65. Pre-match encounters

This is also Zhang Sheng's last trick, when most of the team's players are not in shape, the value of the star's individual ability should be reflected, fortunately Kante and Pato did not disappoint Zhang Sheng, one in the backfield after the ball broke forward and passed, one in the front court after the ball to use their own personal ability to score, this goal is likely to be for the Longteng team in exchange for a valuable 1 point.

Sure enough, in the next game, Zhang Sheng replaced Lin Feng with Zhang Hao, which greatly strengthened the midfield defense, and Eriksen also replaced Larsson with Wang Xiaolong to strengthen the attack, but unfortunately the hot weather helped the Longteng team at this time, and the R&F team players who had played for nearly 90 minutes did not have the physical strength to attack, they were more likely to use the periphery of the long shot to solve the problem, this is purely in the lottery, just open it, and there is no follow-up means if it is not opened, but their luck is not very good, most of the long shots were stopped by the Longteng team, even if there was a successful long shot was saved by Zhou Wei。 The final match also ended 1:1.

It should be said that this point is very lucky, and the ups and downs of young players still need Zhang Shengduo to adjust them.

However, compared to the luck of the Longteng team, there is another team that is even more lucky, that is, Qin Minghao and Li Yun's Red Bull Salzburg, after they defeated Valencia 3-0 at home, they thought they would advance to the semi-finals very smoothly, but unfortunately the players who were too relaxed were abused very badly in Valencia.

In the 90 minutes of the regular game, Valencia, who fought against the water, set off waves of offensive in the singing of the home fans, and the La Liga team, which has always been the home dragon and away bug, gave full play to the home advantage, in the first half Valencia scored twice by AlcΓ‘cer to turn the aggregate score into 2:3, and in the second half, Valencia made persistent efforts by Vargas to expand the score to 3:0, and the two sides also equalized on the aggregate score.

Red Bull Salzburg managed to maintain the aggregate score of 3:3 until extra time, but the players who were dizzy at the beginning of extra time made another mistake, and the main defender Ilsanke received a second yellow card and was sent off, and Red Bull lost into a desperate situation.

At this time, Li Yun's ferocity that is not afraid of heaven and earth was stimulated, he launched an attack from the back line without anyone expecting it, Qin Minghao mustered up his last strength to help him attack to the front, and got a rare free kick opportunity in the frontcourt, and finally Li Yun himself completed the goal with a header in the penalty area, and the Red Bulls led with a total score of 4:3.

After taking the lead, the Red Bull team retreated across the board, and Valencia, who was red-eyed, attacked with all their might, which led to Qin Minghao being tackled by the opponent in the game, and the opponent was directly sent out with a red card, Qin Minghao had to rest for at least more than 1 month this time before he could play again.

When the number of players on both sides was equal, the Red Bulls finally kept the victory, but this victory paid a heavy price, Qin Minghao bid farewell to this season's game as the absolute midfield core of the second half of the season, and the main defender was also banned for 1 game, including two other players who are also yellow card suspension, facing another La Liga opponent Sevilla in the next game, the Red Bull team should have little hope.

Zhang Sheng also knows that it is difficult for the Red Bull team to go further, because they are encountering the Sevilla team that turned the Europa League into the "Sevilla Europa League", and in the next three years, Sevilla won three Europa League titles in a row with the cycle of third in the Champions League group - entering the Europa League - winning the Europa League - entering the Champions League - third in the Champions League group.

Zhang Sheng hurriedly called him to inquire after seeing Qin Minghao's injury, and after learning that Qin Minghao was already healing, he heard on the phone that Qin Minghao's mental strength was not bad, and Li Yun was relieved on the side, which could be regarded as a little relieved.

In addition, Zhang Sheng also has a very important game to prepare for, that is, on April 15, the Longteng team will welcome the challenge of Kawasaki Frontale in the group stage of the AFC Champions League at home, and the Longteng team is not in good shape now.

After the game, Zhang Sheng called up the system as soon as possible, because Lin Feng and Ding Huaiyi both had abnormal performances in the last game, and it happened that both of them had just increased their potential value, which couldn't help but make Zhang Sheng wonder if the system was doing the trick.

