Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 114: The New Season of Intense Competition

Remember【】in a second, providing you with wonderful novels to read.

Happiness came so suddenly that Musacchio was a little dazed. It wasn't until the first-team coach Simeone left the youth team training ground that he realized that he turned around and asked Tang Zheng next to him: "Just now the first-team coach told me what?"

Tang Zheng smiled, pointed at Simeone's back with his left hand, and then patted Musacchio's shoulder twice with his right hand: "He said that you will go to the first team with me when the preseason preparations for the first team start. report."

"Oh-My-God!!" Musacchio clenched his fists and shouted, "I, T·M·D, finally entered the first team!!"

At the same time, Hornas and Gustavo Fernandez quietly distanced themselves from Musacchio in a tacit understanding...

The same was true for Tang Zheng, he silently withdrew his right hand, approached Jonas and Gustavo Fernandez, and looked at Musacchio with disgust.

Three words can be seen from their eyes: good for nothing!

But in fact, this is not the case in the hearts of Jonas and Gustavo Fernandez. They are very envious of Musacchio being able to get the affection of the head coach of the first team. Hey...

Of course, there are not a few River Plate youth team players who are envious.

As the saying goes, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a youth player who does not want to enter the first team is not a good youth player.

In April of this year, Tang Zheng entered the first team, and then took advantage of the extensive injuries in the midfield to establish the main position in one fell swoop. Now it is the turn of the central defender Musacchio.

Hey……

Another sigh.

Many of them don't even know when they will be able to enter the first team.

Igabi Fabianni's eyes are vicious, and he can easily guess the thoughts of the players, so he clapped his hands vigorously.

When the team members focused their attention, he pointed in the direction of Tang Zheng and Musacchio and said, "Boys! Did you see that? Tang and Matteo Musacchio are your study subjects. They passed My unremitting efforts have finally entered the eyes of the head coach of the first team, and you are the same, work hard! Boys!!"

In many cases, don't talk too much, just get to the point.

to be honest,

The egos of Jonas and Gustavo Fernandez have been hit somewhat.

They think that they are no worse than Musacchio in training, but why don't they have a chance to enter the first team?

Tang Zheng turned his head and glanced at the three of them. Musacchio ignored them directly. He found that the emotions of Jonas and Gustavo Fernandez were not right, so he patted the shoulders of the two of them respectively, and said, "Actually, you guys Don’t feel discouraged. Although Mateo is not very reliable at ordinary times, his professional skills are still very good. Now the first team has enough reserve players in the midfielder position and on the front line, so you have a chance to enter the first team. It's a little slim, but it doesn't mean it's impossible, maybe one day the first team will suffer another massive injury?"

If Simeone heard Tang Zheng's words at this time, he would probably vomit three liters of blood—who in this world would curse his team for extensive injuries?

Except for marginal players who have no chance to play...

However, Tang Zheng's words still have a certain effect on Hornas and Gustavo Fernandez. For me, working hard is the right way to get to the first team.

Start today, work hard, work hard and work hard!

Jonas and Gustavo Fernandez secretly swear.

Simeone, who devoted himself to work on the first day, didn't pay attention to the time. If it wasn't for his wife Carolina's phone call to remind him, he would probably have to work until night.

When he closed the office door, he nodded slightly and glanced at the Rolex watch on his left wrist. The time was just at six o'clock in the afternoon.

This time point is already very late for the Argentine winter time, the sun is setting, and night is quietly approaching.

But in the training field of the youth team, there were still four figures insisting on extra training under the lights.

Tang Zheng and Musacchio are defensive players, while Jonas and Gustavo Fernandez are attacking players. It just so happens that the positions for extra training do not overlap. As long as you devote 100% of your attention, you can achieve the effect of extra training.

Simeone, who stood under the streetlight, watched for a while, and he didn't go to the parking lot until his wife Carolina's phone urged him again.

Tang Zheng's extra training with Musacchio, Jonas and Gustavo Fernandez continued until mid-July, which was the pre-season preparation period for River Plate's first team.

Before Musacchio followed Tang Zheng to report to the first team, he came to the youth team to bid farewell to his teammates: "Brothers, I'm going to the first team, and I may never come back again! Take care!!"

Tang Zheng, who was standing on the side, scolded with a smile: "It's like a farewell, don't worry, you will come back again."

"Get off!" Musazio turned his head and said loudly, "I want to make a lot of money and pick up the most beautiful girl!"

