Compared with Chiellini's growth, the other two Juventus central defenders grew up in blood and tears.
Among them, Barzagli’s growth makes me cry when I talk about it.
In the early days, Barzagli played relatively smoothly. When he played as a central defender in Palermo, he performed very well and was successfully selected for the Italian national team.
However, in the 2008 European Cup, he replaced the injured Cannavaro, but was defeated by the Netherlands with 3 goals. His repeated mistakes and mistakes made Lippi, the then national team coach, abandon him.
Then Barzagli left for the Bundesliga. After joining Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, his form continued to decline. Later, he could not even play as a substitute. Finally, he was bought by Juventus for a mere 300,000 euros.
You must know that a worth of 300,000 euros is the worth of the lowest-level professional player in Europe.
Even in the half-season when he returned to Juventus, Barzagli was synonymous with pitfalls on the pitch. He would either fall off the top and be beaten from behind, or trick the goalkeeper into receiving a red card. Anyway, it was always a trick.
But Barzagli, who was gradually tricked out, made great progress. While helping Juventus win the Serie A championship, he was also selected for the Italian national team again, and in the 2012 European Cup, he was the Italian national team member.
The main center back of the national team, he went all the way to the finals with the team, but lost to Spain in the end.
At this time he was already 31 years old.
These two central defenders are pitiful enough, but the most pitiful one is Bonucci, who is known as "Bonucci the striker and Amauri the iron guard".
A central defender is nicknamed the divine striker, and his performance can be imagined.
At the beginning, Bonucci was sold half of the ownership by Inter Milan to Treviso of Serie B for 500 euros. This price is embarrassing to say.
After showing some form and being selected for the national team, he was sold to Juventus.
Bonucci and Chiellini, who have the aura of potential new stars, formed the starting central defenders and are highly anticipated by fans.
Therefore, during the game, fans could frequently see Bonucci going one-on-one with the opponent. A "rookie" central defender who had not played in Serie A for a few years was ruthlessly teased and taught by various veterans of Serie A.
Among the top ten goals every week, as long as the target of the goal involves Juventus, Bonucci always unfortunately becomes the background. Failed to tackle, missed tackles, was passed, coupled with own goals, Bonucci can almost do everything.
”.
Fans are becoming more and more dissatisfied with Bonucci. As soon as Bonucci gets the ball, boos are everywhere, and there are calls for Bonucci to get out and get off the field. When it comes to backing up, fans will even ask why every time
Is it all you?
Striker Bonucci, together with defender Amauri, is known as the Juventus duo. They are as famous as AC Milan's Bonella, who also performed poorly. It is common for Bonucci to kneel or lie on the ground in frustration and annoyance.
fragment.
Later, Bonucci was completely pushed to the bench until the arrival of head coach Conte.
Conte specially arranged three central defenders to adapt to Bonucci's style of play. Even so, Bonucci still made the most mistakes among the three defenders. However, Conte used the people he used without doubt and insisted on training Bonucci.
.
At the same time, in the training of each game, even if he was screwed up, the big brother Buffon behind him never complained and would continue to encourage and comfort Bonucci.
This allowed Bonucci to become a true "divine striker" on the back line - as one of the starting points for the team's backcourt offense, Bonucci gradually became more involved in the offense, making long passes to assist.
, more and more headers were scored, and there were even occasional earth-shattering long-range shots.
Therefore, it can be said that any central defender, as long as he is not a top talent like Baresi or Nesta, was born through abuse.
The setbacks Du Zhenyu has encountered now are nothing compared to these people. What Zhang Sheng has to do now is to be another Conte.
In order to speed up Du Zhenyu's growth, Zhang Sheng specially adjusted the system and used the advanced player growth accelerator on him.
Just after using the accelerating charm on Du Zhenyu, the system suddenly gave a new task prompt - don't abandon, don't give up.
This mission was specifically aimed at Du Zhenyu's training.
In the description of the task, Zhang Sheng can use non-potential pill task items to accelerate Du Zhenyu's growth. Once his performance on the field can be recognized by the system, his potential value will be increased, and his ability value will also be greatly improved.
growth.
