182. Holidays

In this rare holiday, Zhang Sheng let go of all his burdens and played with his wife and children for a few days. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, this leisurely life was soon broken, because this time period is also the most serious time for transfer troubles, and the Longteng team has always been the main player output place in Chinese clubs, and it is really too much to think about not getting involved.

Zhang Sheng has actually been prepared for this for a long time, unlike Zhang Sheng's transfer strategy at the end of last season, Zhang Sheng is not ready to export players on a large scale this season, because the reality has given Zhang Sheng a big blow.

In fact, after the final of the FA Cup, Zhang Sheng already had some thoughts.

Compared with the ambition when he was just promoted to the Chinese Super League, Zhang Sheng found that he really underestimated the Chinese Super League.

Because of the system in hand, coupled with the support of a large amount of money at home, and worry-free, Zhang Sheng always thought that the championship of the Chinese Super League was a matter of hand, even if he did not win the Chinese Super League championship, a FA Cup championship should be no problem.

But the reality now is that after the season, the Longteng team is empty-handed, and if it weren't for the qualification for the AFC Champions League, Zhang Sheng would even wonder if he had encountered a fake system, or simply a fake rebirth.

At the beginning of the season, he not only promised his father Zhang Zhijun that he would win the AFC Champions League within three years, but also made the same promise to the system girl, as for the Chinese Super League champion, Zhang Sheng didn't take it seriously at all, in his opinion, the Chinese Super League championship is definitely in the bag, but now that I think about it, it was still tooyoung, toosimple, sometimesnaive.

Zhang Sheng also summed up a few mistakes for himself.

The first is their own tactical immaturity.

This season, Zhang Sheng still wants to use a way similar to Tiki-Taka to dominate the game, but unfortunately the sky is not as good as expected, the intensity of the Chinese Super League is far from being comparable to the Chinese League, and his team can use the advantages of technology in the Chinese League to play casually, but in the Chinese Super League, the technical advantages under the fierce confrontation did not come into play, but he almost planted a big heel.

The continuous winless game at the beginning of the league was the result of Zhang Sheng's overly light opponent.

After that, Zhang Sheng could only adjust his tactics, or chose the ordinary all-offensive and all-defensive tactics, using the powerful players in the team to do local small cooperation, and could not give full play to the essence of Tiki-Taka's full-court fast passing express, but now the team is playing a low-profile version of Tiki-Taka.

And this low-profile version is not even a beggar version, it can only be the same as the "youth version" of a well-known mobile phone manufacturer, that is, everything is simple, and it is so simple that it can't be simplified, because if it's simple, that's the difference between Google and Sister Gu.

When he was still a fan, Zhang Sheng thought that there was nothing difficult about Tiki-Taka, as long as the players' skills were okay at their feet, they could be successful in practice, and when they added something to it, maybe it was worse than Tiki-Taka, and when it came to reality, they found that it was not the case at all.

What style of players should be placed in each position, how the players should run and respond to each other, and how to adjust when encountering different opponents, these are all things that are too detailed, and without a long period of precipitation, it is completely impossible to achieve the ideal Tiki-Taka tactic.

In the past, Zhang Sheng didn't like what others said was "youcan, youup", he always felt that Iup, I could can, and now he found that he was up, and even how to do it was black, as for whether it could be done, it completely depended on God to give face.

Now Zhang Sheng has set this goal very low, and if he can make a tactic that looks like Tiki-Taka, Zhang Sheng is already very satisfied.

Therefore, Zhang Sheng has planned to start from this winter training period, more in-depth implementation of some details of fast transmission express cooperation, through various means to refine this tactic, not to mention the refinement of tactics like rugby to more than 20,000 kinds, but in the local tactical refinement, there must be at least dozens of ways to deal with various situations.

So although Zhang Sheng is still on vacation, he has begun to collect various tactical details of Tiki-Taka, and has begun to check a lot of game footage and flip through various materials related to it.

When winter training begins, it's time for the players to familiarize themselves with these tactical details.

