3. Winter training begins

After Ding Huaiyi left, at the end of December, the Longteng team officially started the winter training of the 2015 season. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before this winter training, in fact, many Longteng players did not get enough rest, because after the FA Cup final and the Longteng team held a season summary meeting, only a week later, on December 1, the national team and the National Olympic team began training again, and on December 24, the U16 national team also began training.

The training camp for the national team is a little shorter, from December 7 to December 21, but then the players of the national team will participate in the 2015 Asian Cup held in Australia from January 9 to January 31, 2015, and the U16 national team will be held from January 6 to January 27, 2015, and the national Olympic team is a little sad, they have been training from December 5, 2014 to February 15, 2015, this time even missed the first game of the AFC Champions League qualifying match on February 10, once the Longteng team has passed the first gameEven in the second qualifying match on February 17, these players who returned to the team will definitely not be able to play.

What's even more outrageous is that Zhang Sheng got the news through the Hubei Provincial Football Association, the Chinese Football Association is also preparing to send the U16 national team to participate in the 2015 "ASEAN Cup" International Youth Football Invitational Tournament, this event is from the beginning of March 2015, if you add the time of the training camp, the players of the U16 national team in the Longteng team returned to China, and even the Chinese Super League played two rounds.

Zhang Sheng is very annoyed by this series of training camps for the national team, because no matter which echelon of the national team, there are a large number of Longteng team players, if it is really in accordance with the requirements of each echelon of national teams, the pre-season winter training of the Longteng team does not need to be carried out, and the players will simply go directly to play in the Chinese Super League next season.

Of course, there is good news, according to Zhang Sheng's news from the Hubei Provincial Football Association, at the 2015 season registration and transfer work conference of the Chinese Football Association to be held before New Year's Day, the reform plan for the registration of professional players will definitely be adopted.

Hubei Provincial Football Association, as a provincial football association that has made great achievements in recent years, has been "Jane in the heart of the emperor" for the Chinese Football Association in recent years, and many of the reform plans of the Chinese Football Association will solicit their opinions, and will also disclose the news to them in advance.

In Zhang Sheng's impression, the Chinese Football Association has indeed reformed the registration and qualifications of professional players this year.

First of all, they redefined the qualifications of professional football players, stipulating that as long as the income of the club is greater than the expenditure of the player, it is a professional player, and at the same time, the age of professional players has been adjusted from 18 to 16 years old, which means that players who have reached the age of 16 before the season registration deadline are eligible to register for the 2015 season of the Chinese Super League.

This is something that Zhang Sheng has been looking forward to, because there are so many players in the Longteng team who have reached the age of 16 that it is difficult to improve a lot in the reserve league and friendly matches, and it is time for them to participate in the Chinese Super League.

For example, like 17-year-old Nie Jiang, like Zhang Sheng, a 17-year-old goalkeeper Huang Dawei who is ready to be promoted to be the No. 2 goalkeeper, their ability values are close to or even more than 70, and there are 16-year-old and 17-year-old players in the team who have the ability to reach more than 60.

Zhang Sheng is ready to use them as substitutes, rotations, and even main players next season.

However, if they really agree to the call-up of the national team in one go, the winter training will lose its meaning to them, and then the Longteng team will be extremely difficult in the Chinese Super League next season.

Therefore, on the issue of player recruitment, Zhang Sheng and the Chinese Football Association have argued with reason, and this time the Hubei Provincial Football Association is not easy to speak.

After numerous phone calls, faxes, and even face-to-face discussions, both sides took a step back and reached a preliminary agreement.

Zhang Sheng and the coaching staff will go through their own lineup, and submit an acceptable list according to the personnel reserves and player abilities of the positions on the field.

In the goalkeeper position, Huang Dawei must not let go, as the first substitute goalkeeper next season, he must follow the team to train the whole process, and then Huang Dawei will be 17 years old at the end of February, according to the planning of the Chinese Football Association, the players in the U16 section are mainly born in 2000, and Huang Dawei in 1998 is not very interesting, because he will leave the team soon, and Nie Jiang is in the same situation as him.

