Midfielder Ruler

Before the start of the trial match, Ricardo Gonzalez glanced at all the young players present, especially those young players with arrogant expressions, and he deliberately said: "A football game is a team game. Sports, I allow you to have a strong desire for personal performance, but I don't want to see you frequently show off your excellent foot skills, causing delays in fighter planes... Your opponent is the great Boca Juniors U18 main force, and several players even Having first-team experience…”

Ricardo Gonzalez said a lot, Tang Zheng felt helpless like some trial players who didn't understand Spanish, but in order to show enough respect, he could only pretend to be absorbed in listening, And nod again and again.

Chen Zhonghua, who was waiting at the side, saw Tang Zheng with a serious face, turned his head and joked to his old comrade Tang Tianhua, "Zhengzi is just like you, he can pretend."

"..."

There are not a few parents like Tang Tianhua and Chen Zhonghua standing on the sidelines waiting for their children to become a success, hoping that their children will be picked up by the Boca Juniors Club, and then start their careers and reach the pinnacle of life...

There is no rule without rules. The rules of this trial training game are the same as those of regular games. They are all officially started with referees.

"Active running, decisive shooting, average breakthrough ability, but temper...a bit big."

Five minutes into the game, Hugo Torcari wrote in his notebook based on Tang Zheng's performance.

Then he sighed again: "It's a pity that he and his teammates don't seem to be in the same rhythm. Although he has a height advantage, his physical confrontation ability is a bit weak, but... he does a good job of protecting the ball and knows how to use his body reasonably. .”

But if Tang Zheng didn't perform impressively in the next match, he might face elimination.

You know, professional football does not support mediocrity.

Similarly, Tang Zheng also knew that his performance during the beginning of the game was not satisfactory, because he could feel that he was tired and aggrieved from playing.

Three attempts to break through, one success.

A shot attempt misses the basket.

The only consolation is that when the football reaches his feet, he will basically not lose the ball.

The players who come to Boca Juniors for trial training all want to show themselves, so the first choice after getting the ball is often not to look up. It is very difficult for Tang Zheng, who is on the forward line, to get the ball, unless the player who is holding the ball is trapped. It's not until the double-team can't break through that I remember that there is a striker in front of me.

However, Tang Zheng was still satisfied during the trial training match. When the team was transitioning from defense to offense, sometimes a teammate wearing the No. 10 blue vest would pass the ball to him.

It seems that Ricardo Gonzalez, who arranges tactics, will make him the core of the midfield, and there is a certain reason.

But I have to say that the personal abilities of these trial players from all over the world are really great, but they can't compare with those Boca Juniors U18 main players who have played together all the year round.

So after the Boca Juniors U18 youth team adapted to the rhythm of the game, they played two consecutive high-quality offenses.

Less than fifteen minutes into the game, the trial team fell behind Boca Juniors U18 youth team 0:2.

※※※

"Aww!"

The die-hard Boca Juniors fans standing outside the barbed wire fence broke out in huge cheers, these are the future of Boca!

Boca Juniors U18 youth team under the continuous high cheers,

As if adding extra attributes, he played harder.

Suddenly, there was a lot of noise in front of the trial training party.

Because the trial training team conceded two goals in a row, their confidence was frustrated, and they played negatively. For a while, the football could not even cross the center line.

Tang Zheng seemed isolated and helpless in the frontcourt, completely unable to show his own characteristics.

In the past few minutes, if the 17-year-old substitute goalkeeper from the Boca Juniors U18 youth team did not perform bravely to keep the goal, it is estimated that the score would be even bigger.

Tang Zheng stood in front of him very depressed.

Without football at your feet, how can you perform?

Watching the football kicking back and forth in his own half, Tang Zheng hesitated whether to return to the backcourt to help defend.

Maybe the coach likes forwards who run aggressively?

Thinking of this, Tang Zheng took advantage of a dead ball and jogged in front of teammate No. 11.

Due to the language barrier, he made an internationally accepted gesture of changing positions, which the other party understood instantly.

