Chapter 2 (14)

The team finally qualified from the group, which is undoubtedly a good thing, but Zheng Changsheng, as the head coach of the team, could not be happy in any way. Especially when he found out that there was such a situation in front of him, his heart became more and more heavy.

The opponents in Chengdu are relatively fixed, and the new era will face one first and two second places in the other three regions in the first stage of the finals, and if the team can make it to the second stage, then the four teams that will advance to the finals will face each other one by one until the last two lucky winners who will advance to A B will be contested. Now the problem arises - he has no idea what the opponent is going to face. Because he was not sure whether his team would qualify before this, he did not specifically tell Sun Junshan to collect this information, and now that the club obviously did not expect that he would go so far in the first season, there was no preparation at all, and all he could provide him with was a list of players from other promoted teams and a few boxes of videotapes. These things are almost useless, he can't guess the opponent with a list, not to mention that these videos don't know where they were ripped or ** down, not to mention the blurry picture, most of them are training scenes or teaching games before the group stage, and even the number of a player can't be seen clearly......

He immediately found Sun Junshan, the general manager who was personally cutting newspapers for briefings, and told him about the bad situation and asked him to come out with a proper way.

"It's easy to solve." Sun Junshan didn't take this seriously at all. He put down his work, sat down opposite the old coach, handed Zheng Changsheng a cigarette, and said while lighting a fire for him, "Other clubs have contacted us, they want the video of Qingdao Double Happiness in the group stage, and they exchange it for the video we need." ”

Zheng Changsheng didn't come back to his senses for a while, and asked, "What do they want the video of Qingdao Double Happiness for?" ”

"Qingdao Double Happiness has also qualified." Sun Junshan glanced at him in surprise. "In the second game yesterday, Guangdong Mingzhu drew ...... It's a pity that they had more than 30 shots on goal, and they didn't score one. He suddenly remembered that yesterday's game of his own team, it was also twenty or thirty shots on goal, and he couldn't get a ball in, if it weren't for Zheng Changsheng replacing Gao Jinsong as the center forward like a stroke of genius, it would be absolutely impossible for the two of them to sit here and discuss what video tape is right now.

"Oh." Zheng Changsheng nodded. He remembered that someone had mentioned it to him the previous evening, but he didn't care. For him, it doesn't matter who the other team in this group is, the two clubs can't meet before the finals anyway, and he can't even think about the finals so far away now.

"We have to get to Chengdu as soon as possible, as soon as possible." He said.

"Why?"

"It is convenient to exchange information in Chengdu. In addition, you can observe a few opponents up close, and maybe you can gain something. Because he was talking to the general manager of the club, Zheng Changsheng didn't have so many scruples, and said directly, "When you get to Chengdu, you can enter the pre-game preparations, and the players don't have time to mess with those messy things." We already played one more game than the teams in other divisions, and the rest time was seven or eight days less than others, and it was not good for the later games to let the players go wild. ”

There is at least a week less adjustment period than other teams, which is another thing that Zheng Changsheng is worried about. He's seen a lot of things happen when a good situation collapses because of fitness issues, and he can't tolerate his players spending energy off the pitch at a time when they don't necessarily have enough.

Sun Junshan, who knows a little about football, is aware of the seriousness of the problem. He immediately answered the phone of a vice president in charge of administrative affairs of the club, and asked him to hurry up and contact the flights, air tickets, accommodation and transportation in Chengdu, etc., even if the club's logistics staff could not go to Chengdu on the same plane with the team, he had to pull the team over first.

"If I can get today's plane ticket, I will ask Dai Zhenguo to go over and see the training ground arranged for us in Chengdu first, if not, we have to find a place quickly." Zheng Changsheng added on the side. His worries were not unfounded. Chengdu also has a local second-division team that has advanced to the finals, and it is also in the same group as the new era, if the opponent takes advantage of this advantage, he only needs to distance the accommodation and training ground of the foreign club, and he can teach everyone to not even find the strength to scold his mother - the strength is all tossed to the road between the hotel and the training ground.

