52. It's hard to win
But then, the youngsters of the Longteng team still paid the price for their youth, in the 75th minute, Wei Zhimin cleared not far in front of the goal, allowing Dalian Albin's foreign aid striker Benko to dribble to the left after a steal in the middle and scored with a left-footed volley, Dalian Albin pulled back a point.

After being pulled back a goal, the young players of the Longteng team were a little anxious, and they all wanted to open the score quickly, and Zhang Sheng's instructions to let them play the offensive before the game also made them a little impatient, but Dalian Albin was replacing Iraqi foreign aid Ikram and replacing Sun Bo with Sun Bo to play more smoothly in attack.
In the 80th minute, it was Sun Bo's header in the midfield, and Bruno quickly inserted a left-footed shot from 9 meters in front of the goal. Dalian Albin equalized in just five minutes.
Zhang Sheng could only shake his head at this goal, the players are still young, but it is more effective to have such a lesson to guide them than to train for a week. Zhang Sheng shouted loudly on the sidelines: "Stabilize down, pass more control!" After speaking, he pressed his hands down, indicating that everyone should calm down.
After receiving Zhang Sheng's instructions, the players of the Longteng team were finally willing to slowly cooperate in the midfield. Then Zhang Sheng replaced Ding Huaiyi, who was almost exhausted, and replaced him with another 19-year-old Xiong Jian, who can play on the right side and in the middle of the midfield, and he is a good addition to the team's bench.
After the Longteng team gradually grasped the initiative, Dalian Albin began to retreat across the board, and it seems that they are also very satisfied with getting a point. In the end, the game also ended with a score of 2:2, and after three rounds, the Longteng team only won two draws and one loss, which was a rare win.
After the game, Zhang Sheng did not criticize the players, after all, this game is not a normal game, a large number of substitutes themselves have greatly reduced the strength of the team, these players are very inexperienced in the game, and being able to lead and score 2 goals before has shown that their ability is good, and the difference is just experience.
Zhang Sheng said to the players with a pleasant face: "This is the official game, this is professional football, a few minutes of distraction on the field, a few minutes of panic, in exchange for conceding the ball." I've always been spreading the idea in the team that I allow you to make mistakes, but I won't allow you to make the same mistakes all the time. You see the consequences of your mistakes, and I think you should sum up this experience and prepare for the future. I said before the season that we are going to have a lot of games this season. AFC Champions League, League, FA Cup, national teams at all levels, these people here will have a lot of opportunities to play, how to grasp it is up to you. ”
In the face of Zhang Sheng's encouraging criticism, the players were in good spirits, which is also the advantage of young people, and everyone is more motivated than other players.
When Zhang Sheng was relieving the pressure on the players in the team, the outside world was indeed criticized.
Because after three rounds of the league, there are a large number of national youth teams who are expected to join the national team, and there are also a bunch of national youth teams, Jiangcheng Longteng, a player of the national Olympic team, actually only got 2 points and ranked third from the bottom. In contrast, it is soaring in the AFC Champions League, with two draws and one win in three games, ranking second in the group.
Even the fans laughed and said: "How difficult it is for Nima to play in the Chinese Super League, undefeated in the AFC Champions League, undefeated in the Chinese Super League, it seems that the level of the Chinese Super League is too high." ”
Of course, the criticism of the Longteng team is nothing compared to Guangzhou Evergrande. Although the Longteng team seems to be strong, it is still a promoted horse after all, and the players were poached a lot before the season, and the injuries of the core players one after another were also considered by the outside world to be understandable for the poor performance of the Longteng team.
On the contrary, Guangzhou Evergrande was scolded even more, because after the first three rounds of competition, Evergrande ranked 7th with one win, one draw and one loss. In the last round, it was defeated by Changchun Yatai at home with a score of 1:3. As a large number of poaching other teams before the season, and at the same time introducing high-level foreign players like Diamanti, plus a bunch of national team players in the team, Evergrande actually played like this, and was immediately criticized by the media.
Fans also began to miss Conca, the king of celestial bodies, thinking that a player like Diamanti, who is old and has average ability, should not be the target of Guangzhou Evergrande's introduction, and there are even rumors that the reason why Lippi introduced them was completely for his son Lippi Jr. to pull business, and they also took kickbacks in it.
However, the same as the Longteng team, Guangzhou Evergrande have a strong performance in the AFC Champions League, and they are now firmly at the top of the group stage with 2 wins and 1 draw, including a 3-1 win over South Korean powerhouse Jeonbuk Hyundai in the last AFC Champions League game.
