The green devil

Peilan looked at Zhao Yang, whatever he looked at was pleasing to the eye.

After entering the door, he warmly gave Zhao Yang a hug.

"Zhao! Nice to see you again! How are you resting these days?"

"It's okay, okay, thank you for your concern." Zhao Yang replied, and gave up his seat with the three coaches and Liu Translator.

Perrin sighed and said, "You have worked so hard this season. You were supposed to rest for a few more days, but the time is too tight. On the 3rd, you will play a warm-up match against Trinidad and Tobago. You can't do it without you."

Zhao Yang said with a smile: "Coach, I have already rested one day more than other teammates. For the sake of the country, I can persevere."

Perrin said: "I came here to talk to you about the top 12 and your position in the team."

Zhao Yang didn't speak, and listened quietly to Pei Lan's explanation.

Perrin said: "The opponents in the top 12 are much stronger than the top 40, especially South Korea and Iran. These two teams are stronger than us. If you play against them, if you play as a striker, you probably won't get much. Opportunity, so, after discussion with the coaching staff, we hope that your position can be retreated and play a midfielder position, so that you can help your teammates control the midfield, and you can also go forward and shoot."

Assistant coach Jahan said: "You have autonomy in the frontcourt, and you can choose to attack and defend according to the situation on the court."

Among the Spaniards, Zhao Yang's position is actually not static.

When encountering a team with a strong midfielder, Zhao Yang sometimes retreats to help Asensio control the midfielder.

Obviously, Perrin had studied the Espanyol game, so Zhao Yang was asked to retreat and play the midfielder, or the second striker.

Zhao Yang was very willing to accept this request, saying: "It's no problem, I've played before, even if I'm allowed to play in midfield."

Assistant coach Jia Han hurriedly said: "That can't be done. It's a waste if you play in the midfield. You must not retreat too far. You are a striker, and the Huaguo team still needs you to score goals."

Perrin said: "We may not have many opportunities, and your task of scoring goals is difficult."

Zhao Yang smiled and said: "It's not difficult, just get one more than the opponent."

Perrin said with a smile: "Then the defender's task is arduous."

Zhao Yang smiled and said: "It's not heavy, there is also a goalkeeper to help them."

Pei Lan and the teaching assistant laughed. They thought Hua people were serious and lacked a sense of humor, but Zhao Yang liked to joke.

The rest of the conversation was much more relaxed. Pei Lan and Zhao Yang chatted about the Espanyol team and the European League, and then talked about the Chinese Super League and the upcoming top 12 match, and then left with two assistants in satisfaction.

After Pei Lan left, the team leader, business officer, and press officer all came to Zhao Yang's room to sit and chat for a while.

Finally Zheng Zhi and Gao Lin came over and asked Zhao Yang to have dinner together.

The restaurant is on the second floor, buffet.

Zhao Yang sat with Zheng Zhi, Hao Jun, and Feng Xiaoting, the core players of the team, while the other players were scattered in other places.

Halfway through the meal, a handsome young player came in, picked up a tray and ordered dishes, and was about to find a table to eat. When he saw the table of Zheng Zhi and Zhao Yang, the handsome player's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the tray and left come over.

"Brother Zhi, can I sit here?"

Zheng Zhi waved his hand and said, "This is not my house, so sit where you want."

The handsome guy sat down beside Zhao Yang, and said casually: "You are brother Yang, you finally met the real God today."

"You're welcome, I'm Zhao Yang." Zhao Yang said in his heart, this kid is a bit socially obsessive.

Zheng Zhi looked at Zhao Yang with some doubts, and said, "This kid is Zhang Ning. He is only 19 years old. You are a die-hard fan. He is now playing football in the Netherlands. Which team is he from? Zhang Ning."

Zhang Ning said: "Weiters, Brother Zhi, your memory is really bad. You have said it several times, but you still can't remember."

Zheng Zhi smiled and said, "Brother Zhi, I'm old, I'm already 36, I'll play as an assistant in this competition, it's up to you whether you can qualify."

Zhang Ning said with a smile: "Brother Zhi is the same as Ronaldo, his physique is different from ordinary people, and he is still in his prime. I am here to make soy sauce this year. I will be so happy to learn something from Brother Yang."

Zheng Zhi said with a smile: "You want to be beautiful. When the national team is a school, you have to make contributions when you come in. I also want to retire and go to the World Cup."

Zhang Ning said: "Brother Zhi can't retire, our national team still needs you to take care of the field."

Zhao Yang said with a smile: "In the next World Cup, Brother Zhi is only 40. How can he retire? Matthaus played until he was 42."

Zheng Zhi shook his head sadly, and said, "I wanted to quit a long time ago, but I just played football all my life and never made it to the World Cup, so I'm not willing."

Feng Xiaoting sighed and said, "After finishing this qualifier, I should retire too. If I can't get in this time, I will only have regrets for the rest of my life."

Zhang Ning said: "Brother Zhi, Brother Feng, don't be so pessimistic, okay, we have Brother Yang this year, I'm sure we will qualify."

Zheng Zhi patted Zhang Ning on the head, "Do you regard your brother Yang as a god? Can he still do all the work of forwards, defenders and midfielders?"

Hao Jundao: "What Brother Zhi said is, Zhang Ning, you can't just think about studying, you have to help Brother Yang, if you can't score a goal, you have to block someone or tear apart a defender."

Feng Xiaoting said: "You also have to learn to return to defense."

Zhang Ning said with a wry smile: "Brothers, I'm afraid I haven't had the chance to play yet, how can I help Brother Yang."

Zheng Zhidao: "If you are not allowed to play, why did the coach bring you here? Tomorrow's warm-up match, you have to perform well. If you can score a goal and win Perrin's trust, you will definitely have a chance to play later."

Zhang Ning said with a shy smile: "This is the first time for me to join the national team. If you guys don't help me and create opportunities for me, how can I score goals?"

Zheng Zhi smiled and said: "As long as you are so good at flattering, can we help you? This warm-up match, in addition to finding an imaginary enemy, is to test you newcomers, especially you. However, no matter how good the opportunity is, we must Only if you catch it, if you don't catch it, you will be blind."

This time Perrin recruited 4 newcomers, but Zhang Ning was the focus of inspection.

In this training camp, Pei Lan brought a total of 5 forwards, Zhao Yang, Wu Lei, Yang Xu, Zhang Ning, Gao Lin.

With so many strikers, it also shows that the focus of Perrin's training camp this time is to build a striker.

First, Pei Lan hoped to find a better partner for Zhao Yang.

Second, Peilan hopes that when Zhao Yang retreats, the striker can still put pressure on the opponent's defense.

Third, Perrin also wants to try the combination of three forwards.

Although Hua Guo team's midfield strength is a bit overwhelming to play three forwards, but when they are behind, sometimes they can only play more forwards to fight for their lives.

These, as the captain of the team, Zheng Zhi is of course very clear.

Although Zhang Ning is a newcomer, he is smart, will come to trouble, and is a good football player. Zheng Zhi really wants to help him. Otherwise, with Zheng Zhi's status, he would not say a word to this kid at all.
