in Yunnan more hot, plus now there are as many as 7 national team players in the Longteng team, and the players of the national echelon are countless, and many fans who usually do not watch the game have also poured into the stadium, so that the stadium, which can only accommodate 30,000 people, is basically crowded.
Originally, Zhang Sheng was going to use this ball to test his new tactics during the break, but the Chinese Football Association stipulated that the Chinese Super League team could not play when facing the Chinese B team, so Zhang Sheng had to give up this idea, and Zhang Sheng could only send an all-Chinese squad to face it.
However, even the lineup of the all-Chinese class is not something that a team like Lijiang Jia Yunhao can compete with, although Lijiang is located in a plateau area, and the physical consumption of players is relatively large, but Zhang Sheng, who has already played in Lijiang before, has already prepared.
Although the fanatical fans in Lijiang did not stop cheering for their home team for a minute, but in the first half, the Longteng team relied on Wen Kai's header to turn the score into 0:1, and after the second half, Zhang Sheng replaced Zou Weijia, and the team still maintained a huge advantage after a young player like Du Zhenyu, Tao Wentao and Ding Huaiyi scored two goals in the second half to turn the score into 0:3, which completely lost the suspense of the game, and finally the game was fixed on the score of 0:3.
The biggest gain of the Longteng team in this game is that Shu Jun played the whole game, and performed very well, and as a substitute goalkeeper, Song Jianhua This game is the first game in history without conceding a goal, it seems that continuous playing and strict training have improved his ability and confidence a lot.
After this game, Zhang Sheng took the team back to Jiangcheng, because a key game of Mars hitting the earth arrived, due to the long break caused by the World Cup, the last game of the first leg of the Chinese Super League was belated, and now the first-ranked Longteng team will face the challenge of the third-ranked Beijing Guoan, which will be a game to determine the top position.
And there are a lot of key games in this round of games, first of all, Guangzhou Evergrande will face Shandong Luneng at home, the collision of the two strong teams ranked second and fifth will also affect the ranking of the top of the Super League and the ranking of the AFC Champions League qualification, and there is also a high-profile game that Guangzhou R&F will face Jiangsu Shuntian, which is also the competition between the sixth-ranked team and the seventh-ranked team, their goal will be the position of the AFC Champions League qualification, even if several teams are desperate, because the bottom few teams have also met together, at this time they should all start fighting for relegationIt's going to be an exciting weekend for fans who have been away from the league for a long time.
Zhang Sheng, who led the team back to Jiangcheng, began to observe the attributes of himself and the players in the system and prepare for next season.
First of all, Zhang Sheng saw his attributes:

In this intermission training camp, Zhang Sheng used up all his tactical forming accelerators, whether it was intermediate or senior Zhang Sheng, all of them were thrown to the team, in order to let the two new foreign aides quickly integrate into the team, and now it does play a certain role, even the assistant coach Schurrle was surprised that Zhang Sheng was able to knead the team so quickly, only Zhang Sheng himself shook his head silently in his heart, because the current situation of the team is far from achieving the effect that Zhang Sheng is satisfied with, and in the next few games, he can only rely on the strong ability index of the players。
