39. The losses are not small

Although Zhang Sheng's face after the game was a smile after promotion, his eyes revealed melancholy.

In this draw, the Longteng team was really a little injured.

Zhang Hao's injury should not be serious, and Chavez is difficult to say.

Sure enough, after the examination, Zhang Hao can make a complete comeback in a week or two at most, and the results of Chavez's examination are very heart-wrenching - the medial ankle ligament of the left foot is ruptured, at least two months of repair, a month of adjustment, a little unsatisfactory progress, it may be four or five months before he can play.

Although the Longteng team played 3-5-2 this season, Nie Jiang is more of a shadow striker as a striker, so the fulcrum role of the center forward in front is too important, and among the two centers of the Longteng team, Chavez's ability is far stronger than Zou Weijia.

Judging from the performance in the last game, Zou Weijia substituted Chavez and did not press the opponent's defense enough, so if the team wants to attack, it must raise the formation more up, so there will be more space for the opponent to counterattack.

Maybe Zou Weijia is okay at the level of the Chinese Super League, but when he reaches the AFC Champions League, he will inevitably be a little lacking.

The match with the Dragons was also concluded with the match between Jeonbuk Hyundai and Shanghai SIPG.

Jeonbuk Hyundai, who drew away to Shanghai SIPG, showed their strength to the fullest after returning to their home stadium, and they swept Shanghai SIPG 4-0 at their home stadium, which was a terrifying performance.

You must know that Shanghai SIPG has the help of top Asian stars such as Conca, Elkeson, and Ji'an, who are both famous and powerful.

Even Zhang Sheng is not sure that he can absolutely defeat Shanghai SIPG, in order to face the next Chinese Super League against Shanghai SIPG, Zhang Sheng has a good understanding of this team.

Now Jang Seung has to think carefully about how to play against Jeonbuk Hyundai in the absence of Chavez.

In the AFC Champions League match that ended a day ago, Guangzhou Evergrande won 3-0 away in the first leg, and a large number of substitutes were deployed in the second leg, and finally drew 1-1 at home with Sydney FC and easily advanced to the semi-finals.

After Jiangsu Suning won 1:0 away in the first leg, he returned to the home court because Xiao Yunfan was injured, and the side attack fee as an important means of attack was lost, and he was won 1:0 by Shuiyuan Samsung, and finally Shuiyuan Samsung eliminated Jiangsu Suning by penalty kicks.

Such four Chinese Super League teams that advanced from the group stage, now only Longteng and Guangzhou Evergrande are left, and their opponents in the next round are two South Korean teams, and the AFC Champions League in East Asia has once again become a confrontation between China and South Korea, which is also very in line with the overall strength of the current East Asian league.

However, in China, everyone still generally believes that Jiang is still old and spicy - two AFC Champions League regulars, teams with championship experience, Longteng and Guangzhou Evergrande are more competitive in the AFC Champions League.

The competition between the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League is in the ascendant, and the European leagues have basically ended, except for the Champions League final to be held this weekend, the champions of the five major leagues have been produced, and the promotion teams of the secondary leagues have also settled.

Ding Huaiyi's Red Bull Salzburg team easily won the title this season, and he also scored 13 goals by himself, and tied with Vienna's Rapid Cayode for third in the scorer list and won the bronze boot.

Li Yun and Qin Minghao's RB Leipzig scored six points more than the previous one, beating Freiburg to win the 2015-2016 Bundesliga championship, which is much better than the runners-up in history.

Xu Mingyu's Portuguese team was successfully relegated, and he also became the core player of the team.

As for the few foreign players who went out of the Dragons, it was a surprise for the whole of European football.

Pato has contributed a lot to Chelsea, who are in dire need of strikers, and the boy who used to be a surging boy is now playing more rationally, and his ability to play for his teammates has improved by leaps and bounds while maintaining his shooting skills.

Over the course of half a Premier League season, Pato has scored six goals and provided four assists, which he did on a couple of occasions as a substitute.

As early as the end of the Premier League season, Chelsea began to discuss a formal transfer to Pato with the Dragons.

