After the players of the Longteng team returned to the club, Zhang Sheng asked them about their physical condition, and gave them a day off with a wave of his hand, so that they could rest and rest, and prepare to go to Shanghai to challenge Shanghai Shenxin in three days.

At the same time, Zhang Sheng also ushered in the two coaches called by the system, this time the two coaches are very young, they are the kind of complete grassroots coaches.

The goalkeeper coach is only 31 years old this year, and the staff of the human resources department of Longteng Football School found it from the Jiangcheng Amateur League, in the Jiangcheng Division of the Chinese Football Association Amateur League that just ended in early September, although the coach's Jiangcheng Bashu string team has only been formed for a short time, but under his guidance, the team went all the way to the semi-finals, only to meet the powerful Jiangcheng Hongxing in the semi-finals and failed.

They fought all the way, many games were 2-1, 1-0 such scores, the team's goalkeeper was a great contribution, of course, such results are inseparable from the guidance of goalkeeper coach Gong Qiang, and finally he was also favored by the people of Longteng Football School and came to the club.

The other physical trainer is a physical trainer of the martial arts gym, his name is Huang Long, he works part-time at the Yichang branch of Longteng Football School because he likes football, and he has been among the best in the training assessment of Longteng Football School in this few months, and was recommended to officially join Longteng Football School, and he is also very young - only 28 years old.

One of these two coaches came down from the previous echelon of Hubei Province, and the other has the Asian Physical Fitness Coach Certificate issued by the AASFP (Asian Sports and Physical Fitness Professional College).

After talking to them separately and understanding their basic coaching level, Zhang Sheng asked them to officially join Longteng Football School and began to intern with Tafarel and the physical coaching staff respectively, hoping that the two of them could work hard to learn from the experience of these masters.

After arranging these two coaches, Zhang Sheng took the team to Shanghai, and Zhang Sheng was very cautious in this game, because the game was not easy to play.

This game is already the 28th round of the Chinese Super League this season, with three rounds to go, so it's time for every team to fight – especially for relegation teams, teams who want to qualify for the AFC Champions League and teams that have a chance to win the title.

And the opponent this time is Shanghai Shenxin, who regards this game as the last straw.

This season's Shanghai Shenxin is very different from other teams in history, and their success in relegation in history is largely due to the fact that they have got the points they deserve - six points against a relegation opponent like Harbin Yiteng.

And now because of the emergence of the Longteng team to replace Harbin Yi Teng's success, their results are a big difference, for a relegation team, a point is a life-saving, and even sometimes the goal difference and the relationship between victory and defeat are life-saving, not to mention 6 points.

Now Shanghai Shenxin only has a mere 19 points, they are 3 points less than Liaoning Hongyun, don't Dalian Albin 4 points less, if this game does not score points, there is basically no hope of relegation, so they attach great importance to this game at home, even if they can't get 3 points, get a draw can also make them hang their lives again.

In the game, they also showed very hard, after the opening of the home game, they gave the Longteng team a dismount, just 2 minutes into the game, they took advantage of a free kick in the front, Wang Yun scored a header, which is too important for the team.

Shanghai Shenxin, who scored a goal, did not hesitate to start defending on the whole line, except for putting Utaka, the extremely fast "fierce Zhang Fei" on the front line, all the players returned to the half, hoping to be able to hold the three points.

Zhang Sheng on the sidelines was very angry, because Wang Yun belonged to the kind of relatively thin player who was only 177 tall and weighed only 77 kilograms, and a bunch of tall people in the Longteng team's penalty area actually let others head the ball and score, which was really embarrassing.

Seeing the angry Zhang Sheng, the players on the field also knew that they had made a big mistake and began to attack with all their might, but unfortunately there were not many ways to defend against the iron bucket formation, and until the end of the first half, the Longteng team still fell behind with a score of 0:1.

In the midfield lounge, Zhang Sheng kept silent with a cold face, and the players were cautious one by one for fear of being caught by Zhang Sheng.

