100. Divergence
It can be seen from Perran's tactics that he wants to play a defensive counterattack, but unfortunately the effect is not obvious.
Thirty minutes after the first half of the game, the score between the two sides was still 0:0, and at this time, Lin Feng began to be a little willful and wanted to show himself.
What Zhang Sheng didn't know was that Lin Feng knew the news that Zhang Sheng wanted to send him to Hungary to play before the game, which was a bit difficult for Lin Feng, who thought highly of himself.
Several players who went out before the Longteng team, Li Yun and Qin Minghao are now strong teams in the German Second Division, and promotion is just around the corner, Ding Huaiyi, a player who only started to contact professional football at the age of 18, is now also playing for Red Bull Salzburg, a regular in the Europa League, Xu Mingyu has also played in Sporting Lisbon, although it was in the B team, and now Xu Mingyu is still playing in the team of the Portuguese League.
And thinking that he was going to go to the Hungarian First League, which was not famous, or a team without a reputation, Lin Feng especially wanted to show himself now and tell everyone - you think wrong, I am the real core player.
In the thirty-fifth minute of the first half, Lin Feng began to dribble the ball after taking the ball in the midfield, but unfortunately just a few steps, the ball was broken by Qatar's defenders, and soon Qatar used the Chinese national team to press the offensive state to play a beautiful quick counterattack, fortunately Zheng Zhi behind Lin Feng, the central defender Li Yun intercepted continuously, and goalkeeper Wang Dalei made a wonderful save to block the opponent's shot.
Lin Feng also realized his mistake and hurriedly raised his hand to apologize.
In the end, at the end of the first half, the score of the two sides was still 0:0.
For this competition process, Zhang Sheng was extremely dissatisfied. Perrin forcibly dismantled the inherent offensive routine of the Chinese team, defended for the sake of conservatism, but played in a mess, and I don't know how he will adjust in the second half.
At the start of the second half, Perrin seemed to be very satisfied with the score and did not make any personnel changes.
The second half of the game was also boring, Lin Feng was strengthened by the opponent, and the two wings were scrapped, and the Chinese team's offense was really inspiring.
Until the last ten minutes of the game, Xu Mingyu and Qin Minghao played in Europe after all, and their physical fitness and confrontation ability far exceeded that of their domestic teammates.
In the thirty-third minute of the second half, Qin Minghao suddenly accelerated and broke through in the front, and then his shot in the penalty area was saved by the Qatari goalkeeper outside the penalty area.
After the goal, Lin Feng began to celebrate wildly, and Pei Lan also seemed overjoyed.
And the fans who have been complaining about the poor play of the Chinese team have forgotten that they were worried a few minutes ago, after all, for them, football games, as long as there are leading goals, everything else is not a problem.
After the goal, the Chinese team appeared more conservative, completely retracted by the formation and was passively beaten, the Qatar team also continued to make substitutions to impact the Chinese team's defense, fortunately, Zheng Zhi's experience is very rich, the back line led by Li Yun is also firm enough, Wang Dalei did not make any mistakes, and finally the Chinese national team narrowly defeated the opponent by one goal away from home, and took advantage in the group stage.
Although the Chinese team narrowly won this game, the fans were 10,000 satisfied with the result of the game - it seems to be a great thing to win the biggest opponent in the group away from home.
But in Zhang Sheng's view, this is really nothing to praise, this Chinese team can be said to be created by Zhang Sheng in recent years, I didn't expect the top 40 of the world preliminaries to be so difficult, so when it comes to the top 12 of the main game, how should the team play the game?
On the contrary, many media are helping Perrin to shake off the blame, and the future of qualifying for the top 40 is bright, defeating an opponent away for the first time in history, and winning in Doha in the world preliminary tournament for the first time in history, Perran's prestige seems to have reached an incomparably high height.
When some more sober people mentioned that Peilan's tactics were dull and chaotic and did not play the real strength of the Chinese team, many people retorted: "People who have never played in the World Preliminary Tournament don't know the tension of such a game, and they don't know that the degree of confrontation in such a game is far higher than any Chinese Super League and AFC Champions League game." ”
Although there is some truth in this rebuttal, when Zhang Sheng really wanted to ask: "Is it possible that with such a request, the Chinese team can qualify for the World Cup qualifiers this time?"
