7. A lively transfer market
The Chinese team, which was eliminated from the Asian Cup, was rarely criticized by fans and the media this time, after all, the opponent was Australia, they are the top team in Asia, and they are also the host, and the next game also confirmed that they have the strength of the Asian championship - in the final final, Australia defeated South Korea 2-1 and won the Asian Cup for the first time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
And this Asian Cup, the Chinese team did not play badly, the record of winning all three games in the group is the best group record in the history of the Chinese team, and at the same time, in the content of the game, the players of the Chinese team insisted on playing at their feet, and the scene looked very good, even in the game against Australia, although it was eliminated because of poor strength, it did not collapse, it can be regarded as "standing and dying".
Both the fans and the media have given the Chinese team a high evaluation, everyone knows the current strength of the Chinese team, their requirements are not high, they can play their own characteristics, can play the spirit of the game, they are satisfied.
Everyone has always said that the fans of the Chinese team are the cutest fans in the world, and it is not a lie!
From Zhang Sheng's point of view, it can only be said that the luck of the Chinese team in this Asian Cup is a bit bad.
As the first in the group, it is estimated that no one thought that Australia, as the host, was the second in the group of the other group, because to be honest, the current Chinese team is really not too afraid of the South Korean team that is the first in the group opposite.
This Chinese team is a team with a very obvious weakness, that is, it is afraid of confrontation, just look at Ding Huaiyi, as the best player in the Chinese team, he played well in the face of those teams that were not too strong in the group stage, but once he met Australia, which is known for its physical confrontation, he was immediately dumb, and there was no good performance in the whole game.
South Korea, who are at the top of the group with Australia, are far less physically dominant than Australia, and in that case, China may play a little better.
Even if it is eliminated, the Chinese team is not without other gains, in addition to building better self-confidence, the most direct benefit is that the Chinese team has now improved a lot of FIFA points with three consecutive wins in the group stage of the Asian Cup, because the main competitors Oman, Qatar, and Jordan have failed to qualify from the group, so it can be determined that the Chinese team can enter the top eight before the World Cup qualifying draw. The top eight means that the Chinese team will enter the top 40 as the seeded team, and will not encounter Asia's first-class teams such as Japan, South Korea, Australia and Iran in the group.
This is a very good starting point for the World Preliminary Tournament in the future.
The players of the Longteng national team who finished the game did not have much vacation after the Asian Cup, and they went directly back to the team to start winter training.
Compared with the players of these national teams, the passing and receiving ability of the players in the Longteng team who have been trained in special training is increasing at a visible rate, and at the same time, there is a lot of news in the transfer market.
The most talked-about thing in the transfer of domestic players is of course Yu Dabao, who is being contested by Guangzhou Evergrande and Beijing Guoan.
In fact, a year ago, at the beginning of the 2014 season, Guangzhou Evergrande and Yu Dabao had a transfer scandal, the actual situation at that time was that both clubs had already negotiated the price, but in the transfer fee and player positioning, the two sides had a conflict, Yu Dabao failed to make the trip, and stayed in Dalian Albin.
As soon as this season ended, Dalian Albin, which had been relegated, obviously did not have any ability to retain Yu Dabao, and then the transfer rumors between Yu Dabao and Guangzhou Evergrande rang out again.
However, Zhang Sheng knows very well that this is completely fake news, and there is obviously a gap between Yu Dabao and Evergrande, who have rejected Guangzhou Evergrande twice, and it is Beijing Jingguoan who really wants Yu Dabao.
Sure enough, not long after the rumors came out, Yu Dabao transferred to Beijing Guoan at a price of 35 million RMB, and his annual salary also dropped, and it was obvious that Guoan had the upper hand in this negotiation.
As a relegated team, Dalian Albin failed to sell him at a price of 50 million at the beginning of the year, and now it is 15 million less, which can be described as a big loss, but a team that has been relegated and has the risk of disbandment has no room to speak, so it can only be sold with tears.
