29. Assistant coaches in place

"Xiang Tiange's counterattack, the speed is really fast, in the face of Wei Zhimin, this is going to be a hard trip, it's over, beautiful. The ball went in, and the ball was played resolutely. It's so beautiful, a dragon on the right side has been killed, and Xiang Tiange's ball is incredible. Dong Lu shouted loudly.

"The two sides of the Longteng team are completely alive, one left and one right in the first half, snapping, one person to one. It's hard to prevent. Li Xin's eyebrows danced and analyzed, "In the past, most of the Longteng team's offenses were forwards, and the side assists were very sharp, but there were not many goals, but now from the last AFC Champions League to this league, the threat of the wingers to the goal has made the team form more flowers, and the tactics of the Longteng team are still improving." ”

In fact, after using the width of the court to open up the defense, quickly form an attack, and reduce the team's habit of playing slow-paced passing and controlling before shooting - always like to pass so many feet before shooting, and then attack the goal after the opportunity is completely out, which is something that Zhang Sheng has been emphasizing.

Due to the departure of Pato and Ben Arfa, the replacement players are too young, and the shooting ability is not developed enough, the shooting threat of the Longteng wingers has dropped very much, and Zhang Sheng has to hand over the responsibility of shooting to the two Zhengyin strikers.

Now with the growth of wingers like Xiang Tiange, Huang He, and Ni Kai, it is natural for them to share the task of shooting more goals, and the threat of the wingers of the Longteng team will become greater and greater in the future.

"Referee Ji Taimei blew the whistle, and the first half of the game was over. In the first half, it makes a big difference between one goal down and two goals behind. Dong Lu is worried about Huaxia Happiness, "Uh." Manuel Pellegrini, Pellegrini. As an engineer, he has a job to do as a midfielder. There should be a trade-off between beautiful football and practical football. ”

In fact, Li Xin is very clear about Dong Lu's so-called trade-offs, and this friend of his is a person who greatly admires the tactics of 45 degrees bombing and playing center.

Now Huaxia Happiness is not adapted to the Longteng team's clever off-ball running and high-intensity confrontation, and the gap in technical and tactical ability is not small, and the beautiful football you want can't be played, so it's really better to play it simply, Dong Lu's words are not unreasonable.

After the start of the second half, as Dong Lu said, Pellegrini replaced the inactive Yao Tian with Dong students, and played the tactics of a high school striker.

Dong Lu looked proud at this time: "It may be that the hero sees the same thing, Pei Shuai's thoughts are the same as mine." ”

After Dong Student came on the field, his fulcrum role was indeed not bad, frequently competing with Lu Zhihui and Liming for the header, and then letting Ravitch and Aloisio grab the second point.

Although this kind of scratch-and-win style of play is ugly, it makes good use of the ability of the two foreign aids, and their running and grabbing points are still higher than many domestic players.

In the first ten minutes of the second half, Huaxia Happiness put great pressure on the Longteng team, especially Aloisio's unsparing and energetic foreign aid made several defenders of the Longteng team obviously scramble.

In the twelfth minute of the second half, Dawn's lack of concentration in defense reappeared, he actually lost his position, and let Aloisio empty in the penalty area, the latter faced the passing half of the ball, completely regardless of whether he would be injured, and collided with Dawn, in the case of the two sides of the foot, the football bounced on Dawn, with a strange flight trajectory to the edge of the penalty area, and Ravitch was here.

In the face of the incoming ball, Ravic made a beautiful volley, and the football flew past Huang Dawei's ten fingers and flew into the net.

"Beautiful, Ravitch's long-range shot, so beautiful. Dong Lu looked proud, "If you see it, you just want to fight like this." Positional attacks cannot be penetrated, and chaotic warfare is the most practical. ”

After the goal, Ravitch was full of spring breeze and interacted with the fans in the stands, and the atmosphere of the scene reached a climax for a while.

Zhang Sheng frowned on the field and thought about it and made a decision - Dong Student always needs someone to give him a 45-degree pass, the more the passer is pressed back, the farther the pass is made, the worse the success rate and quality of the pass, with the long passing accuracy of the scum of domestic players, his two central defenders are much easier to deal with, especially Liming's weakness of liking to make occasional mistakes under high pressure is covered up too much.

