This is just a champion, but this champion bid farewell to an era; This is just a champion, but this champion remembers such a group of people.
For Shandong fans, this may not be a heavy gift, but in the bubble era, Luneng finally won the championship and experienced too many difficulties.
Although he officially took charge of Luneng in the 20 17 season, Sun Hua kept in touch with Luneng Club earlier. In addition to being directly in charge of the group's leaders, Sun Hua may be the middle and senior leader of Shandong Electric Power, the State Grid, who is most familiar with Luneng. Finally, I started to take charge of Luneng Club on 20 17, and I am very familiar with Luneng.
From 20 17 to 2020, Luneng in these four years may be the most stable period in Luneng's history (except Luneng dynasty): Luneng has been ranked in the top five in the past four years, and in the 20 18 season, Beijing Guoan was squeezed out to get the third place in the league; In the 20 19 season, Luneng became the only Chinese Super League team that first appeared in the AFC Champions Group. There was a crazy decisive battle with Evergrande in the knockout stage, but unfortunately it was eliminated by penalty kick. In the 2020 season, Luneng won the FA Cup after winning the runner-up twice in a row.
In fact, careful fans can clearly feel the change of Sun Hua's figure: he is thinner than when he just took over Luneng, and this champion is undoubtedly the best comfort when he is about to bid farewell to Luneng Club.
In 2020, Luneng has two coaches: Li and Hao Wei. After the first stage of the 2020 Super League, he chose to leave the post of head coach Li. At that time, his physical condition was quite bad. In fact, he has been in poor health since playing football, so he recuperates every year.
Perhaps, fans have distrust of local coaches in their bones. Although Li became the deputy general manager, in the 20 16 season, he achieved the breakthrough that Luneng AFC Champions League failed to qualify for many years and advanced to the quarter-finals. Although he led the team to the league and AFC Champions League in 20 18 and 20 19 seasons, he missed the FA Cup twice, which made him "give up all his previous efforts".
In fact, this fate continued on Hao Wei. The 3-0 lead was reversed by 4-3, and the 2-0 lead was tied by R&F in stoppage time. Hao Wei was under so much pressure in both games that many voices began to attack Hao Wei in the first half of the FA Cup final.
In fact, the factor of distrust is by no means caused by one or two games. At the beginning of Li and Hao Wei's tenure, there were already many voices of distrust among fans.
But fate is really a wonderful thing. Li has always performed well in the league and has a strong performance in the AFC Champions League. However, in the 20 18 and 20 19 seasons, he missed the FA Cup twice in a row, and Hao Wei won the FA Cup 75 days after taking office. What will happen in the future? At present, there is a certain probability that Li will leave Luneng Club after the end of this season. At present, it has been invited by some clubs.
As for Hao Wei, he is more likely to stay in 2020 because of the FA Cup champion, but I'm afraid no one can say for sure about Luneng's trend next year.
Objectively speaking, Luneng is currently in a period of change, and the change of Luneng's management is expected to be completed in the shortest time. However, after the equity change and management change, Luneng has actually entered an unstable period: what is the investment after the equity change? Can the new club management adapt to the team as soon as possible? In addition, the psychological changes of players, the preparation for the new season, especially the success of key signings, may have an impact on the record of the new season. For young Hao Wei, all this is not easy, not to mention Luneng has to face the AFC Champions League.
Unexpectedly, in the final, Wang Tong really became the person who decided the game.
In the first half of this game, Suning played too well and Luneng was a little nervous. At the end of the first half, Pellet also unfortunately missed an excellent opportunity to enter the second half with a score of 0-0, which has already put tremendous pressure on Luneng soldiers. It was then that Wang Tong scored the decisive goal only four minutes into the second half.
According to Wang Tong's usual style, he may choose to cross, so that he can immediately retreat to form a defensive protection. But at that moment, Wang Tong chose to go it alone. He faked two defenders in Suning twice in a row, then shot with his left foot and scored to break the deadlock.
