atypical center forward

Chapter 59
The home stadium of the Barcelona B team is not far from Camp Nou, the home stadium of the first team. Perhaps for the young people of the B team, the biggest career dream is to become the king of the Camp Nou from the star of the mini stadium. However, after all, there can only be one king who succeeds in every generation.

"The players from both sides have entered the field and the game is about to start. The biggest highlight of this game is the duel between the two super shooters Angel and Chu. Chu has scored 17 goals in eight games since joining Valencia. Among them, he sat on the bench in one game and was a substitute in two games. None of the other 17 goals was a penalty. He has already created a miracle of six goals in a single game. Second goal record."

"Sayer is the crown prince of Barcelona. He has scored 26 goals this season. With [-] games left in the league, he is very likely to break the league's single-season scoring record. If the team's defense is not so bad, Barcelona B team should have reached the top position."

"Let's see who sits in the stands. That's Barcelona's coach, Mr. Pestani. Is he here to inspect Thayer? Recently, Barcelona has been enjoying great success in La Liga, closely chasing Real Madrid. Luis Lua, who joined in the middle of the season, hardly needed any time to adapt to the team. He contributed a terrible ten assists and four goals in eight games, but we all know that Lua is a No. 9 and a half. At the front, the Black Panthers were originally the best candidate, but unfortunately the Cameroonian is now having an unpleasant fight with the team because of the salary increase issue, and he seems to think that he is the boss of the team, and he is very dissatisfied with Lua who just joined, although Lua has already sent him four assists, so I think Mr. Pestani should make up his mind as soon as possible to clean up Cameroon’s No. 9 and bring our young Angel to the Nou Camp. To be honest, that is his stage.”

It's obviously a game in the Second Division, but the topic of the commentary is always about La Liga and Barcelona. The world-class giants have this kind of influence, and they can't accept it.

There are more than 5000 seats in the mini stadium. Although it is only the match between No.5 and No.3, it has received more attention than the match between the top two. This is the appeal of the stars.

That's right, Chu Yang can barely be called a star player, with six goals in a single game, unprecedented scorpion tail swings, sky-defying arcs, and super long-range shots that are highly entertaining. His popularity is rising at an unexpected speed. Chinese fans all over Spain know that the Chinese player who was depressed in Deportivo is now doing well in the Second Division. Every game of his game, local overseas Chinese come to the scene to support him.

At the start of the game, Valencia kicked off first, but what was different from usual was that Chu Yang, who was supposed to stand in the middle circle to serve, stood outside the middle circle, which puzzled Milk and Hugo who were sitting in the studio explaining the game.

"What happened? Chu didn't serve in the middle circle as usual. Could it be that he didn't play the center forward position he is familiar with in this game?" Milk exclaimed, "Gressel is crazy?"

Gressel was really about to go crazy, because he didn't know what Chu Yang was doing again.

Chu Yang didn't know that his unintentional action caused so many people to make a fuss. He just quickly made a few steps in place to adjust his state to the best. Barcelona's field captain Iker raised his hand to Batra who was in charge of defending Chu Yang, reminding him to be optimistic about Chu Yang. He thought that Chu Yang would launch a sneak attack at the beginning of the game.

Iker guessed the result correctly, but didn't guess the process. Chu Yang did launch a sneak attack, but he didn't sprint to the frontcourt and wait for the pass at the beginning as he imagined. Instead, when the ball just slipped into Barcelona's half, he took a long shot directly towards the football.

The audience was in an uproar, and many fans who were still looking for seats were attracted by the exclamation from the side, and looked towards the stadium one after another.

I saw the football flying high and quickly falling towards the Barcelona goal, which startled the Barcelona goalkeeper, who was a little far away from the goal, and hurriedly backed away while watching the incoming ball.

"The Chinese shoot directly after the kick-off! He's too daring!"

The sound of the live commentary had just fallen, the football had finished falling, and the goalkeeper did not touch the ball.

The Valencia fans cheered loudly. Although the goalkeeper missed the ball, the ball actually missed the crossbar and landed on the net at the top of the goal. It looked like it went in.

"Goal! Goal...wait a minute, no goal, no goal, the football is a little behind, and it didn't fly into the goal."

There was a sigh of regret in the stands, and then applause for Chu Yang.

The way the Barcelona players looked at Chu Yang changed, and they all thought that the goal had been scored. Is it stupid or a real skill?

Pustani, who was sitting in the stands, had his eyes lit up and asked his assistant, "Who is that No. 9?"

The assistant said: "Yang Chu, that Chinese from La Coruña, he came to Valencia."

Seeing that they were interested in Chu Yang, the Barcelona scouts who accompanied him on the other side hurriedly introduced: "Actually, we are planning to focus on him. This Chinese is very weird. He has exploded since the No. 17 round of La Liga. He has scored goals in eight consecutive games. He also has a variety of scoring methods. He is best at long-range shots and free kicks. In addition..."

Pustani interrupted him and said, "Can't adapt to La Liga?"

"Correct."

"It's a pity." Pustani didn't ask any further questions after finishing speaking, and at the same time removed Chu Yang from his watch list.

Since it has been proven that he cannot play in La Liga, so what if he performs well in La Liga.

Barcelona's goal kick was taken by the home team's midfielder and distributed to Iker.

As the core of the midfield, Iker and Moya have somewhat different styles.

Both are technical midfielders with excellent skills, vision, passing and ball control, but with slightly different emphases.

Moya prefers to break through with the ball, relying on his individual ability to mess up the opponent's midfield and then make a deadly pass. His teammates often just serve as a foil or help him attract defensive players, do some wall-slamming coordination, etc. His organizational ability is actually not strong.

Iker's style of play is much more mature. Although there are some personal escapes and breakthroughs with the ball, his preferred trick is to pass the ball. A simple pass with one or two kicks can often sort out the chaotic midfield in an orderly manner.

Of course, the difference in the playing style of the core players is also related to the team style, teammate ability, etc. It cannot be said who is better and who is worse, only who is more suitable.

Iker was quick to demonstrate just how well suited he was to La Masia's style.
