After solving the problem of money, the preparation for the new season is basically the same, and other things, including player registration and club registration, are some procedural things. According to the regulations of www.biquge.info the Football Association, the number of applicants for the first team of the 2013 season cannot exceed 30, and the number of reserve teams cannot exceed 20.

But here, Zhang Sheng encountered a problem, that is, the first team players must not be less than 18 years old.

Among the players of the Longteng team, there are several players who are just not under the age of 18, and these players are still quite important to the players.

For example, Xu Mingyu. He was the main player of the team last season, and when Qin Minghao went out to participate in the national youth team competition, he was the one who supported the midfield of the Longteng team. However, in the 2013 season, Xu Mingyu was only 17 years old, and if he came strictly in accordance with the rules of the Football Association, he would definitely not be able to play. This has a huge impact on the attack and defense of the Dragons' midfield.

Also important is this season's second goalkeeper Zhou Wei, Liu Fangming's transfer gave the 16-year-old this year the opportunity to participate in the Chinese League, but he is also 17 years old next year He is not eligible to sign up for the first team, and the Longteng team has to arrange 2 U17 goalkeepers from the football school echelon to participate in the goalkeeper position, and the two goalkeepers are already 19 years old. It's just that their ability is relatively poor, Zhang Sheng has also used the system to see their ability index, they are only less than 40, and the potential value is only in their early 50s, that is to say, their ability is only worthy of playing as a substitute in the second division, even if they grow rapidly, they are only at the level of the substitute goalkeeper of the ordinary team in the middle league. Once Xu Di is injured or in poor form this season, the Longteng team will encounter the dilemma of having no goalkeeper available.

Similar to Zou Weijia, Du Zhenyu, Yao Tian and others who are still in special training at the football school. However, they have a relatively small impact on the team as substitutes.

But in fact, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. For example, players like "Wu Qiu King" Wu Lei, as well as Zhou Liao, Yang Zezhi and other players are all 14 or 15 years old to play in professional leagues. They were all curved in the beginning. The method is also very simple, which is to take advantage of the loopholes in the rules - there is no age limit for players from the reserve teams of the Chinese League and the Chinese Super League. The first team and reserve players of the Chinese League and the Chinese Super League are interconnected, that is, as long as you sign up for the first team, you can participate in the reserve team game, and many clubs that do not have their own echelon or incomplete echelon are to let the first-line substitutes who can't play the ball go to the reserve team to play and stay in shape. Players from the same reserve squad can also be moved to the first team at any time, mainly because in extreme circumstances – where there are extensive injuries – there are enough players to play in the first team.

Zhang Sheng's plan is this, first register these players for the reserve team, and as long as they have played a few reserve team games, they can be promoted to the first team for various reasons. At the same time, Zhang Sheng is also ready to let Nie Jiang also sign up for next year's reserve team competition, but Zhang Sheng is not ready to let him play in the first team, after all, he will only be 16 years old next year.

In fact, Zhang Sheng has always wanted to complain about the age regulations of the Football Association. Previously, the Football Association had a very strict age limit for the existing three leagues. For example, each team in the Chinese Second League can only register 5 players over the age of 25 in a season. Clubs in the Chinese League and the Chinese Super League do not allow players under the age of 18 to register.

As the Football Association intended, they weren't wrong.

For example, in 2004, it was the first year of the Chinese Super League. In order to cultivate young players and allow young players to get more opportunities to participate, the Chinese Football Association has set a limit that each participating team can only have 5 players over the age of 25 when registering. Since 2011, the Football Association has made a decision to allow local teams to participate in the competition.

Although this decision has given young players more opportunities to play and play, its disadvantages have become increasingly obvious in recent years - most teams are composed of players from various local teams after the National Games, making the China Second League a "separate field" for the National Games football competition. The excitement of the game has been greatly reduced, the league attendance is worrying, and some teams have empty stadiums at home. This has also caused a lot of complaints from investors, and some investors from the second club said: "The players participating in the game are all young players who are not famous, how can they attract fans?" Another major disadvantage of the restriction on the number of players over 25 years old is that it increases the cycle of success of new clubs. Most of the newly formed clubs recruit players from various local national teams, and young players are very lacking in both ability and game experience, and it takes one to two years of running-in to gradually mature, which virtually increases the club's investment.

In the end, this brain-dead decision was not canceled until the 2015 season of the Chinese Second League.

