67. It's been a dad

During the signing of the personal contract with Sporting Lisbon, Zhang Sheng gave Xu Mingyu many suggestions, the first of which was to let him strengthen his physical exercise after going to Europe, although Xu Mingyu's body is now very strong among domestic players, but the level of confrontation in the European League is far beyond his imagination. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xu Mingyu listened to Zhang Sheng's suggestions, after all, in the two years since he came to the team, Zhang Sheng's coaching achievements have made him very prestigious. However, Xu Mingyu is also very confident in his upcoming trip to Europe. It seems that the domestic competitions in the past two years and the World Youth Championships have completely built up his confidence.

After completely solving Xu Mingyu's matter, Zhang Sheng, who was originally going to prepare for Rangnick's arrival, had no time. Because on the night of July 18, Ye Ting gave birth to a son to Zhang Sheng, and Zhang Sheng was officially upgraded to be a father. As a person in two lives, Zhang Sheng, even if he had 2 children in his previous life, he was also a famous coach who scolded Fang Xuan on the field and was sought after by players and fans, but when his children were born, Zhang Sheng still had that kind of situation of dancing with his hands and his head blank.

His own children are equivalent to the continuation of his own bloodline, and it is not until now that Zhang Sheng has a sense of reality that he has come to this world. Previously, when calling the system countless times, Zhang Sheng felt that he was in an illusory digital world, but now the birth of the child made him finally feel that this world was real in front of him.

In the face of Zhang Sheng's snubbing, Rangnick seemed very generous, after all, as a father, he also knew the excitement and busyness after having his own child. While Zhang Sheng was busy taking care of Ye Ting, Rangnick decided to observe the first-team players of the Longteng team and the young players of the Longteng Football School first, after all, the club that can have excellent players like Qin Minghao and Li Yun should also have other good seedlings.

But the first thing that interested him was the several foreign players in the first team of Longteng, who, in his opinion, all have the strength to play in the Bundesliga. Among them, N'Golo Kante and Riyad Mahrez have unlimited potential. The next thing that made him optimistic was Ding Huaiyi, who was still playing as a substitute, but he felt sorry for Ding Huaiyi's physical condition.

Finally, in the Longteng Football School, he saw Nie Jiang. For this young player under the age of 16, Rangnick really likes it too much. Nie Jiang shocked Rangnick very much in terms of technique, speed, and awareness. At the same time, he is also glad that he has time to slowly observe the situation of the Longteng club and the football school, in his opinion, both the first team and the football school have enough talented players.

To this end, Rangnick also carefully asked the youth director Heiko Fogel who he invited from Germany for the Dragons. He wondered why the Dragons had such a buildable talent.

In the face of Rangnick's inquiry, Fogel appeared confident: "Because China has a large enough population, and there are enough geniuses. ”

"Then why was Chinese football so backward before?" Rangnick asked rhetorically.

Fogel also made a joke: "Maybe it's because I didn't come." Then Fogel said very seriously: "Because no one invested in Chinese football before. ”

Rangnick shook his head: "But China's professional league has been around for a long time. ”

Fogel was disdainful: "Those are not called investment, they are called speculation." I have been in China for a few months, and from the information I have collected before, the investment of clubs in China in football is basically mainly in the first team, and the investment in youth teams is very small, and even if there is investment, it is one-sided, and there is no complete system. In the early days, China had a player selection and training system similar to that of East Germany, but it was completely abandoned later. ”

Seeing Rangnick nod, Fogel continued: "But now the Dragon Club is completely different from most clubs, they have been planning a long-term development system for young players since they started to build the first team, and they have invested a lot of money. I have seen the financial report of Longteng Football School before, their total investment in the first year is 3500w, including the acquisition of football school facilities and personnel, in the second year, without the need to buy a large number of fixed assets, they invested more, there are nearly 4000w, and this year when I took over, the budget of the football school was as high as 5000w, and at the same time they planned to spread the branch schools of the football school to various cities in Hubei Province. Do you know how many people there is in this province of China, where we are located?"

Rangnick also asked cooperatively, "How much?"

"Nearly 6000w of people. If you think about it, the whole of Germany is only a little more than 8000w, and this province is only 6000w, plus some areas of the neighboring provinces covered by our football school, the total population is more than Germany. Therefore, it should be said that we have a football selection base. And most of the young players in our team now come from these regions. With a huge population base, a lot of money invested every year, and then we are professional coaches, I believe that as long as the Dragon Club persists, there may be more good players. To be honest, I'm passionate about what I do right now because the possibilities are endless. Fogel said excitedly.

