As the game progressed, Chu Zheng had more and more opportunities to perform defensively.
This made Dieter Heijing feel more and more delighted as he watched.
Now he somewhat agrees with what his assistant Eddie said.
Maybe this little guy is not considered a genius in the Chelsea youth academy where there are so many talents.
But in Germany, in their Wolfsburg team, this is a very talented defender.
In modern football, tactics are becoming more and more complex, and defender is a position that requires great experience.
However, through the previous 20 minutes of the game, Dieter Heijing saw a young center back who is mature and stable in defense.
Maturity, stability and youth are contradictory in themselves, but Dieter Heijing really didn't see in Chu Zheng the slightest bit of impatience that a young player should have.
But as the game progressed, Chu Zheng's true colors were quickly revealed.
On the left center line of the center circle, he received a transfer ball from Naldo. Chu Zheng looked up and found that the red team's defensive focus was tilted toward him.
Chu Zheng saw De Bruyne on the right appearing on the wing, with no one following him for the time being, so Chu Zheng, who was fully engaged, raised his foot and passed without thinking.
"Oops!"
As soon as the ball was passed long, Chu Zheng secretly thought something was wrong, because he had exerted too much strength and seemed to not be able to hit the ball completely.
"watt!!!"
On the right side of the frontcourt, De Bruyne saw the ball coming, and he was immediately stunned.
De Bruyne made a rough estimate. He felt that if he was 3.6 meters tall and stretched his neck ten inches, then he... would still not be able to reach the ball!
Watching the ball fly out of the sideline and bounce off the iron net, De Bruyne looked back in confusion, then gave a thumbs up to Chu Zheng and shouted loudly: "Hey! Chu, your pass is really accurate, but
Sorry, I'm not hanging on the wire!"
Suddenly, all the players on the court who could understand English were amused by De Bruyne's words.
Chu Zheng rolled his eyes, not feeling ashamed at all, but grinning happily.
At the Chelsea Youth Academy, there are three stages of youth training.
The third stage is between the ages of 16 and 18. At this stage, most players have determined the positions they are good at and have turned to special training. Those young players whose skills have still not improved will be returned at this age.
Although Chu Zheng has not been returned, he is also defined as a defensive center back.
So in the two years from 16 to 18 years old, he has been learning defensive knowledge and skills.
In addition, he still had school work to finish, so before he knew it, his passes fell behind, and he became like this now.
In fact, he can see many, many gaps every time he plays, and he knows exactly what will happen as long as he sends the ball to these gaps.
But the real situation is:
Brain: "I understand! Simple! What a big deal! Why don't you just send the ball over!"
Feet: "Climb for me! You know 6!!"
At first, he passed the ball when he saw the gaps, but later he was scolded a lot, and his teammates had a lot of objections to his frequent waste of the ball. In order to avoid being isolated by his friends, he had to turn a blind eye to these gaps and do his job well.
Work.
On the sidelines, Dieter Heijing couldn't laugh or cry when he saw Chu Zheng's poor long pass.
"Eddie, I know why Chu was sold by Chelsea!" Dieter Heijing said happily.
"It's indeed a bit bad. The strength is not well controlled, and the position of eating the ball is also wrong." Eddie shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
"He lives with Kevin?"
"Yes!"
"Maybe we can ask Kevin to help Chu!" Dieter Heijing suggested.
"What a great idea!" Eddie's eyes lit up, "Kevin is the best passing player on our team, maybe he can help!"
Just as the two turned to talk, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
With De Bruyne aggressively attacking in the frontcourt, the Green Team's defense also had to move forward to maintain support and contact with the center and frontcourt.
Seeing De Bruyne successfully linking up the frontcourt attacking group while running wantonly, and forcing the red team's formation to rub inside and outside the offensive third zone, Chu Zheng was filled with excitement. Sometimes he really envied his friend's superhuman ability in offense.
talent.
Outside the penalty area of the red team, De Bruyne cruised to the top of the arc and passed the ball from the wing but was cleared. When he saw the ball bouncing towards him, he immediately faced it and raised his left foot to volley.
With a muffled sound of "Bang!", the ball bounced off the thigh of the red team's center back Knoch, and landed in the center outside the offensive third.
Perisic found an opportunity to counterattack, took the ball, turned around and rushed forward.
This guy is very smart. When he saw Naldo and Chu Zheng, who were on the left and right of the center circle, he chose the 198cm, 91kg Naldo side.
Although Perisic is tall and powerful, his speed is not weaker than those of those fast forwards.
Faced with this continuous acceleration, Naldo didn't even have a chance to foul, and Perisic used his speed to wipe it away.
In just a few seconds, Perisic entered the green team's penalty area from the left rib.
Seeing the appearance of the single sword, the two defensive midfielders of the green team, Gustavo and Malanda, stopped on the field, and both of them looked at Chu Zheng with hopeful eyes.
