What is an attacking defensive midfielder?

Chapter 52 Hao Ren's Youth Training Report

Dongqiudi (a sports betting platform) reposted: Hao Ren released a statement on his personal social media, hoping that everyone would not believe the content of Bild, which is a trash newspaper.

Hao Ren is quite active online, and whenever he sees fans or reporters discussing him on Twitter, he always steps forward immediately.

Judging from Hao Ren's remarks, it seems that this guy has just been involved with Bild!

Bild was not intimidated either. The day after the Leipzig-Kaiserslautern match, Bild reporter Erend posted a short video on his personal social media.

In the video, Allen stands in front of a large screen, holding a projector remote control.

On the very first page of the PowerPoint presentation, an enlarged version of a giant maggot occupied the entire screen.

"The larval and mature stages are completely different in appearance, and there is a pupal stage in between. Yes, this is complete metamorphosis."

"And we can see these same characteristics in Goodman as well."

Allen pressed the remote control, and the next slide of the PPT showed a photo of Hao Ren during a match.

Leipzig's number 20 is running quickly towards the opponent's penalty area.

"Logically speaking, complete metamorphosis only applies to insects. But based on my month-long observation of Goodman, I can conclude with great certainty that Goodman's growth process perfectly matches the theory of complete metamorphosis, and he should be the only human to fit this theory."

"Goodman is unwilling to admit that he has become an offensive player because he is in a standoff with Rangnick and wants to reject Rangnick's offensive philosophy."

【Hahahahaha】

[Fuck you, you hater, just wait until you get your comeuppance!]

[What a trash reporter! Does anyone know this reporter's QQ number? Send me the QQ number, and I'll find out his ID number in no time.]

[This guy's a foreigner, and what's the point of opening an account anyway? Just send him a private message and yell at him.]

To be honest, it does make some sense.

[Your private messages are about to explode, upstairs]

……

The sports field near the rental house.

Snapped!

With a powerful shot from the outside of his foot, Hao Ren precisely slotted the ball into the far corner of the goal.

Proficiency: 27/80

"call!"

Adjusting his breathing, Hao Ren summarized the experience he had gained in training.

The outside-of-the-foot heavy cannon is indeed cool, but mastering it is really difficult.

Hao Ren clenched his right fist and made a decision in that instant.

I absolutely have to take out a loan!

"Mr. Goodman!"

Just as Hao Ren was about to check the repayment progress of the [Standard Long Transmission] template, a familiar voice came from afar.

Those are Lucas and Otto!

"Dear Mr. Goodman!"

Lucas and Otto quickly ran to Hao Ren, put their hands together, and bowed slightly to show their respect.

"Hmm? You're here for training today? I can teach you something new."

Hao Ren had known Lucas and Otto for some time, and during that time, he had built up enough trust with the two children.

It's time to hand over Mr. Goodman's powerful stealing skills to them!

"Really? That's great!"

Lucas jumped up to celebrate, while Otto, standing to the side, kept his hands clasped together, a worried look on his face.

"Mr. Goodman, did you get into an argument with the people at Bild online? Is that alright?"

"That's right!"

Lucas rubbed his hands together. "Mr. Goodman, would you like me to give them a piece of my mind? I'm very good at arguing."

"These are minor matters! There's no need to argue with them."

Hao Ren shook his head: "Mr. Goodman doesn't care!"

Mr. Goodman didn't care...

Upon hearing this, Lucas and Otto immediately showed expressions of admiration.

They're being too petty. A noble person like Mr. Goodman wouldn't care about such trivial matters!

"We will learn a lot from you, Mr. Goodman!"

Otto said.

"but."

Hao Ren raised his chin, gazing at the distant sky: "They're wrong, and I'll soon prove them wrong. After I've proven them wrong, then you can go and criticize them!"

……

November 6th, just two days before the match between Leipzig and St. Pauli.

On this very day, the Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao Club, which has recently garnered much attention, published an article on Weibo.

In this article, Guangzhou club explained some details of their training of Hao Ren and answered some questions from fans.

Of course, none of these are the most important.

Most importantly, Guangzhou Evergrande published Hao Ren's youth training report at the end of the article!

Hengda Football School Youth Training Player Evaluation and Development Planning Report - May 2012

Player Name: Hao Ren

[Date of Birth: March 4, 1998]

[Age: 14 years old (U17 team)]

[Playing Position: Defensive Midfielder, Sweeping Midfielder]

[Template: Li Tie, Makelele]

characteristic:

1. Possesses defensive reading ability beyond his peers, with excellent positioning and incredibly quick footwork in 1-on-1 defense and zone defense.

2. Excellent running coverage ability and a strong awareness of defensive support.

3. Poor defensive discipline and insufficient ability to advance.

4. Lack of offensive awareness and skills, and low participation in offensive operations.

发展潜力：虽然越级，但仍能成为U16梯队核心防守球员。球员有望在16岁进入U19梯队，乐观估计在18-20岁达到中超中流水準

The above is the main content; the following documents contain information about Hao Ren's previous youth competitions.

These materials also reveal why Hao Ren is so persistent in his defense.

His defensive statistics are consistently the best in the entire U17 team, surpassing all 15- and 16-year-old players at Evergrande Football School in the same period!

[18-20 year olds reach the mid-level of the Chinese Super League]

Judging from this training report, isn't Hao Ren developing a bit too early? Shouldn't he be in the U19 team at 16? How did he go straight to the German Second Division?

[Holy crap, look at these statistics. Hao Ren's running distance is higher than everyone else's; no wonder Leipzig had to come to bail him out.]

[Hmm... This matches my observation of Hao Ren last season. When Hao Ren was 15, he was probably still following the development template. It's just that this season he suddenly started to develop abnormally. Actually, I had expected this, but I just kept it to myself.]

[What did you say upstairs? Watch out, I, Hao Qiuwang, will send you a private message and curse you to death!]

Aside from the inaccurate predictions, Hao Ren's training report was largely without problems; it presented the actual situation objectively.

So Guangzhou club is actually quite innocent.

Some players are like that; they are unknown when they are young, but they start to dominate after they grow up.

Mr. Goodman clearly belongs to this category!

At 15, Goodman was still in his infancy, lying on the bench unable to move.

By the time Mr. Goodman turned 16, he had already emerged from his cocoon and ascended to heaven!

He is no longer the kid he was at Evergrande Football School!

……

Forwarded from Tieba: Evergrande released Hao Ren's youth training data, his defensive data is the best in his age group, and his initial model is Li Tie.
