Midfielder Ruler

Jorge Gortillo, who was sitting on the coach's bench, turned his head and said: "Don is working hard, but he always feels that his body is still very stiff."

"Well, it's a bit." Diego Simeone nodded in agreement, and then changed his voice: "But this is also normal. It's the first time I entered the first team, and I don't know enough about his opponent."

"Huh?" Jorge Gortillo didn't understand.

Diego Simeone looked at Tang Zheng who was walking back to his position: "If it was me who was defending Ariel just now, I would have leaned up as soon as he got the ball, instead of waiting for him to get the ball to meet him, and secondly... …It’s just that Don doesn’t understand Ortega’s technical characteristics, and after he fully understands it, there will definitely be a big change.”

Just like the trial match that Diego Simeone saw at the Boca Youth training base, Tang Zheng, who switched from a striker to a midfielder for the first time, did very well and changed very quickly, because... he His reading competition ability and adaptability are very strong.

The substitute who concedes a goal first has the kick-off advantage. According to the usual practice, the football is quickly passed to Tang Zheng's feet.

Because this is a training match within the team, the intensity is not great, and the main forward Falcao did not rush to Tang Zheng who was holding the ball like in the game, so Tang Zheng had enough time to adjust the football at his feet and observe his teammates after he got the ball. running position.

After the restart of the intra-team match, Diego Bonanault ran along the left side as Tang Zheng said, as fast as he could.

Paolo Ferrari was attracted by Diego Bonanault's running position and moved a little closer to the side, but when he saw that Tang Zheng was holding the ball, he felt slightly neglected.

In his heart, he didn't think that a new youth team player would have the courage to attack with a long pass.

However, what he didn't expect was that Tang Zheng did the opposite, doing what he knew he couldn't do!

Just when Diego Bonanault was two meters away from Paulo Ferrari, Tang Zheng didn't make any adjustments at the top of the center circle, and directly kicked a long pass.

At this time, Falcao was late, and it was too late to block the ball, and the football flew past his ears with the sound of howling wind.

Instinctively, Falcao turned his head and followed the football to the backcourt.

According to the practice of kick-offs in the past, the defenders are usually slightly delayed by the central defenders, and the full-backs are pulled away. The main team of River Plate's first team is no exception this time.

Tang Zheng's long pass was very stealthy, the football flew into the vacuum between central defender Gustavo Cabral and right defender Paulo Ferrari.

The ball started to fall, and centre-backs Cabral and Ferrari predicted where it would land as they retreated.

At this moment, Diego Bonnanott accelerated from the front of Ferrari and inserted into the defensive right rib, which is the defensive gap between Ferrari and Cabral.

"Oops!"

Both Ferrari and Cabral felt a shock at the same time.

Because they are facing the ball, it can be judged that the correct landing point of the football is behind them, which means they need to turn around.

But compared to Diego Bonanotte, who has already fully brought up the speed, the time it takes for them to turn around is fatal.

So Ferrari saw the opportunity and wanted to grab Diego Bonannot's jersey at the moment of turning around, but Diego Bonannot's speed was fully up, and he only caught a ball of air. .

Diego Bonanault, who was running, looked back at the football in mid-air, and praised Tang Zheng's long pass from the bottom of his heart.

When he ran to the right corner of the penalty area, the football just arrived. What he had to do was very simple, take the ball to the inside, and then make a slight adjustment.

Goalkeeper Mario Vega was hesitant and didn't attack, and now Diego Bonanotte took the ball into the penalty area, and as a goalkeeper, he can no longer stay in front of the goal.

After making some adjustments, Diego Bonanault swung his left foot about fifteen meters from the goal.

It's a head-to-head match between goalkeeper and finisher,

Diego Bonanault played a ground ball very smartly. Mario Vega subconsciously threw his body horizontally and pressed down with one palm, but compared with the forward acceleration of the football, his body's pressing speed was obviously faster. Slow down half a beat.

The football rolled into the near corner of the goal from under the armpit of Mario Vega's left hand.

Diego Simeone stood on the coach's bench with a very wide field of vision. When he saw Tang Zheng kicking a long pass without anyone interfering, he began to look forward to it.

During the Christmas period, I taught him personally for more than a week, and after four months of training in the youth team, he should be able to reach the level, right?

