The Super League has changed dramatically this season.

First of all, in the AFC Champions League, all four Chinese Super League teams qualified as group winners, which not only frightened fans of other Asian countries, but even the fans of the Chinese Super League themselves couldn't believe it.

The same big change has taken place in the Chinese Super League.

In the past, several old strong teams, after eight rounds, in addition to Shanghai SIPG and Shanghai Greenland Shenhua are still in the top eight, such as Shandong Luneng and Beijing Guoan, they have actually fallen into the relegation zone.

The two teams, one with seven points and the other with six points, became a pair of difficult brothers.

Such a result has set off a huge wave among the fans of the two clubs, but they have always regarded themselves as the veteran team of Chinese professional football and the traditional giants of the Chinese Super League.

For this phenomenon, some scold the players, some scold the manager, and some point the finger at the club's management.

In the midst of the disturbances, the second team of the Dragons ushered in the FA Cup.

This game made the Longteng team feel very weird, because the opponent was also Jiangcheng's team, but it was not Jiangcheng Zhuoer, but it was a team that even Jiangcheng Zhuoer was afraid of - Jiangcheng Hongxing team.

When Zhang Sheng saw this opponent, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

I think that at the beginning, I have not crossed, there is an amateur team, I want to compete with a "high-level" team like Jiangcheng Hongxing, at the wine table of the business, I am boasting about Haikou, saying that I want to avenge the customer's home team Jiangsu Suning, I didn't expect it to be a prophecy, and now it is really a dream to meet Jiangcheng Hongxing.

Zhang Sheng couldn't know the bottom line of this team, in history, Jiangsu Suning was chased by the whole court when playing with them, although Jiangcheng Hongxing is the landlord and has the "home advantage", but that kind of move is indeed a bit too unscrupulous.

Now it's their turn to meet them, it is conceivable that the bigwigs of Hongxing will never let go easily, even if the Longteng Group is one of the best groups in Jiangcheng, you still have to be careful, you don't see the history of Zall Group as the richest group in Jiangcheng and Hubei Province, its club is still to avoid such a team, let let the son of a daughter, sit down.

Sure enough, after the start of the game, the actions on the field made these little players of the Longteng team seem to be on the battlefield, holding and falling, flying tackles, elbow strikes, and various fouls are endless, and the referee has to compromise on such actions, because once a card appears, the players of Hongxing are like those energetic civil organizations on TV, and they are vicious and eager to beat people.

This kind of game is basically to play for five minutes and stop for one minute, and at the beginning of the second half, Hongxing began to lie on the grass, and the eleven players on the field took turns to lie down, and even the goalkeeper got the ball, so he threw it aside, holding his leg to show cramps.

Zhang Sheng was directly speechless on the sidelines, your goalkeeper ran less than a thousand meters, and he began to cramp, such a disabled body, go to a nursing home, why did you come to participate in the game.

Finally, in the 25th minute of the second half, the Longteng team scored with a header from Zou Weijia to break the deadlock on the field and turn the score into 1:0.

None of these players in Jiangcheng Hongxing stopped cramping, and they began to attack desperately.

It's a pity that in the face of a team like the Longteng team, even if it is the second team, it is not something that Jiangcheng Hongxing can resist, maybe at the beginning of the physical fitness, you can still rely on fouls, rely on hard work to play a game, once the second half is not enough, the counterattack after losing the ball means conceding the ball again.

Sure enough, in the thirtieth minute of the second half, the Longteng team expanded the score to 2:0 by Ni Kai.

Such a score made Jiangcheng Hongxing's side begin to break the jar and fall, after the goal of Ni Kai was violated by the opponent, although the fouling player was directly sent off the field with a red card, but Ni Kai was also injured and went down, Zhang Sheng had to replace him with Ahmat.

In the 36th minute of the second half, after the Longteng team relied on Yu Bo to score another goal, the Hongxing team gave up resistance.

In the end, the game also ended 3:0, and Zhang Shengzhi fulfilled his promise before the crossing.

As a result, as soon as the game ended, the players of the Jiangcheng Hongxing team surrounded the referee, saying that the referee favored the Chinese Super League team, thinking that they lost to the Longteng team, who were on average eighteen or nineteen years old on the field, because the referee bullied them.