Sure enough, after the players of the Longteng team strengthened the interference of the long pass, the offensive quality of Huaxia Happiness's side plummeted with the naked eye, and Dong Xuexue had to stay further away from the penalty area to receive the ball, and the two foreign aides were also completely pressed out by the Longteng team's defense.

In the 32nd minute of the second half, the Longteng team found an opportunity, and Liming faced a long pass mistake from Huaxia Happiness - the football took over Ravitch's head and flew directly to his feet - decisively handed the ball to Lu Yangyang and stepped forward to answer the pass.

Ravic carried the nearly one-meter-nine dawn and made a pebble to defend the stone, which was easily resolved by the dawn and received Lu Yangyang's pass, and Mbiya, as a defender, had to come over to help.

Under the sandwich of former teammates Zhu Xuhe and Mbia, Li Ming wisely stopped rushing with the ball and chose to hand over the ball to Qi Ming, Qi Ming made a straight plug in the midfield, Zeng Xingxing leaked the ball directly between his legs, Nie Jiang ran to the passing line, and the counterattack of the Longteng team came again.

is also a young player below U23, Huaxia Happiness's young central defender Gao Zhunyi made a mistake under Nie Jiang's continuous shaking, and he couldn't hold his breath and went to grab Nie Jiang's ball.

As a result, Nie Jiang easily pulled the ball and changed direction to accelerate the feint to complete the pass, facing the goalkeeper Yangcheng who attacked, Nie Jiang in the high-speed dribbling ball rubbed the ball up, and completed the picket lightly, and the football crossed the head of the desperate Yangcheng and fell into the net.

"Zeng Prosperity missed, Nie Jiang received the ball, passed Gao Zhunyi, a single knife, spoon, beautiful. The ball went in. Dong Lu was amazed by the goal of the Longteng team, "The process of this goal is too clear, the central defender inserted, and then quickly passed the dispatch of the back waist to complete the cooperation of the three people in the front, and finally completed the goal with a genius-like flowing spoon shot, which is simple and practical." ”

"Definitely. You have to say that this goal is not simple, it is simple. Li Xin analyzed with admiration, "Just three or four people participated in the attack, and the goal was completed." But you have to say that the bleaching is not beautiful, it is absolutely beautiful. Whether it's passing, leaking, passing or picking, the technical ability and the spectacle are full of fun. ”

"After completing two attacks on the wing, this time it was a complete penetration in the middle. Dong Lu shook his head, "Real multi-point flowering." Huaxia Happiness has to find a way here. ”

Although Dong Lu is still cheering up Huaxia Happiness, Huaxia Happiness has lost the confidence to equalize, and in the next game, the player's continuous long passes seem very casual, and the two foreign strikers also began to shoot waves, after all, there is not much time left in the game.

With the replacement of the Longteng team with Shen Jun, Cao Jinghao and Zhang Hao, the Longteng team deliberately slowed down the pace of the game, Cao Jinghao showed the players of Huaxia Happiness what is called a long pass like precision guidance, using the loopholes of Huaxia Happiness's chaotic fly-like attack that caused the disconnection between the front and back courts, and sent a few very beautiful back-up balls, almost helping the Longteng team expand the score again.

When the referee Ji Taimei blew the whistle at the end of the game, the Longteng team, which had been away from home and abroad, easily got 3 points away, which was really unexpected by many people.

There was also a lot of discussion about the game after the game.

Fans who watch the Chinese Super League have always been polite: "Huaxia Fortune used the world's top salary to buy foreign aid, used the top transfer fee of the Chinese Super League to introduce players from the Longteng team, and shouted that they wanted to play beautiful football." I thought it was a king, but I didn't expect it to turn out to be a bronze, especially the former Longteng team players who played long passes with the team. ”

After the completion of the two consecutive away games, the Dragon Teng team devil's AFC Champions League, league, and FA Cup three consecutive away matches came to the last game, and this time the Dragon Teng team needed to fly to Shanghai to challenge Shanghai Jiading Chengfa (Bo hit the sky).

This team is a satellite club of Shanghai SIPG, and there are several young players on loan from SIPG, but the actual strength of the team is relatively poor. Unlike in history, in the real world, they did not participate in the amateur league of the Chinese Football Association this year, but now there has been a change, and the team owner and general manager of the team, Shanghai Shenhua celebrity Wang Hongliang, may have seen the explosion of the football industry and participated in the amateur league in advance.

