Chapter 103: On and off the field

"Today's training, is it all clear?" Guidolin asked the team members standing in front of him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The team members said, "Clear. ”

"Good. Gui Duolin looked at Zhang Shujie and Li Mu: "I will divide the two of you into two teams for internal training." For a long time from now on, as long as you are in training, you will not be on the same team. ”

He didn't say why, and the two didn't ask, just nodded silently.

Guidolin paused for a while, and then said: "Listen, I don't care if you used to play in China or not, you have to be clear about your position in this place, you know?"

"Got it. The two said at the same time.

"Go training, do what I just said. Guidolin waved his hand.

The team went down to training. Manzo smiled, "Francisco, it looks like you're planning to train the two of them out?"

"Didn't you tell me yesterday that they are the only ones in the team who can become stars. ”

"As I said, it's just a possibility. ”

"As long as you concentrate on cultivating, you can turn the 'possibility' into reality. ”

Manzo sighed slightly, and Guidolin knew what he was sighing for, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Nationality, this is the regret of nationality.

Italy has never lacked stars, in terms of midfield, in the last two decades there have been Signori, Baggio, Vieri, Inzaghi, Piero, Totti. These famous stars have been on the field for more than 10 years, leaving behind countless great achievements. However, in the past few years, this group of stars has either retired or is close to retirement, and there has been a talent gap in Italy's midfield.

Cassano is good, but lacks strong individual and collective accolades, Gilardino has proven to be a big hit, and Paloski has also hit a plateau in his growth, and he is still a little short of his predecessors compared to his contemporaries Vieri Inzaghi.

At present, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu have also encountered a little trouble on their growth path, but as long as they can overcome the past, their future will definitely be brighter than Palowski.

After a day's training, after eating in the players' dining room, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu wanted to go out for a walk, originally wanting to call Strassel together, but this guy didn't know where to go.

It's still early, and there are a lot of people on the streets of Palma. Feng Kai has also been very busy these days, busy looking for players to sign. This is a broker, and it is indeed different.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, the two met Chen Hui and Shen Hao on the street, reporters from China's "Sports Weekly".

When you meet people from your own country in a foreign country, you will have more or less good feelings. In addition, the last interview did not make the two teenagers disgusted with them, so when they came head-on, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu did not turn a blind eye.

Chen Hui beckoned, walked in front of the two, and said jokingly: "What a coincidence, two little stars, I can meet you on the street." ”

Zhang Shujie smiled bitterly: "What a star, just two professional players." ”

"Yes later, I'm just saying it in advance. ”

Li Muxiao asked the two, "What are you doing on the street?"

"I just finished writing the report, and I was a little tired, so I came out for a walk. What about you, too?"

"Yes. Anyway, there's nothing to do, so just take a stroll and see if there's anything to buy. ”

"It's better to meet by chance, or not together?" Don't worry, we will never interview you today. ”

The two laughed, "Okay."

The four of them walked on the street, and Chen Hui said: "Yesterday's game between you, Shen Hao and I happened to have something to do in China, so I didn't go to the scene to watch. I saw the report today, you didn't score, did you?"

Zhang Shujie nodded and said, "It's impossible to score goals in every game." My goal is to score five goals this season, double next season and then try to be a regular in the third year. ”

Chen Hui turned his head to look at Li Mu, and before he could open his mouth, Li Mu said, "Don't ask first, I have roughly the same idea as him." But in terms of goals, I'm in the midfielder and the shadow striker, so I'm definitely not as good as him. ”

Chen Hui smiled and didn't ask anymore, but Shen Hao asked, "Then do you have any requirements for scoring goals?"

"About two or three, but the more I like it, the more I like it. ”

"Actually, your requirements are not very high, they are very realistic. Compared with the Chinese men's football team players who entered the World Cup for the first time, they are indeed much better. ”

Zhang Shujie smiled dumbly: "Breaking into the World Cup for the first time! Threatening to reach the round of 16! is still shouting slogans in the same group as Brazil, they really think that the two teams of Turkey and Costa Rica are going to show their faces." ”

Chen Hui shook his head lightly and said: "'Reaching the top 16' was first shouted by the fans, and everyone seemed to think that their team was very good after entering the World Cup, but they didn't know that they were always a soy sauce player." ”

This is a slightly heavier statement, but it is also a fact. Objectively speaking, the Chinese team from 2002 to 2004 has indeed made great progress, but compared with old strong teams such as South Korea and Japan, the gap is also very obvious, and this gap can not be changed by entering the World Cup. Moreover, in that World Cup, China, Japan and South Korea were all opposite performances, and it was even more intuitive when they faced Japan in the 2004 Asian Cup final.

Someone said afterwards that they didn't understand why the Chinese team wanted to reach the top 16 at the request of the fans. Maybe it's really as Chen Hui said, after entering the World Cup, he regarded himself as a strong team.

Zhang Shujie and Li Mu didn't have too high requirements for their first season, you must know that Yang Chen had eight goals in his first season at Frankfurt. So these two teenagers can only get enough opportunities to play, and it shouldn't be difficult to score seven or eight goals.

No one spoke for a while, and Zhang Shujie broke the silence: "Don't be so stuffy, don't talk about the Chinese team and the World Cup, everyone is silent." He looked at Chen Hui and Shen Hao: "I said, two journalist friends, if we reveal it today, you won't publish it in the newspaper tomorrow, right?"

Chen Hui laughed and said: "Don't worry, today's words should be casually chatted, and they won't be logged out." I mean what I say. ”

"That's good, I'm afraid you're going to make your profession a habit, and if you post it and I can't score five goals this season, it will stink. ”

"Then I'll report after you've scored five goals, haha!"