In this tearful sale, Zhang Jiaqi, who left Dalian Albin like Yu Dabao, was also purchased, and it was Guangzhou Evergrande who bought him this time.
Zhang Jiaqi belongs to the kind of player who has a body, but not enough skills, and he can only appear in the form of a pure defensive midfielder in the midfield position.
He is strong, 191cm tall, weighs 80kg, and has first-class impact, but he is often a stop on the field that is three meters away, which is miserable.
After all, he was born in 1991 and was only 24 years old in the second half of 2015.
But Zhang Sheng knew that this was another failed transfer, after arriving at Guangzhou Evergrande, Zhang Jiaqi basically had no chance to play, and he often couldn't even enter the squad, and then he even became an Uber driver to pass the time, and only began to be loaned out to play in the next few years.
Even if it is such a player, Guangzhou Evergrande also paid a transfer fee of 20 million RMB, which is considered a loss to his grandmother's family.
This time, there is another relegation team, Shanghai Shenxin, because of the arrival of the Longteng team, Shenxin was relegated one season ahead of schedule, and the only few players in the team who can afford the price have been hollowed out.
Wang Yun decided to go to Shanghai Shenhua before the end of the season, goalkeeper Liu Dianzuo was poached by Guangzhou R&F, and the other players were unattended, which shows the low level of players in this team, even if there is no Longteng team, relegation next season is a sure thing.
When Zhang Sheng felt sad for these small ball clubs, several other local tyrant teams kept coming out with the news of players joining.
SIPG Group, which has just taken over Shanghai East Asia as a wholly-owned company, has bought two domestic players in a row.
One is the veteran Sun Xiang who left Evergrande, and the other is Shi Ke, the captain of the historical National Olympic team.
In fact, these two transfers proved to be very successful, Sun Xiang has been the main left wing-back of Shanghai SIPG since then, and Shi Ke has also become the team's main central defender.
Shanghai Shenhua, as the opponent of Shanghai SIPG, is not to be outdone, after changing the name of the club from Shanghai Greenland Football Club to Shanghai Greenland Shenhua Football Club, Shenhua also learned from Shanghai Port to dig players who could not play the game, they introduced central defender Li Jianbin, and Lu Zheng and Deng Zhuoxiang, who played substitutes in Shandong Luneng and Jiangsu Shuntianli, were also signed by them.
At the same time, they tasted the sweetness from the Dragon Teng Club and began to contact Zhang Sheng again, and this time the person they wanted to dig was Wen Kai.
As the local scorer king of the Longteng team, the second local scorer in the 2014 season of the Chinese Super League, and the second captain of the Longteng team, Wen Kai has been coveted by several local tyrant teams in the Chinese Super League for a long time.
Especially at the end of the season, these teams are more eager. Because from the situation at the end of the season, Zhang Sheng seems to be dissatisfied with Wen Kai's shooting ability, and has put the team's national Olympic teenager Zou Weijia in the main position, the last game of the FA Cup, Zou Weijia played the whole game, and Wen Kai, who was not injured, sat on the bench for 90 minutes.
What Shanghai Shenhua can see, other clubs obviously also see it, and Jiangsu Shuntian, who also has a very high demand for the forward line, also sent a request for Wenkai to buy.
This season's top scorer in the Shanghai Shenhua team is foreign aid Moreno, he scored 8, and Jiangsu Shuntian's top scorer in the team is foreign aid Elias, he scored 7, but no matter which one it is, it is not as good as Wen Kaiduo, this kind of local shooter who can exceed the number of goals scored by other foreign aid is of course hot.
In Wen Kai's heart, he is also very entangled.
All of them can have today, it was Zhang Sheng who gave him the opportunity to play, and Wen Kai sincerely respected Zhang Sheng, but now Zhang Sheng obviously has the idea of supporting younger players, and he can't hang himself from a tree.
Therefore, Wen Kai must ask Zhang Sheng about his position in the team.
