At the same time, the results of several other Chinese Super League teams have also settled, Guangzhou Evergrande and Beijing Guoan have successfully qualified from their respective groups with the first place in the group, and the only one who has not qualified is the famous "AFC Champions League tragedy team" Shandong Luneng.
In the face of the best AFC Champions League group results of the Chinese Super League team in history, there was a lot of praise on the Internet.
In the first three rounds, except for Luneng's other three Chinese Super League teams, they were all unbeaten. Everyone is still afraid that the flag is too high, like last year, a series of defeats led to only two teams in the end, and they did not dare to tout it on the Internet and in the media, and now the three teams are the first in the group to qualify for the grand occasion so that everyone agrees that the Chinese Super League is a well-deserved Asian first league.
Especially due to the emergence of the Longteng team, this year's Chinese Super League teams have set off a storm of youth, Liu Xing of Beijing Guoan, Gao Jun and Shu Jun, who played the main force in Guangzhou Evergrande due to Cannavaro's reuse of young players, plus the average age of the Longteng team, everyone saw that the group of Chinese players who have been famous for a long time played well, and also saw a group of young players have a dazzling performance.
It seems that Chinese football has not seen such a thriving scene for many years.
However, only Zhang Sheng knows that except for a few players in the current team of the Longteng team, the other young players have reached their peak level, and there is no possibility of any big growth in the future, and it is more difficult to let them play well in the next AFC Champions League knockout stage.
Of course, Zhang Sheng won't say anything like this, and no one will believe it if he can't say it now, after all, others won't be able to see the potential value of players like him.
Putting these thoughts aside, Zhang Sheng turned his attention back to the Chinese Super League, as there was a Chinese Super League match against Jiangsu Shuntian this weekend.
Compared with the first-team team, which is not injured or sick and is in good shape, other problems have begun to plague Zhang Sheng again, because this time the U16 national team and the national Olympic team have to train for a long time.
U16 training camp is slightly better here, this time their call-up of players are 1999-2000 age group born players, now there are not many players of this age group in the Longteng team, only non-system call-up players - Wang Xing, just called central defender Lu Yangyang.
However, the Football Association in order to qualify for the U16 qualifiers, proposed that this warm-up match should be recruited by two players born at the end of 1998, Cao Jinghao and Shen Jun, for this rude request, Zhang Sheng categorically refused, these two players are indeed 16 years old now, but they can only catch up with the budget of this year's Asian Junior Championship, and when next year's Asian Junior Championship starts, they are already overage.
If the budget game has to rely on these two overage players of the Longteng team to play, what can it do when it comes to the Asian Junior Championship.
In the end, the Longteng Club and the Football Association reached an agreement, and when the qualifiers were held in September, Cao Jinghao and Shen Jun could go to the game, as for the previous series of warm-up matches, it was not necessary, Wang Xing and Lu Yangyang could go to such a game to accumulate experience, after all, neither of them signed up for this season's Chinese Super League. And Cao Jinghao and Shen Jun, as the players who signed up for the Chinese Super League in Longteng Club this season, are not necessary, and the two of them are likely to have the opportunity to play in the Super League, because the National Olympic team is also going to train here, and a large number of people may go to participate.
At the same time as the U16 national team training, in order to participate in the biennial Toulon Cup, the national Olympic team began a long training camp, according to the initial requirements of the Chinese Football Association to the Longteng Club, it can be seen that they attach great importance to the Toulon Cup.
As the dark horse of the last Toulon Cup, the organizers of the Toulon Cup once again sent an invitation to the Chinese Football Association, hoping that they could send elite players to participate in this competition, and the Chinese Football Association, which has always wanted to let the National Olympic team run in more, also agreed.
This list includes Yao Tian, Zhu Xuhe, Xiong Jian, Du Zhenyu, Wei Zhimin, the five substitute players, Zou Weijia, Yu Bo, Xiao Yunfan, the three rotation players are also listed, of course, the most outrageous is Tao Wentao, Lin Feng and Zhou Zhou, the three main players of the Longteng team, and even the core players are also included, and Lin Feng and Zhou Zhou are also the first and second captains of the Longteng team respectively, which can be seen from the status of the two of them in the Longteng club.
