Stand by the last line of defense

Chapter 47 Back to the starting lineup!

Originally, Zaragoza had almost no chance of winning the Copa del Rey.At least in Ranko Popovich's mind.

So it was a pity to lose the game, but Ranko Popovich could still accept it.

In this way, he can concentrate on dealing with the next league.

But after losing the game, someone needs to bear the responsibility for the loss.

Ranko Popovich explained the reason why he did not send Zheng Long at the press conference, and took the initiative to take responsibility.

"Considering Zheng Long's continuous fighting, I think he should be given a break. After all, he is only 17 years old and his body is still developing.

He still has a long career ahead of him.Don't overuse him.This will bring hidden dangers to his career!

In the next games, I will also choose to let him rest a few games in rotation, so that he has a chance to rest! "

Although Popovich's initial consideration was not Zheng Long's age at all, he took Zheng Long's age as an issue.

Others dare not object at all.

Even if he knew that the other party was lying, he could only admit it by pinching his nose.

Especially the team general manager Valdano.

Playing one more game will increase the team's income a lot.

Lost now.

Valdano can only hope that Popovich can lead the team to success.

otherwise……

Next season, he will no longer appear in Zaragoza's training ground.

"Congratulations, Long!" S. Jill said to Zheng Long in the locker room.

Zheng Long felt very strange: "Congratulations?"

"Algeria did not perform well this time. In the next game, you will be the starting goalkeeper again! With you here, I believe our team will never lose!"

S. Gil said with a smile to Jung Yong.

Hearing this, Zheng Long frowned slightly.

He shook his head: "The team didn't win the game, so it's useless to say anything. I care more about the team's results now!"

Zheng Long will not be happy about getting the chance to start now!
It is gratifying to start the game, but the excellent performance in the first 4 games has made Zheng Long more confident now.

He believes that with these outstanding performances, even if Zaragoza does not give him a chance to start, other clubs are willing to buy him and give him a chance.

After the position stabilized, Zheng Long thought more about trophies.

The West Second Championship is what I want, but the only cup in Spain is also what Zheng Long wants!
Even this may be the only chance to play against the Spanish giants this season.

but……

Why!It doesn't make sense to say anything now!
All I can do is to continue to perform well in the next games.Help the team win the La Liga championship and be promoted to La Liga!

Wanting to understand this, Zheng Long calmed down and continued to train, waiting for the next round of competition!
After losing the Copa del Rey, Popovich focused his energy on the La Liga.

The most important thing at present is to punch armor.

As long as you can successfully punch the armor, then everything is successful.

The general manager of the team will never have any doubts!
On the contrary, if the punch armor is unsuccessful.Ranko Popovich knew what was in store for him.

Now Zaragoza has 3 wins and 1 draw since the start of the game, with 10 points, ranking first in the league.

This momentum is very good.

The next opponent is Alaves, this team has a good attack power.

Their own backcourt players are really worrying.

Perhaps more players in the midfield should be added to protect the backcourt.

The league is still very long, with a total of 42 rounds to play.

The team that makes no mistakes wins the final victory.

Our team has Zheng Long, a goalkeeper who is comparable to a top goalkeeper. As long as we strengthen our defense, we will be invincible.

This time the head coach Popovich was completely disappointed with P. Alcolia.

He put Zheng Long back into the starting lineup and put him in charge of the team's gate.

Hearing that Zheng Long was back as the main goalkeeper, Zaragoza's players were relieved.

With Zheng Long, the team's defense is guaranteed.

"La Romareda Stadium, this is Zaragoza's home court. Today it will face Alaves. Zaragoza started this season quite eye-catchingly, achieving an unbeaten record of 3 wins and [-] tie!"

"Zaragoza's outstanding performance this season is due to the Chinese goalkeeper Zheng Long signed by the team this summer. It is precisely because of his outstanding performance that he has kept 4 clean sheets and kept Zaragoza unbeaten!"

"Everyone, I have now got the starting list for Zaragoza. Zheng Long will continue to start. In fact, this is not surprising. If I were the head coach, I would definitely not be surprised to see such outstanding players under me. Will be wasted on the bench!"

There were bursts of cheers from the La Romeda stadium, looking at the fans wearing their own jerseys and waving flags.

Zheng Long couldn't help but be filled with joy and joy.

"dragon!"

"dragon!"

"Interceptor!"

"Interceptor!"

As the referee's whistle sounded, Zaragoza's No. 10 player William Jose, who got the kick-off, passed the ball to No. 9 Borja Baston.

On September 9, in the fifth round, Zaragoza's match against Alaves at home officially began.

After a tentative first seven or eight minutes, Alaves launched an offensive.

No. 8 Todi made a pass from the outside instep and passed the ball over the top.

It's just that the pass was too close to the goal!

Zheng Long took the ball off easily.

The narrator shouted immediately. "Zheng Long picked up the ball, and to be honest, such a weak pass was actually sending the ball to Zheng Long.

Although I am sorry Zaragoza fans.But I'm a little curious, who can conquer the gate held by Zheng Long.Can the players of the Alaves team break through Zheng Long's gate today? "

Before he finished speaking, Houli sent the ball to Velez with a through ball.

Velez shot without any hesitation.

The speed of the ball was very fast, but Zheng Long reacted faster, and with a leap, he hit the ball out of the baseline.

"Corner!"

"Ah! It's an interceptor. Sure enough, he wants to intercept all incoming balls and prevent any ball from flying into the goal!"

"Zheng Long is definitely the most stable person in Zaragoza. This season Zaragoza can remain unbeaten this season. Zheng Long owes a lot to him!"

"His reaction speed and solid saves have helped the team many times!"

Hu Li ran to the corner to take a corner kick, but it was Zheng Long who took the first step and took the ball off.

"Nice attack!"

"Zheng Long once again resolved the crisis in Zaragoza. Let the opponent return without success!"

Zheng Long ran to the other side and threw the ball to the unmarked Fernandez.

Zaragoza fought back.
