6. Tactical supplements

In a tactical system designed by Zhang Sheng, running with the ball is crucial, but more critical is running without the ball, such as the Japanese star Shinji Kagawa during the time of Klopp, as a playmaker, his role has a lot of freedom, he can be used as a shadow striker, or as a playmaker midfielder, while shouldering the responsibility of defending the opponent's back, these are all up to the opponent.

Equally crucial is the ability to handle the ball from the back, which is why Zhang Sheng's ability to swing Ma Yongli, the most skilled player at the back, in the midfield and centre-back positions, is to use his ability to play the ball.

And looking at the players called by Zhang Sheng, you can also see his ultimate tactical clues, and the vast majority of the players he chooses are the kind of players who run frequently, handle the ball well, and can play in multiple positions.

Especially in the midfield, such as Lin Feng, who has left the team, such as Xiong Jian, who is the same type as Lin Feng, and Zeng Fanfang, Qu Wenming, Cao Jinghao, etc., who were summoned later.

Of course, such a tactic is not without sequelae, and it has been criticized very much, that is, the injury rate of players seems to be in a very high state all the time.

Like during the period when Klopp was coaching Dortmund, players such as Reuss, Hummels, Shaheen, and Gundogan had the "glass" attribute of their bodies, and they retired with injuries at every turn, including Shinji Kagawa, who went to Manchester United, also dragged his injuries over.

When we arrived at Liverpool, the same was true for some of the key players in the squad, such as Sturridge, Sadio Mane, Coutinho, Lallana, Joel Matip, Jordan Henderson, Emre Can and a long list of injuries.

For such a statement, it is impossible for you to say that the tactics have not affected the injuries at all, but if you want to say that these injuries are caused by the style of play, it is not true.

There is another team in history that has chosen to play with a "mad dog" like Klopp, and that is Atletico Madrid in La Liga.

Atletico Madrid, who also pays attention to physical confrontation, pays attention to full-court pressure, and pays attention to running, has a good control of injuries, and the players not only do not have a kicking fee, but have become the cradle of the growth of stars.

If you really want to talk about physical confrontation and the exploration of the potential of athletes, whether it is American football, ice hockey or sprinting and other events, that is the real exhaustion of the last trace of potential of athletes, football is not a matter at all.

For the problem of injury, Zhang Sheng is not unprepared, and he is very well prepared, one is the attribute of the system - the hygienist can make the player's big injury become a small injury, and the small injury is invisible, and the second is to strengthen the rotation, now even if the Longteng team has rented out a lot of players this season, but the players who remain are all more than 70 ability values, which makes Zhang Sheng have enough capital to play such tactics.

In the final analysis, there is also the natural advantage of Longteng Club - all the players are young, and now in the team, except for Lu Zhihui and Ben Arfa, who are about to turn 29 years old, the oldest of the other players is only 25 years old, and the vast majority of players are between 18 and 24 years old, which is the age group with the best physical fitness and physical condition of a player.

Zhang Sheng's last move is to take into account the physical condition of Chinese players, allowing players to use the pass-and-control style of play to play "big health" tactics during the interval of the "mad dog play".

The Dragons against Sporting Lisbon B are now playing like this, using their players to interrupt the opponent's attack in a frenzy, and this kind of pressing tactic is not to throw players to the place where the ball is in a swarm, but like a few nets, layer upon layer.

That is, one goes up to force the grab, and there will be at least one person in the back, or two people in the back, and wait behind, because the forcing is easy to be passed, but once the opponent passes, it is precisely when the person behind is most likely to break the ball.

Even a team like Barcelona will concede a goal due to pressing when they meet Atletico Madrid, not to mention the quality of the players of Sporting Lisbon B, and it is from this that the first goal of the Longteng team came from.

At the end of the first half 1:1, both sides began a large-scale substitution, at this time the tactical advantage of the Longteng team is particularly obvious, a group of players with more than 70 ability to use the physical advantage of the substitute players of the Sporting Lisbon B team to press, and so on in the second half ten minutes, substitute Rodrigo De Paul knocked on the opponent's door with a long-range shot.

