Super Marshal

On October 30, as the last round of the Chinese Super League came to an end, the national team once again assembled in Kunming, Yunnan.

In the 30th round of the Chinese Super League, the Guangzhou team defeated the Shandong team 4-0, leading the second place by four points and winning the Chinese Super League championship for the sixth consecutive year, creating a peak dynasty for them. .

The BJ team also beat Henan 3-1 at home, but in the end they could only rank fifth in the Chinese Super League behind Jiangsu and the two Shanghai teams. The league points were the same as Fuli and Hebei teams, both with 40 points, while Fuli They lost in the last round against Hebei.

In other words, before the final round, the BJ team's league ranking was seventh.

Since winning the first league championship in the club's history in 2009, BJ's league ranking has been deteriorating. It was able to maintain the top three in the league before, but in the past two years it has been difficult to reach the AFC Champions League. Qualification area.

This is undoubtedly a very bitter pill for ambitious BJ fans to accept.

When they played Henan in the last round, many fans at the home court had begun to raise their flags, welcoming Gao Han and Chinatown to take over the team. Presumably, the fans were completely disappointed with the existing management team and investors of the BJ team.

Since the acquisition was exposed by the media, Chinatown has begun to lose its low profile. Lin Guoping, who is fully responsible for the acquisition, has also been interviewed by the media many times, saying that Chinatown already has a complete set of mature plans that will be completed after the acquisition is completed. , officially announced, and also hopes that all BJ team fans can give confidence to the new management team.

"In the past few years, we have been engaged in youth training. This is our first time operating a Chinese Super League club. Our goal is to build China's first professional club with world standards, not just on the court, but also It will include all aspects of the club’s management mechanism and youth training.”

Regarding the Chinese Super League’s crazy spending to bring in foreign players, Lin Guoping said Chinatown would not follow suit.

"Our philosophy has always been to attach importance to youth training. We will introduce high-level foreign players, but we will never blindly burn money. I think the biggest player in the team will be our head coach. Everyone knows that, Louis van Gaal, he is definitely a top coach at the godfather level in European football, and we all firmly believe that he can bring about earth-shaking changes to the team."

It can be said that Lin Guoping's words seemed to bring a calm breeze in the Chinese Super League where there is an impetuous atmosphere everywhere. Not only did everyone look forward to how Chinatown will build the BJ team, but it also made countless fans look forward to it. BJ Team fans are full of expectations for the acquisition of Chinatown.

October 31, the second day of the Chinese Super League’s ceasefire.

Soon, authoritative party newspapers publicly reported that Chinatown, a powerful club from La Liga, planned to acquire the BJ team for 4 billion yuan.

This news immediately caused an uproar in the public opinion circle. This valuation was too high.

Soon, as the media dug deeper, more news was quickly unearthed.

It turns out that Chinatown completed the acquisition of the BJ team for RMB 3 billion, plus a RMB 1 billion for the jersey chest advertising sponsorship contract for the next five years, for a total price of RMB 4 billion.

In this way, the price is relatively more acceptable.

BJ Team officials also quickly released news, confirming the rumors from the outside world, saying that the completion of the acquisition is conducive to the development of BJ Team.

After Chinatown spent 4 billion to officially acquire the BJ team, the registered legal person of the BJ team soon became Lin Xia, and the team name was officially changed to BJ Chinatown. Lin Guoping became the club chairman. He once served as the vice chairman of Barcelona. Ferran Soriano serves as the general manager of the club, while Tessi Begiristain, who single-handedly led the Barcelona Dream Team 2 and Dream Team 3, serves as the technical director of the BJ Chinatown Team.

As for the position of the club’s head coach, Dutch coach Louis van Gaal will officially land in the Chinese Super League.

As the dust of the acquisition settled, BJ Chinatown also quickly announced a series of restructuring actions. Under the auspices of Lin Guoping, Soriano and Begiristain, the original employees and staff of the BJ team were selected. , either retained or dismissed, taking advantage of the end of the season to reorganize the power of the management.

Van Gaal also officially returned to BJ with his coaching team. Since Chinatown’s acquisition of the BJ team this time did not include the Xianghe base, starting from the new season, BJ Chinatown will officially enter the training base in the DX area.

The famous Dutch coach led the coaching staff to join the team early, with the purpose of adapting to the new venue as soon as possible and making appropriate changes to the training base. This is something that every head coach will do when they take office.

At the same time, another authoritative BJ local media broke the news that Chinatown successfully acquired the home stadium and surrounding land at a high price.

Club chairman Lin Guoping also solemnly introduced the team's new stadium plan at the first press conference in addition to introducing the new management team and coaching team to the national media and fans.

Since the BJ team's home stadium has a unique history, this time's renovation of Chinatown will continue to be handed over to the top domestic construction teams and the Swiss Herzog \u0026 de Meuron construction company will once again work together to jointly build the Chinatown. The Royal Stadium has received praise from all over the world. It not only maximizes the sense of history, but also creates a world-class professional football stadium. I believe it will be able to do the same this time.

