11. Adapt to tactics
The victory of the game made the outside world admire, but in Zhang Sheng's opinion, there were many things.
The team is playing well in the AFC Champions League, but what about the next Chinese Super League?
After playing the AFC Champions League on March 2, the team can fly back to China on March 3 the next day, after a long-distance flight, plus jet lag, the team's physical fitness and state must be a trough, and on March 6, the Longteng team will fly to Chongqing to participate in the first round of the Chinese Super League.
Such a continuous flight not only tests the team's logistical arrangements, but also places extremely high demands on the players and coaching staff.
After the end of last season, the oldest coach in the Longteng team, the club's deputy leader Lao Xing officially retired, and now there is only one leader left in the team, Yu Jie, who lost a lot of work to the latter, and he is now very busy.
When Lao Xing hadn't left before, Yu Jie actually still had some complaints, as a "regular army" from the football circle of Hubei Province and Jiangcheng, he didn't think too highly of Lao Xing's "Tubalu" who came out of the amateur team.
The position of deputy team leader is generally held by the club in order to reward those who have retired from the position of professional players and have been the captain or vice captain of the team for a long time before, and Lao Xing has no experience at all, so Yu Jie has always thought that Lao Xing was Zhang Sheng as a good man and asked him to stay and make a living, but now that Lao Xing has completely retired, Yu Jie knows that Lao Xing has silently helped him do many things.
Including communicating ideas with the players and giving feedback to the head coach on some opinions of the players, Lao Xing, as a kind grandfather, he did a very good job.
When Yu Jie started to do it, he realized that these things were really difficult to do, and at this time he missed Lao Xing very much.
Yu Jie has already thought about it this time, at the club's regular meeting, he has to propose that the team set up the position of deputy team leader again, otherwise it will be all up to him, which is really a bit too busy.
And the recommended candidate Yu Jie has already thought about, that is, the main striker when the team was still an amateur team before, and Chen Hao, a player who retired from the team.
After Chen Hao retired, he was arranged to take the coaching certificate, but because he had many injuries, he rarely took young players directly, and more participated in logistics work.
With Chen Hao playing for the team for three years when he was in the amateur team, and after the Longteng team bought the club, he worked in the club for more than five years, and his qualifications are absolutely enough.
When Yu Jie was still worried about his business, there was good news from the Longteng Club.
Soon after the club was listed, the Longteng Club carried out the first private placement after the Spring Festival this year, and when the Longteng team came back from Australia on the day, the Longteng Club completed the first transaction at a price of 60 yuan per share and traded 35,000 shares, which can be said to have blinded countless people's kryptonite eyes.
Because if calculated at this price, the market value of the Dragon Club has reached 19 billion yuan, which is converted into US dollars and more than 2.5 billion US dollars, which exceeds Manchester United's market value of 2.35 billion US dollars, ranking third in the ranking of football clubs in the world, before the Dragon Teng team, only 3.26 billion Real Madrid and 3.16 billion Barcelona.
Of course, this price is inflated, because in the past year, the highest earner was Manchester United with $700 million, the highest profit was also Manchester United with $190 million, and the second most profitable was Real Madrid with a net income of $162 million.
All the income of the Longteng team last year, even if it is added to the income from the transfer of players, is only less than 800 million yuan, which is one-seventh of Manchester United, and even if the profit is nearly 500 million because of the club's low operating costs, it is only one-third of Manchester United.
This season, the Longteng team has greatly increased the salaries of most of the players, and the cost of operation is even higher, but the outside world's expectations for the Longteng team are even higher, and the price of 60 yuan / share is showing everyone's confidence in the Longteng club.
With the completion of the first transaction, the few shares of the Longteng team in the market have been coaxed by everyone, and it is said that there are already institutions ready to buy large sums, and there is even news that a fund company that has been entrusted by others is ready to buy shares from the buyers of the private placement once the private placement company reaches the trading period, that is, it wants to be a shareholder.
The actual situation is that during this time, many institutions and individuals have contacted the Longteng Club, hoping to become a shareholder of the Longteng Club, and this news has been hyped, and many sports industry companies and Internet bigwigs have become the object of rumors.
