In order to boost morale, Zhang Sheng said after arriving in Kawasaki City: "This competition is our first official competition abroad, I still have the old rule here, as long as there is a player who scores a goal, I will have local specialties to give, if everyone performs well, I will have a mysterious reward after the game." ”

Hearing Zhang Sheng's words, the players in the team laughed, and this rule set in the China Second League has always been implemented by Zhang Sheng. Every time he plays a game in a foreign country, Zhang Sheng will reward the players who score goals and those who perform particularly well with local specialties. Liu Xing and Li Yun, who were most enthusiastic about this reward, have now left the team one after another, and now the team is most enthusiastic about this thing is Yu Bo.

He said loudly: "Coach, I have checked all the specialties here before I came." ”

Zhang Sheng said: "Okay, as long as you score in this game, I will give you a specialty, say, what do you want?"

Yu Bo said with an incredulous expression: "I like Shonan Gold here the most. ”

Zhang Sheng's eyes widened suddenly: "Ahhhh

The players all giggled, and Zhou Zhou and Xiao Yunfan, who had the best relationship with Yu Bo, both laughed: "Who has the darkest heart and the biggest heart in our team." Brother Bo, that's you. ”

Zhang Sheng also smiled: "It's okay, as long as you score, I will give you a golden chain of Kawasaki legend for you." ”

Yu Bo's face was like a pig brother and asked, "Wow, the coach is bleeding heavily, what kind of legend?"

Zhang Sheng sneered: "Don't you like to study the specialties of various places the most, you don't know the most famous legend of Kawasaki? ”

Hearing Zhang Sheng's legend, the players all laughed, and Xiao Yunfan said: "Brother Bo, this is good, this is good, after the boss sends you Doraemon, I will ask you for whatever I want in the future." ”

Xiao Yunfan's joke made everyone laugh, and everyone also teased Yu Bo: "Apo, you have Doraemon, you will be the team's treasure chest in the future, everyone can find you for anything." ”

Seeing this harmonious atmosphere in the team, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but nodded, Ivo's injury made the sluggish atmosphere in the team can now be said to have really been swept away.

On the day before the game, the managers of both sides attended the pre-match press conference as usual to speak to reporters.

Kawasaki Frontale coach Hachihiro Kazama said when asked by reporters how he views his opponent: "I know that Jiangcheng Longteng is a dark horse in China, but we have found their weaknesses and we are very confident in this match. ”

Yoshito Okubo, who followed Hachihiro Kazama to the press conference, said more directly: "I'm definitely going to score in this game, and I'm going to give my goal to my wife because it's her birthday on the day of the game." ”

At the same time, the reporter also asked about the Chinese team's explosive purchase, what do you think of a player like Pato, who is at the level of tens of millions of euros, Hachihiro Kazama said: "Football is not a one-man sport, and a single player cannot determine the outcome of a game. The implication of his words is that the overall level of Kawasaki Frontale's players is a notch higher than that of the Dragons.

Zhang Sheng, who was also interviewed, was very low-key: "It is the first time for us to participate in such a game as the AFC Champions League, and the opponent is an old AFC Champions League powerhouse like Kawasaki Frontale, and this game is their home stadium, if we can get a point, we will be very happy." ”

As the team's most famous star, Pato was very clever in the interview to praise Japanese football, and received praise from former superstars like Pato, and the Japanese reporter left with a smile on his face. After returning to the hotel, Zhang Sheng gave Pato a thumbs up, and the way he replied in a circle was very clever, and the other party did not get any news about the match from Pato's mouth at all.

When it came to the official game, Zhang Sheng said to the players in the locker room: "Everyone knows the character of the Japanese, before you beat them and conquer them, they are very arrogant, only when you teach them a lesson with your strength, they will be convinced, this game I hope everyone shows their own strength, let them know that our Longteng team is not easy to mess with." ”

The players at the bottom all agreed.

Zhang Sheng continued: "In this game, we still continue our tactics, and possession is our foundation. In the face of a team like Kawasaki Frontale, as long as our possession exceeds theirs, they will completely collapse, this game Ma Yongli you have to strengthen the marking of Yoshito Okubo, this player is a typical Japanese striker, with skills, speed but no body, I think you should have no problem dealing with such players. McGovern, you have to be careful that they are likely to bring in a striker Yasuhito Morishima, this player is a player with height, body and impact, but his technique is really rough at the feet, as long as you guard his head, he is not a threat. ”

Both Ma Yongli and McGovern nodded.

