Jorge Gortillo, who was sitting in the dugout, turned his head and said: "Don is working hard, but he always feels that his body is still very stiff. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Well, a little, indeed. Diego Simeone nodded in agreement, then said: "But it's also normal, it's the first time in the first team and I don't know enough about his opponents. ”

"Huh?" said Jorge Gortillo, not understanding.

Diego Simeone looked at Tang Zheng, who walked back into position: "If it was me who was defending Ariel just now, I would have leaned on him as soon as he got the ball, instead of waiting for him to catch up after he got the ball, and secondly...... It's just that Don doesn't understand the technical characteristics of Ortega, and when he fully understands it, it will definitely change a lot. ”

Just like the trial match that Diego Simeone saw at the Boca Juniors training base, Tang Zheng, who switched from striker to midfielder for the first time, did a good job and changed quickly, because ...... He is very good at reading competitions and adaptability.

The substitute who conceded a goal first had the advantage of kicking off, and as is customary, the football quickly passed to Tang Zheng's feet.

Because this is an intra-team training match, the intensity is not great, and the main striker Falcao did not pounce on Tang Zheng who took the ball like in the game, so Tang Zheng had enough time to adjust the football under his feet and observe the running position of his teammates after taking the ball.

Diego Bonanotte ran along the left flank as Tang Zheng did when the team competition resumed, as fast as he could.

Paulo Ferrari was attracted by Diego Bonanotte's movement and moved slightly closer to the wing, but he was a little sluggish when he saw that it was Tang Zheng who had the ball.

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

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

Just when Diego Bonanotte was still two meters away from Paolo Ferrari, Tang Zheng did not make any adjustments at the top of the arc of the center circle of his side, and directly made a long pass.

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

Instinctively, Falcao turned his head to look at the backfield with the football.

According to the usual practice of kick-offs, the defenders generally have the central defenders slightly behind and the full-backs pull away, and the main team of River Plate's first team is no exception this time.

Tang Zheng's long ball was a thief, and the ball flew into the vacuum between centre-back Gustavo Cabral and right-back Paulo Ferrari.

The ball began to fall, with centre-backs Cabral and Ferrari anticipating the ball's landing as they retreated.

At that moment, Diego Bonanotte sprinted in front of Ferrari and into the right flank of the defence, which was the gap between Ferrari and Cabrral.

"Oops!"

Ferrari and Cabral felt a wave of panic at the same time.

Because they are facing the incoming ball, they can tell that the correct place for the ball is behind them, which means they need to turn around.

But compared to Diego Bonanotte, who had already picked up the speed completely, the time it took for them to turn around was fatal.

So Ferrari saw the opportunity and wanted to grab Diego Bonanotte's shirt at the moment of turning, but Diego Bonanott's speed was already fully up, and he only dragged a cloud of air.

Diego Bonanot, who was running, glanced back at the football in mid-air, and praised Tang Zheng's long pass in his heart.

When he ran to the right corner of the penalty area, the ball arrived and what he had to do was very simple, go inside and adjust it a little.

Goalkeeper Mario Vega hesitated and didn't attack, but now Diego Bonanotte got the ball into the penalty area, and as a goalkeeper, he could no longer stay in front of goal.

After a slight adjustment, Diego Bonanotte picked up his left foot about 15 metres from goal.

It was a head-to-head duel between the goalkeeper and the finisher, with Diego Bonanotte playing a boccia ball very smartly, Mario Vega subconsciously swooping down and pressing down with one palm, but his body pressing down was significantly slower than the acceleration of the ball moving forward.

The ball rolls from Mario Vega's left armpit into the near corner of the goal.

Diego Simeone stood in the dugout with a very wide field of vision, and when he saw Tang Zheng making a long pass without interference, he began to look forward to it.

During Christmas, I taught him hand-in-hand for more than a week, and after four months of training by the youth team, it should always be at the level, right?

