In the two days leading up to Christmas Eve, Tang Zheng was accompanied by Matteo Mousacchio in training with the ball, in the words of youth coach Igabi Fabiani: "Your personal fundamentals are too poor, you have to practice hard." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

So in the past two days, Mateo Musacchio accompanied Tang Zheng for boring basic training.

For example: passing and receiving the ball, quick one-kick express delivery, close interference ball protection, and taking the ball.

Of course, Tang Zheng was an excellent striker in the past, and he did not fall behind in shooting training.

A defensive midfielder may be the best position for you, but who says the midfielders can't finish shots?

In terms of shooting training, Tang Zheng and Matteo Musacchio were more engaged in long-range shots after physical confrontation.

However, Matteo Musacchio, who is 1.8 meters tall and weighs 75 kilograms, is obviously stronger than Tang Zheng's physical confrontation ability, so the quality of his long-range shots is very poor.

The two-day basic training time passed quickly, and Tang Zheng ushered in his first Christmas Eve in Argentina, but as a Chinese, even if he lived in the international metropolis of Shanghai, he did not like this holiday.

Christmas Eve is approaching, and it also marks the beginning of a half-month holiday for all echelons of River Plate Club.

The dormitory area, which was still lively before, suddenly became extremely cold, and Tang Zheng didn't want to disturb Chen Zhonghua, so he refused the invitation of his elders on the grounds of training.

The reason is because Chen Jia is now struggling for his career in the United States, and no one plays with him.

Fibino Rodrigo also invited Tang Zheng to spend Christmas with him, but Tang Zheng also refused.

As for the reason, he changed one, plus practice!

Fortunately, the club's training base has not been suspended, and the stadium and dormitory can still be used, otherwise Tang Zheng would be homeless.

On Christmas Eve, Tang Zheng was destined to spend it alone.

But how do you spend the long night?

Complaining to his parents is obviously not Tang Zheng's style, besides...... The jet lag cannot be ignored.

It is 5 p.m. local time in Argentina and 4 a.m. Beijing time.

Thereupon...... He opened his notebook, logged in to Tencent QQ, and saw if there were any friends online, at least he could relieve his boredom, right?

But after looking around, there is no one who can chat online.

It's boring!

Tang Zheng glanced outside the dormitory, it was still early, or ...... To practice?

Thinking of this, Tang Zheng really said he would leave.

"Hey, Don...... Are you here to practice?" Javier, the stadium administrator, asked curiously when he saw Tang Zheng in a training uniform.

"yes. Tang Zheng said while squatting and tying his shoes.

"But it's Christmas Eve. ”

"Hey, Uncle Javier, our country is nothing more than this Christmas Eve. Tang Zheng got up after tying his shoelaces, patted Javier on the shoulder, and picked up the key to the stadium hanging on the wall.

"Yes, yes, I remember that you China seems to have only passed that, what festival? People are old, and their memory is not good. Uncle Havel is very talkative, and he can't stop when the clip is opened: "The festival of eating dumplings, right?"

"Oh, you're talking about the Spring Festival, it's still early. After Tang Zheng finished speaking, the 'whoosh' sound disappeared.

Obviously, he was also a little afraid of the particularly talkative course keeper......

One person's basic training is no more monotonous and boring than two people.

But dreams are destined to be lonely journeys, Tang Zheng knows it very well.

The purpose of the training is to play, but it is useless for the individual to dribble in situ without confrontation, and Tang Zheng's personal ability to protect the ball is very good, and the physical confrontation when receiving the ball will easily lead to the loss of the ball, so this training was automatically rejected by Tang Zheng.

This time, the content of his personal solo training is aimed at his own weakness - long passing!

In the past few days of training, Tang Zheng has a better understanding of the position of the back waist.

In addition to being able to defend, the midfielder needs to be able to share the ball, otherwise the team will have one less person in the attack.

With the development of modern football, the back waist that can only defend is no longer suitable for modern football, and Tang Zheng used to play as a striker, and he has a strong desire to attack, so it is very uncomfortable for him to stay in the backcourt to defend honestly.

The exemplars of a successful modern midfielder are Steven Gerrard, Ballack, Andrea Pirlo, Cambiaso and Xavi Alonso......

Each of these players has strong attacking ability, especially the ability to pass long balls, which can enrich the team's tactical play.

There was no sparring, Tang Zheng took the crossbar of the south goal of the youth team training ground as the receiving point, and then placed the ball anywhere on the court to make a long pass.

As for why the south beam is used as the connection point, the reason is very simple, behind the south goal is a nine-meter-high hanging net, there is no need to worry about kicking the La Plata River behind, and the hanging net is about three meters away from the goal line, Tang Zheng has to do is to kick the ball in the space between the 7.32-meter-long beam and the hanging net.

Of course, the distance must not be short, but it must not be long, otherwise it will be meaningless.

Tang Zheng chose to start at 30 meters.

The common footwork of long passing is the inside of the instep, and the same is true for Tang Zheng, but the effect of the first attempt is not satisfactory, not to mention the power used, and the football is still a little floating in the air.

This kind of long pass loses its suddenness, which is equivalent to leaving the opponent time to judge the landing point, and even stabilize the defensive line.

Again!

After more than ten attempts, the effect is good, but the crosshair is gone.

After a while, the football in the iron frame was scattered all over the ground, Tang Zheng did not continue to try, but sat on the ground, thinking about whether he was using the wrong footwork?

The reason why he was able to win the National High School Football League championship was because of a mature set of rapid counterattack tactics, coupled with Tang Zheng's super personal ability, he was invincible in the national high school football class.

Even when he passes the ball to his teammates, it's all short.

Long passing?

Not at all.

Calming down, Tang Zheng found that his long pass touch position was not wrong, what was wrong was the power point, and his more than ten long pass attempts just now were all drilled from his previous shooting habits.

Diego Simeone stretched out, and he noticed that it was a little dark outside the window, so he looked at his watch, and it was half past six in the evening.

"Damn it. He slapped his thigh sharply as he cleaned up: "I forgot the time again, but I promised Karolina to have dinner with the children before I went out today." ”

With half an hour left before the agreed seven o'clock in the evening, Diego Simeone simply packed his things and walked out of the office area with his car keys.

As he walked along the street lights towards the parking lot, he noticed that the lights were still on at a training ground, and there was a 'bang' and 'bang' sound of touching the ball from time to time.

Isn't it Christmas Eve......? Does anyone not be on the few?

With this question in mind, Diego Simeone made a turn and walked to the youth training ground.

"This ...... Isn't this the Chinese Tang who was handpicked to join the team?" Diego Simeone looked at the familiar back, a little ashamed, he didn't take care of Tang Zheng when he brought Tang Zheng to the youth team last week.

Tang Zheng stood on the left side of the half-court arc, about 45 meters away from the goal crossbar, he stepped on the football with the sole of his foot, and then glanced up, ran and made a long pass.

Shots?

The idea was quickly dismissed by Diego Simeone, what is the use of practising a shot from such a distance?

So this possibility was denied by him, but he didn't bother Tang Zheng, but watched from the entrance of the youth team training ground to observe what Tang Zheng was practicing.

Soon, he could see from Tang Zheng's several consecutive attempts.

Tang Zheng is practicing long passing.

It is normal for defensive midfielders to practice long passes, after all, in the history of modern football, it is very common for defensive midfielders to launch counterattacks, and many times it is defensive midfielders who initiate them at the first time.

When a team has a player who is accurate in making long passes, the technical and tactical style of play will also become richer.
