Chapter 51: It's no longer the boy it once was

Zhang Qinghuan's position is not fixed in front, and he also needs to constantly retreat to receive passes from his teammates.

In the case that Qin Lin was unable to play, Zhao Kangming gave him the task of not a simple forward midfielder, but also responsible for connecting the team's midfield. So sometimes he has to retreat deep enough.

There is no way to do it.

In fact, if Qin Lin is not injured and Zhang Qinghuan can play well to get the opportunity to play, the work of retreating and connecting the midfield and backfield should have been done by Qin Lin, and what Zhang Qinghuan needs to connect is the midfield.

Qin Lin, accompanied by his wife and son, sat on the sofa in the living room and watched the live TV broadcast of the game.

"Running up and down like this, I'm a little worried about Zhang Qinghuan's physical strength." Qin Lin looked at the TV and said to his wife. "The quality of his training has never been high, plus he fools around every day...... The last month or so has been a bit better, but it's not enough......"

"Okay, he's only going to play half a game." The wife said.

As the wife of the captain of the Chinese national team, even if she didn't understand football before, after so many years, she still has basic football knowledge.

Qin Lin nodded and agreed with his wife's words: "I think Lao Zhao must be very aware of this, so he didn't let him start." ”

As soon as the words fell, the football was passed to Zhang Qinghuan, who was retreating to ask for the ball.

And the No. 8 player of Wuzhou Dongshan also kicked up immediately, not letting him turn around.

Zhang Qinghuan did not stop the ball, but directly knocked the football between the opponent's legs with the inside of his left foot, and at the same time he used the opponent's body as the axis, followed him to complete the turn, and caught up with the football!

"Wow! Pretty! The commentator of Anton TV exclaimed. It is worthy of Zhang Qinghuan! This ball sense! ”

His son Qin Qi in front of the TV also jumped up and applauded: "Handsome! ”

Zhao Kangming, who was on the bench off the field, went to see Chen Mo for the first time, and found that Chen Mo also cast a gaze at him, and the two old partners glanced at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes.

This is the Zhang Qinghuan they want to see!

Zhang Qinghuan, who caught up with the football, tried to continue to dribble the ball forward and bring up the offensive momentum of the shining star.

Another player from Wuzhou Dongshan rushed up from the side, and he squeezed up hard, sticking to Zhang Qinghuan and preventing him from getting out.

In the face of such a defense, Zhang Qinghuan chose to directly push the football forward, and then accelerate, relying on speed to eat the opponent raw.

His explosive power ensures that he can shake off his opponent in an instant and then get them stuck behind him.

But this time, he didn't make it.

Football is out of the way, but people don't get rid of it.

In the process of chasing the football, the other party did not give an inch, and the two of them hit each other arm by arm, and their bodies were close to their bodies. Football, which could have been caught up in two or three steps, seemed out of reach.

In the end, the football he went out was intercepted by the third Wuzhou Dongshan player who was guarding in front, and this attack of the shining star ended here.

"Ahh This ball is too big......" Anton TV commentator sighed.

The joy in the eyes of Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo flickered twice, and then disappeared, and they also regretted that this attack did not come out.

Also regretful is Qin Qi, the child leaned on the back of the sofa with his head in his hands.

※※※

After Hu Lai saw Zhang Qinghuan get rid of his opponent with a beautiful turn, he immediately stepped forward and prepared to respond.

Who would have thought that halfway through the run, he turned around and found that Zhang Qinghuan had slipped the football to the opponent's feet......

The offense and defense reversed in an instant, and he had to follow his teammates to quickly return to defense.

This Nima ran away in vain before, wasting his physical strength in vain......

His heart is bitter.

I could only spit at the back of Zhang Qinghuan, who was also on the back guard: "Damn!" Isn't it awesome when you train! ”

Also spitting on Zhang Qinghuan's back was Yuan Yue, the back of Wuzhou Dongshan who had no reaction in the face of Zhang Qinghuan's turn just now.

If it weren't for his teammates coming up to help, this attack would have been done with Shining Star.

Obviously, this is Zhang Qinghuan's response to his words.

Litter...... You're a!

※※※

Yuan Yue was bent on seeking revenge on Zhang Qinghuan, but when Shanxing attacked again, he found that Zhang Qinghuan did not stay in the middle lane, but went to the side.

As a gate in front of the back line and in the middle of the midfield, he naturally can't be pulled to the side casually, so that the front of the back line is wide open?

Although he really wanted to teach Zhang Qinghuan a lesson about this garbage, he could only spit over there: "Hey, sissy coward!" Don't run if you have the ability! ”

Zhang Qinghuan went to the side, of course, not to hide from Yuan Yue, his position was originally very flexible, and he would go wherever he needed.

As the team's midfield playmaker, no matter how much other teammates don't like him, they will still pass the football to him, after all, this is the request of head coach Zhao Kangming.

After receiving a pass from a teammate on the side, Zhang Qinghuan first pretended to cut inside, and then used the outside of his right foot to move the ball to the outside with the outside of his right instep and rushed forward with the ball.

However, he failed to deceive the defender, and after the opponent saw that the football was thrown out of his control for a while, he stepped forward to tackle it.

Zhang Qinghuan saw him shoveling with such a ferocious kick, and hurriedly jumped up to dodge, and the football was naturally shoveled out of the sideline by the opponent.