Sure enough, the system girl gave an explanation, and the statement given by the system was the same as Zhang Sheng's idea, that is, they needed to strengthen training again to adjust their state, in the face of this news, Zhang Sheng was mixed with joy and sorrow, and the joy was that if Lin Feng and Ding Huaiyi could pass this hurdle, their ability would be qualitatively improved, and there would be more help to the team in the future;

In the position of left midfielder, Ding Huaiyi's position is now replaced by Yu Bo and even Mahrez, and Lin Feng is a little blind here, now Ivo is still recovering from injury, Tao Wentao does not meet the requirements of the core of the midfield whether it is ability or cooperation with teammates, as for substitutes like Xiong Jian, Zhang Hao is not as good as Tao Wentao.

Now Zhang Sheng can only have two choices, one is to continue to let Lin Feng play the main force, adhere to the current tactics, and then bet on Lin Feng's own adjustment to the state, the other is to adjust the current tactics, let Lin Feng play as a substitute, and then use Zhang Hao to play the back to be responsible for interception and sweeping, and Kante to be responsible for organization in the back position.

There are pros and cons to these two methods, the first one allows Lin Feng to quickly adjust his state, but he has to endure the team's average performance on the field and even the danger of losing, and the other method can make the team's performance on the field stable, and there will be no mistakes on the defensive end, but it is not so easy to win, after all, Kante has the strength to organize the back, but this style of play has little run-in, and there is no guarantee that the team will win.

For betting or winning or losing, or betting on the team to keep the draw and win, Zhang Sheng still has more compromises with reality, in the face of a game of such a level as the AFC Champions League, Zhang Sheng conservatively chose the second type, and the first type Zhang Sheng is ready to be used in the league.

So Zhang Sheng could only find an excuse and said to Lin Feng: "You have to be mentally prepared. Now your state is a little problematic, it may be that your strength has reached the bottleneck period of improvement, and you need to spend a lot of effort in the usual training, but the game can only put you in the league, and the AFC Champions League may play as a substitute, once your state stabilizes and your strength has improved, I will still let you play the main team. ”

Lin Feng is still convinced of Zhang Sheng's words, after all, Zhang Sheng said before the season that he would let him play the main force, and he would spend a lot of effort to transform him into a player in the middle of the midfield, and his role in the team is greater, Zhang Sheng did what he said, even if Lin Feng played averagely, Zhang Sheng insisted on letting him be on the field. So now Zhang Sheng said that his strength will improve, and he may be in an unstable state for a while, Lin Feng also firmly believes it, and he is also very much looking forward to what his strength will be like after he improves.

Although he was a little disappointed that he couldn't play the main team in the AFC Champions League, Lin Feng still nodded and said: "I will work hard in training, the AFC Champions League is too important, and I don't want to affect the team because of my state, I am very satisfied that you can use the league to hone my growth." ”

Zhang Sheng said apologetically: "You don't have to worry, I will arrange the coaching staff to give you special training, this time will not be too long, I believe that we have no problem qualifying for the AFC Champions League, when it comes to the knockout stage of the AFC Champions League, you must also be in stable condition, and you will have more opportunities to perform." ”

For his own words, Zhang Sheng is still very confident, after all, the special training of the coaching staff and the growth accelerator of senior players he used for Lin Feng will greatly shorten the time for Lin Feng to break through, and when it comes to the AFC Champions League knockout stage, Lin Feng, whose strength has been improved, just has a stage to play his ability.

After comforting Lin Feng, Zhang Sheng directly found Ding Huaiyi and said to Ding Huaiyi Zhang Sheng very directly: "You are now honing both physically and technically, your performance on the field some time ago made many teams wary of you, and it is unlikely that you will use feints to go to each other in the future, which requires you to play more reasonably, feints more suddenly, and cooperate more well." A big reason why you play is that you are familiar with the routines, if you make the combination of your body and the ball better, how to cooperate with your teammates more skillfully is the task that you need to solve urgently in the lower end of the time, as for the distribution of physical fitness on the field, you can increase your experience with the subsequent games. During this time, I will arrange the coaching staff to give you special training, and play as a substitute for a period of time in the AFC Champions League. ”

