This mission came very timely. Xue Yang was already ready to give up the FA Cup.
Because he wants to focus all his energy on the Chinese League One, Xue Yang's biggest goal this season is to be promoted to the Premier League.
So he wanted to minimize the danger, so Xue Yang made this plan.
However, things are different now. For the sake of generous rewards, this risk can be taken. After all, Tianjin Wei now has an advantage in the standings.
What Xue Yang didn't expect was that this game would be broadcast live on the sports channel.
This still surprised Xue Yang. Although Tianjin Wei is good, it is still a Chinese League One team.
However, the match between Shandong Luneng and Tianjin Wei is still broadcast live, which indirectly proves that Tianjin Wei's strength has been recognized.
But then Tianjin Wei announced the roster, and there was not even a single foreign player in it.
In other words, Tianjin Wei plans to play the Football Association Cup with all Chinese teams, which in everyone's eyes means giving up the Football Association Cup.
This made the sports channel executives regret it. In their view, Tianjin Wei had no foreign aid, and it would be a one-sided game.
Then there is no need to live broadcast, but the FA Cup is getting closer and closer, and there is no time to modify it.
In addition to being broadcast live by sports channels, outside media are also curious about this game.
This Football Association Cup match actually increased Tianjin Wei's exposure.
This is definitely good news for Tianjin Wei. The biggest problem of Tianjin Wei at present is that there are few fans.
Tianjin TEDA cannot be shaken in Tianjin, and Tianjin Wei may have a period of embarrassment even if they reach the Chinese Super League.
With the increase in exposure, this embarrassing period will be shortened a lot.
The time has come to June 27 before we know it, and today we will challenge Shandong Luneng.
This time Xue Yang did not bring any foreign players. Fortunately, several young players were in good condition.
Among them, center back Wang Pan is in excellent condition, which reassures Xue Yang a lot.
Although Jiang Bin and Zheng Jinshan are not as good as Wang Pan, they are still in very good condition.
This is definitely good news for Xue Yang.
If the All-China Class wants to defeat Shandong Luneng, it is impossible without them.
As for Zhou Song, Yan Sha, Yuan Han, Dong Yourong and Zhuang Zhongtong, they are in average condition but can still play.
In fact, as the league passes the halfway point, the players are in good condition.
It's not like at the beginning of the season, when there were quite a few players in poor condition.
Soon Xue Yang determined today's starting lineup through the tactical panel:
Goalkeeper: 40 Zhuang Zhongtong (55).
Defenders: 27 Zhang Cheng (52), 37 Yan Sha (63), 24 Wang Pan (68), 2 Zhou Song (72).
Midfielder: 39 Yuan Han (63), 16 Wu Bo (58), 23 Dong Yourong (69).
Forwards: 19 Jiang Bin (74), 38 Zheng Jinshan (64), 18 Wu Lei (51).
Tianjin Wei's strength has indeed declined without foreign aid, but it's actually pretty good.
There is no problem competing in the Chinese League One, but the opponent is Shandong Luneng.
Such a configuration is quite different, and Xue Yang already knows Shandong Luneng's roster.
What worries Xue Yang is that there are three foreign players in Shandong Luneng's squad.
After all, Tianjin Wei is only a Chinese League One team, so Shandong Luneng is too cautious.
Among them, the foreign player who impressed Xue Yang the most was undoubtedly midfielder Antal.
As an Asian foreigner, Antal is deeply loved by Shandong Luneng fans.
In the last game of Antar in Xue Yang's previous life, Shandong Luneng fans shouted Antar's name throughout the game.
There was even applause every time he touched the ball. This former Bundesliga Cologne star is indeed very good.
The other two foreign players are forward Ortigosa and defensive midfielder Simao, both of whom are relatively average in strength.
Then in terms of local players, Shandong Luneng’s local players are really good.
Hao Junmin, who returned from studying abroad, and Wang Yongpo, who was ridiculed for taking photos of his big belly.
Winger Wu Xinghan is not the main force yet, and defender Zheng Zheng is also good.
These are all national-level players, and Tianjin Wei is really at a disadvantage.
However, Tianjin Wei does not have no chance. Jiang Bin is now a star with foreign aid level strength.
At present, Jiang Bin may be the strongest local player, but he is still young and not famous enough.
If only based on ability value theory, Jiang Bin's current net worth is only five to six million euros.
Considering his age and talent, his net worth may be higher.
It was getting closer and closer to the start of the game. As the head coach of Tianjin Wei, Xue Yang attended the pre-match press conference.
Tianjin Wei also benefited from Shandong Luneng, and there have never been so many reporters on site.
The first few questions were quite ordinary, and Xue Yang answered the reporters' questions calmly.
"I would like to ask coach Xue Yang, some people say that Tianjin Wei's current excellent results are entirely dependent on foreign aid Herrera. What do you think of this?" Suddenly a reporter asked.
This question was so sudden that Xue Yang was also stunned.
Indeed, some people now say so, Herrera's scoring efficiency is indeed very high.
Herrera has scored 15 goals so far, averaging a little more than one goal per game.
Such statistics are terrifying, and Herrera is firmly ranked first among the top scorers in the Chinese League One.
Under such circumstances, this view began to spread.
However, anyone who has watched the game knows that Herrera's high scoring efficiency is also due to his teammates' ability to feed the ball.
In fact, in terms of personal ability, Herrera is just average.
"Football is a collective project. Of course Herrera is an excellent player, but no matter how outstanding a person's performance is, he cannot do without the support of the team." Xue Yang thought for a while and replied.
Xue Yang thought his answer was okay, but later Herrera found out that Xue Yang's answer was not very happy.
Since coming to Tianjin Wei, Herrera has scored very efficiently.
In his mind, he is Tianjin Wei's thigh, and he is Tianjin Wei's privileged player.
Originally, Herrera planned to ask for a salary increase when Tianjin Wei was promoted to the Premier League.
But now it seems that when negotiating a contract, it is necessary to talk to the club about the status of the team.
Let everyone know his importance to Tianjin Wei.
The head coach of Shandong Luneng is Tenkat. In fact, he does not pay as much attention to Tianjin Wei as Xue Yang thought.
The reason why we brought a few foreign aids was just to be on the safe side.
Although there has been some news recently about Tianjin Wei's victory over the J-League team, in his opinion it was just a friendly match.
Tianjin Wei's strength is not that strong, and Tianjin Wei still plays in the All-China Class.
In addition, Tenkat knows that the head coach of Tianjin Wei is a young local coach.
Based on the above reasons, Tenkat is not that worried about Tianjin Wei.
