Stand by the last line of defense

Chapter 74 Zheng Style Hairdryer ([-])
Popovich could see it.

The midfielders were not active enough when returning to defense, and even guys like Galareta and Doka ran back in a coping manner without trying their best at all.

Originally, the 343 formation required the midfielders to strengthen their tackles and interceptions, but the slackness of Galareta and the others made the defense in the middle useless.

Let the opponent easily push the ball into their own backcourt.

During the intermission, those midfielders must be warned, otherwise, even if they are sent to the bench, they will have to be replaced.

When Popovich was thinking about countermeasures.

At the VIP seat, Cai Zhenghua looked at Zheng Long's angry look.

he said lightly. "I feel that this young general is not stable enough, and his temper is a bit frizzy!"

Liu Zheng knew that Cai Zhenghua was transferred because he was good at table tennis and wanted to do a good job in domestic football.

Liu Zheng didn't want Zheng Long to leave a bad impression in Cai Zhenghua's mind.

This may affect his chances of being selected for the U23 team.

Liu Zheng hurriedly excused Zheng Long.

he explained. "Ju Cai, just now the player in the middle and back field made a mistake, which created a good opportunity for the opponent to score. Zheng Long is reminding his teammates to pay attention and not to miss anyone. Jue Cai, this is the basic operation of the goalkeeper. Well, they also have to remind their teammates from time to time. You also know that the fans’ voices are so loud. The goalkeeper should not speak louder, lest his teammates can’t hear him at all! You see, his teammates didn’t express dissatisfaction either!”

"So that's the case. I understand!" Cai Zhenghua nodded and continued to watch the game.

Zheng Long passed the ball short to Fernandez.

Fernandes sent the ball to Pedro before his opponent came up to press.

Pedro received a pass from his teammate in the frontcourt. He raised his head and looked left and right.Trying to find the right pass.

But this Tenerife player suddenly stepped forward to press, Pedro was startled, he turned around quickly, pulled the ball in front of him, stuck the opponent with his body, and wanted to pass the ball to the midfielder Galareta of.

But what Pedro didn't expect was that this time Tenerife was attacking left and right.

When Pedro stuck Leon with his back, Martin suddenly stepped forward to attack.

The teammates shouted to remind Pedro, but it was too late.

Martin came over from the side, poked the ball away from Pedro's feet with one kick.

Ryan rushed forward immediately and took control of the ball.

Seeing that the ball was lost, Pedro quickly chased after it, as if grabbing the ball back.

But Ryan passed the ball immediately and blew the counterattack horn.

Seeing that Pedro lost the ball, Popovich stomped angrily on the sidelines.

He pointed again, and shouted again.

"Come on, grab the ball back, don't let the opponent advance easily!"

Ryan lobbed the ball directly this time and passed it to No. 9 Ifrane. Ifrane jumped in the air, swung the header and passed it to Aridane.

Galareta went up to block Alidane.Ah Ridane made an inverted pass.

Ifran took the ball, broke through two steps to the left, pulled away Garareta's defense, and suddenly poked.

The ball went straight to the midfield, and Ifran caught Gallareta, he ran forward desperately.

Seeing the opponent dribble past him, Gallareta slowed down significantly.

Anyway, with Zheng Long, he will definitely save the ball.

Why bother chasing so desperately to mark the opponent.

When it's time to attack, you have to sprint forward again.

Running back and forth like this is very hard work.Still save effort!
As for Zheng Long's roar just now?
Galaretta doesn't care at all, he is just a teenager, so what if he is popular with fans?
He still can't control me!

Cabrera didn't keep up, and missed someone again!
At this time, Aridane was running towards the penalty area with his long legs.

This time, Tenerife formed a situation where more players played less.

After receiving the pass, Aridane faced Vallejo's block. He passed the ball back, and he paused, pretending to wait for his teammates.

But when Vallejo also stopped to see who the ball was passing to, Aridane suddenly started and ran towards the penalty area.

As soon as the ball was passed to Ifran's feet, he didn't stop at all, and directly lobbed the ball to the penalty area.

Seeing the opponent's lob, Zheng Long rushed out and rushed to the ball.

