69. FA Cup final first leg

The national youth team that qualified from the group will face the Iranian national youth team, the top team in Group A. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info this team is also the bitter master of China. But now that they have passed the group stage and eliminated the original Asian Youth Championship champion South Korea, it is not impossible to change history on the road after that.

After putting down the national youth team, Zhang Sheng began to prepare for the FA Cup final.

In the FA Cup final, Zhang Sheng still had a headache. Qin Minghao and Li Yun performed well in the national youth team, and Zhang Sheng was very pleased, but when it came to the Longteng team to play the FA Cup, Zhang Sheng began to regret letting the two of them go. Because the strength of the opponents this time, Guizhou Renren and Moutai is far from being comparable to the several Chinese League A or Chinese Super League teams they have played before.

The Longteng team has come to the FA Cup all the way, in addition to the outstanding strength of the Longteng team itself, it should be said that good luck is also a part. Starting from the very beginning of the Chinese League A team Chongqing Lifan, as the Chongqing team with very poor results at that time, the strength of the players was not strong, and the attention was on the league, plus foreign aid could not be played, and was defeated by the Longteng team.

And then there is the next Henan Jianye, which is also a Chinese Super League team fighting for relegation, the team is also in turmoil, personnel changes frequently, and they do not attach importance to the FA Cup, and they were eventually relegated in history.

Guangzhou Evergrande is because of the three-line battle, although the bench strength is strong, it is still a little light, and a group of reserve team players have greatly reduced the overall strength, so that the Longteng team will kill the game at the end.

The next Dalian Albin and Liaoning Hongyun are both teams struggling for relegation, and it is impossible to ignore the league for the FA Cup when the league is close to the end. Therefore, the mind invested in the FA Cup is definitely not as much as that of the Longteng team, and it is natural for the Longteng team to win.

But Kweichow and Moutai are different, this team is the fourth place in the Chinese Super League this year. There is no doubt about the strength of the team, and now that the Chinese Super League has ended, Guizhou people do not need to be distracted by other games. In terms of players, the current lineup is neat, there are no injuries, although foreign aid cannot be played, but the strength of domestic players in the team is strong enough.

The 2012 season is a season of consistent play in people and history, and the people coached by Gao Hongbo are very united with the team, and many of the playing styles of Gao are also vividly reflected. The three favorite generals of Gao Coach, Qu Bo and Yu Hai, and Yang Hao also played under him, making him very handy in commanding the team.

On November 10, the Longteng team ushered in the challenge of Guizhou people in Jiangcheng.

This game is the last home stadium of the Longteng team this season, and it happens to be a weekend, and many fans have gathered in front of the Wuchang District Stadium since the afternoon, and many people who have not bought tickets are wondering if they can get a refund.

Whenever a person walked over, a group of people gathered around, and everyone asked, "Do you have a ticket?"

But the answer is usually disappointing: "I want to buy a ticket too!" and then the crowd scattered around.

One of the people in the group just now was wearing a scarf of the Longteng team, wearing the No. 9 Qin Minghao team uniform of the Longteng team, and complained loudly: "What's the matter, I came to buy a ticket yesterday and said that there were no tickets, where did the tickets go?"

"Where else can I go? A young fan wearing the No. 3 Li Yun jersey next to him also complained.

Then scalpers not far from these fans came over: "Do you want more tickets, one hundred." I don't have many tickets. ”

"Twenty yuan tickets are sold for one hundred, it's really black-hearted, don't don't. "The fans hated scalpers.

But soon a small couple came over, both of them wearing the uniforms of the Longteng team, bought two tickets directly from the scalpers, and left. It seems that I also asked around, but I didn't buy a ticket, so I could only buy it from a scalper.

The scalper proudly took the ticket and patted it on the palm of his hand, and glanced at the fan next to him: "If you don't buy it, you really don't have it." ”

While the fans outside the stadium were struggling to buy tickets, Zhang Sheng was accompanying his distinguished guest, Ralf Rangnick, the sporting director of RB Leipzig, Germany.

Rangnick takes the place from former Red Bull sporting director Joachim Kruger. Rangnick had a great run of results at Schalke 04 and later created the Hoffenheim miracle at Hoffenheim.

Red Bull also took a fancy to Rangnick's ability to coach young players and brought him in in June this year to become the team's sporting director.

After Rangnick came to the team, he heard about Zhang Sheng, and found that it was obvious that the echelon led by Zhang Sheng was the first level with the most talents from Red Bull. Among them, Martin, a young player handpicked by Zhang Sheng, has now played the main role in the first team and is still growing.

In addition, the company also attaches great importance to the Chinese market, so this time the general manager of the club, Oliver Mintzlaff, received a report from the staff that after hearing that the Longteng team was promoted to the Chinese League, he asked Rangnick to make a special trip to China to discuss the cooperation between the Red Bull team and the Longteng team with Zhang Sheng.

