56. Bite hard

According to the news that Zhang Sheng understands, Paulinho's replacement candidates are not these, as for what Chilean star Vidal is more unreliable, as Chile's midfielder, Vidal, who is working hard for Chile's World Cup qualification, will definitely not leave Bayern, with his current strength, he will not leave Europe, because in general, the Chinese Super League is more of a retirement home for stars.

The more reliable news is that Evergrande is now in contact with Liverpool's Brazilian player Lucas Rewa.

This is a player whose quality is far greater than his fame.

A 10-year veteran of the Reds, he has never fallen behind in the competition with Steven Gerrard, Mascherano and Xavi Alonso. The reason why his reputation is not obvious is mainly because he plays in the back midfield, with little attention, plus he has a gentle personality and is low-key, and he is not chased by the media.

Evergrande pays attention to him, in addition to his ability is really strong enough, his low value is also a big reason.

What's more, there are too many young midfielders in Liverpool such as Coutinho, Lallana, Wijnaldum, Milner, Henderson, Emre Can and so on, which has compressed Lucas Rewa's playing time, and he needs more games as he is fighting for a place in the Brazilian national team at the 2018 World Cup.

In real history, Lucas Rewa transferred to Serie A Lazio at a low price of 5.5 million euros, and in the next two seasons, he showed his ability at the core level, and Lazio can be said to have made a lot of money.

Getting the attention of the Brazilian national team coach at Guangzhou Evergrande is obviously in line with Lucas Rewa's expectations.

The biggest question that plagues Guangzhou Evergrande now is whether and when Paulinho will go.

This year's summer transfer window for the Chinese Super League is from June 19 to July 14, while La Liga's 2017 summer transfer window will not end until September 2.

In other words, La Liga has enough time to bring in Paulinho, while Guangzhou Evergrande must decide whether to buy players within 2 days, and the two sides are too unequal.

Until the evening of July 13, Guangzhou Evergrande did not make any official announcement on the introduction of foreign aid, the only thing was to let Kim Yingquan, who had returned from a serious injury, sign up for the competition, but instead withdrew Kim Hyung-yi and J-Martinez from the registration list.

At this time, Zhang Sheng knew that Guangzhou Evergrande was betting that Paulinho would not leave.

On July 14, the 2017 Chinese Super League summer window transfer was closed, and the most deserted summer window transfer in the history of the past five years came to an end.

On the same day, the Longteng team met the challenge of Jiangsu Suning at the home of Jiangcheng, and what no one probably expected was that this was the match between the top of the league and the vice squad leader of the league.

You must know that last season, Suning still participated in this season's AFC Champions League in the name of the third place in the league, and the result was in a blink of an eye, and this season reached the 16th round, and Jiangsu Suning ranked last in the league.

What is surprising is that although Jiangsu Suning is playing in the league at this time, the team is really a three-way battle, going hand in hand.

In the AFC Champions League, Jiangsu Suning qualified with an unbeaten record of the first place in the group, and even in the quarterfinals, they and Shanghai SIPG were inseparable, losing by only one goal in both legs.

In the FA Cup, they successfully advanced to the quarter-finals in the last round against Shanghai Shenxin, a team in the Chinese League, and it is likely that they will continue to move forward.

The two-sided nature of the matter is very obvious in the physical performance of the Jiangsu Suning team.

The third-tier battle certainly gives the team hope that it is still breathing a sigh of relief, but it is also the main culprit for the team to finish bottom of the league.

Fortunately, they are out of the AFC Champions League.

Choi Yong-so, the head coach who led the team to this point, also stepped down, and Fabio Capello, who is as famous as the Chinese national team coach Silver Fox Lippi, took over the team.

Capello's honors and resume do not need to be repeated, as long as you are a fan who knows a little about football, you know the qualifications of this master.

To be able to take over Jiangsu Suning, which is at the bottom of the league, when many coaches are discouraged, the club should be grateful to the old coach for his responsibility.

Of course, Jiangsu Suning did not let go of the life-saving opportunity in the summer window, and the reinforcements of Mukanjo and Sainsbury can be said to be the lifesaver for the team's relegation.

When Cui Yongzhu was leading the team, Jiangsu Suning insisted on his offensive football style of play, and he always wanted to copy the three-center-back tactics from the South Korean team, which made Suning, who had never played three-center-back, at a loss.

In the AFC Champions League, the 7-0-3 style of play allows three strong foreign players to play counterattacks from other strong teams in Asia on the front line, and it can still work repeatedly, but in the league, it is the turn of others to play Jiangsu Suning's counterattack.