Song Long, who joined Luneng in 20 16 season, has been a substitute player of the team. In the 20 16 and 20 17 seasons, he only played nine games. In the 20 18 and 20 19 seasons, he only played seven games in six games. You know, they are all 30 rounds of leagues.
Everyone likes core players and excellent young players. Although they can't play often, they can train hard and keep in shape at all times. Substituting or rotating players is the team's most valuable asset. Such players may not be so conspicuous, but they are always ready and have no regrets. They are the most stable cornerstone of the team.
It's not easy to walk all the way, but the anxious expression on Song Long's face was even more difficult at the moment when VAR intervened. This is Luneng's third consecutive FA Cup decisive battle, and he didn't get it twice before. In addition, many mistakes and omissions encountered this season, "psychological shadow area" can be imagined.
In the five seasons since joining Luneng, Song Long has not scored in the league. This winning goal is the best reward for his five-year persistence.
This trophy is too hard for many people to write.
Hao Junmin, the last one to walk on the podium, has been plagued by injuries all this year, even in the FA Cup final, he was injured again. Wang, who used to be Luneng's main goalkeeper, had to bear a heavier burden because of repeated injuries. The one who really became Cai's main force this season entered Luneng's first team as early as 20 12, but he didn't make his debut until 20 16, and only after 8 years did more people know himself this season. ...
Maybe in a year or two, some faces of this team will leave, but this trophy is a testimony that they overcame many difficulties and persisted to the end.
More difficult may be foreign aid.
After the first stage of the league, the team had a week off, and the local players finally met their families, cooked together, ate together and went shopping together. Ordinary life is more precious at that moment. But foreign aid, they are waiting for the start of the second stage alone. Then, race, race. Suning's foreign aid went home, Zall's foreign aid went home, and finally even TEDA's foreign aid went home. Only Luneng's five foreign AIDS persisted.
Fellaini came back early enough to return to China in March, but he had to be hospitalized because he was infected with COVID-19 virus. In Jinan Infectious Disease Hospital, he looks at the big trees in the hospital yard and the cars coming and going on 10 every day at the window.
In the days of "confinement", the Belgians did not complain at all, actively cooperated, were discharged from the hospital, were isolated, and needed a person to train when they arrived at the club. A photo of him running alone on the plastic track of the club makes people feel sad. At the moment of winning the championship, Fellaini was in no hurry to celebrate, and he was still playing the semi-finals with Xing Wu Han. He is so absorbed that he can't ask for more.
In fact, on the night of 65438+February 19, more spotlight was cast on Pellet. In the 2020 season, his state declined to the naked eye. On the one hand, the growth of age is inevitable, on the other hand, he is about to bid farewell to the team, so he needs to be more cautious about his final career.
However, in the FA Cup final on 19, Pellet had no reservations. Near the end of the first half, he tore Suning's defense line in the criss-crossing "leg net" of defenders, creating the closest opportunity to break the door in the first half. Although the second goal was actually scored by Song Long, many people remembered him as an Italian after the game, and it is very likely to leave the last goal of Luneng's career in the farewell war, which is enough to make many people cry.
Gerades didn't score any goals, but he was the top scorer in the 2020 FA Cup, where he also scored his first hat trick. He also collected the game balls for that game. Of course, the most famous player is moises. Luneng's midfielder was congratulated by Brazil's top player Neymar, who also collected football in the FA Cup finals. In contrast, Cadal may be a little lonely, but at the moment of celebrating the glory of the champion, he should also be a member of the big family with laughter.
As short as 5 months, as long as 9 months, Luneng's foreign aid workers can finally accept this season's trip to China and return home to reunite with their loved ones. More of them will continue to set foot on the journey of the Super League next season, and some will end their love affair with Luneng, but the pace of the Taishan team will not stop.
Maybe 202 1 opens the calendar, Luneng's name will no longer appear, but after 23 years of persistence and dedication, we just want to say: Shandong Football is fortunate to have you; Shandong Football will always remember you.
