The day after the former head coach stepped down, the new head coach was officially announced, and you can imagine how impatient the Football Association was.

Compared with real history, the Football Association's secrecy work this time is very good, unless the people in the inner circle, everyone has not heard the rumors, what is the process of Lippi's appointment, what are the unknown secrets in the contract, the media have used their imagination, and they are almost made up to get close to science.

However, everyone believes that compared to Perrin, who was called "a man who can't survive the winter" in the media in France - meaning that he can't coach the team for a long time, and this time the winter in China has not yet arrived, he has already left - the salary of Lippi's team must be astronomical.

But no matter who it is, there is no question about the ability of Lippi's team, after all, whether it is Lippi's coaching experience in Europe or his coaching achievements in China, there is no doubt, everyone is generally optimistic that this famous coach has the ability and qualification to suppress the chaotic Chinese team and bring the team on the right track.

Zhang Sheng is happy to see the midfield substitution of this head coach, and Zhang Sheng knows the level of Lippi.

The determination of the head coach of the national team also put Zhang Sheng's hanging heart down during this time, and he can finally put his energy into the club wholeheartedly.

Since the last call for elite coaches, a wave of five consecutive wins in the league and the FA Cup, plus two draws in the AFC Champions League, Zhang Sheng got another 210 points, counting the remaining points before, the total score is as high as 260 points, Zhang Sheng has the opportunity to call again.

Since the system provided the opportunity to summon coaches, Zhang Sheng has understood how lacking excellent grassroots coaches are now.

In recent years, Longteng Group has relied on the influence of Longteng Club to expand on a large scale across the country, and football has become the business card of the group in various cities. From the very beginning of football real estate, the group has slowly developed into a business model that binds football education and cuts into the real estate - education - sports in the education industry.

In this business model, Longteng Group will cooperate with the school in the school district near the development of commercial real estate to provide the highest level of football youth training in the country, if there is no high-quality school, Longteng Group will even acquire its own local schools to improve the level of teaching, generally at this time, the local government will give certain support, deploy some excellent teachers to come over (provided by Longteng Group to provide a lot of bonuses for settling-in expenses), adjust some school districts to supplement enough students, etc.

The real estate market in 2016 gave Longteng Group a great opportunity to expand, from the first-tier cities to the third- and fourth-tier cities, to inventory, monetization shed reform wave after wave of good, so that Longteng Group invested in a large number of projects, in order to try to resist the market sinking to the third and fourth tier cities, the size of the opponent - Biguiyuan, Longteng Group also chose to do joint development with local influential developers.

In cooperation with friends, Longteng Group is the group's signboard and football school resources to obtain part of the shares of a project.

No matter which business model the above is, Longteng Group has a huge demand for excellent football coaches, and there are not so many coaching reserves in the market for Longteng Club to collect.

Zhang Zhijun discussed with Zhang Sheng many times about coach training, and finally formulated a plan that is: to lead the surface with points, to bring the old with the new, to bring the new with familiarity, and to promote the new with excellence.

The specific plan is to recruit a large number of excellent master's and undergraduate graduates of North Sports, Upper Body, and Jiangti, and at the same time, let the experienced and excellent youth coaches cultivated by Longteng Football School in recent years take them, driven by the Longteng team, the employment rate is low in recent years, the working environment is poor, and the salary level of low-level sports students has even been driven, and it is also considered to solve a large part of the employment problem, and the more so, the greater the government support that Longteng Group has obtained.

Zhang Sheng's 200 points this time are the two youth coaches who are called, and they are ready to put these two coaches into the football school project attached to the real estate jointly developed by Longteng Group in Chengdu and Langji Real Estate.

After summoning the two coaches, Zhang Sheng's eyes turned to the 2016 India U-16 Asian Junior Championship, which began on September 15 with a number of Longteng academy players participating.

Unlike history, the U16 Chinese team at that time was eliminated by South Korea in the 2015 qualifiers, and this time the Chinese team successfully qualified, turning the South Korean team into the team that was lucky to qualify with the best results in the second place in the group, otherwise South Korea would have even been eliminated.

In the Asian Junior Championship, China and Malaysia, Oman, and Iraq were placed in a group and got the status of the seeded players in the group.

The reason why Zhang Sheng paid special attention to the U16 echelon this year is because the head coach of the U16 national team has also changed this time, Li Ming, who coached before, has now become the Chinese coach, and De Roso, who is in charge of youth training in Lippi's team, has become the head coach.

