Zhang Sheng stood on the sidelines, his eyes full of anxiety.

What he is anxious about is not the backwardness of the team, there are wins and losses in football games, and no one can always be a winning general, what he is anxious about is Tao Wentao's injury.

Tao Wentao ankle has hidden dangers are well known, although the treatment, it is not as good as those physically gifted players, at the same time he likes to play football, the delicate style of technique determines that he is easy to be violated by opponents, after he began to play the main force in the past two seasons, he has become the object of other people's key care, injuries have also begun to appear frequently, and his last injury has not been long ago.

Li Xin obviously likes Tao Wentao very much: "Tao Wentao, Tao Jin, both surnamed Tao, the performance of the two on the field is really different." ”

As early as before the start of the season, Li Xin and Dong Lu, a pair of cross talk pairs, were quite critical of Shenhua.

Dong Lu once described Shenhua's four major defensive players Professor Qin, Shi Linzan, Li Jianbin and Bai Jiajun as the "four villains" of the Chinese Super League in an Internet TV show.

In Zhang Sheng's view, Shenhua's red and yellow cards have topped the league list for several consecutive years, proving that the team is completely striving to exchange for good competition results by conniving at the roughness and outrage of kicking actions.

At the beginning of the season, Shenhua's roughness slowly extended from a few villains to the whole team. In the warm-up game before the season, Shenhua played a friendly match with the second-division team Haikou Boying, and Bai Jiajun and Qin Sheng were sent off for rough fouls and red cards one after another. After that, Shenhua went to Okinawa, Japan for training, Bai Jiajun and a substitute player were sent off one after another with red cards, and the team finally lost.

In the fourth round of the league, Shenhua played Changchun Yatai, Tao Jin killed in the opponent's penalty area, and directly kicked Yatai player Yin Yaji's face, who fell to the ground on the spot and was immediately sent to an ambulance and went directly to the hospital for treatment.

What Zhang Sheng didn't know was that in this season in real history, Tao Jin also violently stepped on Soriano in the later match with Bei Jingguo An, who rolled directly on the spot until his body stiffened, which shows how much damage this foot has.

Dong Lu summed it up very well: "This kind of team culture, what is not dirty will not become dirty." ”

After a brief examination of Tao Wentao, the team doctor carried him to the sidelines on a stretcher.

The head coach, who had already shown Tao Jin a red card, began to signal to enter the penalty procedure.

Nie Jiang, who was standing in front of the ball, stared at the opponent's goal, as Tao Wentao's good brother, he was very eager to score this goal.

After the referee's whistle blew, Nie Jiangzhu ran up and fired a powerful volley towards the goal, but the result was too much pursuit of power and angle, and the football grazed the right post and flew directly to the stands.

"Oops, hit high. Li Xin was also very sorry.

Nie Jiang, who lost the penalty, held his head even more, unable to believe that the shot just now was completed by himself.

As the captain, Lu Zhihui came over and hugged Nie Jiang's head, hugged him gently, and comforted him.

The shooting of the penalty kick was flying, and the Longteng team was obviously a little anxious, and even Zhang Sheng on the sidelines kept waving his hand, letting the team press forward and strive for a goal.

The manager's emotions obviously affected his players, Zhang Sheng replaced Tao Wentao with Ni Kai, and even replaced left wingback Cao Jinghao with Lu Yangyang in the end, sending Lu Zhihui and Li Ming to take the lead.

It can be said that Zhang Sheng took out all the offensive means that he could use.

And Shenhua's backhand is also-for-tat, the teenager Cong Zhen replaced Zou Weijia, who had worked hard all day, and finally replaced Sun Yu with Wang Shouting, making it clear that he was going all out to defend this point.

"The Longteng team started the 45-degree bombing, but it was a little late, Moreno on the opposite side, Wang Shouting, are all 1.9 meters, 1.88 meters tall, and they still have an advantage in defending high-altitude balls. Dong Lu's theory of 45 degrees of bombing came out again, "Ten minutes earlier, fight like this, it is estimated that there will be a chance." ”

Just when Dong Lu was saying this, the pass from the periphery of the Longteng team passed into the penalty area, and Tang Jin was actually let go in the penalty area.

