The victory in the game not only allowed the team to win a streak and swept away the depression of the consecutive draws some time ago, but also Zhang Sheng's points reached 210 points, which can be called again.

Zhang Sheng is going to recruit an assistant coach this time.

As the granularity of the Dragons' tactics becomes more and more fine, the situation in the past where the head coach alone has mastered all the tactical details is no longer suitable for the current team, which is actually a major trend in modern football - the task of the coaching staff is getting heavier and heavier.

In this regard, compared with other Chinese Super League teams, the Longteng team is not only far ahead but also has an absolute advantage.

When Zhang Sheng came back from Germany, he began to set up a huge coaching team in advance, from old classmates to old teammates, from domestic elites to foreign masters, the coaching staff team of the Longteng team is getting stronger and stronger, even so, Zhang Sheng still spared no effort to send domestic coaches like Jiang Peng to Germany for further study.

Now in the team of the Longteng team, there are local coaches like Jiang Peng who have returned from further study, and there are also foreign coaches like Schurrle who were poached from Germany by Zhang Sheng's salary, and He Lijun, another coach who has been following Zhang Sheng, has been sent to Germany to study at the beginning of the season.

In addition to the assistant coach, there is also an assistant coaching team in the Longteng team who is responsible for offensive tactical design, defensive tactical design, and pressing tactical design to report to them.

The Longteng team has been able to have excellent results in recent years, and the coaching staff team has taken the lead.

It's a pity that "blessings and misfortunes depend on, and blessings and misfortunes are blessings", excellent results bring a lot of attention, and the coach of the Longteng team is also hot when the players are spied on by other teams.

More importantly, excellent coaches are generally very professional, no matter how good the assistant coach is, there is no more attractive position of the head coach, under the deliberate seduction of other teams, someone is shaken, this person is the team's German assistant coach Schurrle, looking for him is Hangzhou Greentown, which was relegated last year.

Although it is only a Chinese team, but Hangzhou Greentown's sincerity is very full, they fancy Xu Erle's experience in the Longteng team with Zhang Sheng's large number of young players to enable and train young players, and also expect him to make good use of the young players of the Greentown team, cultivate more good players, for this club to give him a great degree of freedom to use players, but also did not put forward the slogan of surpassing, so that he has a lot less pressure on the results.

"Zhang, thank you very much for letting me come to the Chinese Super League. But I think it's time to start a new phase. As early as the third round of the league, Schurrle submitted his resignation to Zhang Sheng.

He was very reluctant to Schurle Zhang Sheng. He can speak English, German, and simple Spanish, which can help Zhang Sheng communicate with foreign aid; long-term cooperation allows him to understand Zhang Sheng's various tactical ideas; he has a certain network in Europe, and can help Zhang Sheng provide some information on the latest technical and tactical developments in European football, which cannot be replaced by just finding an assistant coach, even if the person he finds has a higher salary and more experience.

At the same time, Zhang Sheng also knows the attraction of a head coach position to a coach, Hangzhou Greentown appointed the team's goalkeeper coach Dravko as the head coach after Hong Mingfu left class, making it clear that it is a transitional process, and Schurrle will never give up this opportunity.

"Well, I support your idea, but I still hope you can leave after handing over to the assistant coach you've taken over. Zhang Sheng put forward his own request.

Schurrle solemnly promised: "Of course, but I hope it will be soon." ”

After knowing that he could not keep Schurrle, Zhang Sheng has been waiting for the points to summon the assistant coach, after all, he is also happy to see the Longteng team expand its influence in Chinese football.

Just as business forms a consortium and the stock market forms a certain department, football in most countries will eventually evolve into several large factions or groups after it is fully developed.

For example, multinational sports companies such as City Sports Group and Red Bull Group, such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and other giants with a certain club as the core of the main-satellite club model, or simply a giant like Juventus who controls the thunder and lightning in one country.

This is also the final form of a club after it becomes bigger and stronger, and the Longteng Club is actually walking on this road.

There have been no such examples in Chinese football, such as the Shide system that really existed before, and Jackma, who was too obviously interested in money and wanted to hold two Chinese Super League clubs at the same time.

Zhang Sheng's practice of sending his own trained players and coaches to his own training is far more subtle and silent than the examples mentioned above.

