77. Young people, there is still a chance

After scoring the goal, Sun Xuhai ran to the corner flag and waved to the audience, and the audience also cheered loudly for the veteran. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Zhang Sheng also had to accept this reality, and he chose to take a risk, so he could only accept the consequences of the adventure.

Liu Jianhong was full of praise for Sun Xuhai: "Xuhai's goal makes us seem to see him again in the national team and in the Premier League." Although Xu Hai didn't score many goals back then, his assists were very sharp. I didn't expect the 35-year-old to score such an important goal for people and the team in such an important game. ”

Xu Yang also said: "Indeed, the players who were with Sun Xuhai at that time have basically retired now, and only he plays in the Chinese Super League team and is the main force." It seems that he has been in good form. ”

The Longteng team, which was behind the score, was also a little hit, and after kicking off again, the young players were a little discouraged, and the scramble in the midfield slowed down significantly. At this time, Xu Mingyu's weakness of lack of leadership temperament was exposed.

However, the new Zhou Zhou reflects the rare temperament of a young man - he just refuses to admit defeat. After being beaten and losing the ball because his assist was too deep, Zhou Zhou did not give up, but continued to assist in the front, but this time he asked Liu Xing to help him look more at the defense behind him, and he also strengthened the counter-robbery of the ball lost in the frontcourt.

Although Sun Xuhai scored a goal this time, after all, he is older, and after being hit by Zhou Zhou many times, his physical fitness gradually can't keep up with the rhythm. After being successfully broken through by Zhou Zhou again, Sun Xuhai couldn't run at all.

Liu Jianhong saw this situation and said: "Now the pressure on the middle of the Longteng team is not as good as before, but this young player on the side is full of hard work." Sun Xuhai still has physical problems. Sure enough, Coach Gao Hongbo replaced Sun Xuhai with Li Kai. ”

Gao Hongbo, who was on the sidelines, did not shake hands with Sun Xuhai after he left the game. Sun Xuhai also walked directly from Gao Hongbo's side. It seems that the contradiction between the two mentioned before the game is indeed true.

After Sun Xuhai got off the field, the right side of the team also became tougher. Li Kai and Chen Jie's people and the right side of the team and the left side of Liu Xing and Zhou Zhou started a fierce collision.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Sheng also played his last card to replace Liu Xing, first of all, to let Yu Bo, who was more physical, rush up, and secondly, because Zhou Zhou and Yu Bo played together since childhood, and they had a more tacit understanding.

Sure enough, this substitution had an effect, and in the 43rd minute of the second half, the Longteng team scored again to equalize the score.

The goal this time is the result of the cooperation between Zhou Zhou and Yu Bo, the two players who grew up together and played together are really tacit. At first, Zhou Zhou cut off Chen Jie's ball, and then Yu Bo and Zhou Zhou ran all the way to the opponent's penalty area, and then in the narrow place on the right side of the penalty area, two beautiful two-by-two in a row, completely defeated Li Kai and Chen Jie, and then because Bo passed the ball in the penalty area, Deng Chaoqun scored the ball.

The Longtengs, who equalised the score, once again saw the hope of victory, and if they scored another goal, they would have won the two more legs on aggregate with away goals. Now the Dragon Teng team is active again.

Liu Jianhong is also cheering for the Longteng team: "The Longteng team equalized. Plus there should be about 5 minutes of stoppage time, and the Dragons still have a chance, this group of lads is really good. ”

At this time, the referee on the sidelines also raised the stoppage time card, and there were four minutes of stoppage time in the second half. Deng Chaoqun, who took the ball from the net and rushed to the kick-off point in the midfield, urged the people and the team to kick off quickly. However, the experienced Gao Hongbo used the rules to replace Rao Weihui with Guo Sheng, which once again strengthened the defense of the midfield.

In the four minutes of stoppage time, the Longteng team besieged the people and the team, but the united man and team defended very successfully, and goalkeeper Zhang Lie saved Lin Feng's very threatening shots twice in a row.

In the end, the match ended with a score of 2:2. With a record of one win and one draw, the team won the FA Cup with a two-legged victory over Longteng and also qualified for the AFC Champions League next season.

When the referee blew the final whistle, the players and coaching staff, including the club's staff, rushed into the pitch to celebrate their first senior title. The players of the Dragons watched their opponents celebrate in disappointment. Gao Jun, who worked hard throughout the game, shed tears, and Xu Mingyu also had red eyes.

