Chapter 116 Chu Zheng's New Position
At 4:23 on the evening of April 19rd, at the San Paolo Stadium in Naples, Italy.

There is still an hour before the start of the game, but a large number of Naples fans have gathered outside the San Paolo Stadium.

At this time, if you look at the overhead camera of the broadcast, you will find that the San Paolo Stadium at night is like a vortex, exuding a deadly suction, making the fans on the streets of Naples in the city of Naples converge towards the vortex like a stream.

"Fatty, remember, let's call together later, call Chu Zheng over, if we miss this opportunity, we won't get the autograph!"

"I know! I know! Are you annoying? I've said it a hundred times!"

"You said that Chu Zheng will not be in the starting lineup like Zhang Xizhe?"

"Brother, you've exposed it. You didn't watch Wolfsburg's game at all, did you! Are Chu Zheng and Zhang Xizhe with the hat the same thing?"

On both sides of the player entrance passage, among the large crowd of Naples fans, a small group of young men and women with black hair and yellow skin gathered in front of the fence.

There are about ten young people in this group. They are all Chinese students and fans of Chu Zheng. They come from Milan, Rome, Florence and Turin.

Today they gathered outside the Sao Paulo Stadium just for Chu Zheng.

When studying abroad in a country with a strong football atmosphere like Italy, many Chinese students were not interested in football at first.

But they couldn't help being surrounded by fans, and over time they learned a little about football, and even became interested and fell in love with football.

This is how Fatty, a small group of international students, fell in love with football.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the blue and green buses from Naples and Wolfsburg drove to the entrance of the Sao Paulo players.

After the Naples players entered the field, the Wolfsburg players also got out of the car one after another.

Chu Zheng and De Bruyne got out of the car one after the other. Both of them were wearing small fit suits with the Wolfsburg team logo. They looked very handsome, like male models.

"Chu, you will be under a lot of pressure today. If you need help, you must call Arnold back to help you!" De Bruyne and Chu Zheng walked side by side, looking at Chu Zheng with concern.

"Don't worry, Kevin, I know how to do it! I will do my best to deliver shells for you!" Chu Zheng smiled confidently.

"Chu Zheng!!!"

"Chu Zheng!!!!!!!!!"

"We are here!!!!!!"

"..."

Suddenly bursts of loud shouts reached Chu Zheng's ears. Chu Zheng followed the sound and looked over, and soon he saw Fatty, a group of Chinese fans in the crowd.

Chu Zheng stopped, greeted De Bruyne, and then walked over.

"Come here, you're really here!!" Seeing Chu Zheng walking towards them with a smiling face, Fatty and the others became excited.

"How are you!" Chu Zheng really didn't expect to meet his fellow fans in Italy.

Next, Chu Zheng signed autographs for Fatty and the others one by one, and then took a photo with the fans with his back turned.

"Chu Zheng, are you starting today?" Putting away his phone contentedly, the fat man Cheng Yaojing immediately asked.

Cheng Yaojing was one of Chu Zheng's earliest fans, and he quickly turned into a Chu Zheng fan from the night of Chu Zheng's first Bundesliga game.

Before the game, most of the media information collected by Cheng Yaojing was that Wolfsburg would give up the game.

Therefore, he was a little worried that if he couldn't see Chu Zheng play in the game, they who came all the way to Naples would be disappointed.

Chu Zheng looked at Cheng Yaojing, who had a fat head and fat ears, five big and three thick, dark complexion, nearly two meters tall, and his body was comparable to a big bear, and said with a smile: "It's the starter."

After saying that, Chu Zheng smiled mysteriously and said, "Maybe I will give you some surprises today!"

Soon, under Eddie's repeated urging, Chu Zheng waved at the crowd and trotted away.

Time passed in a flash, and it was time for players from both sides to appear on the court as soon as they turned their faces.

"Two days ago on April 4, like Wolfsburg, Bayern, who lost 21-3 to Porto in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, were dying."

"They scored five goals in halftime against Porto in the second round, and finally won the second round with a score of 6-1, eliminated Porto, and advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League!"

"This game may also allow many Wolfsburg fans to see the hope of the team reversing Naples!"

"However, it should be noted that there are actually three important factors that cannot be ignored for Bayern's ability to reverse and eliminate Porto in the second round."

In the live broadcast room of CCT5 Sports Channel, He Wei looked at Zhang Lu after he finished speaking.

"Hey!" Zhang Lu smiled and answered immediately, "The first is that Bayern will play at home in the second round!"

"The second is Porto's tactical strategy in the second round. They became cowardly at the Allianz Arena in Munich."

"Porto in the away game did not dare to adopt high-position presses and counterattack tactics quickly on the spot like in the first round. Instead, they set up a bus. As a result, Bayern at home played repeatedly."

"The last point is Guardiola's tactics. He changed Lahm's position to the right midfielder. The right-sided offensive combination formed by him and Rafinha continued to attack Porto's left-sided defense, which lacks the main force Sandro."

After Zhang Lu finished speaking, He Wei laughed and said, "As for Wolfsburg, their second round is an away game, and Naples still holds the advantage of 3 away goals."

"So it's very difficult for Wolfsburg to come back!" Zhang Lu nodded.

