This season's Red Bull Salzburg team has continued to perform well last season, in the Austrian League that has started, they have won many games with a score of 5:0, 6:1 or even 8:0, it seems that it is not affected by the large number of players leaving at the beginning of the season, the coach was poached, and Qin Minghao, who recovered from injury in the pre-match preparation period, performed very well in the game, and his organization and attack in the midfield have attracted the attention of many European teams.
For example, on the phone, Qin Minghao was in a good mood, and he introduced the situation of the team and his own performance to Zhang Sheng with a high expression, but Zhang Sheng thought that the situation was not as easy as he thought.
Zhang Sheng knows that the Austrian championship of Red Bull Salzburg in history is not easy, and in the end it is only 6 points more than the runner-up, which is completely different from last season, which is almost 20 points ahead of the championship.
Zhang Sheng had to remind on the phone: "Don't be too happy, now the players in your team have lost a lot, and several breakthrough points have been reduced a lot, and now your opponents are not familiar with it, once they are familiar with your routines in the middle of the season, the game will not be so easy." β
Qin Minghao, who was interrupted by Zhang Sheng, immediately became serious, and he hurriedly said: "I remember, boss, I will become smarter in the game, and I will come up with more ways to help the team." β
Obviously, he also heard Zhang Sheng's words that he was afraid that he would be greedy for comfort and not want to make progress, and he was smart enough to decisively accept Zhang Sheng's opinion.
Zhang Sheng also nodded and said: "It's good that you know, how to find a way forward in the midst of difficulties is a process that a player must go through, I know that you are very smart, you are the kind of player who uses your brain to play football, work hard, maybe I will send you a teammate in the middle of the season." β
"Oh, really, who is it? Is Ding Huaiyi coming over?" Qin Minghao said excitedly, "That's great, with him to help me, I promise to make the team stronger." β
Zhang Sheng also advised: "If Ding Huaiyi passes, you have to help him integrate into the team quickly." β
"That's for sure, boss, don't worry, as long as he comes, I will take good care of him. Qin Minghao said.
After ending the call with Qin Minghao, Li Yun's call soon came, on the phone, Li Yun seemed more confident than Qin Minghao, this is also his true character, he first greeted Zhang Sheng, Shi Niang and Zhang Sheng's children, and then reported his performance in Leipzig Red Bull.
Because the Bundesliga started late, the RB Leipzig team has just played four rounds, and the performance is not bad, with two wins and two draws, and it is four games without conceding a goal, which is of course related to Li Yun's excellent performance in the backline.
But Zhang Sheng knew that Leipzig had started high and gone low this season, and they had been stumbling in the subsequent games with a large amount of money at the beginning of the season, especially in the offensive end, and finally only won the 5th place in the Bundesliga, failing to rush to the first division.
However, Zhang Sheng knew that this had nothing to do with Li Yun, so on the phone, Zhang Sheng just encouraged Li Yun to continue to work hard, strive to continue to stand firm in the team, and be ready to fight a long-term war.
Of course, Zhang Sheng is more at ease with Li Yun, because he knows that Li Yun is a player who seems to be arrogant, but very assertive, and has very strong willpower.
After Li Yun humbly accepted Zhang Sheng's opinion, he ended the call.
The last person to call was Xu Mingyu, who has been the main force of the team this season, and is very valued by the team's head coach, and the team has always cultivated him as the core of the future, after all, Xu Mingyu is only 19 years old now.
Xu Mingyu is still very confident in himself, he still insists on playing in Sporting Lisbon B team, and then looks for opportunities to join the first team of Sporting Lisbon.
Of course, Zhang Sheng will not attack Xu Mingyu's self-confidence, but fully respects his choice, and let him work hard to pursue his ideals.
During this vacation, Zhang Sheng not only accompanied his family, took the remaining players to train, and paid attention to the national team, but also paid attention to the games of the national junior team, after all, there are many players of the Longteng team in the national junior team.