※※※

Qin Lin in front of the TV shook his head, from the first time Zhang Qinghuan took the ball on the court, he always felt a little strange, Zhang Qinghuan's performance was not quite right.

Now he finally figured out what was wrong.

Zhang Qinghuan's explosiveness is gone.

Zhang Qinghuan, who used to compete with him in the game, has a good breakthrough ability, in addition to his technical advantages, his explosiveness is also the main reason for his good breakthrough.

Throwing the football out, and then relying on explosive power to suddenly accelerate and throw off the opponent, this kind of kicking style was not uncommon in the previous Zhang Qinghuan.

But it didn't work out in today's game.

The reason for this, Qin Lin thought to himself, this might have a lot to do with his self-indulgence in the past few years.

Football is a physical-based sport, and physical fitness is something that needs to be maintained through training day in and day out.

Those professional players can get rich in body with just one month's vacation, not to mention that Zhang Qinghuan has only a handful of days of serious training in the past three years.

Athletes train hard, require a lot of willpower to persevere, and have high demands on diet, and that kind of restriction is really not something that ordinary people can endure for a long time. That's why we often see athletes quickly become fat as soon as they retire, this is because they don't have to insist on training anymore, and they don't have to work hard to avoid food, they can eat and drink openly, without moderation, just like revenge consumption, this is revenge eating, so can the body not be deformed?

The vast majority of professional football players, even if they insist on training every day, their physical fitness will inevitably decline with age, which is a normal natural law. In Chinese football, because the professionalism in all aspects is not as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as the concept of European football, this situation is more obvious and serious, such as when you are young, you can still play as a striker, and when you are older, you can play further and further back on the field, and finally play as a defender, which is a helpless move with declining physical fitness and no explosiveness.

Playing as a striker requires a high level of physical fitness, especially speed and explosiveness. Playing as a defender requires more experience, and older players are not physically fit, but they are experienced, and they can still find their place in the back line, and they can continue to eat in professional football.

Of course, these examples are long-term, slow physical changes and are not a big deal.

And Zhang Qinghuan's situation is different from them. The long-term slackness made his physical fitness begin to decline in advance. And because he hasn't retired yet, he still trains with the team, even if he doesn't take it seriously, but at least he has practiced, so this decline is not very sudden and obvious.

He has barely played in the last six months, and now that he has suddenly been given the opportunity to play, the drop in fitness has finally been reflected.

Qin Lin sighed in his heart.

The boy who ran on the court with black hair fluttering and seemed to be dancing in the wind finally couldn't come back......

※※※

Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo looked at each other again, and they also saw that something was wrong with Zhang Qinghuan.

And there are also speculations similar to Qin Lin.

"It's all changed, it's up to him how he plays...... It's not that you can't break through and you can't kick. Chen Mo comforted Zhao Kangming, or he was also comforting himself.

Zhang Qinghuan himself is not a winger who breaks through with the ball......

He's a midfielder, and having the ability to break through just makes him a big deal, but if he doesn't, it's not a big deal.

The key is whether Zhang Qinghuan himself is aware of the changes in his body?

Both the head coach and assistant coach of the Twinkle Star have their sights set on the Twinkle Ten on the field.

※※※

Zhang Qinghuan realized this problem.

After two failed attempts to accelerate the breakthrough in a row, he knew that it was definitely more than a simple "accident".

Perhaps, in the eyes of outsiders, it can be explained by "accidental phenomena", but how can he not feel the changes in his own body?

When he was kicking his legs and trying to exert force, he felt that his body was a little disobedient.

He obviously kicked the ground with all his strength, but his speed couldn't go up.

It's like...... It's like when driving, the accelerator pedal is pressed to the end, and the engine compartment is also heard from the engine room hoarse roar, the momentum looks quite loud, but when you look out the window, the speed of the car is not fast.

The engine speed has increased by five or six thousand, and the speed is still increasing slowly one kilometer per hour.

What went wrong?

Zhang Qinghuan actually knew this answer very well in his heart, but he was a little reluctant to admit it.

In the past three years, he has been singing and singing night after night, indulging in joy and emptiness of his body.

When he was juggling errands on the training ground, wandering through the nightclubs, and venting his energy on women, he never imagined that one day his body would not be able to support a high-intensity official match......

He always thought that with his talent and talent, as long as he was a little serious and practiced for a few days, he could sweep his opponent in the competition and win everyone's cheers and praise again and again.

Isn't that what football is all about? The winner is king. As long as I can win, as long as I perform well, all the previous problems are not a problem.

As long as I behave well......

What the hell is going to happen if I don't behave well?

Zhang Qinghuan was a little panicked when he thought about what his life would become if he couldn't perform well.

Brother Xu also asked me to show a good performance and fight for me to go to the Chinese Super League team next season......

No, I can't just throw in the towel!

Calm down, Zhang Qinghuan, calm down...... I'm not a player who plays just with speed, I'm a fucking midfielder, I'm a fucking playmaker!

Pass!

Use the pass to tear apart the opposition's defence and create opportunities for your teammates......

yes, that's the way I play.

What if the explosiveness is gone, I am still Zhang Qinghuan, the ...... "China's Francis"!

When this title reappeared in Zhang Qinghuan's mind, he himself was stunned for a moment.

It's another name that feels so far away......