In the twentieth minute of the second half, it was Yan Xiaoyu, who came on as a substitute in the second half, and then broke into the opponent's penalty area and scored a goal.

In the end, the score of this game was also fixed at a score of 3:1.

Aurelio Pereira had only recognized the Dragons' ability to develop young players before, and felt that Zhang Sheng would be a very good coach if he was the head of the academy, but now this game has turned his concept upside down.

Although it can be seen that Zhang Sheng's "mad dog style of play" is still relatively naΓ―ve, and there are still many omissions in the cooperation of the players, but in the face of Sporting Lisbon B team, such tactics are still very effective.

From the point of view of Aurelio Pereira, there is really no problem at all for the Dragons to play the Portuguese Super League with such strength.

After the game, Aurelio Pereira came over to Zhang Sheng and said: "Congratulations, you really have a group of very good players, you are also a very good manager, I really look forward to the in-depth cooperation with your club." ”

As the club's scouting boss, Aurelio Pereira is also very competent, and then he talked about Nie Jiang's problem: "I think your team's No. 9 Nie Jiang really has the strength to play in the Portuguese Super League, I mean, unlike Xu Mingyu who could only play in the Portuguese League at the beginning, his ability is completely enough to play in the first team of Sporting Lisbon, how about it?"

For Aurelio Pereira's kind invitation, Zhang Sheng still refused: "He is still too young. His future is definitely in Europe, but not now, and I want to hone him at home. ”

Aurelio Pereira could only shrug helplessly, he also knew that Nie Jiang's environment in China would be better, as the future star of the team, Zhang Sheng would definitely create the best environment for him, much better than no one in Europe, so he couldn't promise too high conditions, after all, it was the head coach of the team who decided the use of players.

However, he immediately mentioned Qi Ming: "What about your No. 21 player? It seems to be called Ming.qi, he feels so good on the field, and his physical condition is good enough, I read the information, he is over 20 this year, is there any intention to let him come to Europe to play?"

Responding to Aurelio Pereira, he said the same thing: "He needs more growth, more games, his future is also European, but it will have to wait." ”

Aurelio Pereira was completely speechless at this time, and the opposite side protected several good players like a hen guard, and there was nothing he could do.

Of course, Zhang Sheng knew what Aurelio Pereira meant, it was nothing more than wanting to start first and cultivate slowly, but Zhang Sheng, who had a system in hand, knew the level of Nie Jiang and Qi Ming better.

The current Nie Jiang's ability index is 88, and Qi Ming is only 76, it is very difficult to play in the first team of Sporting Lisbon, since you can't play regular games, it is better to use it as the core of your own team.

At the same time, unlike in China, domestic local players have more invisible benefits, and foreign aid is an outsider.

In Europe, Nie Jiang and Qi Ming don't have such benefits, a little bit of bad performance may be bench wear, not to mention that their own ability is not enough now.

Since he can train Pato and Ben Alpha to return to the top, and train Nie Jiang and Qi Ming to be in their nineties before they are released, their road in Europe will be much easier.

After saying goodbye to Aurelio Pereira, Zhang Sheng also returned to the hotel with the team and began to discuss the problems of the game with his coaching staff.

In this game, Zhou Zhou existed as the starting left wingback, but judging from the performance on the field, he did not play well, although he did not concede the ball on his side, but he gave Ben Alpha too little support, and Qi Ming and Xiang Tiange on the right Although there were mistakes that led to the loss of the goal, they played the effect that Zhang Sheng wanted.

In the end, the result of the discussion among the coaching staff was to switch Ben Arfa and Zhou Zhou, Zhou Zhou to the middle and Ben Alfa to play the left winger/left wing-back position.

This can not only give full play to Ben Alpha's impact on the wing, let him participate in the front and even organize the attack, but also allow Zhou Zhou to stay in his own half with peace of mind and fill in for Ben Alpha.

Such adjustments by the coaching staff are not once and for all, because if Zhou Zhou cannot participate in the attack in the midfield, then Roque Gill will have to take on more of the task of organizing the attack.

