When the team lost this game in Shandong, in fact, Zhang Sheng was not idle, and he also had a lot to do in Jiangcheng.

After winning the championship, because the league, FA Cup and AFC Champions League are all going on, it is not good to celebrate in a big way, but some procedures that should be gone still have to be followed.

For example, after winning the championship, the leaders of the provinces and cities will come to inspect and celebrate, after the championship, the media will come to interview, and after winning the championship, a bunch of businesses hope to renew the contract or sign a contract.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lin Feng came to find Zhang Sheng.

The day after winning the championship, Lin Feng came to Zhang Sheng's office, and he made his request: "Coach." I want to play in Europe. ”

For Lin Feng's request, Zhang Sheng really didn't expect it.

Lin Feng is the kind of player whose strengths and weaknesses are very obvious.

His strength is that he runs a lot. Good physical fitness, smart running (relative to domestic players), fair confrontation ability (Asian level), solid basic passing and receiving skills (short and medium distance passing).

But at the same time, his shortcomings are also extremely obvious. First of all, his ability to get rid of the ball is really average, in fact, he doesn't have too many advantages in terms of speed, that is, he lacks explosiveness.

As a result, once he encounters a good defensive player, or a team with strong overall defensive ability, his role in the game is greatly reduced.

In terms of his characteristics and ability, he can play the core in the Chinese Super League, and in the AFC Champions League, if it is not for a team like Longteng that pays attention to passing and control, how much ability can be played is also worrying, as for playing in Europe, he can't be mediocre anymore.

Zhang Sheng believes that if Lin Feng goes to Europe to play, the biggest possibility is to return to China in a gray way.

Of course, the most fatal point of Lin Feng is that his potential has been fully realized, and the only room for improvement he has now is to accumulate more experience and learn how to give full play to his abilities in the competition.

However, only Zhang Sheng, who can use the system, knows this biggest weakness, so how can he tell Lin Feng? ”

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Sheng still decided to say that half of it would be left for half, first Zhang Sheng analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of Lin Feng on the bright side, and then said: "You have this idea, which is very worthy of affirmation. But with your current ability, it will be very difficult to play in Europe, if you really insist on playing in Europe, I support you, during this time I will ask the agency to help you contact European teams, you first put your energy into the next AFC Champions League game, I will inform you if there is news. ”

Lin Feng, who had been in contact with Li Yun, Qin Minghao, Xu Mingyu, and Ding Huaiyi, and knew how they went to Europe, obviously heard that Zhang Sheng's attitude towards him going to Europe to play football was not too eager.

However, since Zhang Sheng had already given a promise, Lin Feng still decided to wait for the news first.

After Lin Feng left, Zhang Sheng began to think about how to solve this problem.

First of all, he gave him a promise, so he must do it, as for how to find a team that suits Lin Feng's level and characteristics, it is a matter for the brokerage company.

Secondly, Zhang Sheng believes that the matter of competitive sports will be solved in the way of competitive sports, and will not add some additional commercial contracts for Lin Feng, that is to say, he will not let Lin Feng stay in the United States in the mode of commercial sponsorship.

Finally, Zhang Sheng also had to prepare for how to adjust the staffing and tactics once Lin Feng left the team.

This incident really made Zhang Sheng very embarrassed, and a doomed stay in the ocean was not a good thing for a young player like Lin Feng.

In dealing with Lin Feng's affairs, the twenty-seventh round of the league began.

In this game, the Longteng team faced Tianjin TEDA, which was stumbling for relegation, and now Tianjin TEDA is temporarily in the penultimate league with 21 points, and they also have a four-point point gap with Chongqing Lifan, which is the third-to-last.

At this time, TEDA's side can be regarded as having paid all their efforts, facing the Longteng team with a mixed half-main and half-substitute lineup, although it is an away game, for the sake of points, they really fight.

Just eight minutes into the game, Tianjin TEDA sent Ben Alpha off injured with a ferocious tackle, and Zhang Sheng had to replace him with Bo.

In addition, Pato did not start in this game, and the Longteng team only had Chavez as a foreign player on the front line, and the team's offensive ability decreased a lot.