Soon Wen Kai found Zhang Sheng in the office, and in the face of Wen Kai's question, Zhang Sheng seemed very simple: "I won't go around in circles with you, after the start of this season, you may have to compete with Zou Weijia and Nie Jiang for posts, and you have also seen our current training, we will pursue the way of scoring goals with our feet more, you need to strengthen your ability in this regard." ”
In the face of Zhang Sheng's words, Wen Kai probably knows his positioning, as the last main center, he has to compete with 17 or 8-year-old young people, this is not afraid, but when it comes to the ability of his feet, he really has no advantage compared with these two children, especially Nie Jiang, this child, he has seen his ability, it can be said that in addition to experience, he has completely exploded himself, once he becomes a substitute for young people, it is really difficult to turn over later.
Soon Wen Kai made a transfer application: "Coach, then I want to apply for a transfer." ”
Zhang Sheng was not hypocritical, and directly agreed to his request: "The club has indeed received a lot of requests for your purchase, and we will agree to their requests at a price that suits your identity, you can rest assured, we will not deliberately block it." ”
Wen Kai sighed in his heart, bowed to Zhang Sheng, and said, "Thank you, coach, thank you for bringing me into the Dragon Club, I will always remember it." ”
After speaking, Wen Kai left Zhang Sheng's office.
Zhang Sheng also shook his head helplessly, if his team wants to pursue better results, there must be a replacement of personnel, and professional football is so cruel.
Soon, Zhang Sheng asked the club's staff to start negotiations with Shanghai Shenhua and Jiangsu Shuntian.
As the best local scorer of the third-place team in the league and one of the main centers of the national team, Zhang Sheng's price for Wen Kai is not high, as long as the offer is higher than 5000wRMB, he can get permission to talk about personal treatment with Wen Kai.
Although this price is much higher than Yu Dabao's, it has always been a tradition in the football world to chase red and step on black, and it is inevitable to buy people from clubs with good results and pay a certain premium, and it is natural that Wen Kai's value is higher than that of Yu Dabao.
Wen Kai's sudden listing still surprised the outside world, because after the end of this season, Zhang Sheng, the head coach of the Longteng team, was very tough in an interview with the media: "We will not let go of any of the main players this season." ”
After the end of the season, the Longteng team, which has always been a big seller, was naturally asked for players by countless teams, but Zhang Sheng basically rejected all the requests to buy people, and there was no news from the Longteng club that there were players leaving, but heard the rumors that the Longteng club was interested in improving the ability of foreign aid.
When the transfer news from the outside world is flying all over the sky, the news that the Longteng team has signed official professional player contracts with the youngsters, and the pursuit of stability seems to have become the top priority of the Longteng team this season.
When everyone thought that the Longteng team had really changed their character and no longer sold players, the news that the main striker Wen Kai was listed spread far and wide, and everyone's goals were immediately gathered.
In addition to being the main center of the Longteng team last season, he is also the second captain of the team, once a player is in this position of a team, how his whereabouts have always been the vane of a team, and now Wenkai is allowed to transfer, so which players will leave next, I really can't say.
Wen Kai's transfer problem did not dwell on for long, whether it was Shanghai Shenhua or Jiangsu Shuntian did not want to drag this transfer down, Wen Kai's ability is there, there are not a few teams staring at him, he is just a little bit of a pioneer, no one knows when there will be a local tyrant to suddenly intervene, and soon Shanghai Shenhua, who has a number of former Longteng players in the team, got the first opportunity, and they used a slightly higher annual salary and the sincerity of being able to get a Shanghai account for three consecutive years made Wen Kai agree to this transfer.
After the successful transfer of Wenkai, everyone subconsciously thought that the Longteng team had once again opened the door to player transfers, and a large number of offers flocked to the Longteng club.
From the main players in the first team, the players in rotation, the substitutes, and even the young players who have only played once or twice, there are a bunch of people to offer.
But soon they found that their offers were basically lost in the sea, and gradually everyone stopped paying attention, in fact, this was just a prelude to the storm.
Because of Zhang Linpeng's overseas problem, there has been a turnaround again.
