"Is this qi-g?", the scout at Sporting Lisbon apparently did not give Aurelio Pereira a message about the ring, otherwise the scout would be too incompetent, "this is a good player. Zhang, you should let him play in Europe, he is already 21 years old, and if he plays in China again, his growth will be too slow. ”

For Aurelio Pereira's fool, Zhang Sheng's silence.

Zhang Sheng's expression, Aurelio Pereira is too familiar: "You are always like this, always hold on to the players as treasures, you should let them come out and break in." ”

"I'll let them come to Europe. Zhang Sheng replied to Aurelio Pereira's complaints, "And the clubs that accept them must give a commitment for the number of appearances commensurate." ”

Aurelio Pereira shrugged helplessly at this promise that belongs to a manager.

Qi Ming's current performance does have the potential to become Alonso or Gerrard, but who knows what the future holds? Aurelio Pereira can submit Qi Ming's information to the manager of Sporting Lisbon, but the final decision still needs to be made by the manager.

"And what about Nie, his ability doesn't have to wait for the future, and now any team in the Portuguese Super League can play. "Aurelio Pereira has been following Nie Jiang for a long time and is obviously very familiar with Nie Jiang's recent situation.

Of course, Zhang Sheng knows better than him that Nie Jiang's ability value at the end of the season has exceeded 100, becoming the highest ability value among the active Chinese Super League local players. But Zhang Sheng still felt that Nie Jiang was young, he was only 19 years old, especially after using the potential pill just now, according to Zhang Sheng's previous experience, Nie Jiang needed at least a month of adaptation.

The Europa League is now in the winter transfer period, and there is no special reason that the team will not replace a leading striker, and Nie Jiang's transfer now is indeed inappropriate.

"Let's wait and see how the Chinese team qualifies for the World Cup this year. Zhang Sheng gave an excuse that Aurelio Pereira couldn't refuse.

Although neither player received a definite commitment from Zhang, Aurelio Pereira patiently watched the match between the Dragons and Sporting Spen B with Zhang.

"Maybe it's the right choice for our B team to ask you to come over as the head coach. "Here's what Aurelio Pereira said about the match after the game.

Indeed, the score of 4:1 is a very embarrassing result for the Sburn Athletic B team, the opponent came from afar, just started the warm-up match, and he lost 3 goals in the league period, which is really an all-round failure.

In fact, the team had a lot of problems in this game.

Qi Ming has an excellent performance in the middle, but compared with Rockgill, the defense is not experienced enough, the ability to play the ball with the feet in the confrontation needs to be strengthened, and how to make the best choice when switching between attack and defense still needs to be honed, these are the gaps between a young player and a foreign player.

In addition, Ni Kai's physical fitness is obvious that he can't play the whole game, and in the wingback position, his defensive ability and defensive awareness are insufficient, and it is likely to become a big hole in the next new season.

After De Paul arrived in his new position, he couldn't provide Ni Kai with much defensive help, which made Zhang Sheng have some doubts about his tactics.

Of course, the most obvious problem is Fernando's lack of adaptation to tactics.

Fernando was not bad on his own, as he was sharp on the winger and quick enough to cause plenty of problems for the Sporting B kids, who eventually scored a goal.

However, Fernando's performances were all outside of Zhang Sheng's tactics, and he played too much of his own game.

After Fernando was bought by the Longteng team to China, he did not play in the team, he has been loaned to the Western Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard, because he is really useful, the Western Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard has loaned him for two consecutive years, and has tried the Longteng team many times, but the Longteng team has not agreed.

In the Tianshan Snow Leopards in Western Xinjiang, head coach Li Jun played an old-fashioned defensive counterattack, and Fernando was used as a single type player who relied on speed to eat, and his dribbling and shooting skills did make him eat well in the Central League.

But when it came to the Dragons, he was clearly out of step in tactics.

It's not that he doesn't have enough ability, it's that his tactical thinking hasn't turned a corner.

Historically, when Fernando first came to play in Chongqing Lifan, he also relied entirely on the physical instinct of speed, but after encountering most opponents who were used to him, Fernando changed quickly.

