33. Four wins in a row

After the score became 3:0, Zhang Sheng began to gradually replace the substitutes, so that those young players could also go on the field to receive training. Especially when Shu Jun was substituted www.biquge.info the fans in the stands stood up and applauded him, which was the biggest affirmation of a player by the fans.

In the end, with Shu Jun's excellent performance, the Longteng team won 3:0.

After three games, the Longteng team won all three games, scoring 10 goals and conceding 0 goals, ranking first in the Chinese League standings. And two of those three games have been played away. One of them was a match against a relegation horse. Especially in the third game, the Longteng team easily defeated the opponent with 7 fewer absolute main players. Such a result silenced the entire team in the Central League.

Another good news after this game is that several players from the national youth team have all returned to the team, and no one was injured during the training and competition of the national youth team. And the national youth team, which is based on Longteng players, shook hands with the Croatian national youth team 1:1. The attacks and assists of the Chinese national youth team are all from the players of the Longteng team, namely Deng Chaoqun and Liu Xing.

Another good thing is that these players who have returned from the national youth team have obviously become more confident in training. For athletes, being selected for the national team is the greatest affirmation for them. Because it proves that they are the best players in their age group in the whole of China. Especially for the players of the Dragons who were almost abandoned by football, it is even more commendable.

Now Zhang Sheng is in a happy trouble, that is, whether it is the main force or the substitute, the players have performed very well, and arranging who to play has become a very headache for Zhang Sheng. In the end, Zhang Sheng decided to let a few players who played the whole game of the national youth team such as Qin Minghao, Liu Xing and Deng Chaoqun take a break, because they were too tired to fly back and forth for a week, and they were about to participate in the next away game.

The opponent of the Longteng team in the fourth round is the Yanbian Changbai Tigers. For Yanbian football, Zhang Sheng still admires it very much. The Yanbian team has always been composed mainly of Korean players, and is known in Chinese football for its ferocious, tenacious, and all-out offensive and defensive unique style of play. Yanbian's players have one biggest advantage over other Chinese players: they are willing to run.

In his previous life, when Zhang Sheng was playing amateur games or wild ball, he summed up a rule: whichever team has more Korean players, which team has a greater hope of winning. The player who fights the most actively and runs the most on the court is always the Korean player.

Another characteristic of Yanbian's club is poverty. This is mainly due to the limitations of the Yanbian team itself, that is, only players of Korean nationality are selected. However, for this region with a population of 2.17 million (2010) and a GDP of 80.5 billion yuan, which ranks first among the 22 cities with Chinese Super League and Chinese League A teams, how can it be compared with those clubs with a large population base and a large number of corporate support.

For example, like this season, at the beginning of the season, the Yanbian Changbai Tiger fell into a mess.

First of all, last season's top scorer Xu Bo transferred to Shijiazhuang Yongchang, and then Pei Yuwen, Gao Wanguo, Cui Yongzhe, and Jiang Hongquan also successfully "got out of the sea of suffering", Pei Yuwen joined Shenbei, Cui Yongzhe joined Lifan, Jiang Hongquan joined Guizhou, and Gao Wanguo returned to Li Xiao's account to fight in the second division. These five have been the absolute main force of the Yanbian team's three lines in the past few seasons, and their departure is equivalent to pulling out a central axis of the Changbai Tiger.

In addition, the Yanbian Changbai Tiger, who was already short of funds, was punished by the Football Association before the season, in addition to deducting three points, he was also fined 500,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the home ticket income of the team in a season.

The goal of the Yanbian team this season is very clear, that is, relegation, and at the same time, it is to train newcomers. Because of the departure of a large number of main forces, the Yanbian team is basically a ghost now.

Before the game, Zhao Jingyan, the coach of the Yanbian team, made it very clear when he arranged the tactics: "The opponent is a super strong team, and everyone's task is to do a good job in defense and show the fighting spirit of our Yanbian people." When fighting back, you must be resolute and don't drag the mud and water. ”

Soon the game started, and playing in Yanbian has to say that there is one thing that is very distinctive, that is, the fans in Yanbian.

If you want to love a team with your life, Yanbian fans have done it. In Yanbian, football culture is of a national nature. There are not only young men who love football, but also many girls and even a large number of old people. Since 11 years, the Yanbian Club has provided free tickets to senior fans over 70 years old, and has used the 5,000-seat seats in Nos. 2, 3, and 4 of the stadium as a grandstand for the elderly. Unexpectedly, every time these stands are full, there are still many elderly people waiting outside the stadium.