In addition, in order to practice tactics, Zhang Sheng discharged a 3-5-2 formation in this game, although the players often use this formation in their usual training, after all, there are still certain flaws in the game.

In the 23rd minute of the first half, Tianjin TEDA won a corner, and Barquez's header gave Tianjin TEDA the lead on the road.

Tianjin TEDA, which scored a goal, began to retreat across the board, and at the same time, the "lying grass" tactic was brought into full play by them.

From the moment the goal was scored, the players on the Tianjin TEDA side began to take turns to "lie on the grass", and after a slight touch, they immediately fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

On the contrary, the players of the Longteng team seemed too anxious, and after several consecutive long-range shots were unsuccessful, Yao Tian and Yu Bo, who were eager to score, received two yellow cards in a row for fouls in the front court.

At the end of halftime, Tianjin TEDA entered the halftime break with the lead score.

In the locker room at halftime, Zhang Sheng decilessly sprayed, and Lin Feng, who performed very averagely, was also replaced by Tao Wentao, who had stronger breakthrough ability.

Sure enough, this substitution had an effect, shortly after the start of the second half, Tao Wentao broke through in the front court and obtained a well-placed free kick, Yao Tian's free kick accurately found Chavez in the penalty area, who also responded with a powerful header to make the score 1:1.

After the goal, the Longteng team launched wave after wave of attacks, and TEDA's side made it clear that they wanted this point.

The second half of the game basically became an offensive and defensive drill station.

In the end, with the excellent performance of goalkeeper Yang Qipeng, TEDA grabbed a point from the Longteng team.

After the game, Zhang Sheng was first concerned about Ben Alfa's injury, as the AFC Champions League match against Guangzhou Evergrande was due to start three days later.

The news fed back by the team doctor made Zhang Sheng very depressed. Ben Alpha's injury is indeed not serious, and it will only take two weeks to return, but it will never be able to catch up with the game against Evergrande.

As a flashpoint for the Dragons' frontcourt attack, Ben Alpha's absence was a great loss, and the arrangement of the squad became a problem again.

At this time in Guangzhou, the Guangzhou Evergrande Club was holding another Xu's family banquet.

After the team lost the league championship this season - in fact, Xu Jiaying already knew that the team could not get this honor this season, Xu Jiaying pinned all his hopes on the AFC Champions League, because the FA Cup was also out early, and the AFC Champions League became the only possible champion for Guangzhou Evergrande this season.

Guangzhou Evergrande has never returned empty-handed in any year since entering the Chinese Super League, and a league championship is a bottom-up achievement, but this season, once there is a mistake in the AFC Champions League, they are likely to have no results. For Mr. Xu, who is interested in building the No. 1 giant in the Chinese Super League and introducing strategic partners like Alibaba, it is too embarrassing to only qualify for the AFC Champions League after a season.

At this family banquet, Mr. Xu put forward the requirement that he must win the AFC Champions League, of course, he has always been generous, he has not been stingy with monetary rewards, after making a request, he said extremely domineeringly: "This game should be paid special attention, the more goal difference, the better, I have prepared a goal difference award of 50 million for you, see if you can get it." The goal difference was originally 3 million for a ball, and now it is 5 million if it is added 2 million, and I hope you can get a bonus of 50 million, which is 10 goal difference. I believe that we will be able to achieve our goals!"

Guangzhou Evergrande's bonus strategy for the AFC Champions League this season is to win 3 million, draw 1 million, win 1 goal and reward another 3 million, and the promotion award has reached an astonishing 10 million.

Now the goal difference bonus in this game has been increased to 5 million per ball, which also means that if Evergrande can really win by a big score, they may set a new winning bonus record.

Xu Jiaying's pride in spending a lot of money can be seen.

Compared with Guangzhou Evergrande, the prize money of the Longteng team is extremely mediocre, although the 200 winning award and the 500 promotion award are not low, but in the face of the tens of millions of bonuses, it is particularly shabby.

Of course, football matches don't have to be won with money or a high prize, otherwise everyone just has to throw money at it.

When Xu Jiaying's bonus amount was exposed by the media, everyone also had different attitudes.

