After taking advantage of the short day to reverse the jet lag, the Longteng team began high-intensity training. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On the third day after training, the Dragons welcomed their first warm-up opponent, RB Leipzig. Zhang Sheng attaches great importance to the team that is still in the German league, because although RB Leipzig is still in the German league, the Longteng team cannot underestimate this team in the third division of the German league at all, because most of the abilities of the players in their team are at the German second level, and they have also been successfully promoted to the German second division this season in history.

The current head coach of RB Leipzig is Rangnick, and he was very enthusiastic when meeting Zhang Sheng. After the meeting, Rangnick vigorously praised the results of the Longteng team last season and congratulated the Longteng team on winning the FA Cup. He then began to praise Qin Minghao and Li Yun, saying: "They are really two great lads, and Salzburg's manager Schmidt called me to thank me for sending him two strong players. ”

But when it came to the game, RB Leipzig did not have any mercy, according to Rangnick's idea, the strength of the team can make Zhang Sheng feel awe, in the cooperation between the two sides, the winner side often has more say in the loser's side.

Leipzig's big difference with other Bundesliga teams is that their style of play does not mainly rely on long passes and physical confrontations, but through the delicate passing and advancing of the midfield, and there is often a pleasing combination on the field. But if you think that Leipzig's confrontation ability is weak, then you are wrong, Leipzig's layered attack is based on superhuman physical confrontation.

So when the players of the Longteng team still play with the intensity of the confrontation in the Central League or the FA Cup, they find themselves passive everywhere.

Ivo, who is in charge of the midfield arrangement, feels very deeply, and the Red Bull team has two midfielders on the field, namely Kimmich and Deme. Needless to say, Kimmich is familiar with German football, as fans who are familiar with German football will know that he only moved to Leipzig on loan from Stuttgart at the beginning of this season, and then he was valued by Guardiola in 2015 and moved to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich for 7 million euros, and later performed very well in the central defender position, and also represented Germany in Euro 2016. This talented player, who is still a few days away from turning 19, makes Ivo very uncomfortable. Kimmich has left Ivo a little overwhelmed both defensively and offensively.

The relatively short stature of the other defender, Deme, (1.70m), does not affect his role as the team's metronome and point splitter. Ivo's counter-attacks are rarely effective when he tries to counter-attack up front, as he passes and moves very quickly and rarely makes mistakes.

In the middle of the midfield, Kaiser, as the main player of Hoffenheim in the former Bundesliga, made Kante's defense very difficult.

The biggest gap between the two teams should be in the goalkeeper position, Leipzig's main goalkeeper Swiss player Cortotti is very stable, as the main goalkeeper of the Swiss national team, the 33-year-old he has experience is not comparable to Zhou Wei.

The Dragons were better at the back, with the combination of McGovern and Ma Yongli effectively limiting Leipzig striker Denmark international Poulsen, who was not too scared of the tall player.

As a former football superstar, Pato's ability is still enough, especially in the face of the German Bundesliga-level team, Pato is super confident, and his breakthrough attack and ball in the front court make the Leipzig team very headache.

Under Zhang Sheng's instructions, the Longteng team began to scramble with Leipzig's midfield, Ivo and Mahrez strengthened their connection with each other, Zhang Hao began to carry out close pressing defense on Kaiser, although Yu Bo on the left side is young, but the opponent Leipzig's players are also young, and the confrontation between the two sides is very fierce.

It was Leipzig who scored first, and in the 31st minute of the first half, Leipzig took advantage of the weakness of the combination between Kante and Zhang Hao to score a goal by their other striker, the main striker of the US national team, Boyd.

However, it didn't take long for the Dragons to return the game, with Mahrez, Ivo and Pato paying off in a triangular attack up front, and finally Pato inserted into the box to equalise the score.

After the second half, both the Longteng and Leipzig began to change a large number of players, and the substitution ability of both sides was similar, and the two sides ended up in a 2:2 draw.

After the game, when Zhang Sheng and Rangnick shook hands, Rangnick said: "Pato, I won't talk about it, your team's Mahrez is really strong." ”

Zhang Sheng, of course, knew the subtext of Rangnick, and then he said: "Yes, my team's offense depends on him. This was a tactful rejection of Rangnick's idea.

