Sometimes, it's just that weird.

In the last round of the Chinese Super League, the Longteng team played first, was unexpectedly injured, and the team drawn, giving Guangzhou Evergrande a super good chance to overtake, but in the end Evergrande got a point It was a fluke.

This time it was the turn of the Dragons.

Guangzhou Evergrande Gongti in the first round was lucky to take away a point, giving the Longteng team the opportunity to expand the points gap, and the team ushered in another draw.

The Longteng team fighting at home still has a very psychological advantage in the face of Shandong Luneng, at least on this field, the Longteng team maintains a winning record.

In fact, when it came to the game, the consequences of Dawn's absence were serious.

Lacking the height and physical strength of the defensive line like Liming, Luneng's high school striker Pelle unscrupulously ravaged the back line of the Longteng team, and Lu Zhihui and Lu Yangyang, the "old and young combination", could not withstand such an impact at all. At the beginning of the game, they were able to keep up with their bodies and fitness, and the defense could barely withstand it, but by the end of the game, Pelle's advantage in the air was too great.

The Longteng team relied on goals from Nie Jiang and Fernando to take the lead twice, but at the end of the second half, Luneng relied on Pelle's involvement and played high-quality attacks twice, and goals from Kim Kyung-do and Tardelli helped Luneng equalize twice.

Zhang Sheng on the sidelines was helpless, and the rest was helpless.

After the game, Zhang Sheng did not criticize anyone, after all, the player's attitude towards the game is fine, and it can only be seen whether unnecessary mistakes can be reduced after the defensive cooperation is gradually increased.

The game was a draw, and it was not without joy, at least the system upgrade that Zhang Sheng expected came as scheduled.

After opening the system, Zhang Sheng found that there was a + behind the experience: 3000500/3000000, and he couldn't wait for Zhang Sheng to go down.

"The system is being upgraded, please wait. The pleasant voice of the system girl sounded in Zhang Sheng's mind.

Five minutes later, the news of "system upgrade successful" came to Zhang Sheng's mind, and Zhang Sheng hurriedly opened the system, ready to take a closer look at the situation after this upgrade.

As with many real-life software, the first thing that catches your eye is Zhang Sheng's personal details this time.

Below the personal information is a description of the system update.

"After this upgrade, the summon system is now level 6. The types of summons include players, coaches, and club staff, with the summoned players being master-level players. “

From bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond to the current master, the system plagiarized Penguin's fist is a stone hammer. Just by being able to copy the "king of copying kings", this system is very powerful.

Next up is the new rules for earning points.

"After this upgrade, the difficulty of obtaining points has increased again. 20 points are added for a league win, no points are awarded for a draw, and 20 points are minus for a defeat. In the FA Cup, 20 points are awarded for defeating opponents of the same level, and 10 points are added for each league level lower (no negative points will occur), no points are awarded for a draw, and 20 points are deducted for losing to a team of the same level if you lose the game, and 10 points are deducted for each league level lower for a team that loses to a lower team. Winning streak in league and FA Cup matches has awarded 30 points five times, but the team has earned 20 points for each more win after breaking the club's all-time Super League winning streak. “

Regarding this integral rule, Zhang Sheng pouted.

It seems that the system is no longer interested in the league and the FA Cup, but the reality is that now the opponents are frantically adding super foreign players, and this time it is not as easy as before.

WDNMD, when it comes to increasing the difficulty, this difficulty has really increased a lot, and it depends on whether the points rules of the AFC Champions League can return some blood.

Soon, the rules of the AFC Champions League satisfied Zhang Sheng.

"After this upgrade. In the AFC Champions League, 20 points are awarded for a win in the group stage, 10 points are awarded for a draw, and 20 points are deducted for a loss. In the knockout stage, 30 points will be awarded for each win, and 10 points will be added for a draw, and no points will be deducted for failure. If the team advances, an additional 20 points will be awarded. If you win the championship, you will be awarded 100 points. “

Compared with the previous level of points in the AFC Champions League, the points for a single win are reduced, but with the addition of promotion points and championship points, the better the team's results, the final points will be doubled, and it seems that the system attaches great importance to the AFC Champions League.

