I Just Can Score

Zhen Shaolong went to the club in his cool sports car, and even asked the security guard to register his "beloved sports car" at the door, so that he could enter and exit without saying hello.

Then enter the training state normally.

In the first round away game against Bolton, the atmosphere in the Newcastle United team was very relaxed, but the atmosphere of competition among players was still very tense, especially in the forward position. Zhen Shaolong scored four goals in one game. The striker is sad.

Whether it is luck or strength, scoring four goals is very remarkable.

Martins, Viduka, and Irving all felt that as long as Zhen Shaolong integrated into the team normally, he would definitely be able to secure a main position.

Then there is only one remaining position.

Viduka didn't care.

Even without Zhen Shaolong, he couldn't compete with Owen and Martins, and he would definitely be a substitute for the striker. Since they are already substitutes, it seems that it is no big deal for one more competitor to lock in the main position.

Another position on the front line seems to be the competition between Irving and Martins.

Both Irving and Martins are technical forwards. Martins' advantage lies in his strong body and strong impact, while Owen's advantage lies in his excellent skills at his feet, and he has been more efficient in past competitions.

Owen also has the advantage of fame and influence.

If Owen and Martins have the same performance, don't think that they have "equal" opportunities.

That is impossible.

Everyone in the team knows very well that under similar performances, Owen will definitely be the absolute main force, and Martins can only be reduced to a substitute. The seemingly unequal treatment is also a matter of course. Owen is an English player. Very influential.

Martins is just a foreign player.

English clubs will definitely take care of England's stars, and Irving's commercial influence is much greater than that of Martins. From which point of view, neither of them is qualified to 'equal competition'.

This seems like a sad reality.

Of course.

Many teammates are still optimistic about Martins. The main reason is that Irving has been injured for a long time. No one knows whether he will be injured in the next game?

Martins has a little confidence in the competition with Irving, but he also has his own judgment. He believes that the biggest competitor is not Irving, but Viduka. The reason is simple: Viduka is a high center forward.

Irving is 173cm tall and Martins is 170cm tall. They are not the kind of players with aerial advantage, and Zhen Shaolong's height is less than 180cm, and he will definitely be counted in the "technical" range.

Technical players must find a high center forward to cooperate with.

If it were Martins himself, he also thought it would be better to cooperate with Viduka, because Viduka is at the front and can attract enough defensive attention.

The reality of this kind of intra-team competition also allows Martins and Irving to train very capablely, hoping to get more opportunities to play through serious performance.

When the competitors are all working hard, Zhen Shaolong seems to be the one who is 'least serious', and his training performance is definitely not good.

For example, resume training to maintain a mid-range level for a long time.

For example, the tactical formation training is a bit behind, and the performance is like a rookie who has been promoted from the youth team.

This is Zhen Shaolong's flaw.

Newcastle United's coaching staff attaches great importance to Zhen Shaolong's integration into the team. Carver continues to be Zhen Shaolong's "exclusive guidance" and the club's only physical coach. state.

Zhen Shaolong felt a little awkward. In the St. Pauli team, he was recognized as the leading shooter, and the players who affected St. Pauli's performance had never received such treatment.

It is somewhat acceptable for a dedicated physical coach to pay attention. The opponent is not targeting him as a player. Owen, Smith, Taylor and others are also among the ranks of attention.

Cavero's long-term personal guidance is different.

Carverro was the 'No. 1 assistant coach', Allardyce's first assistant,

Specially to guide his training, it is really...

"Why is this guy nagging?"

Yes.

Zhen Shaolong didn't feel good. He didn't resist the tactical training, but he resisted Cafro's guidance. The other party seemed to be instructing newcomers, "forced" and said, "It's wrong to run this way!"

"Should run over there!"

"We also need to have an area in the frontcourt. Your position is on the right side. If you run to the left side, you may crowd the position of your teammates and make it easier for the opponent to defend..."

Zhen Shaolong's head grew dizzy.

Cavero's statement is correct for general forwards. Everyone will be divided into roughly running areas. Two forwards will naturally be divided into left and right, but this is only a general situation. It is different for top forwards.

Zhen Shaolong's experience is that standing in a fixed area and running, it is easy to be restricted by the opponent's defender, and it is difficult to receive a pass from his teammates.

Two ways -

One is that the team's skills are good enough, and only by using dazzling coordination can they be able to achieve good results in fixed areas.

The other is simple, rough play.

For example, a high center forward stands in the penalty area, and his teammates throw the ball over, and he can find opportunities with a good position.

Zhen Shaolong doesn't fit the two criteria. He will be strictly restricted by the opponent on the field of competition, and he doesn't have superb technical ability.

So what Carver said can only be theoretical, and it has no meaning for real games.

The essential……

Cavero said it in a precise manner, as if according to what he said, he could find opportunities in succession and score goals in succession.

"This guy is an academic!"

"No wonder...you can only be an assistant coach..."

Of course.

Cavero's guidance still has a little effect. For example, Zhen Shaolong has a certain understanding of the team's style, style of play, and rhythm control. Some routines in the midfield and frontcourt are also introduced in detail .

