When only Zhang Sheng and Lu Zhihui were left in the ward, the topic returned to football.

"Yesterday the national team manager Perrin called me to ask about your injury. Zhang Sheng said with a little regret, "After he knew, he also expressed regret." ”

Lu Zhihui also understood Zhang Sheng's words, because on May 19, Pei Lan announced the new training list of the Chinese national team, including Lu Zhihui.

But according to the current situation, Lu Zhihui is definitely going to come out of the training list this time, and his injury will definitely make him miss the next few extremely important qualifiers.

Zhang Sheng's words made Lu Zhihui, who was still in a relaxed mood just now, a little depressed.

But Lu Zhihui will know such news sooner or later, and Pei Lan will definitely call to communicate with Lu Zhihui, so it is better for Zhang Sheng to inform him of this matter first.

"You know, a lot of people out there say that we like to sell captains. According to them, as a vice-captain, you will be very dangerous. Zhang Sheng also saw Lu Zhihui's expression, first made a joke, saw Lu Zhihui looking at him in horror, and then raised his eyebrows, "However, don't worry." You vice-captain, I won't sell, as long as you don't bring it up, you will always be on my list. ”

Hearing Zhang Sheng's own ridicule, Lu Zhihui was also a little crying and laughing, he scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said: "Unless the club drives me, I won't leave." ”

"Then you can recuperate with peace of mind, don't worry, when will it be completely healed, and when will you come back. Zhang Sheng gave Lu Zhihui a reassurance, "As for the national team, when you are injured and your performance is good, there will be more opportunities." You know, in the position of central defender, you are still very 'young'. ”

Zhang Sheng's words are indeed sincere.

The Longteng team will play mainly with three central defenders in the future, and there are only four or five players in the team who can play in the central defender position, among which Liming is still very young, Lu Zhihui In addition to playing, Lu Zhihui also has a very important task, that is, to teach his game experience to Liming, Lu Yangyang, Chen Yinuo, Gao Yiyan and other young players.

As for Lu Zhihui's age, for the position of central defender, he is less than 30 years old, and he has just entered his golden age.

Zhang Sheng's promise gave Lu Zhihui a lot of support, his expression became obviously relaxed, and a thousand words turned into one sentence: "Thank you, coach." ”

After ending the chat with Lu Zhihui, Zhang Sheng didn't stay long, he returned to the club, because three days later, the Longteng team still had a league to play, or away, and it was far away, and it was far away to go to Northeast Liaoning to play against Liaoning Hongyun.

Under the leadership of Zhang Sheng, the Longteng team, which is dominated by rotation and substitute players, won the game with a score of 1:3 away from home, and Liming's performance was very good, which made Zhang Sheng worry about Lu Zhihui's possible injury for up to three months.

There is a very fierce focus battle in this round of the game, Guangzhou Evergrande easily defeated Jiangsu Suning 2:0 at home, which is the second in the league and the third in the league, and it is also the fighting spirit between the old tyrant and the new tyrant, and finally the more mature Guangzhou Evergrande has the last laugh.

Among them, Jiangsu Suning not only lost the game, but also lost a general, who has been used by the club and the head coach as a superman, never rested, and contributed a lot of running in every game.

As a very cost-effective reinforcement for Jiangsu Suning this season, from the club to the fans, Xiao Yunfan's skills have provided Suning with very good offensive firepower on the side, even if he often causes defensive loopholes in one thing and the other, everyone understands it.

This cast a shadow over Jiangsu Suning's home AFC Champions League match three days later.

The Longteng team, who had just finished the league, did not have any time to rest, and they flew directly from Liaoning to South Korea to participate in the second leg of the AFC Champions League against Seoul FC, fortunately, Liaoning did not fly too far to South Korea.

The away challenge to the Longteng team, not only Seoul FC, but also the entire Korean football world is paying attention, and various media are giving Seoul FC tips to help them analyze the tactics of the Longteng team, analyze Zhang Sheng, and analyze the players of the Longteng team, even if these analyses have been done countless times, even after the analysis, they are still difficult to win.

Lu Zhihui's injury gave them hope this time.

As the main central defender of the Longteng team in recent years, Lu Zhihui cannot be ignored in the defense of the backfield or the set-piece attack in the frontcourt.

