On the field, with the passage of time and Everton's continuous offensive wave, the number of Chu Zheng's wonderful performances gradually increased.
I don’t know since when, he has become the most eye-catching player in the game.
On Everton's side, they continued to attack wildly for a short period of time and then slowed down the pace of the game.
Wolfsburg also took the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Chu Zheng already has a complete outline of the strength of the Premier League team.
Very strong!
This strength does not mean that Everton's overall strength is better than Wolfsburg, but it is reflected in the rhythm of the game, physical fitness and confrontation.
Compared with the Bundesliga, the Premier League tests more physical fitness, has a faster pace, and more frequent physical contact, so the pressure of the game is correspondingly greater.
In Bundesliga games, Chu Zheng often found that players would have more time to adjust even if they hold the ball behind their backs.
But it was a dream to adjust calmly in this game. Sometimes Everton players hit the ball before it even reached your feet.
Up to this point in the game, Chu Zheng found that except for De Bruyne, frontcourt attacking players like Alexander-Arnold and Caligiuri were somewhat uncomfortable.
This is the reason why Wolfsburg cannot attack currently, because frequent physical contact makes it difficult for them to keep the ball at their feet during running.
This is not because there is a huge gap in player ability.
It’s not that the Premier League is much better than the Bundesliga, it’s just that the differences in league styles highlight the issue.
Soon after having had enough rest, Everton launched another offensive wave, once again drowning Wolfsburg's somewhat promising offensive attack.
In the 26th minute of the game, Wolfsburg's right corner kick was picked up by Everton goalkeeper Howard with both hands, and Everton launched a quick counterattack.
Chu Zheng immediately rushed out of the penalty area and returned to defense.
Seeing that Naldo had already retreated in advance, he was blocking the middle and slowly forcing Lukaku, who was dribbling the ball, to the right half, so he sprinted back along the left rib channel.
Not long after, Chu Zheng returned to the penalty area, and at this time Lukaku was blocked on the right side of the penalty area by Naldo and Rodriguez.
Naldo and Rodriguez formed a layered defense in tandem.
Gustavo also entered the penalty area from the top of the arc in time and protected in the middle.
But looking at this scene, Chu Zheng always felt a little frightened.
So he slowed down, entered the penalty area from the left rib area, and ran diagonally toward the center.
At this moment, Lukaku, who had been facing away from the right wing, suddenly leaned on Naldo and knocked the ball back into his ribs with the outside of his right foot.
Naldo was not slow in his movements and quickly grabbed McGeady's ribs to follow up.
As a result, he once again suffered a big loss due to his large tonnage and slow movement frequency.
McGeady caught the ball with his right foot and dunked to the left to dodge, then quickly followed up with his left foot and shot with his left foot right between Naldo and Malanda.
At this time, goalkeeper Benaglio was already in front of the near post, and Gustavo was in front of him. The two of them were helpless against McGeady's shot.
Chu Zheng was still moving at this time, and he was already in the middle of the small penalty area.
Seeing the ball suddenly running toward the goal post on his left, Chu Zheng realized that he had run over his head. He immediately leaned forward, supported it with his left leg, threw his right leg back, and then jumped into the air, trying to lift his leg.
Enough for the ball.
Under the gaze of more than 40,000 pairs of eyes at the scene, Chu Zheng, who was leaning his body in the air, stretched out his right foot and accidentally met the ball in mid-air.
Seeing the ball being blocked and flying out of the baseline as it scraped the outside of the post, all the Everton fans acted in surprisingly unison, holding their heads in their hands and staring.
“what the fuck!!!!!!!”
“what the fuck!!!”
“what the fuck!!!!!”
“holy shit!!!”
"Damn!!!"
"..."
In the stands on all sides, countless Everton fans collectively uttered obscenities!
Again!
Another almost inevitable goal against an empty net!!
It’s No. 66’s doorstep rescue again!!!
This made them unable to believe why the ghost of No. 66 in Wolfsburg was still lingering!
This rollercoaster-like thrill made their hearts beat wildly.
On the sidelines, Dieter Heijing was once again impressed by Chu Zheng.
He could feel that Chu Zheng seemed to be particularly active today.
This state can no longer be said to be excellent, it is simply magical and a phenomenal performance!
Dieter Heijing is evaluated by the media as one of the head coaches who likes to use young players the most, but among all the young players he has used, Chu Zheng is really the most special one.
At this moment, he was really grateful to Eddie for discovering Chu Zheng's difference, otherwise he would probably have ignored this guy who had no other characteristics except for his good looks.
Dieter Heijing thought for a moment. If Chu Zheng was not on the court, the current situation would probably be 2-0, and they would definitely not be in the lead.
Thinking back to the four games that Chu Zheng participated in, he suddenly realized that Chu Zheng had blocked many must-goals for the team.
Bayern's, Hoffenheim's, Frankfurt's, and now it's Everton's turn.
