Chapter 14: Future Potential (I)

However, although it has been decided that he will sign the hero, Benitez still did not call off the trial match. Instead, when I already felt that the hero would no longer have any wonderful performances, I still let it go on.

This is because, although he has seen the potential of the hero, it is far from enough to price the hero's future contract on this alone.

In other words, according to the hero's previous table, Benitez may have given him a template of just a point-grabbing striker who needs the help of the team. However, does the hero have the potential to become an all-round striker who can respond to his teammates and help them, or even a nuclear striker who can complete the attack on his own.

This answer requires Bennetstone's next observations, or only a general answer. It is Benitez's responsibility as Valencia's manager to give the club's hierarchy a clear idea of what their new signings are capable of and what potential they have, and how much room for appreciation.

If the hero at this time knew what Benitez was thinking, he would probably be very angry. Because Benitez's judgment will make him feel that he is being looked down upon.

But in reality, Benitez's views are really very realistic and objective.

Because after the hero's goal, I believe that the main team's back line will no longer have any contempt and carelessness for him, and will keep a close eye on him.

In such a situation, if a point-grabbing striker wants to break such a defense, a certain amount of game experience must be indispensable, and it is precisely the 18-year-old hero who is the most scarce.

Therefore, in such a situation, if Valencia's main guard line can't prevent heroes, then they can really pack up their bedding as soon as possible and go back to their respective homes. And Benitez, as the builder of this line of defense, can also take the blame and resign early.

After the restart, the hero's situation did become as difficult as Benitez expected.

Whenever he wants to start or try to confuse Ayala with his running position, the Argentine will always take the first step to jam the passing route given to the hero by Aimar and others, or block him as if he saw through the hero's running line, acting as a roadblock to annoy the hero.

In this way, the sharpest weapon that the hero has now has is almost completely sealed by Ayala.

This made the hero taste inaction and powerlessness on the field again, if the situation at that time in the first half was running and not doing anything, then now he is unable to move an inch, and the activity area is charged.

Damn, looking at Ayala's calm smile beside him, the hero felt a wave of unhappiness in his heart.

He knew that his weakness had been exposed, and he hadn't thought about it before, but he didn't expect to be seen through by Ayala so soon.

The hero's biggest weakness at this time is that as a striker, his attack range is too small, just within the range of the penalty area. Until his kung fu in the box is up to the level of Ruud van Nistelrooy or Inzaghi, that's his Achilles' heel.

The long-range shot has not yet been practiced at home, and the ability to break through with the ball has not yet been developed, and the storage of these two weaknesses allows the hero to immediately tending to no role on the field once he retreats his position.

This is also the main reason why the hero was so lightly guarded by Ayala and could not continue to make a difference.

However, he is not completely ineffective on the pitch now, at least he has firmly nailed Ayala's position near the main team's penalty area, and even let the main team's back line not be pressed lightly, creating a lot of convenience for his teammates.

The hero himself knows this, but he hates it.

Because this is his trial match, he should have been the protagonist of the game, not a support bait like he is now.

No, I can't just lose, I can't! After Aimar's pass to him was once again blocked by Ayala, the hero began to run out of the box and expand his range of motion.

Doing it may not succeed, but if you don't do something, you must fail.

The hero, who remembered his grandfather's words, gritted his teeth and took the lead in making changes, and his action also attracted the attention of Benitez and Mendes on the sidelines.

A professional footballer's career is never easy, and the reason why some players can become superstars and legends is because they can use their own methods to solve the opponent's defensive set-up, so that their football level can evolve until they reach their peak.

Therefore, when a young player is targeted on the court, how he behaves is also an important basis for the outside world to check whether he has the potential to be a superstar.

However, given that such a process cannot be completed in a single game, Benitez and Mendes are only looking forward to whether the hero will show such potential, rather than completing the process of evolution immediately.

After pulling out of the penalty area, the hero's chances of getting the ball on the pitch increased dramatically. Although the actual threat is almost gone, having a football at your feet is the beginning of solving the problem on the football field.

After starting to receive passes from his teammates, the hero did not immediately rush into action, he was well aware of his level and ability, and did not stupidly hit the stone with an egg. Instead, try to play with your teammates in a way that he's not very good at, and connect yourself with your teammates first.

