All-around substitute

Chapter 36
The Xianghe base of the Chinese Football Association, the office of National Youth Coach Kerry.

A piece of white A4 paper is full of mixed lines, and discarded paper balls are scattered around the desk.Kerry put one hand on his brow bone, and the blue marker pen in his hand did not move for a long time.Thinking hard to no avail, he casually took a sip of the strong tea at hand, exhausted from exhaustion.Since coming to China, Kerry has been obsessed with drinking tea. He likes the taste of bitterness and reward, just like his current job, helping Chinese football to taste the long-lost victory.However, the miraculous tea leaves did not inspire him to find his way of thinking. On the contrary, his sober thinking made him feel anxious.

The Asian Youth Championship is approaching, and the team's record is poor. Kerry is under great pressure to enter the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands.After taking over the National Youth League for nearly a year, he has a clear idea about the team's tactical play, but the players will always discount it in terms of specific implementation.

In the previous game, the 4231 used by the National Youth League did not achieve the expected effect. Kerry asked the players to control the ball at their feet and advance to the opponent's half through passing and cutting.But in the actual game, it seems that there is no way to face the pressing national youth players, and they can only attack through long passes with big feet.And this monotonous offense is nothing more than returning the ball to the opponent.

In order to change this situation, Kerry has made many adjustments in personnel.From the initial re-use of the overseas army to the re-use of domestic players, the results were not good.Kerry once changed his tactical play, but the team still showed problems such as not daring to control the ball, blindly kicking big feet, and fighting alone.As a result, the outside media have denounced Kerry for being ignorant, and the strongest national youth in the new century has been turned into a belly to be bullied.

Kerry!My sir, I think you need this!Kerry's assistant came to the office with bread and butter.

Rose, Kerry's assistant, is German of Polish descent.The two met in Leverkusen when they were players, and they have been friends for decades.Staying together for a long time, the two have a perfect understanding.Rose will take on a lot of work outside of directing games.In addition to daily training, because I am not used to Chinese food, I occasionally take on the team's diet.Of course, this is limited to the German coaching staff. Today's buttered bread is made by Rose.

oh!Ross!Thanks!I think I'm a little hungry.Kerry rubbed his stomach and took the plate of bread.

Zhang has notified the clubs of the new training list.Xu Zangyi is also among them, and you can see him in two weeks.Rose sat across from Kerry and told Kerry about the roster situation.

That's great!cough!cough! Player No. 52 I need him so much!Perhaps because he was really hungry, Kerry swallowed it before chewing.

Uh~ Sir, I have a question, does Xu really have the ability to pinch the team as you said?At the beginning you showed the same high enthusiasm for overseas players, but what happened later...it was terrible!Rose spread his hands and shrugged, he didn't have high expectations for Xu Zangyi like Kerry.

I don't deny that I had high expectations for overseas players.In fact, they also show good strength, especially when they have self-confidence.Rose wonder if you have found?It is difficult for this group of children to control their mentality. They are like riding a roller coaster, falling from the highest point to the bottom in just a few seconds.When they have the confidence to beat their opponents, they can often play very beautiful football. On the contrary, they can play very ugly and unacceptable.

oh!God!That's exactly what I've been meaning to say!How easily they can go from one extreme to the other is incredible to me!Rose's facial features were tangled together, a problem that had troubled him for a long time.

It seems that you and I think the same. There is no lack of skills and awareness in this team. They lack the Dinghai God Needle in Chinese mythology. When they are at a loss, they need a goal, a goal that can help them, and Xu Zangyi is I found them the Dinghaishenzhen!

Kerry!What I want to remind you is that Xu Zangyi has only entered professional football for two months!He was just a student before this!
I know what you're trying to say Ross!I think you will change your mind about No. 52 after watching this video!Kerry opened the file in the computer, and the game screen was projected on the white wall through the projector.

This was the previous game between Red Star and Shen Hai. At the end of the second half, a famous Red Star player was seriously injured.Judging from the post-match interview, Xu Zangyi has a very good relationship with this player.The current score is 2 to 1, which is a delicate score. At this time, the Red Star player was injured and fell to the ground. Xu Zangyi did not stop, and moved forward with the ball until he scored the third goal, a goal that was enough to end the game. , he returned to his injured companion.If this situation happened in the National Youth League, I think the players should be looking for trouble for their opponents at this time!This is the ability to read the game, when to do what, young people like Guoqing should learn it.

Rose didn't speak, but pinched his chin thoughtfully.

Looking forward, the Red Star did not lose the ball before.Shen Hai suddenly launched a fierce attack, and Red Star was in chaos, unable to organize a counterattack.Is this similar to Guoqing?At a loss, with no goal and no direction, like a frightened bird.Looking back, after Xu Zangyi came on the stage, in addition to restraining Shen Hai's fierce offensive left, he also revitalized the overall offense of Red Star through his continuous support and running.From being passively beaten to taking the initiative to attack, there is an extra Xu Zangyi who likes to respond.

You just mentioned the time to get into professional football, which is not a problem in my opinion.The short time does not mean anything. Whether it is domestic or overseas players, they all entered professional football earlier than Xu Zangyi, but it is difficult to compare with Xu Zangyi in terms of handling the ball, reading the game and mentality.

OK Kerry!I think I've been convinced by you!Xu Zangyi looks like a good player, at least in the video!
no no no!Ross!Not by looking, but in fact he is a very good player and I look forward to him.Maybe we can make a bet, he will make your eyes shine!

This idea sounds great!I am happy to accept.Of course, from a team perspective, I very much hope that Xu Zangyi can help our team.

certainly!Ross what are you betting on?I think the UEFA Cup championship medal in the 87-88 season was very good!

oh god!That medal is so memorable to me!That was my first championship in my life!And the opponent is the mighty Barcelona!Kerry I think you should get another one!
Yes!You played very well in that game, I still remember it...
