Midfielder Ruler

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

2008 was a very difficult year for Chinese football, so after the national team, the National Olympic team and the National Youth Team fell into the sand one after another, the fans naturally focused on the National Youth Team. With Tang Zheng, the No. 1 star in this year's Asian Youth Championship, winning the top four shouldn't be a problem.

If you are lucky enough, winning the championship is not a problem.

However, yesterday afternoon, some media exposed the serious conflict in the Chinese National Youth Team. Tang Zheng, who was repeatedly kicked by Pu Cheng, got up and sent Pu Cheng to the hospital.

This not only seriously affected the national youth team's preparations, but also caused the players to be divided into two factions because of this incident.

Although Pu Cheng's behavior was very disgraceful, Tang Zheng's reaction was too violent, and he would strike at the slightest disagreement.

So now the head coach Liu Chunming and the team leader Zhu Heyuan are arguing fiercely. Liu Chunming believes that Tang Zheng should be fired to correct the unhealthy trend in the team. The team leader Zhu Heyuan thinks that this matter is entirely Pu Cheng's own fault. Tang Zheng's reaction is in line with the normal reaction. Only a warning within the team is required.

At the same time, there was a huge stir in China.

The fans were divided into two factions, one side believed that Tang Zheng was justifiable, because the fuse of the incident was Pu Cheng's continuous black feet.

The other side thinks that Tang Zheng beat his teammates with arrogance and arrogance, so he should set an example to others.

Sitting in the office, Xie Yalong and Yang Yiming were equally conflicted. Tang Zheng was considered by them to be the last straw to save their political careers, but now Tang Zheng caused discord in the national youth team preparing for the Asian Youth Championship in Saudi Arabia.

Is it justifiable, or is it an example to others?

In the end, they decided to relax for the time being. After all, there are only a few days before the start of the Asian Youth Championship. If they adjust the roster at this time, the impact on the team will be even greater.

The higher-ups have made a decision, so Liu Chunming, as a coach, naturally has nothing to say, otherwise his position will be replaced by someone else.

These days, to be the head coach of a national team, what you should have the most is not coaching ability, nor the ability to change on the spot, but obedience.

At the level of the national youth team, although some players were dissatisfied with Tang Zheng, they thought Tang Zheng was playing big.

But there are also some sensible people who can see Pu Cheng's intention to invade Tang Zheng,

That's a shovel with bright spikes...

Zhang Linpeng and Cao Yunding were a little upset that Tang Zheng was still in the National Youth Team, because Tang Zheng's presence would seriously affect their performance.

Zhang Linpeng, who works as a defensive midfielder, is good at attacking and defending. He has a precise long pass to transfer the ball, which overlaps with Tang Zheng's role, but his direct attack ability is not as good as Tang Zheng. Therefore, according to the arrangement of the head coach Liu Chunming, Zhang Linpeng is the one who plays purely. As a defensive midfielder, Tang Zheng plays the central midfielder and Cao Yunding plays the midfielder.

And the core of the team is not Zhang Linpeng, nor Cao Yunding, but... Tang Zheng.

※※※

In the previous few training camps, the core of the National Youth Team has always been Zhang Linpeng and Cao Yunding. Now that Tang Zheng has become the core after returning to the team, some players are not used to it.

This situation continued until the official start of the Asian Youth Championship, but the head coach Liu Chunming was not worried about the team's qualifying, after all, the level of the group opponents was placed there.

Tajikistan, Lebanon, North Korea.

In addition to North Korea's ability and hard work, Tajikistan is recognized as a boy who gives points. Lebanon's youth training has stagnated because of the war. It can't be weaker than the Chinese National Youth Team, right?

Judging from the schedule, the Chinese national youth team has a great advantage. They first played against Tajikistan, the boy who sent points, then Lebanon, and finally North Korea.

If nothing else, the Chinese National Youth Team will qualify with the North Korean team.

Therefore, the head coach Liu Chunming believes that the three games in the group can be used to cultivate the tacit understanding of the players. If it is really not possible, the team's usual team will be sent out at that time.

During these few days of preparing for the Asian Youth Championship, Tang Zheng has also been paying attention to the dynamic situation of the riverbed.

River Plate failed to win against the newly promoted Jujuy Gymnastics and Newell's Old Boys respectively. The ranking dropped to third place in the league with 12 games, six wins, six draws and 24 points.

If you are not careful, you will be very likely to be overtaken by Boca Juniors behind you.

At the top of the list is San Lorenzo, a team from the capital Buenos Aires, which is surprising.

With the passage of time, the Chinese media and fans have turned their attention from the conflict within the team to the next Asian Youth Championship. The Chinese National Youth Team will usher in their first opponent at the Prince Mohammed Ben Fahad Stadium in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. --Tajikistan youth team.

Prior to this, Yang Yiming, vice chairman of the Football Association who supervised the battle, came to the locker room of the Chinese National Youth Team to convey correct ideas to the coaches and players.

Anyway, Tang Zheng listened in a cloud of fog, only heard the last eight words: play with style, match with level.

By the way... Does Chinese football have a style?

Of course, Tang Zheng could only feel dark in his heart.

※※※

"Damn it, the strength and awareness of the domestic teammates are really poor!"

