As the heat of praise in various public opinion fermented, the passion in the media slowly began to dissipate, but the material and economic heat began to appear.

This time, the Chinese team qualified, and the national team alone gave a lot of bonuses to coaches and players.

Before the start of the top 12 matches, the Chinese Football Association gave the national football team a bonus policy of "winning 3 million and drawing 1 million", and if it successfully qualified for the World Cup, it will add 60 million yuan in bonuses, and in addition to the Football Association, the national football team has a bonus of up to 50 million yuan in the contract with the sponsor.

When it was actually qualified, some media had calculated that the upper limit of the total prize money of the national football team reached an astonishing 140 million yuan.

In addition, the club where the player belongs also offers a big reward.

The Longteng team rewarded all the players in this game with a "Longteng International National Team Competition Medal", and another 1 million in cash, while Nie Jiang, who scored the key goal, was 3 million.

Several other teams did not fall behind, and Guangzhou Evergrande, which has deep pockets, is the international player in this squad with heavy rewards - 3 million rewards for playing, and 1 million for non-playing.

The rest of the three clubs of Shandong Luneng, Beijing Guoan, and Shanghai SIPG also have a reward of one million for the participants.

So much so that several players who play in Europe are teasing their teammates: "I knew that I was also playing in China." ”

It is equivalent to the club's reward, those players with commercial contracts are more cost-effective, and some brands will mention in the contract, if they enter the World Cup, how much will be rewarded, if they are selected for the World Cup later, how much will be rewarded, etc.

And the players who have not yet had a brand commercial contract have also become golden bowls this time, and a large number of manufacturers are like gourmets seeing food, rabbits seeing glass, and the new crown virus seeing European and American leaders.

For a while, the mobile phone calls of the agents of those players who are usually not welcomed are constant, and the legs of Le can't close all day long.

It can be said that everyone has made a lot of money in qualifying for the World Cup this time.

Although Zhang Sheng also followed the general trend and rewarded the players financially, he still very much agreed with the words of Huang Jianxiang and Su Dong, who commented on such a game.

The Chinese team's qualification, to be honest, was caused by Zhang Sheng, who suddenly appeared out of thin air with the system, to say how solid the foundation of Chinese football is now, no.

The current situation of Chinese society is that the normal profession can support the family, there is no need to use professional football to make a living, and the way out is that the country's economic situation does not have the conditions to make people take football as a hobby as a profession without affecting life.

Therefore, if you want to prevent qualifying from being just a flash in the pan, then encouraging more people to participate in football and cultivating a better football environment is the most important thing.

Think about October 7, 2001, the Chinese national team defeated Oman 1-0 at home in the top 10 of Asia and got the ticket to the 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup.

However, the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. In the following ten years, the national football team, the national Olympic team, the women's football team, and the youth team all lost. The dismal results have even implicated the sport of football itself, and the country's football population has plummeted.

I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, in this patch of flowers, Zhang Sheng must be that sober person.

Judging from what Zhang Sheng has learned, Chinese football is overheated now.

Needless to say, with 7 rounds left in the league, many teams have begun to plan for next season's recruitment, and it is said that ordinary stars are no longer eye-catching, and they would rather pay more luxury tax under the new rules of the Football Association, but also introduce top stars, and some people put satellites to contact Messi and Ronaldo.

Even several clubs that usually aim for relegation have held internal meetings to convey the supreme instructions of the boss behind the club to "do everything possible to absolutely not be relegated, whoever is relegated will get out".

Trying to do everything possible in this is very spiritual.

After the team qualified, there were disturbing news and frequent celebrations, even to the point of affecting the team's daily training, for which Lippi did not hesitate to be furious, after all, the top 12 game is not over, and the team has to leave for Doha, Qatar.

Even in a match between a team that has already qualified against a team that has been eliminated, Lippi does not want anyone to slack off.

On the afternoon of September 1, all the coaches and players of the Chinese team chartered a plane to Doha, and as soon as they got off the plane, the high temperature of 42 degrees Celsius gave them a dismount.

Considering that the players have been playing for the past two days, celebrating, and venting their energy is very strong, and it is extremely hot weather, Lippi only let the players do simple recovery training, and injured players like Zhang Linpeng only do upper limb exercises, of course, Zhang Linpeng can go with the team, which shows that his injury is not too serious.

