football career from scratch

Chapter 330 More Challenges

For the Ningshui City Stadium, in the decades since it was built, it seems that it has not ushered in consecutive heavyweight games like recently.

After all, Ningshui is only a medium-sized city—although its status in Jiangbei Province is becoming more and more important, and it seems to be no worse than the provincial capital. However, in the past, Jiangbei Province's sports standards were relatively average, especially in football. It is not a strong football province. The highest-level competition held at the Water City Stadium is nothing more than a competition for the National Games...

And now?Just after the AFC Champions League, the Chinese Super Cup will be held!

Compared with the National Games, which has gradually declined, these two competitions can be regarded as quite high standards.

The fans who moved the mountain were very excited about this, while the fans of Haifeng were a little envious. Although Haifeng seemed to have made a big move this year, compared with this team that just emerged, they In terms of honor, he is already far behind Qianshan...

But moving up and down the mountain is not exciting for this kind of thing.

Their goal is very long-term, so even after winning an important game, what they have to do is not to celebrate, but to replay the previous game.

That is to say, Qianshan is a young team that can maintain such enthusiasm.

"In the last game, our offensive operation was still not working well...the second half was good, but for a period of time in the first half, we encountered some troubles in offense. Although Tokyo FC is a team participating in the AFC Champions League, but The strength is not particularly outstanding, and it is nothing more than the level of a mid-range team in the Chinese Super League. However, our performance in the AFC Champions League is not very good. This is a problem of experience, and there is also a problem of performance. The former we need to accumulate, and the latter Otherwise, we can solve it ourselves.”

After a victory, instead of praising the players, there are more demanding criticisms. This kind of thing may bring bad consequences, especially Gao Yuan is still a new head coach.

However, in Qianshan, there was no such problem, because Bu Qingyun was also listening to Gao Yuan's analysis very seriously - the players in Qianshan were convinced by Bu Qingyun, and if Bu Qingyun had no objections, they would not have any opinions.

"In our usual training, we do a lot of tactical drills, but in terms of the mentality of the game, we have to be in sync with the training. No matter how strong the opponent is, it is just an opponent. Even if it is the best team in the world, They also only had [-] people against us. In the next game, we will not be so easy. The strength of Yuanda is very good. We are at home and we must strive for victory."

The players from Qianshan nodded their heads one after another. Last year they completed a double play against Yuanda in the FA Cup, but this year's situation is different.

Yuanda lost two absolute main players at home last year, which greatly affected their performance, and even the second round was also affected. The next game will be a decisive game. Any loss in personnel, they also cultivated several newcomers last year, and this year they replaced a foreign aid with average performance and introduced two more outstanding foreign aids. Compared with last season, their strength has increased again .

In fact, this is not a change in the Yuanda team. The strong rise of Yilan and Qianshan has already made the Chinese Super League players feel threatened, especially since Yilan will play in the Chinese Super League this year, all the powerful players want to keep their positions. , You need better recruitment to increase your strength.

The cultivation of local players, the strong domestic teams have gradually begun to have some effect. After all, a new batch of outstanding players has gradually begun to emerge, and with the introduction of better foreign aid, they have also received enough support.

The Chinese Football Association has relaxed the restrictions on foreign aid this year-expanding the introduction of three foreign aids to four-this change makes many people feel that something is wrong. After all, after reducing the number of foreign aid, local players get more opportunities. Now that we have expanded the number of foreign aid, is it going back the wrong way?

However, there are also many people who speculate that although the Football Association announced that it can introduce one more foreign player this year, it has also stipulated that this regulation will only last for two years. Team, let's see if they can achieve better results under the siege of more outstanding foreign players!

If they can still maintain their outstanding performance under such circumstances, then the extremely heated discussion in the media about letting Yi Lian directly form a new national team to compete for the World Cup will very likely become a reality!

"The Football Association couldn't resist such a temptation... But for this kind of thing, the first headache will be Glance."

Gao Yuan said this to Cheng Xiuran and Bu Qingyun in private.

Cheng Xiuran and Bu Qingyun also thought so, but the real headache was moving mountains.

They will meet Yuanda in the Chinese Super Cup, and Yuanda still has four top foreign players!

Among the three foreign players last year, Yuanda replaced a striker and added a midfielder. In this way, there are top players on the three lines. Under such circumstances, the advantage of moving to local players seems to be It started to drop a little.