Since Roque Gill came to the team, he has always used his midfield interception and lateral or backward transfer ability, in fact, his own ability is absolutely qualified to participate in the organization of attacks in the Chinese Super League.

His style is actually very similar to the Uzbek defender Akhmedov who played in Shanghai SIPG in the future, except that the Longteng team had Lin Feng, who was stronger in the midfield, or there was a defender who was not as good as Roque Gil, so Roque Gildo had to stay behind.

Now after Lin Feng's transfer, he can completely let Zhou Zhou on the left and Qi Ming on the right sweep the midfield, giving Roque Gill more power to move forward.

This can also be said to be the benefits given by Zhang Sheng in order to cultivate local players, after all, they are also players, why don't I train my own people.

Another problem with this game was the lack of skillful interplay between the midfielders and the wing-backs that were exposed.

Qi Ming does have potential, but it has not been tapped yet, Xiang Tiange's assist ability is strong, but it is not enough at the level of round-trip.

Zhang Sheng and the coaching staff also have to consider how to break the situation once Xiang Tiange can't open the situation.

Judging from this game, De Paul is indeed strong, his passing, organization, defense, and confrontation on the side are far more than domestic players, and it seems that the 98/117 ability/potential value given by the system is not just talking.

Judging from the current situation, he has an advantage over Qi Ming.

After playing two days of playing with Sporting Lisbon, the Longteng team ushered in the match with RB Leipzig, this season RB Leipzig introduced Tao Wentao and straightened Weigel to play the back, the entire RB Leipzig attack has undergone earth-shaking changes, which is different from last season's defense of the backline, and now the RB Leipzig game has improved its efficiency in attack is not a little bit.

RB Leipzig is now even better than in history, and has been in first place since the winter break, but because it is not much different from second place Freiburg, only one point, at the end of the season, it was even squeezed into second place.

In addition to occupying the top spot in the league, they are also far behind in second place, a full six points more than second-placed Freiburg, which is a huge advantage in a highly competitive league like the Bundesliga.

And the three Longteng players in the RB Leipzig team have become the objects of the entire Bundesliga and even the Bundesliga, of course, the most urgent is the RB Leipzig side.

Weigel's talent now shows that they are scratching their hearts, the player is in their own team, but it is a loan status, the Longteng team signed a five-year contract, and now there are more than four years before the contract expires, who knows when, Weigel will be taken away by the outside Bundesliga team, you must know that the Bundesliga has Bayern Munich who specializes in digging good players in the German local league "star black hole".

So this time the Longteng team came to Europe, Zhang Sheng was also there, and RB Leipzig eagerly came over to discuss Weigel's problem.

The Longteng team can think about it, Weigel will develop according to the current situation, it is a player who is tens of millions of euros larger, there is no need to worry, and according to Weigel's own ability, he is the main force in which team to go to the Bundesliga, and he does not worry about no one wanting, so the purchase request of the Red Bull team, where is the 10 million euros enough.

Of course, if the Red Bulls want to continue with the loan of Wegel, it is a win-win situation, and given the friendly relationship between the two clubs, the right of first refusal gives them a consolation prize.

In the next warm-up match with the Longteng team, the Red Bull team also did their best, not only the three players related to the Longteng team started all, but the rest of the players were also the absolute main force in the league.

In the face of such a quasi-Bundesliga team, it was all out, and the Longteng team played extremely embarrassed.

At the beginning, the Dragons still relied on crazy running to play with the Red Bulls, but after 30 minutes of the first half, the Dragons inevitably conceded goals.

After conceding the ball, the Longteng team can only retract the formation, stabilize it first, and not let the opponent beat itself.

After falling 1-0 down in the first half, both teams made a lot of substitutions in the second half, and mistakes from both sides became more and more at this time, Chavez took advantage of a corner kick to score a goal to equalise the score.

Although the next game between the two sides was not as good as the tactical execution in the first half, the attitude of the substitutes was not bad, and the two sides got a lot of chances, but they did not achieve anything, and the final score was fixed at 1:1.