Sun Junshan, who suddenly came to his senses, simply asked the vice president to go to Chengdu with Dai Zhenguo in the afternoon. After all, Dai Zhenguo is only an assistant coach with limited power, and it is better to let the vice president come forward for some things that need to be paid on the spot. It's not that he can't trust Dai Zhenguo, but because it's the club's rules and regulations.

Before Sun Junshan's phone was put down, the phone rang, and another club approached him, wanting to ask for the video and information of Qingdao Double Happiness's game.

It's too simple, you just need to rip a few more sets of Qingdao Double Happiness game videos. Sun Junshan instructed the club staff to deal with the matter quickly, and at the same time found the phone number of the president of another club from the phone book, and bluntly asked for an exchange of information.

He was busy here, and Zheng Changsheng, who had nothing to do, opened the "cut" newspaper he made.

The latest piece of the article, which is not much bigger than a slap, is titled like this: "Second Division: What a 'messy' word"

The wrinkles on Zheng Changsheng's forehead and the corners of his eyes immediately increased. He smiled. This topic is too apt, his team is the most famous member of the word "chaos", not only the most potential and most favored provincial city in this group Mingyuan out of the game, maybe he will have to stir up in Chengdu again, maybe stir it up, in the chaos his team will be mixed into the first B......

However, the content of the article is somewhat different from his ideas.

The new era is also mentioned in this article, but this is not the focus of the article, and all the author's pen and ink is to describe and render a small club in another division. This small club, which was still desperately recruiting people before the deadline for the registration of professional players stipulated by the Football Association, is now the biggest favorite to advance to League B this year, with only 22 players, but they won all seven games in the group stage, not only the first in the league to qualify for the final, but their impressive record of scoring 15 goals and conceding 3 goals is even more terrifying. The article also mentioned that the team's offensive and defensive switching speed is "faster than that of some A-A teams", and the attack is smooth, concise and "gorgeous", "The smooth coordination has attracted a large number of spectators in this city without football, so that the tickets for the second division are sold out", which cannot but be said to be "rare". The article believes that the reason why this team has come to this point is largely because the head coach has eclectic use of an amateur player who is not from a professional background; As for the young player who just registered with the Football Association more than a month ago, the author of the article did not hesitate to give a high evaluation of "unlimited future...... It was only at the end of the article, while regretting that several old clubs could not go to Chengdu, the author mentioned the new era, except for a sentence "The old coach Zheng Changsheng is quite skilled in on-the-spot substitutions and tactical scheduling", and only said that Zhang Chi, the current top scorer in the second division, "showed his edge".

Zheng Changsheng read the article again and put it down. The clubs and new era mentioned in the newspapers are not in the same group and are not worth the attention and research of a lot. All he was curious about now was how much money the author had charged the club for putting so much effort into concocting such a article. He couldn't help but sneer at the author in his heart, does this guy know what he's talking about? Faster than the A-A team, and with the flow of the clouds, these words look more like talking nonsense with your eyes open. However, it is impossible to fabricate the whole win in the group stage, and after he arrives in Chengdu, he will take the time to find the video of the team's game, and if he has free time, he also wants to go to the scene to watch. He didn't do this to write an article to refute the author's nonsense, but he thought it was not a bad idea to watch the videos and competitions, and he couldn't tell when it would come in handy.

Sun Junshan came back after dealing with the affairs at hand. He sat back on the couch, took a sip of water from his teacup, and then said, "Everything is almost done." Dai instructed them to go over this evening. The team's flight ticket is booked until 3.17pm tomorrow afternoon, and I have asked the club to inform the players separately. He looked at the presentation book spread out in front of him, smiled, and asked, "Have you read that article too?" Seeing Zheng Changsheng nodding, he asked again, "Do you think that's possible?" Tickets are sold out, which sounds more like a joke. Not to mention the clubs in A and B, I know that even the tickets of many A and A clubs are unsold. ”

Zheng Changsheng also laughed with him. yes, if you really want to find a thorn, that article is full of holes. But he didn't echo Sun Junshan to continue the topic, but told him to see if it was possible to find a video of the game of the team that was about to be praised to the sky.

