After successfully defeating Wuhan Zall, Tianjin Wei will face the biggest test of the season.
Tianjin Wei is about to challenge the Chinese Super League team Shandong Luneng in an away game. If it had been before, no one would have thought that Tianjin Wei was capable of fighting.
But things are different now. Tianjin Wei successfully defeated Niigata Swans before, which surprised many people.
The evaluation of Tianjin Wei is also different. Tianjin Wei cannot be regarded as just a Chinese League One team.
Moreover, Tianjin Wei performed very well this season and ranked first in the standings.
It is now recognized as a favorite for promotion to the Super League, something no one thought of at the beginning of the season.
On the other hand, Shandong Luneng won the Chinese Super League championship two seasons ago.
However, after two seasons, Shandong Luneng's performance was really not very good.
The Chinese Super League is now in its 14th round, and Shandong Luneng is only ranked 13th.
Such results also surprised many people. Logically speaking, Shandong Luneng's strength is not such.
However, even so, Xue Yang did not attach much importance to this game.
Playing against a strong team like Shandong Luneng is a good opportunity, but Xue Yang has no intention of playing in the FA Cup.
In Xue Yang's mind, the FA Cup is not important, and there is no need to put too much emphasis on the FA Cup.
At present, Tianjin Wei's biggest task is to win the championship and advance to the Premier League, so fighting on two fronts is somewhat unsafe.
However, a reminder suddenly sounded in Xue Yang's mind:
"Trigger mission: Lead Tianjin Wei to defeat Shandong Luneng
Reward: Junior Special Scout × 1,50 points.
(Tip: If you complete the mission as an all-China class, the reward will be increased, Intermediate Special Scout × 1,80 points)"
After seeing this reward, Xue Yang couldn't help but hesitate.
Since triggering the mission was different, he didn't expect that the FA Cup would actually trigger the mission.
Moreover, the reward was so generous that Xue Yang, who had originally decided to give up the FA Cup, changed his mind at this moment.
Then Xue Yang noticed the prompt, and the rewards for the All-China class were actually increased.
This made Xue Yang even more excited, because the reward included an intermediate special scout.
Intermediate special scout means talents with potential above 80 points, and currently Tianjin Wei only has two such players.
But this difficulty is too great, even if Tianjin Wei’s local players are very strong.
But the opponent is Shandong Luneng after all, even though Shandong Luneng's performance this season is average.
There was not much hope of defeating Shandong Luneng in the All-China Class. However, Xue Yang thought about it and realized that the risk was worth taking.
If you complete it, you will earn blood, if you fail, you will lose a junior special scout.
A few days later, Tianjin Wei announced the roster, and soon everyone discovered that there was no foreign player in the roster.
In other words, Tianjin Wei will challenge Shandong Luneng with an all-China class, and such a move also makes the outside world generally believe that Tianjin Wei has given up on the Football Association Cup.
This was also done intentionally by Xue Yang, wanting to make Shandong Luneng relax its vigilance.
After all, Tianjin Wei is also a Chinese League One team, and there are no foreign players on the roster.
Faced with such an opponent, Shandong Luneng will inevitably relax its vigilance.
Moreover, as a second-year player in the Chinese League One, none of Tianjin Wei's local players are well-known.
Some of the most famous players are still young players.
For example, winger Jiang Bin is definitely the most famous local player in Tianjin Wei.
He was praised by sports channels before, but now he is not only known by the Chinese League One, but also by the Chinese Super League.
Previously, some Chinese Super League teams wanted to introduce Jiang Bin, although Xue Yang bluntly stated in an interview that he would not sell Jiang Bin.
But Tianjin TEDA still did not give up, they hoped to persuade Jiang Bin.
In addition to Jiang Bin, there are Lu Lewen and Wang Pan. Although Wang Pan is not as talented as the two of them, he is really stable on the defensive end.
Now many people are also praising Wang Pan, which makes Wang Pan very proud.
This once made Xue Yang a little worried. He was worried that Wang Pan would become arrogant because of this.
Although Wang Pan's current ability is indeed good, his potential is really average.
If Wang Pan's mentality really starts to expand, it will definitely not be a good thing for his future.
As for Lu Levin, who has gone to the J-League, Niigata Swans has already registered Lu Levin.
If other Chinese players come to Niigata Swans, they may be isolated by their teammates.
However, Lu Lewen is different. He has played in warm-up matches for Tianjin Wei and Niigata Swans before.
So teammates all know that this young Chinese midfielder is very good.
They didn't isolate Lu Lewen too much, but they still couldn't understand the language after all.
Lu Lewen had no way to communicate with his teammates and could only communicate through a translator.
Lu Lewen has only played in the J-League for half a season, and there is a high probability that he will not continue to stay in the J-League.
So there is really no need for him to learn the language, so it is difficult for him to become friendly with his teammates.
On June 23, Lu Lewen made his J-League debut.
The opponent is not very strong, this team is Vissel Kobe.
It is the Vissel Kobe that Iniesta will join in the future, but the current Vissel Kobe is not strong.
Currently, they are not even as good as Niigata Swans in the standings, 1 point lower than Niigata Swans.
Now in the relegation zone, this is a good opportunity to score points.
Lu Lewen, as the new aid of Niigata Swans, although he entered the squad for this game, he ended up sitting on the bench.
Currently, Vissel Kobe also has a star player. Old fans may have heard of this name. He is Yoshito Okubo.
Yoshito Okubo once played for Mallorca in La Liga, and his three goals at the last minute of the season ensured the team's success in relegation.
That year, Yoshito Okubo achieved the highest achievement among Asian players in La Liga. Later, Yoshito Okubo joined the powerful Bundesliga team Wolfsburg.
Of course, he was not Wolfsburg's main player, but he also won the Bundesliga championship that year with the team.
Unfortunately, he failed to establish himself in the end and later returned to Vissel Kobe.
The biggest problem for Vissel Kobe at present may be the foreign players. Their current two foreign players are both Koreans and they are both substitute players.
On the other hand, Niigata Swans still have several Brazilian players, so Lu Levin thought they could win today.
However, the result surprised him very much. Niigata Swan was completely suppressed.
Then in the 58th minute, Vissel Kobe winger Keijiro Ogawa scored a goal.
In the 76th minute, Lu Lewen finally came on as a substitute.
Maybe it’s because I’ve just arrived in a new environment, and the pace of the J-League is indeed much faster than that of the Chinese League One.
So Lu Lewen didn't adapt too well, but fortunately he didn't play badly either.
It can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, but even this makes the head coach very satisfied.
Because basically all their players didn't play well today, which also gave him a headache.
Lu Lewen made his J-League debut, but unfortunately his Niigata Swans still lost.
