With the end of this FA Cup match, Zhang Sheng's calling points have reached 100 points, plus the previous five consecutive wins, he can get two calling opportunities at one time, and Zhang Sheng still chose to call coaches. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The system also quickly gave 4 coaches, and among the 4 coaches provided this time, Zhang Sheng saw two very special professional coaches - game analysts.

When Zhang Sheng was in Europe, he knew that match analysts were very common in professional clubs, and many teams had formed their own analyst teams and put this team in a very important position.

The main job of the match analyst is to examine the enemy, go to the game site to shoot and examine all the situation of the next opponent, focusing on the opponent's playing style, strengths and weaknesses, and when he returns to the club, he begins to make video highlights of the information gathered. Then, two days before the next game, the match analyst will have a formal meeting with the head coach and coaching staff, and spend hours reporting back to them the information and materials that the analyst has gathered. The next day, the day before the game, the match analyst will show the players the video and sometimes give them an explanation to remind them what to look out for in their opponents.

Match analysts are relatively late to football's long history, and are a novelty compared to sports that have been more commercialised and professionalized.

The profession of game analyst first appeared in the United States, the most successful and mature commercialization of the sports industry, whether it is in MLB (Major League Baseball) or NBA, game analyst has a long history, for example, in the NBA, game analyst is a very common profession, and every team is equipped with a professional analyst.

In MLB, there are also star-level game analysts, such as Billy, the general manager of the Oakland Athletics baseball team, James, who is a very good game analyst, and he and Pete, a master of economics, use mathematical modeling to find the "base rate" based on big data theory High potential star, after the successful modeling of the 2003 season, the new Athletics team recorded a 20-game winning streak, with a total of 103 wins in the regular season, tied with the Yankees for the most wins in the major leagues, and made a name for itself as a club that has always been a fish belly team.

And this matter is also valued by Hollywood, and it is put on the big screen, the name of the film is "Moneyball", and a big star like Brad Pitt is invited to play it. In reality, Billy's example is a reminder to many professional clubs that match analysts are becoming more and more important in a team.

In football specifically, match analysts did not officially appear until 2004, and then began to be popularized in European professional clubs, such as the legendary Italian central defender Nesta, who chose the position of team video analyst after retiring, mainly responsible for analysing the game footage of the team and the opponent, and providing assistance to the coaching staff, which is a branch of the work of the analyst team.

In the Chinese Super League clubs, this very professional industry has just started, the vast majority of teams do not have a dedicated match analyst, the collection of opponent intelligence mainly depends on the assistant coach, and the analysis of intelligence also depends entirely on the personal ability of the assistant coach, and there is no mature system for coaches to use.

What's more, most of the analysis of opponents relies on videos obtained from various channels, and the number of times to watch the game directly to collect intelligence is very small, which leads to the omission of a lot of opponent information, such as domestic fans often hear the head coach say: "We are relatively unfamiliar with this opponent." Or: "This player is not familiar to us." In the final analysis, it is still a lack of preparation and analysis before the game.

Because compared to the video that has already been made, you can observe the whole stadium when you go to see the game live, not just through the camera view, and all 22 players on the field can be seen at any time. And if you want to observe a team's formation and tactics, it is crucial to be able to look down on the whole field. In addition, some of the body language and running between the players were also something that could not be captured on TV cameras.

When it comes to each player of the opponent, it is more intuitive to watch on the spot, such as the physical fitness of the players, although such data coaches may be able to obtain specific numbers through other channels, but each person's situation is different, and the coach must make a judgment on this. So, going to the field to see how effective your opponent is to get a 10% bonus, and these are probably the most important details for match analysts to know.

A peculiar phenomenon of Chinese Super League teams - new foreign players can always score in the first game or in the first few games, which is also related to the lack of dedicated analysts at the opposing clubs.

Just as many professional management methods always start with Guangzhou Evergrande, the emergence of match analysts in Chinese Super League teams is also due to the first precedent of Guangzhou Evergrande.

After Guangzhou Evergrande hired Lippi as coach, Lippi also brought his own match analyst Pezzotti, whose main job was to be in charge of tactical research and intelligence gathering. The players are quite unfamiliar with him, because he spends most of his time on the go, very hard and unrecognized.

It wasn't until the 2013 season, after Guangzhou Evergrande won the AFC Champions League for the first time, that the teams in the Chinese Super League woke up like a dream and began to dig deep into Lippi's coaching staff, that Pezzotti began to be known, and teams interested in building a more professional club hurriedly began to take up the position of game analyst.

For example, after the 2013 season, Hangzhou Greentown set up a team of two match analysts at the request of head coach Takeshi Okada, and other clubs began to gradually promote it.

The Longteng team also has its own game analyst, but the number is relatively small, only one and is a foreign coach - the German Schurrle, the reason why Schurrle is allowed to hold this position, mainly because the current game analysts need to master the knowledge is very complex and very professional, such as the operation of those excellent analysis software.

Schurrle's work is also very heavy, he often complains to Zhang Sheng, hoping that someone can come to help, but Zhang Sheng has not found a suitable candidate, this time the two game analysts summoned by the system are considered to be dozing off when someone handed over the pillow, just so that the coaching staff of the Longteng team can form a team of analysts.

And what made Zhang Sheng even more surprised this time was that one of the two analysts was a woman, which is too rare in a non-women's football club.