Sun Junshan was full of promises. It's a trivial matter, just ask a few clubs that trade with you to rip a few more boxes of tape, and it's not worth mentioning a few more tickets to the game. But......

"What are you watching their game videos for? Do you really want to watch their game? ”

"Be prepared, lest you be blinded when the time comes." Zheng Changsheng said casually.

Sun Junshan glared at the old coach with a shocked face.

Zheng Changsheng quickly realized what he meant by this. Before he knew it, he was already planning for the team to reach the finals. This time he was surprised, this was something he hadn't even thought about. He himself couldn't understand why he was so sure that the team would make it to the finals. This sudden change made him a little flustered, because he really couldn't find a reason to convince himself, let alone find a reason to point out Sun Junshan.

Fortunately, Sun Junshan didn't plan to use this question to embarrass him. In fact, Sun Junshan's thoughts did not turn in that direction at all. There are other things churning in the general manager's mind, for example, he has never understood why the old coach always doesn't let Gao Jinsong play as the main force, and let this young young starter who sent the team to Chengdu head by foot?

"Director Zheng, next, how are you going to use Gao Jinsong?" He posed the question. But he immediately regretted it, he should have mentioned it more tactfully, and he should have talked about it again after a bit of talk about it. But this question has been in his heart for a long time, and he really can't hold it back.

Zheng Changsheng was silent.

"I'm just curious." Sun Junshan said with a smiling face, "Anyway, it's nothing, just a casual chat." "There is a gentleman's agreement between him and Zheng Changsheng, as a layman, he will never ask about the use of the players and the technical and tactical arrangements of the team, so whenever several coaches quarrel about these matters, he will hardly express any opinions, even if he has to come out and set the tone, he will unswervingly stand on Zheng Changsheng's side. But now he has to ask this matter clearly, whether it is out of the selfishness of the old coach to let Gao Jinsong as a substitute, or purely tactical needs, or other reasons.

Speaking from the heart, Sun Junshan likes Gao Jinsong very much as a young player, not only because Gao Jinsong is one of the few players he personally found, but also because Gao Jinsong's calm personality is very angry with him, and this young man is not as swaggering as most people. What is rare is that he still has some skills on the field, I don't know how much better than those guys who brag about themselves every day, at least out of the team's eighteen points, he alone contributed at least six points - yesterday's victory in the key game was assigned to Gao Jinsong by Sun Junshan without hesitation, and Zhang Chi's goal was naturally ignored in his heart by the self-proclaimed and fair general manager. In this way, Sun Junshan inevitably can't help but feel sorry for Gao Jinsong: how can such a player not be the main force?

Zheng Changsheng took the cigarette roll handed over by Sun Junshan, lowered his head and lit it on the lighter he brought over, and continued to be silent. If he remembers correctly, this is the first time that Sun Junshan has cared about the use of players, and this is the first time he named Gao Jinsong, but this is still a problem that he can't avoid - aside from the rest, Gao Jinsong's two goals before and after can't be avoided, Gao Jinsong's long-range shot opened the door to the team's winning streak, and the weight of the header yesterday afternoon is even more immeasurable......

After a long time, Zheng Changsheng said slowly: "Let him be a substitute, more out of tactical considerations." He paused, thought for a moment, and continued, "His absolute speed is slow, and it's easy to drag the attack back......"

Sun Junshan smacked his mouth and wanted to say something - what's the big deal about slow speed, as long as the game is won, what does it matter if the speed is fast or slow? But he didn't say it in the end. It's just that his disapproving expression couldn't hide it, and all of them were seen by Zheng Changsheng, who happened to raise his eyelids.

