Chapter 23: Go to the first team to report

When he was in the youth team, Joaquin had tried to play in the middle, but it turned out that the wing was the best position for him. So he seemed a little surprised when he heard that he might be placed in a new position.

"Yes. If you pay attention to the situation of the team, you should know about Denilson's injury. We hope you can play his position. Of course... this is only temporary. I believe Betis's future right will belong to you!" Hiddink explained after seeing Joaquin's surprise.

When Tang Feng was translating Hiddink's words, he once again picked up his own private goods.

However, the effect of this sentence was obviously good. After hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed across the tender bun's face: "Well, no problem. I am willing to obey Mr. Hiddink's tactical arrangements."

After hearing what Tang Feng translated, Hiddink nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's report tomorrow!"

Although he had expected this result, when he heard the sentence translated by Tang Feng, Hua Jin was still full of excitement.

I'm finally going to the first team, am I going to play in La Liga?

April 18 is destined to be a day that he will never forget in his life.

On this day, he finally got a team of recruits.

After saying goodbye to Tang Feng and Hiddink, and accepting congratulations and blessings from team B's teammates at the training base, Joaquin immediately returned home and shared the good news with his parents and several brothers and sisters.

Afterwards, he made a special call to his uncle.

Because it was his uncle who discovered his football talent and firmly believed that he would become the best player in Spain, and encouraged him to embark on the road of football.

Joaquin's father, Rodriguez, runs a small bar.

Because the family has seven children, the financial situation of the Joaquin family is not well-off. However, in order to celebrate the promotion of Joaquin to the first team, Rodriguez, the old man held a free order event in his bar that night.

Such a move may have reduced the income of this already struggling family, but also made Joaquin have a group of fans.

Because many fans and guests in this bar said that they will pay attention to Joaquin in the future. If he really plays well, he will become his loyal fan.

At less than 9 a.m. on April 19, Joaquin had already arrived at the first team's training ground.

Just like when Tang Feng arrived early when he first came to the training ground after traveling through time, when Joaquin arrived at the training base, except for the guard Uncle Frango, the training base could be said to be empty.

Frango is not unfamiliar with Joaquin. In fact, he is very familiar with all Betis players, whether they are from Team One or Team B.

Seeing that Joaquin walked straight to the training ground of the first team today, Uncle Frango naturally knew what was going on. He smiled and said, "Young man, it seems that you have been promoted to the first team. Congratulations!"

"Yes. Uncle Frango. From today on, I will play football in the first team!" Joaquin said excitedly and proudly.

"Well, perform well. There are still five rounds of games, so we must work hard to keep the team in La Liga!" While Frango encouraged Joaquin, he also expressed his hope to him.

After hearing Uncle Frango's words, Joaquin suddenly realized that after entering the first team, he had to shoulder the responsibility of relegation of the team.

"Don't worry, Uncle Frango. I will definitely work hard to perform!" Joaquin just hesitated a little and then regained her previous confidence.

"Haha! Looking forward to your performance!" Uncle Frango also had a good impression of this confident young man.

Tang Feng arrived at the training base early today.

In fact, after traveling through time, Tang Feng had already changed his habit of sleeping in. At least, on weekdays, he would get up early every day and then come to the training ground early. He would do some exercise first.

Before traveling through time, Tang Feng, as an online writer who had been working on computers for a long time, had a lot of minor problems in his body.

Now, he has given him a healthy body again. He naturally has to cherish it.

Seeing that Hua Jin was standing alone by the training ground in a daze, Tang Feng walked towards him.

"Hey, Huajin, you arrived so early!" Tang Feng patted Huajin on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Mr. Tang, good morning." Seeing that someone finally came, Hua Jin smiled and replied.

"Just call me Tang, I'm just a few years older than you." Tang Feng said with a kind smile. It seemed that he seemed to be approachable. Little did he know that this guy is actually getting closer to future stars.

"Well, Tang. You said... can we succeed in relegation?" Hua Jin asked seriously. Obviously, he was still thinking about the conversation with Uncle Frango just now.

"There are five rounds of the game. Everything can happen. Remember, as long as you do what you should do, even if the team is relegated, fans will not blame you!" Tang Feng did not give an accurate reply. He remembered that Betis was relegated this season. Moreover, according to the current situation, Betis' relegation situation is indeed not optimistic.