And in this team, mainly in the 99-year-old group, including six players of the Longteng team: Wang Xing, Gong Yuzhe, Lu Yangyang, Ahmat Maimaiti, Chen Yinuo, Gao Yiyan, and the goalkeeper Song Dongdong, who Zhang Sheng is most concerned about, was originally of the right age, but unfortunately he was still in the recovery and adjustment period after major surgery.

After De Rosso took over the team, he did not change Li Ming's tactics first, but maintained the status quo, and the only thing he did was to highlight Wang Xing. As a player who has won the bronze medal with the national Olympic team, played in the Chinese Super League, and played in the AFC Champions League, Wang Xing has enough experience, and his height is really outstanding at this age, and he also has passing foot skills.

The organizing committee of the event, the AFC, put Wang Xing in the first place in the promotion of this event and focused on introducing his achievements.

Only Zhang Sheng knows that Wang Xing is the one with the lowest potential value among the players selected by the Longteng team this time, and his only advantage is that he debuted early and played a lot of national games.

In the first round of the national junior team's Malaysian game, Wang Xing did not disappoint everyone, his height of 1.93 meters has become a nightmare for Malaysian defenders, two beautiful headers in the first half basically announced the end of the game, when he completed the hat trick, the game only played 75 minutes, and the score of the Chinese team was already 4:0.

When the game ended, the score of 4:0 proved that the new young players of the Chinese team had grown up again.

With a relaxed mood, Zhang Sheng ushered in the weekend's home Super League match against Liaoning Hongyun.

The Chinese Super League has come to the 24th round, and the champion, AFC Champions League qualification and relegation have come to a white-hot stage. The Longteng team are three points ahead of second-placed Guangzhou Evergrande with one game less, and the situation is uncertain with six rounds left in the league.

In the AFC Champions League qualification area, Evergrande and Suning have a big score gap with the Shanghai duo behind them, and their two teams will compete for an AFC Champions League place.

Further down is the huge relegation zone, starting from the 30-point Yanbian Fude, to the last Shijiazhuang Yongchang with 18 points, there are still 6 rounds of games, everything is still difficult to say, such as Zhejiang Greentown, which was worry-free before, lost three rounds in a row, and reached the penultimate position at once, and the situation is very dangerous.

The opponent of the Longteng team, Liaoning Hongyun, is in an awkward position, with 27 points to win two more relegation games, if the follow-up continues to win, relegation is not impossible, so how to choose their points is very clear.

The high probability of losing in the away face of the Longteng team is the consensus reached internally by Liaoning Hongyun before the game, so they did not make more reservations on the field, and simply chose a more open defensive counterattack, rather than blindly defending, hoping to steal one.

The idea is very beautiful, the reality is very cruel, Tao Wentao, who had a good rest, became the protagonist in this game, he made several sets of operations in the forward position, first assisted Chavez to score a goal, and then used a long-range shot in front of the penalty area to expand the score to 2:0.After the second half, Zou Weijia, who substituted Chavez, also received the cake fed to Tao Wentao's mouth, and easily pushed the goal, and fixed the score at 3:0.

This is another player who has exploded at club level after returning from the national team.

According to the outside media: "This is a fancy show to the new coach of the national team, Lippi: look at me, look at me, look at me." ”

Longteng team obtained, catching up Guangzhou Evergrande did not slow down, in the away challenge to the third Jiangsu Suning in the league in the key battle, although the back line conceded two goals, but Diego Costa's brace and Gaolin's fairy goal changed the fate of the 0:2 loss in history, it can only be said that Diego Costa's ability The vast majority of the Super League teams really can't take him.

The headline of the media report focusing on Guangzhou Evergrande is: Diego Costa, the alien of the Chinese Super League.

After the end of this game, the Longteng team, which was supposed to play the second leg of the FA Cup, arranged a make-up match, and other teams were still resting, they were going to Zhengzhou to challenge Henan Jianye, and if they were to challenge Shanghai SIPG away last weekend, it can be said that the Longteng team will play five games in a row in two weeks, including the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League, and the fourth in the league away from home such a high-intensity event.

The entire team of the Longteng team can be said to be embarrassed by the schedule.

