Chapter 78 The Autistic Chu Zheng Was Kicked!
On the training day of February 2st, Chu Zheng showed up in the club gym early in the morning to exercise.

He didn't appear on the training ground until his body was completely warmed up, and started to practice the boring training programs he had formulated.

At 7:[-], Knoch drove into the gate of the club.

When Knoch came out of the parking lot, he found Chu Zheng on the training ground, and the smile on his face was full of helplessness.

Although he was squeezed to the bench by Chu Zheng, he was convinced.

Chu Zheng's performance on the defensive end made him see clearly how big the gap between himself and Chu Zheng was.

This is a kind of crushing from talent.

Knoch, who has learned to play football since he was a child, knows very well that there are two types of players in the world. The first type is talented players like Chu Zheng with enviable talents.

The other is ordinary players like them who can only play a certain role on the team.

At first, Knoch, who lost his main position, was indeed very frustrated, and even wanted to win back the starting position by relying on his excellent performance.

But with the passage of time, Chu Zheng's phenomenal performances, his dissatisfaction has gradually disappeared.

He even thought for a while whether he should transfer and leave to find more opportunities to play in other teams.

He is only 23 this year, and he is 3 years older than Chu Zheng. He is also in an age group where the ball is rising. He also needs more games to accumulate experience.

But after an in-depth discussion with Dieter Heiking, Knoch temporarily gave up the idea of ​​leaving after getting a promise to increase his playing time in the cup.

And he vaguely felt that players like Chu Zheng would not end up in the Bundesliga.

"Hey!! Chu!! Do you need my help?" Knoch watched quietly for a while, then he shook his hand and shouted at Chu Zheng.

On the training ground, Chu Zheng, who was sweating heavily, turned his head and spewed out white gas, smiled, waved his hands and shook his head and shouted: "You haven't warmed up yet, it's too dangerous, my training is coming to an end soon!"

Knoch nodded and smiled when he heard the words, turned around and walked directly to the locker room.

At 8 o'clock, Wolfsburg players appeared on the training ground one after another, started running laps under the leadership of the fitness coach, and then performed various detailed warm-up actions.

"Chu! Dieter asked you to go to his office!"

After Chu Zheng finished stretching, he was about to take a break when he saw Eddie appearing on the sidelines and waving to him.

"OK!" Chu Zheng made a gesture, then immediately trotted off the field and headed for Dieter Heijin's office.

More than ten minutes later, Chu Zheng and Dieter Heijin appeared on the training ground together.

Eddie and Olaf, who were directing and supervising the players' special training, stopped training immediately when they saw Dieter Heiking's gesture.

A few minutes later, the players were divided into two teams, and there will be a 30-minute in-team training match.

"Dieter, are you sure Chu can adapt to the position of the midfielder?" Eddie, who was standing beside Dieter Heijin, frowned and asked.

"This is just an attempt, maybe we will know the answer soon!" Dieter Heiking smiled.

"I know Chu very well, he is not suitable to play as a midfielder at all now!" Eddie directly concluded.

In today's increasingly complex tactical system, the position of the defensive midfielder can determine the fate of the team, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the final direction of the game.

Although it is not as dazzling as the striker, it plays an extremely important role in the soul of the team.

This kind of player is often the brain and commander of the team, controlling the team's overall game rhythm, and also the hub of the team's offensive and defensive transitions.

However, with the overall development of football skills and tactics, the requirements for the midfielder are becoming more and more demanding and comprehensive.

Initially, the responsibilities of the defensive midfielder were more to assist the defenders in defense.

In the middle of the 20th century, with the rise of the scavenger tactics, the role of the defensive midfielder was rapidly weakened.

It wasn't until the 80s that the defensive midfielder entered its glorious initial era.

And the midfielder at this time is completely different from the previous midfielder. At this time, the midfielder needs to take on the heavy responsibility of the team's offense and defense.

The appearance of Falcao made the midfielder start to be valued, and he also made it clear that the duties of the midfielder are to organize offense and command defense.

In the 90s, Redondo brought new functions to the midfielder, which is accurate positioning and defense.

After entering the 21st century, through the prosperity of pass-controlled football, the popularity of 4231 formation, and the high-position pressing tactics that have gradually emerged in recent years.Today's midfielder has continued to develop in a comprehensive direction.

