Chapter 9: The Value of Zhang Desheng

Zhang Desheng hasn't really played a few left wingers, but as Alberto said, his technique is well-rounded enough, and the key is to be all-round with both left and right feet, so he doesn't feel uncomfortable even on the left side.

What he didn't expect was that he was actually in the same group as Shen Yi and Tiago.

This is definitely a good thing, especially with Shen Yi handling the ball in the midfield, he and Thiago will not be unable to touch the ball.

Although these Portuguese players did not exclude these oriental faces, they were not very friendly, anyway, they couldn't get into people's circles, and people didn't want to enter their circles.

After the training match began, the first person who caught Mourinho's attention was actually Shen Yi.

Shen Yi's biggest feature, or the ability to still get it among European players of the same age, is that he has a solid dribble, a wide field of vision, and accurate passing.

The technical level here should be under the automatic control of the system, and the use of qi luck strengthened him.

But his broad vision, good ball intelligence, including first-class physical fitness in Asia, should be born with talent.

This makes him a bit of a Chinese version of Fabregas.

Just 5 minutes into this training match, Shen Yi suddenly passed a single ball to Postiga with amazing explosive power after turning around and dodging the defender's pressing.

Postiga's dribbling was average, but his explosiveness was even better than Thiago's, and Shen Yi passed the ball just right, so Postiga, who had superb shooting skills, took a goal for the red team first.

"Shen, nice pass!"

Postiga doesn't know much about their small group, but sometimes it's so easy to build relationships between players.

The importance of this training match is self-evident, and Shen Yi's top-notch pass not only allowed Postiga to perfectly show his explosiveness and superb shooting skills, but also covered up his shortcomings in poor dribbling ability.

Therefore, it is impossible for him not to be grateful to this Chinese teammate, and at the same time envy Thiago not far away.

But that can't be helped, Thiago's active attack ability is slightly stronger than Postiga's, but his explosiveness and shooting skills are inferior.

Shen Yi also has to show his value, and it is impossible to force Thiago to pass the ball, otherwise he will have to be replaced first.

Mourinho naturally set his sights on Shen Yi at this time, because it is not difficult to find a striker like Postiga, but a midfielder with the style of a general is hard to find.

At this time, Shen Yi obviously has the demeanor of a general, he can always have a flash of inspiration in his calm and calm control, which is a very rare talent.

After Shen Yi sent an assist full of spirituality, the red team naturally slowly regarded him as a midfield hub, and whoever let the football come to him and pass it out was like being amplified by magic.

Not long after, Shen Yi suddenly shifted the ball in a wide range and finally found Zhang Desheng in a transition between offense and defense.

"Beautiful!"

Mourinho's eyes lit up instantly!

Zhang Desheng faced this long ball that was not easy to catch, and actually lifted a weighty cushion with his left leg in a high-speed run, and then the football passed directly under the crotch of the unresponsive defender as if by magic.

In this play, the extremely fatal stoppage suddenly gave Zhang Desheng a chance to run wild on the side.

The fullback who had just been toyed with was stunned to find that he couldn't catch up with this Chinese who was three years younger?

Zhang Desheng's speed is indeed very fast, especially the dribbling speed is almost not much slower than the empty run.

This is when the second-tier players are generally only eighteen or nineteen years old, and he can certainly show a unique demeanor.

"Leave it for me!"

Alves burst out of the box in time to make up for it, but the defender, who is known for his ferocious tackles at the Porto Academy, looked a little reckless in his tackle.

Zhang Desheng faced this menacing flying tackle, and a relaxed and freehand outside instep dialed the ball to change direction, not only easily completed the breakthrough, but also directly rushed to the penalty area to face the goalkeeper.

Goalkeeper Bruno Valle secretly scolded as a "fool" and could only fight for a chance of survival.

But in the face of Zhang Desheng, who was so calm that he didn't look like a person, he actually stepped on a two-legged bicycle in front of him.