Rangnick's side then returned to Germany as the Bundesliga winter break was approaching and the Dragons stayed for training camps.

The second opponent of the Dragons is Sporting Lisbon B, and as the host, Aurelio Pereira, also made a special trip to watch this game. It should be said that the strength of the Sporting Lisbon B team and Leipzig should be comparable, the Longteng team played very hard in this game, and the physical consumption of the players in two consecutive games for three days is also very large, Zhang Sheng let Lin Feng replace Zhang Hao's position in this game, let him be responsible for the tandem of the midfield, it should be said that Lin Feng's performance is decent, he is used to playing the right midfielder, he is often accustomed to leaning on the road in the game, but this also has an advantage, that is, his approach makes the right side of the Longteng team attack more sharp, and the middle is completely dependent on Kante to be responsible。

After a big substitution in the second half, the Longteng team lost the game 1:3, and the Sporting Lisbon B team, which was already in the league, was better than the Longteng team in terms of physical condition and game condition. Among them, Xu Mingyu also contributed an assist, while the Longteng team relied on a goal from Pato to save a little face.

After the game, Pereira took a fancy to Kante, because Kante's defensive interception and ball in the midfield were very good, and the Longteng team was able to play 1:1 with the opponent in the first half completely relying on his good performance in the midfield.

After the game, Xu Mingyu made a special trip to the training point of the Longteng team, chatted with Zhang Sheng, and also met with his former teammates to catch up on the old days, seeing that many of his previous teammates were no longer in the team, Xu Mingyu was also embarrassed: "I didn't expect that it has only been more than half a year, and so many people have left." ”

Zhang Sheng said with a smile: "Isn't that the case for professional players? If you have an idea, you can leave here." I don't think you'll always play in the Liga, the Super League is where you should be. If you don't have a lot of opportunities in the first team of Sporting Lisbon, you may still play in the middle of the Portuguese Super League, and you have to be mentally prepared in advance. ”

Hearing Zhang Sheng's evaluation of himself, Xu Mingyu said: "I'm still young, let's work hard for a few more seasons, if it really doesn't work, I will transfer to another team in the Portuguese Super League, or go to play in other leagues." ”

Zhang Sheng nodded and said, "Okay, if you work harder, maybe you will have a chance." ”

After this game, the Dragons flew to Amsterdam to play against Ajax II.

Ajax II team is similar to Sporting Lisbon B team, and is also playing in the Dutch domestic second-tier league - Dutch B, but the Dutch B does not have a lift system, and it is an amateur league under the Dutch B, so the level of the Dutch B itself is not too high, in the face of this opponent, the Longteng team played very well in this game, Pato, Mahrez 2 in the first half: 1 led the opponent, after the second half, the Longteng team replaced a large number of substitutes, especially after Zhang Hao replaced Lin Feng, the right side of the Longteng team The attack power of the Longteng team has decreased a lot, and the tandem of the midfield has also become Kante, and the team's control of the midfield began to decline, but the intensity of defense began to rise, and the game ended 2:1.

Back in Lisbon, the Dragons only rested for two days before welcoming the strongest opponent in this training camp - Red Bull Salzburg, which is a team that can often play in the Champions League, and often break into the knockout stage of the Europa League, and the 2013-2014 season of Red Bull Salzburg is also the strongest in recent years, coach Roger Schmidt is the manager of Bayer Leverkusen later, when he brought the team a high defense, fast forward after losing the ball and fast attack made Red Bull Salzburg extremely strong. Historically, they have scored 110 goals in 36 league games, an average of three goals per game, and finally they also won the title by 18 points ahead of second-place Vienna Rapids, which is still after sending young players to lose a few games after winning the championship in N rounds early, otherwise they have been leading by more than 20 points before.

The back line of the Longteng team will usher in the strong impact of Soriano, who was born in Barcelona and Alan who was later in Evergrande, on the left is Mane of the later Liverpool club, and on the right is Kanpur of the later Leverkusen, these four King Kongs in history scored a total of 122 goals for Red Bull Salzburg in all competitions in the 2013-2014 season!

The middle is Qin Minghao's organization and scheduling, and the backfield has Li Yun's command and defense, it can be said that the current Red Bull Salzburg team is at its peak, and the Longteng team will also usher in the biggest test. (To be continued.) )
