Chapter 172 The New Season Begins

With Xiao Zhan's "fu Zhu", the farce of the Red Star Club's reserve team fight finally came to an end.

As for the outcome of the two, no one cares.Because the curtain of the new season is about to rise, everyone's eyes are refocused on the ever-changing green field.

In early March, the four Chinese teams participating in the Asian League made their debut in the intercontinental arena.The unbeaten record in the first round has injected more expectations into the domestic arena in the new season.

According to the schedule formulated by the Football Association, in the first round of the secondary league, Huaxia Red Star will sit at home against the veteran team Shenzhen Zhulonghua.As the first teams to play, the two teams undertake the important task of opening the new season's secondary league.

For this reason, Huaxia Group made the best preparations. First, it abandoned the old urban complex stadium and transferred its home field to the Hanping City Olympic Sports Center, a newly built comprehensive stadium.

Then spare no effort to apply to the Football Association for the opening ceremony, and in order to hold the opening ceremony, Huaxia Group carefully decorated the entire Olympic Sports Center.Through visual changes, the turf and the stadium form a fluttering red and yellow flag, giving people the illusion of being in a dream.

How could there be fewer stars on the sidelines?After the Huaxia Group finished decorating the stadium, they also invited many big-name stars to stand on the stage.What half of the country, popular spicy chicken, popular female role, in short, whoever is popular will be invited.This opening ceremony is not to say that it is the most exciting in the past, but it is the most expensive.So much so that the national media commented on this matter, and of course it was not a compliment.Today when "frugality" is at the fore, holding such a luxurious opening ceremony is really a "crime against the wind"!
Not only that, in order to cooperate with the change of home court, Huaxia Red Star also played a slogan, which is called: new season, new home court, new expectations.Hang in the most conspicuous place of the court.

The new home stadium has a new look, but the geographical location far away from the urban area brings inconvenience to the Red Star fans watching the game.

In order to attract more fans to enter the stadium, Huaxia Red Star has taken great pains. In addition to free tickets, fans present will also be given a commemorative T-shirt.For some fans with inconvenient transportation, Huaxia Red Star will also provide car pick-up and drop-off services, which can be said to be the ultimate.

The unremitting efforts of Huaxia Red Star finally achieved results.Less than an hour before the game, nearly [-] spectators flooded into the Olympic Sports Center.

Although the Olympic Sports Center, which can accommodate [-] spectators, is a bit empty, it is already a huge improvement compared to last season's attendance rate of only a thousand people.It's just that I don't know if these people are rushing for the ball or for stars.

From another perspective, it also reflects the ambition of Huaxia Group.It is not an easy task to fill the Olympic Sports Center with 6 people.The overlord of Chinese football, the three-time AFC champion Hang Seng, only uses the Galaxy Stadium which can accommodate [-] spectators at home.

China Red Star's move is not to mention surpassing Hang Seng in performance, at least the number of fans must be on par with Hang Seng.And the first step to catch up with Hang Seng is to win the Shen Zhu Long Hua team.

The opponent facing Huaxia Red Star is not simple, on the contrary, it is very difficult.

Shenzhu Longhua, one of the oldest teams in Chinese football.It won the championship in the first year of the top league restructuring, and it is also the only team that has been undefeated in foreign wars so far, and has won numerous reputations.

But there is destiny in the rise and fall, and the reincarnation of heaven.Since being relegated to the secondary league ten years ago, Shenzhu Longhua has never been able to clean up the old situation, and it is precisely because of this that Shenzhu Longhua's unbeaten record in foreign games can be maintained embarrassingly.

After ten years of hard work, Shenzhu Longhua not only failed to return to the top league, on the contrary, in the swamp of the secondary league, Shenzhu Longhua got deeper and deeper, and completely lost the overlord posture in the AFC Champions League.It didn't change until last season. The government's support allowed Shenzhu Longhua to return to the ranks of strong teams. Last season, they missed the top league by only one point.

In the new season, Shenzhu Longhua has made a comeback, and in the winter window, they have successively entered the core of the Kyoto Huaan organization. Former international footballer Xu Liang, the top league bronze boots Chuntai Thigh Moreid, the top league Sanya Wang Susun active national player Sun Ke, J League Tosu Shayan Korean aid Zheng Yuhuan Waiting for many powerful players.

The introduction of these strong players cost Shenzhu Longhua over [-] million yuan.Overwhelming the new local tycoon Huo Cunduomu, the old wealthy Huaxia Red Star, became the largest investor in the winter window.Therefore, the outside world also regards Shenzhu Longhua as the number one favorite.

Compared with Shenzhu Longhua's quality loss, although China Red Star has acquired more than ten players in one go in the winter window, there are many people, but the quality makes Jordenescu unsatisfactory.Except for the three foreign aids introduced, who can be used to make gestures, the others are embarrassed.

Don't look at the fact that foreign aid is now in charge, the strength of the team ultimately depends on the level of domestic players.Just like the barrel theory, foreign aid determines the upper limit of a team, which is the long plank of the bucket.Domestic players determine the lower limit of the team, which is a short plank.And the team's performance, that is, how much water the barrel can hold, is precisely determined by the domestic players with short wooden boards.

Therefore, a week before going out for training, Iordenescu recalled Xu Zangyi, who was "serving a sentence" at U18.

During the out training period, Red Star played a total of six warm-up matches with three wins and three losses.At first glance, the grades are passable, but in fact they are not.

The warm-up opponents that had been negotiated at the beginning broke their appointments one after another, and they were forced to do nothing. Huang Diyuan contacted several Japanese and Korean semi-amateur teams to practice, but the result was shocking, losing three games in a row!

When the news spread back to China, it caused a sensation. A Chinese professional team could not beat Japanese and Korean amateur players!All of a sudden, they lamented, is the distance between China, Japan and South Korea so great?
Just when the Red Star was questioned, Iordenescu corrected it in time, and Xu Zangyi was sent in the fourth game.In the end, Xu Zangyi's appearance helped Red Star stop the decline, and a wave of three consecutive victories saved Red Star some face.

Although the training is more embarrassing, Iordenescu is not without gains.

It is precisely because of the huge gap in these six games that Iordenescu's determination to use Xu Zangyi has been strengthened.In Jordenescu's tactics, a dual-core system with Xu Zangyi and foreign aid Jack has been formed.

Dual-core is more powerful than single-core, and there is no embarrassing situation where the dual Germans are incompatible in England.

Going back to before the match, although Red Star won three consecutive victories in the last three warm-up matches, it still does not let the outside world be optimistic about winning the opening match.The general opinion of the outside world is that Shenzhu Longhua can at least get one point.The implication is that it is very good for Red Star to tie.

Huaxia Red Star is playing against Shenzhu Longhua. Both teams have the willingness to reach the top and have huge investments.This fight is of great significance, and the winner will undoubtedly take a solid step on the way to the summit.

……

"Let us welcome the two teams to the stage with warm applause!"

After a song and dance performance, the live DJ drove the atmosphere through the microphone, and the first game of the new season started.
