144. Difficult

The two coaches called this time, Joel Lee from Costa Rica, is 43 years old this year, and Alexanian from Uzbekistan, he is also 44 years old this year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, after Zhang Sheng talked to the two of them, he quickly recognized the abilities of the two of them.

Joel Lee is the youth coach of Costa Rica's top domestic powerhouse, Alajuelens, Sporting Club, he has been coaching in this club for nearly ten years, has been responsible for the club's U9 echelon work, and it is with him such an excellent youth coach, in the just-concluded 2014 Brazil World Cup, the Costa Rica national team went all the way to the top 8, in their elimination of opponents Uruguay, Italy, England, Greece and other strong teams, and finally in the quarterfinals, Costa Rica drew 0-0 with the Netherlands in 120 minutes, only to lose in the penalty shootout.

And Alexaniyan is also from Uzbekistan's domestic powerhouse Ben Yudko, he has been coaching this top team in Uzbekistan for 20 years, although it has always been the U13 echelon, but the reputation in Uzbekistan football is still very loud, in fact, the development of football in Uzbekistan has only risen in recent years, after a series of troughs, their President Karimov has repeatedly taken the "Presidential Decree" since May 2006 The way to release the programmatic guidance plan for football reform, and put the "full development of football" into the development strategy of the whole country, this way of raising the strength of the whole country to develop football quickly achieved results, the history of later generations is exactly like this, the Chinese team in 2016 World Cup qualifiers is 0:2 to lose to the opponent, of course, the development of Uzbekistan football and Aleksanyan such an excellent youth coach is closely related.

These two experienced youth coaches gave Zhang Sheng a lot of advice, and their experience in actual training gave Zhang Sheng a lot of inspiration, especially in some training details, which made Zhang Sheng feel suddenly enlightened.

And Zhang Sheng also made arrangements for the two of them, under the strong advice of Heiko Fogel, Zhang Sheng arranged the two of them to the U9 and U13 echelons of Jiangcheng General School, and exchanged the two excellent coaches before the U9 and U13 echelons to the newly opened Huangshi branch, of course, this is also related to the fact that both of them are Huangshi people, this is also the first time that the Longteng Club has gone to the city to open a branch after experiencing the collective exodus of the coach, which means that the impact of the previous coaching incident on the Longteng Club has disappeared, and the expansion of the club's football school has started again.

After solving the summoning matter, Zhang Sheng flew to Dalian with the team and began to prepare for the Chinese Super League with Dalian Albin.

In the past few years, the local government owes as much as 1.2 billion funds to the company behind the club, the Albin Group, which has plunged Dalian Albin Club into an unprecedented economic crisis, and the players are owed as much as 11 months of wages.

At the same time, the Dalian Football Association fanned the flames in the back, forced Albin to acquire Shide, and shouted localization, supported Xu Hong to take the position, and forced away Stano.

Finally, due to some special reasons, the local sports bureau also turned its head to support the national ball, making the relationship between Dalian Albin and the current Chinese Football Association a mess.

So when the Longteng team and Dalian Albin played, you can see that they are playing weakly, although the Longteng team that flew from Jiangcheng is from afar, the situation on the field is obviously biased towards the Longteng team, even if the players of the Longteng team seem to have lost their shooting boots and repeatedly missed the opportunity to score, and finally relied on Ding Huaiyi's shot after the breakthrough to freeze the score at 0:1.

Dalian Albin, who lost again, are getting closer and closer to relegation, and if Zhang Sheng does not expect, they should be relegated to the Central League this season, as they have historically done.

Of course, there was a hidden danger in this victory, that is, Ben Arfa did not play well, he was in a very awkward state throughout the game, and Zhang Sheng had to replace him in the second half.

However, this round of the game once again broke out of the upset, known as the giant killer Changchun Yatai defeated Guangzhou Evergrande 2:1 at home, Longteng team not only retained the top position, and there is a 3-point gap between Evergrande and Evergrande, and even a lot of media began to hype Evergrande began to fall, and was pulled off the altar.