Coupled with the problems of physical fitness and injuries in the third-line battle, it is not for nothing that Suning ranks last in the league.

After Capello took over the team, the biggest change was that the defense has improved, of course, this is related to the "1:0 doctrine" that Capello has always adhered to, and the Italian coach has always had a hand in adjusting the defense.

At the same time, unlike Choi Yong-so's local players who opened their feet in the backfield and the three foreign aides in the front court were abrupt, Capello's counterattack was obviously smoother. In the four games since he took over, although the team has not won a victory, it is not easy to draw two strong teams in a row, Beijing Zhongbo Guoan and Shanghai Greenland Shenhua, after all, the team has been suffering from a long illness, and the players' morale is almost gone.

Under such circumstances, Capello led the team to Jiangcheng.

In this game, Mukanjo just joined the team, his body still needs to be adjusted, and he is completely unfamiliar with his teammates, so he is watching from the wall, but the absolute main force of Suning's wing, the former Longteng player Xiao Yunfan, who was seriously injured at the beginning of the season, returned from injury, plus Zhou Zhou, who is also a former Longteng player, Suning's two wings that Suning relied on last season reappeared.

Capello played a 3-5-2 formation in this game, trying to make full use of the ability of the two wide players, and the effect was really good, and the two former Longteng players sprinted back and forth in the first half, giving the Longteng team a lot of threat.

However, in the fourteenth minute of the first half, the injury of Wu Xi, the core of the midfield, made Suning greatly discouraged, and the Longteng team, which had the advantage on the field, completely controlled the rhythm of the game.

At the end of the first half, Nie Jiang's brace easily gave the Longteng team the lead.

After De Paul scored another goal in the second half, although he also retired injured, the victory of the Dragons was irreversible. Jiangsu Suning's side just relied on Jiang Ming's attack too aggressively before the end of the game and scored a face-saving goal.

After the game, Zhang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, not because the team won - it should have been three points in the face of the last place, but because under the effect of the two advanced tactical shaping accelerators, the coordination between Jiang Mingming and the defender was obviously much more familiar.

As for the conceded goal, it was entirely a matter of Jiang Mingming's own ability. First Literature

It should be said that Huang Dawei's injury is very unfortunate, and the fortunate thing in the misfortune is that during the period after his injury, the game of the Longteng team was not too intensive, and it was a game a week for three consecutive weeks, which gave the Longteng team a chance to breathe - Zhang Sheng desperately used items to pile up, and the coaching staff tried every means to strengthen defensive training.

Otherwise, Jiangsu Suning is a lesson from the past, and the Longteng team is likely to usher in a third-line rout.

Maybe the top three teams have a tacit understanding, when they want to draw, everyone draws together, and when they win, everyone wins together, in this round of games, Evergrande defeated a strong team like Shandong Luneng at home, and SIPG also won Yanbian Fude.

The points of the three teams are still very tight, and no one dares to relax.

In midweek, the three teams finally had a double match in a week, and the FA Cup was once again ignited.

This year's FA Cup quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals will be played against teams of different divisions, with the teams ranked lower in the tournament first, and the teams in the same competition category playing against the teams ranked higher in the previous year's league will be the first team to play against the teams in the same competition.

So after the game with Jiangsu Suning, the Longteng team flew directly to Shanghai, the last game was a little injured, and De Paul, who needed to rest for a week, stayed in Jiangcheng.

Against Shanghai Shenhua, the whole team of the Longteng team has been holding back a lot of energy, because the only defeat of the Longteng team this season, and it was a home defeat thanks to Shenhua.

For this reason, even if there are two games a week, Zhang Sheng still did not make too many rotations, except for De Paul who was replaced by Ni Kai due to injury, Tao Wentao was slightly lacking in physical fitness, and Zeng Prosperity rotated, all other positions were all on the court.

The coaching staff also arranged a lot of tactics to deal with Shenhua at home before the game, and Hongkou Football Stadium is one of the famous devil's home stadiums in the Chinese Super League.

When it came to the game, the Longteng team, which had been so carefully prepared, was like a fist hitting the cotton. It's not that Shenhua coped properly, and the Longteng team was powerful and had nowhere to go, but the goal came too easily.

In the third minute of the first half, Shenhua's central defender Bi Jinhao kicked directly without knowing the so-called clearance, and the football ghost ran to the feet of Nie Jiang in the penalty area, how could Nie Jiang let go of such an opportunity, he easily pushed successfully, and the Longteng team led 1:0.

The kick-off ball was conceded early, Shenhua's deployment seemed to be half ineffective, Martins in the frontcourt, Tevez and Moreno made repeated mistakes, and the offense was a mess.

