For the upcoming Chinese League, Zhang Sheng also spent a lot of effort to collect information. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but to be honest, the effect is not good.

The popularity of the Chinese Super League has brought a large number of fans who have been disappointed with Chinese football back to the stadium and the TV. But do you pay attention to the news of the Chinese League, and how many games have you watched this season?

The answers to the above questions can already reflect the current situation of China's low-level football leagues from one side. Under an unconventional inverted pyramid structure, China's low-level leagues can only be ignored, chaotic management, laissez-faire, and conflict...... It is very different from those football powerhouses or neighboring countries that pay close attention to youth training and pay attention to the basics. The popularity of the Chinese Super League has not brought the Chinese League and the Second Division closer to the real professional football.

Even some media people who have been immersed in Chinese football for many years are very fond of the Chinese League. Many football media people have repeatedly mentioned that the most difficult part of writing an article is the data analysis of the Chinese League. If it's a person's interview, it's easy to use your personal connections to contact the player or coach's agent. However, the data analysis of the Chinese league is really not in the same way, because there is very little comprehensive match data that can be used for review analysis.

Although there are many media channels in the market that can provide domestic league data, due to the lack of attention to the Chinese league, the data they give is often not detailed enough, and the data obtained may not be able to analyze a team or a player thoroughly, which is the key reason why many football reporters have a big head. This is also the biggest obstacle that Zhang Sheng encountered when he wanted to have an in-depth understanding of the real situation of the various teams in the Chinese League.

In fact, the development of world football has given birth to a lot of valuable things, and data analysis is exactly what Zhang Sheng urgently needs. In Europe's top leagues, giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona play about 60 high-intensity games every season, in addition to ensuring sufficient bench depth, to achieve comprehensive and detailed data analysis, using these data to monitor daily training and game summary, as far as possible to avoid injuries and poor tactical arrangements caused by the decline in performance, which is the key to strong teams can still achieve good results in multi-front operations. This is also the reason why Zhang Sheng and Jiangsoft Technology cooperated.

As we all know, the professional league is the support of a country's football, which is obviously not something that one or two clubs can do alone, or even a single top league. Take English football, the originator of modern football, for example, they have a total of nine levels of leagues, and it is this pyramid structure that covers all walks of life that continues to breathe vitality into English football.

As the second tier of the English league, the data of the Championship can be easily found on major European data websites, and the data items are very detailed and complete. It is precisely because of the supporting database that the development of the lower leagues can be monitored whether the development of the lower leagues is healthy, so as to maintain the healthy development of football in England as a whole.

When he wanted to really understand the situation of the teams in the Chinese League, Zhang Sheng found that he was a little blind, and the information he got was all big and generalized news, and the news at the competitive level was pitiful.

But just from the news he heard, Zhang Sheng also had a general understanding of the Chinese League, which can be summed up in two sentences in the Chinese League circle: in the first half of the year, he sold his art to earn points and relegation, and in the second half of the year, he sold himself to make money to survive.

Every year, the three voices that come out of the Chinese League can prove these two sentences: at the beginning of the season, the team first shouts a slogan to overtake; in the middle of the season, it is gradually heard that the match-fixing is released and the points are sent to make money; at the end of the season, people are talking about who does not want to surpass, who is made by whom, and other gossip. All kinds of rumors exist every year, reflecting the unprofessional construction of the league, the opaque work of the department, and the unconvincing process of the game. Aside from these difficult to distinguish between true and false game style and discipline, the fact that wages are not paid, the quality of the lawn is worrying, and the team is mismanaged.

Of course, many of these news are groundless, and various rumors are mixed with various rumors. However, Zhang Sheng thought about such a thing for a while and let it go. In terms of Chongjia, it still depends on strength, not only the strength of the team's players and coaches, but also the financial resources behind the club, and also depends on the connections in the circle.

Zhang Sheng is still very confident in these points. The strength of the team's players is absolutely unique in the entire Chinese League, Zhang Sheng is also very confident in his coaching ability, and the team's current tactics are definitely able to beat the entire Chinese League. As for the club's financial resources, Zhang Sheng is also very confident. Not to mention anything else, the whole season's game has not yet started, and the four players of Huang Zongwei, Liu Fangming, Zhao Yingying and Wu Hao sold 510w. Many teams in the Chinese League only have a fund of more than 1000w a year. Not to mention that the financial resources of Longteng Group are also completely fine.