Zhang Sheng turned to Kante and said: "The core of their attack is Kengo Nakamura, most of the last passes of Kawasaki Frontale are completed by him, and he is also the pivot of this team's offensive and defensive transitions. Once Kenyo Nakamura is targeted, their threat to this game is half gone. ”

Kante also said with a serious expression: "I know. ”

Next, Zhang Sheng said to Zhang Hao: "Your mission is very clear, keep an eye on their Renato, this player is a typical Brazilian player, there is life under his feet." But he's not quite what it takes to break through a line of defense, and I'm sure it's okay to freeze him with your defensive prowess. ”

Soon the game began, because the date of today's game was not a weekend, and there were not many fans from the Wait-Li Land Arena that could accommodate 25,000 spectators, and this stadium was not a professional football stadium, and the spectator seats were a little far away from the stadium, so the cheers of the fans seemed very deserted. Zhang Sheng also shook his head silently in his heart when he saw this environment, the attendance rate of the J League has continued to decline in recent years, and Japan is now trying to improve the attendance rate.

With a long whistle from the referee, the first AFC Champions League match of the Longteng team began.

The big loss of Kawasaki Frontale in this game was the injury of Junichi Inamoto, a player who wanted to participate in the last World Cup of his life, had to watch from the sidelines, and he could only watch his team play with players like Kenyoshi Nakamura, Yu Kobayashi, and Yoshito Okubo who were fighting for their place in the national team.

Kawasaki Frontale, who got the kick-off right after the opening, tried to take control of the game with ground passes, but their ideas quickly fell through. The players of the Longteng team are not like the Chinese teams that Kawasaki Frontale has encountered before, and the high pressing and full-court pressing of several players in the front court are very well done. In particular, Kante did a good job of clamping Nakamura Kengang, and it was difficult for Nakamura Kengang to pass a good pass in his own backfield under Kante's pressure, and it was more about passing the ball to the players on the wing, so that the wide players could go to Renato or Yu Kobayashi in the frontcourt.

Kawasaki Frontale's tactics are based on the combination of the side and the center, making full use of the width of the field, and the attack in the middle cannot be played, so they can only rely on the breakthrough of the side to seek opportunities, but with the physical quality of the Japanese team players, it is really difficult for the strong man to force the Chinese players from the side.

Hachihiro Kazama, who was standing on the sidelines, frowned a little nervously, as a head coach who didn't have much coaching experience, once he was pinned down by the opponent on the field, he didn't have much experience to face. After thinking about it for a long time, he began to ask Renato and Yuya Kobayashi, who were close to the middle, to help out on the wing, hoping that the team would rely on skilled group play to open an attacking channel on the wing.

It's a pity that such a wish has also been disappointed, the defense of the Longteng team has never been a one-person thing, the cooperation between the players has always been the main reason for the lack of goals conceded by the Longteng team, the back of the Longteng team Zhang Hao in this game focused on the sweeping work of the backfield under Zhang Sheng's advice, this strong body, the frontal defense of the super player made the two midfielders of Kawasaki Frontale miserable, and a lot of physical contact made Renato or Kobayashi Yu extremely stressful.

And the players of the Longteng team have an advantage that is much better than the domestic players, that is, the defensive actions are very standardized, and there will rarely be some foul actions. Historically, Guizhou Ren, who was replaced by the Longteng team this season, was constantly fouled by the referee in this game. Guizhou, who is famous for playing football in the Chinese Super League, not only lost the game in this game, but also received 3 yellow cards. It can be described as losing and losing.

Once the Japanese team has to start fighting with the Chinese team, this time actually means that the Japanese team is starting to fall behind. Now the form on the field is officially like this, several Japanese frontcourt players can only rely on their individual ability to break through because they can't cooperate, but when it comes to individual ability, Japanese players are not too dominant.

When Kawasaki Frontale's offense couldn't be played, the Dragons' offense began to exert its might. (To be continued.) )