In the position of central defender, Ma Yongli has gone to the national team, Du Zhenyu is the absolute defensive core of the National Olympic team, the other party refuses to let go, and Zhang Sheng can only let go, so at the age of 17, Zhang Sheng will not let people go.

In the position of fullback, the reserves of the Longteng team are relatively rich, so except for Wei Zhimin, Zhang Sheng of the personnel transferred by the national teams at all levels is all released, which can be regarded as giving the Football Association enough face.

Although the midfield is the most manpowered, it is the focus of training during this winter training period, and the focus of everyone's contradictions is here in the face of the national Olympic team and the U16 national team.

The National Olympic team wants to take Yao Tian, Zhu Xuhe, Yan Xiaoyu, Ni Kai, and Qu Wenming away, but Zhang Sheng resolutely disagrees, in Zhang Sheng's plan, Yan Xiaoyu, Ni Kai, and Qu Wenming will all be loaned to the Chinese League A team to play games, and they will be transferred, but Yao Tian and Zhu Xuhe, the two of them have been the main players in the Chinese League for a year, and their experience and ability have risen very fast.

In the end, after some bargaining, Zhu Xuhe was retained, and as Zhu Xuhe's replacement, Qi Ming was transferred to the National Olympic team.

The front line is also the focus of contention between the two sides, Zou Weijia, as Zhang Sheng's center forward who is ready to be corrected this season, it is impossible to let go anyway, but he is also the absolute main center of the National Olympic team, the National Olympic team insisted on being transferred away, and finally the two sides reached an agreement, he does not have to participate in the training of the National Olympic team, first participate in the winter training in the Longteng Club, and then go to the National Olympic team to report and participate in the game directly.

After this dispute, with the return of the national team players to report, the Longteng team finally gathered the players.

During the period of national team training and matches, they played three warm-up matches with Kyrgyzstan and Palestine, and in the face of a slightly weaker Kyrgyzstan, the Chinese team won both games, and its Chinese Kai as the main center forward, scored three goals in two games, which is considered to be infinite.

In the match against the slightly stronger Palestine, the players who had been tired all season looked very tired, and finally won 1:0 with a goal from Wu Lei, which was regarded as grabbing the FIFA ranking points for the Chinese team.

The players of the Longteng team also came back after a week's rest after finishing the game.

As the third place team in the league this season, the Dragons qualified for the AFC Champions League.

According to the previous AFC reform of the AFC for the 2015 and 2016 AFC Champions League, the AFC Champions League scoring standard consists of two parts, of which the national team results account for 30% and the club results account for 70%.

Although the performance of the Chinese national team has improved due to the emergence of Longteng Club players, the gap is still very large compared to Japan and South Korea, not to mention the results of the club, and the results before the K League and J League are much higher than those of the Chinese Super League.

Therefore, the ranking of East Asia, the first South Korea has 4 teams participating in the main competition, the second Japan has three teams participating in the main competition, China is trying to keep the third position, although there are four teams qualified to participate in the AFC Champions League, but only two directly enter the main competition, the other two teams must play the play-offs, according to the rules formulated by the Chinese Football Association itself, the league champion and the FA Cup champion qualify for the main competition, the second place in the league starts from the third and final round of the play-offs, and the third place in the league will start from the second round of the play-offs, and will play two more games than the team directly participating in the main competition。

Don't underestimate these two rounds, because if you want to pass the play-offs safely, the players must maintain their form, which means that you have to play two weeks earlier than others and start training more than half a month early.

Therefore, the players have less time off and less time to relax, which will have a very big impact on next season.

