"Hey, guys, come here."
When all the players arrived at the First Team's training ground, the assistant manager, Winsue, called the players to the technical area.
Although Enrique's coaching reputation was not very big, and his popularity was not as high as many of the Barcelona players present, Enrique was the captain of Barcelona during the player era and played for Barcelona for more than 300 games.
Previously, when Guardiola was in charge of Barcelona's First Team, he had taken over the coaching of Barcelona's B team, so he had a better understanding of the First Team players. The atmosphere in the locker room was not bad, even if the team's performance at the start of the new season was not very good.
"Today's training content is very simple. After a simple ball training, there will be a match and a 40-minute match in the second half.”Enrique paused and pointed at Tang Zhe."This is Dunn from China. He's a striker and will be playing this game with you.”
It was only then that everyone came to a realization.
It turned out that Tang Zhe was here for a trial.
However, many people scoffed when they heard Enrique mention " Huaxia." Baltra, Suárez, and Munir could not help but snort.
It was well known that Barcelona's stable starting strikers were Suez, Messi, and Neymar, who were about to be released from the ban. The other strikers were substitutes. If Tang Zhe stayed on the team through trial training, the competition would be even more intense.
However, when he thought about how Tang Zhe was Chinese, Munir let out a sigh of relief.
Chinese people can play football?
At most, they would be trial players sent by the Su Ning Group, which had reached a sponsorship agreement with Barcelona this summer.
Tang Zhe turned a blind eye to the Barcelona players 'complicated gazes and adjusted his mentality.
In his opinion, this trial match was a game about his future, and he could not afford to lose!
Barcelona's First Team had a total of twenty-six players. Excluding Vermaelen, Mascherano, Alberto, and Alves, who were recovering from their injuries, there were twenty-two players left.
The twenty-two players were just enough for the two teams, but the third goalkeeper, Masip, could not meet the tactical requirements in terms of technical ability, so Tang Zhe filled in the position and was arranged to be the substitute striker.
Wearing a yellow vest to symbolize the main force, the team consisted of goalkeeper Mario Polo, defenders Alba, Pique, Baltra, and Adrian, midfielders Niesta, Busquets, and Rakhic, and strikers Messi, Suáres, and Neymar.
Substitute goalkeeper Ter Stegen, defenders Douglas, Mathieu, Rafinha and Montoya, midfielders Xavi, Diagne and Samper, strikers Munir, Tang Zhe and Pedro.
In terms of personnel allocation, the main force wearing yellow vests had an absolute advantage.
It was precisely because of this that if the substitutes wanted to threaten the position of the main players, they had to show their strength when they were weaker, thus increasing their position in the head coach Enrique's mind.
"Come on, Dunn. I believe you can do it.”
After dividing the teams, Louis da Silva patted Tang Zhe's shoulder to encourage him.
It was not easy for Luís da Silva to convince the club's sports department and Enrique to arrange a trial match in just two days. If Tang Zhe's performance did not meet expectations, then his work at Barcelona would come to an end.
The only thing that could alleviate this situation was Tang Zhe's outstanding performance and his ability to convince Enrique and the club's top management.
The 40-minute trial match in the first and second half was equally important to Tang Zhe, because the 10-day deadline for the mission was approaching.
Although Tang Zhe was not familiar with Louis da Silva, in a sense, Louis da Silva was Tang Zhe's talent and a bridge to success. In other words, Tang Zhe and Louis da Silva had the same goal.
"I will definitely be in my best form and stay in Barcelona!”
Tang Zhe patted his chest and said.
Before the match began, both sides had about twenty minutes to prepare.
Tang Zhe was doing a simple warm-up like the other players. Suddenly, Baltra walked to the side and said sarcastically,""Chinese people, football is not suitable for you. Don't embarrass yourself. The best football club in the world!”
"Oh."
Tang Zhe glanced at Bartra, then looked away and continued warming up.
Baltra was very angry at Tang Zhe's disregard. His low voice was filled with killing intent."Chinese, you will pay for your arrogance!”
Tang Zhe didn't even raise his head. He only said," Oh."
"Damned Chinese, you will regret this!”Bartra looked at Tang Zhe's back and growled.
In order to perform well in the next 40 minutes, Tang Zhe warmed up very seriously. His rigor attracted the attention of Barcelona's star player, Messi.
For some reason, the superstar in everyone's hearts, Leo Messi, took the initiative to walk towards Tang Zhe. When he smiled, he looked like an ordinary neighbor."Hey, Chinese, can you understand Spanish?”
"Uh ~ No ~"
Tang Zhe was obviously flattered by Messi's initiative to talk to him. After a while, he said,"I understand! I understand!"
"Don't be nervous. Just perform well and treat it as a very ordinary competition.”Messi placed his right hand on Tang Zhe's right shoulder.""Fight to stay in the great Barcelona!”
"I will!"
Tang Zhe said firmly.
Twenty minutes of preparation time passed in the blink of an eye. The main team and the substitutes were led by the head coach Enrique and the assistant coach Winsoue respectively. They gathered their respective players to carry out simple tactical arrangements before the game.
Due to the huge difference in strength, the tactics of the substitutes were quite simple. They focused on defense and counterattacked.
Tang Zhe was the target of this training session, so what he had to do was very simple. He had to be at the front of the forward line and act as a counterattack point.
Of course, if he wanted to stay in Barcelona, Tang Zhe had to score.
In order to become a professional player, Tang Zhe also had to score goals!
The only way to prove a striker's ability was to score goals.