When Liu Jianhong congratulated the team and the team, he also comforted the Longteng team: "Congratulations to the team and the team, they won the 2012 Toshiba FA Cup, and they also became the eighth team to win the FA Cup final since the professionalization of Chinese football." This is also the first time in the history of the team to win the championship. Before the game, the team offered a 3000w championship prize for this championship, which seems to have stimulated the whole team. ”

"But I'm more interested in their opponents, the Dragons. This is also the first second-division team in the history of Chinese football to reach the final of the FA Cup, and it is also the lowest-level team in the history of Chinese football to reach the final. They beat a number of Chinese League A and Chinese Super League clubs along the way to reach the final. And this season, they are unbeaten in 30 rounds to be promoted to the middle league, and the home game against Renhe is their first defeat in all competitions this season, which means that they are unbeaten in 37 games this year. I think if it weren't for the fact that two of their key players were drawn into the national youth team before the final, they would have won the FA Cup. ”

"The average age of the team is only 21 years old, and the average age of the players on the field is only 19 years old, and the all-Chinese team represents the future of Chinese football. Although they lost the title race this time, they are still young, and as long as they keep growing like this, they still have more opportunities. At the same time, I wish them a good future. ”

When Liu Jianhong explained affectionately, Zhang Sheng also began to comfort the frustrated players one by one on the field.

When he came to Zhou Zhou's side, the 16-year-old man said with a crying voice: "Coach, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have rushed forward and lost that goal." ”

Zhang Sheng hugged Zhou Zhou's head and said, "Don't say such things, the tactics are all arranged by me, and the responsibility is not yours." You've played well enough, and you have half the credit for that goal. Let's go down and have a good rest, this time it failed, next time we'll come again. ”

Soon the Football Association began the distribution of runner-up medals, and Wei Di, vice chairman of the Football Association who was responsible for awarding the medals, said to Zhang Sheng when he presented the medals: "The Longteng team played very well this year, and you can lead such a team to the finals, you have done a very good job, and you will work hard in the future." ”

Zhang Sheng also forced a smile and said thank you.

After the game, Zhang Sheng took the team back to the locker room. In the locker room, Zhang Sheng comforted the players and said: "In this game, you didn't play badly. Opponents win in experience, we lose in our youth. But being young has the advantage of being young, that is, we have an unlimited future, and we have many opportunities in the future. ”

At the post-match press conference, Zhang Sheng was the first to be interviewed.

The reporter first asked the question of this game. One of the reporters asked: "Why is this game at the home of Renhe and the team, and the Longteng team still plays offense, and the team didn't expect to fail to play offense?"

Zhang Sheng said: "The tactical play of our Longteng team is consistent, no matter what team it is, we will stick to our own style of play, not because of what team it is, nor because of the difference between home and away. ”

Then a reporter asked about the idea of taking the runner-up.

Zhang Sheng replied: "I don't have any other ideas. We have a lot of young people in the team and it's normal for young people to suffer a little bit of setbacks, but because they are young, they have a chance to prove themselves again. ”

After a few minutes, Gao Hongbo was late, when the reporter first congratulated Gao Hongbo, and then asked the question of going abroad for further study, Gao Hongbo replied positively this time: "I am indeed ready to go abroad to continue my studies." Because the mainstream training and tactics in Europe have improved a lot, I feel that I have reached a bottleneck, if I want to improve, I think I need to go to Europe again to learn and recharge, I have already told the players and the club about this and submitted my resignation, so it is a little late. ”

Hearing Gao Hongbo's answer, the reporters below were in an uproar. After all, Gao Hongbo has just won the first championship trophy in history for the people and the team, although it is only the FA Cup, but it is also a very big breakthrough for the people and the team, and the people and the team are not bad in the Super League this season, the people and the team are ranked fourth at the end of the season, and this season against Evergrande at the top of the list is one win and one draw, absolutely dominating. I didn't expect such a big news to be released after the game.

Hurriedly a reporter asked: "I heard that Director Gao has a conflict with people and some players in the team, may I ask if this is the reason for your resignation." ”

Gao Hongbo said very seriously: "This is completely nothing. We are very united within the team, otherwise we would not have won the FA Cup. I was very touched after two games against the Dragons. Although the Dragons lost to us with one draw and one loss, their style of play is very popular in Europe right now. Losing to us is just a lack of players. Coach Zhang Sheng came back from Europe, and his tactics are very advanced. I'm also very optimistic about his future results. ”

Of course, the reporters all know that the first half of Gao Hongbo's words can only be listened to selectively, but the second half is very likely, and the results of Zhang Sheng's team have been unanimously recognized. The title "Barcelona" was still a ridiculous title in the early days, but in the later period, it was really recognized.

Of course, Zhang Sheng also thanked Gao Hongbo for his compliments in the following interview, and also praised Gao Hongbo as the first local coach in China.