Secondly, Zhang Sheng still reflected on his loopholes in player allocation.

This season, Zhang Sheng's biggest trick is to only look at the ability index, let go of the previous goalkeeper Xu Di, so that the team does not have a qualified substitute at all, and when he encounters Zhou Wei's ban and injury, it is already too late to regret it.

The AFC Champions League against Evergrande, if Zhou Wei is still, it is likely to be another consequence, if Zhou Wei is still in the FA Cup final, how will the championship fall into the hands of others?

The departures of N'Golo Kante and Riyad Mahrez in the middle of the league also dealt a big blow to the team.

Although the departure of Kante and Mahrez is unstoppable with their own will, and at the same time they also have the idea of opening the channel for players to go to the Premier League, it is an indisputable fact that the team's competitiveness in the Chinese Super League has dropped significantly.

At that time, if Zhang Sheng showed a tough attitude, it would have been impossible for Kante and Mahrez, who were still under contract, to leave without Zhang Sheng's consent.

So except for a few special players in special positions, Zhang Sheng will not let go of one more this season.

Finally, another problem that plagued the club was the tight flow of funds from the parent company.

Longteng Club is backed by Longteng Group, how can there be eggs under the so-called nest, what is the current situation of Longteng Group, and has an unparalleled influence on Longteng Club.

China from 2013, from the central government to the local government, whether it is from the heart or not, the super strict purchase restrictions are all over the place, and Longteng Group is precisely at this time to start its own expansion journey, although the group has taken a different path to the road of sports real estate, compared to those who directly take the money to smash the real estate developers have more advantages, but after all, it is still affected by the environment, and the self-built professional football stadium is a lot of money for the group, so that the group's capital chain is very tight.

On the whole, the real estate industry has fallen from the golden age to the silver age, and in terms of trends, real estate mergers and acquisitions have become the mainstream.

It is not difficult to find from the country's real estate statistics that some small and medium-sized real estate enterprises and less specialized real estate enterprises have been swallowed up this year. In other words, although the life of developers has not been good this year, and even some large real estate companies have to resell assets to cash out and optimize asset allocation in order to develop, small and medium-sized real estate enterprises are facing the pressure of survival.

As Longteng Group, which has just begun to seek transformation and segmented development, it is in the position of a medium-sized real estate company, and the pressure is huge in the face of the wolves eyeing outside.

Zhang Sheng can see the current situation of the group from his father Zhang Zhijun and brother Zhang Chen.

In the past, Zhang Zhijun and Zhang Chen often called to ask if the club's development needed financial and personnel support, but in the second half of the league, they never mentioned this topic again.

This also means that next season's Longteng team may not be able to get more financial support from the group's parent company, and maybe everything will have to be self-reliant.

When Zhang Sheng reflected on his mistakes last season and considered the current situation of the club, the outside world changed a lot.

The most eye-catching thing is Guangzhou Evergrande, which reached the AFC Champions League final again this season and achieved four consecutive championships in the Chinese Super League.

On the night of the end of the Chinese Super League, Evergrande sent a bombshell out.

At the press conference after Evergrande won the championship, the head coach suddenly announced that he would step down, and next season, Evergrande's head coach is the former Italian international Cannavaro that no one could imagine. This seemingly elusive arrangement can't help but make people sweat for the new Chinese Super League quadruple champion: whether Lippi will listen to politics or boldly let go next season, the end of the 2014 Chinese Super League is already predicting to everyone: the 2015 Chinese Super League will be more intense and suspenseful.

This season, because of the appearance of the Longteng team, Guangzhou Evergrande's championship is extremely difficult, although they have gone further than history in the AFC Champions League, but they almost overturned in the basic plate of the Chinese Super League, no one expected.

At the beginning of the season, no one thought that Guangzhou Evergrande, helmed by the veteran driver Lippi, would win the championship by one point, if it were not for the Longteng team gritting their teeth and persevering at the home stadium of Beijing Guoan, then Evergrande's four consecutive championships would be impossible to achieve.