In the fifteenth minute of the first half, the Longteng team scored again. Shenhua's conceded goal came from a passing error in the front court, the Longteng team counterattacked with the ball, and Bi Jinhao, who was called by Shenhua fans to turn around like an aircraft carrier, was completely blown up by Ni Kai's speed, and the latter's single knife went to the next city, and the Longteng team led 2:0.

In the 33rd minute of the first half, another central defender of Shenhua, Li Jianbing, put down Chavez in the penalty area, not to mention his yellow card, and let the Longteng team get a penalty, which successfully took the penalty he created, and the score became 3:0.

"It's really miserable. Lou Yicheng, who commented on the game, complained, "Shenhua's offense is disorganized, and the defense is a mess, and if you continue to fight like this, it is very likely to be beaten." ”

Fortunately, the players of the Longteng team were able to carry it clearly, and after taking a three-goal lead, they took the initiative to slow down the rhythm, Li Jianbing's foul just now was obviously a little unbalanced, and everyone didn't want to get hurt.

In the second half, Shenhua made a substitution, replacing Bi Jinhao and replacing the teenager Jiang Shenglong.

This is actually a change influenced by Zhang Sheng.

In real history, Shenhua did not complete the acquisition of Genbao 9900 echelon until the beginning of 2018, and now it is more than half a year ahead of schedule.

There are three batches of Chongming manufacturing in Xu Lao. The first batch of players Wu Lei and Zhang Linpeng are currently the main players of the national team, and the second batch is the current SIPG team 19931994 age players, such as the current SIPG main defender He Xi.

At the end of 2014, after Xu Genbao sold all the shares of Shanghai East Asia Football Club to SIPG Group, he re-leveled to build Chongming Genbao Football Club, and this group of young players in the 1999-2000 age group also became the third batch of Chongming manufacturing.

In the same year, Greenland became the owner of Shenhua.

Because of a series of commotion operations by Zhu Jun, the former owner of Shenhua, when Greenland took over, the entire club could be said to be a miasma, and the construction of the echelon was completely stagnant, and Greenland had to re-establish Shenhua's youth training system.

In that year, Greenland acquired the 9596 echelon of Lucky Star as a whole, this youth training institution is the result of the painstaking efforts of Shanghai celebrities Shen Si and Qi Hong, not to mention that the two of them were imprisoned for match-fixing and so on, at least in this regard, I have to admit their contribution to Chinese football.

In fact, there are a lot of good seedlings in this team, such as Li Xiaoming, the best newcomer in the past, such as Gao Zhunyi, Wei Zhen, Hu Ruibao, Lei Wenjie, who later became famous, including Xu Junmin, Chen Zhao, and Xu Tianyuan, who were able to gain a foothold in the Chinese Super League, were all from this team.

However, at this time, these players are also famous for Li Xiaoming, and other abilities are temporarily insufficient, and they can't catch up.

After Greenland took over, in order to ensure the team's results, there were many people who were bought, and many players in the Longteng team were bought by them, but in order to form instant combat power, most of the players bought were mature.

Like Xu Di, Sun Yu, and Wen Kai are all 87 or 88 years old, and they are all close to and over 30 years old.

Shenhua's fans have been joking: "Everyone is playing U23, we are playing U35." ”

A change of blood for the entire team is imminent.

Compared with Shenhua, Shanghai's other team, Shanghai SIPG, benefited from the first and second batches of Genbao's youth training team, and the age structure of the team is very reasonable.

Then there is a strange phenomenon in Genbao's 9900 echelon - whether it is the player or the parents of the player, they don't want to go to Shanghai SIPG, which has better results, but wants to go to Shenhua.

Of course, the battle for Genbao's 9900 echelon is not so simple, and in the process of negotiation, at least three local tyrant clubs of the Chinese Super League have intervened.

Guangzhou Evergrande once offered a price of up to 150 million yuan to buy this team as a whole.

Genbao's meaning is relatively clear, that is, Evergrande will only be considered if the two Shanghai clubs, Shenhua and SIPG, do not want people. In the end, after Genbao held a parent-teacher meeting with the players, most of the parents' opinion was to let their children go to Shenhua.

Parents believe that due to the weak echelon of Shenhua, their children will have more room for development in the club in the future, and there will be more opportunities - and the money will be relatively more.

Of course, speaking of the heritage, the "Shenhua feelings" that are actually like a fig leaf for the team also play a certain role, after all, Shenhua was once brilliant in Shanghai.

This is the process of Greenland Shenhua's acquisition of Genbao's 9900 echelon in real history.