This performance left him speechless!
It can be said that the team's current league results are based on Chu Zheng's excellent performance.
Next to him, Martinez was squatting on the ground, his big white teeth almost broken, and his expression was extremely angry.
At this moment, he wanted to drag out the club's intelligence officer and beat him up.
Such an excellent central defender did not record it in detail in the report, but just mentioned it with a simple name. This is an extremely huge mistake and a fatal mistake.
On the end line of the penalty area, McGiddy, who had completed the shot, saw that this kind of ball could still be blocked by Chu Zheng. His knees softened, and he lay down on the lawn like a mollusk with his back whipped, and buried his face.
His hands kept patting the turf, like a three-year-old child who had his toys stolen and rolled around.
McGeady felt very good about this ball and pressed it very well, giving him a feeling that he must score. However, he never thought that he could not avoid No. 66.
Lukaku, who was nearby, raised his head and looked at the sky speechlessly.
At this moment, Lukaku felt a little incredible when he thought about it.
This game didn't feel difficult for him.
Compared with other teams in the Premier League, he even felt that it was relatively easy. The opponent's defense was not airtight, and he actually got a lot of opportunities in the frontcourt.
But the ball just couldn't hit the ball.
This No. 66 is like a ghost everywhere, rejecting their shots time and time again and snatching the ball away from his feet.
In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, He Wei and Zhang Lu were already beaming with joy, with extremely happy smiles on their faces.
"Chu Zheng's sense of crisis and insight were once again reflected in defense this time."
"Wolfsburg's players returned to the penalty area in time. Except for Chu Zheng, everyone was attracted by Lukaku and McGeady. They did not see that the far goal post was actually dangerous!"
"From the slow-motion replay, Chu Zheng ran diagonally toward the center of the small penalty area and twisted his head this way and that. This was obviously a precaution!" Zhang Lu analyzed.
He Wei was a little emotional after hearing this, and said: "Perhaps after this game, Chu Zheng will become famous again in Europe with one goal!"
"Definitely not running away! Nowadays, the scouting systems of major European clubs can be said to be almost everywhere. Chu Zheng must have been in the sight of these people a long time ago."
The fact is just as Zhang Lu analyzed, Chu Zheng was already being targeted as early as his debut in the Bundesliga.
At the top of the east stand at Goodison Park, a middle-aged white man in his early forties wearing black-rimmed glasses was writing and drawing in a notebook on his lap.

The more Johansen wrote in his notebook, the more absurd he felt.
He couldn't understand why such a player club would give it away as a gift.
Judging from the time he has been following Chu Zheng, based on his own summary and opinion, he feels that Chu Zheng has considerable development potential.
If you don't talk about anything else, just talk about speed, this Asian player is definitely second to none.
He felt that the club might have been a little hasty this time!
But there is no way. As the youth training of Chelsea Youth Academy is getting better and better, the team must let go of some talented young players.
Because giant clubs cannot give young players enough time to accumulate game experience, make mistakes and grow.
Young players need to compete and increase their income.
These two points are always irreconcilable contradictions.
He accepted Mourinho's instructions and has been tracking Chu Zheng for nearly two months.
From his point of view, Chu Zheng has shown maturity and stability that belies his age in the central defender position, and is fully qualified.
Every time Johansson watches Chu Zheng play, he will see some shadows of experienced central defenders and a sense of spirituality in Chu Zheng.
Especially his handling of some balls was really amazing.
What he lacks in height, he makes up for with jumping.
If his body is not strong enough, he will not choose to confront the opponent head-on. He will use his own speed to bite the opponent, and then find opportunities to kick from the blind spot. His kick is really smart.
And in today's game, he confirmed that Chu Zheng has amazing talents in two aspects: insight in defense and judgment of defensive timing.
Now Johnson somewhat understands why Mourinho asked him to pay attention to Chu Zheng.
But remembering that Mourinho asked him to focus on observing Chu Zheng's offensive performance when talking to him, he still had some doubts in his heart.
At least until now, he still couldn't see that Chu Zheng had any amazing offensive talent.
As for the field of vision, this also raised a question mark in Johnson's mind.
Judging from the few games he followed Chu Zheng, he personally felt that Chu Zheng's vision in the game's offense was not broad.
From the perspective of the stands, there are actually some gaps that can be found on the court, and it is completely possible to launch a long pass attack directly from the backcourt, but Chu Zheng did not see it, which is very regrettable.
He knew that Mourinho had the idea of buying back Chu Zheng in the winter window and transforming him into a defensive midfielder, but he did not think that Chu Zheng could really adapt to the defensive midfielder position.
Just when Johnson lowered his head to record Chu Zheng's performance, violent exclamations suddenly sounded from the stands.
“holy shit!!!!!!!”
Johansen subconsciously glanced at the court below, and then he jumped up in shock, and the notebook on his lap fell to the ground.
