The winning streak in the league is very good news for the Dragons.

As the champions of last season's AFC Champions League, the Dragons participated in the Club World Cup, so their winter training time is naturally one month less than others, so a lot of training during this season's winter training period has been compressed.

Among them, although the physical reserve training is highly valued by the club and maintains the same training time as in previous seasons, the physical recovery of the players is not as good as that of other teams, which has also become a well-known shortcoming of the Longteng team this season.

For this reason, Zhang Sheng chose a large-scale rotation policy, and consecutive victories can also be implemented under this policy, because this is the basic condition of rotation.

For example, after the last game against Henan Jianye, the Longteng team had to fly to South Korea to challenge Pohang Steelers away, which was originally a very tiring thing, but the good results of the two lines made the Longteng team qualified to play a large number of substitute players.

So in this AFC Champions League game, a large number of fans found that they were surprised by the starting lineup of the Longteng team, that is, this is an all-Chinese class, an all-Chinese class with local Chinese players from starters to substitutes.

Such a lineup is something that has never happened in the history of the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League.

In the past, the Longteng team would also have an all-Chinese class, but most of them were foreign aides who got an advantage on the field, or foreign aides were forced to be injured and had to go off the field to play the all-Chinese lineup, and this time the Longteng team made it clear that it was to let local players fight.

This lineup of the Longteng team has also stimulated the Korean media very much, and the Chinese Super League team plays the AFC Champions League, and the situation of the K League team is very common, but it is a matter of the strong local players of the AFC Champions League team in the K League.

Now in the situation of Group H, Pohang Steelers does not mean that there is no chance of qualifying, they have 3 points, only three points less than Sydney FC, and there are still two rounds of matches in the AFC Champions League group, and Pohang Steelers still has hope.

So for this lineup of the Dragon Teng team, they feel both insulted and definitely a little lucky.

As Pohang Steelers, which is now only ranked fourth from the bottom in the K League, there is still a chance to give it a go, so this game is a rare Korean team with foreign aid to play the Chinese Super League team in the whole Chinese class.

Then when it came to the competition, Pohang Steelers were not in a good situation.

On the two flanks, the impact of Yu Bo and Xiang Tiange made Pohang Steelers extremely passive, except for the hasty big foot to find their frontcourt players, they were not able to pass the ball in their own half.

In the thirty-second minute of the first half, the Longteng team used Tao Wentao's pick pass in front of the penalty area and inserted a low shot to Tiange, which broke the deadlock and the score became 0:1.

Next, the backward Pohang Steelers played even more cramped, only three minutes after the goal, Xiong Jian broke the ball in front, and after his pass was handed to Tao Wentao, the latter's shot was slightly off the post, almost extending the score.

Tactically and technically passive, Pohang Steelers can only frequently use fouls to interrupt the pressure of the Dragons, but fortunately this is their home field, and the Dragons players are constantly being kicked down, but they rarely take cards.

However, this also gave the Longteng team a lot of opportunities for free-kicks in front, and towards the end of the first half, it was Tao Wentao's free-kick in front of the goal, which hit the lintel and Pohang Steelers escaped again.

At halftime, Pohang Steelers made a substitution, but the effect was not obvious, but Liang Dongxuan, who had just come on the field, did not quickly adapt to the rhythm of the game, and the referee really couldn't see it and gave him a yellow card.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Pohang Steelers took substitution measures again, and Vecelinovic, the only foreign aid on the field, was replaced by Zheng Yuanzhen, and completely relied on the speed of the frontcourt players to fight a counterattack.

However, such substitutions did not have any substantive effect, in the 58th minute of the second half, Qi Ming's long pass accurately found Zou Weijia, who turned around to protect the ball, and then carried away Pohang Steelers' central defender Kim Kwang-seok and entered the penalty area, facing the attacking goalkeeper to volley vigorously into the near corner, turning the score into 0:2.

