20. From domestic to foreign

As for the team's defense, Zhang Sheng is not very worried, although Zhou Hai, Wang Peng and Xu Di have left the team before the season, but in the backline, the talent pool of the Longteng team is still very good. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Wang Peng was gradually reduced to a substitute in the latter part of last season, and Zhou Hai basically had a rare opportunity to play.

In the position of central defenders, McGovern and Ma Yongli, one is super stable defensively, the other is very good in addition to defense, and even has a very good ability to play forward and even attack forward, and in the two fullbacks, Zhou Zhou on the left and Shu Jun on the right have been verified by countless games, and the strength is not to say.

In the substitute position, the Longteng team has players like Lu Zhihui who are almost the same as the main team in the central defender, as well as excellent young substitutes like Du Zhenyu. In terms of fullbacks, in addition to Lu Zhihui, who can play left and right, Xiao Yunfan's ability is also on par with the main players, he is even stronger than Shu Jun's potential, and he is also a player who can play left and right. Young full-backs like Wei Zhimin need to play to gain experience.

What really makes Zhang Sheng a little bottomless is in the goalkeeper position. Xu Di's departure can be said to have caught Zhang Sheng off guard, although Zhou Wei is higher than Xu Di in terms of the index ability of the system, but the position of goalkeeper is not only based on the ability index, experience is the most important thing for the goalkeeper. And Xu Di's game experience is far from being comparable to Zhou Wei, Xu Di has been playing high-level games, while Zhou Wei is mostly playing as a substitute.

As for the position of the goalkeeper substitute, the Longteng team is even more unavailable, one of the two substitute goalkeepers is a goalkeeper who has just been promoted from the U17 echelon to the U19 echelon, and the ability and experience are completely insufficient;

If the Longteng team wants to have good players in the goalkeeper, they must wait until Huang Dawei grows up, but the waiting time is long, at least two or three years, Zhang Sheng can only pray that Zhou Wei can quickly enter the state of the game this season, and at the same time ensure that there is no injury trouble, otherwise it will be a real problem.

During Zhang Sheng's training camp in China, the main task is to adapt several players who have entered the main squad to the team's tactics, let several substitutes accumulate playing experience, and at the same time strengthen the physical reserves of the players to prepare for the upcoming season.

In the two-week domestic training camp, except for the first week, the Longteng team focused on physical recovery. In the second week, the Longteng team began to look for the team to train for warm-up matches.

The first opponent, the Longteng team in order to adapt to the physical condition, is looking for a training camp in the second team, before the game Longteng team and the other party has negotiated, both sides try to use some hurtful actions, in order to recover the body. Therefore, the game was also played more openly, and the players also played more relaxed, and the final score was fixed at 5:1, and the goal conceded by the Longteng team was the goal conceded by Zhou Wei's lack of concentration.

Two days later, the Longteng team began to find the Chinese League and the Chinese Super League team to warm up, the confrontation of the game began to be greatly strengthened, the Longteng team also slowly began to enter the rhythm of the game, the Longteng team in 5 days in a row and Dalian Albin and Henan Jianye conducted two warm-up matches, everyone agreed that there is no limit to the number of substitute players, so in the first half everyone is the main force after the fight, in the second half of both sides are a large number of substitutions, basically the whole field of players are replaced until the only player in the Longteng team is Zhou Wei, Zhang Sheng wants him to accumulate more game experience。

In these two games, the Longteng team is one win and one draw, but the most problematic in these two games is the back line with the least personnel changes, mainly because the goalkeeper and the players in the back line are too unfamiliar with each other, fortunately, the players in the back line are strong enough and can often recover mistakes through their own abilities, while Zhou Wei is obviously a little too excited, often recklessly attacking, or trying to rush to get the ball and teammates lead to coordination mistakes.

Faced with Zhou Wei's impulsive question, as the team's goalkeeper coach, in the face of Zhang Sheng's question, Tafarel had another way to say: "Although the stability of a goalkeeper is the most important, passion is also indispensable. Zhou Wei is only an 18-year-old kid now, and if he doesn't show his passion right now, it would be too abnormal, and the question now is how to translate his passion into his ability to play, not the impulse in the game. Of course, this is also my responsibility as a goalkeeper coach. ”

Faced with the problem of Zhou Wei's impulsiveness in the game, Tafarel gave his own training method, and he began to train Zhou Wei a lot of irregular ball saves. He used the irregular ball machine purchased by the club to run the irregular ball to train Zhou Wei's reflexes, and then used a lot of bouncing shots to let Zhou Wei judge the trajectory of the ball, and Zhou Wei shot at him from the other direction when he was facing in one direction.

