114. End of Season Summoning

Suddenly, the voice from the side pulled Zhang Sheng back to the real world, it turned out that the players of the Longteng team completely surrounded Zhang Sheng, and heard Yu Bo, a player who likes to make trouble, shouting: "We will throw the boss up!"

Zhang Sheng said in a panic: "Don't attack the head coach." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Before Zhang Sheng could finish speaking, the players rushed up to lift Zhang Sheng, and then threw Zhang Sheng into the air, and then Zhang Sheng heard someone shouting below: "Everyone run!"

Hearing this shout, Zhang Sheng panicked, if there is no one below, he will fall down, and his butt will not be broken into eight petals! Zhang Sheng hurriedly shouted: "I see who runs, whoever runs will train with me for three months!"

When Zhang Sheng finished shouting, he found that he had been caught by the players, and then the players laughed. Only then did Zhang Sheng realize that he was being played by the players.

After the angry Zhang Sheng stood firm, he began to look for Yu Bo, the initiator, but unfortunately Yu Bo had already scattered with the players and ran away, playing with each other while running. Seeing this group of children who were just about 20 years old, Zhang Sheng's anger disappeared, after all, they were still children.

Seeing these players celebrating wildly on the field, Zhang Sheng also smiled with relief.

Next, Zhang Sheng and the crazy enough players accepted the FA Cup championship trophy awarded by the Football Association at the stadium, and Wei Di, vice chairman of the Football Association, said when presenting the medal to Zhang Sheng: "Congratulations! You have done a very good job, continue to work hard." ”

Zhang Sheng replied politely: "Thank you! We will do better in the future!" Then Zhang Sheng and captain Deng Chaoqun raised the trophy of the FA Cup high and shouted: "We are the champions!"

After winning the championship, Zhang Sheng did not let the team stay on the field for too long, after all, this is the home of someone else's Guizhou people, and if it is too high-profile, it will definitely cause the home team to be unhappy, and there is no need to block others to make enemies.

After returning to the hotel, Zhang Sheng received countless phone calls, the first call he received was from his father, obviously for the champion of the Longteng team, his father attached great importance to it, Zhang Zhijun said on the phone: "Zhang Sheng, do a good job! This championship is really rare! Today, the city leaders and the province have called me, which is considered to give me a long face." We'll have a good talk when we get back. ”

Hearing his father's words, Zhang Sheng knew that maybe things were not so simple, and something big should happen.

The next thing is the phone call made by the club, Ding Kun, as the general manager of the club, is usually very low-key, but this time he is very excited: "Coach Zhang." Just now, the district and the city have called, asking us when we will have a celebration party after returning to Jiangcheng, and we must invite them over when the time comes, and then a lot of media have come to apply for interviews, and the people in the club are very happy, just waiting for you to come back. ”

Zhang Sheng smiled: "That's a good dare." When the leaders come, we can make more demands! ”

There were a lot of calls from other clubs, calls from long-term media reporters, and calls from former Magic Water teammates. Among them, Li Gang's phone call lasted the longest, after celebrating Zhang Sheng's championship at the beginning, Li Gang asked Zhang Sheng about Deng Chaoqun and Gao Jun's situation, Zhang Sheng couldn't help laughing: "I also said that you are so kind to make a phone call to congratulate me on winning the FA Cup, it turns out that you Evergrande is eyeing my players!"

Li Gang said with a smile: "I am also a matter of eating the king and being loyal to the king." That's what I asked, it's your business whether you want to let go or not, but the ability of your team's main striker and main back is really good, and it's young, it's probably hard for you to let go!"

Zhang Sheng scolded with a smile: "You still ask if you know it's difficult." I don't think you're at ease, it's impossible for me to let go of these two players, so I'll die of this heart. ”

Li Gang hung up the phone after chatting with Zhang Sheng for a few more words, Zhang Sheng thought of Evergrande's ability to poach people, he was still a little afraid, after all, Evergrande's ability to poach people over the years was too strong, and he had to tighten the fence at any time to guard against it.

The next day, Zhang Sheng returned to Jiangcheng with the team, and in the face of the Longteng team who came back with the championship, the fans spontaneously came to the door of the club to welcome the arrival of the team.

Because of the regulations on domestic laws on assemblies and parades, as well as the pressure of local governments to maintain stability, there is basically no parade of winning floats similar to those in foreign countries. Even if there are similar float parades, they are only held in the stadium, such as Evergrande in 2013 after winning the AFC Champions League, there was a parade in Tianhe Stadium, and in 2015, after Evergrande won the AFC Champions League again, it still held a parade in Tianhe Stadium, but in any case, these parades are in a small space, within a controllable range.

In fact, the Longteng Club also submitted a request to the Jiangcheng City Government for the float parade, but unfortunately the Jiangcheng City Government rejected the application of the Longteng Club after discussion, and suggested that the Longteng team should be held in its own home stadium. But in the end, because the space of the Wuchang District Stadium was too small and it was inconvenient to parade, Zhang Sheng simply canceled all the parade plans.