Valle was not so calm and quick to react, and was shaken off the spot with no center of gravity, and could only be caught in one direction to pounce on the ball.

This kind of invalid gambling naturally will not work, Zhang Desheng easily changed direction to get rid of the goalkeeper, and a shot that still looked easy and freehand directly made the score 2:0.

He ...... Seems to have some room left? ”

Mourinho has also read countless people, but a player like Zhang Desheng who has an indifferent face from beginning to end, every time he passes seems to be easy, and every time he makes a move, he really hasn't seen it!?

"That's where he is monster, every time I see him with the ball, I can see a sense of comfort in his face, as if everything on the court is something he can do with a single hand."

Alberto will still be very painful, this little guy is sometimes like a cold line, every time he scores a goal, he doesn't even let his teammates run over to celebrate, and just runs back with a calm face.

But this is wronged Zhang Desheng, he just thinks that this kind of small scene is not worth celebrating at all!

If he does score in an important game, it's up to you to see if he celebrates!

After Zhang Desheng scored a goal, he played more leisurely.

At this time, although his athleticism was still on the rise, his foot skills were relatively mature.

These second-tier players are either talented but young newcomers, or they are physically mature but not as gifted as substitutes.

His current combat power is just right for him to be like a fish in water in front of such an opponent.

If you cooperate with the crossing, I don't know what the reason is, but it is a ridiculously fast nervous reaction and physiological reaction, which is the basis for him to be able to appear comfortable at any time.

At this time, the defenders of the blue team always have a feeling of not being able to keep up with the rhythm when facing Zhang Desheng, and it seems that everything is slower than the opponent, but Zhang Desheng does not look so fast.

This feeling of being dominated by someone with a thread naturally makes them more and more constrained, and slowly even their confidence is lost, and there is no chance to fight back.

Less than 30 minutes into the training match, Alves, the blue team's defensive giant, was once again forced to face Zhang Desheng, who had entered the hinterland.

But under the latter's sudden burst of Allegro continuous plucking, he was cleaned up by a standard set of croquettes.

This time, Zhang Desheng was not greedy, and sent the ball directly to the ribs of the left penalty area to the small penalty area.

Thiago arrived and fired a tackle into the back of the net to make it 3-0.

Mourinho's smile can't be hidden at this time, Zhang Desheng passed the ball with his left foot this time, but the shot just now was with his right foot, which is indeed a rare non-reverse footballer.

After the first half of the training session, he had actually decided which players to pick.

But in order to give these players some hope, mainly to give Alberto enough face, he still sat and watched the whole game.

Zhang Desheng was actually substituted after only half the game, because his performance of lying flat on the left side did not need to continue to observe.

In the first half, he not only contributed 1 goal and 1 assist, but also completely regarded the left side as his own back garden, and half of the red team's attacks were launched from his left side.

In the second half, when he was not on the pitch, the RED team's attack immediately became a little sluggish, which further proved his worth.

Shen Yi's flaws have even been exposed because of this, although he has top-level vision and excellent ball intelligence, and he is quite a master in passing accuracy and rhythm control, but his athleticism is already third-rate in Europe.

This gives him a lack of ability to break forward, including a bit of a leak on the defensive end.

Once the blue team does not need a large number of defensive forces to contain Zhang Desheng, it can easily divide the troops to lock up Shen Yi, who is good at controlling the ball, but protecting the ball is average.

At this time, without the midfield to deliver cannonballs, the explosive Postiga is of little use, and for a time only Thiago can create a threat on his own.

However, when Alberto was grouped, he sent the players who defended well to the blue team, and the players who attacked well were on the red team.

Thiago couldn't break the defense alone, and in the end, the blue team chased the score to 4:4 in the second half.

"Great game!"

Mourinho smiled happily after watching the game, and immediately stepped forward to hug Alberto and thank him, and today this old guy really gave him a lot of surprises!
