Stand by the last line of defense

Chapter 26 The First Professional League Game ([-])
Seeing that Zheng Long saved the opponent's shots one after another, he successfully defended the goal.

After cheering, Principal Liu Zheng sat down again.

His back was sweating just now.

Sitting down now, I feel a little tired.

However, he was in a very happy mood now, and couldn't help but smile.

Based on the performance just now, Zaragoza's coach Popovich should give Zheng Long more chances to play this season!
Even if it is not the main force, it should be a member of the important rotation lineup.

After a season of training, if he can become the main force next season, it will be perfect!

……

Seeing Zheng Long come up as a substitute, it's a meritorious service.

Captain Pedro hurried up to pull Zheng Long up from the ground.

"Good job!"

At this time, other people also ran over and patted Zheng Long's shoulder or head.

They shouted at Zheng Long in Spanish.

"Good job. Man!"

"Dragon, continue to behave like this!"

Zheng Long showed a bright smile and clapped hands with the team members one by one to celebrate.

"The game is not over yet. Everyone work hard!"

Although Zheng Long's Spanish is a bit strange, but at least everyone can understand it.

Hearing Zheng Long's reminder, they reacted.Captain Pedro shouted loudly and asked the players to reorganize the front.

At the beginning, I saw the goalkeeper get a red card and was sent off.

There is something wrong with the mentality of Zaragoza's players.

They were hit for a while.

Many players couldn't help but wonder if they could win this game.

But Zheng Long won the trust of the players with his outstanding performance.

Let Zaragoza's players settle down from their impetuous mood.

This substitute goalkeeper is good, no, it should be said to be better than that guy in Alcolia.

He should be able to guard the goal very well.

We may not lose.

The players who regained their mentality did not make the low-level mistakes just now.

When Huelva takes the corner.

Zaragoza's No. 4 central defender Cabrera fought hard and succeeded in pushing the ball out of the penalty area.

"It's unbelievable!"

The commentator looked around and saw that the stadium, which had been quiet and worried just now, was now rejuvenated.

They enthusiastically cheer for the home team!

Taking advantage of the stalemate in the game, the commentator turned off the microphone, and he immediately turned back and shouted at his assistant.

"Damn it, go and give me the information of that substitute No. 42 player!"

Before that, he only knew that the other party was Zheng Long, an awkward name, and he didn't know anything else.This made him feel very uncomfortable.

He needs more information.

Zaragoza, who had returned to normal, performed well, and the game became very anxious for a while, launching a fierce fight in the midfield.

The ball was scrambling back and forth in the midfield, and Huelva wanted to take advantage of the opponent's lack of one player to score as soon as possible and hit the opponent's morale.

But after several passes, there was no way to pass the ball smoothly to the penalty area.

Several long-range shots from the outside were of low quality under the tight defense of Zaragoza.

If it's not weak, or it's just shooting anti-aircraft guns directly, it's not a big threat to Zheng Long.

As soon as 2 minutes into stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

Zaragoza temporarily reached a 0-0 tie with Huelva in the away game.

With one less player, Zaragoza is quite satisfied with such a score.

Huelva was full of displeasure.

Walking off the court, captain Pedro came over and patted Zheng Long. "Good job! Keep going in the second half!"

Zheng Long nodded. "Yeah! I will!"

When Zheng Long passed by the player tunnel, many fans saw Zheng Long coming.

They raised their arms and shouted at Zheng Long. "Nice job!"

"That was a great save!"

"Keep it up and let Huelva go home crying!"

……

Hearing the cheers from the fans, Zheng Long responded by waving to them.

In the locker room, after Zheng Long walked into the locker room, he felt a completely different treatment from before.

Many players waved and greeted Zheng Long.

The head coach and the assistant coach walked into the locker room while talking. When Popovich saw Zheng Long communicating with the players, he thought to himself.

It was indeed correct to take the risk to replace him.

He said to Zheng Long. "Good job, keep up the good work!"