The AFC Champions League can have such a point temptation, and it should be even more tempting to think of a higher-level Club World Cup. Sure enough, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but drool when he saw the points rules of the Club World Cup.

"After this upgrade. In the Club World Cup stage, 200 points will be awarded for each promotion, and no points will be deducted for losing, and if the Club World Cup can be won in the end, in addition to 200 points, there will be a super gift package. ”

As always, the system is still playing mystery, and in addition to the Club World Cup champions, the rewards for various stage achievements and championships are also in the form of gift packs.

"After this upgrade. If a team qualifies for the AFC Champions League (non-FA Cup winners), they will receive a call-up (players with a slightly higher level than points), if they win the league, they will receive a mystery package, if they win the FA Cup, they will also receive a mystery package, and if they win the AFC Champions League, a mystery package will appear. ”

After the points earning rules, there are the calling rules for players, coaches and staff.

"After this upgrade. Players summoned with points have at least 105 potential. Coaches are summoned with at least the potential to be at an elite level, and club staff are at the same level as coaches. But the system owner has the right to summon better people with more points. Summoners may not have more than 400 points. “

"On the player side, for every 50 additional points consumed, the potential value of the call-up player will increase by 1 point, up to a maximum of 109. ”

Seeing such a description, Zhang Sheng understood why the system was so stingy in the granting of points.

Take the player with 109 potential value as an example, this is a player who can play the main team in the Europa League, with his various potential pills, the upper limit of potential value can be increased to about 120 in minutes, and if all the potential value of the player at this level is redeemed, any giant team can occupy a place.

Finally, there is the description of the summoner.

"After this upgrade. Players are between the ages of 16 and 25 and have random positions on the field. Coaches are over 24 years old, the system owner can specify the type of coach, and the club staff is the same as the coach. ”

Unlike the players who were able to choose the position they wanted before, this random is now a fool.

Zhang Sheng had to call the system girl to come out and take care of it: "The random position of the player is too arbitrary." When I'm short of strikers, you give me a couple of goalkeepers in a row, so what should I do?"

The system girl had an expression of hatred: "Have you done all these years of youth training in vain? I don't believe that you have cultivated tens of thousands of youth players, and you can't even find a striker." What's more, you also have a player stat/potential scanning function, as long as you are willing to pay attention to excellent players, you will definitely get a reward. ”

"Yes. Zhang Sheng had to admit that what the system girl said was very reasonable, and he couldn't refute it at all, however, what should be fought for, he still had to fight for it, "Okay." I won't talk about that. I understand the reasoning, but why did I have 180 points before I upgraded, and now I only have 90 points?"

"Isn't it the first time you've used the system?Won't you take the initiative to use up your points before upgrading?" the system girl complained, "Because of the upgrade of the system, your previous points are now converted into half of the upgrade." Now give you a chance, these 90 points, you can choose not to, the system will help you change to a super potential pill, or two random accelerators. ”

After some consideration, Zhang Sheng still chose to keep the points, after all, it is difficult to get the points after the upgrade.

After reconfirming all the rules after the upgrade, Zhang Sheng exited the system.

"It's not going to be easy to live in the future. Zhang Sheng sighed.

The difficulty of obtaining points increases, the favorite player has to fight for European gas, and the experience required by the system to upgrade again is even more terrifying - it takes a full 10 million, in addition to the experience, the system also requires that you must win the AFC Champions League once during this level, which is really difficult, and it is difficult for strong people.

"It's always good to be upgraded. Judging by the previous situation, the players in the package may have better players. This is Zhang Sheng's final thought after the system upgrade.

Zhang Sheng, who is obsessed with the system, has no time to take care of it, but Paulinho's transfer farce continues.