For the request of the Football Association, Zhang Sheng of course refused, not to mention that Yu Bo and Xiao Yunfan have both been selected for the national team, Lin Feng and Zhou Zhou are the main force of the national team, and Lin Feng was even treated by the national team coach Perrin as the core player of the team's midfield.
There is no point in them going to the Toulon Cup, although in terms of age they are at least a year younger than most of the current Olympic squad.
Of course, this time the Chinese Football Association's proposal to the Longteng Club is only a preliminary intention, and it is estimated that they cannot think that the Longteng Club will let players like Lin Feng and Zhou Zhou participate in the Toulon Cup.
Like negotiating with the Chinese Football Association, Zhang Sheng has always been left to the club's general manager Ding Kun to be responsible, so Zhang Sheng only gave Ding Kun a bottom line - the main force and rotation can not go, and the substitute can not go, if the Football Association is really tough, you can appropriately let several players in the U19 age group participate, and at the same time, you can lead to trouble, and recommend several players on loan to the Football Association, those players are all in the 1995-1996 age group, some of the U19 national team are too old to reach, and some of the U23 are slightly younger, of course, when they are loaned out, Zhang Sheng and the club on loan have signed the conditions of release on the national team call-up, which can completely allow them to pass the national Olympic team to support the façade, and their potential value is no worse than the main players of the current Longteng team, maybe they can grow faster with those world powerhouses.
When Ding Kun and the Chinese Football Association were arguing, Zhang Sheng led the team to participate in the Chinese Super League away, and this time the opponent was Jiangsu Shuntian.
Now Jiangsu Shuntian's lineup is still good, there are a number of good domestic players in the team, they have always played well in the national team in history, and there are players like Samir who can obviously be the thighs of the Chinese Super League team in terms of foreign aid.
In the position of head coach, because of the appearance of Zhang Sheng, Gao Hongbo has no history of coaching Jiangsu Shuntian, and Petraescu came to the team half a year early.
This game is exactly like this, with the AFC Champions League and the morale of the momentum of the Longteng team from the beginning of the game did not give Jiangsu Shuntian much chance, foreign striker Karl Tansen in the penalty area shooting ability is good, but unfortunately his one-on-one ability is not enough, the Longteng team in the midfield of Roque Gill and Lin Feng's double back let him basically stop in the midfield. On the contrary, the powerful attack group of the Longteng team could not break the backline of the Sainty team for a while.
In the first half, Petroscu can also allow players to use their strong running ability to press high, but in the second half, the Longteng team with more obvious technical advantages gradually gained the upper hand, in the thirtieth minute of the second half, Pato still has the strength to break through at high speed, and Ren Hang, who defended him, was a little unable to keep up, and finally Tao Wentao's beautiful through ball found Pato, Pato shook off Ren Hang's defense, burst into the penalty area and shot decisively, goalkeeper Zhang Sipeng was not in a hurry to save, and could only watch the ball fly into the net.
After the first goal appeared, the rest of the game became smooth, in the 43rd minute of the second half, because of physical problems in the defense of the Shuntian team leaked again, substitute Zou Weijia a beautiful header scored the first goal of the Chinese Super League this season, to determine the advantage of the game.
In the end, the score of 2:0 was maintained to the end, and the Longteng team still maintained an unbeaten run throughout the season.
After the game, everyone reported a lot about this game, but this time the protagonist was not the winning Longteng team, but the losing Jiangsu Shuntian, because the two popular international players in the Shuntian team, Wu Xi and Sun Ke, were in the transfer rumors.
Wu Xi, as a player from Hebei, has always been an important target for several teams in Hebei, in addition to the local tyrant club Hebei Huaxia Happiness that is still in the Chinese League, the current Hebei Shijiazhuang Yongchang is also eyeing him, and most of the rumors about Wu Xi's transfer back to the Hebei team come from this.