At the same time, Tafarel also taught Zhou Wei some ways to regulate his emotions in the game, that is, shouting and yelling more on the field, and reminding his teammates more when his teammates make defensive mistakes, and not caring that he is a young player. Many young goalkeepers are always because they are young players and have no confidence on the field, and they dare not shout at the big brothers in front of them, resulting in many times they can only hold their own danger caused by the mistakes of their teammates, and want to spill this breath at other times, which will lead to some impulsive attacks.

Of course, when shouting your teammates, don't forget to applaud your teammates more, and when your teammates have a wonderful performance, you must praise them, otherwise if you only blame and don't praise, you will have a big conflict with your teammates.

Tafarel explained to Zhang Sheng very clearly: "Zhou Wei is a very passionate player. In the face of such a player, we must not suppress his nature, and when he is on the field, we must give him a channel to vent, so we must help him choose a good channel, and we must not let him vent his emotions where he should not be. However, I would like to make an opinion, that is, whether the distance between the back line and Zhou Wei can be a little farther away. ”

Zhang Sheng was a little puzzled: "Far away? Now that Zhou Wei has made so many mistakes, if the guard line is further away from him, it will make it difficult for the players in the back line to help him." ”

Tafarel shook his head and said: "Now Zhou Wei and his teammates in the back line actually don't have a good tacit understanding, and getting close doesn't help much, but it will make Zhou Wei make more mistakes - grabbing the ball with his teammates." For such a passionate and confident player, it is only when he has the ball in his hands that he can be reassured. At the same time, according to Zhou Wei's character, I hope to train him to be a scavenger-type goalkeeper, that is, a goalkeeper similar to Neuer and Courtois, which is also the general trend of goalkeeper development now. ”

In the face of Tafarel's explanation, Zhang Sheng decided to trust the professional judgment of professionals and let Tafarel decide how to train Zhou Wei.

After completing the two-week training camp, China's traditional festival - the Spring Festival has also arrived, the team also gave the players a holiday, several foreign players were also invited by Zhang Sheng to have a big meal, but also introduced them to the meaning of the Spring Festival, several foreign aid is obviously Zhang Sheng invited them to eat during the Spring Festival A little flattered, the head coach is afraid that he will be lonely alone in the festival, and he also takes time to come out to invite himself to eat on the day of family reunion, which shows the sincerity of the head coach.

After Zhang Sheng invited several foreign aids, he also hurriedly returned home to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with his family, this Spring Festival is also Zhang Sheng's first Spring Festival with a child, Zhang Sheng's mother specially wrapped a big red envelope for his little grandson - a store in the most prosperous pedestrian street in Jiangcheng, of course, this can only be taken over after he grows up, and now he can only let Zhang Sheng and Ye Ting help him save his annual income first.

After three days off from the holidays, the Dragons players are back together as the team will immediately fly to Lisbon, Portugal for an overseas training camp.

This time, the Longteng team has already contacted five warm-up games before going to Portugal, namely the RB Leipzig team that is about to end the winter break, the Red Bull Salzburg team that has just ended the winter break player holiday, the Sporting Lisbon B team that has entered the competition period, and the Porto B team and Ajax II team introduced by the current manager of the Chinese youth echelon Rick Link.

At this time, it can reflect the expansion of Zhang Sheng's relationship with the club in recent years through his contacts in Europe.

The two Red Bull teams have crossed paths with Zhang Sheng before, and later cooperated, and Sporting Lisbon is also because of the transfer of players trained by Zhang Sheng, as for Porto B and Ajax II, it is a good personal relationship between Zhang Sheng and Rick Link, and such a warm-up match is far more effective than a warm-up match with a team that meets casually at the training site.

This time, after the Longteng team arrived in Lisbon, they directly stayed in the hotel near the training base of Sporting Lisbon, the training base of Sporting Lisbon is located in the Alcocheti base 40 kilometers away from Lisbon, which is also the youth training base of Sporting Lisbon.