"Only winning under such circumstances can prove that Yilan has the ability to challenge the world's powerhouses. This is the same for us." Bu Qingyun said with a smile.

"But in this game, your pressure will be even heavier... Their new midfielder is an all-around midfielder, the main force of the Argentine national team, only as good as Oliveira and Fabrizio." I'm afraid it will be better, Yuanda can get him here, it's a great thing." Gao Yuan reminded Bu Qingyun.

"Sooner or later we will meet players of this level."

Bu Qingyun shrugged his shoulders: "In the AFC Champions League, in addition to the Chinese Super League teams, those teams in West Asia are also very rich, and they also have many top stars. What we lack is to compete with this kind of teams with top stars. With more experience, it will always be a benefit to have one more game.”

Gao Yuan nodded silently. Of course, he knew this very well.

The current world football world is a diversified world football world. Although South America and Europe still have great advantages, Asia and Africa rely on their population and ethnic advantages and have made great progress. At the same time, with sufficient financial resources, Whether it is the Chinese Super League in East Asia or the local tyrants in West Asia, they can spend money to attract some first-class stars in the European League. Last year, they won the championship under the impact of these strong players, coupled with their outstanding performance in the Club World Cup. , This made people start to face up to the proposal of "Let Yilan directly become the national team to compete in the World Cup" which sounds absurd!

After all, as long as you have the strength, no matter how absurd the proposal is, it is not absurd!

If you want to fight with Yilan, then in this regard, Qianshan naturally can't lose.

"Our lineup is actually very complete, the defense has been improved, the forward line has more options, and our midfielder itself is already very strong... Now if we can't compete with this kind of If we fight against top teams, even in a few years, we will not be able to compete with such top teams, which shows that our strength, which is at this level, cannot reach a higher level."

Cheng Xiuran looked at Bu Qingyun and said, Bu Qingyun nodded silently.

Although Cheng Xiuran didn't say it clearly, Bu Qingyun knew what Cheng Xiuran meant.

To compete with Yilan, Qianshan has to show the same level as Yilan. Before, it can be said that Qianshan still needs time to grow and the team is not perfect enough, but now Qianshan has a complete lineup and players. Both have already improved very high. Under such circumstances, if they can't show the strength that can challenge Yilan head-on, then it's better to let go of that unrealistic goal.

There is only such a chance to move mountains. When Yilan is in full swing, defeat Yilan in the FA Cup or AFC Champions League to prove that he has the strength to replace Yilan!

Otherwise, the list will not give the slightest chance to move the mountain.

Although it seems that Qianshan is not qualified to stand in front of Yilan, but for Qianshan, the next season's competition will be their decisive battle!

"I understand what you mean... If we can't do it this year, then let's just be a normal club." Bu Qingyun let out a long breath and said to Cheng Xiuran.

"How do I feel that our club can never be normal." Gao Yuan muttered.

Cheng Xiuran and Bu Qingyun laughed at the same time.

For many people, Qianshan is indeed not a normal club.

It has only been established for two years, and no players have been introduced. Basically, it is internally tapping the potential and finding a few amateur players everywhere, and they can achieve such good results. Bu Qingyun, Dong Lin, and Xie Dongping opened the book. No one has heard of it, but it possesses such outstanding strength...

In fact, if it weren't for the same club as Glance, which first emerged to attract most of the attention, Moving Mountain would definitely attract a lot of attention and investigation.

However, looking at the front blocked too many things, and the backstage of the base also helped them solve a lot of problems. Nothing to investigate either.

For Yuanda, last season, they were relatively unsuccessful.

Although they defended the title of the Chinese Super League champions, after passing through their own exchange period, winning two Chinese Super League titles is enough to prove that Yuanda has begun to become stable again. However, they were eliminated by Qianshan in the FA Cup, and the AFC Champions League only entered the semi-finals. If they lose, even if they win the Chinese Super League championship, for them, it is just an ordinary season that is not bad.

It is precisely because of such stimulation that the owner of Evergrande, whose investment has become rational in the past ten years, began to open his wallet again before this season. Two older international players were sold out and two current players were brought in. The domestic players who have played in the past year have promoted two rookies from the youth team, and with the addition of new foreign players, Yuanda's goal in the new season is to win all the championships!

The Football Association Cup, the Chinese Super League, the AFC Champions League... Of course, the Chinese Super Cup, which looks like a tasteless champion, is also indispensable!