It's a pity that at this time, as a party with domestic interests, Zhang Sheng will definitely not say such a thing, and can only say that the Chinese team's years of poor results have made it too easy for Chinese fans to be satisfied - a problematic victory in the top 40 of the world preliminary tournament made them ecstatic.
Zhang Sheng still remembers the carnival of all the fans after the Chinese team qualified for the top 40 before he crossed over, just like the Chinese team had already qualified for the World Cup.
A player with such a big and powerful country, a first-class league in Asia, and the highest salary, as their fans, should not underestimate themselves.
After the game, Zhang Sheng also received a phone call that made him very uneasy, and Lin Feng took the initiative to call and ask, "Coach, how is the performance of my national team?"
Zhang Sheng first congratulated him on his goal: "To score the winning goal shows that you have enough goals and desire to win, which is a very rare mentality. ”
When Lin Feng thought that Zhang Sheng would praise himself next, Zhang Sheng's tone became lighter: "Actually, you played very average in this game, if you didn't have that goal, you could even say that you didn't play well." ”
Zhang Sheng's words made Lin Feng on the other end of the phone very embarrassed.
Needless to say, the Chinese national team has received a lot of praise since the goal in this game, and Lin Feng has become a "hero" in all media reports.
The video of Lin Feng's goal is the headline in all the media, and the replay video of his goal has been clicked on many websites for tens of thousands, and more than millions, and for a time, he has become the most powerful and promising midfielder in China, "China's most modern B2B midfielder", "the command tower of the Chinese national team", "Chinese Gerrard" All kinds of titles that don't want money have been thrown on his head.
Many media also predicted when Lin Feng would go to Europe to play, and more fans even associated a bunch of European giants with Lin Feng.
When Zhang Sheng analyzed Lin Feng's various mistakes in this game one by one, Lin Feng didn't listen to a word at all on the other end of the phone, but Zhang Sheng's long-standing prestige made Lin Feng dare not open his mouth to refute.
In the end, Zhang Sheng thought that Lin Feng had listened to everything, and was happy to tell him that when he had helped him find a European team, Lin Feng's resentment was already very deep.
Especially when Zhang Sheng mentioned the name of the Hungarian First Division and the Ubisti Club, Lin Feng blurted out: "I think this club is too bad." ”
Zhang Sheng, who was still full of enthusiasm, was suddenly choked by Lin Feng's reply, and at this time Zhang Sheng realized that maybe he didn't know this young man's mentality so well.
Soon Zhang Sheng changed the topic: "Regarding the issue of staying abroad, we can wait for you to return to the club to discuss." ”
In fact, Zhang Sheng, who said this, also knew that there was already a big gap between himself and Lin Feng, and next season may be the time for the two to say goodbye, and maybe it is time for Zhang Sheng to make further adjustments to his team.
"In my own team, there are more young people who are better than Lin Feng. Zhang Sheng thought, "When there is a gap between the core of a team's offensive organization and the head coach, the hidden dangers must be eliminated first." ”
Lin Feng on the other end of the phone also hung up the phone with a very unconvinced voice.
Zhang Sheng shook his head very unhappily, but when he thought of the national youth team game that had just ended, these unhappiness were immediately left behind.
In the preliminaries of the just-concluded Asian Youth Championships, Longteng players Peng Langjun and Wu Qingmin were absolutely the main players in the game, and in the three matches against Malaysia, Macau, China and North Korea, the Chinese national youth team won 8:0, 9:0, 5 respectively: 0 defeated the opponent, Peng Langjun's extremely sharp breakthrough on the side can be said to be one person to beat all opponents, Wu Qingmin scored 10 goals in three games, these goals include headers, left and right foot shots, long-range shots, etc., showing its full display on the front line.
And what Zhang Sheng is most concerned about is the 2015 Chile World Junior Championships that is about to officially start, the national junior team participating in the World Junior Championships is completely based on the Longteng team, and it can be said that the Longteng team has contributed all its strength.
Although on October 21, the Longteng team still had such a super crucial AFC Champions League second leg game against Guangzhou Evergrande at home, Zhang Sheng still put his main striker Nie Jiang, the main goalkeeper Huang Dawei, and Cao Jinghao, who had an extremely good performance against Guangzhou Evergrande in the last game, and the team's regular substitutes Liming and Xiang Tiange were all released to play the World Junior Championship.