Zhang Sheng doesn't pay much attention to these words from the outside world, because he has already begun to prepare for the fifth round match against Qingdao Zhongneng in the FA Cup.

The Longteng team had met Qingdao Zhongneng in last year's FA Cup, Qingdao Zhongneng was still a Chinese Super League team at that time, because of the FA Cup rules of the Football Association, the Longteng team could only go to Qingdao to play away, and this time the situation was reversed, the Longteng team became the Chinese Super League team, and Qingdao Zhongneng became the Chinese A team, but because of the new game rules of the Football Association, the Longteng team could only go to Qingdao to play away, anyway, no matter what the situation, in short, the Longteng team suffered a loss.

Compared with last year's Qingdao Zhongneng, the current Qingdao Zhongneng is even worse, although they have wiped out Yatai and Greentown two Super League teams to advance to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup, but in the more important Chinese League The team is currently only ranked in the middle, although it has not completely lost the opportunity to play back to the Chinese Super League, but the team according to the current state, want to overtake is basically a fool's dream, and if there are no major changes, according to Zhang Sheng's memory, Qingdao Zhongneng will get worse and worse after that, and finally can only go to the second to mix.

First of all, the difficulties they encountered were because of Liu Jian's transfer case, which was deducted by the Football Association at the beginning of the game, and then several foreign aides they introduced, although they are all so-called internationals, but they are all marginal internationals in countries like Honduras and Costa Rica, or simply look for players from the foreign aid eliminated from the Super League, in terms of domestic aid, the introduction of Mao Jianqing's physical training is not systematic, when he once went to Beijing Baxi, but because Baxi could not get the transfer fee and was loaned to Qingdao Zhongneng, the result is that Qingdao is the final stage of winter training, missed the critical period of physical reserves, as for the other players, although they are a little famous, their strength is mediocre, compared to the big investment of those local tyrant teams in the Chinese League, they are far inferior.

In terms of coaches, Li Xiaopeng, who started the season, was sacked during the break and replaced with Slovenian U21 national team coach Tomaz Kavzic, whose coaching ability is really average.

In this game, Qingdao Zhongneng had all the main players who could play, and the Longteng team let several players who played the whole game rest, but Ben Alpha was arranged by Zhang Sheng to start again, and Zhang Sheng's intention was to let him hone his new style of play in the game.

Ben Alfa did not live up to Zhang Sheng's hopes, using his own pass in the first half to help Zou Weijia, who was about to be selected for the National Olympic team, open the scoring, and then Yu Bo took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to head in a header to make the score 0:2.

Although in the second half of the team by Zou Zheng pulled back a goal, but Lu Zhihui's header made a contribution to pull the score gap back to two goals, with Lu Zhihui's goal, the game was basically over, but what made Zhang Sheng angry was that Qingdao Zhongneng's players moved too much, so that Tao Wentao was injured and went down, and the Longteng team lost a powerful rotation player in the midfield.

After the game, Zhang Sheng didn't care much about the promotion of the FA Cup, but hurriedly went to the team doctor to ask about Tao Wentao's injury, fortunately, Tao Wentao's injury was not too serious, and it only took a month to come back, which made Zhang Sheng breathe a sigh of relief, and now the players of the team have to face the 3-line battle, no matter which player is injured, it is a great loss.

After two consecutive away games, the Longteng team flew back to Jiangcheng, this time the Longteng team faced the challenge of Shanghai Greenland, this game Zhang Sheng was very nerve-wracking, because the continuous flight made the players' physical fitness to a certain limit, and the national Olympic team's call-up list was officially determined, the Longteng team had as many as five players selected, and even Xiao Yunfan, who had been unwilling to be a person in the club, was also in the list, which made Zhang Sheng very sad.

In the end, under the persuasion of the Hubei Provincial Football Association, Zhang Sheng had to let go, because it was impossible for the club to fall out with the Chinese Football Association because of a player, and it was not easy to save the face of the Provincial Football Association.