In fact, this is a very funny thing in China, among the several bigwigs who invested in the Chinese Super League in history, Wang Jianlin didn't say it, it was a veteran-level figure, but like Alibaba boss Ma Yun and Suning boss Zhang Jindong, the two bigwigs who invested in football, were not fans at all, and Ma Yun even bluntly said that he didn't understand football at all.
On the contrary, there are several other heroes on the wealth list, but they are very senior football fans.
Although Zhang Chaoyang, the founder of Sohu, regarded himself as a "fake fan," he did not fall behind in every World Cup, and even often commented on the game; Ding Sanshi, the founder of NetEase, acted like a veteran fan, and took advantage of the opportunity of NetEase Sports to interview the star Kaka and even got a No. 163 jersey exclusive to him; Cao Guowei of Sina not only watched the game, but also took the lead in organizing the game; Fu Sheng, a veteran Internet investor, is a veteran Brazilian fan and often exclaims about the Brazilian team in the media.
Needless to say, Lenovo's Liu Chuanzhi, as a Messi fan, Yang Chen fan, when he was working in Hong Kong, because he couldn't see the TV broadcast of the A League, he actually took a car to Shenzhen to watch the broadcast, he once had the idea of creating a football club by himself; Later, Baidu set up a football team, often with Sina, Sohu and other peer teams; known as China's No. 1 product manager, the founder of WeChat, Zhang Xiaolong, he is not only a fan, he was also a good player in college, he also studied in Huake University, often played football with friends in the stadium near the south gate of Huake, and it is said that the ball skills are extremely exquisite.
Tencent CEO Ma Huateng is also gushing about the national football team as a senior fan, in addition to being a senior fan, he is also a member of the All-China Sports Federation.
Therefore, this is very strange, these domestic heroes, really fans do not vote for the Super League, but those who are not fans have always invested in the Super League.
In fact, in the final analysis, as business people, they understand football, but they have a deeper understanding of investing in domestic football clubs.
This time, the Internet bigwigs want to invest in Longteng Club, to put it bluntly, not because they are fans, but because they feel that in the domestic sports field, Longteng Club is a profitable business and an IP that has attracted great attention.
Zhang Sheng, as the actual owner of the club, knows which companies are contacting the Longteng Club, which has 200 million yuan more than the history and monopolized the broadcast rights of the Chinese Super League for two years with 3 billion yuan, and LeTV, which has plummeted in the future, and there are also giants like Tencent Sports, and even Ali investment companies that want to break the rules of domestic football - a company cannot own two clubs at the same time.
It's just that the club is still considering these investments, of course, these things, Zhang Sheng is left to his father and the club's senior management to deal with, let them evaluate the pros and cons of accepting investment, Zhang Sheng himself flew to Chongqing with the team, preparing for the first game of the 2016 season of the Chinese Super League.
Originally, as many as four teams applied for the opening ceremony of the Chinese Super League this season, and there were three types of them: those with particularly good results, such as Guangzhou Evergrande, those who received strong support in the local area and wanted to take advantage of the situation to create a lively atmosphere, such as Chongqing Lifan, and those with new faces and not bad money, such as Jiangsu Suning and Hebei Huaxia Happiness.
In the end, Suning Club, which had just taken over Jiangsu Shuntian, intended to use the opening ceremony to show the image of the new club and seize the right to host the opening ceremony of the 2016 Chinese Super League. Chongqing only grabbed the 2016 Chinese Football Association Super Cup before it was held on February 7.
This also means that the Longteng team, which was supposed to play at the opening ceremony, was scheduled to play an ordinary game.
Compared with last year's "thrifty and thrifty", this season's opening ceremony of the Chinese Super League is only for good results, no matter how much money, and Suning, as the organizer, also strives to make this opening ceremony the most expensive opening ceremony ever.
In order to achieve the strongest publicity effect, Jiangsu Suning Brand Department is responsible for the design and operation of the opening ceremony. According to rumors, the investment in the entire opening ceremony may be 50 million to 100 million yuan, or even more.
Jiangsu Suning's idea is very simple, to use the fastest speed in the shortest possible time to make the Suning team the focus of national attention, become unique in the Super League, and create the greatest social effect.