This session of the Asian Youth Football Championship of the national youth team is the domestic U15 echelon, because of the abandonment of youth training over the years, the history of the national youth team can be described as miserable, according to the head coach of the national youth team Zhang Haitao in the interview to reveal the information that you can know, in history Zhang Haitao searched all over the country for the age of players, only 42 players for him to choose from, a total population of more than one billion, hundreds of millions of people in the country, there are only 42 players to choose from, it can be seen that the youth training of Chinese football has been embarrassed to what extentγ
Huang Jianxiang, a well-known football commentator, once lamented on Weibo after the loss of the national junior team in history: "It is not surprising that the U16 national junior team lost to Australia by a big score. There are 42 children in the country who can play football in the 98-year-old group, which is less than the number of giant pandas in the Wolong Reserve in 2011 (165). Children who play football are already a rare species, don't blame the children and coaches. β
In real history, the Asian Junior Championship held in Bangkok, Thailand also ended in a disastrous defeat for the national junior team, first losing 0:3 to Australia, then 0:3 to Japan, although they finally defeated Hong Kong, China 2:0, the ending was still dismal - early exit.
Compared with the Chinese national junior team in history in 1992 and 2004 respectively, the historical national junior team can be called a fish belly.
But now the situation is different, because of the participation of the Longteng team players, the strength of this national junior team has been improved a lot, in addition to Nie Jiang, Huang Dawei, Xiang Tiange, Liming, Zeng Fanfang, Shen Jun and Cao Jinghao, these system summon players, there are also non-system call-up players trained by the Longteng team represented by Wang Xing.
Therefore, Zhang Sheng is very concerned about this Asian Junior Championship, and this time the Longteng team sent non-systematic players to participate in international regular competitions for the first time, which can best reflect the youth training achievements of the Longteng team itself.
The national youth team with the players of the Longteng team as the backbone did not disappoint Zhang Sheng, in the first game against Australia, Nie Jiang played very well, although the game was pouring rain, so that the Chinese team who are accustomed to ground cooperation played very uncomfortable, but Nie Jiang still used his keen sense of smell in front of the goal to open the score.
The Chinese team, which led by one goal, played very hard in the heavy rain, and the Australian players were tall and big, and they used their physical advantages to insist on playing high-altitude balls, which made the Chinese team play very hard.
However, this year's national junior team from the goalkeeper to three of the four defenders and two midfielders are all system-called players, their technical ability is very outstanding, coupled with Huang Dawei's performance is very steady, Australia's offensive is ferocious, but did not score.
In the 13th minute of the second half, because the ball was too slippery, Huang Dawei pounced on the ball and was successfully shot by the Australian player, and the score was equalized.
Just three minutes later, Australia scored another goal from a corner with their own header, leaving China behind.
Fortunately, Nie Jiang gave full play to the advantage of his super talent, and rewrote the score to 2:2 with a beautiful long-range shot before the end of the game, and finally the national junior team struggled to get a point in unfavorable weather conditions.
In the match against Japan on September 8, the weather was still pouring rain, but now it has become the national junior team to use physical confrontation and height advantage to bully the Japanese team.
Soon after the opening, left midfielder Cao Jinghao used his fast break to insert into the penalty area to win a penalty, and Nie Jiang scored it in one fell swoop.
Next, although the Japanese team kept threatening the door of the Chinese team with long-range shots, they were firmly saved by Huang Dawei, but the Chinese team took advantage of its height to score a header from Wang Xing in the corner kick, expanding the score to 2:0.
After the second half, the rain weakened a lot, and the Japanese team finally attacked, they used the skillful overall foot cooperation to play very well, the 57th minute of the Japanese team crossed, the only defender who was not a Longteng team player Guo Tianyu slipped and fell to the ground, was successfully picked up by the Japanese striker, and the Japanese pair pulled back a goal.
However, soon the national junior team took advantage of the long-term cooperation between the players of the Longteng team, a series of beautiful midfield passes, and finally Nie Jiang scored a goal to expand the score to 3:1.
In the end, the Chinese team also got a difficult three points.