In fact, No. 11 had long wanted to play the forward position. After understanding Tang Zheng's meaning, he nodded repeatedly and called Tang Zheng a good man, but unfortunately Tang Zheng didn't understand.

Although Tang Zheng has always played as a striker, and played his best position as a striker, has he never eaten pork or seen a pig run?

Besides... China is a big dye tank, Tang Zheng has played in almost every position.

However, when he first started assisting defense, it really affected the normal defense of his teammates.

"Hey, will your TN's be able to assist in defense? You won't get out!"

"Fuck! Why did you come up to my place?"

"It's fine if you stand on your ribs, unless I go up and grab it! OK?"

...

After being ruthlessly roared and disgusted by his teammates, Tang Zheng slowly adjusted his standing and running positions during the exercise.

With the increase of running-in time, Tang Zheng actively ran in the middle and backcourt of the trial team, and the quality of the overall defense has improved significantly.

"Scheduling! Scheduling, don't show off your skills!" The offense weakened. Hugo Torcari was keenly aware of why the team's offense was blocked. He was very surprised, so he ran to the sideline and shouted at the players on the field.

After the adjustment, he did not return to the coach's bench, but turned around and walked towards the command area of ​​the trial team. He asked Ricardo Gonzalez: "Did you adjust the tactics?"

Ricardo Gonzalez turned his attention back from the court, and shook his head while looking at Tang Zheng: "Ah? No, it seems that this kid took the initiative to switch positions with No. 11."

Hugo Torcari nodded, then looked at Tang Zheng who was constantly running around on the field, then lowered his head and took a signature pen to write on Tang Zheng's page: strong reading ability.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Zheng made an accurate prediction in a defensive replacement. Almost at the moment when Chavez, the core player of the U18 youth team, went straight to find the striker, his body reflexively made a shoveling action that fell to the ground. The long legs just blocked Chavez's passing route.

"pretty!!"

Although Tang Zheng's position was not the familiar forward position, Tang Tianhua saw his son's performance on the defensive end so well, as a father, he was very excited.

At the same time, a middle-aged man standing outside the barbed wire fence frowned slightly.

This is not scientific!

He took a video collection from the South American Scouting Alliance website and he watched it no less than a hundred times, and the feedback he got was not like this. Tang Zheng's talent was completely reflected in the offense!

Although it is not comparable to young talents such as Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, it is at least comparable to Aguero who led the Argentine National Youth Team to win the World Youth Championship, right?

How could Tang Zheng's offensive performance be mediocre after nearly 20 minutes of the game, but his defensive performance was impressive?

This is not what he wants to see!

The value of offensive/defensive players at the same level is sky high and bottom!

Just when Fibino Rodrigo looked helpless, Tang Zheng, whose performance was getting better and better, miraculously broke off the ball in a one-two defense, forming a counterattack.

Seeing this, Fabino Rodrigo's Ah Q spirit was manifested, and he comforted himself: "It's better than returning disappointed."

With Tang Zheng's performance on the defensive end getting better and better, the confidence of the players on the trial team has obviously recovered.

"He has the qualities of a leader." Hugo Torcari seemed to see another Gago.

There is no problem with the defense. With the cooperation of his teammates, Tang Zheng occasionally has time to step in and participate in the offense.

Judging from the offensive and defensive battle just now, he seems to have become a central midfielder who can advance, attack, retreat and defend. If it weren't for the delay of his teammates' hesitation in dribbling the ball, this wave of offense would have a chance to form a shot.

Tang Zheng can perform so well as a trial player, how can the U18 main force, who is the key training target of Boca Juniors, watch outsiders show off their power on their field?

Coupled with Hugo Torcari's proper command and dispatch on the sidelines, the advantages in tactics and strength allow U18 to regain the initiative.

Tang Zheng's defensive pressure then became more and more intense, and because of this, he completely became a brainless defensive player, who no longer had time to take care of offense.

Finally, before the end of the first half, the offense of the U18 youth team consciously bypassed Tang Zheng's defensive coverage. With the assistance of Benardevez, Chavez used a cross from the side to assist forward Mondani Head the ball into the goal.

At the end of halftime, the Boca Juniors U18 youth team led the trial team 3:0.
