28. The effect of studying abroad
If Zhang Sheng heard Shao Shengyi's summary, he would definitely refute it on the spot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
An attacking player, if he can score a goal in ten attacks in a game, then the last thing people remember is definitely his performance when he scores, and a defender, especially in the position of central defender, let alone ten mistakes, one mistake can ruin the victory of a game, once they make a mistake, the fans will always only say that who pit a game at the beginning.
In this game, Nie Jiang, as a rookie player, missed a lot of good opportunities, but one of his goals made everyone forget about his wasted opportunities.
On the other hand, Du Zhenyu, he actually performed on the passing line most of the time, but unfortunately the goal caused by a mistake made everyone remember the mistake he made. And Du Zhenyu is not the kind of defender with good skills at his feet, unable to organize attacks on the back line, unable to have frequent opportunities to touch the ball, his characteristics can only make him a blue-collar player who does dirty work and tiring work at central defender.
So people will always only see his embarrassed performance.
A central defender like Du Zhenyu often grows up very bumpy.
Maybe they'll be pushed to centre-back at some point and then barely live up to the manager's requirements, and once they're allowed to start the whole game from the start, mistakes in the game are necessary.
Most of the people who awaited them after the mistakes were driven to the bench, and then honed through training, and spent the first half of their careers through the cycle of play-turnover-substitute-play-and mistakes again, until they dug countless holes for themselves, and then got up from countless pits, and then through a lot of lessons to sit in the position of the main central defender.
Du Zhenyu doesn't have much pressure now, and he has to thank Zhang Sheng, after all, Zhang Sheng is a system plus, and he has a golden finger item like a high-level player growth accelerator for him to use, so that he can remember his mistakes faster, correct his mistakes, and speed up their growth.
Being able to provide a good environment for the growth of these players is what Zhang Sheng wants to do.
After the game, Zhang Sheng found Du Zhenyu again, which was also the third time Zhang Sheng had a separate conversation with him, for which Du Zhenyu was also very surprised, after all, such a situation rarely happens in the team.
In the conversation, Zhang Sheng once again expressed his recognition of Du Zhenyu's performance: "This is the AFC Champions League. The game was far more difficult than any previous Super League match. But you still held on, I don't blame you for losing the ball, his physical fitness is indeed better than yours, and the black and hard striker is not so good at completely preventing death. Keep working hard in the next game, and I'll let you start again!"
After listening to Zhang Sheng's words, Du Zhenyu was very moved, a coach can trust him so much, he should repay him with the best state.
In the weekend's game, Du Zhenyu still appeared in the starting central defender position, as if the goals conceded by his two mistakes in the previous game did not exist, Zhang Sheng still gave him enough trust.
In this ordinary league against Changchun Yatai, because of Du Zhenyu's play, there are enough topics. In addition to Zhang Sheng's trust in him, there is also a reason that Changchun Yatai also has a player named Du Zhenyu on the field, everyone wants to see the confrontation between two players with the same name and surname, and Changchun Yatai's Du Zhenyu is still playing an offensive position, and it is very likely to be in the opposite position with the Longteng team.
As a player who led Changchun Yatai to win the Chinese Super League championship with the "Zhendong Combination" (Du Zhenyu and Wang Dong), won the Chinese Footballer of the Year that year, and was also the torchbearer of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, his strength is beyond doubt.
In this game, he also showed a high level of skill, and in the 32nd minute of the first half, he gave Du Zhenyu a lesson in a forward anti-offside position in the midfield.
Xiao Du Zhenyu, who did not form a tacit understanding with other players of the Longteng team, gave the old Du Zhenyu a chance, and the other side formed a single knife for him to pick the ball without pausing after receiving the ball, and then shot directly in the air, so that Zhou Wei could not save, and the score became 1:0, and the Longteng team fell behind in the away game.
In this game, the Longteng team did not play very well as a whole, as last year, Changchun Yatai's rotten field had a great impact on the Longteng team's ground passing, and the Longteng team's many short passes were not very accurate for this reason, and the speed of the attack could not be played.
