48. Repeated fierce battles
It has only been a few days since the end of the Longteng team returned to Jiangcheng, and there was explosive news in the Chinese Super League.
The most direct reason is that Beijing Jingguoan lost to Henan Jianye in the league, and the ranking has fallen to tenth, which is absolutely unacceptable to the arrogant Beijing Guoan.
After the start of the summer transfer, Beijing Jing Guoan has been discussing with LeTV the issue of buying a summer transfer in the summer window, and Yu Bo, the left forward of the Longteng team who has been targeted by them for a long time, is the target.
However, the transfer fee of 80 million offered by the Dragons is the minimum requirement, and the salary of the contract is not a small amount.
The problem is the money.
Recalling the "marriage" of the two families, the scene was also huge. On January 19, Guoan and LeEco announced that the two parties are in-depth strategic partners of each other and signed a sponsorship and equity cooperation agreement. Among them, the sponsorship fee is about 100 million yuan, and it has been advertised and named on the chest of Guoan, and the name of the team has been changed to "Beijing Guoan LeTV Team"; in addition, CITIC Group, the controlling shareholder of Guoan, sold 50% of the shares to LeTV at a price of 2 billion yuan, which was paid in two installments.
Among them, LeEco values Guoan's equity the most.
LeTV wants to seek a controlling position in Guoan, but the current major shareholder CITIC shares have no such intentions; Guoan does not want to turn LeTV away, if LeTV first comes up with 1 billion yuan of equity investment "sincerity money", you can explore equity cooperation plans.
To put it simply, whether it is a controlling stake or a title, Guoan must see the money before it is willing to talk, while LeEco believes that it is impossible to pay the money first without any commitment from you.
However, not only has the 1 billion yuan equity purchase funds not arrived, not to mention, the 100 million yuan naming fee has not been paid.
According to CITIC, LeTV played 20 million and 30 million respectively in two times, a total of 50 million, that is, half of the 'naming fee'.
Of course, LeTV also has its own statement: "In fact, the naming fee agreed by the two parties is actually 50 million, and it was declared that it was 100 million at that time, of which the other 50 million is the cost of equity payment after the two parties reach a shareholding contract." ”
There are many opinions about LeTV's delay in paying.
There is a saying that the selling price of Levision Guoan is too high. After all, Suning's acquisition of 68.55% of Inter's shares only cost 263 million euros (about 1.948 billion yuan), while Wanda's acquisition of 20% of Atletico Madrid's equity cost only 45 million euros (about 333 million yuan). As a Chinese Super League team, even according to LeTV: 50 million sponsorship, 50 million deposit, 1 billion equity acquisition "sincerity gold", 1 billion final payment, these add up to about 2.1 billion yuan, and the water is really big.
Of course, there are also claims that LeEco now has problems with capital turnover. Last year, LeTV's financial report showed that their loss was as high as more than 700 million. In order to lay out the whole industry chain of the sports industry, LETV spent a huge amount of money to acquire a number of companies and broadcast rights, and the money paid to the sports Olympic power alone is as high as 3 billion, which is only the exclusive new media broadcast rights of the Chinese Super League in 2016 and 2017 seasons.
Guoan and LeEco are still arguing, and a company that the public is not very familiar with, Sinobo Group, was exposed by the media, and the media confirmed that Sinobo will replace LeEco and become the head of Guoan.
There is little news about Sinobo Group and the people who eat melons, but people at Zhang Sheng's level still know a little bit about it.
In China, a large group company can start with the word "China", whether you are familiar with this company or not, you must maintain a high level of attention, not to mention that Zhongbo is still specialized in high-end real estate and international sports events. Being able to do this business does not mean having funds - of course, it can not be your own money, you can also have the ability to get money from the bank - you can do it, the necessary contacts are the foundation of the company's operation.
When Zhang Sheng and Zhang Zhijun mentioned this, Zhang Zhijun obviously had a look of envy: "In the real estate industry, Sinobo is synonymous with high-end real estate. Take a look at the several projects they have developed, at 40 degrees north latitude, Wanliu Academy, and Fishing, Fishing, and Taiwan No. 7 Courtyard are all the top mansions in China, and Wanliu's land is still the king of the land back then. Don't look at their company is not listed, its reputation is not good, this company is not simple. ”
Standing in the real estate industry, Zhang Zhijun will of course only talk about real estate, one of Sinobo's industries, in fact, Sinobo's operation in the football industry is also one of the earliest in China.
