180. End of season
The end of the FA Cup also means that all the games of the 2014 season are over. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It has been a successful season and a losing season for the Dragons.
It is said that the success is because the Longteng team has successfully gained a firm foothold in the Chinese Super League, from the consecutive winless at the beginning of the season to the subsequent leaps and bounds, and got the bottom-line goal set at the beginning of the season - the qualification for the AFC Champions League.
It is said that the failure is because the Longteng team has won nothing this season, the AFC Champions League was eliminated in the quarterfinals, the league only won the third place, and the FA Cup only won the runner-up, compared to the Longteng team that has always had a champion in previous seasons, there is really nothing to boast about.
In Zhang Sheng's view, the most successful thing that the Longteng team did in the 2014 season was to lay a good foundation for the club - the formation of youth training and coaching staff.
This season, Zhang Sheng did not call a large number of players, but aimed the target of the call-on at a more basic part - coach, 16 high-level coaches summoned from the system, plus several coaches who went out to Germany for training before, can make the Longteng Club have little worries in the future development, even if the system suddenly disappears one day, Zhang Sheng can also deal with it without fear, because the foundation of the club has been solid.
After all, summoning players solves temporary difficulties, and summoning coaches solves long-term difficulties, which is the difference between a golden egg and a hen that lays golden eggs.
As long as Zhang Sheng keeps the team of these high-level coaches still, under their leadership, he can inherit batch after batch of good coaches and incubate batch after batch of good players.
At the end of the season, Zhang Sheng made adjustments to the club's coaching team, and the previously called coach Zhang Yi has been discharged from the hospital, he took over the management of the club's U13 echelon, and took the initiative to bring two young sports academy graduates.
Having Zhang Yi lead the U13 echelon made Zhang Sheng feel a lot more relieved, because he was the kind of coach with good experience and ability, which greatly liberated the task of the club's U13 echelon coach.
At the same time, Zhang Sheng also assigned other tasks to the summoned coaches - training.
Before the Longteng team had its own training system, but the trainers were some professional trainers from outside through various relationships, including the Chinese Football Association and the Hubei Provincial Football Association's external relations department from those developed football countries invited by various experts, including FIFA, AFC trainers, etc., such training is based on assault training, learning is to learn a lot of things, but more is a hammer deal, a lot of knowledge is learned and forgotten.
Zhang Sheng also knows that these trainings are very misinterpreted in China - many places are through this kind of training, just get a certificate of completion to prove that you have this qualification, just like many state-owned enterprises evaluate job titles, just for a brand, so that the salary can be raised.
Zhang Sheng believes that the internal training system is the real foundation, compared with the previous training system, internal training is to go deep into the grassroots, guide poverty alleviation, the previous training is like the poverty alleviation office to get the poverty alleviation money to sprinkle down, this is the difference between teaching people to fish and teaching people to fish.
Of course, in terms of players, even if Zhang Sheng did not summon players this season, the gains of the Longteng team are very large, because the existing players have also improved a lot in terms of ability index.
After the season, Zhang Sheng carefully checked the ability index of the players and found that many of their players have made a qualitative leap.
First of all, the players in the first team, the growth rate is very fast.
In the position of goalkeeper, even if Zhou Wei is in the injury period, the ability index has been suppressed, he still rose from 68 to 73 during the mid-season break, especially after being selected for the national team squad this time, his confidence and ability index has soared, although he did not enter the last 23 players because of injury, but it can be seen that he still has gained a lot.
As a trick of Zhang Sheng this season, Song Jianhua, as the "old man" left behind when Longteng Club acquired Optics Valley Football School, was very criticized by outsiders. The potential value is too low, and the foundation is not solid, and he brought a lot of trouble to the door of the Longteng team when Zhou Wei was banned and injured.
But even so, the FA Cup, the Chinese Super League and even the AFC Champions League still made him grow a lot, and he also went from 55 to 58, which has reached the upper limit of his potential. Of course, in the next season, Huang Dawei can sign up for the Chinese Super League, he should not have too many opportunities to play, and the third goalkeeper should be his positioning.
In the defender position, several players, including foreign players, have also increased exponentially, such as McGovern from 82 to 84, relative to his potential value of 85, it can be said that he has reached the peak of his career.
In terms of domestic players, Ma Yongli is from 78 to 81, this ability index is already proud of the domestic central defenders, compared to his 20-year-old is still more than 2 months old, at least at this stage, he can be said to be a young genius; the main left-back Zhou Zhou from 72 to 74, is definitely the strongest group in China; as for the main right-back Shu Jun because of the upper limit of the potential value of the upper limit of the upper limit of the ability value is only 71 ability value, even so, it is much higher than the 68 during the break.
In the bench position of the defender, because of the third-line operation this season, the substitute players of the Longteng team have a lot of opportunities to play, which is very helpful to their growth.
For example, as the two players who have played the most times in rotation, Lu Zhihui and Xiao Yunfan, have grown very rapidly.
Lu Zhihui as Zhang Sheng adjusted the defensive strategy, and even changed the offensive tactics of an important chess piece, often arranged for the back hand and the odd soldier on the field, after the game honed his ability index rose from 75 to 77, relative to his 78 potential value, next season will be 28 years old, he has entered a golden age of central defender, and is about to enter the peak of his career.
Xiao Yunfan, as a player who can play left and right backs, has become a panacea role for the fullbacks of the Longteng team this season, once the players on the fullbacks have injuries or lack of physical fitness, he will be put on the field, and even selected for the national team's squad in the later stage, and he has also gone from 69 to 72.
In addition, the two backline substitutes have a little less time to play, but Zhang Sheng will never be stingy with their playing time when many personnel are really not enough, or after a big score lead, and they have been selected for the national youth team to participate in many international competitions and have grown a lot.