His move was nodded and praised by Benitez on the sidelines.

The biggest problem with young players on the pitch and in the game is that they are not calm and reckless after encountering difficulties and difficulties, while the heroes clearly show a different side of their maturity.

At the same time, the other aspects of the hero that Benitez wanted to see were beginning to emerge little by little.

The first is the ability to physically resist. In this regard, Benitez had little to expect from a very thin looking hero.

But a scene in the 11th minute of the second half completely changed his opinion. Before Sissoko's pass reached the hero's feet, Ayala, who was behind the hero, suddenly exerted his strength, trying to squeeze past the hero and destroy the hero's pass.

However, the power of the hero is far beyond his expectations. Can't squeeze in, kid! He felt as if he had hit a concrete wall, and the hero did not move under his power, as if he were nailed to the ground.

It's just that the hero who used the unloading method in martial arts taught him by his grandfather didn't know how much shock his appearance at this time gave others.

Seeing that Ayala, who was more than a whole circle bigger than the hero, couldn't help him at all, if he didn't know Ayala's serious habits, Benist and the others would have wondered if the Argentines had eaten the benefits of the hero and deliberately released the water.

After seeing the hero receive the pass and pass the ball back to Aimar, Benitez jotted down the line "unexpected physical confrontation" in his small notebook that he didn't know when.

By the way, a sentence that has not yet been written can be crossed out, "Jian yƬ will be trained by a physical trainer for a period of time, and then join the first-line ......"

In addition to his physical confrontation ability, the hero also surprised Benitez with his sudden explosiveness in short ranges.

In the 20th minute of the second half, Aimar's long ball behind him allowed the hero and Ayala to come on a short run.

According to the speed of the hero's performance in the previous game, Ayala, who had already taken the lead and had experienced himself stuck in front of him, did not expect the hero to make him miscalculate again here.

Although the martial arts training since childhood did not give the hero martial arts novel-like physique, it still brought him an extraordinary level in terms of muscle explosiveness and explosive speed.

In this regard, the hero has been tested in La Masia, and the result is that within 10 steps, his burst speed is unmatched. Although I don't know where it will be ranked among the young players in the world, since it is proud of its peers in La Masia, the result must not be too bad, at least it can be among the best.

From that moment on, the hero knew that his speed within 10 steps was an advantage that few people could beat. This is why he is always one step ahead of others in the box, faster and more agile.

Just like at this time, I saw that the hero who was still behind Ayala suddenly shortened and made an acceleration shape leaning forward.

At the same time, he also took a step to the side, and with the sudden burst of power of his feet, he curved past Ayala who was blocking him and came to the ball.

Since the football was already very close to the goal when the two were catching up with the football, this time the hero could already choose to shoot directly.

After scoring that goal, the hero, who didn't get such a good chance to shoot, suddenly lit up his eyes, like a hungry wolf seeing a steak, and pounced.

However, the only difference is that the hungry wolf puts his mouth in front of him, while he lies down and slides in a hurry, with his feet in the front.

At this time, Ayala panicked for the third time in this game, in his eyes, the hero is no different from a monster now, and there is a weirdness all over his body, which often exceeds his expectations, and it is not in line with common sense at all.

This is the third time I've been taught by this kid, and Argentina's main central defender instantly began to wonder if he was old enough to start declining.

Thankfully, Canizares' timely strike saved Ayala's face and prevented him from witnessing the hero's goal for the second time.

The hero's shot, which was already enough to complete the tackle, did not make it difficult for Canizares to make a save. It can be said that the hero's shot ran into the arms of Canizares, who had already blocked the angle in advance.

After seeing that his shot was unsuccessful, the hero lying on the ground regretfully punched the court. However, he did not regret it for too long, because from this shot just now, he suddenly found that he was not without a way to break through the current predicament.

With the first, there will be a second. With this optimistic thought, the hero scrambled to his feet like a spring in his butt, and seeing hope, he couldn't wait to get the game back up.

At the same time, Benitez's gaze on him off the pitch grew brighter and brighter.

It's like seeing an unpolished rough diamond.
