I am the Coach of the National Youth Team

Chapter 57 - First Show in Portugal

It hasn't been long since the game started, but Zhao Wenchao sat in the locker room without any expression on his face.

Before the start of the game, Zhao Wenchao discovered that the main central defender was not included in the squad, which also meant that there was one less starting central defender. Zhao Wenchao wondered in his heart whether he would start.

But Zhao Wenchao soon woke up. The position of central defender still needs experience. Zhao Wenchao knew that with his qualifications, he would definitely not get the chance to start. It should be other central defenders.

But not long ago, Victor announced the starting roster, and Zhao Wenchao got the chance to start.

Zhao Wenchao was shocked by the news, Zhao Wenchao sat on the seat with a dazed look, his mind was confused.

At this time, a black man came over. He was the team's main striker, Fidelis, and the most valuable player in Portimão.

"Huaxia boy, don't be nervous! I look forward to your performance!" Fidelis patted Zhao Wenchao on the shoulder, said to Zhao Wenchao, and left the locker room after speaking.

The game started soon. If you go to see Zhao Wenchao, you can clearly feel that Zhao Wenchao is very nervous at the moment, and he feels great pressure.

Victor also saw Zhao Wenchao's nervousness, and couldn't help frowning, and then began to regret it.

"What the hell was I thinking! Why did I let a young player start!" Victor muttered silently.

Victor seemed to have seen the future. Zhao Wenchao became a loophole in the team's defense and was pierced by the opponent time and time again. In the end, the team lost to the opponent.

After the start of the game, goalkeeper Ferreira and veteran central defender Nigaul kept communicating with Zhao Wenchao.

"Zhao! Don't lose your position, just like during training!" Ni Gaolu said to Zhao Wenchao.

As the game progressed, Zhao Wenchao calmed down completely and began to get into the game.

But unfortunately, in the 18th minute of the game, Sporting Portugal scored the first goal. The midfielder Yaya took a long shot, crossed an arc and flew into the goal. Sporting Portugal led 1-0.

Li Long came to the scene for this game and watched the game live. When Li Long saw Zhao Wenchao starting, he was really shocked, and then he was glad that he came to the scene.

The conceded goal this time has nothing to do with Zhao Wenchao, but Zhao Wenchao still blames himself very much. If Zhao Wenchao can switch defenses, maybe he can block the kick with his body and hit the goal.

The game continued, Sporting Portugal launched an attack again, the opponent's left winger broke into the penalty area with the ball, Zhao Wenchao hurried forward.

Seeing this, the opponent wanted a two-for-one cooperation. After the football was passed to the teammates who came over, they ran straight to the depths.

At this time, Zhao Wenchao turned to the player who received the ball, but he passed the ball suddenly, stuffed the football deep into the penalty area, and wanted to pass it back to his teammates.

In fact, Zhao Wenchao had already guessed the opponent's cooperation. Zhao Wenchao rushed towards the playing football, ran two steps and fell to the ground with a shovel, and then shoveled towards the football.

The football slowly rolled towards the goalkeeper Ferreira. Because Zhao Wenchao deliberately weakened the strength of his feet, the speed of the ball was very slow. Seeing this, Ferreira easily hugged the football.

This is a perfect defense, not only preventing the opponent's extremely threatening attack, but also keeping the ball at his feet.

Seeing Zhao Wenchao's performance, Victor slightly raised his right eyebrow. Zhao Wenchao's performance changed him, and the previous self-denial no longer existed.

In the 35th minute, Fernandinho, the midfielder of the Portimão, helped the Portimão equalize the score, and the game returned to the starting point.

Soon the first half of the game was over, Zhao Wenchao walked out of the court with his head down, because Zhao Wenchao saw Li Long by chance before, and knew that Li Long came to watch the game.

Although Zhao Wenchao thought that his performance was okay, facing Li Long, Zhao Wenchao was still a bit hypocritical, and didn't dare to look at Li Long at all.

During the intermission, head coach Victor arranged tactics, and then Victor looked at Zhao Wenchao.

"Zhao, you performed very well in the first half, and I hope you can maintain this performance in the second half." Victor praised Zhao Wenchao's performance.

"Thank you coach! I will continue to work hard!"

Zhao Wenchao has been learning Portuguese for the past six months. Although he is not very proficient, there is no problem with basic conversations.

Zhao Wenchao did not expect that coach Victor would praise himself, which made Zhao Wenchao full of fighting spirit.

The second half of the game started quickly. After the second half, Zhao Wenchao became more active on the defensive end. Like a gate, Zhao Wenchao blocked the opponent's attack several times.

The audience saw Zhao Wenchao's performance, and the fans applauded every time.

Head coach Victor's eyes lit up. Unlike the fans, Victor is a professional. He can see how good Zhao Wenchao is. Zhao Wenchao's role is far from enough, several beautiful defenses.

"The team has such an excellent central defender, why did I know!" Victor said silently, which made Victor decide that if he had time, he must go to the echelon to investigate.

At the 75th minute, Portimão's striker Nigaul scored another goal to help Portimao overtake the score. Portimão led Sporting Portugal 2-1.

Sporting Portugal, which was overtaken, began to strengthen their offense after continuous substitutions, and they had to put all their eggs in one basket.

In the 81st minute, Sporting Portugal launched an attack. Jorge Goncalves was on the right. After pedaling a bicycle continuously, he accelerated into the penalty area.

At this time, he saw his teammates asking for the ball, so he made a pass with his left foot, and the football was thrown to the back point, and the left winger Quinazz inserted it.

This highly imaginative pass directly tore through Portimão's defense. The football bounced off the ground and Quinaz kicked it directly with his right foot.

In fact, the goalkeeper Ferreira had seen Ferreira's movement before. When Jorge Goncalves passed the ball, Ferreira went towards Quinazzi.

But Ferreira didn't touch the ball, which flew under his armpit, and the trajectory of the ball was obviously going into the net.

At this time, Zhao Wenchao appeared, and Zhao Wenchao appeared in front of the goal line in time, and first blocked the football with his chest to the limit.

But the ball that hit the goal was too fast. After the football fell to the ground, it still bounced towards the goal.

And because Zhao Wenchao rushed near the goal line and jumped up to block the ball, Zhao Wenchao didn't stand firmly after landing, and because of inertia, he staggered towards the goal.

But Zhao Wenchao reacted very quickly, once again stretched out his left foot to the limit and kicked the football, this time he finally cleared the football.

After Zhao Wenchao stood up, he roared loudly in the direction of the audience, and at the same time hit his right fist vigorously towards the chest.

The head coach Victor was on the sidelines, thinking that the goal must be scored, but seeing Zhao Wenchao's miraculous performance, he jumped up high at such an age.

The audience at the scene became even more crazy, cheering crazily towards Zhao Wenchao, who saved the team.

This attack was also Sporting Portugal's last attack, and the failure this time hit their morale.

Every time they pushed outside the restricted area of ​​the Portimão and looked into the restricted area, they saw Zhao Wenchao. Like a nightmare, Zhao Wenchao suddenly became bigger and bigger, as huge as a giant.

Let them have fear, Zhao Wenchao told the opponent what is called a defensive gate.

In the end, the Portimão people won the final victory 2-1. The head coach Victor said to the assistant coach when he returned to the locker room after the game.

"Tell the top management of the club not to bring in central defenders! No need!" After Victor finished speaking, the corners of his mouth slowly rose.