Perhaps this is also a real case of the Longteng team promoting the faster development of Chinese football.

Although it is a three-in-a-row away, Jiading Chengfa is also defending desperately at home, hoping to steal one, but the Longteng team with a full substitute lineup still easily ended the game 2:0 away, young players like Peng Langjun and Tian Qijie have the opportunity to start the game, and Tang Jin finally scored the first goal of his official professional game, and Ni Kai's goal ended the game.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is the Longteng team's defeat of Shanghai SIPG in the youth training again.

When Zhang Sheng returned to Jiangcheng on May 4 with the dusty Longteng team, he received a text message from Demichelis: "I am in China, and I just got off the plane. I don't know if it's inconvenient for you, so it's hard to say more. How do I get to you?"

"I'll pick you up. Although I was very tired from flying back from other places, I still had to be sincere to my good friend Zhang Sheng.

Soon, Zhang Sheng met at the airport in Demichelis.

"Long time no see. Demi came up to hug and greet Zhang Sheng, Zhang Sheng, who had been back to China for six or seven years, did not react at once, the atmosphere and environment in China are not used to this, but he quickly hugged Demi and patted Demi on the back.

"This time in China, just have a good time to play, I will send someone to accompany you, you can go wherever you want. Zhang Sheng said proudly, "I've got it." ”

After helping Demikelisla arrange the Longteng Group's own hotel next to the training base, Zhang Sheng's family of three accompanied him to have a beautiful meal.

As for Chinese cuisine, Demi learned Zhang Sheng's cooking skills when he was in Germany, but the level can also be eaten.

This time, Demi enjoyed it, and Zhang Sheng also knew his tastes, and tried his best to make sweet and sour dishes - in fact, most Europeans and Americans were not very accustomed to Chinese cuisine that was too oily, too spicy and heavy, which made Demi happy.

"I'm really embarrassed. In the chat after the meal, Zhang Sheng said apologetically, "Demi." I probably don't have much time to spend with you in China. But I'll arrange for the club to follow you, and if you need anything, I'll tell him when the time comes. ”

"Actually, in addition to relaxing, I also want to see if there are any new job opportunities. Demi was very direct, "I know you have a lot of connections on the German side, and as for the Chinese side, you are a godfather-like figure." ”

Zhang Sheng was a little embarrassed to be so straightforward about Demichelis's sycophancy. Considering that several Argentine foreign players before and after the Longteng team, Roque Gill, Chavez and De Paulo were all introduced by Demi's relationship, Zhang Sheng also had to help with this.

Of course, Demichelis is now a German A-licensed coach with experience as an assistant coach at an actual club, and with his ability, it is not too much of a problem to find an assistant coach position in the German league or lower, maybe he wants to go to a better team.

After arranging Demichelis, Zhang Sheng devoted himself to the team's affairs the next day, there were too many backlogs waiting for him, and the first thing was to communicate with the new assistant coach first.

The assistant coach introduced by Rangnick is Michael Genk, a coach with experience coaching teams in Asia. He worked as an assistant coach at Borussia Dortmund for top coaches such as Heathfield and later at Ingolstadt, where he helped Hasenhuttel lead Ingolstadt to the 2014-2015 Bundesliga title, but Hasenhuttl was soon poached by RB Leipzig and Michael Genk stayed at Ingolstadt.

Ingolstadt's record this year is not good, and Genk has always had some disagreements with the head coach, and the result is that now he has left the team, as an old subordinate of Hasenhuttel, I heard that the Dragons came to the Dragons under the guidance of Rangnick when they were recruiting assistant coaches.

Because there was a mutual acquaintance of the introducer, Zhang Sheng and Genk quickly chatted, and in mutual temptation, Zhang Sheng recognized the senior foreign coach.

The following weekend's Chinese Super League match was Genk's first test, against Liaoning Hongyun, who was deep in the relegation circle.

After selling a set of main lineups within two consecutive years, Liaoning Hongyun can be said to be terminally ill, and there are many Liaoning players in the national teams at all levels, but there is no player in Liaoning Hongyun, so you can see the bleakness of this club.

The Longteng team at home did not miss the opportunity, although it was after two weeks, four games and three consecutive away games, the team still easily defeated the opponent 4:0 at home, completing a wave of consecutive wins, of which Nie Jiang completed the first hat trick of the league this season.

Henk also successfully passed Zhang Sheng's preliminary assessment.
