After this game, Zhang Sheng was also driven away by his mother and mother-in-law who were in the way, and Zhang Sheng, who originally wanted to care about his wife, could only return to the club, and just used this time to solve the problem of Qin Minghao and Li Yun with Rangnick. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Rangnick, who had used this time to get to know each other better, seemed a little anxious. Because the European League is basically going to start in another month, RB Leipzig, which rushed to the German second division this year, is also recruiting aggressively, thinking of rushing into the German second division in one go. Qin Minghao and Li Yun, who have been paying attention to the Longteng team, and have long regarded the two of them as forbidden Red Bulls, when they saw Qin Minghao and Li Yun's excellent performance in the World Youth Championships and were ranked in the official best team by FIFA, they knew that it would not be so simple to get the two of them easily.

Even Red Bull, who are far away in Germany, have heard that more than one German club is in contact with Longteng FC, and these clubs have a clear goal of signing two people to open up the Chinese market. This makes RB Leipzig, which has long coveted the Chinese market and has already hooked up with the Dragon Club, feel very nervous. Rangnick's travelling all the way from Germany during such an important period of pre-race preparation is a testament to how serious they are.

Although the Longteng team has signed a preferential contract with the Red Bull team for the delivery of outstanding players, and the Red Bull team has also introduced many excellent coaches to the Longteng club, many of the Bundesliga teams that want to buy Qin Minghao and Li Yun are old Bundesliga teams, and they will do better than the Red Bull team in this regard. So the Red Bulls, who were at a disadvantage, had to lower their frame.

And Zhang Sheng also firmly grasped the other party's mentality.

The first to ask for help was Rangnick: "Coach Zhang, I came here this time to ask Qin Minghao and Li Yun if they have any ideas about playing in Europe." We at Red Bull are looking forward to both of them. ”

But Zhang Sheng's words hit Rangnick's death hole: "I heard that according to the recruitment rules of the German C, the German B team cannot directly introduce players from non-EU teams." Qin Minghao and Li Yun do have the idea of playing in Europe, but the Red Bulls can't solve their problems now. ”

In fact, Zhang Sheng was very reluctant to send the two of them to Europe now. After all, next season's Longteng team is about to play in the Chinese Super League, and the importance of Qin Minghao and Li Yun, who are the offensive and defensive core of the team respectively, to the team is self-evident. The simultaneous departure of Qin Minghao and Li Yun would be devastating to the team's tactics.

According to Zhang Sheng's idea, the Longteng team is ready to slowly correct Xu Mingyu to play the core of the midfield to replace Qin Minghao, and let Ma Yongli, who has the second potential in the defensive line, to replace Li Yun as the core of the defense. In this way, the team has a cohesive process in the layout of tactics.

It's a pity that Sporting Lisbon's purchase of Xu Mingyu and Xu Mingyu's own strong desire to stay abroad made Zhang Sheng have to let him go. In this way, the Longteng team directly lost the core substitute of the organization in the midfield, and now the only person in the team who can replace Qin Minghao's position is Ivo.

Ivo is a player who is easy to use, but only at the level of the Chinese League, if it really comes to the level of the Chinese Super League, if the Longteng team wants to have the strength of a top team, Ivo is a little inadequate, and judging from Ivo's performance, too much dribbling and slightly slower passing are a relatively big flaw for him.

Generally speaking, if it is a small club that is based on relegation and strives for the top, Ivo is enough, but if he is used as a midfielder who controls the rhythm, it is average, and if you add the AFC Champions League that the Longteng team is preparing to impact, then his strength is even more unremarkable. This is really a bit substandard for the Longteng team, which also wants to produce results in the AFC Champions League.

If Qin Minghao leaves, the midfielder needs someone to share more of his on-field work, which will be a big challenge for Zhang Sheng's tactics in the future.

As for Li Yun's departure, it was an even greater loss for the Longteng team. It's not that Li Yun's ability is stronger than Qin Minghao, but Li Yun's departure has made the backcourt of the Longteng team less people to command the defense, and he can calmly command the formation in the rapid changes of the game on the court, which can share a lot of work for the head coach. Li Yunzheng is such a rare player.

Now the team's defensive ability is not bad, McGovern as a sub-outside, has height, body, has a very strong frontal steal ability, and can also play the back when necessary; at the same time, as the team's key training, although Ma Yongli's air defense ability is slightly weaker, but his speed, technology, grabbing and passing and receiving ability is not worse than Li Yun, and he can fully play Li Yun's central defender forward tactical means.

