1.047 got off to a bad start
The domestic affairs were handed over to Wen Shuting, and Li Chengfeng said that he was very relieved, he understood Wen Shuting's ability and personality. However, Li Chengfeng could not relax, and after he went home to visit his parents, he came to the UK again. In England, Lee Seung-phong found a club in England that was willing to accept him, Sheffield's local team - Sheffield FC, and he will be a part-time coach in the team, responsible for some of the team's training.
This is an amateur team, but it has a long history, it is the first football club in the world recognized by FIFA, and CCTV has interviewed this club before, which can be regarded as having some ties to China. They accepted Lee as one of their part-time coaches, but Lee felt that his unpaid offer was even more appealing to Sheffield FC, a club at the bottom of the English league system that is in a bad situation and no amount of history can change that.
In the CM world, Lee Seung-bong also ushered in his first Premier League game, which was at home, Sheffield Wednesday will face Charlton Athletic at Heathborough Stadium, the same Charlton who was robbed of Darren Bent by Sheffield Wednesday, and they also snatched Sheffield Wednesday's Braten in retaliation.
With a capacity of nearly 40,000 people, the Sheffield Wednesday fans need to vent their emotions after five years in the Premier League, singing and dancing in the stands, singing loudly and unleashing their enthusiasm, and they want to give full vent to the passion of these five years this season, even if Sheffield Wednesday returns to the Championship after this season, they will at least prove that they have been here.
But Lee won't let that happen, and he's going to lead promoted Masheffield Wednesday to do something big in the Premier League this season and make it known that he exists.
Sheffield Wednesday stuck with last season's pass-and-control style of play, with Spanish defender Juanfran taking Francis' place in the starting line-up, with better passing skills and a greater sense of moving forward.
Facing this mid-table team in the Premier League, Sheffield Wednesday did not accidentally control the midfield, Guardiola, Yaya Toure and Modric composed of a three-man midfield with defense, organization, and long-range shots, plus Ribery and Lennon on both wings, pressed Charlton's four-man midfield immobilized, and soon Bent scored the leading goal.
Sheffield Wednesday team controlled the situation on the field, but Charlton did not admit defeat, since they can't control the midfield, then don't want the midfield, they sacrificed the long pass that they are good at, not through the midfield, the backfield directly opened the foot to the front to find the striker, and the midfield followed up.
It was a simple, but effective style of play, which was much stronger in the Premier League than in the Championship, with a more resolute execution of tactics and a stronger player, and it was soon up to Blatten to score a goal.
Charlton, who equalised, made persistent efforts, taking advantage of the fact that the young Sheffield Wednesday players had not recovered from the blow of the goal just conceded, and broke the ball in midfield to play a counterattack by Sheffield Wednesday, and the result was Braten again, he successfully countered offside and broke through the Sheffield Wednesday defense, and Antonini couldn't catch up with the speed of his dribbling. Braten scored another goal and Charlton overtook the score.
Bratteng, who scored twice, was so excited that he took off his shirt and brandished it and ran around the sidelines, while the Heath Stadium was silent, and the fans looked at the running former Sheffield Wednesday striker with mixed feelings, and for a moment did not know how to react.
Li Chengfeng is not willing to lose the first game of the new season, the opponent is not a big team, and he is not willing to lose to the outburst of the abandoned player Blaten, he commanded the team to attack frantically, and must get the score back before the end of the first half.
Sheffield Wednesday's efforts paid off, as Juanfran on the right and Lennon combined to break through to attract the attention of Charlton's defenders, who slotted the ball to Ribery on the left. Ribery cut inside without waiting for the defender to come up, killed Charlton in the box, and shot from the edge of the box, the ball was saved by Charlton's goalkeeper and bounced back into the box, and the keen Bent arrived immediately, fell to the ground and stabbed the ball under the pull of the defender, and hit the ball into Charlton's goal.
Sheffield Wednesday equalised and the first half was nearing the end and Sheffield Wednesday also recovered to defend solidly and wait for the break.
The second half of the game was much duller, Sheffield Wednesday was worried about Charlton's counterattack, and did not dare to press too much, Guardiola is still old, and he has more than enough strength to defend it, Modric's main task is to connect the midfield, and it is impossible to retreat to the position of the back to help defend, and Yaya Toure alone is really unable to support the defense of the midfield. Charlton didn't dare to act rashly when the two wings were blown up, and they stationed troops at the back to prevent Sheffield Wednesday's wide breakaway.