When Zhang Sheng was asked by reporters, he gave an answer to this question: "The reward is each club's own business, but we are more purely concerned about the victory. Because Guangzhou Evergrande's greatest strength is reflected in their excellent players and high-level coaches. ”

Including Guangzhou Evergrande's own players also try their best to put aside the topic of high bonuses, such as their captain Zheng Zhi said: "The boss banquet team, not only the bonus, that is only a small part of the boss's dinner, more is the boss's incentive to the whole team, he also put forward new requirements, as a professional player, bonus is not a very important part of the game." When the players step onto the pitch, all they think about is winning and scoring goals, and the belief in everyone's head is to win the game and score more goals, and the bonus is just a way for the owner to encourage the team. The issue of prize money, the appearance will not be considered, all the energy is in the game. ”

As for the outside media, it's more discussed.

Some fans jokingly said: "Being rich is capricious." It seems that the money is not earned, it is 'sealed' by the Xu family."

Some Shanghai media mentioned: "In a normal league, whether it is a European league or an Asian league, such bonuses are very rare." Guangzhou Evergrande took out the prize money for this game equivalent to half of the salary expenditure of their previous AFC Champions League opponent Osaka Steel Plate team for a year. Are the Chinese so rich now?"

At the same time, they also counted several previous failures: "Heavy awards have almost always been a sign of the professionalism of Chinese football. When Wang Jianlin entered the locker room at halftime with the cocker box and put the million-win prize in front of the players, it really drove the dynasty of Dalian Wanda. But after a few crazy years, Wanda withdrew from Chinese football, and the team's fortunes plummeted. Shanghai fans remember more deeply Zhu Jun, the owner of Jiucheng who acquired Shenhua, and he can also be called Xu Jiaying of the year with his outgoing personality, who has repeatedly made amazing moves, and even has to pay bonuses to his opponents. But where is he now?"

Ironically, the media's questioning words are still lingering, and there is another blockbuster news in Chinese football - after all the shareholder representatives of the Chinese Super League voted to decide, Sports Olympic Power (Beijing) Sports Communication Co., Ltd. has become the priority negotiator for the 2016-2020 Chinese Super League TV public signal production and copyright collection project at a price of 10 billion yuan in 5 years. This makes the Chinese Super League the most expensive football league after the five major European leagues.

The price of Sports Olympic Power is 2 billion higher than the historical 8 billion, which can be said to be the deepest impact of Zhang Sheng on Chinese football - Zhang Sheng's appearance has made the Chinese Super League 2 billion more expensive!

The history of the Chinese Super League on the "2016-2020 Chinese Super League TV public signal production and copyright partners" There are 8 companies participating in the competition, but because of the emergence of Zhang Sheng, the current Chinese football results are much better than in history, in addition to the national team in the top 40 to play beautifully, the national team at all levels of echelon has also appeared in an all-round outbreak;

Therefore, there are as many as 12 companies that signed up for the project this time, except for a few that failed to pass the qualification review in the end, the quotations of several others are also much higher than the historical values, including the quotations of China Television (CCTV Sports) and Five Star Sports are far more than the historical 4 billion, 4.3 billion, reaching 5.5 billion and 6.5 billion respectively.

In order to win the bid this time, several companies are also showing their own powers, and the price of 8 billion in history is much higher than that of others, and even then it is not unanimously approved, and there are 6 Chinese Super League clubs who voted for the five-star sports with a bid of 4.3 billion.

This time is even more so, the only difference is that although Five Star Sports has done a good job for several other clubs, it is a pity that Shanghai Shenxin is missing in history - because of the appearance of the Longteng team, they were relegated last season, and Five Star Sports still failed.

Zhang Sheng knows the rules of this vote, the Chinese Football Association has 9 valid votes because it accounts for 36% of the shares, and the 16 clubs that each account for 4% have 16 votes, and finally the 9 votes of the Chinese Football Association all voted for the sports Olympic power, and Zhang Sheng, who had expected this result, certainly knew what to do.

Although everyone has fully raised their expectations before the opening of the bid for this project, such a price not only makes fans think, but also the Chinese Super League company itself is about to be scared.

Even Zhang Sheng, who had already experienced it once before the crossing, was shocked when he heard the news from Ding Kun after the meeting - this is crazy!