It wasn't until the second half that the Dragons relied on Ben Arfa, who had come on as a minor injury, to equalise with a long-range shot.
In the next game, Changchun Yatai defended all the way, and the attack of the Longteng team was also very average, and the final score ended with 1:1.
The Longteng team still failed to win in Changchun, and Changchun Yatai once again became the bitter master of the Longteng team.
After the game, Du Zhenyu's performance was criticized by everyone, and the loss of the ball after being thrown away by his predecessor with the same name and surname with a beautiful move became a topic of ridicule for countless media and fans.
However, Zhang Sheng saw improvement from Du Zhenyu's performance, and he rarely made any other mistakes in the whole game except for the anti-offside failure.
Especially against the onslaught of two foreign strikers with their own characteristics, such as Moreno and Matsu, he maintained a high defensive level, and against these two strikers, who were mainly technical and physical, he stood firmly in his position and did not give them few opportunities.
This proves that he is no longer the centre-back who feeds purely on his body.
After this game, although the Longteng team was forced to draw away, but with Evergrande being forced to draw at home, Beijing Guoan was defeated away again, and the Longteng team still led the standings with 17 points.
As the only team in the league that has not lost so far, the Longteng team has already demonstrated the strength of being superior in the Chinese Super League.
Although Du Zhenyu's growth made Zhang Sheng very pleased, now the team's shortcomings in the center back still make Zhang Sheng a little jealous, after this game, the summoning points reached 130 points can also allow Zhang Sheng to call players again, he naturally chose to call the center back.
Soon the system also gave two players a choice:
"A standard central defender, who can reach a height of 1.87 meters, can not only resist the opponent's high-altitude bombardment, but also will not be too tall to cause speed. In the same way, his abilities in all aspects are as moderate as his physical condition. However, this player is also too average to have any characteristics. You can't expect him to be a leader at centre-back, you can only watch him develop into a role player. But every team needs someone like that, doesn't it?" Stats/Potentials: 50/95.
'It's a comeback-up centre-back. He has super explosiveness, and he also has a muscle type that is rare in yellow people, and he has an incredible height of bounce. With him in the backline, we are no longer afraid of strikers who run faster than Western journalists. Of course, his shortcomings are also very obvious, he is only 1.73 meters tall. This height, even with his amazing bounce, is a disadvantage against those tall centers, and even worse in terms of weight. It depends on whether your team's tactics need him or not. "Ability/Potential: 50/95.
Seeing these two players, Zhang Sheng was really difficult to choose.
The first player is indeed the kind that all teams need, but in their general growth process is very long, maybe Zhang Sheng will need to wait 4-5 years to take shape after he is called, which is really a bit unacceptable for Zhang Sheng, who is in a hurry.
The second defender is really strong in his ability to chase back, but he has a fatal weakness, that is, he is too short.
In the tactics after Zhang Sheng, the team must move forward as a whole in the back line, and the high position is the main one, so it is necessary to have a chasing back center back in the central defender, and the current Ma Yongli is of this type, but it is a low-profile version - his speed is not fast enough.
Seeing the height of the second player, Zhang Sheng thought of Inter Milan's former vice-captain - Cordoba, this call-up player is obviously his low-profile version, but I don't know what attributes his low-profile matches to.
In the end, Zhang Sheng still did not resist the temptation of the second player, and Ma Yongli did need a reserve player of the same type, so he chose the second player after a period of hesitation.
Just the day before the start of the next league game, Zhang Sheng accepted the player, and the arrival of this player was somewhat dramatic.
The player, Lu Yangyang, is not the player that the Longteng team focuses on, but his teammates have been under the attention of the Longteng team's scouts.
He and his teammates are all from Jiangjiang Province, and Longteng Football School has been digging out young talents in this province since it opened a branch in Jiangjiang Province, among which the players of the famous porcelain city echelon team in Jiangjiang Province have attracted the attention of Longteng team scouts.