Zhang Sheng can only lament that it is not easy in the Chinese club.

In the end, Zhang Sheng had to let Yan Xiaoyu and Ni Kai also enter the squad.

In the game, the impact of continuous travel and fatigue came out, many of the players looked very tired, whether it was passing or attacking, there was obviously a big gap with before, and what made Zhang Sheng even more unhappy was Ben Alpha's performance.

At the same time, Ben Alpha himself felt awkward. In the past, when the football fell at his feet, he didn't have to think about it at all, he rushed forward with the ball, met the opponent's interception, passed him, and if he felt that the situation was good, he would simply go to the dragon. If it's not good, play a trick and pass the ball out with your heels.

But now it doesn't work, Zhang Sheng has repeatedly asked him to change his style of play, and he has taken a big risk to insist on letting him start, and he has to consider Zhang Sheng's mood as a head coach.

The manager demanded that he must play the ball as soon as possible, which means that after he has the ball on the wing, he can either cut inside quickly to attract the attention of the opposing defenders. Pull out the space on the wing, then move the ball down the side to the left back who inserts it, and if the opponent's midfielder also comes to help the defense, it is handed over to the player in the middle to quickly organize the attack while the opponent's midfield is out of position.

This style of play is different from what he used to do, so he always has to pause when he gets the ball now, forcibly suppress the desire in his heart to show himself, and force himself to sink down and serve the whole team. It's really out of step with what he's used to play for so many years.

So he played awkwardly himself.

Sometimes when he remembers, he passes the ball to his teammates, and sometimes he can't remember it, and he rushes over with the ball. Thinking about it afterwards, he hurriedly looked to the sidelines, and sure enough, he saw Zhang Sheng shaking his head.

So next time, I repeatedly reminded myself to pay attention to the cooperation of the whole team and the running position of my teammates. But people are very strange creatures, when the more they care about something. Just do it worse.

When his team-mate passed the ball to Ben Arfa again, he simply stopped the ball wide......

Zhang Sheng couldn't help but sigh when he looked at Ben Alpha's performance, and then lowered his head, he couldn't bear to see it. He could see that Ben Alpha was also trying, but it was precisely because of this that he couldn't bear to watch it.

Because Ben Alpha works so hard, but habits are not so easy to change, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, Ben Alpha's problem is also this.

At the same time, the opponent of this game, Shanghai Shenhua, played well, and Sun Yu in the back position has completely integrated into Shenhua's team after more than half a season of running-in.

In the last game, they lost 0:3 at home to Beijing Guoan because of Sun Yu's yellow card absence, and the outside media agreed that if Sun Yu was on the field, Shenhua would be much better, which shows his importance to the team.

Sun Yu also has an advantage over the Longteng team is that he is very familiar with the Longteng team's style of play, knows some of the Longteng team's offensive skills, and can always use this to predict some of the Longteng team's passes, and has the possibility of interception in the midfield.

Even the commentator in charge of commenting the game kept praising him: "Sun Yu, the player of the Longteng team, really shouldn't let go, looking at his performance on the field, even if he can't play the main force in the Longteng team, it is more than enough to be an important rotation player." ”

At the same time, the commentary also questioned Zhang Sheng's insistence on using Ben Alpha: "The performance of Ben Alpha so far in this game has been a disaster, and I don't know why Coach Zhang Sheng insisted on using him." ”

At this time, Zhang Sheng was indeed thinking about whether to let Ben Alpha rest, his poor state In addition to the change in his playing style, it is estimated that there are continuous battle reasons, and his physical condition is not the best, he should rest and rest.

At the end of the first half, the Longteng team at home returned to the lounge with a score of 0:0, and at halftime, Zhang Sheng also made adjustments to the players, he first asked Ben Alpha about the situation, and Ben Alpha told Zhang Sheng very calmly that his fitness was indeed a little poor.

Zhang Sheng decisively replaced him with Bo, hoping that the team's attack would improve in the second half.
