9. In Europe
Guangzhou Evergrande soon showed the outside world that they must dig up the confidence of the captain of the Longteng team, and they first offered the Longteng team a price of 6000w, which is already a very fair price for a fullback. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, Zhang Sheng did not agree, after all, what Guangzhou Evergrande lacks now is an international-level right wingback, and if he doesn't take advantage of this time to slash hard, wouldn't it be a waste of a great opportunity.
The Longteng club's response was also full: "Shu Jun is our captain, his ability is not only reflected in his skills, but also he has very good command ability in the backline, we need an offer that matches his ability." ”
After a few days of tug-of-war with the Longteng Club, Guangzhou Evergrande offered a price that Zhang Sheng couldn't refuse - 7000w.
This is higher than the price they paid for Gao Jun and Deng Chaoqun from the Longteng team last year, and the price of a full-back exceeds the price of a midfield metronome and a striker, which is already very sincere.
Zhang Sheng quickly signaled that the club agreed to the transfer, and Shu Jun has become the standard among Chinese players.
I have to say that since the Longteng team in Chinese football, the overall value of domestic players has been very hyped, far higher than history.
There are many reasons for this, first of all, the Longteng team has good results, the players perform well, and they can be selected for the national team, so the value of the players is obviously higher than the players of other teams.
Secondly, the Longteng team and several strong teams are in a good situation, and the players on the field have naturally given a very deep impression to the opponent, these strong teams want to kill two birds with one stone, and they can buy powerful players and hit the Longteng team.
Finally, the players of the Longteng team can maintain their value, and most of the players of the Longteng team have performed very well in the club after the transfer, which has made those teams firm up a belief - Longteng products must be high-quality!
In the face of Guangzhou Evergrande, which is determined to win, Beijing Guoan has shrunk its eggs, after all, this price has exceeded the range they can afford.
Soon Shu Jun left the Longteng team and went directly to the training ground of Guangzhou Evergrande, and went to Spain with Guangzhou Evergrande to practice.
The departure of Shu Jun, Wen Kai and Ding Huaiyi before has reduced the team's first-team personnel a lot, but now the players during the winter training period cannot all sign up for the Chinese Super League next season, because since the 2015 season, the Chinese Football Association has reduced the number of first-team registrations of the Chinese Super League team, from 35 last season to 30, that is, a maximum of 25 domestic players and a maximum of 5 foreign aids.
The current Longteng team, if you count all the players summoned by the system, is as many as nearly 30, and some of these players will definitely not be able to play in the Chinese Super League next season, so it is better to simply go out on loan like Yao Tian and Zhu Xuhe last season.
As soon as the news of the Longteng team's intention to loan players to play in the Chinese League came out, the teams in the whole Chinese League began to boil.
After all, the performance of the two Longteng team players in Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard last season is obvious to all, and the team as bad as Tianshan Snow Leopard can be dragged to the top six, and the ability of Longteng's loan players can be seen.
Even though the players of the Longteng team are likely to be transferred to play in the middle of the league by the national teams at all levels, the clubs in the Chinese league have worked very hard to start contacting the Longteng club.
The first person to come to the door was an old acquaintance - Li Jun.
He was very impressed by two players from the Longs team last season, and now that they are back, it is time for him to loan players from the Longteng club again.
Like last year, Li Jun proposed two positions for loan, the forward and back positions.
Zhang Sheng did not disappoint Li Jun either, he sent Yan Xiaoyu and Qu Wenming, two young generals who were about to turn 19 years old, to the past.
When Li Jun heard that there was Yan Xiaoyu, he was overjoyed, this is a player who participated in the AFC Champions League last year and sent a key assist, although the back tends to be silent again, but his own ability is beyond doubt, as the midfield core of the U19 national team, he can come to his own team, Li Jun doesn't know how to thank Zhang Sheng.
The loan of Yan Xiaoyu and Qu Wenming made other teams even more crazy to pursue the young players of the Longteng team.
Several teams in the Central League signed strict loan contracts with the Longteng team in a row - playing time must be guaranteed, must play the most suitable position for the player, etc. - After that, Huang He, Tang Jin, Ni Kai, three young players who will be 19 years old have also been loaned out.