Compared with Wu Xi, the transfer of another player, Sun Ke, is even more fierce, as a new star of the current national team, his performance in the Asian Cup is obvious to all, and his high level has also become the meat in the eyes of many Chinese Super League tycoons.
A large part of the reason for Sun Ke's transfer is because of his salary, after becoming the absolute main force of Jiangsu Shuntian in the 2012 season, his annual salary rose to 100w, which was acceptable in the Chinese Super League at that time, but after that, the annual salary of the players of the Chinese Super League teams rose wildly, and Sun Ke's annual salary has not moved.
At the end of the 2014 season, Sun Ke's contract was only one year to expire, and Shun Tian thought of renewing his contract with Sun Ke to raise his salary, but at this time, a team had already secretly begun to contact him, and opened a contract of 800w annual salary for the first domestic player in the Chinese Super League, and the annual salary of 500-600w offered by the Shuntian team could no longer satisfy Sun Ke.
He has rightfully become the focus of the transfer market right now.
Of course, after this game, there is a more exciting topic, that is, because Guangzhou Evergrande was once again forced to draw at home by Guangzhou R&F, the opponent of the same city, and the Longteng team is already 5 points ahead of the second-ranked Guangzhou Evergrande, which has never happened in the Chinese Super League for so many years.
Various media have predicted that this season's Guangzhou Evergrande will eventually be ousted by the Longteng team as the hegemon of the Chinese Super League, and the news that the upper boss of Guangzhou Evergrande is dissatisfied with Cannavaro is also spreading.
Regarding Cannavaro's dismissal, there have been rumors in the outside world for a long time, but Guangzhou Evergrande ranked first in the AFC Champions League before, and was only 3 points behind the Longteng team in the Chinese Super League.
But now the situation is different, Guangzhou Evergrande's biggest rival Longteng team not only played easily in the AFC Champions League, but also won every game in the Chinese Super League, and now the gap of 5 points more than Evergrande has reflected the gap between the two teams, in the national team The members of the two teams are evenly divided, in terms of foreign aid, Evergrande's player ability is not worse than that of the Longteng team, so in the upper echelons of Guangzhou Evergrande, the head coach has become the key to the competition between the two teams.
Zhang Sheng, as the absolute spiritual leader of the Longteng team, has been leading the team until now, familiar with the team, familiar with the Chinese Super League, and his ability is also obvious to all, and Cannavaro, as a novice coach and a newcomer in the Chinese Super League, is obviously not favored by the upper echelons of Guangzhou Evergrande.
When the results of the team did not meet expectations, it became Cannavaro's fate to get out of class.
Regarding these rumors from the outside world, Zhang Sheng probably knows in his heart that Wu Xi's transfer is purely groundless, Sun Ke's transfer is full of twists and turns, and Cannavaro's dismissal is a sure thing.
Zhang Sheng is just a spectator for these things, but it is a headache for his club, because the negotiations with the Football Association are not smooth.
They have no strong requirements for several main and rotation players of the Longteng team, but they are more resolute towards several substitute players.
The Chinese Football Association also knows who is the best speaker in the Longteng Club, when Zhang Sheng began to coordinate with the Football Association, the Football Association contributed many people to the national team at all levels Zhang Sheng is still very face-saving, and finally Zhu Xuhe and Xiong Jian were allowed to join the team this time, and the other players did not go, as a supplement, the players on loan to the Chinese League were all selected for the National Olympic team.
Because this season, the players on loan to the Chinese League have played more than the expectations of those loan clubs.
They have become the absolute main force in their respective clubs, especially the Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopards with two Longteng team loan players, they have the strongest players on loan and the most rich game experience, and now the Tianshan Snow Leopards even stand in the second place in the Chinese League, which is better than those local tyrants in the Chinese League.
These players deserve to be selected for the Toulon Cup.