"Oops, this actually shot away. Such a great opportunity. Seeing Tang Jin's anti-aircraft gun, Li Xin's face was incredible.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the penalty area just now, Shenhua's goalkeeper Xu Di seized the opportunity to fall in the penalty area, saying that he was hit and injured.

The Dragons fans in the stands booed wildly.

The team doctor of the Shenhua team gave Xu Di a symbolic examination, and after spraying some spray, the latter slowly waved his hand to let his teammates press forward, and after several consecutive runs, he returned and gestured not to kick off the ball, and the referee came over and showed him a yellow card.

"Although the ball was scored by Moreno, it can be said that the three former Longteng players contributed a lot. Zou Weijia's involvement in the front court, Sun Yu's defense and tandem in the midfield, Xu Di's many wonderful saves, these three former Longteng players smothered their old club at their former home stadium. Dong Lu also sighed, "They are all good players." ”

"The game went into stoppage time, and the Dragons pressed all the way up, let's see if there is a miracle in the last five minutes. ”

It's a pity that until the end of the game, Nie Jiang, who missed the penalty, never eased up, and Tang Jin took two shots by himself, but he didn't pose any threat to Shenhua's goal.

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Shenhua beat the Dragons for the first time in history. Li Xin really didn't expect Shenhua to win this victory.

As a partner, Dong Lu already knew what Li Xin wanted to say, and he quickly called up the various record data about the Longteng team prepared before the game, and took over Li Xin's topic: "Yes." Previously, Shenhua and Longteng played six times in the Super League, with two draws and four losses, and if you count the FA Cup, they have two draws and six losses. On the contrary, the Longteng team is on its home turf, and the Chinese Super League is unbeaten in 43 consecutive games. If you include the FA Cup and AFC Champions League, they are unbeaten in 76 games. That's a terrifying number. ”

"Yes, the home unbeaten record in a single round of the league, they are still less than the previous Dalian Wanda, which was unbeaten in 55 league games that year, while the home league unbeaten record was 57. ”

"It's too difficult to break this record, and now there are too many foreign players in the super big names, and one outbreak, the result of the game will change. Of course, we also like to watch games like this. ”

As the two commentators began to discuss these haves and haves, the players of the Longteng team left the stadium one after another after greeting the fans in the stands, but Shenhua's side has been interacting with the few Expeditionary Force fans in the stands, and they are reluctant to leave for a long time.

When the game was over, Zhang Sheng came to his senses completely, and he lost this game unjustly.

He himself was underestimated, and before the game even started, he boasted in front of Demichelis that the team would definitely win.

Knowing that after a week of double games, the last game before the break is the easiest to relax, Zhang Sheng did not go out of his way to advise, especially Shenhua has been playing more and more rough in the past two seasons, and the coaching staff has not made corresponding countermeasures.

These are things that you should avoid as a manager.

It can only be said that Demichelis watched the game to give Zhang Sheng a lot of pressure, this pressure is not like the pressure brought by those dignitaries or game results, it is purely that Zhang Sheng wants to prove to those poor friends that he has become stronger, and this concept is still very strong.

In the end, Zhang Sheng lost his wife and soldiers, not to mention losing the game, Tao Wentao was also injured.

Worried that Tao Wentao and Zhang Sheng didn't have time to care about Demichelis after the game, he has now put this matter behind him for the time being.

Team doctor Li Xiang reported in a timely manner: "After a preliminary examination, the bones must be fine, and the ligaments are estimated to be not too problematic, he was stamped on the ankle that supported the foot, and the final situation will be said after the hospital examination." ”

After listening to Li Xiang's reply, Zhang Sheng was relieved, with Li Xiang's cautious temperament, if he can say these words, Tao Wentao is estimated to be mainly injured, and he can play after a week or two of rest at most.

At the regular post-game summary meeting, Zhang Sheng took the initiative to admit his mistake: "Our arrangement is too underestimated. The pre-match preparations were not in place. ”

Although the game was lost, according to the established plan, the Longteng team still gave the players a holiday, and the players who worked hard for three months will have 5 days of vacation, and the players selected for the national team left the team and flew to Guangzhou to gather.

On June 1, five players from the Longteng team were selected in the 25-member national team squad announced by the Chinese Football Association, including Nie Jiang, Tao Wentao, Qi Ming, Lu Zhihui, and Huang He.