As for the age limit of the registered players in the Chinese League and the Chinese Super League, it is even more bizarre, and the reason of the Football Association is that 18 years old is an adult in order to sign a valid player contract, otherwise it is equivalent to using child labor. This rule in world football can make people laugh out loud. In the Premier League, players are required to sign a professional contract at the age of 17, and Wayne Rooney played for Everton and scored goals at the age of 16. The vast majority of talented players stand out at a very young age, and as long as they are physically and competently enough, if they can play in the professional league, they can greatly improve the level of the players.

This strange local rule was only lifted in the 2015 season. It's just that the current Dragon Club can't enjoy this benefit, and can only save the country.

With the arrival of New Year's Day in 2013, the 2013 season of the Chinese League is gradually approaching. The coaches hired by Red Bull to help Longteng Club in Europe are also in place. According to the regulations of the Football Association for the participating teams in the Chinese League, there is a head coach, 1-2 assistant coaches, 1 goalkeeper coach, 1 physical fitness coach, 1-2 doctors, team affairs and interpreters.

In the past, when the Longteng team was in the second division, because the second division league did not allow foreign aid, all positions were full, but after the foreign aid came to the Chinese league, the importance of translation was reflected.

It is not once or twice in the history of football that a team has lost or even fallen behind in results due to the language barrier between the coach and the players. There used to be a joke in English football. When he was in charge of Chelsea, he could only speak Italian, and Chelsea had a lot of foreign players from all over the country. Because of the language barrier, players need to communicate tactics to each other in the locker room, so a tactical instruction has to be translated into Italian, English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German to communicate between players, and in the end, everyone understands that the tactics are all different.

David Moyes was in charge of La Liga side Real Sociedad because of a language barrier that prevented him from communicating with the players, which eventually led to his dismissal, and his Scottish accent was a disadvantage to him.

At the same time, there is also such a paragraph in China, saying that the Chinese team is playing a game, and there is no goal for more than 80 minutes in the second half, and the players on the field are also XJBLT. The anxious Perrin wanted the players to use their brains to play the ball, so he shouted: "useyourhead!" and several players on the field who knew a little English understood: "Coach, this is let's use our heads, hurry up, hurry up, start the ball." "In the end, the Chinese team lost the game, and Perrin was sacked.

It's not that exaggerated, but it's very important. When Lippi first came to Guangzhou Evergrande, Evergrande was equipped with a mixed-race child named Ma Jiexiu as a translator, but his Chinese level was too poor, and the very demanding Lippi fired him three days later, and used his personal connections to invite Wen Qianshi. Later, someone in Evergrande revealed that Wen Qianshi and another translator, Weng Shudang, received an annual salary of nearly 50w in Evergrande every year. It can be seen that these high-level coaches attach great importance to the team's translation.

In order to ensure smooth communication with the four foreign aids, Zhang Sheng specially recruited 4 translators, 2 of whom were placed in the first team and two in the football school. The two translators in the first team are French and English. There is an English translator and a German translator at the football school. And these translators are well-versed in football vocabulary. The annual salary of each person is not low, and the salary plus bonus is more than 20w every year. In addition, Zhang Sheng himself is proficient in English, Portuguese and German, whether it is the first team or the football school, Zhang Sheng has no problem communicating with foreign teachers and foreign aid.

This season's fitness coach also needs to be replaced, Hans's fitness team has returned to China, and the current fitness team will come to China in the near future, this time the team members are even larger. Leading the way are Leutard (fitness coach) and Zetelmeiser (rehabilitation coach), both of whom were also part of the Bundesliga coach's conditioning and conditioning team before Magath. Magath's style of leading the team is known for its physical training intensity, but super-intensity training is rarely heard of with a large number of injuries, and it should be said that the strength of this team is first-class.

As for the goalkeeper coach, because Li Jian is about to go to Germany for further study, he has also made personnel adjustments this season, and the coach who came over is Tafarel of Brazil. It's also typical of a legend who retired as a coach, the only foreign goalkeeper at the peak of Serie A, who was swept away by Italian clubs after helping Brazil win the title over Italy in '94. This small goalkeeper has always been known for his simplicity and stability, and he is even more famous in football circles for saving penalties. He was also helped by Zhang Sheng's Brazilian brother Costa from Brazil using his father's connections. Historically, Tafarel also served as the goalkeeper coach of the Brazilian national team with Dunga. The arrival of Tafarel should greatly improve the quality of the current two goalkeepers.