Zhang Sheng also looked incredible on the sidelines, who gave them the confidence to think that they could defeat the Longteng second team, which is generally composed of players at the national youth, national youth team and even the national team level.

So although the game was over, Zhang Sheng was not ready to let go of this notorious team.

Ni Kai's injury alone made Zhang Sheng want to ban everyone in the Jiangcheng Hongxing team.

Through the media, Zhang Sheng found someone to break the news that more than half of the players in Jiangcheng Hongxing's competition this time were impostors, and presented the names and photos of these players.

As a person who is also in the Jiangcheng football circle, Zhang Sheng is really handy to find these evidences.

Next, another enthusiastic fan directly reported this information to the Chinese Football Association.

In view of the siege of the referee by the Jiangcheng Hongxing team after the game, and the evidence provided by the whistleblower, the Chinese Football Association rarely sent a special person to Jiangcheng to investigate.

In the end, the results of the investigation into the organized and premeditated large-scale use of impersonating players and non-compliance with game discipline in the game were established.

After deliberation by the Chinese Football Association, the heaviest and most severe fine in history came out.

First of all, Jiangcheng Hongxing was disqualified from registration, fined 200,000 yuan, originally according to the routine, the score of the game should be punished to 0:3, but the score of the game itself was 0:3, and the result was not announced.

Secondly, the 6 players who impersonated in this game and the foul players who tackled Ni Kai on the field were all punished with a lifetime ban from participating in football activities.

In the end, the impostor in this game also affected the Jiangcheng Football Association.

Historically, after the impostor came out, the Jiangcheng Football Association had the obligation to explain the phenomena of reasonable impersonation and poor security to the public, but in the end there was no follow-up.

This time it was different, because the matter was very big, some media chased and asked, and even the People's Daily reported the matter, and the Jiangcheng Football Association was investigated by the Jiangcheng Sports Bureau.

Because of such a thing as impersonation, without the great assistance of insiders, it is a completely impossible task.

For a national-level competition such as the FA Cup, each team must submit a complete list of players before the start of the tournament, and the tournament organizer will have a strict review, the players' photos, names, and dates of birth will be collected uniformly, and the organizer will make a participation card to indicate the key information. Therefore, all players must submit a second-generation ID card to enter into the second-generation ID card recognition system.

Before the specific number of games, the referee or game supervisor will take the list of players with photos issued by the game, and compare them with the players themselves and their participation cards one by one.

The specific inspection process is carried out in the player tunnel, and the players of both sides are required to line up for inspection, but after the inspection is completed, they will wait in place for a short time before entering the game, and the only possible operation is at this time.

Imposter players can take advantage of this time to return to the locker room with various reasons, and then swap players in the locker room.

But like Jiangcheng Hongxing, it is really unbelievable that nearly half of the team has been changed.

Such substitutions were made under the watchful eyes of the referee team and the opposing team, and it is incredible that none of the players impostor replaced by Jiangcheng Hongxing appeared in the list of players in this FA Cup.

Under the strict rules, with the Chinese Football Association sending game supervisors and fourth officials, there is a large-scale replacement of players, which can no longer be just a unilateral act of Jiangcheng Hongxing.

In the end, after investigation, it was found that some personnel of the Jiangcheng Football Association and their relatives accepted bribes from the company behind the Jiangcheng Hongxing Club, that is, Boren Investment Management Co., Ltd., and asked the people of the Jiangcheng Football Association to help find excuses to attract the attention of the staff sent by the Chinese Football Association, delay the waiting time, and then let the Jiangcheng Hongxing team complete the plan of changing the tanuki for the prince.

As a result, the bribe-takers of Boren Investment were convicted of bribery and sentenced to three years in prison, while some of the bribe-takers were sentenced to five years in prison.

Such a result is far more serious than the historical crusade on the Internet, and Zhang Sheng can be regarded as helping the country clean up a batch of moths.

After the game, Zhang Sheng went to comfort Ni Kai for the first time. As a player called up with Royce as a template, injuries are a shadow that Ni Kai can't get rid of, but even so, Zhang Sheng hopes that he will be injured as little as possible, because for a player like Ni Kai who has an advantage in speed and technology, the impact of injury on these two advantages is too great.