In the analysis of the South Korean media, the young central defender who is only 18 years old has become a weakness that they take for granted, because experience is too important in the position of central defender.

Seoul FC's head coach Choi Yong-so, as an excellent head coach, is certainly no worse than those media, as a person who has personally played against the Yongteng team many times, he thinks more and prepares more.

Choi Yong-so's top priority is physical fitness.

Like the Yongteng team, Seoul FC originally had a league game to play after the AFC Champions League game, but considering that it was the AFC Champions League match against the Longteng team next, and the Korean national team also had to draw personnel from Seoul FC, after the decision of the Korean Football Association, the game was put to June.

In other words, Seoul FC spent a week summarizing the problems and formulating countermeasures to meet the challenge of the Dragons.

Judging from the last round of the game, the Yongteng team is very confrontational, even more active than the South Korean team, which used to be the most confrontational at the Asian level, which made Choi Yongsu a little unexpected at that time, which led to Seoul FC actually began to fear the confrontation of the Yongteng team on the field, and even needed Choi Yongsu to emphasize confrontation on the sidelines at halftime.

But fighting this thing is based on physical fitness.

After the last leg of the AFC Champions League, the Longteng team did not rest like Seoul FC, but the opponent who went to challenge away from home, and now he has to fly over immediately to challenge himself away.

In addition to fighting physical fitness with the Longteng team, Choi Yongsu also made adjustments in attack, Dejan did not start this time, but Park Joo-young started the game, and Seoul FC put out a lineup of two fast forwards, obviously for the situation that the three central defenders on the Longteng team are all big men.

In the end, the South Korean media unanimously mentioned that the newcomer Liming of the Longteng team's central defender has also become the target of Choi Yongsu's focus.

After the start of the game, considering the continuous away battles, Zhang Sheng consciously reduced the pressing and let the players play more foot passes.

But this intention was caught by Choi Yong-so, and compared to the Longteng team, which avoided the battle a little, the morale of Seoul FC was completely beaten.

In the first minute of the opening game, Gao Yaohan on the right side slammed into Ben Alpha, knocked the latter away, got the ball, and then Gao Yaohan ran all the way down the side, forcing Qi Ming, who assisted in the defense on the left side of the Longteng team, to shovel the ball out of the bottom line, and Seoul FC got a corner kick opportunity at the beginning.

Seoul FC, which got a corner kick, was very smart, knowing that Dejan didn't go on and he didn't have a center, they played a tactical corner kick very wisely, and Park Joo-yong, who took the corner kick, and Gao Yaohan, who cooperated with him, were very far away, and the Longteng team didn't expect it at all.

By the time Gao Yaohan got the ball, the Longteng players had been slow to press in the past, and the unguarded Gao Yaohan's pass found Osmar in the penalty area, who jumped high to fight for the top.

At this time, Liming's advantage came into play, although he was one or two centimeters shorter than Osmar, Liming jumped much higher than the opponent, and at the same time, his strong body was not afraid of the confrontation of Osmar's top physical conditions in Asia, and a powerful header pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

A surprise set of corner kick tactics prepared by Seoul FC was ruined by Dawn.

Liming's performance this time surprised both Choi Yong-so and Osmar.

Choi Ryong-so didn't expect Dawn to be so accurate, jump so timely, and concentrate so much, while Osmar was amazed at Dawn's physical fitness, especially the bounce - far better than he imagined.

It should be said that Choi Yong-so is not wrong in the collection of intelligence, Dawn's sense of position is not strong, and his lack of concentration is sometimes a big drawback, this player summoned with Dewey's enhanced version, in addition to containing Dewey's various strengths, he also inherited Dewey's various weaknesses.

In most cases, such weaknesses will follow these players for the rest of their lives, like Dewey until the end of his career, even with years of playing experience, a lack of positional sense and lack of concentration.

The difference is that Zhang Sheng has systematic help, and the special training function can allow young players like Liming to greatly make up for various weaknesses.

Dawn, who has been trained by the system for nearly a year, has improved a lot at this time, and it is the last moment of potential value finalization.

The next attack of the Dragons was quickly terminated - Seoul FC relied on Yojiro Kogi to make a decisive foul before the ball was half-time, so that Qi Ming's ball was not passed at all.