He Wei, who was in charge of the commentary, also smiled lightly: "They are also mainly young players, Pohang Steelers are still too young here, they have no money and no one at the beginning of the season, and they have promoted a lot of people from the college team and youth team, but at present, it seems that they don't have much experience in the game, and they are too far behind in the face of the very experienced Longteng team players." ”

Partner He Wei's commentator Ou Chuliang also said: "Now in domestic clubs, it is difficult for young people to get ahead, the Longteng team gave them a chance, and they played. Look at Xiang Tiange, Zou Weijia, Tao Wentao, Qi Ming, who assisted, the younger one is only eighteen years old, and the oldest Qi Ming is only twenty-one, but their respective characteristics are extremely distinct. ”

As the game progressed, the Dragons fell back slightly in terms of fitness, and Pohang Steelers finally completed two shots that were not of very high quality.

But with the arrival of new forces like Huang He, Zhang Hao and Yan Xiaoyu, the physical fitness of the Longteng team has been greatly compensated, and Pohang Steelers, which has been under the heavy pressure of defense, even if they replace the captains, they can't win the boat.

Although the Longteng team did not score again in the end, they firmly suppressed the opponent in the half, and the score was fixed at 0:2.

After the game, Pohang Steelers head coach Cui Jinzhe was very convinced: "The players in the Longteng team are all players of the Chinese national team, they are stronger, and the score is a true reflection of the gap between the two sides." ”

Au Chuliang also gloated and concluded: "Pohang Steelers as a whole is completely out of shape today, this game is completely opposite to the performance of the previous Chinese and Korean teams, and the performance of the local players of the Longteng team proves that in the next World Cup qualifiers, we can't take ourselves too lightly, we still have the strength." ”

With the end of this round of games, the group qualification situation of the AFC Champions League East Asia has been completely clear, in addition to the Longteng team's all-Chinese class won easily, far more than all the teams in the group have already qualified, the other three Chinese Super League AFC Champions League teams have also won.

Among them, Jiangsu Suning and Guangzhou Evergrande are ranked first in the group. Guangzhou Evergrande is six points more than the second in the group with a crushing score has been determined to qualify for the first place in the group, Jiangsu Suning is also four points more than the third-ranked Tokyo FC, has been determined, the only suspense is who can get the first place in the group between them and Jeonbuk Hyundai.

Now it seems that Xiao Yunfan's assist for Jiangsu Suning was so crucial.

Otherwise, Jiangsu Suning, which lacks these two points, will go to challenge Jeonbuk Hyundai away in the final round of the group stage, while Tokyo FC is facing the weakest Vietnam Binh Duong in the group, and there will only be a two-point gap at that time.

It is also pleasing that Shanghai SIPG, after a crucial victory over Sanfrecce Hiroshima, are also four points more than the direct contenders, finishing second in the group and already ensuring qualification, which is a great honor for them who have just entered the AFC Champions League and can qualify from the group.

It is all too rare for the Chinese Super League team to qualify early, and domestic fans are cheering and excited for the full rise of the Chinese Super League clubs, while other leagues in Asia, especially the J-League and K-League of Japan and South Korea, are envious.

At the beginning of the season, the Longteng team sold a large number of people without supplementation but crushed all the way, and the media in Japan and South Korea could not find any black spots, and the other three Chinese Super League clubs became their sour targets.

In view of the key performances of big-name foreign players such as Goulart, Paulinho, Elkeson, Conca, Gian, Teixeira, and Ramirez, the three Chinese Super League clubs except for the Longteng team have been sourly called by the Japanese and South Korean media that they are completely relying on money to get results.

In particular, Jiangsu Suning's goals all came from foreign aid, and they were complained by the media in Japan and South Korea that there was no foreign aid, and this team was at the bottom of the group.

Only Zhang Sheng knows that compared to history, Guangzhou Evergrande and Jiangsu Suning were eliminated in a humiliated group, without the Longteng team to support Guangzhou Evergrande Lin Feng and Shu Jun, without Xiao Yunfan's key assist to Jiangsu Suning, without the excellent performance of these local players, there would never be such a grand occasion.

As the days when Zhang Sheng crossed over were getting closer and closer, he could only say silently in his heart: "I can only help you so much, and the road ahead will depend on you." ”

After the end of this AFC Champions League match, the consecutive victories made Zhang Sheng's points skyrocket, plus the five consecutive wins of the Chinese Super League, Zhang Sheng now has 270 points.