Chongqing Lifan's head coach Zhang Wailong still has a few brushes, he let Fernando start to wander more on the two wings, making full use of his strong ability to hold the ball, combined with the characteristics of fast speed and fast rhythm change, frequently in the two wings to respond to the pass or direct inward shooting.

It can be said that Fernando, under the tutelage of Zhang Wailong, has changed from a simple wing attacker to a player who can not only attack, but also play shadow strikers and forward midfielders.

However, under the guidance of Li Jun, Fernando's playing is becoming more and more rigid, not to mention, his characteristics are becoming more and more violable, and he was injured twice last season in the Tianshan Snow Leopard in Western Xinjiang.

For the transformation of Fernando, Zhang Sheng is still confident. This player does not belong to the kind of unruly person, and Zhang Sheng thinks that he is still much better than Zhang Wailong.

After the game, Zhang Sheng and Fernando had a very simple conversation: "How do you feel in the team?"

"It's good, my team-mates are very nice to me and I feel like I'm having a good time. ”

"What are your thoughts on today's match?" Zhang Sheng asked.

'It started well and then it wasn't a good one. Fernando clearly knew it.

"Phil. You know I'm not going to limit what you can do on the court, I can't even limit anybody. Because football is sometimes just a matter of solving problems by one person, and anyone can be the key man. Right?" Zhang Sheng did not directly ask Fernando's question.

Fernando obviously also knew that Zhang Sheng had not finished his words, and waited for Zhang Sheng to continue.

"But football is an eleven-man sport. It's easy to play all alone, it's not hard to play all, when you pass the ball, you don't pass the ball to one person, you change the ball from your left foot to your right foot. You have been in China for two years, and you know that we have a saying in China that brothers are like brothers. When you have a brother, you can't do it with your left foot, you have your right foot to help you, you can't do it with your right foot, you can't have your left foot to help you, it's really not good, we still have brains, you can let the brain get the ball and reorganize. So, I want you to know that when you feel like you're not playing well, it's not that you're not strong enough, it's that you need help, you should go to your teammates, and you should trust your teammates. ”

Zhang Sheng spoke carefully and slowly in Portuguese, hoping that Fernando would understand what he meant.

"I know the coach. In the first two seasons, I always wanted to win and win the championship with my previous team, but I didn't succeed and I even kind of wanted to give up on my dream. Fernando glanced at Zhang Sheng a little shyly, "My dream is to enter the Brazilian national team." ”

Seeing that Zhang Sheng did not show any sneering expression, and even encouraged him, Fernando continued: "I now kind of understand why I didn't succeed before, because I didn't really believe that my teammates could help me. In the future, I will try to change my habit of playing on the pitch. ”

"Hmm. Come on!" it was a pleasure to chat with such a person with high emotional intelligence, Zhang Sheng patted Fernando on the shoulder encouragingly, "Go and rest, we have a lot of games in the future." ”

Sure enough, in the following training, Fernando began to work hard to seek cooperation with his teammates, and under the guidance of the coaching staff, his good passing characteristics were slowly explored, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.

Two days later, the Dragons flew to Germany for a friendly match against RB Leipzig.

As the second-ranked team in the Bundesliga, the Dragons can imagine how difficult it is. Even if the opponent didn't go all out, sending a mixed lineup of the main force and substitutes, the Longteng team was completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the opponent.

In response to the Dragons' 3-5-2 tactical system, RB Leipzig is in a 4-2-2-2 position, which should have been specially instructed by their head coach Hassenhutter.

Rangnick stepped down as head coach this season to concentrate on his sporting director, and Hasenhuttl was poached from another Bundesliga team, Ingolstadt, a very flexible coach who played 4-4-2, 4-5-1, 4-3-3, 4-2-3, 4-2-3-1, 4-4-4-1-1.

In this 4-2-2-2 style of play, the two wingers press very high, they are responsible for pressing the two wing-backs on the Longteng side, and the two forwards are responsible for pressing the central defenders, and the other is ready to fill in and press.

When dealing with a three-center-back system like the Dragons, most teams will choose a single striker to avoid its edge, while Hasenhuttl chooses to be tough and send a similar 4 striker to suppress, he has this confidence mainly because the team's strength is strong enough and the tactical details are more detailed.

