Stand by the last line of defense

Chapter 35 Against Barcelona B Team ([-])

Now that Zheng Long is in the right condition, how could it be possible for Zheng Long to play as a substitute?
This is football, strength is king.

If you have no strength, you will be sacrificed, but when you have enough strength, you can change the view of the head coach and influence his decision-making.

On September 9, Zaragoza will go away to challenge Barcelona B team.

Alfredo Martinez, the on-site commentator before the game, saw Zheng Long enter the field, and he shouted loudly.

"The focus of the third round of West Second Division, Zaragoza took the momentum of the recent two consecutive victories against the No. 1 Barcelona B team. In the last round, Barcelona B team defeated Real Betis 2-0, showing a good performance state!
But Zaragoza remained unbeaten in these two rounds and performed well.Today is the same as the last game, Huaxia goalkeeper No. 42 Zheng Long started again!
When entering the field, the Zaragoza fans who came with the team shouted Zheng Long's name in unison!It seems that this newcomer has won the favor of Zaragoza fans! "

Zheng Long saw many Zaragoza fans holding cards with his name on the field and shouted.

"Dragon! Dragon!"

Zheng Long waved to the fans who supported him.

Zheng Long's response made Zaragoza fans even more enthusiastic.

"Dragon! Keep guarding our goal, let those guys fail and go home crying!"

"Long, continue to perform, so that the opponent can't score a single goal!"

……

Zheng Long's outstanding performance in these two games made everyone look forward to him being able to guard the gate and keep a clean sheet!
However, this game is against Barcelona B team.

The La Masia youth training camp is world-renowned and has trained world-class stars such as Messi, Cesc Fabregas and Harvey.

Last season, the Barcelona B team won the third place in La Liga, just because Barcelona is already in La Liga.

The same club cannot have two teams in the same league, so the Barcelona B team had to stay in the second division.

This season, although players such as Sanchez have been raised or transferred to other clubs.

But the newly joined players such as Joan Roman and Traore are still very effective.

In this game, because the opponent was Barcelona B team, Zaragoza set up a 442 formation. Rico, who performed poorly in the previous game, was replaced by Loro.

The forward partner is No. 9 high center Borja Baston and No. 10 William Jose.

Not long after the players entered the field, the referee blew the whistle for the official start of the game.

At the beginning of the game, both teams played very cautiously. After more than ten minutes, after the trial period, they slowly let go.

The possession of the ball changed repeatedly in the midfield, which was very intense.

This kind of anxious game is the coach's least favorite, because there are too many variables.

At this time, the head coaches of the two teams stood on the field at the same time, observing the situation on the field nervously, and at the same time kept shouting to signal their players to pay attention.

Joan Roman is the midfield playmaker of the Barcelona B team.

After he got the ball in the frontcourt, he kicked a beautiful through ball directly through the Zaragoza defense under the pressure of Gallareta.

Traore went forward at high speed in the first place.

This tactic is the longest seen in the Barcelona B team.

The opponents know they will play this way, but it is really difficult to defend against it.

Joan Roman passes the ball very well, and Traore's speed is really abnormal!

Seeing Traore go forward again, there was a huge cheer from the fans in the Nou Camp stands.

What fans of the Barcelona B team like to watch most now is Traore's use of speed to savage opponents.

Traore got behind Zaragoza's defense and got the ball!

When the Zaragoza players realized that their defense had been penetrated, they all shouted in their hearts.

But at this time, even if they turned around and chased them back, it would be useless...

They can only watch Traore stop the ball, and then shoot a cold arrow in the penalty area.

Traore is fast, has good explosive power, and has strong legs. The football he shoots is very fast!

As soon as he took the kick, Traore felt that he played the ball very well.

Even after the shot, his body couldn't hold back and he leaned forward, his eyes were fixed on the goal all the time, wanting to see his goal for the first time.

"Traore shoots—!"

When the on-site commentator Alfredo Martinez was about to shout to congratulate Traore on his goal, Zheng Long stretched his legs and blocked the football.

The ball bounced high, and the returning central defender Vallejo hurriedly pushed the ball forward.

"Beautiful! The Chinese Zheng Long blocked Traore's shot!!"

The commentator Alfredo Martinez quickly changed his tune and shouted. "It's really worthy of Zheng Long who has the nickname of interceptor! I feel that with him, I can intercept all the opponent's shots."

Traore staggered forward a few steps before standing still.

Seeing that the ball was saved by his opponent, he kicked the grass angrily.

It's a pity that such shots are not scored!

It was just the beginning, although Traore felt very sorry.

He shook his head and ran back, and gave Joan Roman a thumbs up, indicating that the other party passed well.

Seeing Traore's shot, the Camp Nou fans jumped from their seats, waving their arms, ready to shout.

But the next moment, their actions seemed to be acupuncture points, and they all hugged their heads and lamented.

That damn goalie.

Even blocked such a good shot.

In the live commentary seat, Alfredo Martinez shouted with a microphone.

"Listen to the shouting! This is another time Zheng Long saved the team and blocked the opponent's counterattack! Zheng Long's reaction is always so good, making the opponent fall into despair!"

"Zheng Long once again kept Zaragoza's goal! We can clearly see that a world-class goalkeeper is rising!"

On-site commentator Alfredo Martinez spoke highly of Zheng Long.

If the performance of a game does not explain the problem, it can only be said to be luck.

What about two games, three games?

All three games had outstanding performances, let alone a 17-year-old youth player, what is this but a potential star?
After Zheng Long's excellent performance in three games, he believes that Zheng Long is worthy of such praise.

Seeing Zheng Long's outstanding performance, the general manager stood up from his seat. He didn't cheer loudly, but just applauded.

Seeing Zheng Long's continuous outstanding performance on the court, the general manager couldn't help thinking.

If Zheng Long transfers next year, how much transfer fee can he get?Should his salary be adjusted?

And most importantly, the contract period has also been changed.

How can 3 years be enough.

It will take 7 years anyway.

Although I also know that it is very difficult for Zaragoza to keep Zheng Long.

But as long as the signing is longer, the negotiation can also get a better price.

Although Zheng Long blocked Traore's goal, on the scene, Barcelona B team still dominated.

The game quickly entered the rhythm of the Barcelona B team.

Unlike the Barcelona team, which focuses on pass control, this youth team does not have the strength of Barcelona.

But now the Barcelona B team are all great guys, young and energetic, with better skills than their age, fast ball and fast pace,
Their offense is now more concise and direct.

Joan Roman's scheduling in the midfield was easy, No. 14 right winger Bijo, and No. 16 left winger Gerard Gumbaou interspersed and ran.

Of course, there is one more person that cannot be ignored.

That is Traore.

His speed is a great deterrent to Zaragoza.

As long as he is cruising behind the frontcourt, he is a big threat to Zaragoza.

They didn't dare to leave too much space behind the defense, which would give Traore the distance to sprint.

But if they withdraw their defense, the Barcelona B team can calmly display their ability to mobilize.

Although Joan Roman is young, he has a calmness that does not match his age.

There are rumors that next season, Barcelona will transfer him to the first team and give him a chance.

Joan Roman was in Zaragoza's midfield and mobilized Zaragoza's defense again and again, which made Zaragoza's goal jittery.

Seeing his disciple taking the initiative, head coach Eusebio finally showed a relaxed smile.

Although Zheng Long performed well, he was relieved by the state shown by his disciples in the competition.

Stay long and lose.

Believe that the goal will come sooner or later.

After only 3 minutes, Barcelona launched a very threatening attack.
