27. The wolf is coming
After the game, Zhang Sheng, as the coach of the away team and a young junior, took the initiative to shake hands with Tang Yaodong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info When the two shook hands and talked, Tang Yaodong congratulated the victory of the Longteng team very angrily, and he said directly: "I didn't expect that less than a year, when we met again, the strength of the Longteng team was already so strong, if it wasn't as I expected, you should have firmly occupied a seat this year." ”
Hearing Tang Yaodong say this, Zhang Sheng hurriedly said modestly: "Director Tang looks down on us. Most of our players are young and they still have a long way to go. However, I also hope to borrow Tang's good words to guide you, and hope that we can surpass success. In fact, in my opinion, with the strength of the current team and players of the Jianye team, you must also occupy another seat to surpass. ”
When Tang Yaodong heard Zhang Sheng's words, he smiled with a rare smile on his face throughout the game: "I also borrowed your good words from Coach Zhang, haha." ”
At the press conference after the game, Tang Yaodong repeated what he said to Zhang Sheng, once again emphasizing the strength of the Longteng team. And said that Henan Jianye's player strength is ashamed of itself in the face of the Longteng team.
His words caused an uproar among the reporters below, and the head coach of the relegation horse, who has always maintained the configuration of Chinese Super League players and foreign aid, actually admitted that the strength of the team is not as good as the promotion horse that has been investing the least in the league, which makes everyone feel a little incredible. Some reporters even think that Tang Yaodong is covering up the problem for his loss.
However, as long as the fans who have watched this game will not think so, after all, it is a real thing for the players of the Longteng team to beat the players of the Jianye team on the field.
When Zhang Sheng was interviewed after the game, when the reporter asked about the goal of the Longteng team this season, Zhang Sheng also said his intention in a very high-profile manner: "This year, the Longteng team has only one goal, that is, to win the championship of the Chinese League. ”
As a result, the reporter who interviewed him didn't react for a while, and asked, "Isn't the goal to overtake?" After saying this, he wanted to slap himself. Everyone else said that they were going to win the championship, and they asked others if they wanted to surpass. In fact, this is also everyone's habitual thinking, when all the Chinese teams talk about their ultimate goal, they mention surpassing, but few people say that they are competing for the championship.
The reporter's words also made everyone who reacted below laugh. It was also a small episode of the post-match press conference.
After the end of this competition, the Longteng team can be said to be everyone's side-eye. Everyone compares Harbin Yi Teng, who was also promoted last season, with the Longteng team. Because last season's Harbin Yi Teng had the strongest attack ability in the entire Chinese League, and won the fourth place in the Chinese League last year as a promoted horse in the league.
However, everyone agreed that the investment of the Longteng team was not enough for them to rush to the Chinese Super League this season. Because in recent years, there is only one team that has been able to achieve success as a promoted horse, and that is Dalian Albin.
Dalian Albin won the championship of the Chinese Second League in 2010 and was promoted to the Chinese Super League, and then won the Chinese League championship in 2011 and was promoted to the Chinese Super League, which can be described as a blockbuster.
However, compared with the Longteng team, Dalian Albin's investment is on par with the grade of the Chinese Super League giants, and the team's investment is more than ten times that of the Longteng team, which can be said to be completely smashed with money.
Therefore, although everyone is very impressed by the Longteng team's victory over Henan Jianye, everyone disagrees with Zhang Sheng's slogan of winning the championship of the Chinese League.
Of course, the Longteng team did not pay much attention to these disturbances from the outside world, because the Longteng team was about to usher in their second away game, which was also the second round of the league.
After playing the game of Henan Jianye, Zhang Sheng led the team back to Jiangcheng. Along with the team, there were also players from the reserve team, who participated in the reserve league of the Chinese League and defeated the opponent with a score of 5:0 on the field. According to the usual practice, Zhang Sheng gave the players of the Longteng team a day off.
After a day of rest and two days of recovery training, on March 21, Zhang Sheng took the team to Yiyang, Hunan, and this time the opponent of the Longteng team was the Hunan Xiangtao team.
Hunan Xiangtao is an old oilman in the middle class. At the time of the founding of the Chinese League, Hunan Xiangtao was one of them, relegated to the second division three years later, and spent another three years rushing to the middle league, and has been mixed in the Chinese league since then. Until Zhang Sheng's crossing, Hunan Xiangtao was still in the middle league, but it was basically reserved for the relegation quota of the year. Overall, this is a team with history but no quality.
At the same time, "selling in the first half of the year to earn points, and selling yourself to make money in the second half of the year" is a true portrayal of such a team. The achievements of Hunan Xiangtao are also developing according to this trend every year. In the first half of the year, the players work very hard and the results of the team are very good. In the second half of the year, the losing streak became the theme of the team. The same was true last season, when in the first half of the season, the Xiangtao team was once in second place in the league. In the second half of the year, an 8-game losing streak turned into a situation where promotion could not be achieved and relegation was worry-free.