Attentive media and fans couldn't help but be surprised when they opened up the records of several other Chinese Super League teams in the AFC Champions League. Because now in Group E of the AFC Champions League, Shandong Luneng with 3 games, 1 win, 2 draws and 5 points with the advantage of goal difference beat South Korea's Pohang Steelers to first place in the group; in Group F of the AFC Champions League, North Kyung Guoan is 5 points with one win and two draws, and is ranked first with Seoul FC in the K League and Hiroshima Three Arrows in the J League with 4 points; even Jiangcheng Longteng, a promoted horse and the new team of the AFC Champions League, is undefeated in Group H as the second place.
So far, the four Chinese Super League teams in the AFC Champions League have performed very well, and according to this situation, it is likely that the four Chinese Super League teams will join forces to enter the knockout stage.
At the same time, it is very interesting to compare the Super League rankings of these four teams, Beijing Guoan is indeed playing very well now, ranking first with a record of three wins, and counting further down, it is not until the 7th place that Guangzhou Evergrande is seen; Shandong Luneng is also a win, a draw and a loss, ranking 9th because of goal difference; not to mention the Longteng team, it is only the third from the bottom.
For a time, the level of the Chinese Super League was comparable to the AFC Champions League, and the Chinese Super League was the first league in Asia. In the face of such bottomless touting, Zhang Sheng could only shake his head, after all, whether it is the overall level, the league operating environment, the club's software and hardware facilities, and the training of young players are far inferior to Japan's J-League and South Korea's K-League.
Zhang Sheng knows that in the next AFC Champions League match in history, Beijing Guoan is out of the game with two losses and one draw, Shandong Luneng is eliminated after three consecutive defeats, even Guangzhou Evergrande is only one win and two losses, and it is not good to play well, and it was also eliminated by the big dark horse Western Sydney Wanderers in the later quarters of the finals.
The good results of several teams in the Chinese Super League did not last until the end.
However, Zhang Sheng doesn't think about these now, because after this game, the team does not have the task of the AFC Champions League, and Zhang Sheng gave the players who have been tired of fighting for two days off, so that they can rest and adjust and relax.
The players rested, but Zhang Sheng couldn't because he still had to see Ivo and Shu Jun, the two injured players. Ivo was injured in the Super Cup before the season, and it was still relatively serious, and the team doctor gave him more than 3 months of treatment at the time, and he is now in his recovery period, while Shu Jun is still unable to get out of bed and walk because of a torn ligament in his ankle.
In the face of Zhang Sheng's visit, Ivo seemed very comfortable, and the man who used to be a special soldier was very optimistic: "It's okay, such an injury is inevitable for every professional player." From the day I chose to become a professional player, I expected that I would be injured and that I would recover well and return to the team. ”
Zhang Sheng said: "Now the team is without you, the game is very hard, I really hope you return to the team one day sooner." But anyway, the body is the most important, I don't want you to be too anxious, just come back and get injured again, take it slowly, and when you are completely healed, we will be more assured. ”
After saying goodbye to Ivo, Zhang Sheng found Shu Jun, who looked very depressed at this time, because this was the second year in a row that he had been seriously injured. Last season, Shu Jun injured his groin at the World Youth Championships and rested for more than a month. This season has just begun, another torn ligament, and more than two months of rest, and a series of such major injuries are indeed a very big blow to a team.
As the captain of the team, Shu Jun has always taken the responsibility very seriously, the team's results in the league during this time are not satisfactory, he has always been the most desperate one on the field, his injury this time is also related to the body has reached a critical value after being too tired, otherwise it is difficult to cause a ligament tear with a simple broken foot.
Zhang Sheng could only comfort him: "Shu Jun, you are the captain of the team, I don't want our captain to have a bitter face all day long, because you are a role model for the players in the team, and your low mood will affect many teammates." ”
Shu Jun reluctantly smiled when he heard Zhang Sheng say this, and said, "Coach, is my body not suitable for playing football?" I'm always hurt. ”
When Zhang Sheng heard Shu Jun say this, he hurriedly said, "Don't think about it. It's not your responsibility to get injured, it's because I didn't set up the players on my side, and the continuous battles and fatigue are the reasons for your injury. You're the captain, you run more and spend more energy on the pitch than everyone else. Didn't you see me making a big rotation today? Actually, the other players have also reached a critical point, and I should have given you a break every game in the game so that you wouldn't get hurt, and all the responsibility is mine. ”
Then Zhang Sheng patted Shu Jun on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, take a good rest, I'm still waiting for you to come back and help me manage the team." ”
Seeing Zhang Sheng's initiative to take the blame, Shu Jun was very moved, and he hurriedly said: "Coach, I will listen to your words and recuperate." ”
After communicating with the two wounded, Zhang Sheng was ready to participate in another matter, which was also a major event of Longteng Group. (To be continued.) )