If Lin Feng still had a little opinion on Zhang Sheng, Ding Huaiyi was obedient to Zhang Sheng, and he quickly nodded and said, "Okay, I will cooperate with the coaching staff." ”

Zhang Sheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "I believe in your perseverance, this little difficulty is a piece of cake compared to your previous difficulties, I am optimistic about you, continue to work hard." ”

As Zhang Sheng's brainless fan, Ding Huaiyi suddenly felt full of confidence, after all, Zhang Sheng can change himself from a person who can't play football at all to a professional football player who is unanimously shouted to join the national team, and now it is easy to help himself through this small difficulty.

Soon the AFC Champions League game is coming, this time Kawasaki Frontale's head coach Kazama Yahiro is a lot more low-key, in the pre-game interview with reporters, Kazama Hachihiro boasted about the strength of Jiangcheng Longteng: "I think our opponent is a stronger team than Guangzhou Evergrande, they have superstars like Pato, and the best young players in China, they play the mainstream tactics of Europe, and at the same time, Longteng's home stadium is also the famous devil's home stadium, they have never lost in their home stadium, this time we are very satisfied to be able to score points." ”

Zhang Sheng, on the other hand, boasted before the game: "Although we just finished an important Chinese Super League a few days ago, and we have some physical difficulties in our team now, I believe in the quality of my players, they will give a good game." ”

But when it came to the tactical arrangements before the game, Zhang Sheng unexpectedly said to the players: "In this game, we focus on defending steadily, and we are not in a hurry to attack." Zhang Hao, you are responsible for interceptions and tackles in the midfield this starter, and use your good physical fitness and excellent running ability to help Kante eliminate all the hidden dangers in the midfield. N'Golo Kante, your main task in the midfield position is to link up the midfield and strengthen the attack, so I'm very optimistic about your ability to organise the attack and it's time to let others know what you're really capable of. ”

Zhang Hao, who has been placed in the main lineup by Zhang Sheng in training in the past few days, secretly clenched his fists, the coach's previous signal was very clear, but to start in the AFC Champions League again, Zhang Hao was still very excited, he hurriedly said: "Coach, I promise to complete the task." ”

N'Golo Kante was rather nonchalant: "I'll do my best." ”

Then Zhang Sheng said to Bo: "Yu Bo, you are the starter this time." It's not a strong team and I'm sure you can crush them on the wings. Remember! Use it more on the field. After speaking, Zhang Sheng pointed to his head, "Remember what I told you before, it's good to have momentum, but don't rush forward with a single tendon, be rigid and soft." ”

Yu Bo, who had been placed on the bench by Zhang Sheng before, nodded hurriedly and said, "I will, coach." ”

Next, Zhang Sheng pierced Hachihiro Kazama's smoke bomb: "Don't be carried away by the previous boasting of the opposing head coach. Don't look at Kawasaki Frontale's bad results at the beginning of the season, now they are in a winning streak and the momentum is very strong. Don't look at him so low-key this time, but I don't know how to beat us in my heart. We can't take this medicine, we have to stick to our style of play during the game, I'm sure they'll be surprised. ”

Zhang Sheng's words actually point out the current situation of Kawasaki Frontale, in the first 6 games of the season this season, Kawasaki Frontale did not win 1 and had a 4-game losing streak. But since March 23, when FC Tokyo was beaten by four goals, the team has gone five games unbeaten in both the league and the AFC Champions League, including a wave of four consecutive wins. However, like Echeng Longteng, Kawasaki also played a league game last weekend, drawing 1-1 with Kashiwa Suns, and the two teams should be evenly matched in terms of fitness.

Of course, this game of the Longteng team is not without hidden dangers, in addition to Ding Huaiyi and Lin Feng's poor state, as the absolute main force of the Longteng team's current backline, Zhou Zhou was suspended because of two yellow cards, which is still a very big hidden danger to the backline.

So in the face of Kazama's praise, Zhang Sheng responded very high-profile on the surface, but he was extremely cautious underneath, it depends on whether Zhang Sheng's performance this time can deceive the other party, after all, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.