Controlling the rhythm, pressing the offense, connecting the front and back courts, wide-ranging transfers, sweeping, vision, and overall situation, the functions are becoming more and more diverse, and the conditions for becoming a defensive midfielder are becoming more and more demanding.

There is even a saying that is still circulating in football, that is, the team can live without No. 10, but it cannot live without No. 6.

This shows the importance of the position of the midfielder.

In today's football, a good midfielder can completely determine the direction of the team's performance.

The best examples are Chelsea in the Premier League and Real Madrid in La Liga.

Makelele's one in and one out caused Chelsea and Real Madrid to undergo earth-shaking changes in the next few years.

So far, Real Madrid have not been able to fully make up for the midfield hole that Makelele left and became weaker.

In addition, there is Arsenal in the Premier League.

Since Vieira left the Apennines, Arsenal's midfielder is like a mollusk whose spine has been pumped.

No one can change it, and the situation has intensified and continued to deteriorate in recent years.

Now teams all over the world know that Arsenal's waist is not very good.

As a result, many in the Premier League now feel as if they have been hit with adrenaline when they see Arsenal. They pick up the traditional long-distance ball of the Premier League and swipe at Arsenal's waist like crazy.

The effect was quite good, and the two clubs, Stoke City and Chelsea, even almost gave Wenger a phobia.

Therefore, Chu Zheng is too immature for the crucial position of the midfielder.

Putting other Eddie aside, just talking about the physical fitness of Chu Zheng who needs two to four lungs in the back, he failed completely.

Even if he played relatively well on the field relying on his defense and vision, it is estimated that he would have to turn off the fire before halftime.

The fact is indeed as Eddie expected.

After the game started, although Chu Zheng had several good performances on the defensive end, he couldn't hold the ball at all.

He often lost the ball under the turns of the blue team players, fully exposing his shortcomings of ball control ability at his feet and lack of physical strength.

Even the shots that looked passable started to make mistakes under the pressure of this high-pressure situation.

In the last minute of the first half, Chu Zheng received a return pass from De Bruyne. As soon as he was about to take the ball, Xu Erle rushed over, got off his horse and carried him to keep hooking the ball with his feet.

Chu Zheng couldn't stand it any longer, and threw the ball on the ground very simply without taking a few hits.

Dieter Heikin on the sidelines grinned straight at this scene, and Eddie shook his head and smiled wryly.

This result was within Dieter Heijin's expectations.

The reason why he arranged for Chu Zheng to play as a midfielder today was because he wanted to see how far Chu Zheng could go.

Now that he has found out the details, he can formulate a detailed transformation plan for Chu Zheng.

After the second half, Dieter Heiking took Eddie away directly.

And Chu Zheng had already collapsed on the training ground. He was lying on his back facing the dark sky, his chest heaved violently, and he kept sucking in the cold air.

At this moment, Chu Zheng was already sober, and was about to shut himself off.

The previous excitement from the new position and the new challenge disappeared without a trace. He never expected that the midfielder would be so difficult to play.

In just three or 10 minutes, he was as tired in the midfielder position as he was after playing 60-70 minutes on the court.

In terms of physical fitness alone, he failed.

"Hey, guys, why is there a salted fish here!" After a while, Arnold sat down beside Chu Zheng with a mocking smile on his face.

"I buy it! Chu, your physical ability really surprised me!" Dost also came over and teased, "Of course, it's a very bad kind of surprise! Haha!!!"

"Chu, what does it feel like to be crazily cornered? Hehe!!" Even De Bruyne came over to join in the fun. He saw the miserable state of Chu Zheng frequently falling to the ground in the past 10 minutes, and he was happy in his heart.

"Dude, today is the happiest day for me this year, because I can ravage Chu with my body like crazy!" Gustavo sat down and patted Chu Zheng's chest with a comfortable face. How embarrassing to guard against.

Now he finally has his chance for revenge!
One word!

Cool! !

"Fake squid!" Chu Zheng sat up and raised two fingers towards the sky, his face full of tears and laughter.

Immediately, everyone burst into laughter.

Not far away, Zhang Xizhe, who looked a little out of place, silently looked at Chu Zheng, who was surrounded by everyone.
