Midfielder Ruler

"That's right, he was the protagonist of the Boca Juniors trial incident that happened a month and a half ago, and now...he came to us to try his luck."

Although Diego Simeone's voice was not loud, John Benjamin next to him heard it very clearly, and replied out of politeness.

Diego Simeone nodded and continued to look back on the field.

But he didn't pay too much attention to Tang Zheng, because he came to the reserve training ground this time to prepare for next year's autumn league.

However, the game continued until the end of the first half of the match, and none of the players could satisfy Diego Simeone.

Just when Diego Simeone was about to move to the youth team training ground two hundred meters away, the goal appeared.

Focus back to half a minute ago.

The substitute held the ball, and after the football passed to the midfield, the player who took the ball glanced at the main team who was waiting solemnly, turned around and passed the ball back to the full back, and then the central defender.

At this time, the part-time referee coach looked down at his watch with the whistle in his mouth.

"There's no time!" Of course Tang Zheng knew what the referee's action meant, and he knew he couldn't sit still.

Who knows if the coach will give himself a chance in the second half after being invisible for almost the entire first half?

"Fight!"

Tang Zheng gritted his teeth and rushed towards the central defender who was holding the ball. The latter was quite surprised. The game was coming to an end, so he was still fighting like this?

But accidents were accidents, the defender's feet were not slow, he passed the ball back to the goalkeeper when he was still three meters away from Tang Zheng, and then continued to run back, gradually forming a straight line with the goalkeeper.

Under normal circumstances, the football is passed to the goalkeeper's feet, especially when the first half is approaching the end, even the trailing side will not be too active.

But Tang Zheng's performance was extremely positive, even if the football was passed to the goalkeeper, he was still in a state of acceleration.

In this case, a bigfoot clearance is undoubtedly handing over control of the ball.

The goalkeeper stepped on the football, and after a little hesitation, he chose to pass the ball to the central defender who had just passed the ball back.

Should this stop?

However the answer is no.

In the process of accelerating, Tang Zheng came to a sudden brake, turned around and rushed towards the central defender who was receiving the ball.

Before Tang Zheng was in position, the central defender passed the ball to his partner again.

So Tang Zheng had to stop abruptly and turn around again, rushing towards another central defender.

The result was the same as before, there were still two or three meters away from the football, and the opponent passed the ball to the goalkeeper...

Tang Zheng was not discouraged, and rushed towards the goalkeeper.

Back and forth with this.

Anyone with a little bit of knowledge knows that they are playing with Tang Zheng, and they don't know each other anyway.

But... Tang Zheng didn't care.

Ever been familiar with this scene?

Fabino Rodrigo frowned, as did Tang Tianhua and Chen Zhonghua.

Even Diego Simeone felt a sense of déjà vu, and his mind was brought back to that trial match at Boca Juniors.

Tang Zheng, who was isolated and helpless, was very stubborn. He knew that running non-stop would not bring good results, but he dedicated himself without hesitation.

Even Tang Zheng, who is quite physically fit, couldn't stand the sudden stops and acceleration several times in a row, but he knew he couldn't give up, so he gritted his teeth and performed another set of 'turning back and running'.

Perhaps it was Tang Zheng's active running that moved the teammates who ignored Tang Zheng in the first half. They stepped forward to support Tang Zheng when he was about to lack oxygen.

The football was passed to the goalkeeper's feet, and he didn't dare continue to play Tang Zheng with his teammates, because the angles of several passes were blocked by the opponent's players, so he could only choose to stop the ball forward, and then make a big clearance.

But what he didn't expect was that Tang Zheng who seemed to slow down suddenly accelerated again!

Tang Zheng, who was still five meters away just now, was only two meters away from him after he stopped the football.

too fast!

With their backs facing the goal, goalkeepers are generally afraid to step forward, and Tang Zheng is nearly 1.9 meters tall, so if he is not careful, he will cause an own goal assist.

In a panic, the goalkeeper can only pass the ball to the left back.

"do not!"