However, the Longteng team without Li Yun needs a certain amount of time to adjust Ma Yongli into the point of the backline, and he cannot be compared with Li Yun in terms of judging the overall situation.

It's just that in Zhang Sheng's mind, Qin Minghao and Li Yun are both players who are almost 20 or 21 years old, and if they can go to Europe to play at this stage, it will be of great help to their growth. It's up to Rangnick to convince himself with what he can do.

Apparently Rangnick has made sufficient preparations for his arrival, and he has proposed as many as three optionsFacing Zhang Sheng's question about the unavoidable recruitment rules, Rangnick said: "Regarding the question of their two players, we have three options within the club for you to choose from. ”

Zhang Sheng was also a little surprised, there are three plans in such an unfavorable situation, so it seems that RB Leipzig still has a lot of thought: "Then you talk about it." ”

"The first option is the simplest, which is that we bring in the two of them, but they can only play in the youth team, not in the Bundesliga this year. Because the youth team is not subject to the recruitment rules. But they have to have a year of playing experience. Rangnick said the first option.

Zhang Sheng refused without thinking about it, the level of competition in the German League itself is not necessarily higher than that of next year's Chinese Super League, and if you can only play in the youth league, it will be even more meaningless. Zhang Sheng will never let his two core players play at a low level, even if the Red Bull team gives a good transfer condition, Zhang Sheng will not agree, a year of waste is far more serious than this.

Rangnick shrugged his shoulders as well, obviously knowing that Zhang Sheng would not agree to such a condition, and he went on to say the second way: "You know that our club is not owned by just one football club, the Red Bull Group has its own teams on all continents. ”

Hearing Rangnick say this, Zhang Sheng also nodded. Red Bull, as a "functional drink", is actually medically untenable. Its claimed main ingredient, taurine, does not actually have anti-fatigue and excitatory effects. What really works in the drink is a lot of ****** and sugar.

In the beginning, it took a different channel and used a different advertising medium than Coke: it did not attack the mass market, but created an "anti-brand" atmosphere. With its extremely unpalatable taste and extremely high price, it divides two polarized groups among those who have tried it: "ingroup" and "outgroup". Ingroup is attacked by Outgroup, and brands are also attacked by Outgourp, so the connection between brands and InGroup is gradually getting stronger. The ingroup is also closely linked to each other, creating a unique, self-contained, cynical and independent group. This group is self-admitting and self-affirming.

In order to advertise the cool image of this group, Red Bull started by sponsoring various extreme sports without putting any ads in any mainstream media. It ties its image to the two by sponsoring extreme sports and channels to create the image of a cool secret society.

However, gradually its main market is close to saturation, and it needs to develop new growth points close to the mainstream market, with motorsport and football both being its attempts. It wants to expand its consumer base as much as possible without deviating from its original image.

So soccer teams are still used for marketing, but they rely much more on sports sponsorship for marketing than Coke and other traditional beverage manufacturers. So in addition to having a club in Austria, the home country of the Red Bull Group, there are his football teams in Germany, the United States, Brazil and Ghana.

Rangnick continued: "The two options are, we can buy both of them and let them play elsewhere. One is the United States or Brazil. ”

Without waiting for Rangnick to finish speaking, Zhang Sheng refused: "No, I don't trust the level of the American football league." As for Brazil, it's even more impossible. The two of them won't go there, especially Qin Minghao. ”

Rangnick looked puzzled: "Why? I think the American and Brazilian leagues are more competitive than China, and I believe that we will be able to play in the Bundesliga next year, and then we will bring them back to RB Leipzig." ”

Zhang Sheng shook his head and said: "I think the center of football is still in Europe, if they want to play abroad, they should go to Europe, and it will be good for them to adapt to the football atmosphere in Europe as soon as possible." ”

Hearing Zhang Sheng say this, Rangnick said seriously: "Then there is only one last choice, go to play for Red Bull Salzburg in Austria first, but I can't guarantee that the two of them will be the main position in this team." ”

Hearing Rangnick say this, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but feel a little excited, because Red Bull Salzburg is not an ordinary team, they are now a well-deserved football hegemon in Austrian football. After Red Bull bought it in 2005, they have won six Olympic titles until 2015 and have performed well in the Europa League on several occasions. If Qin Minghao and Li Yun join it, it will still be very helpful for their growth. (To be continued.) )