In the end, Shu Jun, who was the captain, stood up and said: "Coach, our performance disappointed you, but we promise that the score will definitely be overtaken in the second half." ”

Zhang Sheng replied coldly: "How can you overtake, press them all, and then fight back for others to steal one?"

Shu Jun hurriedly explained: "No, we will mobilize them to run more, and then use the cooperation of the front court to score goals, and once they lose the ball, they will immediately counterattack, so that they will not have the opportunity to counterattack." ”

"Hmph!" Zhang Sheng made a noncommittal nasal voice, and then said: "Since you know how to do it, I won't say it, I just want the result." ”

After the start of the second half, the Longteng team began to use Shu Jun's tactics to play, and sure enough, after leading the players of Shanghai Shenxin to run for more than 20 minutes, their physical fitness problems, and then Ding Huaiyi used his skills to suddenly break through and succeed, and shot into the penalty area to turn the score into 1:1.

The score was forced to draw the Shanghai Shenxin players are obviously a little unwilling, the temptation of 3 points is far stronger than a point, when they want to try again with a wave of attack, they almost ate the bitter fruit of greed, the Longteng team cut off the opponent's attack, played a high-quality counterattack, Ding Huaiyi and Pato in the front, Ben Alpha played a beautiful match, and finally Ding Huaiyi was tripped in the penalty area, the Longteng team won a penalty, but unfortunately Pato's penalty shot was saved by Shanghai Shenxin's goalkeeper Liu Dianzuo.

Shanghai Shenxin, who was scared out of a cold sweat, decisively stopped attacking, no matter how much one point is better than zero points, and their head coach Cheng Yaodong began to change, he removed a forward midfielder and replaced it with a back midfielder, and then replaced a fullback who couldn't run, and replaced a defender, just to keep this point.

Zhang Sheng also began to make substitutions when he saw that the athletic battle could not break the opponent's defense, he replaced Wen Kai with Zou Weijia and McGovern with Lu Zhihui, wanting to use Zou Weijia and Lu Zhihui's height and header advantage to play a role in set-pieces.

However, the game lasted until overtime, and Shanghai Shenxin maintained the score of 1:1.

In the last minute of extra time, the Longteng team got a corner kick with a long-range shot from Ding Huaiyi, and the players of the Longteng team rushed to Shen Xin's penalty area, obviously Shen Xin was very afraid of Lu Zhihui's header and sent many people to defend him, but they ignored Zou Weijia, a young player, after Ivo drove the ball out, Lu Zhihui took away the players who defended him, Zou Weijia jumped high, and a powerful header broke through the gate guarded by Liu Dianzuo, and the score became 1:2, and the Longteng team reversed.

After the goal, Zou Weijia celebrated wildly, he also took off his jersey regardless of the consequences of taking a yellow card, and waved it vigorously, this goal is too important for the Longteng team, and the team kept the hope of competing for the championship in the end.

Zhang Sheng also applauded Zou Weijia happily, this young player showed a superior psychological quality, and was not easily discouraged because of his youth, and the reserve strength of the Longteng team on the front line is still very strong.

In the face of Zou Weijia's goal, Shanghai Shenxin was desperate, because after this loss, their current 19 points have basically bid farewell to the Chinese Super League.

Zou Weijia's celebration was unsurprisingly yellow carded, but he didn't care at all, the striker had fewer cards, not to mention that he was still a substitute striker, and the importance of three points and the coach was far more important than this yellow card.

Soon after kick-off again, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the Longteng team pushed their opponents into the abyss of relegation with a 2-1 defeat away from home, while they kept their hopes of winning the title alive.

In the other two games in this round, Guangzhou Evergrande and Beijing Guoan also won, but the next game will be Guangzhou Evergrande home against Beijing Guoan.

After the game, Zou Weijia won unanimous praise from various media, and in the previous Asian Games, Zou Weijia often scored goals, and also led the team to break into the third or fourth finals, and helped the National Olympic team win the bronze medal with a penalty.

The goal of this league goal pushed him to the peak of public opinion, and everyone agreed that the reserve ability of the Longteng team in the center forward position is the best in the Chinese Super League.