This is also the tactic that Choi Yongsu focuses on in this game - the first time to counter-rob the attack of the Longteng team, and fouls are OK, after all, this is the home of Seoul FC, and as long as the fouls in the front court are not bad, they will basically not eat cards.

Qi Ming, who was pulled by Yojiro Takagi, complained to the referee to no avail, so he could only unwillingly take a free kick in the backfield, and at this time the players of Seoul FC had already stood firm in their defensive position.

After the Longteng team failed to find a good shooting opportunity in the front court in a row, they patiently operated the football to the backfield and slowly mobilized the formation of Seoul FC.

Compared with the previous game, Seoul FC is now much more intense, with Park Joo-young in the front, including Adriano, who was sleepwalking in the last game, desperately participating in the high-level pressing.

Seoul FC's high-level pressing is very resolute, and the level of pressing is also very in place, and it is difficult for the players of the Longteng team to deal with it by slowly falling their feet.

Driven by Seoul FC, the players of the Longteng team also accelerated the speed of passing, and at the same time, the habitual pressing tactics were also taken out, and the game on the field became very fierce for a while.

Seeing the situation on the field, the fans on the sidelines were extremely happy, and it was much better to see such a high-paced game than those dull and sleepy games.

Even the two commentators in charge of the commentary were also elated, among which the main commentator Shen Fangjian said: "It is another wonderful AFC Champions League game, and it is a typical Longteng team-style game, the confrontation is fierce, the rhythm is fast, and the final probability is to end the game with a big score." ”

Since the start of this season, whether in the league or in the AFC Champions League, the Longteng team has remained undefeated, their extremely passionate style of play, wide open and close, there has never been a shortage of goals in the game, so far, only one game is only one goal, and in other games, the Longteng team has at least two goals or more, and sometimes even 6.

Sun Lei, who was the partner of Shen Fangjian in this game, said: "The overall strength of the Longteng team is really strong now, and with several foreign aides with outstanding strength, the big score is normal." ”

The fans and commentators were happy, and Zhang Sheng was happy.

The distribution of physical fitness, Zhang Sheng made arrangements before the game, how could he follow the other party's ideas.

The blame can only be blamed on this round of the AFC Champions League, and the attitudes of the football associations of China and South Korea are very different.

The Korean Football Association (KSO) has adjusted the league schedule for clubs in its own league, which was unthinkable in the past.

The head coach of the AFC Champions League team in the K League said: "This (AFC Champions League and league) schedule will be dead. But the Korean Football Association was still indifferent.

Still a few years ago, the Chinese Super League team for the results of the AFC Champions League, the Chinese Football Association for their own political performance, the AFC Champions League game attaches great importance to the AFC Champions League, for the AFC Champions League adjustment is a common thing, while South Korea is much calmer, unless it is an important game in the knockout stage, generally will not adjust the league for the AFC Champions League; as for Japan, it is much more wonderful, the AFC Champions League has never been valued by them, not only the Japanese Football Association looks down on the AFC Champions League, even countless J League clubs are taking the AFC Champions League games as training.

The situation is completely different now.

Since Guangzhou Evergrande won the AFC Champions League on the Chinese Super League, especially after the rise of the Longteng team, which has not been in history, the Japanese and Korean clubs and their Japanese and Korean Football Association, which have been repeatedly defeated by these two Chinese Super League teams, have truly treated the AFC Champions League as the "Champions League of Asia".

In addition to the Korean Football Association's schedule adjustment for Seoul FC, the other two K-League teams, Jeonbuk Hyundai and Suwon Samsung, were both rested in the last round of the league.

As for the teams in Japan's J-League, they are now reflecting on themselves at home and bombarding the Japanese Football Association - the four J-League clubs were wiped out in the group stage, and they can only watch their rivals in the Chinese Super League and K-League clubs gallop in the AFC Champions League.

In fact, this season, the Japanese Football Association has also adjusted the league schedule for the clubs in the J-League, reflecting their change in the consciousness of the AFC Champions League.

On the contrary, the Chinese Football Association doesn't care much about it, and it is estimated that there have been too many AFC Champions League championships in recent years, and the old men of the Football Association are too lazy to do things, which is to suffer Zhang Sheng and Longteng team, including all the players of the Chinese Super League clubs participating in the AFC Champions League.
