60. Who is the real king of the academy
Qin Minghao and Li Yun's wonderful performances made domestic fans rejoice, and a bunch of fans who stayed up late to watch the game left messages on the Internet:
"Strong! two assists, beating Valencia, Qin Minghao is my idol!"
"Li Yun is really hanging, Paco was blown into the sky before the game, what FM demon star, what Villa second, in front of my Brother Yun, they are all scum!"
"If there are more Chinese players like this, we are still worried about not being able to enter the World Cup, and I don't think it is a problem to qualify for the World Cup group. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Qin Minghao, Li Yun told us that in the future, the players of the national team will go to the Longteng team to pick them up. ”
And the domestic media did not let go of such good news materials, such as "Dragon Twin Stars Shine in Europe", "Assist to score twice, Qin Minghao conquers Red Bull fans", "One husband is a key and ten thousand people are not open, Li Yun helps the team clean up La Liga giants" reports are full of various media.
Of course, not only the domestic media made a big splash, but also the sports media in Europe also reported, especially the excellent performance of Qin Minghao and Li Yun, two young Chinese players, which attracted the attention of many European clubs.
Now China's influence in the world is getting bigger and bigger, more and more European clubs want to introduce Chinese players to open up the Chinese market, but the low level of Chinese players is recognized, if it is just a simple commercial behavior to introduce Chinese players, the influence can not last, but once there are Chinese players can strengthen business cooperation and improve the team's competitive level, it is different.
Coupled with the fact that Qin Minghao and Li Yun had already shown their strength and talent at the previous World Youth Championships, the combination of these factors made European clubs interested in developing the Chinese market take action, and Red Bull Club also felt a lot of pressure, because these interested clubs are far better than them in terms of fame and real strength.
The owner of Red Bull Salzburg had to come out to refute the rumors: "Qin Minghao and Li Yun are our core players in the future, and they are not for sale." ”
In the face of Qin Minghao and Li Yun's showmanship, the players in the Longteng team were envious. At the same time, the two big brothers who have gone out give them a huge incentive - as long as you play well, the Dragons can send you to Europe in countless ways, and once you do the same, you may be as famous as the two of them in the future.
Zhang Sheng did not waste such a good opportunity to cheer up the whole team, before the Longteng team began to face Shanghai SIPG on April 5, Zhang Sheng mobilized the whole team: "I think everyone knows the result of that game. This game has shown us that as long as we stick to the way we play, stick to the way we train, and go step by step, I can assure you that as soon as you are able to go to Europe, I will let you go as soon as you do it. ”
Before this game, the media began to hype the concept of the youth army, needless to say the Longteng team, now they have become the benchmark of Chinese football youth training, a large number of outstanding young players emerge in an endless stream, and have contributed a lot of good players to the national teams at all levels of Chinese football.
Before the Longteng team officially became famous, Shanghai SIPG was the most famous youth army in the country.
After ten years of sharpening the sword in Chongming Island, the SIPG team under Xu Genbao finally stepped onto the stage of China's top league in the 2013 season, and a group of fearsome young students also got the opportunity to show themselves. With the rise of the fame of "civil and military", the youth army of the Shanghai Port team has also set off a youth storm in the Chinese Super League.
On the stage of the top league for the first time, Wu Lei, who had high hopes before the season, not only did not disappoint, but even laughed at the local scorer list with 15 goals in the season, and the masterpiece of "hat trick" three times in a single season also rewrote the history of Chinese players, Wu Lei was also selected into the national team without suspense by virtue of his performance in the Chinese Super League, becoming the backbone of the future national football team.
With Wu Lei as the core, supplemented by Lu Wenjun and Zhu Zhengrong's front-court attack combination has also become the most powerful local weapon in the Chinese Super League that year, although in the second half of the season, Lu Wenjun was reimbursed due to injury, and Zhu Zhengrong was also once plagued by injuries, but "Wenwu Zhengrong" still contributed 26 goals throughout the season, accounting for more than two-thirds of the total goals of the Shanghai Port team, which is absolutely unique in the Chinese Super League where foreign aid strikers are "rampant".
