Stand by the last line of defense

Chapter 31
The next game will be the real test for Zheng Long!

With an uneasy mood, Zheng Long continued to train.

When the training officially started, Zheng Long was called to the tactical board by the assistant coach Nekens alone to give pointers to the team's main tactics.

At the same time, what Zheng Long needs to do in the game.

For example, when an offside foul is committed, Zheng Long's position needs to be a little earlier.

Once the offside is unsuccessful, what Zheng Long needs to do is to rush forward to block or retreat.

At that time, how will he cooperate with his teammates.

When defending, it is necessary to remind teammates of their positions to avoid gaps.

These all need to be explained one by one.

Also, when the team plays defensive counterattack.It's a question of who to pass the ball to.

Compared with midfielders, the tactics about goalkeepers are the simplest.

But to understand everything in a short time, Zheng Long still feels very strenuous after a day.

But Zheng Long didn't have any complaints.

The head coach's willingness to let himself, who is only 17 years old, continue to start is already considered a favor.

If you continue to complain in a long way, you will be committing suicide.

What Zheng Long can do now is to understand the tactics thoroughly as soon as possible, maintain a good state, improve his own strength, and let the head coach give himself more opportunities.

Every time he trains, Zheng Long will take it seriously with an extremely positive attitude.

Zheng Long is very clear that he wants to become the starting goalkeeper, participate in the top league, and become a world-class star.

West Second Division will definitely not be my end!

Since keeping the goal against Li, the Zaragoza fans have recognized Zheng Long and truly regarded him as a member of the team.

During training, some fans who came to the team base would shout Zheng Long's nickname.

"Dragon, come on!"

On August 8, Zaragoza's official website announced the squad for the next match as usual.

No. 42 Zheng Long's name suddenly appeared on this list.

When the reporters got the list, they were not surprised.

Zheng Long performed well in the last game and helped Zaragoza beat Huelva.

Now that their main goalkeeper Algeria is suspended again, it is completely normal for Zheng Long to enter the squad.

But will he serve as the starter?
Many local reporters in Zaragoza have asked the head coach Popovich this question.

But Popovich refused to answer on tactical grounds.

The days passed, and Zaragoza will play Osasuna at home on August 08.

In the locker room, Popovich read while holding the starting roster.

"This game starts..."

Hearing the coach's announcement of the starting lineup, Zheng Long's eyes lit up.

He looked at the head coach!

It should be me!
It doesn't make sense it's not me!
When the goalkeeper was read, the head coach paused, but decided to continue reading. "Zheng Long!"

Hearing what the head coach said, everyone turned to look at Zheng Long.

They have long believed in their hearts that the head coach will let Zheng Long start this game, but when it really arrived, it still surprised everyone.

Although he had expected that he would start this game, Zheng Long was really relieved when the head coach admitted it himself.

YES!

Started by myself.

Unexpectedly, I started the game not long after I first came to Spain.

Very good!
Now the starter is your own, and no one can take it away in the future.

When it was announced that Zheng Long was starting, Oscar's eyes were full of disappointment.

Oscar looked at Zheng Long enviously and clenched his fists.

Zheng Long has already been favored by the head coach.

Damn, why didn't I make a sound at that time.

If I had spoken out, the head coach at the time would have sent himself on the field.

Now the first person to play is himself.

I'm so sorry!

Oscar felt that his desire to start the game was getting further and further away from him.

Some things, once lost, may be lost forever.

So when an opportunity arises, don't hesitate, seize it decisively, and hold it firmly.This will not let myself spend the day in regret.

After the head coach Popovich announced the starting list, Popovich is hurrying up to make the final tactical arrangements for the players.

"Our opponent in this game is Osasuna. They advocate defense and must choose defensive counterattack tactics. In this game, we must strengthen our offense, but we must pay attention to the opponent's counterattack.

The three of you, Vallejo, Rico, and Garareta, must cooperate well, and don't lose your position easily and let the opponent sneak attack.understand? "

Vallejo, Rico, and Gararetta nodded and said. "I see. Sir!"

"Long, this game. You have to concentrate the whole time and pay attention to cooperating with the defenders. Do you understand?"

"I understand. Sir!"

"Very good! One, two, three..." Head coach Popovich raised his hand and shouted. "come on!"

"come on!"

Everyone wants to be in armor, which means glory, higher exposure, and higher salary at the same time!
In order to achieve this goal, we must start to grab points from now on.Only the top two are eligible to directly enter La Liga, and the 3rd to 6th place need to play a play-off to determine the final place.

There are too many variables in this.

For Zaragoza, the top two are the most important.Every game is crucial and there is no room for loss.

After encouraging each other, the Zaragoza players filed out and walked towards the player tunnel.

While waiting in line to play, the Osasuna players couldn't help but look at Zheng Long, the most eye-catching Chinese.

It was this guy who kept a clean sheet in the last game and helped Zaragoza win.

Osasuna's two forwards, No. 29 K. Cordero and No. 35 Miguel Olavide, looked at Zheng Long.

In this game, we must conquer the city guarded by the opponent and help the team win.

As the players stepped onto the court, the camera turned a close-up shot on Zheng Long at this moment.

The commentator of the TV station said: "Zheng Long, a Chinese man who performed well in the last game, gave him the opportunity to start the game. What will he do today, and will he help the team keep a clean sheet? Let us wait and see. !"

For the first home game of the new season, the La Romeda Stadium, which can accommodate 34596 people, was packed.

Seeing the home team's players enter the factory, they waved flags desperately to cheer for the team.

It was the first time for Zheng Long to feel the tens of thousands of people shouting in unison, especially when he heard many fans holding up the signs with their numbers and names on them, and shouting out their names.

He felt very excited and excited.

I must perform better in this game, to be worthy of those fans who came to support me.

Zheng Long secretly encouraged himself, but...

Osasuna has always advocated defense, and Zaragoza is mainly attacking.

This made Zaragoza basically safe from any danger in the first ten minutes.

Zheng Long...

He's kind of bored.

For a long time, the ball did not hit the penalty area.Zheng Long stood in the restricted area with nothing to do.

Several times, Zheng Long couldn't help but want to look around.But thinking that it is in the game now, in case there is an emergency, I pay attention to the situation for a while, and my opponent suddenly shoots from a long distance.

That is dangerous!
Zheng Long could only warn himself in his heart time and time again, to concentrate and not be distracted.

Standing for a long time, it is easy to let the body cold cut down, once the opponent suddenly attacks, the body will be sluggish and unable to react.

Standing in the restricted area, Zheng Long had to observe the front while waving his arms to warm up his body.

Seeing Zheng Long waving his arms in the penalty area, Osasuna fans couldn't help laughing and laughing in the stands.

For those jeers, Zaragoza fans shouted louder to help the team cheer.

"In this game, Zaragoza was playing against Osasuna, Zheng Long seemed like an outsider, and he had no chance to perform at all.

This is a good thing for Zaragoza, but it is bad news for Zheng Long.He just needs to win the trust of the head coach through his performance.

But so far he has had no chance to perform.Maybe in the next game, after Algeria returns, he will sit on the bench and wait for the next opportunity..."