Neither side could achieve anything in the second half, and although Guarin's replacement of Pep Guardiola made Sheffield Wednesday's midfield more solid, the organisation dropped a bit. Despite being trained by Guardiola for a year, Guarin's organizational ability has not improved much, and I have to say that people are different.
Lee Seung-pong's first Premier League game ended in a 2-2 draw at home to Charlton Athletic, and in the post-match press conference, Lee Seung-pong was very firm in the face of reporters' ill-intentioned questions, "Braten is a good player, but Bent is better, you will know that at the end of the season." ”
Sheffield Wednesday fans also debated the question of who was better, Braten or Darren Bent, they both scored 2 goals in the first game, so that the fans could not tell the difference, but Braten has more supporters, for this young man who has fought in Heatburg for 2 years and scored dozens of goals, Sheffield Wednesday fans have more feelings, and the sense of identification with Bent, who has taken his place, is much worse, and more because of the relationship between Lee Seung-bong and chose to support Bent," The coach has never let us down, and since he would choose Bent naturally has his reasons, we just have to watch them perform. ”
Lee Seung-bong certainly won't disappoint them, and he knows that Bent will soon make everyone forget about Braten. However, the problems that occurred in the last game Li Chengfeng had to pay attention.
The aged Pep Guardiola is no longer used to the intensity of intense Premier League matches, and Toure has not been able to protect Guardiola well behind him, resulting in Guardiola being broken through the defence, and Sheffield Wednesday's tactics have been greatly limited.
These problems are not visible in training, and Sheffield Wednesday's players will not be ruthless against the respected Pep Guardiola in training, and Guardiola is also working part-time as a coach, let alone trying his best. So Guardiola, who originally thought it would be fine, will only expose such serious defensive problems when he arrives in the Premier League, even beyond his contribution to the team's organization.
Changes must be made, but Guarin and Toure do not have the ability to organize at the back, Li Chengfeng discussed with the coaching staff for a long time, and decided to withdraw Modric to organize and send Ederson to connect the frontcourt, although Ederson's organizational ability is average, but his vertical propulsion ability and goal scoring ability are stronger than Modric, and Ribery can also cut into the organization, which can make up for the decline in frontcourt organization.
In training, the squad performed well, with Luka Modric showing good organisation in the midfield position, and he was able to keep the defensive intensity out of his running efforts, although everything was still to be tested in the official game.
Sheffield Wednesday will be away to Premier League giants Liverpool, which will be an uphill battle, but Lee Seung-bong will not give up, and if he wants to challenge for Champions League qualification, Liverpool and Arsenal are two mountains that cannot be avoided.
However, the result of the game was 0:1, and Sheffield Wednesday lost the game without any suspense, and to Lee's disappointment, the gap between the two teams in the game was much larger than the difference in the scoreline.
Modric is better at organizing the ball in the short and medium distances, and the long-pass organization ability that is most needed in the midfield position is obviously insufficient, and there are often situations where the pass to the two wings is not in place, but is counterattacked. In addition, although his defensive ability is much better than Guardiola, it is achieved by his relentless running to interfere with the opponent's players, and his positional sense in defense is not good, and he cannot do a strong defense. Liverpool's goal was the result of his defensive misplacement that allowed Garcia to break through and shoot into the corner of the six-yard box. But Li Chengfeng has no way to blame his performance, this is not what he is good at, just like letting Messi be the goalkeeper, a person can only play his ability if he is placed in the right position, forcing the player to play the wrong position, and if something goes wrong, the coach's responsibility is greater.
And the defeat to Liverpool wasn't just Modric's problem, Sheffield Wednesday's attack didn't work out either. Lennon was blown up by the opposing Reese, the immature Lennon is far from being Reese's opponent, and once Lennon is exploded, the strong and weak Juanfran can't restrain the erupted Reese, plus Gerrard's response, Sheffield Wednesday's right side has become a corridor for Liverpudlians to pass freely.
At the same time, Ribery on the left side was also unable to play at his own level, and although he had the upper hand in the confrontation with Colwill, Liverpool's back three effectively stifled his further play. Lennon on the other flank couldn't help him attract fire, and Ribery's Neche couldn't get the most out of Liverpool's focused care and was greatly reduced. As for Ederson, under Sissoko's care, he barely even had a chance to get the ball.
With the midfield contained and the two wings unable to play, Sheffield Wednesday's attack was bogged down, and if it weren't for the excellent performance of the defenders and goalkeepers, Sheffield Wednesday would not have lost a goal. However, Liverpool's forward strength is really not very good, even Li Chengfeng can't see it, if they can have a strong striker, they will not only compete for the Champions Cup qualification over the years.