The Longteng team, who is accustomed to playing ground ball and advancing from the back to the front, now looks very embarrassing.

Zhang Sheng's response is to withdraw the two wingbacks, De Paul and Tao Wentao up, the retreat of the wingbacks is to allow the central defenders to have more points to the ball, and the top two midfielders are to see that RB Leipzig has fewer midfielders, and attack the weaknesses of the two players on Leipzig's side to cover the entire midfield.

The idea is good, but there are still many problems when it comes to actual implementation.

After the two wingbacks Ni Kai and Fernando took the ball with their backs, they couldn't turn around quickly or play with their teammates, De Paul's pass interception to the two wingers in the Leipzig midfielder was not timely, and the team's overall running without the ball and running ability was not as good as the opponent became the reason why the Longteng team was suppressed.

Compared with the Dragons, RB Leipzig is also a team with a very young average age, their average age of 23 years old is half a year older than the Dragons, which makes the advantage of the Dragons' proud players being young and able to run not reflected at all, but the stronger and smarter RB Leipzig makes the Dragons' pressing tactics have little effect.

This season they have strictly enforced the Leipzig-style "gegenpressg" style (commonly known as pressing up front). This pressing style of play is all about two legs, and the average distance run per game is 1166k, which is the most in the Bundesliga.

Zhang Sheng did not consider using Bayern's Ancelotti's tactics to blast Leipzig a month ago, but the gap in the strength of the players on both sides was too large.

In the first half, RB Leipzig led the Dragons by 30, how Bayern beat RB Leipzig, how RB Leipzig beat the Dragons.

In the second half, the Longteng team made adjustments on the field, Cao Jinghao replaced Ni Kai, and De Paul returned to the familiar wingback position, and the situation was much better.

Compared with Ni Kai, Cao Jinghao's ability to pass and receive the ball is much stronger, he can be regarded as a slightly strengthened version of Lin Feng, in addition to the short pass and sprint, there is also a long pass, the second half of the Dragons team's only goal attack originated from his long pass from the left side to the right side, and then Fernando's side bottom cross, Chavez grabbed the ball in the middle, De Paul grabbed the second point, and the unguarded shot was successful.

In the end, Leipzig, who were all substitutes in the second half, allowed the Dragons to score a goal to save some face.

From this game, it is not difficult to see that the tactical level of European coaches is strong N grades of most coaches in Asia, and the ability of players in the Bundesliga is much higher than that of the Chinese Super League.

After Hassenhuttl routinely shook hands with Zhang Sheng after the game, Rangnick took over the reception as Zhang Sheng's old acquaintance, and he came here mainly to discuss Weigel's transfer with the Dragons.

RB Leipzig's excellent results have made Weigel a popular figure for several giants, and it is said that Bayern have begun to contact his agent, which makes Leipzig's side nervous.

Seeing Weigel kick out, Zhang Sheng also knew that it was impossible for him to play in the Chinese Super League again, at least not in recent years, so the sale of Weigel had long been on the club's agenda.

In business, although Weigel played in Leipzig, he still made the money he should make, and the Longteng club has received countless inquiries about him, including Bundesliga giants such as Bayern and Dortmund.

Zhang Sheng revealed the tone of this matter slightly, and Rangnick was anxious, "Zhang." You are the one we came out of Leipzig, you know how much we value young players, and we give each young player a long-term plan, which is much better than if they go to Bayern and wait for the opportunity. ”

"I know that. I don't think your offer will be lower than Bayern's, right?"

"You cunning fellow, you should be a businessman, not the head coach of the team. Rangnick muttered.

"We will give you a satisfactory offer, but we would like to be able to sign a pre-emptive purchase contract with you first, this year's budget has been exhausted, and we hope to bring in Weigel this summer. Rangnick eventually made his own claim.

"No problem. I'll report it to the club, you know, I'm just a manager now. Zhang Sheng's answer made Rangnick almost go berserk.

In the end, Zhang Sheng still smiled and gave a promise, promising to help facilitate this matter.