This female analyst's name is Gu Qi, she graduated from Zhejiang University, a famous school in China, and then went to Loughborough University in the United Kingdom to study for a master's degree in sports management. The Wales national women's football team also has the women's youth team, and the specific job is to video the daily training of the U15-U19, and make video clips according to the training theme, as well as do pre-match opponent analysis, make game videos, and make statistics and match reports after the game.

This time, she can be regarded as a successful learner, successfully returned to China, and is ready to develop in China, and her resume has also been collected by the staff of the Longteng Club and has become the focus of the club.

As for the other game analyst, it is completely from the grassroots, this analyst named Huang Linjia is very similar to a girl, in fact, he is a big man, he received amateur football training when he was very young, and was admitted to university after being eliminated from vocational training, and studied a very popular computer major, but in his spare time he did not give up his football hobby, from playing football to watching football, and from watching football to watching game videos, and later developed the habit of analyzing videos.

In 7 or 8 years, he personally spent money to buy professional football branch software (these software are still relatively expensive), through self-study to do millions of words of game analysis experience, the Arsenal fan is very fond of the Longteng team's style of cultivating young players, so he took the initiative to submit a resume to the Longteng team, Zhang Sheng after reviewing his resume, he felt that this is a talent who can calm down and do things, and is willing to invest, and he was also recruited into the club.

For these two match analysts, Zhang Sheng plans to let them learn hard from Schurrle first, and at the same time let them practice in various echelons of the youth team first, so that they can grow up quickly.

In Zhang Sheng's view, there are still many grassroots football lovers like Huang Linjia in China, they love football, but they don't have enough talent or good opportunities to become professional players, they can only stick to their football dreams in various ways in their spare time, as long as they are given opportunities, these people with ideals and motivation will always stand out.

In fact, the most famous example is Dong Wuzhi, a football lover who used to be a player of the Beijing Youth Team after leaving the professional football world, began to participate in a large number of football video analysis, and gradually used new media such as Weibo to speak out, and finally he was invited to become a football commentator on CCTV5+ channel, and had his own tactical analysis program section in the program section of Beijing TV Sports Channel, which is one of the representatives of grassroots counterattack.

What Zhang Sheng wants to do now is to provide a platform for these people to perform.

Among the coaches called this time, in addition to these two game analysts, there are two ordinary youth coaches, they are all graduates of domestic sports colleges, and have coaching experience in various football schools and even in the second team.

The appearance of these four coaches has given Zhang Sheng the confidence to expand his football territory again, and he is ready to set up a football school in Anhui, Hui and Shanxi after the end of the season.

After arranging these coaches, Zhang Sheng began to prepare for the next Chinese Super League, this round of the Chinese Super League has several very eye-catching games, one is the relegation battle at the end of the list, Dalian Albin home against Liaoning Hongyun, one is Guangzhou Evergrande home against Beijing Guoan, Zhang Sheng, who came back, of course, knew that these two games ended with the home team fighting at home, but the outside media did not have this predictive ability, and they began to hype these two games.

Of course, Zhang Sheng is also happy to be like this, after all, the Longteng team is a team that has no desire to play Hangzhou Greentown at home, and victory is expected, and he can wait for the result of Guangzhou Evergrande against Beijing Guoan.

Sure enough, the game of the Longteng team was as Zhang Sheng expected before the game, in the first half, Ding Huaiyi relied on his good condition to score twice to lead the score to 2:0, and in the second half, Zhang Sheng made a lot of personnel adjustments, Zou Weijia scored another goal to expand the score to 3:0, and the Longteng team completed its task.

Before the game, the head coaches of Evergrande and Guoan began to consciously play psychological warfare, both sides declared that they would definitely win the game, Guoan's head coach Manzano said that they came to Guangzhou with the belief of victory, and they wanted to return to Beijing with 3 points to celebrate with the fans, so that the suspense of the championship remained until the last round.

In terms of players, the two sides did not have a soft mouth, and Zheng Zhi, the captain of Guangzhou Evergrande, made a domineering declaration, so that all Guangzhou fans can rest assured. "Evergrande has won the Super League match point for the fourth time, and last year won the AFC Champions League, so we have full experience in such competitions, and everyone has no pressure. ”

Since Evergrande will win the championship as long as the home team does not lose, the Football Association has arranged the post-match award ceremony, and Evergrande has also prepared a simple celebration performance, which can undoubtedly see Evergrande's confidence.

There is a big difference between Evergrande this season and Evergrande in history, that is, they have gone further in the AFC Champions League.

Because of the appearance of the Longteng team, Evergrande avoided the Western Sydney Wanderers in the 1/4 finals, so they went all the way to the final of the East Asian region, and eliminated the opponent, and once again entered the final of the AFC Champions League.

Of course, there are good and bad effects of this matter, the good effect is the morale of the team, the bad effect is that they have to be distracted, and the physical requirements of the players are also higher, so the suspense of this game is far greater than the one in history.

Of course, Zhang Sheng is looking forward to whether this Dragon Tiger Head can provide more opportunities for himself, and the fans are also full of expectations, so when the Longteng team plays this Chinese Super League, not only a group of people in the coach's seat of the Longteng team are waiting for the phone call of another game at any time, but the loudspeaker of the home stadium is also ready to broadcast the score of another game at any time.