Then, under the envious eyes of his teammates, Musacchio followed Tang Zheng to the training ground of the first team.

Coming to the training ground of the first team, Tang Zheng saw teammates who had been away for a long time, but most of them were much stronger than at the end of the season.

At this time, Sanchez and Falcao walked over from the direction of the locker room respectively, and Tang Zheng led Musacchio over.

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

Tang Zheng warmly embraced Sanchez and Falcao respectively.

Of course, he did not forget to introduce the 'little brother' Musacchio, pointing to Musacchio who is next to Jiwotou and said: "This is my 'little brother' in the youth team, Matteo Musacchio, hand-picked by the head He's in the first team."

Musacchio wasn't very happy when he heard Tang Zheng introduce him as a 'little brother', but what he said later was acceptable and level.

So he hurriedly bowed halfway to the big brother in the team, very respectful: "Hello, hello, just call me Mateo."

Sanchez and Falcao patted Musacchio on the shoulder respectively, and nodded, as a recognition of this new teammate.

In addition to the left forwards Sebastian Abreu and Turio Ejmadi, the midfielder Gadoso and the goalkeeper Juan Carrizo who returned to Inter Milan on loan, the first team also followed the Argentine Olympic team to prepare for the game BJ Olympic's Bonannot, and other players all came to the first team training ground.

According to the usual practice, the players performed simple recovery training under the leadership of fitness coach Enzo and assistant coach Jorge Gortillo, and then tested various basic physical data.

After falling for more than a month, many players showed signs of gaining weight, especially Augusto Fernandez and Alcubi who returned from serious injuries. They had to lose weight through rigorous training.

Fortunately, Tang Zheng returned to the team ahead of time, and after training in the youth team for about three weeks, his physical condition remained very good, and his test data was outstanding in the team.

Head coach Simeone is very satisfied with Tang Zheng's physical condition.

So while the other team members were still undergoing strenuous physical training, Tang Zheng and Musacchio were called aside by Simeone.

"Don, Mateo, I called you aside to make the most appropriate use of your time." Simeone looked at Tang Zheng and Musazio with a serious face, and said seriously: "You two Practice with the ball."

Both Tang Zheng and Musacchio are working hard, because the original team's main players will come back one after another, and the competition in the new season will definitely be very fierce. Tang Zheng is a little worried that his main position will not be guaranteed...

He has been going smoothly since the youth team, but he doesn't want to waste his youth on the bench.

Perhaps a huge reserve is a good thing for the head coach, but it is not for young players who are eager to play more games. They must face more intense competition in order to win a stable playing time.

Although Tang Zheng performed well in the autumn league, the head coach Simeone must take into account the feelings of the star players. It cannot be said that because of Tang Zheng's outstanding performance in the autumn league, he has always occupied the main position. Players look for the feeling of the game and see their recovery.

If their recovery is not ideal, then Simeone can logically help Tang Zheng.

After a week of intensive physical training, the players lost their belly and gradually returned to their best physical condition.

Before the start of the new season, Simeone arranged three warm-up matches for the team, namely Sarsfield in the Arab League, University of La Plata, and Sao Paulo, who won the Brazilian Championship for two consecutive seasons.

These three games are also the games where Simeone established the main framework and main substitute for the final new season.

But before that, the first thing to do is the intra-team group competition.

Because for the time being, only by fighting in groups can we see how the players are competing.

Only players with excellent competitive status can be placed in the final starting list.

Professional football is not only about strength, but more importantly, the maintenance of competitive status.

At present, the most important thing for coach Simeone is not the team's performance, but the combination of fixed personnel at the beginning of the season.

The first team is basically equipped with 23 players. Once this number is exceeded, players will be wasted, thus increasing the team's financial burden.

So Simeone has to determine the ideal team roster of 23 to 25 people in the three warm-up matches.

In the intra-team match, the main lineup from last season was the team, and Tang Zheng's partner Poncio was still in the midfielder position. Due to the face of captain Ortega, he wore the yellow vest that symbolized the main force.

The main team played in a four-three-three formation, as did the substitutes.

Judging from the first training session, the state of most players still needs to be improved, among which Tang Zheng is in the best state.

If nothing else happens, Tang Zheng will be the starting player for the first warm-up match of the new season, and he is also very likely to enter River Plate's roster for the spring league in the new season.