Sure enough, Tang Zheng's long passing ability did not disappoint Diego Simeone, and the football was very accurate to find Diego Bonanotte who went straight to the ribs from the wing......

Striker Falcao looked at Diego Bonanotte who entered the penalty area with the ball with a surprised expression, he was no longer interested in the next result, he turned his head to look at Tang Zheng, who had just sent a precise long pass.

Tang Zheng's expression was delighted, and when he saw the football rolling from the goalkeeper's armpit into the goal, he clenched his fists excitedly and waved.

Seemingly...... This is not Tang Zheng's unintentional long pass, but deliberate!

Although Diego Simeone was very happy with Tang Zheng's long pass, he was quite unhappy with the attention of the backline, and if Ferrari had been able to pull out in time to withdraw and defend Diego Bonanotte, there would have been no goal.

So Ferrari became the scapegoat for the entire backline, and was scolded by Diego Simeone for being a bloody dog.

At the same time, Diego Bonanotte, who scored the goal, did not forget Tang Zheng, he ran back to the half court as soon as possible, and then jumped on Tang Zheng's body to celebrate the goal together.

After the team lost the goal, he originally believed in Tang Zheng with the attitude of giving it a try, and ran forward after the restart, but what he didn't expect was that the trust was exchanged for a long pass with the accuracy of a cruise missile......

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

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

※※※

Ortega found that as the confrontation deepened, Tang Zheng became more and more difficult, compared to the ease of the initial stage of the match, and now he had to remind the twelve points to participate in the attack.

Tang Zheng began to reflect on how to limit the play of captain Ortega after the first goal was conceded by his side.

As the game progressed, he noticed that Ortega's range of movement was limited, and then thought that Ortega's 35-year-old age must be a big problem with fitness, so he began to defend outside the Ortega off-ball stage.

Ortega tried to get the ball and broke through Tang Zheng as soon as possible, but Tang Zheng had the experience of defensive failures in the past, and did not choose to blindly step forward to defend, but opened a certain safe distance to give himself enough time to make defensive reaction actions.

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

But in order to get the ball and organize the attack, he had to increase the range of running to demand.

This can be in Tang Zheng's arms, Tang Zheng's physical flexibility may not be as good as Ortega, but he has strong defensive ability, and covers a wide area, and has excellent physical fitness.

Ortega had to play with passes, but the continuous running passes were physically draining and not a characteristic of him, so he didn't play well.

If the playmaker doesn't play well, the team's overall attack will naturally be disrupted.

Falcao, who is on the front line, can only rely on two wings to feed the ball and look for opportunities, but the substitute central defender knows Falcao's characteristics very well, and Falcao's height is a problem, two central defenders of more than 1.85 meters, he is difficult to grab the landing point.

All of a sudden, the main team and the substitute side played inseparably.

This result was something that Diego Simone never expected, so he turned to his assistant Jorge Gortilo and said: "I can't imagine that Don has grown so fast, and I am amazed at how fast he is." ”

Jorge Gortillo's eyes looked at Tang Zheng on the field, at this time he asked for the ball in an empty position, and at the same time his head twisted from side to side, paying attention to the running position of the opposing player, with a natural face, nodding in agreement: "The progress is indeed very fast, and it is very smart." ”

Suddenly, Diego Simeone thought of the next devil's schedule and became interested: "Jorge, you say ...... In the next devil's schedule, can Don be put on the bench?"

Jorge Gortier thought for a moment and concluded: "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 you can, you can put him on the bench, maybe it will play a surprise role at that time." ”

Diego Simeone nodded, agreeing with his assistant Jorge Gortillo, before continuing to look back on the field.

Ortega's range of movement became larger and larger, and his physical energy was depleted faster and faster, and within twenty minutes, his physical strength was in question.

Diego Simeone realised that Ortega could no longer focus on attacking, and blew the final whistle for the first training session, after all, training was all about cooperation.

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