Green Journey

Chapter 3 I'm Now Convinced He's a Genius!

As the game progressed, Chu Zheng had more and more opportunities to perform defensively.

This made Dieter Heijin more and more delighted as he looked at it.

Now he kind of agrees with his assistant Eddie.

Maybe this little guy is not a genius in that talented Chelsea youth academy.

But in Germany, in their Wolfsburg, this is a very good and talented defender.

In modern football, the tactics are becoming more and more complex, and the defender is a position that requires a lot of experience.

However, through the previous 20 minutes of the game, Dieter Heiking saw a young central defender with a mature and stable defense.

Mature, stable and young are contradictory in themselves, but Dieter Heijin really didn't see the slightest bit of frizz that young players should have in Chu Zheng.

But as the game progressed, Chu Zheng soon revealed his true colors.

On the center line on the left side of the center circle, Naldo's transfer ball was received.Chu Zheng looked up and found that the red team's defensive center of gravity was tilted towards him.

Chu Zheng saw De Bruyne on the right appearing on the sidewalk, and there was no one around him for the time being, so Chu Zheng, who was fully committed, raised his foot and passed without thinking.

"Oops!"

As soon as the ball was passed by a long pass, Chu Zheng secretly thought that something was wrong, because he had used his strength again, and it seemed that he hadn't fully grasped the position of the ball.

"watt!!!"

On the right side of the front court, De Bruyne was stunned when he saw the ball coming.

De Bruyne roughly estimated that if he was [-] meters tall and stretched his neck ten inches longer, then he... would still not be able to reach the ball!
Watching the ball fly out of the sideline and rebound on the iron net, De Bruyne turned his head in a daze, then gave Chu Zheng a thumbs up and shouted loudly: "Hey! Chu, your pass is really accurate, but I'm sorry, I'm not hanging on the iron net!"

Immediately, the players who could understand English on the court were amused by De Bruyne's words.

Chu Zheng rolled his eyes, not at all ashamed, but grinned cheerfully.

At the Chelsea Academy, there are three stages of youth development.

The third stage is 16-18 years old. At this stage, most players have already determined their good positions and turned to special training. Those young players whose skills have not improved will be returned at this age.

Although Chu Zheng was not returned, he was also defined as a defensive central defender.

So in the past two years from the age of 16 to 18, he has been learning defensive knowledge and skills.

In addition, he still has his studies to complete, so his pass fell unknowingly, and he became the current ghost.

In fact, he can see many gaps in every game, and he knows exactly what will happen as long as he sends the ball to these gaps.

But the real situation is:
Brain: "I get it! It's simple! What a big deal! Why don't you just send the ball over!"

Feet: "Climb for labor and management! You know a 6!!"

At the beginning, he passed when he saw the gaps, but later he was scolded a lot. His teammates had a lot of opinions on his frequent waste of the ball. In order to avoid being isolated by his friends, he had to turn a blind eye to these gaps and do his job well. Work.

On the sidelines, seeing Chu Zheng's poor long pass this time, Dieter Heijin couldn't laugh or cry.

"Eddie, I know why Chu was sold by Chelsea!" Dieter Heijin laughed.

"It's really bad, the strength is not well controlled, and the position of eating the ball is also deviated." Eddie shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

"He lives with Kevin?"

"Yes!"

"Maybe we can ask Kevin to help Chu!" Dieter Heiking suggested.

"Great idea!" Eddie's eyes lit up, "Kevin is the best passer on our team, maybe he can help!"

Just as the two turned their heads to talk, the situation on the field changed suddenly.

With De Bruyne's explosive attack in the frontcourt, the green team's defense also had to move forward to maintain support and contact with the frontcourt.

Seeing De Bruyne successfully connect the attacking group in the frontcourt while running recklessly, pressing the red team's formation to rub against inside and outside the offensive third area, Chu Zheng was heartbroken. Sometimes he really envied his friend's superman in offense talent.

Outside the red team's penalty area, De Bruyne cruised to the top of the arc, and the ball was cleared from the side pass. When he saw the ball bounced, he immediately went up and raised his left foot to volley.

With a muffled sound of "Bang!", the ball bounced back on the thigh of the red team's central defender Knoch, and landed in the middle outside the third offensive zone.

Perisic saw an opportunity to counterattack, turned around with the ball and charged.

This guy is very smart. When he saw Naldo and Chu Zheng in the middle circle, he chose the 198cm, 91kg Naldo side.

Although Perisic is tall and big, his speed is not weaker than those small fast forwards.

Faced with this continuous acceleration impact, Naldo didn't even find a chance to foul, and Perisic wiped it away with speed.

In just a few seconds, Perisic entered the green team's penalty area from the left rib.

Seeing the appearance of the single-handedly, Gustavo and Maranda of the green team stopped, and both of them fell on Chu Zheng with hopeful eyes.