And after completing the task, you can also get three advanced player growth accelerators and a high-level potential pill. Zhang Sheng's skill Youth Friends will also be upgraded from level 2 to level 3.
This task does not have a limited dead time, but the system prompts that the sooner it is recognized, the higher the potential value will be.
Zhang Sheng happily accepted this task, which was entirely about assigning points. At this time, Zhang Sheng truly realized the benefits of the system.
Therefore, amidst the doubts from the outside world, it was natural that Du Zhenyu appeared in the AFC Champions League again. This time the Longteng team's opponent was Gamba Osaka.
As a team that has already qualified, the Longteng team has arranged a lot of substitute players to play this time, especially on the two wings. Yu Bo is on the left, Zhu Xuhe is on the right, and Yao Tian is on the center. This is equivalent to
Ranked the offensive frontcourt of the all-China class.
Of course, in the midfielder position, the absolute main players Lin Feng and Rock Gill still play together to ensure the organizational ability and defensive strength of the Longteng team's midfield.
When the starting lineup of the Longteng team came out, everyone was really shocked. No matter which team played in the AFC Champions League before, no one would field such a young and substitute lineup. Except for Roque Gill, the whole team
There are 1 foreign players and the rest are all domestic players.
This lineup also has an advantage, that is, it provides cover for Du Zhenyu's appearance. With a bunch of substitute players, Du Zhenyu's appearance no longer seems so abrupt.
On the contrary, Gamba Osaka, which now has 4 points and is desperate to qualify, has fielded its full lineup. However, Gamba Osaka, which does not rely much on foreign aid, only has one foreign aid in its lineup - forward Patrick.
Before the game, their Kenta Hasegawa also expressed his goal of winning three points: "In the first round, because it was the beginning of the J-League, the players were not in their best condition yet. Now we are gradually getting better.
We are in a good situation, so we have no excuses for tomorrow's game. Although it is an away game, we must win."
Kenta Hasegawa has his own confidence in saying these words. Gamba Osaka is currently ranked second in the J-League. The team's top star Takashi Usami leads the J-League's scorer list with 7 goals. Faced with a substitute lineup
If the Longteng team can't win this game, they won't play the next AFC Champions League game.
After the game started, Gamba Osaka launched a wave of attacks. As the absolute bridgehead on the front line, Patrick firmly supported the frontcourt and played a fulcrum role for Gamba Osaka.
As the Longteng team's defender, Du Zhenyu, who is responsible for competing for high balls, became the player who faced off against Patrick the most.
As a player with a height of 1.88 meters, Du Zhenyu's golf confrontation ability is still very strong, but after all, there is really no advantage in terms of race. As a black man, Patrick is 1.89 meters tall and weighs nearly 170
Duojin, his impact ability is really too strong.
After all, Du Zhenyu was inexperienced. When there was a certain gap in weight, he did not think of using other methods to make up for it, but went head-to-head with his opponent.
With Du Zhenyu's physical condition, he can indeed barely hold on, but it is difficult to tell when a mistake will occur, and such a defensive method will make him very tired. Whether he can last the entire game is also a big problem.
Throughout the first half, the game between both sides was very exciting. As two teams that use pass-and-control tactics, the cooperation between the two sides on the court was very beautiful.
Although Patrick was severely restricted by Du Zhenyu on Gamba Osaka's side, the midfielder with Yasuhito Endo as the core still created a lot of opportunities. However, the defensive line composed of Ma Yongli, Zhou Wei, Zhou Zhou, and Wei Zhimin performed well.
It was very good. Many of Gamba Osaka's shots basically came from the outside, and there were few opportunities to break into the penalty area.
Although the two wingers of the Longteng team are weaker in technical ability, they are stronger physically. Both Yu Bo and Zhu Xuhe are players with strong impact. In addition, Lin Feng is dispatched in the middle, and Yao Tian is extremely skilled at the feet.
, Nie Jiang, who is very smart in his forward positioning, also put Gamba Osaka's defense to a lot of tests.
In the end, the score between the two sides in the first half ended at 0:0.
During the halftime break, Kenta Hasegawa asked the team to change their tactics. Instead of just using the high ball to make Patrick transition, let him use his speed to make breakthroughs.
