Chapter 017: Steady as an Old Dog

After Zhuo Cunzhi scored a goal, the reserve players took advantage of the high morale and launched a wave of offensive.

It's a pity that the gap in strength is there after all, if you want to attack, there will definitely be loopholes in defense.

However, with two more players involved in the attack, the defense of the reserve team almost broke again.

In desperation, he can only choose to defend intensively.

Coach Hag was also aware of his mistake at this time.

In such a crushing game, it is difficult for the offensive ability of the reserve team players to show.

In fact, he made this arrangement in the first place just to find form for the first team.

As for scouting the reserves, on the one hand, for the future of the team, and on the other hand, only to appease the players of these reserves.

As mentioned earlier, the so-called reserve status is actually very awkward.

On the one hand, they are not too young to have the same potential as the youth team.

On the other hand, they are not strong, so they stay in the reserves.

Young talents use the reserves as a springboard, but those who have no talent are only in the reserves just in case.

They usually only get a chance to play when the first team is hit by a wave of injuries.

Not to mention, most of the players in the reserve squad have spent some time in Aachen and the coaching staff know what they are capable of.

After all, there are only four new players in Aachen's development squad, including Zhuo Cunzhi and Joao.

But what Hahe didn't expect was that Zhuo Cunzhi's performance gave him a surprise!

Originally, it was in Xie Hui's face that he arranged Zhuo Cunzhi to start, and he only hoped that he could show his characteristics.

I never thought that the carp I thought I fell into was a hidden dragon!

Zhuo Cunzhi's performance is so good, so what is the strength of the other new players?

With such anticipation, as soon as the first half ended, Hag changed the lineups of both teams.

When Zhuo Cunzhi left the game, Joao, who had been excited for a long time, had already warmed up.

"Come on." Zhuo Cunzhi wiped his sweat and said.

"Wait and see what I do!" Joao is still so confident.

Zhuo Cunzhi sat on the bench, feeling his powerlessness.

In the first half, it ended 1:2, although the first team was stronger, but the reserve team players united in dense defense, but still failed to score again.

It is worth mentioning that during the defensive period, Zhuo Cunzhi basically did not perform.

He's not taking a lazy walk, but with him or not, it doesn't have much impact on the team's defense, like a transparent person.

In this regard, Zhuo Cunzhi is quite unwilling!

He doesn't really care about defending, he considers himself an attacking wing-back, but he hates his weakness.

He was diligent in getting to the position every time, but when he was really defending, he was like a stake, and he didn't know that he thought he was defending with his eyes.

After returning to his hometown in the first half, Zhuo Cunzhi summed up his current shortcomings-

First, poor physical strength, this is a cliché, feeling the emptiness in the body, Zhuo Cunzhi knows very well what he should change in the next days.

Second, poor defense, whether it is marking, stealing, or joint defense, his performance can only make people shake their heads and sigh, but for defensive training, it should be ranked after physical exercise.

Third, the shooting is poor, although he scored a goal in this game, Zhuo Cunzhi knows very well that his shooting level is really not good.

In addition, he doesn't feel that as a wing-back, he doesn't need to work on his shooting ability.

When it comes to the professional arena, if everyone knows that he is not good at shooting, then when he gets the ball, there will be a lot less change in his feet.

People who can pass and shoot are naturally more difficult to defend against than people who can only pass the ball.

However, thinking about today's single-knife situation, he is afraid that he will not encounter it often in the future.

It's better to say that he is in a position that rarely goes into the box, and he is not a striker.

Long shot, what should be practiced is long shot!

If his long-range shot is reliable, he doesn't need to be careful to shake the goalkeeper at all, and shoots directly when the goalkeeper is attacking, when the goalkeeper has not had time to seal the angle, and a reliable long-range shot is more useful.

The training of long-range shooting is more important than physical training.

Zhuo Cunzhi knows very well that even if he performs well and enters the first team, there is no need to think about starting for the time being.

Physical strength is not something that can be exercised in a short period of time.

Showing himself better in the time of the bench is what Zhuo Cunzhi should do now.

In the process of Zhuo Cunzhi's thinking, the second half of the game was over.

1:0, the players of the reserve team still lost.

Most of the rotation players who came on the first team were lower than the starters in the first half, but higher than the reserve players.

Although the game ended 1-0, the first team dominated the reserves throughout the game, with fifteen shots on goal at half-time, five of which were inside the woodwork.

If it weren't for goalkeeper Straub's outstanding performance, the reserve team would have swallowed a heavy defeat in the second half!

Joao walked off the field with a depressed look on his face.

He wanted to perform well and be better than Zhuo Cunzhi, but his teammates didn't help him.

Forty-five minutes into the half, his teammates were afraid that they would shrink into the penalty area for forty minutes, and they had no idea of attacking at all.

These people are old fritters, and they know Hach's thoughts very well.

Last season, Aachen played 34 league games and scored 42 goals, which is a joint fifth from the bottom for attacking quality!

In this way, Hag should improve the team's attacking ability, but it is not.

Last season, Aachen played 34 league games and conceded 60 goals, the second-to-last defensive quality!

It can be said that Aachen was able to be relegated last season and seemed to be as stable as an old dog, but in fact, he was panicked.

Hag was determined to improve the team's defense, and such an attitude was naturally noticed by the old fritters of the reserve team.

Therefore, it is conceivable how they will behave.

Under such conditions, it is impossible for Joao to want to play well.

But Hag was satisfied, and conceding only one goal was a victory for him.

Last season, Aachen was even slaughtered 5:1 by Osnabrück!

Against teams such as Nuremberg, Borussia Monchenchen and Mannheim, Aachen has also suffered heavy defeats, but the opponents are all teams in the upper reaches of the Bundesliga last season, and some have been promoted to the Bundesliga.

But Osnabrück, that was the last team to be relegated.

The players in the front court finally scored one goal, and the back court immediately conceded two goals, which no one can stand it.

So Hag was determined to strengthen the defense.

As for the offense, there is Hui, and he is not very worried.

After all, Xie Hui only played 24 games in China and Germany last season for the national team's competition.

In a limited number of games, Xie Hui scored 14 goals, accounting for one-third of the total number of goals!

And now, Xie Hui is no longer the main force of the national team, and he will definitely be able to participate in more club competitions, right?

Thinking about it this way, Hag feels that the team's attack has been stabilized!

Steady as an old dog, okay!