However, one thing that is very bad for Pato is that Hiddink, who has let Pato go, has already been decided to be sacked - only ninth in the league - one more than in history, and the manager for the new season has been confirmed as early as the winter break - Italian Antonio Conte has announced the class.

With a new manager, it's really hard to say what Pato's position will be in the new season, because Antonio Conte is a manager with a lot of character.

Even so, Pato has no worries about his future in Europe, as long as he continues to play like this, any team in the big five leagues will have a place for him.

Even more surprising are the two foreign signings who have moved out of the Dragons - N'Golo Kante and Riyad Mahrez.

Leicester City, with these two players at the core, staged a miracle of a dark horse counterattack that has rarely been seen in European football for decades.

N'Golo Kante's ability to sweep and intercept in the midfield midfield position and pass the ball with one foot has made him the hub of the team's midfield transition.

Although it seems that this player is not tall and not the kind of player who is extremely fierce, his card position is accurate, he grabs in time, he puts a tackle when he should put a tackle, and he fouls when he fouls, which greatly makes up for his physical shortcomings.

As soon as the season ended, countless teams began to poach.

Although the owner of Leicester City has said countless times that N'Golo Kante is the core of the team and is not for sale, such a level of midfielding is obviously not something that a small ball like Leicester City can keep.

In today's football, there are very few midfielders who have both offense and defense in the midfield, not to mention that Carter is just 25 years old, with his age, as long as he maintains this state and is not subject to any major injuries, he can at least dedicate the most golden four or five years to the club, which is a player that all clubs dream of.

It is said that a Premier League giant has offered £40 million to compete for the rising player.

Kante's impressive performances at club level have also put N'Golo Kante on the radar of the French national team, whose head coach Didier Deschamps has confirmed that he will take him to Euro 15 on French soil this summer.

This will be the first international player produced by the Dragons to participate in the European Championship.

Another player who has made a splash at Leicester this season is Riyad Mahrez.

His hurricane-like rush, left and right bows, overhead kick shooting ability, the characteristics of being able to play free kicks on the left, center and right sides of the frontcourt, and finally a good level of assists, he has become the team's well-deserved attacking core in one fell swoop.

Over the course of the season, he contributed 18 goals and 13 assists, which is more than the 17 goals and 11 assists in history, and he was the only player in the Premier League to post a double-double of goals and assists that season. In addition, Mahrez averaged 3.5 dribbles per game, the second-highest of all players in the Premier League.

The most important thing is that Zhang Sheng changed the belonging of Mahrez's national team.

Historically, Riyad Mahrez was selected by the Algerian national team in 2014 for his performance at Leicester City, and the temptation of the 2014 World Cup led him to choose the Algerian national team.

And because he transferred to China in reality, the Algerian national team also gave up the investigation of him as a matter of course - an African powerhouse who would come to China to pay attention to an unknown player.

Now it's different, in this crazy season at Leicester, he has been selected by the French team with both Algerian and French nationality.

Of the two national team options, any sensible player would choose the French national team, and Riyad Mahrez is no exception.

Didier Deschamps will not miss a single French duo against Leicester City, and it is said that Riyad Mahrez is already on the list of the French team that submitted for the European Championship on May 31.

At the same time, because he can participate in the national national team to play the European Cup, Mahrez's value has also skyrocketed, as Mahrez's French "hometown" professor Wenger has named the club to introduce Mahrez in the summer, and opened the legendary 70 million.

Think about how wonderful it would be if Riyad Mahrez could join Arsenal and form a trident up front with 272 and 374.

A club that can produce two top stars and bring a former top star back to life has also attracted the attention of countless European clubs and fans.

If Pato is because of the well-known Super League money can do whatever he wants, and as a result, he won the lottery, then buying Kante and Mahrez is really amazing.

The consequence now is that Ben Alpha, another former talent who still plays for the Dragons, has also received a lot of attention.

After carefully checking Ben Alfa's current game and the previous game video, everyone was surprised to find that Ben Alfa, who used to only shoot suddenly, actually learned to pass the ball, and the effect was not bad.

This time it was the turn of the Nice team, who had been paying attention to Ben Alpha for a long time, and had basically negotiated terms with Ben Alpha, panicked.