The left back just opened his mouth to signal the goalkeeper not to pass the ball to himself, and the football was passed.

The main right midfielder Piskulic of the reserve team accelerated suddenly when the goalkeeper passed the ball, as if he had made an appointment with the goalkeeper.

Suddenly, the entire back line of the substitute side was in chaos.

Tang Zheng, who was originally at the front of the penalty area, accelerated forward as if he had been injected with chicken blood. At the same time, he tried to widen the distance from the defenders to catch up with his teammates.

But then he only played the role of attracting defensive attention. Piskulic made an inverted triangle pass from the right side of the penalty area and assisted Domingo to score.

"pretty!"

This time, the teammates did not forget Tang Zheng, especially Domingo who scored the goal. He took the initiative to hug Tang Zheng and thank him for his frontcourt press.

※※※

Not long after the goal was scored, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

Poli took the initiative to walk towards Fabino Rodrigo and taunted him: "Is this the genius you were talking about?"

"Yes." What should come will finally come, Fabino Rodrigo nodded.

Polly smiled happily, and everything was under his plan.

At the same time, John Benjamin, head coach of the reserve team, came over and said to Fabiano Rodrygo: "Although the game is only half-time, I regret to tell you that Don failed our trial. Training."

To be honest, Tang Zheng didn't have any bright spots in the rest of the first half, except for Tang Zheng's mindless running before the end that indirectly helped his team score a goal, so John Benjamin was happy to sell his face to Polly.

"Hehe, let me just say... How is it so easy to find a genius?" Polly smiled even more intensely, and pointed at Tang Zheng: "This is Argentina, Chinese? Or go back to practice table tennis, Or diving is fine too, of course... if you want, boxing is more natural."

Fabino Rodrigo clenched his fists so hard that his nails were digging into his flesh.

Tang Zheng didn't know the grievances between Fabino Rodrigo and Polly, but he could understand the irony in Polly's words.

These days, Tang Zheng has seen what Fabino Rodrigo has done, and he can't let Fabino Rodrigo be wronged.

Say I can.

But my friend, no!

Tang Zheng rolled up his sleeves, ready to argue with Polly, who was in his early 17's.

"Yo? Is this going to be done?"

Polly looked at Tang Zheng who was about to make a move, and looked at Fabino Rodrigo with an even wider smile.

"John, let him try playing as a midfielder in the second half."

At this moment, Diego Simeone's voice came to everyone's ears.

Tang Zheng, Fabino Rodrigo, Polly and John Benjamin instinctively turned their heads to look.

Polly's smile froze and froze on that ugly face.

"what did he say?"

"what did he say?"

Tang Zheng and Fabino Rodrigo asked each other at the same time.

Half a second later, the two turned their heads tacitly and asked Diego Simeone who had spoken earlier: "What did you say just now?"

Diego Simeone smiled slightly, pointed at Tang Zheng and said, "A month and a half ago I was invited to watch Boca Juniors' trial match once a season. His performance left a deep impression on me. Today... I felt it again."

"As a person who has experienced it, I suggest you give up playing forward and try the position of lower midfielder. Perhaps, you will have different gains."

Nobody knows why Diego Simeone chose River Plate after leading La Plata to the 2007 Spring League title.

The reason is actually very simple, that is, Boca Juniors' style of handling things made Diego Simeone very dissatisfied, so even if a generous contract salary was in front of him, he chose River Plate, another Argentine giant with less good salary. team.

John Benjamin hadn't watched that trial match, so he didn't know Tang Zheng's highlights in that match, but he was very smart, and instead of continuing to cooperate with scout Polly, he said to Tang Zheng: "Tang, you go to the second half." The substitute kicks the midfielder."

Then, he added: "As for whether you can stay in the riverbed or not, it depends on your own final performance."

"Don is a genius, I firmly believe!"

Fabino Rodrigo turned his head and smiled at the ashen-faced Polly.

"Hmph." Polly shook his face, twisted his buttocks, and withdrew!

Because no matter whether Tang Zheng passed the trial training or not, Polly's face was already slapped...
