Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 22 Professional football, here I come

James Rodriguez, who was holding the ball, faced Sergi, who was defending, and cleverly passed the ball with his left foot to Bellotto, who retreated to respond. Sergi reflexively made a tackle. The ball missed the tackle and was instead run past him by James Rodriguez on the other side of his body.

If Bellotto passes the ball to James Rodriguez running out of space --

--Danger!

Realizing this, Igabe Fabiani stood up abruptly from his seat, and waved his arms vigorously to vent his dissatisfaction.

The team has achieved one win and two draws in the past three rounds, which has a lot to do with the combination of this pair of midfielders!

But dissatisfaction will not give the team an additional defensive bonus, so just do what you want.

really!

Bellotto, who received the pass, did not take advantage of the opportunity to hit the ball, but gave the ball to James Rodriguez, who was going forward.

After the pass, he continued to run forward, pulling the gap.

Matteo Musacchio can only step forward to actively block James Rodriguez when the two defensive midfielders are not present. After all, the head coach Igabi Fabiani said before the game James Rodriguez has a long shot from the front of the penalty area!

James Rodriguez did not give Matteo Musacchio a chance to step forward to block. He swung his left foot to deceive Matteo Musacchio, jumped up to block and then faked the pass. Pass the ball under the jumping Matteo Musacchio into the box.

"It's over."

Tang Zheng, who was sitting on the bench, closed his eyes subconsciously.

Bellotto's deep drive was very timely and faster, and he finished the shot before the other central defender Pezera.

Goalkeeper Leandro Zizisola even made a stretching save, but he was helpless by the angle and power of Bellotto's shot, so he could only declare that he was beyond his reach. The River Plate youth team at home conceded a goal first.

※※※

Blessings never come together, and misfortunes never come singly.

The River Plate youth team not only conceded a goal in less than 25 minutes of the first half, but Boratti, who was passed by James Rodriguez in the middle, fell to the ground and has not gotten up until now .

Immediately, the team doctor came to check.

After a brief diagnosis by the team doctor, Boratti strained his thigh muscle and could no longer persist in the game.

The head coach Igabi Fabianni, who received the feedback, glanced at the bench, his eyes wandering.

But the substitution was urgent. Assistant coach Christian Pizzi tried to recommend: "Igabi, how about... let Don play?"

Igabe Fabianni was a little hesitant. After all, Tang Zheng didn't have any game experience before, and he suddenly came off the bench in a game where the score was behind, and his position was still a very important defensive midfielder. Will it affect the team? normal operation?

He didn't communicate with Tang Zheng before the match. Will he be too nervous to deform his technical movements?

A little tangled.

"There is nothing to hesitate. You see... only Tang is suitable for the bench. He is fast, has a large defensive area, excellent physical fitness, and his ability is better than Boratti. The most important thing is that Tang also has a long pass, which can enrich The team's tactics." Christian Pizzi firmly believed in his own opinion: "You can't grow towering trees in a greenhouse, and only by letting him experience this kind of adversity will he grow rapidly!"

Igabe Fabiani thought for a while, and what Christian Pizzi said made sense to a certain extent, towering trees cannot be grown in the greenhouse, so he nodded.

Christian Pizzi immediately shouted at Tang Zheng who was sitting on the bench waiting to be called: "Tang!"

"Um?"

Tang Zheng immediately stood up from his seat, looking at the two coaches full of longing.

"-come over!"

Christian Pizzi waved Tang Zheng to come over, Tang Zheng didn't hesitate at all,

It's been a long time...

Igabi Fabiani looked up at Tang Zheng who was a head taller than him: "Boratti is injured, and now the team has one less player, you should pay attention after you play, move your body first, don't get hurt again, you know ?”

Tang Zheng nodded vigorously, feeling warm in his heart.

"Remember when the teams were grouped against me and I assigned you a mission?"

"Remember, sir."

"Okay, let's do that!" Igabe Fabianni pushed Tang Zheng's back vigorously, pushing him to the side of the fourth official, and then said: "If you have a chance, you can participate in the attack!"

Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Tang Zheng, wearing the No. 4 jersey, stood next to the fourth official, showing his face, and then ran directly onto the field.

"Professional football, here I come!"

The moment he stepped into the green field, Tang Zheng patted his chest to cheer himself up.

※※※

Fans standing outside the hanging net watching the game noticed the new Tang Zheng. Those die-hard River Plate fans knew Tang Zheng's origin, but those fans who only watched the youth team game once in a while didn't, so there was a lot of discussion.

"Who is this tall man?"

"Yellow skin? Oriental?"

"So tall, Center?"

The same was true for the reporters who came to the competition venue, they were a little unfamiliar with Tang Zheng who was on the field.

The youth team is no different than the adult team, the reporters usually only care about those young players who have a high appearance rate and outstanding performance, so Tang Zheng, who didn't have a second of playing time in the first three rounds, is not in their focus at all.

So when Tang Zheng changed into the field, they seemed a little caught off guard.

Tang Zheng did not go to the frontcourt, but jogged to the backcourt, high-fived Serge, and conveyed the latest instructions from the head coach: "The coach said you cooperate with my defense, if there is a chance to attack, make up for my defense as in training. Location."

Serge gave an 'OK' gesture directly.

The Banfield youth team players were all looking at Tang Zheng, including the off-court coaches. In their information, there was only Tang Zheng's simple height, weight and position, and the others... were unknown.

"Attention, he is very strong!"

At the same time, James Rodriguez took the initiative to explain to the team's midfielder teammates.

"Oriental? Just a big man." His teammates disagreed.

If you just look at the appearance, Tang Zheng is indeed not the kind of player whose strength can be seen at a glance, so James Rodriguez smiled wryly: "You will know when the time comes."

Immediately, James Rodriguez explained to the two full-backs and Bellotto respectively: "When attacking, try to avoid their number four."

The two full-backs and Bellotto both looked puzzled, but thinking of James Rodriguez's usual steady performance, he nodded and said that he would pay attention. Satisfied to leave.

But what James Rodriguez didn't expect was that his teammates would openly repair the plank road and cover Chen Cang secretly. The fast right midfielder Andres Garcia saw Tang Zheng coming to help defend when he was attacking, and selectively forgot himself Advice, continue to accelerate the breakthrough.

As a result, Tang Zheng saw his center of gravity change instantly when he was throwing the ball. He kicked hard with the toe of his left foot, put his long right foot forward, and pressed down at the same time. In order to avoid injury, Andres Garcia chose to jump. After getting up, Tang Zheng left the football at his feet.

James Rodriguez shook his head and smiled wryly, but he did not slow down and rushed towards Tang Zheng.

However, Tang Zheng's next linking movement was faster. He stood up and swung his right foot to make a long pass. James Rodriguez subconsciously stretched his left leg to intercept it. As a result, Tang Zheng made a fake move and lowered his right foot. Pull the ball back, then flick to the right, completely shaking James Rodriguez.

Then, according to the impression of the striker's running position in training, he directly kicked a long pass.