Ben Alpha is not the kind of "loyal person" who talks about what kind of feelings, what to talk about first, first come, first come, his past deeds tell everyone - don't talk to me about feelings, I just want money, just fame.

After completing this season's Ligue 1 season, the Nice team sent someone to negotiate the price with Ben Allgau, and it was far higher than the price expected before, and promised him the position of the core player of the team, which can be regarded as stabilizing this master.

In addition to the foreign players in the Longteng team, those clubs in Europe have also set their sights on several high-level Chinese players in the Longteng team.

Nie Jiang and Qi Ming's highlight performances have naturally attracted attention.

European clubs that have entered the league off-season are looking for foreign aid all over the world, and Chinese players are cheap and have great commercial value, and any club that is interested in football will not let go.

It's just that the Longteng Club rejected all inquiries and transfer attempts about Nie Jiang and Qi Ming.

European clubs can't buy Longteng players, but Chinese Super League clubs won't give up easily.

After the start of this season, the Longteng team had a regular in the national team, and the absolute main player of the previous season lost his place in the club, that is, the captain of the team, Zhou Zhou.

Because of Zhang Sheng's tactical changes, he is determined to play all offense and defense, pay attention to the player's offensive and defensive performance, and has no talent in offense, although Zhou Zhou, who has all the ability to defend, is the captain, but gradually lost the position of the main force.

Zhou Zhou himself is very self-aware, he knows that there is no place in the team, and he is very decisive in making a transfer request.

Zhang Sheng happily agreed to Zhou Zhou's transfer request.

Hearing that Zhou Zhou was going to transfer, the entire Chinese Super League club with strength (banknotes) was moved.

Zhou Zhou can't play in the Longteng team, it's not that Zhou Zhou can't stand up in the fullback, it's that he doesn't meet the tactical requirements of the Longteng team, and his level is definitely above the level in the Chinese Super League.

With three weeks to go before the summer window of the Chinese Super League, now is the time for all the clubs who want to strengthen and make a difference this season to buy people.

The teams that have made offers to the Longteng team alone include Guangzhou Evergrande, which wants to strengthen the depth of the squad, Jiangsu Suning, which tasted the sweetness of Xiao Yunfan, and the local luxury Xia Xingfu who is waiting to buy a good defender to put the bus when he has money, and it is said that he has abandoned LeTV, which has been shaking and refusing to give money, and has contacted a mysterious real estate developer who is not bad for money, and even Shanghai SIPG, which rarely buys players from other Chinese Super League teams.

Judging by the quotes, there is nothing less than eighty million.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In fact, the transfer is not something that Zhang Sheng has to pay attention to now, whether it is the transfer of Ben Alpha or the departure of Zhou Zhou, it has long been determined or expected.

Now Zhang Sheng needs to think about how to deal with the reality that Chavez is injured and unable to play, and the team's physical fitness is a mess.

In the last AFC Champions League, in addition to injuring two players, physical fitness was the team's biggest headache for Zhang Sheng.

Originally, Zhang Sheng was counting on a big sword game against Seoul FC, but Seoul FC's desperate style of play like encountering a father and enemy made Zhang Sheng have to let the players go all out.

As a result, after two consecutive away games, the players of the Longteng team who flew back to Jiangcheng generally had physical problems.

Of course, if it is more miserable, Shanghai SIPG is even worse.

In the last AFC Champions League, Shanghai SIPG was pressed to the ground by Jeonbuk Hyundai.

SIPG had only a pitiful four-shot shot on goal and only one shot on target.

And Jeonbuk Hyundai had 20 shots on goal, in addition to scoring four goals, there were also two posts, and the possession rate of the whole game was less than 30% on SIPG's side.

I thought that Shanghai SIPG, which was forced to draw 0:0 at home, and stealing chickens and scoring one away away would make all the difference, was obviously unprepared.

Shanghai SIPG, which has always cultivated its own players and used its own players for purpose, can be said to have learned from the pain of seeking defensive players from the Longteng team this time.

One is full of injuries and injuries, and the loss is not small, and the other is the return of a fiasco, morale is low, and there are too many variables in the focus of this round of the Super League before the break.