……

On Sunday, October 25, the ninth round of Serie A matches kicked off on this day, and Parma faced Atalanta or played away.

In this game, Guidolin's formation was still 4-4-2, and Córdoba, which had performed well in the first two rounds of the league, impressed the coach and occupied the position of the main midfielder, while Strassell, Zhang Shujie, and Li Mu, the three "first-year students", continued to sit on the bench.

Atalanta are in a 4-4-1-1 formation, which is a formation that few teams use in Italy. However, Parma did not have time to study this, no matter what the formation, first of all, to ensure that they did not lose.

Chen Hui and Shen Hao sat in the press box in the stands, with a capacity of less than 25,000 people at the Blue Arena, surrounded by almost all Atlanta fans. Despite the fact that Atalanta is a small team, there are no fewer supporters, and what makes these supporters proud is that many stars have played for this team in Atalanta's history. Especially in the '96/'97 season, there was one of the top scorers in Serie A, and that was the current AC Milan striker Filippo Inzaghi.

Parma got off to a bad start in the game, conceding a goal in just nine minutes. Panucci kicked the ball to the back of the opposing striker Aquafreca when he cleared the penalty area, how could Atalanta not accept this big gift sent to the door? Aquafresca stabbed the situation, Mirante could not react, and was about to save, but the ball was already lying in his own door.

Guidolin couldn't laugh or cry, no one was to blame for this lost goal, it was purely an accident.

Chen Hui whispered to Shen Hao: "Such a goal is really a big luck." ”

Shen Hao narrowed his eyes and replied lightly: "It's a pity that our Chinese team has never had such luck." ”

Chen Hui was stunned for a moment before he said: "Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have swallowed a duck egg in the World Cup." ”

The surprise goal gave the home side Atalanta a 60-minute lead, and Guidolin couldn't sit still and called Li Mu to the sidelines to warm up.

Zhang Shujie patted his buttocks, and he sat on the bench waiting for the head coach's call, Li Mu was about to play, and he should be fast.

Li Mu replaced Mariga, there were still 25 minutes left in the game, Parma was still 0:1 behind, Guidolin did not ask the players to win, but at least to get a draw to ensure that the team was unbeaten in three rounds.

For a promoted horse like Parma, three wins in a row is still a bit difficult. Guidolin didn't want to put too much pressure on the players, the league had just started, and if there was pressure, the rest of the games would not be easy.

Li Mu's appearance made Chen Hui and Shen Hao feel excited, they were originally here for the two Chinese teenagers.

Li Mu has really changed a lot, and he will no longer naively consider himself the core, he takes the initiative to cater to his teammates. At present, in Guidolin's tactics, Morrone and Córdoba are the movers of the attack, and Li Mu needs to cooperate with them.

In this way, Li Mu will not be very dazzling, after he gets the ball, it is more not to find the position of a striker, let alone to break through with the ball himself, he will see where Córdoba and Morrone are, as long as he can hand over the ball to them, he will definitely hand it over.

In the 77th minute, Li Mu got the ball in the middle of the field and crossed to Morrone, Morrone picked it diagonally on his toes, Bodinov jumped high and scored with a header, scoring his second league goal of the season, and also tied the score for Parma.

Li Mu and his teammates hugged each other to celebrate, and Guidolin, in addition to his excitement, asked Strassel to warm up on the sidelines.

Zhang Shujie was still waiting, and until Strassel came on the court after the warm-up, the game had reached the eighty-third minute. He had a hunch that he might not be able to play today.

This kind of premonition is not only he has, Li Mu also has the same feeling, there is not much time left in the game, Guidolin would have called him a long time ago, and he will not wait until now There is no movement.

"Chen Hui, do you think Zhang Shujie can still play today?" Shen Hao asked without looking back.

"How do I know that? I'm not a manager. But looking at it like this, it shouldn't be able to get on. ”

Shen Hao frowned and said softly, "It seems that all the drafts we thought out in advance have to be invalidated." ”

Sometimes football is so dramatic, and within three minutes of Strassell's play, Parma put the lead in the lead, scoring the goal by Córdoba and the assister by Strassell. The black teenager has been getting more and more courageous lately, either scoring goals or assists, and Guidolin is considering whether to give him more playing time in the future.

There are about seven or eight minutes left in stoppage time, and as long as you don't make any mistakes in those minutes, Parma's victory should be fine.

Looking at Cordoba after the goal, Zhang Shujie can be sure that he can only sit on this bench today. Guidolin still has one last substitution left, but the team is now ahead, and if they want to change it, they will change the guard to strengthen the defense, and they will not let the striker play.

While he applauded his teammates and celebrated the goal, he felt a little lost in his heart.

Wang Shihan should have seen me on the bench, right?

Atalanta let go of their hands and feet, and Guidolin had to make tactical substitutions to delay the game a little. He replaced goal-scorer Bodinov with defender Fontanero as stoppage time arrived.

Fontanero estimated that the game was over before the turf could be treaded hot, and Parma won the game against Atalanta in the battle to win the draw, ushering in a third straight league victory.

Zhang Shujie, who was slightly disappointed, still had a happy side, the team won, and his friend Li Mu performed well, and he also specially stepped forward to congratulate Li Mu.

Chen Hui watched Parma's players go to the locker room one by one, and he also packed his things: "The game is over, let's go too." ”

Shen Hao asked him: "Do you still go to the press conference after the game?"

"Forget it, let's go back and think about how to write the manuscript, Guidolin didn't let Zhang Shujie not play, and overturned all our original manuscripts. ”