Zhang Sheng put the time of winter training to the end of December, which is already very sympathetic to the players, compared with other teams, such as Chongqing Lifan, which has just been promoted, has started winter training on December 1, and several teams that have succeeded in relegation, such as Henan Jianye, also started winter training on December 3, a little later like Beijing Guoan and Guizhou and around December 20, they have also begun to gather, only two directly participated in the main competition, Guangzhou Evergrande and Shandong Luneng have not yet started winter training.

As before, the returning players underwent a physical check-up as usual before developing a different training plan based on their actual situation.

Judging from the situation of this inspection, the players who have maintained their health well this holiday may not have been too good last season compared to the previous season, and the players also know that they should work harder, let alone touch Zhang Sheng's mold.

Seeing the report submitted by the physical coaching staff, Zhang Sheng was also very satisfied, it seems that he does not need to spend more time to adjust the physical condition of the players, and he can directly start his tactical transformation this season after a short adjustment.

After the team is concentrated, the first thing the Longteng team does is physical reserves.

Compared with the previous all-ocean class, the difference from the previous one is that there is an additional Chinese figure in the physical coaching team this time, and he is the physical trainer Huang Long summoned by the system.

After Huang Long came to the Longteng team, Zhang Sheng did not directly arrange him into the physical fitness team, but let him first familiarize himself with the requirements of the physical fitness coach of the Longteng Club, after all, the ability of the current physical fitness team of the Longteng team is absolutely one of the best in the Super League, and Huang Long does not have the ability to participate in it.

Huang Long imagined that he was working harder than Zhang Sheng, he did not think about waiting at the familiarization stage, but took the initiative to learn German, because he also knew that he would follow the German-dominated physical team in the future, no matter what the attitude of the other party, he must prepare in advance, and the most urgent thing is to learn the language, because everything is useless if the language is not understood.

Huanglong has been very hard during this time, all the time during the day is to study with the team, after work did not give himself any free time, immediately devoted to the study of German, Zhang Sheng is also very supportive of his learning, so that the club helped to find a German teacher with very rich teaching experience for German education.

Zhang Sheng actually didn't have much hope for Huang Long's learning this time, after all, a language is not so easy to master, but Huang Long's German progress really scared Zhang Sheng, after only more than a month of study, Huang Long was already able to stumble and Zhang Sheng in German.

Seeing this, Zhang Sheng continued to strengthen Huanglong's study time, and finally before the start of winter training, Huanglong was able to communicate happily with Leutard and Zetelmeisr.

Zhang Sheng had to sigh at the learning ability of the coach summoned by the system.

After entering the physical fitness team, Huang Long seemed very humble, he completely regarded himself as a student and a follower, the two Germans had any needs, they didn't need to say, a simple movement and eyes, Huang Long immediately stood up to execute.

For this Chinese who obviously came to steal the teacher, Loitard and Zetlmeisr were completely embarrassed, after all, no matter who it was, it was not easy to refuse to see such a courteous follower, and gradually the two of them began to like this Chinese.

This time, the physical reserve work was done very smoothly, and the team's nutritionist Chen Jian also contributed a lot.

In order to prepare for the pre-season this time, Chen Jian also went back to the United States to visit his doctoral supervisor and inquired in great detail about some recent advanced sports nutrition research trends of the supervisor.

For this Chinese who insisted on returning to China, the mentor was a little unhappy, and his visit this time was a little perfunctory.

After Chen Jian keenly found out, he began to change his routine and found his senior brother who had set up a laboratory independently, and this senior brother had previously worked in professional sports competitions in the United States and had rich practical experience.

Knowing that his senior brother was now very short of funds in the laboratory, Chen Jian used the funds provided by the club to open the way with money, and obtained a lot of precious information with a "labor fee" of a check of 5,000 US dollars, and established a long-term cooperative relationship with his senior brother.

Chen Jian, who returned to China with these materials, quickly used these advanced American experiences and theories, formulated a very scientific nutritious meal for the players in the team, and constantly made adjustments with the physical data of the players fed back by the physical fitness team every day, which made great contributions to the players' pre-game physical reserves.