Zhang Sheng chose to summon the coach this time.

The welfare of crossing is about to disappear, so that Zhang Sheng now pays more attention to the construction of football "infrastructure", as a major pain point of football foundation, the coaching problem has been put by Zhang Sheng to a very high height, and the player can only summon one, and several high-level coaches may educate a group of high-level and a large number of qualified players above the level in the future.

There is also another reason that prompted Zhang Sheng to call coaches, that is, the coaches of Longteng Club and Longteng Football School have been dug up in large quantities.

Since the promulgation of the overall football plan by the state last week, the policy support for football is no longer the boots upstairs, but has been implemented in a real way, and people from all walks of life who have been waiting for this big cake for a long time have begun to stake their ground.

Among them, the coaching link, which is extremely important in football planning, has become a resource that everyone is fighting for, and correspondingly, the Longteng Club and Longteng Football School, which are extremely open to staff and players, have been greatly impacted.

The current Longteng Club and Longteng Football School have erected a very good reputation for Longteng Youth Training, but at the same time, it also gives a beacon to those local tyrants waving banknotes - there are good coaches here.

The youth training director of the football school, Heiko Fogel, is anxious during this time, and every day there are coaches who come to the personnel department to submit their resignation reports, although there are no coaches summoned by Zhang Sheng, but most of them are coaches who have two or three years of practical experience in Longteng Football School, and they can be described as capillaries that cannot be ignored in the body of Longteng Football School.

In order to retain these talents, Heiko Fogel had to personally participate in the management, and even so, it was not able to stop the wave of poaching.

Although these coaches signed training contracts when they entered Longteng Football School, and they were bound by liquidated damages during their tenure, the actual situation is that they don't care, and they will give hundreds of thousands of liquidated damages.

According to the information obtained from the outside world, after these coaches left Longteng Football School, the companies they went to work for were basically the treatment of the management, and the salaries and so on have been greatly improved.

It is impossible for the Longteng team to promote all the people who are going to leave to management positions, and there are not so many management positions to stuff them, so in the end they can only choose to break up peacefully - get a certain amount of liquidated damages and let the other party go.

Of course, there are not without personal entrepreneurship, for example, two or three young coaches want to go back to their hometown to create a football training institution.

For such entrepreneurs, Zhang Sheng's instructions to Longteng Football School are to fully support it, and it is impossible for Longteng Football School to establish branch schools in all places, so that these entrepreneurs can tap talents, and the infrastructure operation of football is also excellent.

So Longteng Football School gave them a lot of support - supporting them with more training equipment, giving them indiscriminate post-training opportunities, helping them connect with high-level training matches, and if possible, accepting the good players they have cultivated at a high price, and even promising to leave them a place in Longteng Football School, and welcome them back at any time to solve their worries.

Zhang Sheng did not hesitate to use all the 200 points on the coach's call this time, and the 4 youth coaches were bought by Zhang Sheng from the system's mall, ready to be accepted by the football school at any time.

Before these four coaches came to the football school, the defensive coach who was called last time was also officially recruited by the club, and Zhang Sheng included him in his coaching staff.

After the player call-up was completed, Zhang Sheng devoted himself to the next round of league preparations, and Zhang Sheng attached great importance to this game, because the Longteng team was going to challenge Guangzhou Evergrande away.

This is not only Zhang Sheng's attention, but in the eyes of countless people, this will be the six-point battle that will determine the Chinese Super League championship this season.

Unlike in history, the current Guangzhou Evergrande is much stronger than the Guangzhou Evergrande in the 2016 season in history.

At that time, because of the Club World Cup, Guangzhou Evergrande only trained for a month all winter, and also sacrificed Zou Zheng, a fullback who performed extremely well last season, in the Club World Cup.

In order to compete with the local tyrants for influence, Martinez, who spent a lot of money to introduce, also performed a mess.

After the first five rounds of matches, Guangzhou Evergrande was eliminated from the AFC Champions League group stage ahead of schedule, and the Chinese Super League was pressed by Jiangsu Suning to the second place in the league by one point.

How can such a result be satisfactory?