Wei Zhimin, who was substituted as a left wing-back, rose from 66 to 70, and Du Zhenyu, who was substituted as a central defender, rose from 66 to 69, both proving that they have a great future.
In terms of midfield, it has always been the most praised place by the outside world, as the foundation of the survival of the Longteng team, Zhang Sheng pays the most attention and gives the most guidance, and most of the tactics are also formed here, so the growth of the players is also huge.
In terms of midfield defense, several main midfielders, midfielder players and players who have been successfully transformed by Zhang Sheng have grown in terms of ability index and even potential ceiling.
In terms of foreign aid, Kante, who occupied the main position in the first half of the season, has a 90 ability value, and has grown more rapidly after transferring to the Premier League during the break, and has approached the 100 ability index mark, coming to 99;
In terms of domestic players, Lin Feng has been successfully transformed from a right midfielder to a B2B type of back, both the ability value and the potential value have been greatly improved, the potential value has risen from 75 to 83, and the ability value has also increased from 73 to 77, this is still because he is now in the recovery period of a serious injury, once he recovers from the injury, the ability value to break through 80 is just around the corner.
Another one that Zhang Sheng is looking forward to is Tao Wentao, after the end of the season, Zhang Sheng also received the news that the task of system training Tao Wentao ended, while harvesting an intermediate potential pill, he also got 3 high-level player growth accelerator charms, and his own experience in this skill has also reached 2/ 3, as long as there is another successful player position transformation, you can upgrade to level 2, as a benefit of successful transformation, Tao Wentao's potential value has increased from 85 to 90, and the ability index has risen even more, from 68 to 75, Zhang Sheng is looking forward to his performance after the successful transformation.
As for the substitute position of the back midfield, Zhang Hao, as a purely defensive midfielder, has a ability value from 67 to 71, and he has lived up to Zhang Sheng's many times to send him to participate in the AFC Champions League, the FA Cup final and other key games of training, of course, he gave Zhang Sheng a lot of returns, and the golden away goal in the AFC Champions League is the report card.
In the two wing positions in the midfield, for the sake of the team's results, Zhang Sheng chose more foreign aids, so the ability of several foreign aides increased the most.
In the first half of the season, the absolute main force on the side of the team was Mahrez, his ability value of 87 is absolutely the top in the country, and after arriving in the Premier League, although he is playing more in the reserve team, the ability value has risen very much, and now it is 96.
In the next season, the arrival of Ben Alpha once made the outside world have a lot of doubts, and he did have a period of very sluggish performance, at that time insisted on letting him change his style of play, insisting that he play Zhang Sheng was under great pressure, Ben Alpha himself even began to doubt his ability, but after surviving that tormented period, Ben Alpha still has a great improvement, from his ability value of 89 when he first entered the team to the current ability value of 99, it can be seen that he has slowly come out of the downturn, and next season he will be Zhang Sheng's sharp knife on the side.
The most gratifying thing for Zhang Sheng is not Ben Alpha, because the growth of domestic wing players in the team is even more overjoyed, especially Ding Huaiyi.
As one of Zhang Sheng's most regrettable call-up players, Ding Huaiyi has always made Zhang Sheng very fond of him with his extraordinary talent and imagination There is no problem at all, so Zhang Sheng basically gave him all the potential pills that can be used, but from the information prompted by the system, it seems that he can only have a potential value of 100 at most, even if Ding Huaiyi's potential is successfully exchanged, this value is only the main player of the middle and lower reaches of the Bundesliga.
However, Ding Huaiyi's growth rate still gave Zhang Sheng a lot of surprises.
At the beginning of this season, Ding Huaiyi's weakest confrontation and physical fitness have always been his hard injuries, but after the break, he quickly improved greatly, especially at the end of the league, Ding Huaiyi basically played the whole game, and it was a continuous battle, from his performance, it seems that he has fully adapted to the intensity and physical requirements of the Super League at this level, which can be reflected in his ability value - soared from 74 to 80.
Originally, Zhang Sheng still wanted to send him abroad in the middle of the league next year, but now it seems that it is unlikely that he will want to improve greatly in China, and it is time for him to go abroad to develop.
Also make Zhang Sheng more satisfied with Yu Bo, although he is now more on the court as a rotation player, he has never complained, limited by the ball quotient is a little low, Yu Bo is difficult to have an amazing performance on the field, but as long as he is on the field, the left side of the Longteng team rarely suffers, after all, his physical fitness is first-class, and his ability value has also risen from 73 to 75.
Several other substitute players have also gained a lot in terms of ability, such as Xiong Jian, who can play as a right midfielder and midfielder, has risen from 67 to 71, such as Yan Xiaoyu and Ni Kai, who have only completed the qualification for the Chinese Super League in the middle of the league, were transferred to the first team when the team was most short of manpower, and they also made Zhang Sheng very satisfied, Yan Xiaoyu went from 58 to 65, and Ni Kai also went from 57 to 63.
Here I have to mention Yao Tian and Zhu Xuhe, who were loaned to Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard Club at the beginning of the season, as two young players who could not play in Zhang Sheng's eyes, they developed very well under the reuse of Coach Li Jun, Yao Tian's ability value from 66 to 71, and Zhu Xuhe's ability value from 69 to 72.
This year's Tianshan Snow Leopard as a team that almost can't even pay salaries, at the end of the season, ranked 5th, and only 7 points less than the successful league second Shijiazhuang Yongchang, which shows the contribution of the two of them to the team, which is still the result of the two of them being drawn to play by the National Olympic team many times, which greatly affected the team's results.
Now the most tricky thing for Zhang Sheng is the problem of the forward line, because from the existing configuration, it is really a bit too weak.