At the press conference after the game, the reporter asked Zhang Sheng to evaluate Zou Weijia's performance in this game, Zhang Sheng first praised Zou Weijia a few words, and then helped him lower the fire: "Although he performed very well, but after all, he is still young, in the position of center, he still needs enough training, we don't easily kill an excellent young player, after all, everyone wants him to grow better." Then Zhang Sheng also joked, "I know you, I won't stop if you don't make big news, and the next time he scores again, you will praise him, just let him calm down first." ”

The reporters below also laughed, but they heard from Zhang Sheng's words that he attached great importance to Zou Weijia - since Zhang Sheng is also looking forward to Zou Weijia's next goal, then he will definitely have a lot of opportunities to play.

At Shanghai Shenxin's post-match press conference, head coach Cheng Yaodong looked very calm, not at all like a head coach who led the team to relegation, and the reporters also knew that Cheng Yaodong was not far from class.

Sure enough, on the second day of the game, Shanghai Shenxin announced that Cheng Yaodong would leave class, Guo Guangqi returned to the position of head coach, and Cheng Yaodong was also another "victim" of Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng, who returned to Jiangcheng with the team, called Zou Weijia to his office, he praised him well, and then encouraged him and said: "You have a good talent, but how to cash in on the talent is a key issue for a young player, I hope you will make persistent efforts, don't be blinded by a momentary goal, you are still young, as long as you play well, the team's center forward position will be yours sooner or later." ”

Zou Weijia nodded frequently like a chicken pecking rice and said, "I know, coach, I will work harder." ”

Zhang Sheng patted Zou Weijia's arm with satisfaction and quipped: "Have you figured out how to sign autographs for fans? ”

Zou Weijia said with a twisted expression: "My handwriting is too bad, I'm embarrassed to sign for others." ”

Hearing Zou Weijia's honest answer, Zhang Sheng laughed even louder.

The Dragons didn't have much time to rest when they returned to Jiangcheng, as they had the second leg of the FA Cup semi-finals three days later, which was also a must-win game for the Dragons.

In this game, Zhang Sheng still sent his strongest lineup, Ivo was replaced by Pato in the forward position because of a slight strain, and the other positions are the best players Zhang Sheng can take out now.

Shanghai Shenhua, who was behind in the total score, launched a fierce attack at the beginning, and they also wanted to learn from Shanghai Shenxin to take advantage of the opportunity that the Longteng team had not yet entered the state at the beginning of the game to steal one, but unfortunately it was themselves who were injured - in the 5th minute, Pato took advantage of the beautiful escape from the anti-offside position and scored a goal, and the Longteng team led 1:0 at home and 3:0 on aggregate.

The Longteng team, which was leading the score, began to slowly wear down the morale of the opponent, and Shanghai Shenhua, which was behind, also calmed down.

Sure enough, the score of the first half was fixed at 1:0.

In the second half, Zhang Sheng began to make a large number of substitutions in preparation for the next league game in three days, Zou Weijia came on again to replace Wen Kai, and the other two youngsters Du Zhenyu and Xiong Jian also got the opportunity to come on as substitutes.

After replacing these three young players, although the Longteng team still maintains an offensive posture, the control on the field has weakened a lot.

Before the end of the game, the young central defender Du Zhenyu made an undeserved mistake, he gave a penalty to the opponent with a useless handball in the penalty area, and Moreno took the penalty to complete the stunner against the Longteng team.

For this conceded goal, Zhang Sheng can only say that it is the price that young players must pay, although the score of 1:1 made Zhang Sheng's winning streak come to an abrupt end, but it is very worthwhile to be able to teach young players a lesson, after all, it is not trivial to the overall situation.

After the game, Zhang Sheng did not criticize Du Zhenyu, but put forward his own suggestions at the post-game analysis meeting, asking him to pay more attention to his body movements and not to be seized by the opponent to create fouls.

In Zhang Sheng's view, young players should be encouraged mostly, building confidence for players is a long-term process, as long as it is not a problem of game attitude, talented players will always have a mature day, since they have chosen to train young players, they must be ready to accept this situation.