As soon as the call of the assistant coach was completed, Zhang Sheng received a phone call, and the phone number showed that it started with +49, obviously, this was a phone number from abroad and familiar to Zhang Sheng, Germany.

"Hi, Zhang. Because it was a cross-border call, the signal was not very good, and the voice on the phone seemed a little intermittent.

But Zhang Sheng still heard who it was, this is Ralph Rangnick, Zhang Sheng's biggest relationship in German football.

"Hi, Ralph. Zhang Sheng probably knew the reason for Rangnick's call, and since Schurrle asked to leave, Zhang Sheng contacted Rangnick and asked him to help find a new assistant coach.

are all people who don't like nonsense, and Rangnick directly introduced his results: "The person you want, I helped you find one, and the information has been sent to you." ”

As a partner club, helping the Dragons find the right coach is written into the contract, so Red Bull Salzburg is very active on their side.

"Thank you so much. In the future, I will have time to gather in China. Now that things have been settled, Zhang Sheng soon began to say goodbye.

"Don't be so nervous, Zhang. Rangnick smiled, "Although you have rejected me countless times, I still want to ask when Nie will be released to Europe, we can't wait." ”

"......" Zhang Sheng was a little speechless, but he still gave the time point for the first time, "Not surprisingly, it should be after the World Cup qualifiers of the Chinese national team." ”

"Wow. It's not easy to get this answer, so I'm going to look forward to that day. "I got the answer from Zhang Sheng's mouth, which should be Rangnick's biggest gain this time.

Red Bull Salzburg helped the team, and Zhang Sheng had to give a little response this time.

After a period of idle talk, the two of them, who had both gotten what they wanted, hung up the phone.

Just after the call with Rangnick, another call came, and this one also started with +49, which was a coincidence!

"Hello, uncle. A demonic voice came.

"Oh, Demi, why did you remember to call me? Zhang Sheng immediately heard that this was his Argentine brother in Germany, Martin Demichelis, and replied happily, "We haven't been in touch for too long." ”

"Oh, what a failure, I held my throat down, and you still heard it. Demi smiled, "Recently, I happened to be free, and I wanted to go to China to see you." Forget it, I'll just say it, our coaching staff was fired by the club, I'm unemployed now, and I want to go to your place. ”

"Come on. Zhang Sheng didn't say much, sometimes it is better to do what friends say.

"Wait for me, I'm going to have a good time in China this time. Demichelis didn't talk much nonsense, "I'll be there in a week." ”

It seems that Demichelis has been ready for a long time - the visa has been in place for a long time.

Although he is looking forward to the upcoming assistant coach and old buddy, Zhang Sheng does not have much energy to take care of these things, because the team is about to fly to Thailand to challenge Mongthong United.

As a Thai team, Mong Thong United can be said to be the biggest dark horse in this year's AFC Champions League. In the first round of the AFC Champions League group, they lost 0:4 away to Longteng, everyone thought that this was the Thai club's position in the AFC Champions League, but in the next three games, they defeated Kashima Antlers 2:1 at home, defeated Ulsan Hyundai 1:0, and drew 0:0 away to Ulsan Hyundai, maintaining three rounds of unbeaten, 7 points suddenly made them occupy the second position in Group E, and three points higher than the third-ranked Kashima Antlers.

Therefore, as long as Mongthong United can remain unbeaten in this game, they can advance to the AFC Champions League knockout stage one round in advance, becoming the first Thai club to break into the AFC Champions League knockout stage after Buriram United, another Thai Super League team that reached the AFC Champions League round of 16 in 2013.

For this reason, the morale of the whole team is high, and the owner of Thailand's largest real estate developer has offered a huge winning prize of 5 million baht (1 million yuan), which is rare in the Thai Super League.

The Longteng team is now ranked first in the group with 10 points, and has qualified because of the win-loss relationship with Kashima Antlers, but Zhang Sheng does not want to give up this game casually, even if the coach of Kashima Antlers specifically mentioned before the game that he hoped that the Longteng team would not release the water, Zhang Sheng still sent a semi-main force and half rotation lineup.

In response to the configuration of three tall foreign aides in the backfield of Mengtong United and a high school forward in the frontcourt, Zhang Sheng rested Nie Jiang and put on the taller 21-year-old young center Tang Jin, which was also his first AFC Champions League game experience.