Lin Guoping revealed that this time, not including land, the total investment will reach 5 billion yuan, and the stadium capacity will reach 70,000 people. Space for future expansion has also been reserved. At the same time, there will be a stadium in and around the stadium. Series of commercial packages.

However, this is only a preliminary plan. The specific situation will have to wait until the design team such as Herzog formulates a plan, and then it will be submitted for approval step by step. Only after the approval is passed, can demolition and construction be started. The whole process is quite complex. It hasn't been done so quickly in a long time.

BJ Chinatown's generosity has made the whole country see their courage, especially for Gao Han. Unlike those big consortiums, he has huge financial support behind him. Every penny of his money comes from his own pocket. This is It seems even more precious.

And just when everyone in the country was shocked by the courage of BJ Chinatown, news soon came from authoritative European media again.

A European giant is eyeing Brazilian international Augusto from BJ Chinatown during the winter break.

Although this Brazilian international performed averagely in the BJ team, he performed very well in the Brazilian national team. Not only in the Copa America in the summer, but also in the subsequent World Cup qualifiers, he also created opportunities one after another. He is the best player in the Brazilian national team. The main midfielder who does his job is recognized by everyone for his strength.

In the past two years, the Chinese Super League teams have gone to European football to spend money and grab people. Could it be said that now it is the turn of the European giants to come to the Chinese Super League to grab people?

Is BJ Chinatown really going to set such a precedent?

…………

…………

While everyone was still immersed in the shock of Chinatown's acquisition of the BJ team, the new national team quietly assembled in Kunming to prepare for the next fifth round match against Qatar.

This is also the only World Cup qualifying match in November.

But for Gao Han, more importantly, he can finally have two full weeks to prepare and train. This makes him happy more than anything else, because he has been running around non-stop since he took office. Dealing with one game after another, but there is no time to slow down and train the team properly.

Now, two weeks are enough for him to do a lot of things.

There are only 25 players in this training camp. Except for the four players from Chinatown and the five Zhang Yuning who plays for Ajax, who will return to the team on the 8th, the other 20 players all joined the team on time, and the previously seriously injured players Zeng Cheng still failed to make it in time for this game and was not selected for the training list.

After playing in Uzbekistan in early October, Zhang Yuning and other five overseas international players did not return to Xi'an with the team. Instead, they flew to Dubai that night and then transferred from Dubai to Amsterdam, missing a few hours in between.

In his first game back in the Eredivisie, the Chinese forward played the entire game but failed to score any points. However, in the Europa League three days later, he contributed an assist on the road to help Ajax score two away games. They drew with Celta Vigo in World War II, and scored another goal on the road at the weekend to help Ajax draw with Feyenoord one to one away from home.

Last weekend, he assisted a teammate to score another goal at home, beating Rotterdam Elite 1-0 at home, and scored a winning goal at home over the weekend to help Ajax defeat Celta Vigo 3-2. Then the La Liga opponents were eliminated by the total score.

Obviously, Zhang Yuning's performance in Ajax has improved greatly this time.

In addition to Zhang Yuning, the four players in Chinatown also performed well. Wang Lei and Zhao Jun frequently appeared on the first-team roster, either as a starter or as a substitute, and their performances were also remarkable.

Since the national team has more time for training this time, Gao Han specially adjusted the training items. Before each training session, he would arrange a brief tactical explanation and analyze some of the most basic tactical requirements based on past game videos. The subsequent training is also targeted.

Gao Han's intention is obvious. He hopes that everyone can understand his technical and tactical concepts and game requirements as soon as possible, and integrate them as soon as possible, especially the team's midfield and frontcourt offense.

In training, Gao Han also emphasizes position selection and movement in transition between offense and defense. Once he encounters something he is not satisfied with, he will immediately call a stop and point it out on the spot, combined with the video analysis given by Sergio Garcia. , so that everyone can understand as soon as possible what the problem is and how to correct it.

The two training sessions every day also include a short but very intense practical confrontation.

Gao Han's requirements are very simple. Every player must devote himself wholeheartedly and treat teammates of the other team as opponents in the game. This has made the international players suffer a lot, but it has also exposed many things. problems, the coaching staff headed by Gao Han is constantly trying to help the international football players solve these problems.

On the 8th, after Zhang Yuning and other overseas internationals returned to the team, Gao Han added more offensive routines, but they were all relatively basic and simple and easy for the players to master.

Don't underestimate these simple basic routines. In fact, in a game, if you can skillfully use these most basic things, you are often the most threatening and the most difficult for your opponent to guard against.

The two weeks of training camp flew by and the time soon came to mid-October.

Qatar, the bitter host of the top 40, finally arrived in Kunming, and the two teams finally met again.