Now Tao Wentao was temporarily removed from the list because of his injury, after consultation between the Chinese Football Association and the Longteng team, because of the results of the final examination of the hospital, Tao Wentao still had a strained ankle or ligament and had to rest for more than two weeks.

After everything was taken care of, Zhang Sheng had time to greet Demichelis, who was about to return to Germany on his tourist visa.

"What are your plans for going back?" Zhang Sheng asked.

"Keep looking for a job. I now have an A license and actual experience leading a team, so it's no problem to find a job as an assistant coach in the Bundesliga B or C. Demi said lightly, "To be honest, I wanted to come to China to work. But I have been studying and working in Germany for 7 years now, and I can apply for German citizenship in one year, otherwise, I would really stay in China, and the salary here is really good. ”

Zhang Sheng also knew that Demy, as an Argentine of German origin, had always wanted to return to Germany, and that he had a brother who succeeded his father in Argentina, and the family also supported his development in Germany.

"I have a job to introduce to you. Zhang Sheng remembered that Gao Hongbo returned to China a few days ago, and came to sit here for a while, mentioning that he wanted to find a comfortable assistant coach.

In the past season, Gao Hongbo's Munich 1860 can be said to have changed his fortune.

In real history, like RB Leipzig, Munich 1860 was frantically boycotted by fans because of foreign Middle Eastern owners, and the rule that the largest shareholder of a German professional club can only have a maximum of 49% of the voting rights makes the new owner scold him for bringing in high-level foreign aid out of his own pocket although he holds 60% of the club's shares.

Since 2011, more than 60 million euros have been invested, but the Middle East owners have been resisting in the club, and the two key competitive leadership positions of the sports director (or general manager) and the manager, the most critical in the team's operation, have always been controlled by the locals.

This can be seen in the xenophobia of German football circles (Germans discriminate against foreigners and think that self-righteousness is a common problem).

At the end of last year, the Middle East boss ruthlessly used means to get rid of the Germans in these two positions, so that Gao Hongbo, who was originally an assistant coach, came to the thunder.

Gao Hongbo, who is a good man, clearly knows that he is a scapegoat, or has not resisted the temptation to take the position of head coach of a European club.

Relying on the good reputation accumulated in the club before, Gao Hongbo worked hard and walked between the two factions by stepping on the tightrope, which can be regarded as bringing the team to the fifth from the bottom.

You must know that in real history, Munich 1860 was relegated, and it was relegated to the end, to play in the regional league, for this reason, in the final relegation play-offs, there was even a fan riot, which is a big deal.

After completing this simply impossible task, the German media that paid attention to the German B gave Gao Hongbo a lot of praise, and Gao Hongbo wisely chose to become famous, jumped out of the car and left.

At this time, it coincided with the problems of the promoted Maregsburg team, who finished third in the German Bundesliga last season, and their promotion meritorious coach Herrich was selected by Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen, and the team did not have a manager for the new season.

The club, which is positioned for relegation in the new season, selected Gao Hongbo under the guidance of Schlapner, an old friend of Chinese football, and the club obviously also took a fancy to Gao Hongbo's experience in relegation.

Assembling a team of head coaches from the Bundesliga is a great challenge for Gao Hongboke, and even if some of his old partners from Munich 1860 follow him, he still needs to choose another qualified helper.

Knowing that Zhang Sheng has a suitable candidate like Schurrle who understands Chinese, is still German, and comes from the German football circle, Gao Hongbo chose to come over to dig people for the first time, but unfortunately Schurrle has a heart to be a head coach.

But now Demichelis has become the most suitable person.

Zhang Sheng's introduction greatly increased Demichelis's interest, and after calling Gao Hongbo on the spot, the latter also expressed his gratitude to communicate well to see if there was an opportunity for cooperation.

I came to China to have a good time, but I didn't expect to get a job opportunity before leaving, if Zhang Sheng was a woman, Demichelis couldn't wait to come up and kiss the two.

Seeing off the ambitious Demichelis, Zhang Sheng finally had time to enjoy his rare vacation.

The particularity of the work of the head coach of football makes Zhang Sheng spend very little time with his children, and his son, who has shown good football talent since he was a child and likes football, often complains: "Dad doesn't play football with me." ”

This time, Zhang Sheng was finally able to drive the car, sing songs, and take his son to play football.