And in the first round of the confrontation with Henan Jianye, the Longteng team won not easily, Jia Xue's guidance position was very low, relying on the black and hard, fast foreign aid striker in front of the charge, the back line also placed a frontal defensive ability of the foreign aid central defender, the Longteng team did not score two goals until the last moment of the game to win.

When it came to the two Friday matches of the Longteng team, the game with Henan Jianye was even more difficult to play.

Considering the extreme physical weakness of the team, Zhang Sheng made a big rotation to the starting lineup for the team again.

On the back line, from the national team to the club, Ma Yongli, who ran a lot in consecutive battles, couldn't bear it, Du Zhenyu, who had rested for a round, came on the field to replace him, and the two wingbacks on the right Huang He replaced Xiang Tiange to start, while Ni Kai on the left could only grit his teeth and insist; Zhang Hao and Xiong Jian in the middle of the midfield came on the field to let Roque Gill and Qi Ming rest; Zou Weijia started in the front line, and Chavez sat on the bench.

This is the second time this season that the Longteng team has played in the league with a starting all-Chinese lineup.

Zhang Sheng thought that Jia Xuegui would be more open when he met his all-Chinese class, but he was wrong.

Coach Jia, who has always been cautious, even in the face of the all-Chinese Longteng team, is cowering to play defensive counterattacks, as if it is completely acceptable to take a point at his home stadium.

Most of these players on the Longteng team this time are substitutes, in order to be able to fight for the main position in the future, they work extremely hard, many times the half-goal, they are just a little faster than the opponent, only ten minutes into the game, the Longteng team got three free kicks in the front.

Henan Jianye is not without opportunities, their foreign strikers are very fast, and even in the 23rd minute of the first half, the counterattack allowed Huang He, who was a little close to assist, to receive a yellow card when he returned to the defense. This forced the Dragons to devote some of their energy to defense.

When the first half passed, Henan Jianye held the goal steadily.

In the second half, the Longteng team, which had shot as many as 17 times wildly, finally scored a goal, and this goal was Ni Kai's shot that hit the sideline of the Jianye defender before accidentally hitting the goal.

Of course, more shots on goal will result in more goals, and this is a probability-assured.

After the goal, the Longteng team played the pass control with peace of mind, and Henan Jianye was pouring out of the nest, attacking around the Longteng team, when the final score was fixed at 0:1, the Longteng team was retreating at Jianye's home field, and it was worth it to hold on to the 3 points, and it was worth losing face.

After the game, Zhang Sheng bluntly said that he was lucky today, but Coach Jia was unhappy with a black face.

The Longteng team, which curled up three points, breathed a sigh of relief after this game, because not only did Nie Jiang return from injury after two weeks of recuperation, but several players who participated in the U19 International Invitational Tournament have returned to the club for almost a week, even if they are all substitute players, their physical fitness is enough to make up for the vacancy in the current team.

At this time, Zhang Sheng went to see the results of the Asian Junior Championship, and did not regret that even if the bench was almost dissatisfied, he still let these players go to the game, and the U16 Chinese team defeated the Oman team 2:1, drew 0:0 with the Iraqi team, and beat Iraq to the first place in the group through the advantage of goal difference, in which Wang Xing contributed a goal again, expanding the number of goals in his event to 4, and the team will play the North Korean team in the quarterfinals on September 26.

Seeing the players he cultivated once again shine on the international stage, Zhang Shengda was happy in his heart.

Zhang Sheng has paid enough attention to the upcoming collision with Shanghai SIPG, even if Shanghai Port is now on the side of Aishen, Conca is injured and cannot play, Hulk, who has returned from injury, makes Zhang Sheng not take it lightly, because the explosive ability of the Hulk on the court is really huge.

When asked by reporters before the game how the Longteng team should deal with the Brazilian star, Zhang Sheng was neither humble nor arrogant: "He is a superstar and has the ability to score anywhere on the field, but football is not played alone, and Hulk cannot decide the game alone, the important thing is the team." ”

Hulk, for his part, was modest: "It's a shame that I got injured when I first came to the team, I'm not at my best yet, but I'll do my best to get the three points. ”

SIPG's head coach Eriksen is also very good at being a person, first praised the strength of the Longteng team, and then began to give the Longteng team medicine: "Unlike the Longteng team, our goal is to win the AFC Champions League next season, the game is difficult, but we will do our best." ”

This gesture can be said to be very low.