Aridane is 1 meters tall and weighs 91 kilograms.

Zheng Long is 1 meters tall and weighs only 9 kilograms.The height is almost the same, but Zheng Long's body is a bit thin.

Zheng Long and Alidane took off almost at the same time and launched a direct confrontation in the air.

After a pair of touches, Aridane's body erupted with strength, and he had the upper hand in the air confrontation, and Zheng Long was almost directly knocked into the air.

The best position was taken by the opponent, Zheng Long did not give up.

I'm the goalie, the one who handles the team's last line of defense.

I can't give up until the last moment.

I want to protect the goal, I want to keep the goal clean.

Zheng Long bit his waist, tensed his body, and pulled his lower body desperately.

Although Zheng Long was a bit weaker in confrontation, he was a goalkeeper.

Where he has an advantage over the opponent is.

He can use both hands.

Seeing that the ball was about to fall, Zheng Long supported the opponent's back with one hand, and punched the ball with a single fist.

boom!
The ball flew out.

Seeing Zheng Long save the team again, Popovich just let go of his anxiety.

In the next second, his heart rose again.

be careful!
Even knowing that the other party couldn't hear him, Popovich couldn't help shouting.

When Zheng Long successfully hit the ball, his ability to stay in the air was better than the opponent's. Aridane even landed, and Zheng Long just started to fall.

With the help of the run-up, Zheng Long jumped nearly one meter high this time.

In order to save the ball, Zheng Long can be said to be riding on the opponent's head.

When Zheng Long fell, Aridane felt his head was pressed.He subconsciously bowed his head.

Now Zheng Long is completely miserable.

Ah!
Zheng Long couldn't help screaming.

From Aridane's body, Zheng Long plunged into the ground.

Zheng Long tried desperately to control his body, but it was so easy in the air.

In the end, Zheng Long could only support the ground with his hands subconsciously, and then rolled to resist the impact.

Zheng Long hit the ground, rolled over, and lay motionless on the ground.

"..."

For a moment, the entire stadium was very quiet, and the players on both sides, including the head coach, stared at Zheng Long who was lying on the ground.

The fans forgot to cheer and stared at Zheng Long holding their breath.

narrator Manolo shouted.

"This time Zaragoza is really bad!"

"Zheng Long was injured. In order to save the ball just now, Zheng Long managed to destroy the ball, but he fell to the ground heavily. I hope he is fine..."

"The game is suspended! The referee hurried up to check on Zheng Long's situation. Ah, Zaragoza's players are signaling the team doctor to come up quickly!"

"The team doctor rushed up with a stretcher!"

……

Popovich was terrified!

He never thought that Zheng Long would be injured.

God, Zheng Long must not get hurt!

My team's gate still needs to be guarded by him!
Popovich was very reluctant to get Zheng Long injured, but he also knew that he was the head coach.

We must consider who should be sent to play once Zheng Long is injured?
Now this lineup is based on Zheng Long's offensive lineup.

If he's injured, can Alcolia do it?
Or Oscar?
But he is afraid that it will be even worse!
Pedro, the core midfielder, was injured. At worst, he would give up the ground organization and play long punches and long hangs. The tactics should be simpler.

Willian Jose is injured, as is Anel Haggic.

Forward Baston is injured, so there is always a way to pass the ball more straight.

Only guards?

They forget it.

With Zheng Long around, I feel that it is enough to lead a dog up there.

Only Zheng Long was injured, no one can replace him at all!
After all the calculations, I never thought that Zheng Long would be injured!
If it weren't for the poor protection in the midfield and the lack of active running, would it have made Zheng Long so hard?

Yes, it was the fault of those bastards!

It's all because I'm usually too kind to them.

Only then will they be relaxed and not active in running.

One after another missed people, out of position, let the opponent hit a single goal.

In the next game, I won't make it easy for these guys.

If anyone doesn't give me a serious effort to defend.

I just let them sit on the bench.

Even if you replace them all, you won't hesitate!

Just when Popovich was determined to clean up the lazy style of his players.

Zheng Long, who had been lying on the ground, stood up with the support of the team doctor.

Popovich suddenly raised his heart.

How is Zheng Long doing now?

Are there any injuries?