In fact, Rangnick is very disdainful of China's football level, but in his mind that there are so many Chinese, and Zhang Sheng studied and grew up in Germany, it is difficult to say whether he has learned something, so Rangnick still has certain expectations for this trip to China.

Before coming to China, he learned that Longteng would participate in the final of the Chinese Football Association Cup, and he also felt a little incredible, even in Germany, no Bundesliga team has reached the final of the German Cup.

In order to show respect for the guests, Zhang Sheng also specially invited Rangnick to watch the game. Of course, there are more people who let Zhang Sheng accompany him this time, and the Hubei Provincial Football Association also sent people to deal with the famous coach Rannick, Zhang Sheng and Ye Ting's families, and some leaders and local leaders of Jiangcheng and Hubei Province also participated in watching the game.

This is also the original intention of Zhang Zhijun's investment in football. What he wants is the government's attention, and Zhang Sheng lived up to his hopes and gave him this opportunity.

Before the game, Gao Hongbo was interviewed by reporters, in which Gao Hongbo was amazed by the Longteng team: "This is an alternative team in Chinese football, the reason why he is different." The main reason is that their players are generally players with good skills at their feet, and it is difficult to see a team in China that can gather so many players with excellent skills. To be honest, I'm very envious. ”

When the reporter asked about the impact of Qin Minghao and Li Yun on the Longteng team, Gao Hongbo said: "I have noticed the performance of these two players in the national youth team, and I have been paying attention to their performance before the Longteng team. The two of them should be said to be the best players in their position at this age group. Although the absence of the two of them has a certain impact on the Longteng team, the Longteng team has always played overall football, and the head coach of the Longteng team, Coach Zhang Shengzhang, is a coach with a very superb tactical arrangement, I think he will minimize this impact, not to mention that they still have equally good players like Xu Mingyu in their team. ”

When talking about his team, Gao Hongbo is very low-key: "This is the home of the Longteng team, the game should be difficult, we will work hard to play this game." ”

In the home team's dressing room before the game, Zhang Sheng was mobilizing the players before the game: "Today's opponent is the strongest opponent we have ever had. Many of the names in their team are probably familiar to you, such as Sun Xuhai, although he and I are players of the same era, but his talent and ability are among the few in the entire history of Chinese football, even at this age, he has maintained a very good state. Qu Bo, Yang Hao and Yu Hai in their team are all players with the main level of the national team. The other players also have the experience of being selected for the national team. ”

"The other is their head coach Gao Hongbo, he can be regarded as the best local head coach in China, he has his own set of tactics, likes to play short passes, and at the same time pays attention to the speed of counterattacks, and you must be careful of their counterattacks when playing. ”

In the away team's locker room on the other side, Gao Hongbo is also making pre-match preparations: "In this game, we must not underestimate the opponent because the opponent is a second-division team, although the two core players in their team have gone to the national youth team, but the strength of this team is not bad, and now they have successfully rushed to the first division, and they have succeeded in the absence of the two core players." ”

"Pay more attention to the player Xu Mingyu in their midfield in the game, this player has very good skills at his feet, of course, this is the characteristic of all the players in the Longteng team. And he's imaginative when it comes to passing. Be sure to watch out for his one-kick passes. So try to stay close to him and don't let him pass the ball comfortably. ”

"Judging from the previous games, the Dragons have put the premise of their previous position as a high midfielder, and it should be said that this premise has increased the intensity of their midfield defense. Gao Jun is a player with poor physical confrontation ability, but his foot kung fu and passing ability are very strong, when Xu Mingyu was seen to death, the midfielder of the Longteng team was responsible for his ball, so after Xu Mingyu was watched, Yu Hai had to stare at Gao Jun more and not let him pass the ball comfortably. ”

"Now the two central defenders of the Longteng team are relatively tall central defenders, and their skills at the feet are also good, but there is an obvious weakness that they are slow. Qu Bo, you use your speed to attack and harass them, and if you can, you can directly cut inside the penalty area. ”

The broadcast of this match was broadcast live by CCTV Sports Channel. It should be said that this is also the first time that the Longteng team has been broadcast live on CCTV Sports Channel. This also makes it strange for many fans who have come into contact with the Dragons for the first time, and it is indeed a very shocking thing to see a team that has never heard of before playing in the final of the FA Cup on Central Channel 5.

If the Longteng team has a certain popularity with the broadcast of Jiangcheng and Hubei Provincial TV stations in the past, and the live broadcast of Fengyun Football has brought the reputation of the Longteng team to a higher level, then the live broadcast of CCTV Sports Channel has made the Longteng team completely famous among Chinese fans.
