Tang Zhe continuously grabbed the ball's landing point, posing a direct threat to the opponent's rear defensive line. As a striker, Manjukic felt a wave of pressure.
It was very difficult for him to gain even the slightest advantage over Gordin and Miranda's defense during team training, but Tang Zhe managed to grab two landing points in just a few minutes and posed a threat.
If he did not fight back with an outstanding performance, then once the club signed Tang Zhe, his position in the second half of the season would become very awkward.
To be taken over by an 18-year-old youngster would definitely become a laughing stock for the media and fans.
"No! You must perform better!"
Manjukic's running range gradually expanded, and the impact was also very positive. His shooting opportunities began to increase.
Raul Garcia and José Jiménez's ability as a central defender could not be compared to Godin and Miranda's. In addition, Manjukic was active and resourceful, and his teammates began to pass more passes to him.
Unfortunately, Moya's reaction in front of the goal was impeccable. He pounced high to block and did his best to ensure that the goal was not lost.
Simone turned to his assistant, Boggs, and said with a smile,""Mario has become much more proactive."
The fat Boggs laughed as well, his shrewd eyes almost gone."Mario's starting center forward position in the team lacks competitiveness, and Jiménez is still a little immature. If the team has a more competitive striker, I think it will stimulate Mario and Raul's desire to fight!”
"Do you mean that the Chinese players brought by Geraldo are strong enough to stay at Atlético Madrid?”Simone said.
"I think…you think so too, right? Diego?"
Boggs patted Simone's shoulder with his right hand.
Then, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
According to Tang Zhe's performance in the first ten minutes of the first half, it was indeed very good.
He had a very strong ability to take the ball, and he was also good at grabbing points in front of the goal. He was fast, but…he did not know how good his footwork was.
If Tang Zhe's archery skills could be displayed, then…why couldn't they sign him?
……
In the 14th minute of the first half, Manjuki? received Arda Turan's long pass and paused to change the angle of the shot. It was too late for Jiménez to react. Manjuki? shot from about 15 meters on the right side of the penalty area.
Manjukic, who scored the goal, looked at Tang Zhe provocatively, making Tang Zhe speechless.
What does it have to do with me?
However, Tang Zhe thought about it again. Once he passed the trial of Atletti Madrid, Manjukic would be a direct competitor.
But before that, he needed to impress the higher-ups and the coaching staff with goals.
Compete in goals?
Who was afraid of who?
I'm a man with a system!
Manjukic's provocation directly stimulated Tang Zhe's fighting spirit, which the coaching staff did not expect at all.
The lagging side with the kick-off advantage quickly organized a wave of offense. Through a few consecutive passes, the football came to the feet of Tang Zhe, who took the initiative to pull out of the penalty area.
Tang Zhe, who had the talent of a master of ball control, saw that there was no good chance to pass the ball, so he simply pulled the ball and turned to face the goal.
In front of him was Captain Gabriel.
Tang Zhe pulled out of the penalty area, and the two wingers, Christian Rodriguez and Saoul, habitually inserted two ribs diagonally, causing Gabriel's attention to lean towards Saoul, who was inserted forward.
Saoul, who was about to turn twenty, was a versatile player with a strong impact that could not be underestimated. Hence, Gabriel had to multitask.
At this moment, Tang Zhe had a flash of inspiration. He lifted his right leg to pass the ball to Saur, who was in front of him. He tricked Gabriel into shifting his center of gravity to the left and raised his right leg to intercept. He tried to block Tang Zhe's pass to Saur, but Tang Zhe did not choose to pass the ball. Instead, he quickly retracted his right foot and suddenly used the inside of his foot to buckle the ball to the left. He started on the spot.
Speed Card activated!
"So fast!"
It wasn't that Gabriel wasn't fast, but Tang Zhe was even faster!
Tang Zhe passed the ball and broke through in the opposite direction of Gabriel's movement. Facing Godin, he did not panic and continued to ride his bike unhurriedly under Arda Turan's help in defense.
As the distance between them became smaller and smaller, Gordin and Arda Turan looked at each other and dropped to the ground at the same time.
Simone, who was watching the game from the technical area, shook his head helplessly. Tang Zhe was still too young and liked to stick to the ball.
If they could see Saoul running, the threat of the football passing over would be even greater.
If nothing unexpected happened, Godin and Arda Turan could stop the football when they shoveled at the same time.
However, no one expected that Tang Zhe would suddenly clamp the football with two feet at the top of the penalty area arc. Then he bent his knees and jumped, jumping over the interception of Arda Turan and Godin who had fallen to the ground to shovel, and entered the penalty area.
"Blanc Frog Jump!"
Simone and Boggs exclaimed at the same time.
Miranda did not expect Tang Zhe to dribble the ball into the penalty area from Arda Turan and Godin's defense, so her reaction was slow by half a beat. Tang Zhe did not give him a chance to come up. After landing, he swung his right foot. It was too late for Oblak to abandon the goal and attack.
Tang Zhe kicked the football with the arch of his right foot. The football rolled quickly to the lower right corner of the goal along the turf.
Oblak reacted very quickly. He dove down, but the football moved faster against the turf. His fingertips were less than a centimeter away from the football.
It was also from this one centimeter distance that Tang Zhe's shot was able to break the goal and help his side equalize the score.
“Oh-My-God!!”Fatty Boggs 'eyes widened."What an unbelievable performance!"
Then, he pulled Simone and said excitedly,""Diego, this Chinese guy is awesome! We must convince the higher-ups to sign him!"
Simone smiled and nodded, but his smile quickly disappeared. He said calmly,""I think Dunn can perform even better, so we have to pretend to be very calm, understand?”
Boggs rolled his eyes at Simone, but he also felt that Simone's words made sense. He couldn't be too excited, lest the young man became too complacent.
As soon as he finished speaking, Simone took two steps forward and roared crazily at the players on the field,"Are you guys still asleep? How could he be allowed to take the ball so easily in front of the penalty area and break into the penalty area? With this kind of performance, don't expect to defend the La Liga title!”
In a corner where no one could see, Fatty Boggs secretly gave Simone a thumbs up.