As for the most hidden strength, that is, the connections in the football circle, Zhang Sheng also boasts that he is not inferior to anyone. Whether it is a practical school or an academic school, Zhang Sheng has corresponding experience. Besides, this strength ultimately speaks with money. The Dragons definitely don't lack this.

Before the start of the season, Zhang Zhijun, who had been paying attention to the Longteng team, also called Zhang Sheng and Zhang Chen as usual for a pre-season family meeting.

It should be said that Zhang Zhijun is very satisfied with Zhang Sheng's performance last season. The Longteng team won the championship of the second division, also broke into the final of the FA Cup, and the team also contributed two excellent players to the national youth team, which can be said to be inseparable from the leadership of Zhang Sheng.

The most important thing for Zhang Zhijun is not only the team's results. The main thing is that the good performance of the team has brought attention from society and the government.

The social concern can be seen in the growing number of media outlets in the vicinity of the Dragon Club and the stadium that fills up every game. Since the Longteng team entered the second round of the FA Cup, they have encountered the Chinese Super League and even most of the Chinese Super League teams, and the number of reporters who came to the Longteng Club to ask for interviews has gradually increased, and after playing the game with Guangzhou Evergrande, it has reached a peak - 16 media have asked for interviews. After eliminating Liaoning Hongyun to enter the finals, it ushered in another peak - this time it was nearly 30 media that put forward interview requirements, this time the media not only included local media in Jiangcheng and Hubei Province, some very influential portals and even national media also appeared Longteng Club, CCTV Sports Channel even filmed an interview for the Longteng team.

The gradual increase in the number of fans at the Wuchang District Stadium is another example. When the Longteng team first played the second game, nearly 3,000 fans came to the first home game, in fact, many of these fans were employees of Longteng Group and Jiangsoft Technology Organization, and some of the later games were also cheerleaders invited by Longteng Club from major universities in Jiangcheng. These people come not only to invite them to watch the game, but some of them still have to pay a fee. For example, the club is responsible for the round-trip travel expenses of these groups - although they are all set up by bus or public transportation, which is not very expensive, and is responsible for distributing free mineral water to the people of these groups, etc. In addition, employees of affiliated companies cannot be invited to watch the game frequently, and the club has developed a large number of free tickets. Even so, the tickets are often given away, but no one comes to watch. The number of fans watching the home games has gradually remained at about 1,000 people.

However, the progress in the FA Cup step by step has made real fans gradually take the initiative to enter the stadium. After the FA Cup defeat to Evergrande, the home stadium of the Longteng team began to be lively, and people who didn't come to see the tickets before began to come to the stadium to watch the game with the mentality of "I will watch it and I won't get pregnant". Some fans took the initiative to spend 20 to 40 yuan to start buying tickets to watch the game. In their first home stadium after beating Evergrande, the crowd at the Longteng team reached the highest attendance in the club's history - nearly 6,000 fans came to watch the game, and about half of them took the initiative to buy tickets to enter the stadium.

After reaching the semi-finals of the FA Cup, the stadium was already saturated, and the club had to restrict the admission of fans in order to comply with laws and regulations. Even so, there are nearly 1w or more fans pouring into the stadium with only 1.2w seats per game. Moreover, the percentage of free viewing by the masses who watch the football is controlled to less than 5%. In other words, more than 9,000 fans of 1W have purchased tickets to enter.

In the final of the FA Cup, there was a rare scalper in Jiangcheng's ball market that had not been seen for many years, although this was partly caused by the club's mismanagement, but from another aspect, it also showed that the Longteng team had won the recognition of Jiangcheng fans. You must know that Jiangcheng Zhuoer, who is in the Chinese League in the same city, has never had so many fans watching the game. It was only in the most critical 2 and 3 games of Zall Chong's success that the Xinhua Road Stadium was full.

Zhang Zhijun is more satisfied with the government's attention to the team. The mayor of Jiangcheng at the age of 12 was a very senior fan. Several district leaders in Wuchang District, where Longteng Group's headquarters is located, also have a soft spot for football. However, relying on the Dragons' game in the second division alone is still not enough to make them turn their attention. However, the last few rounds of the FA Cup were different, and the leaders of the city and district came to the Longteng Club many times to do research or were invited to watch the game.

Zhang Zhijun also accompanies these leaders every time. At the club level, the arrival of these leaders has made a lot of promises to the Longteng team, creating a lot of convenience for the Longteng team in all aspects, and sometimes even directly financial help, such as the reduction of venue rental fees and support for the broadcast of football games.

This is even more significant for the Longteng Group behind the club. (To be continued.) )