Fortunately, the logistics team of this national football team is powerful enough to carry equipment such as ice machines randomly, which can cool down the players while also making ice after training.

Although Lippi was extremely serious in training, when it was actually time to announce the starting list, it could still be seen that he had obvious intentions to train in this game.

First of all, in terms of formation, the team changed from 4-3-3 to 3-5-2, and Lippi's three-back tactics that he had been thinking about finally won the round of 12.

In the position of the center forward, there are two center forwards of Nie Jiang and Gao Lin, the three midfielders are Qin Minghao, Qi Ming and Wu Lei, the two wingbacks are Jiang Zhipeng and Xiang Tiange, and the three central defenders are Li Yun, Lu Zhihui and He Xi.

The goalkeeper used Yan Junling.

Judging from Lippi's selection, Jiang Zhipeng and Xiang Tiange, two wingback players who are usually used to playing in the club's three-center-back system, are the top priority of the inspection.

In fact, when it comes to the game, it can be seen that everyone still doesn't have a tacit understanding of this formation.

Facing Qatar, which is also dominated by young players and substitute players, the Chinese team has made mistakes both in attack and defense.

In the second half, the cooperation of the players did not improve much, but it was Xiang Tiange's mistake that caused the team to concede a goal, until Zheng Zhi replaced He Xi, the situation was slightly better, and Gao Lin scored the equalizing goal.

Although Lippi on the sidelines has been shouting loudly to command the team, he has not been angry because the team is not playing well.

Because just two days before this game, Chai Zhenhua, deputy director of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China and chairman of the Chinese Football Association, said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency: National football coach Lippi will stay in office and continue to make suggestions and suggestions for the construction of the Chinese football system.

The 2018 World Cup, with almost one year to go, is enough for Lippi to hone his new tactics.

In the end, the game also ended with a score of 1:1.

The other three games played at the same time, because the previous round was destined to qualify and who was eliminated, this round of the game played exceptionally "peaceful", Uzbekistan drew 0:0 with South Korea at home, Syria drew 2:2 with Iran at "home", and finally ended all the matches in Group A of the final stage of the 2018 World Cup Asian Qualifiers in Russia with three draws.

In this group, Iran has an unbeaten record of six wins and four draws, accumulating 22 points, and the Chinese team is beating the South Korean team with six wins, two draws and two losses and accumulating 20 points to win the second place in the group and obtain another direct qualification, while the South Korean team has four wins, three draws and three losses and 15 points to qualify for the third play-off in the other group.

As for Uzbekistan, Syria and Qatar, they are all eliminated.

By this time, the dust had settled, and Chinese fans finally had the heart to mock South Korean fans.

The comment of a certain netizen is the most representative: "South Korean fans: Why? Why is this happening? Obviously, I have worked very hard, obviously our government and the national team can join forces to deal with China, the government can deploy THAAD against China, and the national team can eliminate the Chinese team as usual, these two add up to double happiness! But why did it become like this?"

Regardless of the play-offs for the South Korean team, after this round of games, the task of the Chinese national team has come to an end, the players will return to their respective clubs, and the matches of the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League will be rekindled, and fans from all over the world can finally cheer for their teams again.

Zhang Sheng has a bit of a headache for the league that is about to restart, because the next game of the Longteng team is extremely difficult to play.

There are many reasons why it is difficult to fight. First of all, the schedule is intensive, from September 10th to September 17th, the Dragons have to play three games, which is a proper three games a week.

Then there are these three games, the first two are away, or they have to fly to Shanghai and Japan respectively, which is a great test of physical fitness.

If you take into account three more opponents, it is even more staggering, namely Shanghai SIPG, which is third in the league, Urawa Ruby, the AFC Champions League, and Changchun Yatai, who are desperately struggling to be relegated.

It can be said that this short schedule is both dense and hard and grinding.

While considering these opponents, Zhang Sheng also has a headache for the players.

At this time, the Longteng team has a big flaw, that is, it lacks people in two key positions.

One position is the goalkeeper, Huang Dawei was selected for the national team because of a broken rib before, and has been recuperating and doing rehabilitation training in the club, thanks to the skills of saving lives in the system, the recovery is not bad, but this is a fracture after all.