On the second day after returning to Jiangcheng, the Longteng Club held a championship ceremony internally, and after the championship ceremony, Zhang Sheng began to do everyone's favorite thing - send money.

According to the club's previous reward regulations, the Dragons will give 500w in prize money to reward the players who won the FA Cup. Through the distribution ratio set by the club before the season, players who perform well will receive a reward of more than 10w, even if they are substitute players, they can also get a reward of more than 10,000 yuan, which is very good for these players who can get such money by playing less than 10 games.

After the bonus was paid, the club officially went on vacation, and the players who had worked hard all year ago were given a rare month of rest.

After all the players left, Zhang Sheng began to make the final call-up of the season.

In this period of competition, the Dragons only got 60 points in the league, plus a draw in the FA Cup, it was only 10 points, so it was not enough to call up players, but they won 3 games in the semi-finals and finals of the FA Cup. In this way, Zhang Sheng can summon 3 players out.

Now the team can be said to have a lot of manpower in various positions, so Zhang Sheng decided to call up players aged 15-17 to supplement the team's reserve strength.

First of all, Zhang Sheng summoned the striker, because in this position, with Nie Jiang's ability, he would have to go to Liuyang sooner or later. And once Nie Jiang is not there, with the strength of Deng Chaoqun and Wen Kai, among the local forwards, it is about the same level as the current national team forwards, and in order to cultivate talents for the future forward line of the national team, Zhang Sheng feels that he is still obliged to summon a striker.

Because the current Chinese Super League teams are all piling up foreign players in order to get good results, and the most serious is in the position of striker.

In the early days, the main characteristics of the national football striker were fast speed and strong ability to grasp opportunities in front of goal, like Hao Haidong, who was once known as the first striker in Asia, who held the Chinese national team's goal record with 37 goals, which has not been broken so far. After Hao Haidong, Li Jinyu inherited the fine tradition of the national football striker, he scored 25 goals in the national team, only one goal less than Su Maozhen, ranking third in the national football scorer list. However, Li Jinyu has performed better in the league, with an unbeatable total of 119 league goals.

And now the front line of the national team is Gao Lin, Wu Lei, Yang Xu, and a few of them. Gao Lin will not say, the famous Gao Plane, his shooting in addition to a strong volley or a strong volley, in the volley with higher requirements for footwork compared to the way to break the goal like cushion shooting, picking, pushing, etc., the possibility of mistakes is naturally greater, so the probability of "jerking off" is naturally greater, and this is the biggest shackle that affects Gao Lin has never been able to become the top scorer in Chinese football.

Wu Lei, on the other hand, has speed and skill, but unfortunately his weak physical fitness makes him not too useful in positional warfare, and he is suitable for a quick counterattack when he suddenly inserts himself from the back row.

As for Yang Xu, needless to say, he specializes in scoring difficult balls, and he "disdains" to score low-difficulty balls, in the final analysis, his shooting skills are too poor.

There are many reasons for this, since the professional league, clubs have paid more attention to results than ever before, and the fear of relegation has made the vast majority of teams play conservatively, even if it is a team with the ability to win the championship, the primary criterion for judging players is defense. There is no problem in requiring a player to develop in an all-round way, but overemphasizing the non-professional side is bound to "promote the growth of seedlings" and affect the performance of the team's strengths. Nowadays, almost all teams will require strikers to participate in defense, which makes the development of forwards more slow.

Secondly, as the level of foreign aid is getting higher and higher, it is difficult for domestic strikers to get ahead, and the scorer list is the best proof of this. In the first few seasons of Chinese football's professionalization, the league's golden boot has been dominated by local goalscorers, and Hao Haidong won the title of top scorer in 1997 and 1998. Until 2000, the top spot in the scorer list was snatched by Paraguayan foreign aid Cassiano, and the next three years of the A-League Golden Boot were won by Hao Haidong, Li Jinyu and Li Yi.

However, since Chinese football entered the Chinese Super League era in 2004, foreign aid began to emerge, Ayew and Yelic won the Golden Boot in the first two seasons, and in the following two years, Li Jinyu's form reached its peak, and he also became the second striker after Hao Haidong to win the Golden Boot in a row. Since 2008, foreign players have taken the top spot in the scorer list every season, and Chinese players have never won this honor again.

And every year, the foreign aid lineup is getting stronger and stronger, and the gap between domestic shooters and them is further widened. We often see in the scorer list that basically foreign shooters take the top three, and it is difficult to see local shooters in the top ten. For example, in the 2012 season, the top ten scorers were all foreign aids; in the 2013 season, it was rare to have Wu Lei, Zhang Xizhe, and Wang Yongpo ranked in the top ten, but the top three were still occupied by foreign aid; and in the 2014 season, only Wu Lei was ranked in the top ten of the scorer list, which shows how scarce China's good strikers have been.