This is also the difference between black players and many domestic players. Their muscle type can not only support their strong confrontation ability, but also their flexibility is extremely outstanding. They are tall and tall and often have good speed, which makes them
One more powerful weapon.
In the second half, Patrick's speed put Du Zhenyu at a disadvantage. Du Zhenyu, who thought the opponent would still fight him physically, was overtaken by Patrick's beautiful acceleration.
The breakthrough of the central defender meant that the goal would be under great threat. Sure enough, Patrick, who successfully overtook the overtake, passed the ball to Takashi Usami, who stepped in. The latter made a beautiful shovel and shot, turning the score into 0:1.
, the Longteng team fell behind in their home court.
Shao Shengyi, who commented on this game, also shook his head and said: "Du Zhenyu's defense was a bit too careless this time. He should not have been passed so easily in the penalty area. He should have blocked the opponent's position."
Du Zhenyu, who lost the ball due to his own mistakes, also began to reflect on his defensive methods. He was extremely cautious in the next game. Patrick tried to use his speed to break through many times, but was stuck by Du Zhenyu.
position, and did not give him a chance to play again.
In the 32nd minute of the second half, the Longteng team scored. This time, Yu Bo from the left used his strong body to squeeze out the opponent's defense, and then cooperated with Lin Feng. After Yao Tian received the two of them,
After passing the vacated ball continuously, he suddenly smashed the ball and changed direction to pass the opponent's defensive midfielder. Finally, Yao Tian's pass created an opportunity for Nie Jiang. Nie Jiang did not waste this opportunity. He was better than Japan.
As a much stronger player, he leaned on the Japanese defender and turned around to volley without stopping the ball, turning the score into 1:1.
Seeing this goal, Shao Shengyi shouted loudly: "Nie Jiang's shot was so beautiful, the ball went in. This 17-year-old youngster once again scored a goal in the AFC Champions League. This is his AFC Champions League goal."
The number has reached 7. This is an amazing statistic. My God, at such an age and with such performance, I can no longer describe his future in words."
After scoring the goal, Nie Jiang became the king of the entire Jiangcheng Sports Center. The fans in the audience shouted Nie Jiang's name in unison, and his teammates also surrounded him. Captain Lin Feng put his arms around his shoulders and greeted him with a smile.
praise.
Du Zhenyu, who was standing in the backcourt, was also smiling. His teammates finally got the game back on track. But while he was happy, Du Zhenyu's heart was also full of envy.
As a player, who doesn’t want to be recognized by others? Who doesn’t want to be the center of attention?
Unfortunately, as a central defender, this is too difficult.
Being able to carefully avoid a mistake and being able to block an opponent's shot breathlessly is just their job in the eyes of many fans.
With Nie Jiang's goal, the morale of the Longteng team playing at home was greatly boosted. In the following games, Lin Feng led the offense in the midfield.
Gamba Osaka, who was eager to overtake, also let go of his defense and attacked with all his strength. Therefore, Nie Jiang got a lot of good opportunities in the frontcourt. Yao Tian, a player who is strong in offense and defense in defense, also played in this open style of play.
Seems like a fish in water.
Shao Shengyi praised the two of them many times in the commentary.
It's a pity that Nie Jiang is still young after all and lacks the ability to seize opportunities, so he failed to score again.
Corresponding to this was Du Zhenyu's embarrassing performance on the defensive line. After the whole game, the new jersey he just changed into in the midfield was extremely dirty. It was all sweat, marks blocking the gun holes and rubbing on the turf.
as a result of.
In the end, the game ended in a draw with a score of 1:1, and the Longteng team also confirmed its first place in the group.
At the end of the game, Shao Shengyi concluded: "The young players of the Longteng team gave us a wonderful game today. Nie Jiang, a talented player, shined again. He made the opponent's defense in a panic. If it weren't for Du Zhenyu in the backcourt
With one mistake, the Longteng team is likely to win this game with an all-Chinese offensive lineup. I hope these young people can perform better in the future."
Shao Shengyi's words are exactly what many fans want to say. In their opinion, the draw of the Longteng team is really a pity.