The help is still there.

After free time, Zhen Shaolong felt a little more comfortable, and then encountered a headache.

"I'm training with Zhen's partner!" Smith spoke first.

"I come!"

Joey Button stepped on the football, glared at Smith and said, "I have decided, from today on, Zhen Shaolong will be my boss, and I will train with him!"

"Boss? Haha, are you getting silly, Zhen Shaolong is your boss? Haha..."

Joey Barton continued to stare at Smith, "I'm going to train with Zhen anyway!"

"..."

Zhen Shaolong never imagined that finding a partner for passing training would also cause conflicts and conflicts. He could only wave his hands at the two of them, and then kicked the ball to Milner, "Let's practice passing together!"

Milner passively accepted.

In the following training, Milner was glared at by two pairs of eyes, neither of which he could afford to offend, and trembling made continuous mistakes.

Zhen Shaolong felt a little sympathetic to Milner, and began to educate him during the process, "You have to be strong. You are two years older than me, right? Why are you so afraid of Alan?"

"I can see it."

"Maybe you should do something to increase your courage... For example, you go beat that guy up?"

"You are strong, he is not necessarily an opponent!"

"What's my idea?"

Milner seemed to think about it carefully, then shook his head, "I never fight."

Zhen Shaolong was a little helpless.

a week later.

The second round of the Premier League begins with Newcastle United at home against Aston Villa.

The final score was 3-2.

Newcastle United won the game, but the process was quite difficult. Aston Villa performed very well and scored two goals in the first half. Newcastle United came from behind. At the last minute, they relied on Owen's goal to complete A lore to defeat the opponent.

Zhen Shaolong scored a goal, and his performance can only be described as steady.

After the game, in the media’s coverage of the game, there was some controversy over Zhen Shaolong’s performance. Some media analysts believed that Zhen Shaolong’s performance was not bad. He successfully attracted the attention of the defense and liberated Owen’s position. Only then did Owen Can score.

Zhen Shaolong also scored a goal, and his ability to seize opportunities is quite good.

Quite a number of media believe that Zhen Shaolong has not integrated into the team, lacks a tacit understanding with his teammates during the game, and does not retreat many times. In addition, he hardly participates in defense, and is useless at other times. 'Glass Man', Newcastle United seem to be missing one player.

etc.

Putting all these together, Zhen Shaolong scoring a goal seems to be nothing.

In the camp that is not optimistic about Zhen Shaolong, it is worth mentioning that after some analysis of Zhen Shaolong's performance and the role of the entire team, he made a "prophetic" judgment, "He is late Unable to integrate into the team, has no effect in the game for a long time, and may perform worse and worse in the future..."

"The competition in the Premier League is very fierce. A player can't even adapt to the team, so he can't adapt to the game. Maybe his goal is just because the opponent doesn't understand..."

The general meaning is that Zhen Shaolong can score goals because the opponent doesn't understand.

As long as other Premier League teams know how to defend him, his shortcomings of not adapting to the team and the Premier League style will be exposed to the greatest extent, and his performance will become very poor at that time.

If you just read the reports, Zhen Shaolong seemed to be facing a "scoring drought" in front of him, and even said that he might immediately become a "dispensable" player, and he would not be able to play a few games in the future.

But in fact, no one in the Newcastle United team thinks that Zhen Shaolong's performance is poor.

Owen felt it directly.

When partnering with Martins, the opponent's defender gave priority to defending him; when partnering with Zhen Shaolong, the opponent's defender gave priority to defending Zhen Shaolong.

So his game felt very easy, and he also took the opportunity to score the lore goal.

Owen also thanked Zhen Shaolong for this, "You have attracted enough defenses, thank you, that goal is due to you."

This is active release friendly.

Zhen Shaolong nodded and smiled, "Actually, I don't want to be defended... I really hope they all defend you."

"Ha ha……"

The two made a small joke, and then chatted about life easily. Owen talked about investing in a racecourse, and would invite him to the racecourse together if he had time.

"I already have a few good horses that run very fast. I am practicing horse riding and plan to participate in the marathon in the future. Maybe you can try it too."

"horse riding?"

"Yes, that's good leisure."

I don't know why, Zhen Shaolong suddenly thought of Claudio, when she was lying on her stomach at night, there was indeed a kind of riding...

cough cough.

"Okay, thank you, I am also very interested in horseback riding." Zhen Shaolong agreed sincerely.

The day before the next round of competition, Zhen Shaolong received an invitation.

Not Owen.

But from Flora.

Zhen Shaolong knew her name and knew that he was Ashley's daughter. Flora invited him to visit University College London after the next round of competition.

"Is this a date?"

Zhen Shaolong felt weird, and immediately planned to refuse. He was not in the mood to date a little girl, even if the girl had met once, had good senses, and had a rich father named Flora.

He immediately found a reason for his refusal, "Sorry, players are not allowed to leave the team without permission after the game. I'm going back to Newcastle that night..." Fu Pin Chinese