After hearing Tang Feng's reply, Hua Jin nodded thoughtfully.

During the training class that day, Hiddink couldn't wait to put Joaquin in the left front-line position.

Joaquin is a traditional mid-sized winger with a bottom cross from the wing. Although his left and right feet are relatively balanced, he is not used to the inward cutting style.

Although, in theory, putting it on the left side makes him cut inward, it is more suitable for him to use his habitual right foot. But in fact, this is not the case.

When he put Joaquin on the left, he still habitually crossed the bottom. And because the accuracy of crossing the left foot was not as high as that of his right foot, his performance was not as good as in Team B.

In this way, many times, even after successfully breaking through the wing, Joaquin often chooses to pull the ball back and then pass it with his right foot.

Looking at Joaquin's performance, Hiddink on the sidelines couldn't help but frown: "He seems to be very uncomfortable with playing on the left, Don."

Compared to Hiddink, Tang Feng was relatively calm because he had considered the difficulty of letting Joaquin play on the left side before. It can be said that these situations were as expected.

"He has played on the right side for so many years and suddenly switched him to the left side, he will definitely be a little uncomfortable. Let him try again!" Tang Feng analyzed.

Hiddink nodded. He was also optimistic about Joaquin's talent. In fact, if he discovered Joaquin just after he came to the team, he would even consider letting Joaquin and Finidi George compete for the position of the main right forward.

Although Joaquin lacks experience, what Betis lacks today is exactly the young motivation of Joaquin.

On the training ground, as the competition deepened, Joaquin seemed to have gradually gotten used to the left position. In addition, he also gave Oli in the middle through a cross. The only regret is that he still seems to be not used to the way of cutting in!

Seeing Joaquin's performance, Hiddink's brows also relaxed a little. Because, in his opinion, at least Joaquin's performance on the left side will not be worse than that of Benjamin, the substitute left-back, or Pablo and Cuera who played guest roles.

After the final of the competition, Tang Feng walked towards Joaquin, who was resting.

Perhaps because of being too positive, Joaquin was breathing heavily. This is how young players are, their physical fitness may be better than veterans. But sometimes they are not good at distributing physical fitness.

Especially players like Joaquin who keep sprinting on the wings are quite physically consuming.

"Huajin, don't be too eager to show off. Let's slowly adapt to the rhythm of the next team first. You must believe in your own strength!" Tang Feng handed a bottle of water Huajin and advised.

"Thank you, Don." Joaquin took the water, unscrewed it, and then continued, "If I were to play on the right, I would definitely not be in a hurry. But Mr. Hiddink asked me to play on the left, I must adapt to this position as soon as possible. Try to contribute to the team early!"

"In fact, your performance is already good today. After all, you have never played on the left before." Tang Feng continued to encourage.

"I know Mr. Hiddink wants me to play like Denilson. But I am not used to that kind of playing. My skills are not as gorgeous as him..." When he said this, Joaquin, who had been very confident before, had a rare look of frustration on his face.

"Jaguin, I think you're wrong! You don't need to play football like anyone else. You just need to play in your own way. Yes, your skills are not as gorgeous as Denilson. But you have your strengths, you are fast, and your breakthroughs are simpler than him. Your crosses are also more accurate than him. In fact, all you have to do is to make good use of your own strengths."

"Is it difficult to cut in? I don't think so! It's just that you are used to the way of playing the way of crossing the bottom and forming an inertial thinking. The first idea of ​​getting the ball is that I want to break through, I want to go down, I want to cross! That's right, there are many people on the football field who can earn the world with one move. But if your playing style is too single, it will be easier for the opponent to defend. On the contrary, as long as your playing style is more diverse, others will not be able to guess you when defending you. You can continue to cross the ball, but you can also suddenly hit the ball back when the defender determines that you want to go down the bottom, or hit it horizontally, and then kill in the middle before the opponent reacts. Then, whether to continue to break through, whether to pass or shoot, it is up to you!"

"And, cutting inward does not necessarily mean doing this at the front of the penalty area. After you throw away the opponent in the process of downs, you can also cut inward in the middle. After breaking into the penalty area, whether you pass or shoot, the threat will be greater. Do you understand what I mean?"

Tang Feng recalled the way of playing in the future like Messi, Robben, and Ronaldo, and helped Joaquin analyze it.

After hearing Tang Feng's words, Hua Jin began to think about his way of playing.
