Tianjin Wei finally won and eliminated Shanghai SIPG 3-1.
When the referee blew the whistle for the full game, the fans cheered happily.
You must know that Tianjin Wei is an all-China class this season, and it is already quite difficult to take care of both the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League.
However, Tianjin Wei actually wants to compete for the FA Cup. I believe no one would have thought of it at the beginning of the season.
I think back to the beginning of the season, when Tianjin Wei sold foreign players and rented their main players. No one was optimistic about Tianjin Wei.
Even the foreign media are like this. They all think that Tianjin Wei is in trouble this season.
There are also people who criticize Tianjin Wei, accusing Tianjin Wei of losing those few championships.
They even dream of playing in the Chinese Super League and even the AFC Champions League, but so far Tianjin Wei has performed exceptionally well.
Not only is it temporarily ranked first in the Chinese Super League, but it has also advanced to the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League, and now it has even reached the semi-finals of the Football Association Cup.
Logically speaking, it has been very successful, but Xue Yang, the person involved, knows that this is not the case.
The current situation of the team is not as good as outsiders think.
The AFC Champions League and the Football Association Cup are both okay, but the Chinese Super League is not so optimistic.
Although Tianjin Wei is currently ranked first, being able to get the first place is because of the support of its peers.
Guangzhou Evergrande, which was the most competitive in the first half of the season, performed mediocrely. Although they didn't lose many games, they tied several games.
This allowed Tianjin Wei to take advantage of the opportunity and successfully reach the first place.
However, with the coaching change at Guangzhou Evergrande, their performance has become much more stable.
Xue Yang knew that Guangzhou Evergrande's Scolari had some problems, such as not liking to use young players.
And his tactics are also a bit conservative, which is why Guangzhou Evergrande won the championship in the future and did not choose to renew his contract with Scolari.
But his ability is still excellent. Xue Yang knows that in the next games, Guangzhou Evergrande will be less and less likely to make mistakes.
Therefore, if Tianjin Wei wants to retain the championship, it must be very energetic.
He must not make any more mistakes, which also made Xue Yang feel the pressure.
Although Xue Yang was mentally prepared when he made up his mind last year.
But I didn’t expect that even the Tianjin Wei and All-China classes would be so difficult.
Of course, not only Xue Yang, but also Xia Zhong, who is the boss of Tianjin Weiming, is also uneasy.
He is different from Xue Yang. Xue Yang pays more attention to Tianjin Weihe football.
Xia Zhong is more concerned about fame and profit, which is why he tried so hard to persuade Xue Yang when a group wanted to name Tianjin Wei.
In his mind, the name of the team is not as important as profit.
Completely different from Xue Yang, after all, their positions are different.
However, Xia Zhong has not felt at ease recently. Since Tianjin Wei Quanhua Class, the external evaluation has plummeted.
It was completely beyond Xia Zhong's expectations. Fortunately, his grades improved a lot as his grades stabilized.
Especially after the All-China Class reached the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League, Tianjin Wei gained more fans.
However, Tianjin Wei's performance has not been very good recently, while Guangzhou Evergrande is becoming more and more stable.
Although Xia Zhong does not know football as well as Xue Yang, he is the boss of Tianjin Weiming after all.
He deeply understands the importance of results to Tianjin Wei. If this continues, Tianjin Wei may really lose the title.
Under such circumstances, Xia Zhong thought about it and decided to discuss it with Xue Yang.
Xue Yang came to Xia Zhong's office, and Xue Yang was also curious about why Xia Zhong suddenly found him.
"Why are you looking for me suddenly?" Xue Yang asked curiously.
Xue Yang has been quite busy recently, with the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League quarter-finals about to begin.
It was a busy time now, and Xia Zhong suddenly found Xue Yang.
"Our team's state has not been very good recently. This season is Tianjin Wei's worst season since they were promoted to the Premier League." Xia Zhong hesitated and said.
Xia Zhong was not wrong. In the season when Tianjin Wei was promoted to the Chinese Super League, Tianjin Wei had 25 wins, 4 losses and 1 draw.
And now Tianjin Wei has lost 4 and drawn 2, which means that even if they win all the next games, they will not be as good as Tianjin Wei two years ago.
This is also one of the reasons why Xia Zhong is worried. One of the reasons why this is happening is because he sells foreign aid and rents out his main players.
Now Xia Zhong has regretted why he sold the players in the first place.
Although the transfer fee was gained, if the performance was the price, it would be a real loss.
"I know what you mean, you are worried about Tianjin Wei's performance." Xue Yang quickly understood what Xia Zhong meant.
"I didn't say anything when you wanted to create an all-China class, but now the team's decline is obvious." Xia Zhong didn't stop.
"Although Tianjin Wei still ranks first in the standings, it is very unsafe. Even now, many people outside are more optimistic about Guangzhou Evergrande winning the championship."
"I understand! But the all-China class has always been the career I want to pursue." Xue Yang helplessly persuaded Xia Zhong.
"And now the team is flourishing in many areas, with good results in the Chinese Super League, AFC Champions League and FA Cup."
"You don't want to stay in the All-China class in the future, right? This season, Guangzhou Evergrande has changed coaches one after another, causing their state to be unstable." Xia Zhong suddenly had a guess.
Xue Yang did not expect Xia Zhong to be so resistant to the All-Chinese Class, but he thought about it again and found that it was indeed unstable to have an All-Chinese Class in the Chinese Super League.
In recent years, the Chinese Super League has become more and more dependent on foreign aid, and with the high investment of major teams, the quality of foreign aid has become higher and higher.
This has also led to the fact that victory now basically relies on foreign aid. By bringing in a few outstanding foreign players, you can achieve good results.
"Of course I won't always be in the All-China class. I plan to recover next season." Xue Yang thought for a while and replied.
"I will give you a list at that time and just bring in a few foreign players."
Xue Yang said lightly, which made Xia Zhong breathe a sigh of relief.
He was really worried that Xue Yang would always be in the All-China class, so he was relieved when he heard that Xue Yang agreed to sign him up.
And he believed in Xue Yang's vision very much. Since the acquisition of Tianjin Wei, all the signings were made by Xue Yang.
All players introduced are basically economical and affordable.
Each one is very easy to use and has become an important member of Tianjin Guard.
However, this time Xia Zhong didn't know that Xue Yang might place more emphasis on fame if he signs players in the future.
Then this kind of player will definitely be more expensive, and Tianjin Wei may not need to pick it up in the future.
As for giving up the all-Chinese class, it was actually in Xue Yang's plan, and there was no permanent all-Chinese class in his plan.
Because he has other plans next, Tianjin Wei will indeed need foreign aid by then.
Otherwise, we may really lose our competitiveness. Xue Yang has already thought about this.
The conversation went very smoothly this time, which at least made Xia Zhong feel at ease.
He was no longer as worried as before. He was really worried about Xue Yang insisting on joining the all-China class.