Since 2009, Sinobo has been operating the digital media operations of international sports organizations and clubs such as UEFA and Paris Saint-Germain in China, and has helped Wanda acquire Infront Sports, the world's leading sports marketing company, and assisted Hisense to become the first Chinese sponsor in the European Cup.
Therefore, in football, although they are not well-known, they are real experts, maybe Guoan has long been in contact with Sinobo Group, and now they are just pushing the boat along the water.
On the weekend after the FA Cup, the matter of Guoan was still fermenting, and the Longteng team ushered in another "vicious battle", this time the opponent was Shandong Luneng, the difficult brother of Beijing Guoan this season.
This season, Shandong Luneng has brought the characteristics of the "Pacers" team to the extreme, and it is also an extremely poor result to give back to them. By the middle of the season, the club could no longer stand the state of the team, and ruthlessly found the head coach Magath with the bottom line of "not practicing the dead", for which the physical team of the Longteng Club - and the previous Magath physical team also sent a welcome message on Twitter.
Magath is not a fairy, he is still familiar with the team stage and he has no foreign aid, this game is not good, and the Longteng team, which has returned all the players of the national Olympic team, has completely mastered the initiative on the field, even if they play away.
In the end, the Longteng team relied on the goals of De Paul and Nie Jiang to defeat Shandong Luneng 0:2 away.
Even if he won this game, Zhang Sheng did not breathe a sigh of relief, because the bye of the last round of make-up matches came, and the opponent was Jiangsu Suning, which ranked third in the league.
At this time, the league points of the Chinese Super League are very tight, the Longteng team ranks first with 34 points, Guangzhou Evergrande is 3 points behind the Longteng team in second place, and the opponent of this game, Jiangsu Suning, is ranked third with 29 points, and everyone's points gap is also between one or two games.
What is particularly unfavorable to the Longteng team is that these players of the National Olympic team have completed three high-quality confrontations with European and South American teams, and they have not had enough rest time to play the Chinese Super League away, and then it is only three days of adjustment time to play this game.
In the end, in order to ensure the body of the players, Zhang Sheng discharged a mixed lineup of main players and substitutes.
Huang Dawei returned to the position of the main goalkeeper, but the three central defenders Du Zhenyu was a little injured and couldn't play, and the left back Shen Jun started for him; Qi Ming's last league comeback, the muscles still felt a little tight after the game, and Zhang Sheng, who was cared for by Qi Ming, decisively let him rest again, so Zhang Hao played for Bu Ming.
On the striker, Nie Jiang played as the absolute main force in the three warm-up games of the National Olympic team, and he himself had reached the limit of his physical fitness before the three warm-up games, and Rick Link also regarded him as the absolute main force. After returning to the Longteng team, Nie Jiang came off the bench in the game with Luneng, and in this game, Zhang Sheng still let him sit on the bench as a backhand, and started Yan Xiaoyu, who performed very well in the FA Cup.
As for Zou Weijia, his physical fitness has always been considered to be relatively good in the team, although he has also played in three warm-up games, but he is a substitute, and these two league games have become the absolute arrow figure on the front line of the Longteng team.
In the selection of attack combinations on the right, Huang He and Xiong Jian also replaced Xiang Tiange, and Tao Wentao started the game.
It can be said that Zhang Sheng has reservations about this game, and it is also thanks to the fact that the Longteng team has a very good talent reserve, so he will not give up completely.
On the contrary, there is good news for Jiangsu Suning, that is, their main fullback, former Longteng player Xiao Yunfan has returned, which is a great boost to Jiangsu Suning's attack.
After the start of the game, Suning's side did play very actively, and the new coach they found during the break, Choi Yong-so, was full of energy to take revenge on Zhang Sheng.
Compared with the previous head coach Petroscu's 7-0-3 formation, the offense relied on foreign aid, and the local players squatted behind, and the biggest change that Choi Yongsu brought to the team was to make the offensive tactics more three-dimensional, the offensive means more diverse, and the offensive players more involved.
Since the first minute of the game, Choi Yong-so has never returned to the coach's seat, he has been standing on the sidelines and constantly giving instructions to the players on the field, and constantly shouting loudly.
Under the command of Cui Yongzhu, the confrontation between the two sides is very fierce, especially Ramirez's sweeping ability in the midfield makes Yan Xiaoyu, who plays similar to the front waist, be controlled very hard, plus Suning has the top player Wu Xi in the back, which makes the Longteng team's proud midfield attack extremely weak.