In fact, behind the scenery of "civil and military" destroying the city, the "green leaf" players of the Shanghai Port team are also not lacking in bright spots. As the leader of the first team, although Wang Shenchao's main position is left-back, he is a versatile chess piece in the tactical system of SIPG, and his comprehensive skills allow him to be competent in the position of midfielder and full-back, such a versatile player is rare in every team. In addition, as the team's main back, Cai Huikang's sweeping and interception in the midfield is also indispensable, and in the data list of the Chinese Super League season that year, Cai Huikang's personal steals also topped the list, which is a good interpretation of the role of the midfield engineer, especially in the system of Genbao's "rushing around", Cai Huikang's contribution must not be ignored.
While the individual is prominent, the overall tactical play of the SIPG team in the 2013 season is also remarkable. Judging from the whole season, although there have been phased adjustments in the balance of offense and defense, the team's six-character policy of "rushing to encircle, receiving and transferring" has been resolutely implemented, which makes the SIPG team's delicate technique and exquisite style of play unique in the Chinese Super League, not only to make Ma Lin, Shen Xiangfu and other domestic coaches admire, and even foreign coaches such as Lippi, Takeshi Okada and Starno also praise the tactical play of the SIPG team.
Later, some media calculated the average age of each line in the 2013 season, and their youth also amazed the fans.
In the back line, even if there is Adu (1983) + Ivan (1979), the average age is over 30, but the average age of other main and rotation players has been pulled to 24 years old, especially the main goalkeeper Yan Junling is just 22 years old.
In the forward line, Dixon (1984) + Cabezas (1986) are not young, but several substitute strikers have pulled the average age to 22.8 years old.
In the midfield, the strongest line of the SIPG team, Cai Huikang (1989), Wang Jiajie (1988)/Lu Wenjun (1989), Wu Lei (1991), Zhu Zhengrong (1988), plus a group of rotation and substitute players, reduced the average age to 21.6 years old.
In this way, the average age of the whole team of Shanghai SIPG is only 22.8 years old!
Although in the end, SIPG only got the ninth place and did not reach Xu Genbao's "631" goal, but they were more dragged down by funds, several foreign strikers in the team, one only scored two goals in the whole season, one only played 5 times, and was forced to leave after 8 rounds of zero goals, and the forwards introduced in the second half of the season only scored 3 goals.
It can be said that last season's SIPG was a team that was completely supported by domestic players.
Since the beginning of this season, Shanghai SIPG has played exceptionally well, the first four games, they are unbeaten with 3 wins and 1 draw at the top of the table, and played a 5:1 sweep of the city rival Shanghai Shenxin game, before this game, Shanghai SIPG played a wave of three consecutive wins, than last season only once two consecutive wins of Shanghai SIPG seems to be more powerful.
And the appearance of Longteng has made the name of the Shanghai SIPG Super League Youth Army fall aside. Before the Longteng team entered the Chinese Super League, although the average age of their team was so low that countless fans were staggered, but at that time they were not in the Chinese Super League after all, and neither the league level nor their reputation were enough for them to compare with Shanghai SIPG.
Now that the Longteng team has entered the Chinese Super League, they have also started to play the AFC Champions League with the title of last season's FA Cup champions, and in the group stage of the AFC Champions League, the Longteng team is now firmly in first place, with slightly worse results in the league, but it is also in the middle of the table.
The media and fans of Good Things have also counted the average age of the Dragons this season.
In the backline, the main lineup of the Longteng team, plus the rotation and substitute lineup, has reached an average age of 20.7 years old, of which the main goalkeeper is only 18 years old, which is also the youngest main goalkeeper in the history of the Chinese Super League.
On the forward line, because the Longteng team mainly plays 4-2-3-1, there are only 3 forwards, two of which are players above 25, Pato (25) + Wen Kai (27), even so, under the pull of substitute Zou Weijia, their average is only 23.3 years old.