It can be said that if he suffers a key injury, once he does not recover well, his two skills will be severely frustrated.

"Luckily, I have the skills of a hygienist, otherwise it would be really difficult. Zhang Sheng said silently in his heart.

Ni Kai was injured in his left ankle this time, and his ankle flexibility is very high, which is also the main reason why his foot skills are superb, but his overly flexible ankle makes his ankle ligaments a little thinner than the ligaments of elite athletes, so there is a great potential for injury in the fierce confrontation.

In order to prevent the injury from being neat and eager to come back and get injured again, Ni Kai originally hoped to return to the court as soon as possible, but a long conversation between Zhang Sheng and him made him give up this idea.

"I know what you're thinking. To Ni Kai lying on the hospital bed, Zhang Sheng said solemnly, "Now the competition in the team is very fierce, you have a lot of teammates are staring at the opportunity to play, but the body is the first place, whether it is your career or life after retirement, the body is always more important than other things." I can promise you that as long as you recuperate from your injury, you will definitely have a place in the team when you come back. ”

Hearing Zhang Sheng's comfort, Ni Kai was also relieved: "Got it, coach." I'll listen to the team doctor. ”

"That's right. As our first coach of Longteng, there will be many days to be cheered by the fans in the future. Zhang Sheng also made a joke with Ni Kai at the right time.

Ni Kai, a young man, not only copied Royce's skills, but also copied his "beauty", and has always been considered by fans from the outside world to be the most handsome player in the Longteng Club, and is very loved by Longteng fans.

Of course, Zhang Sheng's promise to Ni Kai is not based on his handsome face, but the team does need a player like Ni Kai.

Ben Alpha is destined to leave the team for France in the middle of the league, so in the position on the left side, choosing a fast, good technique, with a certain ability to shoot and organise has been put on the agenda of Zhang Sheng and the coaching staff.

The current Longteng team is actually not short of players on the left side.

From the captain Zhou Zhou, to the foreign aid De Paul, from the club's "old man" Yu Bo, to Cao Jinghao, who joined the team almost with Ni Kai, and finally there are newcomers like Gong Yuzhe, the Longteng team has a lot of choices in this position.

But looking at these players, except for De Paul, who has a certain ability to break through quickly on the left side, the others are not of this type, not to mention that De Paul is also a player who mainly plays on the right side.

Although Zhou Zhou is the captain, he has slowly lost the opportunity to play, Yu Bo is suitable for entanglement battles, Cao Jinghao is a player who cooperates more than breakthroughs, and Gong Yuzhe is too young and needs to hone more.

Only Ni Kai can change the pace of attack on the left side, but also deliver good balls, and also have the ability to shoot on goal.

That is to say, when the team can't open the situation in the future, Ni Kai will inevitably need to go up.

After comforting Ni Kai, Zhang Sheng also relieved himself, now the team is in the predicament of the third-line battle, and he has too many things to do, like next, Zhang Sheng will face another old man.

On May 14, the Longteng team will face Hebei Huaxia Happiness at their home stadium, which is also the focus of this round of the Chinese Super League.

After the start of this season, although Hebei Huaxia Happiness, as a new local tyrant, is a promoted horse, it is a prosperous person in the Chinese Super League.

After eight rounds of league games, they are ranked fifth, and the Longteng team is only three points apart, in their first few rounds of games, there is no shortage of old giants in the Chinese Super League like Beijing Guoan, but also has Guangzhou R&F such a Chinese Super League backbone, not to mention the collision with Jiangsu Suning such a super tyrant, but in these games, they have not tasted defeat.

The record of five wins, two draws and one loss has made Li Gang now known as an "excellent young local coach".

This round of the match is not only a contest between the top ranked teams, but also a duel between Zhang Sheng and Li Gang, former teammates of the Magic Water Youth Team, the youngest two local coaches in Chinese football today, and a pair of good friends.

If you count the four former Longteng team players Deng Chaoqun, Zhu Xuhe, Yao Tian and Wei Zhimin in the current Hebei Huaxia Happiness Team, plus a bunch of youth coaches poached by Hebei Huaxia Happiness from the Longteng Club and the football school, this can be said to be a duel between the first team of the Longteng team and the second team of the Longteng team.
