I am the head coach

Chapter 99 Who is Zhou Zheng?

In the locker room, Xue Yang is arranging the tactics for the second half of the game. This is the opening game of the Chinese Super League, and Xue Yang hopes to end with a victory.

Even if the opponent is the runner-up of the Chinese Super League last season, and Tianjin Wei is indeed more dominant at present.

"We did well in the first half of the game, but there are still some problems." Xue Yang told all the players.

"That's our defense, we weren't focused enough defensively today."

"The opponent hit the door several times because we were not focused enough and missed people."

"As for the offensive end, our midfield configuration is stronger than that of our opponents, so we increased possession in the second half."

"Keep the football under your own feet as much as possible to reduce the chances of the opponent's attack."

After describing the general changes, the next step is the changes for the players.

"In the second half, Qin Dabao, you should retreat as much as possible and put more energy on defense."

"If the pressure is not high, you can support the defense in the middle."

Today, it is Jixiang who is facing Qin Dabao. Jixiang is definitely not as good as foreign aid, but he is also better than Qin Dabao.

So Xue Yang asked Tan Dabao to focus on defense, which was safer.

"Next is Hurtado and Shao Yi. In the second half of the game, you can make more crosses and give full play to your advantages."

Zheng Jinshan couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Xue Yang's words. He didn't expect that he wasted so many opportunities. Xue Yang not only didn't blame him, but even increased the number of crosses.

However, he soon fell into disappointment because of Xue Yang's next words.

"Zhou Zheng, prepare for the second half and give full play to your advantages after playing." Xue Yang said to Zhou Zheng.

Xue Yang's intention was very clear, that is to replace Zheng Jinshan.

Although Zheng Jinshan was disappointed, he would not blame Xue Yang.

He did not play well today, and several opportunities were wasted by him.

The halftime break ended quickly, and players from both sides returned to the court.

Both sides were full of desire for victory, but Jiangsu Sainty soon discovered the difference.

Compared with the first half, Tianjin Wei became more oppressive, which made them very uncomfortable.

At this time, Zhou Zheng had already played, Zheng Jinshan looked at Zhou Zheng on the court and felt a little guilty.

Starting the opening game of the new season, it can be seen how much Xue Yang values ​​​​himself.

But he couldn't seize the opportunity, so he could only put his hope in the next game, hoping that Xue Yang would still trust him.

Soon Jiangsu Sainty also made a substitution, and Xue Yang didn't know what to do with this substitution.

Now Jiangsu Sainty is at a disadvantage in ball possession rate, but their head coach actually replaced the midfielder Krivitz at this time and replaced the foreign aid forward Saleh on the bench.

The midfielder was originally at a disadvantage, but now a midfielder has been replaced, and he is still a foreign player.

Now Jiangsu Sainty is more passive. Xue Yang can imagine that Tianjin Wei's ball possession rate will crush Jiangsu Sainty in the future.

And Jiangsu Sainty's idea is very simple, that is to add a striker to score goals.

The time came to 56 minutes unknowingly, and Tianjin Wei launched a counterattack after successfully defending.

The football came to Qu Xuan's feet, and Qu Xuan moved forward with the ball while observing the position of his teammates.

And he subconsciously looked to the left, Qu Xuan was a little used to it.

Jiang Bin was in this position last season, and Qu Xuan always looked for Jiang Bin immediately.

However, Qu Xuan suddenly discovered that the foreign aid Hurtado was running forward.

In fact, it's not just Hurtado, Zhou Zheng and Shao Yi are also running forward.

Among them, Zhou Zheng is undoubtedly the slowest. Fortunately, he improved a little after training.

Coupled with his long legs, it seems that the speed is not slow.

After Qu Xuan saw Hurtado, he decisively sent a long pass to the left, still giving a certain amount of advance.

Because he was worried that Hurtado's speed was not as good as Jiang Bin's, Qu Xuan deliberately reduced the advance.

However, he underestimated Hurtado's speed, and Hurtado quickly caught up with the football.

As for the opposing full-back Zhou Yun, he has been working hard to catch up, but he can't catch up with Hurtado at all.

Hurtado paused a bit after stopping the ball because the lead was slightly smaller.

Zhou Yun took this opportunity to catch up a little bit, but soon Hurtado started to run forward with the ball.

Hurtado's speed is really fast, and soon he came to the vicinity of 45 degrees on the left side of the penalty area.

He subconsciously looked at the position of his teammates, and he found that his teammates did not keep up.

Hurtado slowed down, Zhou Yun finally caught up, and he stopped in front of Hurtado.

He wanted to prevent Hurtado from breaking into the penalty area, but after decelerating, Hurtado suddenly accelerated his dribble toward the bottom line.

Hurtado's sudden deceleration and then acceleration left Zhou Yun completely helpless.

This is a gap in talent, Zhou Yun was suppressed by Hurtado in terms of motor skills and ability.

Hurtado accelerated and went to the left side of the penalty area. Erelson quickly returned to his penalty area because of his relatively late position.

At this time, Erelson was very hesitant. If he defended against Hurtado, he was worried that Hurtado would pass the ball to other Tianjin Wei players.

But if the defense is not supplemented, it will be more dangerous for Hurtado to break into the penalty area.

So Erelson chose to defend, and his choice was correct.

Because Tajiyev was not slow to return to defense, and he was about to return to the penalty area.

And if the quality of Hurtado's pass is poor, even the goalkeeper Deng Xiaofei may not be able to make it through.

Hurtado saw Erelson defending, and made a decisive cross without the slightest hesitation.

The football flew into the penalty area with an arc, and Zhou Zheng finally arrived.

But it was still a little short of distance, so Zhou Zheng flew decisively to compete for the top.

In the past month, Zhou Zheng has grown a lot, and he began to know what he should do.

Zhou Zheng hit the football hard, and he hit the header firmly.

So the ball was very fast, and the goalkeeper Deng Xiaofei wanted to make a save.

But just before he lowered his center of gravity and took off, the football flew into the goal.

Tianjin Wei leads Jiangsu Sainty 1-0!

"The goal is scored! Zhou Zheng, who came off the bench, completed his first career goal!" Duan Xuan explained excitedly.

More than half of the game, the goal finally came.

"This time it was still initiated from Hurtado. With his speed advantage, Hurtado came to the left side of the penalty area."

"After attracting the defense, Zhou Zheng made a decisive pass, and Zhou Zheng patted the horse and rushed to a powerful header!"

"Now that the score is 1-0, I believe many people have never imagined that the newly promoted Tianjin Wei scored the first goal."

"Tianjin Wei played so well today, Jiangsu Sainty is really not wronged." Xu Yang continued to explain.

"As a newly promoted team, Tianjin Wei played very strongly. Facing last season's runner-up in the Chinese Super League, he can also play very suppressively."

"It's not that the Chinese Super League has not had strong newly promoted players, such as Guangzhou Evergrande, but Tianjin Wei is obviously different from Guangzhou Evergrande."

"Although Tianjin Wei's foreign aid is also good, they are stronger than the local players."