Now Lippi's resignation declaration does not know whether it is because the club's efforts and results do not match well, or because of the huge mistake in the recruitment this season, in short, Chinese fans will no longer see this wise old man sitting in the coach's seat of the Chinese Super League.

There are a lot of rumors about this change of manager's position.

Some media believe that Lippi stepped down because he fell out with the senior management of Evergrande Club, and some said that Lippi wanted to retire because he missed his family.

As a traverser, Zhang Sheng paid attention to some details revealed by the Evergrande Club and Lippi himself, and he roughly understood the reasons.

The trigger for Lippi's resignation should have been a mistake in recruitment, in fact, Diamanti's introduction has not caused much dissatisfaction with the club, after all, he was an active Italian international at the time, and his ability is also obvious to all, and his failure to excel in the middle is more due to run-in and style problems. However, the addition of Gilardino completely deviated from Evergrande's previous principle of recruitment, and the position also overlapped with Elkeson, rather than the player the team needed most.

Before Lippi coached Evergrande, Liu Yongzhuo was responsible for the negotiation of the introduction of foreign aid, and the head coach only needed to confirm the players. After Lippi joined, he took over all the rights to recruit, and he handed over this "fat difference" to his son's player agency, and then earned agent fees in the middle, which did make the outside world have a lot of doubts and accusations about Lippi's approach. Because it's obvious nepotism. In the process of Diamanti and Gilardino's recruitment, the transfer fee price was a little unsatisfactory for the club. Liu Yongzhuo once said that Diamanti's transfer fee should be much cheaper.

Of course, Evergrande, which has Ma Yun's investment, is not short of money, and the role is what the club and Xu Jiayin value the most. However, the two Italian foreign players have brought little effect to the team, especially Gilardino has even been complained by fans that he is not as good as a domestic striker, and the introduction of these two is not equipped with the previous Xu Jiayin's regulations on not introducing players over 28 years old.

In the middle of the season, Liu Yongzhuo publicly made remarks to the media in front of Lippi: "Foreign aid must be upgraded, and the right to recruit is all back to the club, and in order to avoid suspicion, I will no longer cooperate with the team of Lippi Jr.'s agent." ”

Such a public slap in the face really embarrassed Lippi.

Another reason why Lippi wants to step down is that the 67-year-old really wants to rest and return to Italy to enjoy family fun, and does not want to continue to travel with the team for many years.

Because of China's huge land area - 9.7 million kilometers, it takes a lot of time and energy to play the away team of the Chinese Super League every time, and the domestic flight delay rate is so high that it has reached the point of "machine trouble", which makes Evergrande's away games even more sad.

At the same time, the away game of the AFC Champions League is more of a headache, as the largest continent in the world - Asia, every time the AFC Champions League is played, Evergrande needs 15 or 16 hours before and after traveling to Australia and West Asia, and even the flight time to Japan, South Korea, Thailand and other countries is as long as 5 hours.

It's too hard for a 67-year-old man.

It's human nature to be homesick. From looking up at the bright moon, bowing your head to think of your hometown, to coming from your hometown, you should know about your hometown. This is true not only of Chinese, but also of Lippi, a foreigner.

As long as the team has been off for more than a week, he will choose to go directly to the airport to return to Italy on the evening after the game, so much so that he will be fined for missing the post-match press conference. With his wife, children and grandchildren all in Italy, it's natural for a 67-year-old to want to spend more time with his family.

3 Chinese Super League titles, 1 FA Cup championship, and an AFC Champions League championship, this is Lippi's report card in Evergrande, he has made Evergrande complete the Grand Slam in Asia, and there is really no motivation to lead the team.

Evergrande's high annual salary is well known, Lippi's salary is 9 million euros after tax, plus Evergrande's high bonuses in the past few years, Lippi can get about 10 million euros a year in Guangzhou. The fact that Lippi is willing to spend part of his salary to convince the club to invite Cannavaro is enough to show that Lippi no longer values money.

Not for money, lack of motivation, extreme homesickness, Lippi resignation is as simple as that.
