56. Better performance
Shanghai East Asia was once known as the "Chinese Manchester United" in China. In fact www.biquge.info there is a reason for this.
Just as the rise of Manchester United has the persistence of the old coach Ferguson, Shanghai East Asia also has an old coach who has been established from the blue wisps of the road - Xu Genbao.
Coach Xu Genbao is a famous figure in domestic football, and he is very successful both as a player and in his coaching career. However, when he was in his 50s, he had already won numerous honors, and he was well aware of the withering of domestic football youth training, so he resolutely gave up his high-paying coaching position and began to devote himself to the training of youth football, and worked for 15 years.
At first, Xu Genbao's psychological bottom line for the base was 8 million, which was all his savings. But on June 1, 2000, when the first shovel of foundation soil was excavated, the cost began to get out of control. After the completion of the base in October 2001, Xu Genbao's total investment has reached 30 million yuan, not only all the savings have been exhausted, but also to the bank loan of more than 20 million yuan, a year of interest alone to repay more than 1.4 million yuan.
Unlike other football schools, Xu Genbao does not make money by recruiting students. A small player has to spend at least about 20,000 yuan a year for Xu Genbao. As a last resort, Xu Genbao began to "sell face" everywhere: Wanda's boss ****** as a friend, he had sponsored the base for 1 million yuan, and Mizuno, Golden Throat, Wahaha and other enterprises donated some equipment free of charge. Lao Xu is also trying to "open source": he contacted the Chongming Tourism Bureau and used the base as a scenic spot, and tourists could pay five yuan for a ticket, and he could earn thousands of yuan a month. There is also a sale of football peripheral products, and even reporters who go to interview are told that they can interview Xu for one night. Recalling these days, Xu Genbao said: "I have to accompany the guests to take pictures, sign autographs, eat, and sell books and stamps...... Of course, you have to have my signature, I have to sign Bing......"
But the scattered income is not enough to cover the high annual loans. In 2001, Xu Genbao accepted the invitation of Shanghai COSCO Club to go out again, and before leaving, he said to the team, I don't care about you, but go out to make money for you!
Later, his friend, Xu Zexian, the boss of COSCO, asked him: "Investment is about returns, how many years are you going to make returns?" Genbao said: "Ten years! 02 Ten years of sharpening the sword, just a 'semi-finished product', now I am fully committed to 'sharpening the sword for another ten years'." Xu Zexian sighed: "No businessman can take the risk of ten years of investment. ”
Even so, Xu Genbao and Xu have never been stingy in the selection of players, so there is an endless stream of good players from East Asia, including Cao Yunding (Shanghai Shenhua), Bai Jiajun (Shanghai Shenhua), Zheng Kaimu (Shanghai Shenhua), Zhang Linpeng (Guangzhou Evergrande), Wang Jiayu, Jiang Zhipeng, Gu Chao and so on.
And now the most famous one who remains in the East Asian team is the combination of Wenwu Zhengrong, among which Wu Lei has attracted the attention of the outside world, Xu Gui has predicted that he will be the future Maradona, and he himself has demonstrated the ability to surpass his peers.
Shanghai East Asia was promoted to the Chinese Super League as the champion of the Chinese Super League last season, and after being promoted to the Chinese Super League, the East Asian team did not spend too much money on foreign aid. Although Shanghai Port has offered 70 million title funds, coupled with the sponsorship of Shanghai Pudong Development and Rural Commercial Bank, the budget at Xu Genbao's disposal is still quite cold in the Chinese Super League, which squandered gold yuan. Wu Lei, who previously said that he planned to score 10 goals in the first season of the Chinese Super League, said frankly: "In terms of the lineup card, it may be that East Asia is really ranked in the bottom 1/3 of the Chinese Super League. ”
Although Coach Xu Genbao put forward the grand plan of 631 before the season, that is, to strive for the top six in 2013, the top three in 2014, and the championship in the third year, that is, in the 2015 season! Before the match with the Longteng team, Shanghai Dongya only won five wins, three draws and eight losses, and did not completely get rid of the problem of relegation.
Shanghai Dongya obviously didn't care much about the battle for the strongest youth training in China, judging from the starting list they provided, it was basically a full substitute lineup, and the young players were all 93 or even 94 years old. It can be seen that the East Asian team still focuses on the league.
The Longteng team has arranged the strongest lineup, except for N'Golo Kante who can't play because of a yellow card, even the foreign central defender McGovern, who has just returned from injury, is also on the field, and Kante's position is for Zhang Hao to replace his first appearance.
After kick-off, Shanghai East Asia sacrificed its usual tactic - defensive counterattack, which was also a last resort for the East Asia team. Originally, according to the historical process, Gao Hongbo would be the coach of Shanghai East Asia this season, but because of the appearance of the Longteng team, Gao Hongbo began to study abroad again, and the time was set for 1-2 years, which is a long-term process. Therefore, Shanghai East Asia had no choice but to use former Shenhua head coach Xi Zhikang to serve as the head coach this season.