In the final round of matches, China beat Hong Kong, China 5-0, in which Nie Jiang scored a hat-trick, and Australia took advantage of the rain battle to defeat Japan 2-0, so that the Chinese team won the group by virtue of goal difference, Australia second, and Japan was eliminated.
The opponent of the Chinese team in the quarterfinals was Malaysia, because the weather was clear, the Chinese team's technical advantages at their feet were brought into full play, and they completely mastered the situation on the field, and finally eliminated the opponent 2:0 with the goals of Zeng Fanxing and Nie Jiang.
In these four games, Nie Jiang has scored eight goals, and he has become the most dazzling obvious in this Asian Junior Championship, and the limelight has even surpassed Li Shengyou, who is known as the "Korean Messi".
China's semi-final opponent is the champion of the Asian Junior Championship in history, North Korea, which also relied on this championship to win the Asian Junior Championship twice in four years, but in the face of the Chinese team, they are obviously not so easy to pass.
Because since 2008, the top four in the Asian Junior Championship will qualify for the U17 World Cup, so the Asian Junior Championship has also canceled the three or four finals, so although the Chinese team has qualified for the 2015 Chile U17 World Cup, but once it fails, the Asian Junior Championship will be over, how can the arrogant Longteng team players admit defeat.
After the opening, the two sides played very anxiously, the North Korean players came up with a desperate posture to play with the Chinese team, and the Chinese fans who were lucky enough to watch the game joked: "If you don't work hard, you can't do it, or you will have to dig coal when you go back." β
But the football game is not desperate to win, the Chinese team used their foot technology to firmly control the situation on the field, in the 34th minute of the first half, Nie Jiang in the penalty area line continuous horizontal dribbling passing, in the flash of the gap after the decisive kick shot, the ball flew quickly and quickly into the net, the Chinese team led 1:0.
But after all, not all players of the Chinese team are called players of the Longteng team, those players of the non-Longteng team are too dragged their feet, and they frequently make mistakes under the crazy pressure of North Korea, giving the North Korean team a chance, and before the end of the first half, the Chinese team's Naxi youngster's back - Hexin defense is out of position, and the goal of the North Korean team Han Guangsong equalized the score.
In the second half, the North Korean team played even more crazy, and in the 65th minute, Choi Ho-hyuk of the North Korean team grabbed Zhang Huachen's pass mistake in the front of the Chinese team and played a quick counterattack to play the next city, and the Chinese team fell behind.
The backward Chinese team's continuous substitutions, the Longteng team's non-summoned players on the field, these young players who have been playing with the call-up players for a long time have shown more adaptability to the tactical system, so that the Chinese team's low-level mistakes have been reduced a lot, Nie Jiang finally has the support behind him, after he opened the North Korean team's defense, he sent a second pass to Zeng Fanfang, Zeng Fanhua shook the North Korean team's central defender in front of the penalty area and hit the goal successfully, and the two sides returned to the same running line.
With the passage of time, the physical fitness of both sides declined, and finally ended the game 2:2, in the penalty shootout, the Chinese team performed even better, free throwers made 4 of 5 free throws, Huang Dawei saved the opponent's two penalty kicks, and defeated the opponent with a total score of 6-5 to enter the final.
In the final, the opponent of the Chinese team was the South Korean team, and the star of the Korean team, Lee Seung-woo, expressed his confidence that he would win the championship.
Of course, he also has reasons for self-confidence.
Lee Seung-woo is known as the first talented boy in South Korean history, born on January 6, 1998, he is known as the "Korean Messi", and his goal rate in the Barcelona U15 team is even higher than Messi. Lee Seung-woo also studied in Real Madrid and Bayern Juniors, dropped out of junior high school in the first year and switched to La Masia, and currently plays for Barcelona's youth A team. Barcelona was banned from two FIFA transfer windows, including the signing of Lee Seung-woo.
Before the game, Li Shengyou said in an interview: "The championship is an honor we must get, because we are a champion team, although the opponent Chinese team is very strong, but we must win in the end." β
Hearing Li Shengyou's words, Nie Jiang pursed his lips and said, "Toad yawns!"