Such a team also has a very distinctive feature, that is, the age of the players is generally older, last season Hunan Xiangtao's main players, the youngest is 27-year-old Dong Fangzhuo, and the other main players are 30 years old or even over 30 years old. For them, if the team really rushes to the Chinese Super League, the only thing waiting for them is to be purged, so rumors of losing the team's results have been very popular in the Xiangtao team.
This season, the team fired head coach Zhang Xu and brought in Serbian Drazen Baisek as head coach. Bysek is very familiar with Chinese football. As early as 2010, Baisek accepted Blazevic's invitation to serve as an assistant coach of Shanghai Shenhua, and then continued to assist Lao Bu in the national Olympic team. In the second half of 2011, Bysek returned to Shanghai Shenhua as head coach. After a brief return to Croatia, Bysek became the coach of Hunan Xiangtao at the end of 2012.
In terms of players, Xiangtao fired 6 old domestic players in one go, and all foreign aid left the team, so it can be said that the Xiangtao team has undergone great changes this season. Now the only person who is a little famous in the team is the former "King Dong" Dong Fangzhuo. In fact, last season, he was booed by the fans several times, and his contract has expired, and he has always wanted to leave the team, but later he stayed after the team's efforts to keep him.
However, Bysek is very confident in the strength of the team, and asked him in an interview with reporters before the season: "With your understanding of the Chinese League, what kind of level does the Xiangtao team stand in the league?"
Bysek replied decisively: "First. ”
In the first round of the league, Hunan Xiangtao was forced to draw 1:1 at home by Tianjin Songjiang, but from the field, the team's offense and defense are more disciplined than last season, and the ability to create scoring opportunities in the game has also been enhanced, but the forward's ability to grasp the opportunity is enough, resulting in a draw.
In the pre-match interview with the Longteng team, Baisek was very confident: "Although the Longteng team defeated Henan Jianye in the last round and broke an upset, I believe we can win at home. "From the words of Baisek, you can see the pride of being a foreign coach who thinks he is a high-level coach.
But when it came time to play, it was a different story.
Because Xiangtao's foreign aid David Lan was suspended due to a red card, the Xiangtao team's backline in this game was an all-Chinese class. The Longteng team sacrificed the tactics of pressing in the front court, and the Xiangtao team, which was the home team to kick off first, suddenly made a mess on the back line. Xiangtao goalkeeper Wang Haoyi, who has only become the main force this season, almost leaked the ball into his own door when receiving a return pass from teammate Wang Yuyang.
In the 15th minute of the first half, the Dragons took the lead. In fact, this is also a matter of time, from the opening Xiangtao team kicked off soon after the ball was broken, the football has not passed the half of the Xiangtao team. This time, the Longteng team used the cooperation of Qin Minghao and Lin Feng, and finally after Qin Minghao passed to Mahrez, Mahrez shot and scored.
Baisek was furious about the goal from the sidelines, but the disparity in the quality of the team left him with no choice.
In the 23rd minute, the Longteng team doubled the score again, this time from the left side. After Liu Xing successfully cut inside, the inverted triangle passed to Mahrez, and under the tight defense of the opponent, Mahrez did not attack greedily, but passed the ball to Qin Minghao in return, and Qin Minghao in front of the penalty area shot decisively, and the score became 2:0.
In the 27th minute of the first half, Dong Fangzhuo wanted to use the speed to pass Gao Jun, but unfortunately the ball was too big, and Gao Jun broke the ball very lightly. Dong Fangzhuo, who was cut off from the ball, got up and made a fierce back tackle, and Gao Jun was shoveled to the ground.
Seeing that their teammates were violated, the players of the Longteng team came to theorize. The referee also hurried over to control the situation, considering that this is the home stadium of the Xiangtao team, the referee only showed Dong Fangzhuo a yellow card. But judging from Gao Jun's expression, it was obvious that he couldn't stick to the game anymore, and Zhang Sheng had to replace Gao Jun with Sun Yu.
After a preliminary examination of Gao Jun's injury, the team doctor suggested that it was best to go to the hospital for further examination, and Zhang Sheng also had a gloomy face, resentful of the low level of the referee in the middle league.
Gaojun's injury did not diminish the offensive momentum of the Dragons. On the contrary, it makes the players fight harder.
In the 34th minute, after a series of cooperation in front of the Xiangtao team's penalty area, Deng Chaoqun was in an offside position in the penalty area and scored the third goal.
Seeing the third goal, the fans of the entire Yiyang Olympic Sports Center fell silent. It was only more than 30 minutes in the first half that it was already 0:3 behind, and this goal for the fans was also very big.
Even Lin Fei, the commentator of the Golden Eagle Documentary Channel, who was in charge of commenting the Xiangtao team's game, was completely speechless: "The Longteng team has a 3:0 lead, and it can only be said that the difference in strength between the two teams is too big." But through this game, I just want to say to all the Chinese league teams: the wolf is coming, everyone be careful. (To be continued.) )