Dieter Heiking and Eddy on the sidelines were also stimulated by Perisic's solo breakthrough, and they were staring at Perisic closely, waiting for the goal to appear.

However, at this moment, a green figure suddenly broke into the line of sight of the two of them, making the two guys stunned.

Perisic faced goalkeeper Max Glenn after bursting into the box.

He didn't give Glenn a chance to get close, and flexibly changed direction to avoid Glenn's pounce.

The next second, at the moment Perisic was about to lift his foot to push the empty goal, Chu Zheng made a kill, fell to the ground quickly in the blind spot on the right rear, and accurately shoveled the ball out of the baseline.

"Holy shit!!!"

"Wow!!"

“Holy cow!!!!!!”

“Is so cool!!!!!!!!!”

"..."

Almost everyone on the field looked stunned. They couldn't believe that Chu Zheng actually returned to the defense in time and destroyed Perisic's one-handed goal.

In front of the goal, goalkeeper Glenn got up, roared excitedly, then rushed to Chu Zheng with his arms raised high, gave Chu Zheng a warm hug, and shouted in German: "Dude, you are amazing! "

At this moment, Max felt like he was in the middle of the race and escaped.

He is really excited.

Perisic knelt down on the grass, raised one hand high, and covered his mouth with the other, with a particularly surprised expression, as if he hadn't reacted yet, and was a little stunned.

"Perfect back defense!" Dieter Heijin looked shocked on the sidelines, and turned to look at the excited Eddie next to him, "Dude, Chu is indeed a genius!"

In the eyes of Dieter Heijin, Chu Zheng's ball not only showed his unparalleled speed of recovery, but most importantly, he also saw Chu Zheng's prediction of danger, choice of position, and precise control of the timing of his kicks. .

The moment Perisic rushed up just now, he saw that Chu Zheng started at almost the same time, and then chased back diagonally towards the middle. This obviously predicted Perisic's next choice, and he also knew that Gnar Many will be passed.

The smartest thing is that Chu Zheng chooses to destroy the ball, instead of fighting against Perisic, who is tall, strong, fast, and rushing like a tank, but from the side and rear blind spot, let him defend this time Full of wisdom.

Dieter Heijin silently watched Chu Zheng, who accepted the congratulations from his teammates, his eyes sparkled.

"Eddie, do you think Chu's defensive style looks like a player!"

"Who?" Hearing Dieter Heikin's sudden question, Eddie was a little puzzled.

"Fabio Cannavaro!" Dieter Heiking asked himself in the next second.

After such a reminder, Eddie felt that the technical characteristics of Chu Zheng and Cannavaro were quite similar.

Cannavaro is 175cm tall and far from meeting the standard as a central defender, but he just relied on his excellent speed, amazing jumping, and excellent defensive awareness to become the first defensive player in today's football to win the World Footballer of the Year.

But everything has advantages and disadvantages. Cannavaro's technical characteristics have made him, and also created his embarrassment in the latter part of his career.

Players with this technical characteristic will plummet in their competitive state when they get old, and there will be a dilemma where people or feet can't catch up when they realize it.

In addition, this type of defender does not have the advantages of height and body, so Cannavaro looks a bit bad on the defensive end after getting old.

As for Chu Zheng, apart from his poor ball skills, he also has top speed, amazing bounce, and a smart head.

The most important thing is that his height is 182, and he can grow a little longer. Even if his body can't be trained as a powerful guard, he will definitely not suffer too much if he has his explosive power to make up for it.

So judging from the current technical characteristics of Chu Zheng, Eddie suddenly found that Chu Zheng possessed the characteristics of Cannavaro, but abandoned the shortcomings.

Thinking of this, Eddie was terrified. His intuition told him that Wolfsburg might be about to produce a first-class or top central defender.

Of course, this conclusion is only based on the current performance of Chu Zheng. The biggest characteristic of young players is instability.

Whether Chu Zheng can maintain this excellent competitive state is still unknown.

Next, Dieter Heikin and Eddie squatted on the sidelines to watch the game.

But as the game progressed, more and more weaknesses of Chu Zheng were exposed.

In addition to the somewhat poor ball, Chu Zheng's ability to control the ball is also a bit poor.

Perhaps a central defender does not need excellent dribbling skills, but the ball must be controlled, otherwise it will be the beginning of a disaster.

When the first and second half of the 60-minute game ended, Chu Zheng was so tired that he stuck out his tongue.

This physical ability made Dieter Heijin and Eddie frowned again.

But fortunately for the two of them, Chu Zheng did not have any fatal flaws.

What he lacks in physical strength, he makes up for with a smart brain.

Insufficient in strength, he has strong instant explosive power to resist the collision in the game.

And that bad shot was also hidden by Chu Zheng's conservative defense.

And these deficiencies can all be practiced the day after tomorrow.

Not long after, Dieter Heiking got up, patted his butt, and left with a happy mood.