Like Shanghai SIPG, the strongest part of the Longteng team is also in their midfield, among the five main players, Yu Bo (20) + Mahrez (23) + Kante (23) + Ivo (28) + Lin Feng (20), plus a group of younger substitutes, the average age is only 21.4 years old, which is the same as the average age of Shanghai SIPG's midfield last year.
In this way, the average of the whole team of the Longteng team is 21.8 years lower than last year's Shanghai SIPG, which is exactly one year younger.
This comparison has made everyone focus on this round of the Chinese Super League, and everyone is speculating whether Shanghai SIPG will continue their hot form and win away from home, or whether the Longteng team will pull down the current top spot in the Chinese Super League, and at the same time establish their own name as the first youth army in the Chinese Super League.
This season's Shanghai SIPG gave the outside world a lot of confidence at the beginning of the season, several of the team's main sponsors East Asia Group, SIPG Group, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, agriculture and industry have increased their sponsorship, Xu Genbao, who has been trapped by money, spent a "lot of money" to buy the Swedish international Haisen, this time the transfer fee is 1 million euros, even so he is the most valuable foreign aid in the history of Shanghai SIPG.
However, Haisen's performance is still very good, and now he has scored three goals in a row and with four goals with Pato of Longteng to occupy the second place in the scorer list, and he scored two goals against city rivals Shanghai Shenxin. Zhang Sheng knows that Shanghai Sen has scored 19 goals this season and won the bronze boot of the Chinese Super League, which can be regarded as sharing a large part of Wu Lei's pressure on the front line.
As time went on, the Sweden international's chemistry with Wu Lei and McBlin became more and more compatible, as evidenced by SIPG's home win over Guoan with the dominance of passing.
In fact, the Longteng team and Shanghai SIPG have a record of fighting, in last year's FA Cup game, the Longteng team once defeated Shanghai SIPG away from home, but at that time Shanghai SIPG was struggling for the relegation of the Chinese Super League, and there was no spare energy to take care of the FA Cup game, at that time, the players who played in Shanghai SIPG were basically 93, 94 or even 95 years of young players, they were all absolute substitute players of the Shanghai Port team at that time, but the main players of the Longteng team at that time poured out, and it was reasonable for the Longteng team to win.
In an interview with reporters before the game, Xi Zhikang, the head coach of Shanghai SIPG, appeared very modest: "The Longteng team is a very strong team, they have world-class stars like Pato, and the domestic players in their team are also very good, but we will try to play this game well." ”
Zhang Sheng is very confident: "This is our home stadium, and winning all three points is our only goal in this game, so as to be worthy of the fans' support for us." ”
And Zhang Sheng did this in this game, in the starting list, Zhang Sheng did not send Yu Bo, who had a more balanced offense and defense, but Ding Huaiyi, who had a sharp attack, which also showed Zhang Sheng's determination to win this game.
The reason why Zhang Sheng dares to play like this is mainly because there is Kante as a midfielder in the team now. As the sharpest blade in the Shanghai SIPG team, Wu Lei's breakthrough forward is an important means of scoring for them, and Kante, a player with low height and short center of gravity, is very restrained against a player with strong sudden start ability like Wu Lei.
At the same time, Ma Yongli, the central defender of the Longteng team, is also one of the reasons why Zhang Sheng is relieved, this is also a player who turns quickly, has good body balance, and has strong speed and explosiveness.
After the start of the game, as Zhang Sheng expected, although Shanghai SIPG handed over the ball more to McBlin, the real attack still came from Wu Lei's start and insertion, but unfortunately Zhang Sheng had already seen through this arrangement and targeted countermeasures.
Xi Zhikang's arrangement in this game should be said to be very targeted, he let Wu Lei play on the right side, just to play behind Ding Huaiyi and Xiao Yunfan, and at the same time in the midfield, he arranged Cai Huikang to stare at Lin Feng, once Lin Feng took the ball into the first 30 meters area, he followed closely and did not let him pass the ball.
The result of this is that the attacks of both sides are very limited, and the attacks in the game always hit the 30-meter area and lose good opportunities. (To be continued.) )