Considering that De Paul returned from injury not long ago, Zhang Sheng didn't want him to continue to fight at high intensity, so he was placed on the bench and played Ni Kai, a fast horse on the left side.

Huang He on the right side replaced Xiang Tiange, Tao Wentao in the middle was replaced by Fernando, and Qu Wenming started again because of his excellent performance in two consecutive games.

It can be said that this lineup is not much worse than the usual starting lineup, and Zhang Sheng believes that his chances of winning are still very good.

It wasn't until the game that Zhang Sheng realized that the problem was wrong, and Meng Tonglian's side was playing too crazy.

Former Spanish youth team striker Sisco, who participated in the 2009 European U21 Championship, gave Lu Yangyang great pressure, Zhang Sheng originally expected Lu Yangyang to be able to take the ball in the backfield and pass the ball, but as soon as the first half started, Sisco snatched the ball hard, and it was obvious that Lu Yangyang was lightly defeated.

For Lu Yangyang's low-level mistake, Qu Wenming, who made up for the position, not only received a yellow card, but also gave Meng Tonglian a free kick with a very good position in the front.

Standing in front of the ball was none other than the captain of the Thai national team, Tirathong Boon Matan.

The attacking left wing-back, born in 1990, has been playing for Buriram United, another giant in the Thai Super League, and he has been a regular in the team since the age of 20 and has been selected for the national team, especially when it comes to set-pieces, scoring directly or assisting team-mates to score.

In May last year, Mongthong United poached him directly with a record transfer fee of 35 million baht (about 7 million yuan) in Thailand, and the team also has a weapon to attack free kicks.

"The Dragons are slow to get into shape. "Because it is not a focus event, PPTV sent the cheapest combination of Shi Qingsheng and Lu Jingming, after all, it is free. Shi Qingsheng was a little dissatisfied with the current situation on the field of the Longteng team.

"Yes, I feel that the players of the Longteng team don't attach much importance to this game, maybe it is the league and the long-distance flight a few days ago that have not slowed down?" Lu Jingming put forward his own guess.

"But you have to come mentally in advance, Wen Ma Tan can have such a kick, 13 years of Seoul FC, 15 years of Osaka Gamba, this year's Kashima Antlers were all directly broken through by his free kicks, or even corner kicks. Shi Qingsheng skillfully introduced the historical data.

In Shi Qingsheng's introduction, it was really said that Wen Ma Tan kicked a free kick in an absolute dead corner and flew directly to the upper right corner of the goal, although Huang Dawei tried his best to save, but he still failed to prevent the football from flying into the net.

"Wen Ma Tan, shot, oops, the ball went in, this goal is really beautiful, Mengtong United is leading 1:0, do they want to keep the home team win?" Shi Qingsheng shouted, "The away team is based on defense, the home team is attacking with all its might, and Mengtong United's AFC Champions League strategy is very successful." ”

After the goal, Wen Ma Tan jumped to the sidelines, and a standard Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated with his hands on his waist after scoring a goal, which attracted the crazy roars of the fans at the Huangxiang Cement Stadium.

Losing the ball so early, the players of the Longteng team obviously did not react, after kicking off again, Fernando on the right side was obsessed with dribbling the ball, and was once again cut off by the midfielder of Monttone United.

"Toot!" the referee blew the whistle and came over to give Fernando a verbal warning, which was regarded as to take care of the emotions of the Longteng players, and did not issue consecutive yellow cards.

After this foul, although the Longteng team prevented Meng Tonglian's attack, the subsequent attack was very impatient, although there was no low-level mistake such as passing directly to the sideline between the players, the accuracy of the pass was much worse than before, especially on the last pass forward, Tao Wentao and Nie Jiang were not on the field, which was obviously not in place.

In addition, the Mengtong United players who were fighting at home were very active in the cheers of the fans, and the Longteng team was very pressed, and the two forwards had to retreat very deep to receive the ball, and Mengtonglian suppressed the Longteng team.

Shi Qingsheng shook his head and said, "It's not okay to fight like this. Slow to enter the state, and too impatient later, there were some problems in the most controlled midfield of the Longteng team in the past, and Coach Zhang Sheng should think about how to adjust it. ”
