I am the head coach

Chapter 89

Zhou Zheng came to the stadium on time again today, training with his teammates like a machine.

Zhou Zheng was not originally a football player, but because of his hobby of basketball, he has been associated with him since he was a child.

And because he has been tall since he was a child, he has always played as a center forward.

He has been on the school basketball team since elementary school, and he is still very capable as a center.

His height and his good bounce make his rebounding ability outstanding.

And his footwork around the basket is also very flexible, and he has always been the core of the basketball team.

Especially after he backed the basket, he faked and then slipped the baseline to the basket, and then scored the basketball.

This is a great weapon for Zhou Zheng to score. He turns very flexibly and fakes are very realistic.

As an Asian, he is different from other Asian centers.

Zhou Zheng is not like a bamboo stick like them, Zhou Zheng looks quite strong.

However, he is stronger than he looks. Such conditions are destined to make him a basketball player, but an accident happened.

In a basketball game, Zhou Zheng broke into the basket and then jumped high, trying to make up for the basketball.

But the opponent made a mistake and pushed Zhou Zheng in the air. Zhou Zheng supported the ground with one palm after landing in weightlessness.

It was this that broke his thumb and index finger, and of course he had to recuperate from the injury for a few months at such a young age.

Although he recovered from his injuries afterwards, Zhou Zheng fell into a psychological shadow because of this.

Whenever he takes the ball with his right hand, it seems to be in pain.

However, his right hand is still Zhou Zheng's dominant hand, and now he basically plays with his right hand.

Under such circumstances, his basketball is getting worse and worse.

This made him hate playing basketball, and eventually he just gave up on it.

Like many sports students, Zhou Zheng took the path of sports because he didn't like studying.

And Zhou Zheng is one of them. He belongs to the type of scumbag no matter how hard he studies.

In addition, he also hates studying, so he still wants to take the road of sports.

There is no need to consider volleyball, because volleyball also needs hands.

He was looking for a sport that didn't involve his hands, and by accident he chose football.

But he came into contact with football a little late, so he has never been the bright one.

He used to use his hands all the time, but now he suddenly switched to feet and he still doesn't feel comfortable.

He has almost no ability to hold the ball. Since he came into contact with football, he has played as a striker and a central defender.

After all, his height advantage is here, but if he plays as a forward, he really has no means of attacking the goal.

There is also the ability to head the ball, other than that, it is too general.

And if he plays as a central defender, his defensive ability is indeed a bit poor.

After he was recommended to Tianjin Wei, he thought he would definitely lose the election.

But in the end, he actually signed with Tianjin Wei, and even now he is in the first team.

Zhou Zheng has been at a loss for the past few months, full of question marks about his future.

He didn't know where to go, Tianjin Wei's player number had been determined.

He actually won the No. 9 jersey. Zhou Zheng knows the importance of the No. 9 jersey.

No. 9 is generally the number of the team's main forward, but Zhou Zheng got this number without fighting for it.

This made him very confused, and it was only later that he realized that this was what the head coach Xue Yang meant.

Zhou Zheng knew that when Xue Yang was in the Chinese Premier League, he liked to use young players very much.

Could it be that he is also a player that Xue Yang likes, and is even willing to give him the No. 9 jersey.

But Zhou Zheng doesn't think he has this ability. Sometimes he even wonders if he is not suitable for football.

Of course he didn't know that Xue Yang knew his talent, Xue Yang wanted to train Zhou Zheng to be the main force as soon as possible.

This time the winter training is held in China, and the opponents in the warm-up match are basically the Chinese A and Chinese B teams.

There may be little value in exercising, but it's better than nothing.

Xue Yang asked Zhou Zheng to start the battle, but what surprised Zhou Zheng was that Zhou Zheng's performance was relatively amateurish.

Obviously the header ability is okay, but it just can't hit the football.

Soon Xue Yang discovered Zhou Zheng's problem. Although he could head the ball, he did a poor job of running and blocking.

Moreover, Zhou Zheng played without any goal in the whole game, and looked very dazed on the court.

After Xue Yang understood the situation, it was obviously not normal for Zhou Zheng.

Only now did Xue Yang know the whole story. No wonder Zhou Zheng was so dazed on the court, and his basic skills were surprisingly poor.

It turns out that Zhou Zheng's contact with football is so short, no wonder he feels like he doesn't know what to do.

After a few days, Xue Yang called Zhou Zheng to the office, hoping to have a chat with Zhou Zheng.

"Zhou Zheng! I know you used to play basketball, because some changed to football." Xue Yang said.

"I can understand your current predicament, but I believe you also know that you can't go on like this."

Zhou Zheng couldn't help lowering his head when he heard Xue Yang's words.

He heard what Xue Yang meant, and what he said meant nothing more than two results.

It's not about firing him or delegating him, and he certainly hopes it will be devolved.

"For you now, the best way is to bring out your strengths." Xue Yang continued.

Xue Yang didn't understand Zhou Zheng when he said that, why did he start giving himself advice.

"Coach! Are you going to let me go?" Zhou Zheng asked hesitantly.

"Of course not! You have unique conditions, and your potential is also very high. It would be a waste of your talent to let you go to the reserve team." Xue Yang replied in surprise.

Zhou Zheng was shocked by Xue Yang's answer. It turned out that Xue Yang didn't want to drive him away as he thought before.

"Your problem now is that you are a bit late in football and you still need to improve in many areas."

"Faced with your situation, my advice to you is to use your strengths as much as possible." Xue Yang gave advice.

"My advantage?" Zhou Zheng frowned, he couldn't think of his own advantage for a while.

"Although you are young, you are good at physical confrontation, so he can fight against the opponent more." Xue Yang replied.

"And as far as I know, you were a center forward. First of all, your rebounding ability is good. I believe you should be very good at blocking positions."

"It's okay!" Zhou Zheng replied confidently.

Maybe he is really good at football, but he still has confidence in basketball.

Positioning is very important in basketball. If you are in a good position, the chances of grabbing a rebound are much greater.

If you've ever watched the NBA, you know that when someone starts a free throw, the players from both sides line up in two teams.

The opponent on the free throw side will be closer to the rebound. When the basketball is freed, the opponent close to the rebound will quickly block the opponent's rebounder.

This leads to rebounds after missed free throws, which are basically grabbed by the opponent.

It can be seen that the importance of getting stuck when grabbing rebounds, if you are stuck by the opponent, unless your jumping ability or height crushes your opponent.

Otherwise, you will basically not be able to grab this rebound.