Sure enough, Tang Zheng's long pass ability did not disappoint Diego Simeone, and the football very accurately found Diego Bonanault who went straight into the rib space from the wing...

The striker Falcao looked in surprise at Diego Bonanault who single-handedly entered the penalty area with the ball. He was no longer interested in the next result. He turned his head and looked at Tang Zheng who had just sent a precise long pass.

Tang Zheng's expression was joyful, seeing the football rolling into the goal from the goalkeeper's armpit, he clenched his fists excitedly and waved it.

It seems... This is not Tang Zheng's unintentional long pass, but a deliberate one!

Although Diego Simeone was very satisfied with Tang Zheng's long pass, he was quite dissatisfied with his attention to the back line. Just now, if Ferrari could pull back in time to defend Diego Bonannot , then this goal does not appear.

So Ferrari became the scapegoat for the entire back line, and was scolded bloody by Diego Simeone.

At the same time, Diego Bonanault, who scored the goal, did not forget about Tang Zheng. He immediately ran back to the half court, and then jumped on Tang Zheng's body to celebrate the goal together.

After the team lost the ball, he originally believed in Tang Zheng with the attitude of giving it a try, and ran forward after the re-kick-off, but what he didn't expect was that the trust returned was a long pass with the accuracy of a cruise missile...

The intra-team rivalry resumed, and more and more first-team players began to look at Tang Zheng with new admiration, especially the captain Ortega.

This Chinese young man promoted from the youth team has two brushes!

※※※

Ortega found that with the deepening of the match, Tang Zheng became more and more difficult to deal with. Compared with the ease at the beginning of the match, now he has to remind him to participate in the attack.

Tang Zheng began to reflect on how to limit captain Ortega's performance after the first conceded goal appeared on his side.

As the game progressed, he noticed that Ortega's running range was limited, and then thought of Ortega's 35-year-old age, physical fitness must be a big problem, so he started to defend Ortega when he was without the ball .

After Ortega tried to get the ball, he broke through Tang Zheng immediately, but Tang Zheng had the experience of failing to defend in the past, so he did not choose to go forward to defend blindly, but opened a certain safe distance to allow himself enough time to defend React action.

In this regard, Ortega seemed very helpless. He is 35 years old this year, and his physical fitness is an insurmountable gap.

But in order to organize the offense with the ball, he had to increase his running range to make the request.

This was in Tang Zheng's favor. Tang Zheng's physical flexibility might not be as good as Ortega's, but he had a strong defensive ability, covered a wide area, and had excellent physical fitness.

Ortega had to pass the ball to organize the offense, but continuous running and passing the ball consumes a lot of energy, and this is not his characteristic, so he became very uncomfortable.

If the offensive organizer does not play well, the team's overall offense will naturally be disturbed.

Falcao, who is on the front line, can only rely on two wings to feed the ball to find opportunities, but the substitute central defender is very familiar with Falcao's characteristics, and Falcao's height is a problem. The two are over 1.85 meters It is difficult for him to grab a spot as a central defender.

For a while, the main team and the substitute team were inseparable.

This result was never expected by Diego Simeone, so he turned his head and said to his assistant Jorge Gortillo: "I really didn't expect Tang to grow so fast. I was surprised by the speed."

Jorge Gortillo looked at Tang Zheng on the court. At this time, he was open to ask for the ball, and at the same time, he turned his head left and right, paying attention to the movement of the opponent's player. With a natural expression, he nodded in agreement: "The progress is indeed very good. Fast, and very smart."

Suddenly, Diego Simeone became interested when he thought about the upcoming devil's schedule: "Jorge, you said... can Don be placed on the bench for the next devil's schedule?"

Jorge Gortillo thought for a while and came to a conclusion: "I think it's better to be on the safe side. There are still a few days left in the next round of the league, and then look at his training status. If possible, he can be placed in the The bench, maybe it will play a surprise role at that time."

Diego Simeone nodded, agreeing more with his assistant Jorge Gortillo, and then continued to look back on the field.

Ortega's running range became larger and larger, and his physical energy was also consumed faster and faster. In less than 20 minutes, his physical energy had problems.

Diego Simeone realized that Ortega was no longer able to focus on the offense, so he blew the whistle for the end of the first training session. After all, the purpose of training is to cooperate.

There is a problem with the physical fitness of the offensive core, and there is no need to continue.