Of course, when it comes to Yanbian fans, the most impressive thing is "tree hanging". On April 17, 1994, tickets for the Jilin VS Dalian match were sold out in the first three days. Fans who couldn't buy tickets climbed to the pine trees in Yanji Park behind the east side of the stadium to watch the game, which was the prototype of the "fan tree hanging". At that time, whenever there was an important game, there must be trees to hang, and in order to grab those few trees in good positions, you had to go in advance.

In recent seasons in the Chinese League, the average attendance of the Yanbian team at home has exceeded 20,000, and sometimes it has even broken the 30,000 mark! What is this concept? This number may not be anything to Evergrande and Guoan, but you must know that the population of Yanji City, where the Yanbian team is located, is only about 500,000, and the entire Yanbian Prefecture is only about 2 million! Compared with Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, which have a population of more than 10 million, the number of 30,000 people attending is still very amazing!

It was also the most aggressive team the Dragons have seen so far. On the day of the game, heavy snow fell in Yanbianpu, and the staff and venue security cleared the venue an hour before the game.

It was the Longteng team who got the kick-off in this game, but when the players of the Longteng team just kicked off, the Yanbian team began to press frantically. Ivo, who replaced Qin Minghao's position, didn't expect the opponent's pressing to be so active, and if he didn't pay attention, the ball was cut off by the opponent. The Yanbian team, which broke the ball, immediately started a fast attack.

Yanbian's football rarely has the kind of backcourt big feet, they also play pushing, and their advance speed is very fast. It's often two or three kicks in front of the opponent's penalty area.

But when they faced the Dragons, this kind of attack was greatly limited, after all, the strength of the Dragons players was still much higher than theirs. When Longteng's players set up a defensive formation, Yanbian's attack was quickly stopped in the midfield, and it was Sun Yu who grabbed the ball. Even so, the Yanbian fans in the stands applauded loudly from the players.

For the next nearly 30 minutes, the Yanbian team took advantage of the never-ending run and kept the Longteng team without any good chances defensively. But when the game came to almost 40 minutes, the players' fitness was still at their limit.

Especially on the right side, Shu Jun, Lin Feng and Mahrez combined. All three of them belong to the kind of players who are very good at passing and receiving. The right side of the Yanbian team was very suppressed, and the defenders on the right side also consumed the most physical strength.

In the 42nd minute of the first half, Mahrez used his own skills to connect two people on the muddy field, and then stuffed it straight to Wen Kai in the penalty area, Wen Kai used his body to squeeze away from the opponent's central defender, and made a powerful shot to make the score 0:1.

In the second half, the game was even tougher. The whole stadium got worse because of the stampede on the pitch in the first half. The turf that has been turned up has been frozen by the low temperature, making the field uneven. The Dragons' pass-and-control style of play has been greatly limited.

After halftime, the Yanbian team was more familiar with their venue. Longjing Hailanjiang Stadium has been the home stadium of Yanbian for several years, and with its location in the northeast, Yanbian players are more adapted to such a venue and climate.

In the first 20 minutes of the second half, the Yanbian team once suppressed the formation of the Longteng team, and they used the width of the field to directly chase the ball after the big foot, such a simple and rough style of play is very suitable for the current game conditions. To add insult to injury, Zhou Hai, the left wingback of the Longteng team, accidentally stepped on the upturned frozen soil and broke his foot. Zhang Sheng had to replace Zhou Hai with Zhou Zhou.

Next, the Yanbian team repeatedly raised the ball at a 45-degree angle on both sides of the midfield, but there were McGovern and Wang Peng in the Longteng team's penalty area, both of whom were very tall and impressive, so that the Yanbian team's attack was futile.

After 30 minutes of the second half, the after-effects of the Yanbian team's frantic running in the first half appeared, with the left full-back and the left midfielder both suffering from cramps in a row. Players in other positions also have a clear lack of fitness in their movements. Head coach Zhao Jingyan made a decisive substitution of two players in a row, replacing two players on the left side. Then move the whole team back and prepare to play defensive counter-attacking tactics.

Zhang Sheng saw that the situation in the field was not very suitable for a strong attack, and he also tacitly replaced Mahrez, who had been playing the main force during this time. For the rest of the time, in order to prevent players from being injured on the field, Zhang Sheng asked the team to reduce the attack. Because the Longteng team was not in a hurry to attack, the Yanbian team had no chance to counterattack. The last 10 minutes or so of the game were basically spent in the entanglement of the midfield and long-range shots.

In the end, the Longteng team defeated the opponent 0:1 away from home and won four consecutive victories. (To be continued.) )
