Chapter 17: Christmas Eve

Two days before Christmas Eve, Tang Zheng was accompanied by Matteo Musacchio to take the ball against the training. In the words of the youth team coach Igabi Fabiani: " Your personal basic skills are too bad, you have to practice well. "
So in these two days, Matteo Musazio accompanied Tang Zheng to carry out the boring basic training.
For example: pass and catch the ball, express a quick express, close the interference of the ball, take the ball.
Of course, Tang Zheng's past as an excellent striker, shooting training he did not fall.
Defensive midfielder may be the most suitable position, but who stipulates that the midfielder cannot complete the shot?
In shooting training, Tang Zheng and Matteo Musacchio conducted more long-range shots after physical confrontation.
However, Matteo Musachio, who is 1.8 meters tall and weighs 75 kilograms, has a stronger physical resistance than Tang Zheng, so the quality of the completed long-range shot is very poor.
Two days of basic training time passed quickly, Tang Zheng ushered in the first Christmas Eve in Argentina, but as a Chinese, even if he lives in the international metropolis of Shanghai, he did not like this festival.
Christmas Eve is coming, and it also means that all the echelons of the Riverbed Club have begun a half-month holiday.
The previously lively dormitory area suddenly became very cold, but Tang Zheng did not want to disturb Chen Zhonghua, and refused to invite the elders for training reasons.
The reason, because Chen Jia is now struggling for a career in the United States, no one plays with him.
Fibino Rodrigo also invited Tang Zheng to spend Christmas together, but was also rejected by Tang Zheng.
As for the reason, he changed one and practiced!
Fortunately, the training base of the club has not been suspended, and the stadium and dormitory can be used, otherwise Tang Zheng will be homeless.
Christmas Eve, Tang Zheng was destined to live alone.
However, how to spend a long night?
Complaining to parents is obviously not Tang Zheng's style. Besides ... jet lag cannot be ignored.
At 5 pm local time in Argentina, it is still 4 am in Beijing time.
So ... he opened his notebook and logged in to Tencent QQ to see if any friends were online, at least he could get rid of it?
But after looking around, no one can chat online.
Really boring!
Tang Zheng glanced outside the dormitory, it was still early, otherwise ... go to practice?
Thinking of this, Tang Zheng really said to leave.
"Hey, Tang ... Come to practice?" The stadium manager Javier asked Tang Zheng in a training suit and asked curiously.
"Yeah." Tang Zheng said while squatting while tying shoelaces.
"But today is Christmas Eve."
"Hey, Uncle Javier, our country is only this Christmas Eve." Tang Zheng tied his shoelaces and got up and patted Javier's shoulder, then picked up the stadium key hanging on the wall.
"Yes, I remember, you seem to have only the one in China. What festival? People are old and the memory is not good." Uncle Javier is very talkative, and the clip can't stop when it's opened: "Just eat dumplings, yes Right? "
"Oh, the one you said is the Spring Festival, it's still early." After Tang Zheng finished speaking, the whine disappeared.
Obviously, he was also a little afraid of this particularly talkative course manager ...
Basic training for one person is no more than two people, it will be particularly monotonous and more boring.
But the dream is destined to be a lonely journey, Tang Zheng is very clear.
Personal dribbling is obviously not effective. The purpose of training is to play, but the personal dribbling without any confrontation is useless. Moreover, Tang Zheng ’s personal ability to protect the ball is very good. The physical confrontation will easily lead to a goal concealment, so this training is automatically rejected by Tang Zheng.
This time, his personal training content is aimed at his weakness-long pass!
These days of training, Tang Zheng has a better understanding of the position of the lower back.
In addition to the need to be able to defend the midfielder, the ball is particularly important, otherwise the team is equal to one less player in the offense.
With the development of modern football, the defensive midfielder is no longer suitable for modern football. In addition, Tang Zheng's previous position was a forward, and he has a strong desire to attack. It is very uncomfortable for him to stay in the backcourt.
Examples of modern successful midfielders are Gerald, Barak, Pirlo, Cambiasso, Xavi Alonso ...
Each of these players has a strong offensive ability, especially the ability of long pass, which can enrich the team's tactics.
Without sparring, Tang Zheng took the crossbeam of the southern goal of the youth team's training ground as the point of contact, and then set the ball for a long pass at any place on the court.
As for why the southern beam is used as the contact point, the reason is very simple. There is a net hanging up to nine meters behind the goal on the south side. Do n’t worry about kicking the La Plata River behind, and the net is about three meters away from the goal line. Tang Zheng All you have to do is kick the ball in the space between the 7.32 meter long beam and the net.
Of course, the distance must not be short, but it must not be long, otherwise it would be meaningless.
Tang Zheng chose to try from 30 meters.
The popular method of long pass is the inside of the instep, as is Tang Zheng, but the effect of the first attempt is not satisfactory, not to mention the power is too great, and the football is still floating in the air.
This kind of long pass loses the suddenness, which is equivalent to giving the opponent time to judge the landing point, and even stabilize the defense line.
Come again!
Tried more than ten times, the effect is good, but the sight is gone.
For a while, the footballs in the iron frame were scattered all over the place. Tang Zheng did not continue to try, but sat on the ground, thinking whether he was using the wrong footwork?
The previous position was played as a striker, and the team is not a strong team. The reason for winning the national high school student football league championship is because of a mature fast counterattack tactics, coupled with Tang Zheng ’s super personal ability, in the national high school The football session is invincible.
Even if he passes to his teammates, they are all short passes.
Long pass?
No need at all.
Quietly, Tang Zheng found that his long pass touched the ball in the right place, but the force was the point. He just tried more than a dozen long pass attempts from the previous shooting habits.
※※※
Diego Simone stretched out a lazy waist. He found that it was dark outside the window, so he looked at his watch. It was six thirty in the evening.
"Damn." He slammed his thighs while packing up: "I forgot the time again, but I promised Carolina and the kids to have dinner before going out today.
The time is half an hour away from the agreed seven o'clock in the evening. Diego Simone simply packed up and took the car key and walked out of the office area.
When he walked along the street light towards the parking lot, he found that there was a light on the training ground, and from time to time, the sound of "Boom", "Boom" was heard.
Is n’t today Christmas Eve? Why ... is anyone outrageous?
With this question, Diego Simone turned to the training ground of the youth team.
"This ... this is not the Chinese Tang that he hand-picked to join the team?" Diego Simone looked at the familiar back, a bit ashamed, and took Tang Zheng to the youth team last week and he didn't care.
Tang Zheng was standing on the left side of the arc in the halftime, about 45 meters away from the goal beam. He stepped on the football with his sole, then looked up, running, long pass.
Shoot?
This idea was quickly rejected by Diego Simone. What's the use of shooting at such a long distance?
So this possibility was denied by him, but instead of disturbing Tang Zheng, he looked at the entrance of the youth team's training ground and observed what Tang Zheng was practicing.
Soon, he tried to see it from Tang Zheng in a row.
Tang Zheng is practicing long pass.
It is normal for defensive midfielders to practice long pass. After all, in the history of modern football, defensive midfielder long counterattack is a very common tactical play, and in many cases, defensive midfielder is the first. Time to launch.
A team has a long-pass accurate player, and the technical and tactical play will also become richer.