For this reason, it is said that Guangzhou Evergrande is almost happy to jump up, so that the two core players of the team will leave before the game, and a large number of bench strength players will not want it, which is definitely their biggest benefit.
In fact, Zhang Sheng was also worried about this matter before, but in order to let these young players be familiar with the international arena earlier, and be able to see more powerful teams and players from the outside world, Zhang Sheng believes that it is worth it.
Of course, there are other reasons for Zhang Sheng's confidence, even if the players of these national junior teams are not present, those Longteng team players who are now participating in the warm-up matches in the national Olympic team are Zhang Shengken's greatest confidence to let them go.
In order to simulate the upcoming Olympic opponents Iran and Syria, they invited the African powerhouse Egypt to play two warm-up matches.
Historically, the two games ended with one draw and one loss, and now a large number of Longteng team rotations and even the main players on the field make the game different.
The Longteng team and the group of players on loan are generally above 70 now, for example, core players like Xiong Jian have an ability index of 78, and a lot of game experience also makes them far smarter and more stable than the historical national Olympic team.
In the first game, the Egyptian team that just came to China because the adaptability is not very good, lost the game 1:3 neatly, after the game, the Egyptian Olympic team coach Hussein Elbadri congratulated the Chinese team on playing a good game, and also praised the Chinese Olympic team, but still seemed very unconvinced, he believes that after being familiar with the Chinese environment and the Chinese team players, his team should play better.
Sure enough, in the second warm-up game, the Egyptian team showed 100% of their ability, and in the end, China still took advantage of the home field and defeated the opponent 1:0.
In these two games, Zou Weijia, the center of the Longteng team, scored two goals in two games alone, Xiong Jian's organizational tandem in the midfield was obviously much higher than that of many players, and Zhang Sheng thought that his biggest gain was Qi Ming and Zhou Wei.
Qi Ming's dispatch in the midfield position is quite general-style, and he also scored a header, showing his offensive talent.
As for Zhou Wei, it was originally a player that Zhang Sheng was most worried about, in the second half of this season, Huang Dawei grabbed Zhou Wei's main position in the club, Zhou Wei could only play games like the FA Cup, but he didn't expect him to show his excellent form in these two games, which reassured Zhang Sheng in the second leg of the AFC Champions League match with Guangzhou Evergrande.
During the league break, the Dragons also had a match on October 14 - the second leg of the FA Cup semi-finals.
This game is because the players of the National Olympic team just finished the warm-up match with the Egyptian team three days ago and returned to Jiangcheng, which can be said to be tiring and rushing, but considering that there is still a league three days later, the Longteng team still ushered in the game with Shandong Luneng with half of the main force and half of the rotation lineup, including Zhang Hao and Yu Bo, these substitute players all played in the form of starters.
Ben Arfa was also put on the bench after returning from injury, with Chavez taking his place.
Because the Longteng team lost 1-3 to Shandong Luneng in the first leg with a substitute and rotation lineup, if the Longteng team wants to advance in this game, then it must win more than two goals, and try to concede as few goals as possible.
Zhang Sheng's arrangement for this game is to score as many goals as possible in the first half, and in the second half, his team will not be able to defend and counterattack if he is not physically fit.
From the first minute of the start, the Longteng team began to attack with all their might, and Shandong Luneng put on a defensive counterattack posture, with a posture of leading the snake out of the hole.
Thinking of solving the problem in half the game, the Longteng team showed their strong fighting ability, and in just fifteen minutes of the opening game, the Longteng team got as many as six shots on goal, and Shandong Luneng's defense looked precarious.
However, Wang Dalei, who had performed superbly in the national team before, brought his form back to the club, and his left and right blocks made Longteng's many shots in vain.
On the contrary, "Bison" Aloisio used his impact to keep counterattacking, but fortunately, Zhou Wei's performance was not bad, and he saved two high-quality shots from Arlo in a row.
In the 32nd minute of the first half, Pato took advantage of his breakthrough to win a penalty for his team, and then he converted the penalty himself, and the Dragons narrowed the goal gap to just one goal, as if victory was beckoning to the Dragons.