In fact, the object of scouts is not Lu Yangyang, but the main striker of this echelon, and Lu Yangyang is the substitute striker of this city echelon.
Because of Lu Yangyang's extremely fast speed and amazing bounce, he has always been a former striker of the domestic coach who values his body, and he did rely on his unusual physical fitness to play well on the forward line in the early days.
But with the growth of youth, his shooting ability is still no progress, and even his height has not risen high, he developed very early at the age of thirteen with 1.7 meters, and now he is almost 16 years old, or only 1.73 meters.
He has gradually moved from the position of the main striker to the substitute striker, and now he has become the substitute of the substitute.
With the signing of the rules of the professional players of the Chinese Football Association at the end of last year, he was born on May 9, 1999 and is about to reach the threshold of 16 years old, but it is obvious that the city echelon does not want to promote him to the echelon of a higher age group, and no professional team has come to him to sign a contract.
Whether to continue playing football and how to choose has become a difficult problem for him and his family.
Unlike his parents, who wanted to give up, the stubborn Lu Yangyang did not want to end his career as a player just like this, and he proposed to try it at the main campus of Longteng Football School, which is now a large part of China's young mecca who are interested in football.
Under his repeated requests, his parents agreed to his request, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of one of his long-cherished wishes.
In the trial of Longteng Football School, he proposed to play as a striker, and he completely failed in the trial, and no one wanted a striker with average physical confrontation and poor shooting level.
However, Liu Lin, the coach of the U15 echelon of the football school, obviously has his own opinions, he found that Lu Yangyang has a very strong ability to chase back in the game, and he does not perform well in the forward position, often chasing the opponent's defenders and backs, and he almost succeeded several times.
So Liu Lin didn't drive him away, but let him play a central defender trial to see, and sure enough, in this trial, his super fast recovery ability wiped the butts of those teammates who only wanted to score forward in the trial.
Liu Lin found out that he was a piece of jade, but he was buried by a domestic coach who was not of a high level before.
When Liu Lin reported this matter to Zhang Sheng, Zhang Sheng knew that Lu Yangyang should be the player he summoned this time.
For this reason, Zhang Sheng also praised Liu Lin: "I went to Germany to study for more than a year, and it really has an effect." Being able to observe the characteristics of a player so keenly and put him where he should be playing. Your ability is definitely at the level of the top youth coaches in China. ā
Liu Lin said with a smile: "You came to squeeze me again." When it comes to youth training ability, who can compare to you. ā
Zhang Sheng nodded shamelessly and said, "That's right." ā
Liu Lin rolled his eyes and said, "You said you were fat, and you were still panting." I don't know how humble I am. ā
Liu Lin's words also made Zhang Sheng laugh: "We are each other. ā
"But then again, I also think this player is really good at playing at centre-back, and the follow-up centre-backs are less likely to play now, but I need to play better in the future. Now put it in your echelon, and you can help me cultivate it. Zhang Sheng quickly changed his words and explained sincerely.
"Of course. Liu Lin also said seriously, "It's rare for me to dig up a good seedling, if I don't bring it out well, wouldn't it be a waste of the vision of the two of us." You can rest assured, I will definitely train him to be China's first chasing central defender. In the future, if you say it, you can count it as a player that I brought out. ā
Zhang Sheng was also relieved to pat Liu Lin on the shoulder and said, "Then please leave it to you." ā
After leaving Liu Lin, Zhang Sheng was very happy, not only because he had called a good player again, but also because he was excited about the improvement of Liu Lin's current level as a youth coach.
At the beginning, he spent a lot of money to send Liu Lin and his group of domestic coaches to Germany for further study, and many outsiders thought that this was a gilded trip to Longteng Football School, so as to gain a good reputation for Longteng Football School to recruit people in the future.
But now Liu Lin has proved with his own practical actions that as long as he is really interested in youth training, further study is still very effective.
I insisted on sending coaches to Europe for further study in the football school, and I must keep it, maybe one day there will be another Zhang Lin or Li Lin to dig out a good player for Chinese football!