"A hundred days of broken bones. "This is not just talking, it has only been 2 months since Huang Dawei was injured, and he will not be able to play until after these three games at the earliest.

Jiang Mingming, as the main goalkeeper during this time, can be said to have been studied very thoroughly by opponents, and his ability is indeed average.

There is also a central defender.

The five internationals of the Longteng team: Lu Zhihui, Nie Jiang, Liming, Qi Ming, and Tao Wentao finally returned to the club after an exciting half a month.

However, their high mental tension during this time, coupled with the carnival after the national football team qualified, it can be said that the whole person is in a period of exhaustion after the climax.

This one is scientifically called: Sage Time.

In the central defenders of the Longteng team, it is precisely Lu Zhihui and Liming as the core, because of Ma Yongli's serious injury, it is estimated that it will not be good until the end of the season.

To add insult to injury, in order to prepare for the 2017 "Chang'an Ford Cup" Chinese Football Association Qujing International Youth Football Championship, the Football Association transferred Wang Xing, Lu Yangyang and Chen Yinuo of the appropriate age, and the latter two players are the main central defenders and substitute central defenders of the Longteng team.

Once in the game, there is an accident in the central defender position, and it is difficult to find even a qualified substitute.

In order to take care of the condition of the players, Zhang Sheng asked several international players who returned to China on September 6 to rest at home for two days before entering the team for training, but even so, they obviously looked like they could not keep up their spirits.

There was really no way, Zhang Sheng still flew to Shanghai in a hurry with the team.

In the match with SIPG, Zhang Sheng racked his brains to arrange a set of lineups: the tactical choice was 4-4-2, the central defenders had no choice, or let Liming and Lu Zhihui go up, the left and right fullbacks were Shen Jun and Huang He, the two wingers in the midfield were De Paul and Fernando, the double backs were Qu Wenming and Tao Wentao, and the forwards were Chavez and Nie Jiang.

It can be said that this is only half of the Dragon team.

Compared with the Longteng team, Shanghai SIPG is much better, and there are not many internationals selected by themselves, even if the two internationals who have been selected, He Xi has not played a game, and Wu Lei only played half of the last game.

Playing at home, they also have plenty of time to recuperate.

Unlike the slightly conservative lineup of the Longteng team, SIPG came up with their strongest offensive lineup, with Oscar, Hulk, Elkeson, Wu Lei and Yan Xiaoyu all on the front. Many fans of the Longteng team can't stand it.

Of course, with an attacking player like Yan Xiaoyu in the midfield, leaving only Cai Huikang as a pure defensive player, in addition to ensuring that he meets the rules of the U23 on the field, Boas is really a bit overbearing.

After all, Cai Huikang's state is very average now.

It was only from his report that the reporter interviewed later that everyone knew the reason: because of the ankle injury in the confrontation with Ramirez, there were two bones in it that were avulsed, and there were small bones that were broken.

Therefore, since he was injured, he has always relied on conservative treatment and closed play, running slowly on the field, and the amount of exercise cannot go up, which leads to physical gain, and the whole person looks more clumsy.

Coupled with the fact that Akhmedov was banned by the Chinese Football Association for two games - which can include the games of the reserve team, the defensive ability of the midfield of the whole SIPG is even weaker.

Speaking of Akhmedov's ban, he is not to blame others, but only to blame himself.

Last month, Akhmedov was interviewed by Russian media about the referees of the Chinese Super League: "In China, the quality of referees is very poor, and we have some strange misjudgments in every game. ”

'Our obvious goal was disallowed, the penalty was not awarded, but we were awarded a penalty. Complaints about the referee would result in an immediate red card, and then I learned that I could speak English and I wouldn't be able to communicate with them. ”

If it's just a statement like this, there is no problem, the problem is that he added a few words at the end: "Maybe the referees of the Chinese Super League just don't want us SIPG to win, they only want our two rivals, Longteng and Guangzhou Evergrande, to win." ”

Such a statement, to be honest, no football association can endure, waiting for him will of course be a gift at such a critical moment of the game with the Longteng team: an autograph from Comrade Wang Xiaoping.

The Football Association has made it clear that it wants to disgust you for your speech.

Although Zhang Sheng also felt that the Longteng team was sprayed inexplicably.