Dieter Heijing and Eddie on the sidelines were also stimulated by Perisic's solo breakthrough. They were staring closely at Perisic, waiting for the goal to appear.
However, at this moment, a green figure suddenly broke into their sight, making the two guys look stunned.
Perisic burst into the penalty area and faced goalkeeper Max Glenn.
He didn't give Glenn a chance to get close, and he flexibly changed direction laterally to avoid Glenn's attack.
The next second, just when Perisic was about to raise his foot to push the empty goal, Chu Zheng rushed in, quickly fell to the ground in the blind area behind the right side, and accurately scooped the ball out of the baseline.
“Holy shit!!!”
"Wow!!"
“Holy cow!!!!!!”
“Is so cool!!!!!!!!”
"..."
Almost everyone on the court looked stunned. They couldn't believe that Chu Zheng actually got back in time and destroyed Perisic's one-on-one goal.
In front of the goal, goalkeeper Glenn got up, roared in excitement, then rushed to Chu Zheng with his arms raised, gave Chu Zheng a warm hug, and shouted in German: "Man, you are great!
"
At this moment, Max felt like he was escaping from a catastrophe in a real match.
He was really excited.
Perisic sat on his knees on the grass, raising one hand high and covering his mouth with the other. His expression looked particularly surprised, as if he hadn't reacted yet and was a bit stunned.
"Perfect return to defense!" On the sidelines, Dieter Heijing looked shocked and turned to look at Eddie, who looked excited next to him. "Man, Chu is indeed a genius!"
In the eyes of Dieter Heijing, Chu Zheng's ball not only showed his unparalleled pursuit speed, but most importantly, he also saw Chu Zheng's prediction of danger, choice of position, and precise control of the timing of the kick.
.
Just now, when Perisic rushed up, he saw Chu Zheng starting up at almost the same time, and then chasing diagonally towards the middle. This obviously predicted Perisic's next choice, and he also knew that Narr
Most of them will be passed.
The smartest thing is that Chu Zheng chose to destroy the ball. Instead of fighting Perisic, who was tall, strong, fast, and rushed like a tank, he kicked from the blind area behind the side to let him defend this time.
Full of wisdom.
Dieter Heijing silently watched Chu Zheng as he was being patted on the head by his teammates to congratulate him, his eyes filled with brilliance.
"Eddie, do you think Chu's defensive style is very similar to that of a player?"
"Who?" Eddie was a little confused when he heard Dieter Heijing's sudden question.
"Fabio Cannavaro!" Dieter Heijing asked himself the next second.
After being reminded like this, Eddie felt that the technical characteristics of Chu Zheng and Cannavaro were quite similar.
Cannavaro is 175cm tall and is far from the standard as a central defender, but he relied on his excellent speed, amazing jumping, and excellent defensive awareness to become the first defensive player in today's football to win the World Footballer of the Year.
But everything has pros and cons. Cannavaro's technical characteristics made him successful, and also caused his embarrassment in the later part of his career.
As players with this kind of technical characteristics age, their competitive status will plummet, and they will be in a dilemma where they are aware of the situation but cannot catch up with their bodies or feet.
In addition, this type of defender does not have the advantages of height and body, so Cannavaro looks a bit poor on the defensive end as he gets older.
As for Chu Zheng, in addition to his poor ball shooting skills, he also has top speed, amazing jumping, and a smart head.
The most important thing is that he is 1.8cm tall and can be a little longer. Even if his body cannot be trained into a powerful defender, his explosive power will make up for it, so he will definitely not suffer too much.
So judging from the current technical characteristics of Chu Zheng, Eddie suddenly discovered that Chu Zheng possessed the characteristics of Cannavaro, but abandoned the shortcomings.
Thinking of this, Eddie thought about it carefully. His intuition told him that Wolfsburg might have to produce a first-rate or top-notch central defender.
Of course, this conclusion is only evaluated based on Chu Zheng's current performance. The biggest characteristic of young players is instability.
Whether Chu Zheng can maintain this excellent competitive state is still unclear.
Next, Dieter Heijing and Eddie squatted on the sidelines to watch the game.
But as the game progressed, more and more of Chu Zheng's weaknesses were exposed.
In addition to his somewhat poor ball play, Chu Zheng's ability to control the ball at his feet is also somewhat poor.
Perhaps a central defender does not need excellent dribbling skills, but the ball must be controlled, otherwise it will be the beginning of a disaster.
When the first half of the 60-minute match ended, Chu Zheng was so tired that he stuck out his tongue.
This physical ability made Dieter Heijing and Eddie frown again.
But fortunately for these two people, Chu Zheng did not have a fatal flaw.
What he lacks in physical strength, he can make up for with his clever brain.
Although he lacks strength, he has strong instantaneous explosive power to withstand collisions in the game.
And that bad shot was also hidden by Chu Zheng's conservative defense.
And all these shortcomings can be improved the day after tomorrow.
Not long after, Dieter Heijing stood up, patted his butt, and left in a happy mood.