Through training, Tang Zheng had already basically understood the true abilities of his teammates. He knew that Zheng Zheng, the left back, was very fast, so he passed a long pass with an early lead, but...the opponent didn't run.

Later, he made a short pass to Cao Yunding, but Cao Yunding stopped the ball three meters away under the interference of the opponent.

It was fine during training, but how did it become like this in the competition?

What made Tang Zheng speechless was that he was standing five meters away, and his teammate Hui Jiakang would actually pass the ball to the opposing player...

So Tang Zheng complained: "Brother, can you pass it on more accurately?"

Hui Jiakang's attitude of admitting his mistake was good, but he didn't pass the ball to Tang Zheng at all in the next game.

As the game time passed, except for high center Tan Yang, center back Yu Yang and right back Wu Xi who would pass the ball to Tang Zheng, the other players ignored him directly.

This situation also prevented the Chinese National Youth Team from launching their offense smoothly. It was not until the 20th minute of the game that they relied on an own goal from the opponent to break the deadlock.

With the first goal, the second and third goals are not far away.

When the first half ended, the score was 6:0, and the Chinese National Youth Team took the lead.

But except for the third goal, Tang Zheng directly assisted Tan Yang to score with a long pass, the other five goals had nothing to do with him.

So from the eyes of Duan Xuan, the commentator on the spot, Tang Zheng seemed to be outside the tactical system of the Chinese National Youth Team.

However, head coach Liu Chunming knew that this situation was not caused by Tang Zheng not being suitable for this tactical system, but that most of the starting players rejected Tang Zheng.

Zhang Linpeng and Cao Yunding, who were midfield partners, did not pass the ball to Tang Zheng more than five times in the entire forty-five minutes.

If it weren't for Tang Zheng's pass that directly assisted Tan Yang to score, the score would probably be the lowest in the team.

※※※

Two days later, at the Prince Mohammad Ben Fahad Stadium, the Chinese National Youth Team ushered in the second opponent of the group - the Lebanese National Youth Team.

Compared with Tajikistan, the boy who sent points, Lebanon is stronger. Their body is not weaker than the Chinese National Youth Team, and they are even ahead of the National Youth Team in fighting, so the score at the end of the half is still 0:0

Throughout the first half, Tang Zheng played very depressed.

It's fine if many teammates don't pass the ball to him. Every time the football he worked so hard to steal is passed out, it will always be squandered by his teammates.

If I knew this, I might as well control the ball and move forward, at least not to lose the ball frequently.

In the second half, Tang Zheng consciously started long-range shooting, but his long-range shooting skills were not strong, so he directly fired the anti-aircraft gun.

Two minutes later, Tang Zheng's long-range shot accidentally hit the opponent's lower back leg and caused refraction. High center forward Tan Yang headed the ball to his partner Zhang Yuan while running, and the latter broke the deadlock with an angry shot. .

Although the goal came from Tang Zheng's long-range shot, he was dissatisfied by the captain Zhang Linpeng: "Tang Zheng, can you pass the ball? Everyone is waiting by the side."

Tang Zheng also realized that he was a bit independent during the beginning of the second half, so he didn't refute, and waved his hand, accepting Zhang Linpeng's criticism.

But what Zhang Linpeng understood was another meaning - he thought Tang Zheng ignored him.

In the 65th minute, Tang Zheng received Tan Yang's football at 30 meters from the attacking area. He looked left and right. His teammates were all standing still, and there was no angle or space for passing the ball. return.

But after thinking about it, domestic players don't like to run when they play football. They like to stand in place and wait for the ball.

Tang Zheng was very well prepared this time, his right foot tiptoed downwards, and the instep hit the slightly lower part of the football firmly.

The Lebanese youth team was half a beat too late to block, and the football whizzed past his thigh and flew towards the goal.

The goalkeeper extended his right arm to hold the ball with one palm in the process of retreating hastily, but did not touch the football.

"Boom!"

The football running at high speed hit the goal crossbar, bounced back into the field, and was cleared out of the baseline by the defender who reacted in time.

Zhang Linpeng finally found an opportunity to scold Tang Zheng directly, and said loudly with a dark face, "Didn't I tell you? Pass the ball more! Understand?"

Tang Zheng didn't bother to pay attention to Zhang Linpeng who was trying to find fault in every possible way. He rushed into the penalty area without even looking at the opponent. He was still thinking about how to help the team open the scoring.

"Did you hear that?" Seeing Tang Zheng ignoring him, Zhang Linpeng felt that his face was damaged, so he directly grabbed Tang Zheng's arm: "Don't think that playing football abroad is awesome..."

Before Zhang Linpeng finished his sentence, Tang Zheng flung his arm and broke free, turned his head and glared at Zhang Linpeng: "The position is so dead, how do you pass it on? Pass it on to the other party? Do you have any brains? Has your IQ been eaten by a dog?"

Tan Yang, who was standing in the restricted area, reacted quickly, he put his arm around Tang Zheng's shoulder and pulled it aside: "Stop arguing, ah, that's the character."

Tang Zheng was too lazy to argue with Zhang Linpeng, nodded, and prepared for the next corner kick fight.

The footage captured by the on-site director was very sneaky, and it was played during the time period when the Chinese National Youth Team was preparing to take a corner kick.

Central 5 commentator Duan Xuan frowned: "From the camera, it seems that captain Zhang Linpeng had an argument with Tang Zheng..."