Zheng Changsheng didn't care either, and continued: "Slow speed is not a big problem, but it is a big problem that he affects the team's offensive and defensive rhythm; Without the rhythm that the players have become accustomed to, the players are more likely to fall into fatigue in the game, not to mention the inability to effectively grasp and control the situation of the game, which is easy to have local loopholes, give the opponent a chance, and the next consequences are likely to be unimaginable. He looked at Sun Junshan, who seemed to understand whether he understood or not, "This is just one of them." Second, our team usually uses the 'four-four-two' tactic, the responsibility of the two midfielders is to defend and respond, and the two wings are responsible for the organization and coordination of the attack, but if he is on the field, you can also see, it can't actually be regarded as 'four-four-two', but 'four-one-three-two' or 'four-one-two-two', he has become the starting point of the attack, and has become the fulcrum of balancing offense and defense, do you know what this means? He gazed at Sun Junshan as if he were his own student.

Sun Junshan shook his head in confusion. He was confused by these numbers. Is there a difference between "four-four-two" and "four-one-three-two"? Aren't there four players in the middle?

"The difference is who is the organizer of the attack."

Does it make a difference? Whoever attacks isn't all the same?

"Of course there is a difference. It's really about who holds the baton on the pitch. Zheng Changsheng decided not to go around in circles with the general manager, and said bluntly, "This determines whether to let Gao Jinsong revolve around Chen Mingcan and Ma Cheng, or let Chen Mingcan and Ma Cheng revolve around Gao Jinsong." Whoever is the core is the leader on the pitch......"

I see!

Sun Junshan immediately understood.

Of course, the bigwigs in Chen Mingcan and Ma Cheng's team can't always revolve around Gao Jinsong's baton, in that case, their prestige in the team will inevitably be affected, and they can't tolerate a young man like Gao Jinsong serving as the tactical core of the team, which will make another guy with a transcendent status like Guan Mingshan appear in the team. Especially when Sun Junshan thinks of Gao Jinsong and his ability to make a final decision at a critical moment, and then links it to his usual speech and demeanor, this is almost a good material for being a captain - it's a pity that he is too young. Wait!

"Director Zheng, maybe you can't care about these at this time, right?"

Zheng Changsheng naturally heard the dissatisfaction in Sun Junshan's words, and said: "The backbone of our team is a group of veteran players, and their physical fitness may not be able to fully support the next 90-minute game. After all, football is a team sport, and no matter how strong an individual is, it can only be repeated. What's more, not letting him start is actually a kind of protection for him......" He glanced at Sun Junshan meaningfully.

Sun Junshan chewed Zheng Changsheng's words with his lips and nodded silently.

"Further, there are more benefits to Gao Jinsong coming off the bench. He can play almost all positions, which makes our tactics full of variables, and the opponent has no time to get used to him, so he can play the role of a surprise soldier - the opponent didn't expect him to be a center forward in yesterday's game, which allowed us to seize the opportunity; Qingdao Shuangxi didn't know that he was more qualified as a midfielder, and he became the core of the team's organization, and the rhythm of our team would be completely out of shape, so it also suffered our losses; The previous Beijing Xingren also let him shoot calmly without interference because he didn't know him...... So he's much more useful as a substitute than as a mainstay, especially in a crucial game like this. The opponent will never guess where we will put him, and he will never know what kind of tactical means we will adopt next. ”

Sun Junshan was completely impressed. He didn't expect that Zheng Changsheng would think about such a big article on the use of Gao Jinsong, no wonder the old man was still preparing for the finals just now, obediently, if Director Zheng thought through every position of each player so thoroughly, if he didn't enter the finals, it would be called God's eyes.

Even Zheng Changsheng himself was persuaded by his own big article, and this improvised explanation to deal with Sun Junshan could almost be used as a game guide for the next stage of the team.

"I'll take the time to talk to Xiao Gao when I go back, but I can't let this little guy carry any ideological baggage because he can't play the main force."

After listening to the old coach's words, Sun Junshan smiled happily and said, "I'll also go talk to him and help you do his job." ”