On the contrary, Teixeira, who was previously held to death by Petroscu on the left side, came alive under Choi Yong-so, and he was not only confined to the wing, but switched back and forth between the left and the middle.
As a coach who started out in a 3-5-2 formation, Choi Yong-so has a deep understanding of his weaknesses – the interface between wingers, wingers and full-backs.
Teixeira's event was at this critical juncture.
In the thirteenth minute of the first half, Huang He participated in the attack as a winger very deeply, but the attack was successfully intercepted by Jiangsu Suning, the right side of the Longteng team was extremely empty, and Xiao Yunfan, who was transformed into a left wingback by Cui Longzhu, received the pass from the defender, and got rid of Yan Xiaoyu who returned to the defense with an acceleration and change of direction, and Jiangsu Suning formed a local numerical advantage on the left side.
Seeing Xiong Jian who was forcing over to defend, as a former teammate, Xiao Yunfan also knew that this was a kraft candy defensive player, so he chose to pass the ball to Teixeira for the first time, and then sprinted along the side to the bottom line.
After Teixeira got the ball, in addition to Roque Gill coming to defend, Dawn of the right central defender also pushed out to strengthen the thickness of the defense.
And Teixeira obviously believed in Xiao Yunfan's ability, he did not hold the ball in place and pause, but quickly knocked the ball to the latter, and then he turned around and inserted it into the penalty area, and Xiao Yunfan's ball happened to pass at this time.
In this attack, Jiangsu Suning played a beautiful two-to-three continuous wall-hitting cooperation, and completely broke through the defense on the right side of the Longteng team.
Teixeira, who received the ball in the penalty area, shot decisively, and the football bypassed Ma Yongli, who came over to fill the position, passed through the center of the penalty area that was completely empty because of the striker Ruoruo and the striker Ramirez, and then crossed the fingers that Huang Dawei struggled to pounce on the side, and drilled into the net.
Li Xin, who was in charge of the commentary, also shouted: "Oh! Teixeira's goal is so beautiful." This attack is a show of the individual abilities of Teixeira and Xiao Yunfan. ”
"Yes. It was a very dragon goal. As Li Xin's old partner, Dong Lu took over the conversation familiarly, "At the beginning of the season, Xiao Yunfan showed the ability to activate foreign aid, and this timely comeback gave the old club a hard blow." ”
"That's the quality of all the Dragons players. Li Xin obviously thinks highly of the Longteng team, "Their players generally have good running positions and accurate passing, although they have some shortcomings of one kind or another, but they can cooperate with high-level foreign aid, and in layman's terms, foreign aid can lead to move." So whether it is Petraescu who is gone or Choi Yongsu who is taking over now, they all value Xiao Yunfan very much. ”
"It can be said that the 100 million spent by Jiangsu Suning is worth the money. Dong Lu also gave a conclusion.
After the goal, Jiangsu Suning was booed by the fans of the Longteng team at home, and it was obvious that the goal was assisted by Xiao Yunfan, a former Longteng player, who made them particularly unhappy.
After conceding the goal, the players on the field of the Longteng team also made changes in attack, Roque Gill began to participate more in the attack, and the sweep of the midfield was completely handed over to Zhang Hao.
Zhang Sheng's adjustment effect is still obvious. Roque Gill as a foreign aid, he has a certain advantage in technology and body, after continuously putting pressure on Jiangsu Suning in the midfield, the midfielder of the Suning team, which was once extremely high, had to retreat, and Wu Xi, who had been jumping over and trying to insert the attack many times, was forced to stay in the position of the defensive back waist honestly.
Roque Gill's premise has a greater advantage that at least the team's offense no longer relies entirely on Xiong Jian to make a one-line contact with Yan Xiaoyu, this time Yan Xiaoyu is liberated, and as the core of the offensive organization of the Longteng team, he has more room to move.
In the twenty-seventh minute, it was Yan Xiaoyu, Xiong Jian and Roque Gill's triangular attack combination plus the addition of Huang He that played a wonderful chemical reaction, and finally Yan Xiaoyu sent a second pass to Zou Weijia, who got the opportunity to face the goalkeeper alone in the penalty area, but his shot was too blocked by Gu Chao out of the bottom line.
"The Dragons are finally alive now. Li Xin's explanation has an obvious bias, "This is how they should behave." ”
Dong Lu started the process of "creating data" again: "As long as the angle of Zou Weijia's shot just now is 5.8 percent cheaper, Gu Chao doesn't even have a chance to save." Next, the Dragons, who began to play 78.5 percent of their offensive strength, will obviously play more threatening. ”