Zhang Lu didn't say anything too thoroughly.

He is very pessimistic about Wolfsburg in this game.

Because Wolfsburg does not have the absolute strength of Bayern.

Secondly, Dieter Heikin is not a tactical master like Guardiola. He will play some weird formation tactics that either kill himself or kill the opponent.

Even if Wolfsburg meets the above two conditions, it depends on whether Naples will make mistakes.

Otherwise, he felt that the probability of Wolfsburg winning the game was less than [-]%.

On the field, the captains of both sides have already guessed the coins and selected sides.

The game also played the starting lineups of Naples and Wolfsburg in due course.

Naples: (4231)

Goalkeeper: Andujar

Defenders: Mesto, Albiol, Bristol, Guillam

Defenders: Lopez, Inle

Attacking midfielder: Callejon, Hamsik, Mertens

Forward: Higuain
"Compared with the first round, Naples only made one substitution adjustment in this game, that is, at the right back position, the 32-year-old Italian veteran Mesto replaced Maggio."

"Except...uh..."

After finishing the words, seeing Wolfsburg's starting lineup list appearing on the large LCD TV in the studio in front of him, He Wei's words came to an abrupt end, and his face was extremely astonished, as if he was very shocked.

Zhang Lu, who was sitting next to him, also had an extremely surprised expression.

Wolfsburg: (4231)

Forward: Dorst
Front midfielder: Caligiuri, De Bruyne, Perisic

Back midfielder: Chu Zheng, Arnold

Defenders: Rodriguez, Knoch, Naldo, Sebastian Jung

Goalkeeper: Benaglio

"Forehead!!"

"Forehead!!!"

"In this game, Wolfsburg has undergone a major change!!"

"That's the Chinese player Chu Zheng appearing in the left midfielder position!" Seeing the starting list, He Wei's originally flat tone suddenly became excited.

Chu Zheng appeared in the position of the midfielder, which means that Chu Zheng's football talent is not limited to the position of central defender.

Dieter Heiking is also a well-known coach in Germany now. Since he chose to let Chu Zheng play the midfielder as the soul of the team, it must be that Chu Zheng has extraordinary talent in a certain aspect.

"Good guy!"

"Good guy!!!"

"Good guy!!!!"

Zhang Lu next to him was astonished and exclaimed again and again, "Dieter Heijin is going to play big today!!!"

"Chu Zheng and Arnold partnered with double midfielders, this is a brand new combination!"

Although Zhang Lu's tone was flat, his heart was also extremely disturbed, because he didn't quite understand Dieter Heijin's intentions.

It's okay for Chu Zheng to say, after all, the defensive ability lies there.

But Arnold is different. This is also a midfielder with strong offense and weak defense.

The purpose of Dieter Heiking to let him start is very obvious, which is to strengthen the offense.

But in this way, Chu Zheng's defensive task will be heavy.

In today's football, the position of the defensive midfielder is becoming more and more important. He can even be said to be the soul of a team.

But can Chu Zheng take on such a heavy responsibility?

Zhang Lu was very worried!

Rome, Italy time, April 4, 23:20.

With the whistle of the Turkish referee Cakir, the second round of life-and-death battle between Naples and Wolfsburg is just the beginning.

"Fuck!!!"

"Dieter Heijin killed???"

"Chu Zheng is going to heaven!!!"

"Oh my god, Wolfsburg is crazy!!!"

"..."

However, when the Wolfsburg players' positions on the field appeared in the sight of all fans, countless fans who knew the ball suddenly complained again and again.

"Chu Zheng!!"

"Single back!!!"

"Arnold is going up!!!"

"Dieter Heijin, this is the 4141 formation of Total Attack and Total Defense!"

"Chu Zheng has a single back!!"

In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, He Wei and Zhang Lu were also taken aback by Dieter Heijin's formation, and were dumbfounded.

Not only the Chinese fans and He Wei and Zhang Lu were dizzy by Wolfsburg's 4141 formation, but Naples coach Benitez on the sidelines was also knocked to the ground by Dieter Blackkin's new formation.

Before the game, in the data collection of Wolfsburg players, Benitez saw the intelligence analysis about Chu Zheng's midfielder ability.

But Benitez didn't take it too seriously.

The defensive midfielder does not mean that you can play whenever you want.

As far as today's football is concerned, a defensive midfielder needs comprehensive abilities.

Benitez admitted that Chu Zheng's defense is the best among all the young players he has encountered in recent years, but defensive ability alone is not enough.

A pure blue-collar midfielder has no living environment in today's world football.

Now the defensive midfielder is often the brain and commander of the team.

He not only controls the team's overall game rhythm, but also the hub of the team's offensive and defensive transition, the initiator of the offensive direction, and has very strict requirements on the ability and talent of the midfielders.

Although from Chu Zheng's previous game videos, he saw several times that Chu Zheng used long passes in the backcourt to instigate several very beautiful attacks, but Benitez did not believe that Chu Zheng had the talent to play as a midfielder.

Because of the long pass to attack, many top central defenders can do it, and some even do it better than Chu Zheng.

Therefore, Benitez felt that Dieter Heiking was in a panic.