After dealing with these things, Zhang Sheng also began to take the team to Europe for training, because too many teams came to buy players from the Longteng team, and Zhang Sheng was not ready to release them again.
This time, Zhang Sheng prepared to warm up the teams are still those ones, but there is one more Leicester City team than last season.
The first stop in Europe is Spain, where there are a large number of Chinese Super League teams, European teams are conducting winter training, compared to the cold northern Europe, Eastern Europe and Western Europe, Spain in southern Europe has always been a winter training camp for European teams.
The weather here is warm, the field conditions are good, the facilities are advanced, and the Chinese Super League teams can not only contact the local Spanish clubs to play warm-up matches, but also professional teams from other European leagues also train there, making it easy to find warm-up opponents.
These warm-up teams are also very suitable for clubs in the Chinese Super League, after all, the famous big clubs have flown to the rich places to make money, and most of the teams that come here are mostly civilian teams.
The Chinese Super League club and the team that are too powerful are hot, and it is obviously meaningless to inspect the players and team tactics, but it is the middle and lower reaches of the five major European leagues, and the teams of the non-five major leagues are very suitable for testing the weaknesses of the Super League teams.
This time, the first opponent of the Longteng team is none other than the Bundesliga team that is training here - RB Leipzig.
As a team bent on rushing to the Bundesliga, RB Leipzig has made a lot of money this season, several young players of Red Bull Salzburg, including Li Yun, have been transferred, plus the team spent a lot of money to introduce the Hungarian offensive talent Kalmar, bought out the Austrian Rapid Vienna striker Boyd, and swore at the beginning of the season that the slogan of triple jump was proposed.
Unfortunately, RB Leipzig, which was known for its sharp attack and many goals during the German Bundesliga, was dumb in attack, although the back line was as solid as ever - only 12 goals were conceded in 19 games, but it was not possible to get good results just by not conceding goals.
Before the match against RB Leipzig, Zhang Sheng met Li Yun.
This season, RB Leipzig can have such dazzling data at the back, and Li Yun's outstanding performance is inseparable.
Li Yun, who came from Red Bull Salzburg, after experiencing such a high-intensity competition as the Europa League, can be said to play with ease in the face of opponents at the level of the German Second Division.
The backline he led was named the best defensive line in the half, and Li Yun was also named the best newcomer in the 2014-2015 Bundesliga halfway.
So when facing Zhang Sheng, Li Yun seemed very confident, this is the kind of confidence that comes from the heart after being affirmed in a high-level league, and reflected in the game, it is the solid back line led by Li Yun.
After the start of this warm-up game, the transmission tactics of the Longteng team's intensive training some time ago were greatly tested.
In the past, when I was in China, the opponents who were looking for those warm-up games were completely defeated in the face of the fast passing tactics of the Longteng team, and they were often poured into 5 or 6 goals in dozens of minutes.
Now in the face of RB Leipzig's confrontation, it is basically difficult to penetrate the opponent's defense, but it is the "garbage attack" that Red Bull was despised by the players of the Longteng team before the game, which made the team suffer, and the team fell behind 0:2 after only half an hour of the game.
RB Leipzig struggled to score goals in the Bundesliga, but it was a different story against the Dragons.
Of course, the backwardness of the Longteng team also has a certain relationship with Lin Feng's inability to play, and now the team is still using Roque Gilga Tao Wentao's double back combination, which is a set of offensive and defensive weak back combination, which is really difficult to play in the face of a team like RB Leipzig.
Lin Feng has now come to the team with the team to participate in winter training, but after all, he has just recovered from the injury, and he is still in the period of physical adaptation and physical recovery, and he cannot play high-intensity games on the field, so this game is Zhang promoted by Roque Gilga Tao Wentao.
However, this score is something that Zhang Sheng has long expected, after all, the cooperation of Tao Wentao and Roque Gill has played more in training, but less in actual combat, and warming up with a team like Leipzig is the purpose of this trip.