"Yes, sir!"

After a word of praise, the head coach nodded and began to arrange the tactics for the second half.

Now the score is 0 to 0, and there is one less player on our side.Although it is not easy, but this season Zaragoza is only thinking about being able to compete in La Liga.

Win even if you take a risk.

Zheng Long's performance inspired the head coach to take risks.

He decided to gamble!

The assistant coach moved the tactical board over at this time, and the head coach drew on the board with a marker.

"I know we have one less player, but that's not why we lose. We have to leave the victory to the fans who came to support us.

In the second half, the opponent will probably think that we will maintain the tactics of the first half and try to keep the tie.Just a few minutes before the opening, we continued to let the opponent press down.

When the opponent's defense line presses forward, we must quickly catch the opponent by surprise.The opponent's central defender turns slowly. In this regard, you have to use William Jose's impact.

Pedro, Doca, you have to pass more and try your best to send the ball to William Jose.

If we can't seize the opportunity in the first ten minutes, we will retreat to defend across the board.

Wait for the last 10 minutes, and attack again when the opponent's physical strength is declining and he is not concentrating.

Specifically how to operate.You decide based on the form on the field.Understand? "

The situation on the football field is changing rapidly, and the head coach's tactics can only be arranged roughly, so that the players can understand their main tactical meaning.

It is up to the players to decide how to do it.

Otherwise, it would not be that the salary of the players is higher than that of the coaches.

"Understood!"

After ordering the main tactics, the head coach began to instruct several main defensive players, asking them to keep an eye on the most threatening opponents in the second half.

"Very good! Galareta, you have to keep an eye on Vazquez in the second half. Huelva's offense mainly relies on him to mobilize the organization..."

……

Meanwhile, inside the home team's locker room.

J. Otla also got more detailed information about Zheng Long.

He glanced at Zheng Long's information, then threw it back to the assistant.

J. Otla walked into the locker room, and he saw that the atmosphere in the locker room was a bit dull.

he clapped his hands and shouted. "Come on, it's just a tie. We haven't lost yet. Don't forget, the opponent is one less, and I still have the advantage! I believe the victory must belong to us!"

As soon as the head coach encouraged him, the atmosphere in the locker room immediately improved a lot.

The coach is right!

We didn't lose, and we had the advantage in numbers.

They all raised their heads to look at the head coach.

The head coach saw everyone's expressions, and he knew that his goal had been achieved.

In this game, he is absolutely unwilling to only pursue a draw.

Victory is what he wants.

Now that the other party has one less person, it is the best time.

Huelva's coach J. Otla stood in front of the tactical board and shouted.

"We have the numerical advantage, but the opponents will not give up easily, they will not give us the victory. We need to fight for it ourselves.

In the second half, the opponent may continue to strengthen their defense and strive for a draw.If the opponent puts up an iron bucket formation, it will have a great impact on our offense.

In the second half we needed to take advantage of the width of the pitch.Vazquez and Molina, you should pay attention to both sides and use long passes to mobilize the opponent's defense.

Don't worry, be patient, pass more times, and use the pass to throw the opponent's defense into chaos.Understand? "

The team members shouted in unison: "I understand!"

"Okay!" After the head coach J. Otla ordered the main tactics, he also told his central defender Menose and midfielder Montoro.

"The opponent may play a defensive counterattack and catch us by surprise. In the game, the two of you lag behind. Remember to be alert to the opponent's sudden acceleration of the pace and play a defensive counterattack. Understand?"

Central defender Menose and midfielder Montoro nodded. "clear!"

"Very good, this game, the victory must belong to us!"

Head coach J. Otla held out his palm.

The other players also extended their palms to carry along.

"victory!"

"victory!"

The second half started again, which was different from the hasty start just now.This time Zheng Long is fully active!

Standing in the player tunnel and running towards the court in small steps, Zheng Long clapped his palms to encourage himself secretly.

Keep working hard in the second half!