However, the opening ceremony, which was claimed to cost more than 100 million yuan, was held, and only the "most expensive in history" money became the highlight, and other things, including the referee Fan Qi's penalty, were sprayed by the majority of fans, and finally this opening ceremony was summarized by the fans into one sentence: 5, 60s people made Yangge-type opening ceremony.
However, from the game after the opening ceremony, everyone understands a truth - it is not that there is no money, Teixeira's crushing performance in the face of domestic players proves that the 50 million euros are really not spent in vain, after the first two games of running-in, the wonderful performance of the AFC Champions League a few days ago and the brace of this game are undoubtedly reflected.
Compared with Jiangsu Suning's 3:0 victory over the old powerhouse Shandong Luneng at the opening ceremony, the Longteng team played an extremely difficult game.
Although because of the appearance of the Longteng team, the "little motorcycle" Fernando was not bought by Chongqing Lifan, but they bought another speed-type Brazilian striker at a low price to give the Longteng team a great threat.
The Longteng team did suppress Chongqing Lifan in the half, and it was impossible to play an effective positional attack, but Chongqing Lifan's counterattack was still very sharp, and the Longteng team still made a lot of mistakes in the midfield to fill the wingbacks.
In the thirteenth minute of the first half, the Longteng team broke the deadlock by Ben Alpha and turned the score into 0:1, but soon, the opponent's Brazilian foreign aid took advantage of the Longteng's interception in the midfield five minutes later, and made a long-distance run to turn the score into 1:1.
Zhang Sheng was very annoyed by this goal, he had witnessed Guangzhou Evergrande lose 2:1 to Chongqing Lifan on TV, is he going to take this old road now?
Seeing Zhang Sheng's unhappy face, the players on the field also knew that they should concentrate their attention, and in the next game, the Longteng team maintained the siege of Chongqing Lifan, although it failed to expand the score, but did not give the opponent too good a chance to counterattack.
After the second half, Chongqing Lifan, who had not had the ball for a long time, finally made a mistake, and Chavez received a header from Nie Jiang in the penalty area to make the score 1:2, and the Longteng team took the lead again.
With the passage of time, the physical consumption of players on both sides is getting bigger and bigger, especially the players of the Longteng team, who are fighting continuously and playing two games a week, are indeed very tired, although they have an advantage on the field, they are a little unable to run.
Before the game, Zhang Sheng could not change the entire starting lineup, and now he can only check and fill in the gaps, after replacing Ben Alpha, De Paul, Nie Jiang, Xiong Jian, Roque Gill, and Zhang Hao, the game has come to an end.
In the end, the game also ended with a 1:2 victory.
After a week's rest, the recovered Longteng played at a very high level in their first home game of the 2016 Chinese Super League.
After the last game, the outside world unanimously questioned why the Longteng team insisted on playing 3-5-2, believing that the team should not force the mad dog tactics of full-court pressing, and should adjust according to its own situation.
Zhang Sheng did not pay attention to the doubts of the outside world, the implementation of tactics can not be seen without the tempering of actual combat, since Zhang Sheng chose to play this tactic, then how to play the best tactics in different situations is a problem that must be considered.
As a strong team, multi-front combat is inevitable, and the Longteng team will definitely encounter double games a week, or even three games a week after this season, so the last game can be seen as a preview of this situation in the future.
The sooner the better, and luckily the Longteng team still got a victory.
And in this game, the full-court pressure of the Longteng team is terrible, Changchun Yatai was originally a weak man to put a bus to get lucky to hold the backfield, and put two fast players in the front court to steal one, this is the Chongqing Lifan of the last game.
However, the pressure of the Longteng team made them not hold the backfield, and in the first half of only 35 minutes, the Longteng team had already relied on Ben Alpha's brace, and Nie Jiang's shot made the score 3:0.
In the second half, the continuous pressure of the Longteng team completely collapsed Changchun Yatai, Ben Arfa completed a hat-trick, and Chavez and substitute De Paul also scored their first goal in the Chinese Super League.
In the end, the Dragons' home debut of the season ended 6-0.