On July 10, at the semi-annual summary meeting of Guangzhou Evergrande, Evergrande boss Xu Jiaying said that the club attaches great importance to Barcelona's offer of Paulinho, "I and the club understand and support Paulinho's desire to play in the best club in the world, but it is currently the sprint period of Evergrande's season, so everything can only be negotiated after the end of the season." ”

Boss Xu's refusal to let Paulinho go in the summer window was very clear.

In response to Boss Xu, Barcelona made another offer the next day, with Barcelona's second offer adding a floating clause of 5 million euros.

Barça president Bartomeu personally wrote to Liu Yongzhuo, officially expressing his bid to buy Paulinho. This time they offered a price of €500,000 to €5 million on top of the first €20 million offer (instalments) with an additional clause (depending on player appearances and the team's season results).

This time, Evergrande once again decisively refused.

Barcelona, on the other hand, stepped up their attack, and the next day they quoted a transfer fee of 2,500 euros plus a floating bonus of 2 million euros.

At the same time, Paulinho, the player in question, also officially spoke out and expressed his thoughts of leaving the team to the Brazilian media.

Obviously, Barcelona are going to do both.

Evergrande was very tough and quickly rejected Barcelona's offer again, and the latter also died down temporarily.

Paulinho's transfer is vigorous, in fact, this year's transfer in the summer window of the Chinese Super League is completely different from previous years.

The high adjustment fee and luxury tax are not only making the club financially unaffordable, they are more worried about what will be behind the new transfer rules, and who knows if there is the will of some big man in it.

Except for Tianjin Quanjian, who claimed that he was afraid that players didn't love money and spent money recklessly, most of the other teams were like Guoan, controlling player transfers within 30 million yuan, or slightly exceeding, symbolically making up some money to the Football Association.

From the opening of the summer window to the present, the hot transfer market in previous years has quieted down.

Last summer, Hulk's €55.8 million bid to join Shanghai SIPG was completed, and Guangzhou Evergrande spent £53 million for Diego Costa to let SIPG's bid win come to home. In the end, the Chinese Super League team spent nearly 200 million euros in that summer window.

And now, the 2017 Chinese Super League summer transfer period is about to end in one week, and the cost of all Chinese Super League teams is less than 300 million yuan.

What kind of loan joining, players joining the account, installments, everyone is running under the rules.

As an insider, especially in Evergrande, who has a lot of friends, Zhang Sheng knows that Evergrande's treatment of Paulinho's transfer is definitely not as tough as in the news media, after all, Paulinho has a termination clause of 40 million euros, and for the world's top club like Barcelona, 40 million is a drizzle.

Whether Barcelona buys Paulinho or not depends entirely on the attitude of coach Valverde, his attitude is a little more resolute, 40 million to buy Paulinho is also to buy a team rotation substitute, it is not a matter at all.

Therefore, Evergrande is doing Paulinho's ideological work on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is casting a net in Europe and South America on a large scale, looking for possible replacements.

Considering the financial resources of Guangzhou Evergrande, there are a lot of rumors of foreign aid.

At the beginning, someone mentioned Bayern, who had been in contact with Evergrande, in view of Kimmich's recent poor performance, all the brains were used to such a player, of course, this later proved that it was the fans themselves in YY.

Next up is Belgian defender Nainggolan, who now plays for Roma in Serie A.

Although Belgian, Nainggolan is of Asian descent – his father is Indonesian, a "bad boy" who smokes, drinks, gets tattoos, and burns his hair. But as a player in his own right, his ability is outstanding enough. In the season just ended, as a top B2B midfielder, the Serie A statistics of 14 goals and 7 assists are very eye-catching.

With his iconic mohican head, he has the potential to replace Paulinho.

The only thing worrying is his whopping 50 million euros, which is even more terrifying according to the new rules of the Football Association and the luxury tax.

Evergrande will not pay such a high price.