According to the characteristics of Shanghai East Asia, Xi Zhikang designated the tactics of focusing on defense and using Wu Lei's sudden start speed and technology to fight counterattacks.
But this tactic did not play well in this game, first of all, the counterattack could not be beaten and attacked.
Because of a large number of substitute players, the strength of the team has been greatly affected, although Shanghai East Asia wants to use the momentum of young players to rush the defense of the Longteng team many times, but unfortunately the strength of the players is still far from enough.
In this game, the two backs of the Longteng team were Sun Yu and Zhang Hao. Sun Yu's defensive ability is nothing to say, whether it is in physical or defensive skills, there are not many players who suffer in front of him, even if many offensive players and even foreign aid of Chinese Super League players are defended by him without temper, and Sun Yu's passing and receiving transition in the midfield is also very good, although he does not have much ability to pass forward, but he is still very strong in controlling the rhythm of the game and the transfer station in the midfield.
The young player Zhang Hao who came up this time is a player with outstanding defense, he has been training with the football school and the first team for several months, although he has not yet shown his potential, but he has shown strong defensive ability in many intra-team confrontations and the reserve league of the Chinese League. Compared with Sun Yu, he is taller, physically stronger, and full of explosiveness.
In this game, the foreign aid of the Shanghai East Asia team, the high school striker Ibini is a Nigerian-Australian player, the foreign aid who transferred to Shanghai East Asia for the second time is 1.88 meters tall and weighs 78 kilograms, coupled with the unique strong body of a black player, but he did not bargain in front of Zhang Hao, because Zhang Hao also has a height of 1.88 meters, and his weight of 76 kilograms is not much worse than that of the other party.
After several long passes to Ibini to no avail, Shanghai East Asia's attack was in trouble.
The other side of the poor defensive counterattack tactics in this game is that in defense, Shanghai East Asia did not defend against it.
In the 35th minute of the first half, the foreign players of the Longteng team exerted their power. Ivo showed his strength in front of a group of 19,20 youngsters on the opposite side, he first used his skills in the midfield to shake Lin Chuangyi, and then won in the physical confrontation with another defender Hu Bowen, and then he gave the ball to Mahrez on the right side, Mahrez easily passed Geng Jia and went straight into the penalty area, and Mahrez passed an inverted triangle ball to Wen Kai in the penalty area, Wen Kai did not waste this opportunity, and scored the ball directly, and the score became 0:1.
The goal was entirely based on the individual ability of Ivo and Mahrez, who completely emptied the entire defence of Shanghai East Asia, and all Wenkai had to do was run to the right position and eat the pie.
After the goal, the Longteng team played more easily, and Sun Yu, who had just been called up by the national team, was also very excited in this game.
In the 43rd minute of the first half, Sun Yu, who rarely rushed forward with the ball in the midfield, suddenly dribbled forward, and in the process of insertion, he also made a triangular offensive pass with Ivo and Yu Bo, and advanced the ball to the left bottom line of the East Asian team, Yu Bo made a bottom cross on the left side, but the ball was punched out of the top of the arc of the penalty area by the goalkeeper Sun Le of the East Asian pair, and Sun Yu, who was standing at the top of the arc, did not stop the direct long shot, and the ball hit the opponent's body and refracted into the net, which was also Sun Yu's first goal this season.
The two-goal lead in the first half also meant that there was not much suspense in the game. Sure enough, in the second half, even if the Longteng team replaced Mahrez and McGovern, the East Asian team still did not have many chances, and finally the game ended with a score of 0:2.
At the press conference after the game, the reporter asked Zhang Sheng's goals for the Longteng team in the FA Cup this season, and Zhang Sheng jokingly said: "I know what you want me to say, but I definitely won't say that I want to get better results than last year." All I can say is that we will give it our all for the rest of the games and play game by game. In fact, Zhang Sheng's words still revealed his desire to win the FA Cup, after all, the failure to reach the final last year made Zhang Sheng angry.
The reporter asked: "I heard that the Longteng Club issued certificates and bonuses to the outstanding Longteng players in the World Youth Championships, and also plans to formulate the management regulations for the national players of the Longteng Club, so under what circumstances did you make this decision?"
Zhang Sheng took over this: "Yes, in order to commend the outstanding performance of the Longteng players of the national youth team in the World Youth Championships, we decided to award a reward of 10w yuan to the players who scored goals, and a bonus of 2w per person for the players who started the competition. And the rules for the corresponding national players are also being drafted, which will be announced in the near future. This is mainly due to the fact that the interests of the club and the national team are the same, and everyone is for Chinese football, so our Longteng Club fully supports all aspects of the requirements of the national team.