Hearing Fogel say this, Rangnick nodded silently. Now he is more eager to get Qin Minghao and Li Yun, as long as he does the first business with the Longteng Club and lays a good foundation for communication, then the prospects for future cooperation will be broader.

But now Zhang Sheng has no time to take care of these things, even in the Chinese League on July 20, Zhang Sheng also deliberately asked for leave and did not command the game, instead of Zhang Sheng commanding the assistant head coach Lao Xing, and the assistant to him is Zhang Sheng returned to China from the Jiangcheng Sports Institute to Longteng Club for internship and work He Lijun, he is also Zhang Sheng's coach who was single-handedly pulled up after Jiang Peng went to Germany for further study, and another is the German assistant coach Schurrle.

In the face of the visiting Hunan Xiangtao team, the players of Longteng obviously did not want to add to the blockage in the big day of the head coach, and most of the main team returned to Longteng team to win at home with a crushing advantage.

Only 3 minutes into the opening game, Deng Chaoqun, who returned to the team's main striker, used a clever run to score a goal. After the goal, Deng Chaoqun and his teammates once again danced a cradle dance on the sidelines.

Ding Fan, who was in charge of the commentary, also said: "Haha! This should be the best gift from Deng Chaoqun and his Longteng teammates to their head coach Zhang Sheng." It is reported that just the day before yesterday, Zhang Sheng, the head coach of the Longteng team, just had a son. In fact, I think Zhang Sheng should be a strong candidate for the current head coach of the national team, the current head coach of the national team Fu Bo is just a transitional coach, and Zhang Sheng's level of player training ability and on-the-spot command ability is very high. ”

In fact, this topic of Ding Fan is not the first time that someone has raised it. After Zhang Sheng led the Longteng team from the second division to the middle league, some local media in Jiangcheng asserted that Zhang Sheng was far more suitable for the national youth team than the current youth team head coach Rick Link.

But after this World Youth Championships, Zhang Sheng's ability to Rick Link has changed to a certain extent. Zhang Sheng found that he was not a coach suitable for coaching a weak team, because his stubborn all-attack and all-defense football tactics were only suitable for players who fit this tactic to be executed, and with the strength of the previous players of the Chinese national youth team, they absolutely did not have this ability.

So in the game that everyone saw him commanding, the Chinese team couldn't attack or defend it. When this group of players from the Longteng team joined the national youth team, the team had a lot of changes in both the game scene and the results of the game. At least Zhang Sheng thought that his ability to finish third at most in this World Youth Championships would not be much better than that of Rick Link.

In fact, it is not difficult to see from the results of Rick Link who coached the Turkish Super League giants Galatasaray after the termination of the contract with the Chinese Football Association, it is not difficult to see that this Turkish Super League giant has good players, and after being banned by UEFA, he focuses on the domestic market, and his performance in winning the Turkish Cup and the Turkish Super Cup in a row, as long as he is given good players, he can still have good results.

Therefore, Zhang Sheng is secretive about the position of the head coach of the national youth team proposed by the outside world, and the outside world has lost the opportunity to hype.

And after Zhang Sheng led the Longteng team to sweep the Chinese League to create a new winning streak, coupled with Camacho's defeat of Maicheng, not only the media in Jiangcheng, but also many sports media began to discuss the head coach of the national team, among which Zhang Sheng's voice is not small. There are even fans who are extremely disappointed with the national team who say that they simply send the players of the national youth team to replace the national team players, and the players and the head coach are replaced together.

However, Zhang Sheng knows that the current Football Association is still very superstitious about foreign teachers. It wasn't until the end that even the high-level foreign coaches were involved in a mess in the domestic football world and failed again, that the Football Association used a local coach like Gao Hongbo as a last resort. It's not that foreign teachers are bad, but that the expectations of foreign teachers at home are too high, and there are too many constraints.

However, the players on the field probably don't want Zhang Sheng to leave the team, because the performance of the players next lets everyone know how popular Zhang Sheng is in the team. In the next game, the players of the Longteng team continued to work hard in the first half for 15 minutes, and in the 31st minute, Qin Minghao and Lin Feng scored two more goals to expand the score to 3:0.

And the score of 3:0 in only 30 minutes of the first half made this game lose suspense. In the second half, the players continued to chase down, and Mahrez scored twice to lock the score at 5:0.

Zhang Sheng also seemed very calm about the result of this game, the gap between the strength of the two teams was too big, and Longteng was still at home, and a big victory was expected. According to the comments of fans of the Hunan Xiangtao team on the Internet after the game: "Nima, it really doesn't matter if the Longteng team has a head coach or not." I think even if the leash dog is in the position of head coach, he can win casually. (To be continued.) )