After the second half, Zhang Sheng changed a large number of substitute players, but Tao Wentao and Roque Gill's double back combination has not moved, Red Bull team after testing their attack, also began to make a large number of substitutions, Longteng team at this time in the midfield pressure has become a lot less, Tao Wentao finally has some opportunities to rush to the front of the organization to attack.
Especially with the departure of Li Yun, RB Leipzig has become a lot of confusion in the organization of the defense, Tao Wentao's feeling is still very keen, not long after Li Yun went off the field, Tao Wentao received a pass from Roque Gill after the ball was broken in the midfield, and after a series of quick passes in the midfield, he gave Nie Jiang who came over to cover in front of the penalty area, so that he could get rid of success, and then Nie Jiang turned around and shot with his feet, making the score 1:2.
In the next game, the Longteng team, which made a large number of substitutions, was obviously lacking in strength, and RB Leipzig scored two goals in a row to change the score to 1:4.
For this score, Zhang Sheng is very satisfied, the Red Bull team as a team in the upper reaches of the German Second Division, the strength of the players in the team is mostly above 90, in the face of their own generally only more than 70 and more than 80 ability value of the players, the Longteng team can score a goal, which is considered to have completed the task assigned by Zhang Sheng.
After the game, Rangnick happily shook hands with Zhang Sheng and said, "Your team is getting stronger and stronger." ”
Of course, Zhang Sheng knew that Rangnick was a compliment, and he smiled: "Speaking of strength, Leipzig has really undergone earth-shaking changes, compared to my previous time in the club and now, it is completely surprising." ”
"What does Nie Jiang say about this player?" Rangnick didn't go around in circles with Zhang Sheng again, and directly explained his intention, "When do you think he will be able to come to Europe to play, such a player, to be honest, is really a waste in the Chinese Super League." ”
Zhang Sheng was also speechless, about Nie Jiang's question, Rangnick has mentioned it countless times, every time he exchanges emails and phone calls, Rangnick will mention Nie Jiang, he always pries Zhang Sheng to make Nie Jiang all in Europe, and says that he will ensure that he will not grow slower in Europe than in the Super League.
Zhang Sheng didn't believe Rangnick's words too much, not that he didn't believe in Rangnick's character, but he didn't quite believe that only training in Europe and not playing games could grow faster than playing in the Chinese Super League.
Nie Jiang is under the age of 18 and can't get a European professional team participation certificate, if he only plays youth teams and amateur games in Europe, it is better to play in the Chinese Super League.
Zhang Sheng shrugged helplessly and said: "This depends not only on my wishes, but also on the wishes of the players themselves, he is still young, and he will have to wait a few more years to come to Europe." ”
Rangnick also knew that he had done useless work, so he could only mutter, "That's the way it is again." Alas, you said that this UEFA is also true, why do foreign players have to be over 18 years old to come. ”
Rangnick finally complained a few more words about the UEFA rules.
Zhang Sheng asked about Julian Weigel's situation with great concern, as a player of Longteng Club, but he is playing on loan in the Bundesliga, Julian Weigel is an outlier in the club.
One of the purposes of Zhang Sheng's visit this time was to observe Julian Weigel's performance.
Rangnick once again expressed his admiration for Zhang Sheng's vision: "Julian is very good, don't look at his physical strength, but his ability to control the midfield is not to be said." Now that he's got playing time in the team, at the rate of his progress, there's a good chance he'll be a regular next season, so how about just transfer him to our team, the transfer fee won't disappoint you. ”
Rangnick openly began to dig into the wall.
Where will Zhang Sheng let go so easily, with Julian Weigel's ability and future growth, he is definitely the level of the core player of the upper Bundesliga team, Zhang Sheng will never let go when he is still young, and the time to maximize benefits is far from coming.
Seeing Zhang Sheng's "hehe" expression, Rangnick shrugged and said, "I know that you guy is not so easy to talk to." ”
After meeting with Rangnick, Zhang Sheng and Julian Weigel met in person, and Julian Weigel was still very happy that Zhang Shengken put him in the upper reaches of the German Second Division to play, and the staff arranged by Zhang Sheng in Germany were also very concerned about him, so that Julian Weigel never forgot that he was a member of the Dragon Club.
