Chapter 177: League and Cup
Zhang Shujie was woken up by the alarm clock in a daze, today is Monday, and he should have been training as usual, but Marino gave the players a half-day off on a whim, and the team's top scorer also lay in bed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Shortly after yesterday's game, he called Wang Shihan, and the two chatted for a long time. Wang Shihan heard that Zhang Shujie was a little excited, not only did he score and the team also won, but more importantly, after scoring in the game with Inter Milan, Zhang Shujie scored again, this is the first time this season that he has scored in two consecutive rounds of the league, and it is strange not to be excited.
Because Wang Shihan only had two classes on Monday morning, it didn't matter if he slept late, so he boldly chatted with Zhang Shujie until after two o'clock in the morning Beijing time, if it weren't for Wang Shihan being too sleepy, and at the same time afraid of noisy roommates, maybe Wang Shihan would chat with him all night.
Zhang Shujie watched the movie for too long last night to get up so late. Touching the mobile phone on the table, remembering the phone porridge with Wang Shihan last night, I couldn't help but flipped out her photo, looked at her jade photo and smirked.
The photo was taken by Wang Shihan at the end of last month, and the location was in the dormitory. The weather in November was already very cold, and even if the heating was turned on in the dormitory, a thin sweater had to be passed on, specifically a knitted sweater, Zhang Shujie was not very clear about these details. However, he didn't pay attention to these, his attention was only on Wang Shihan.
In the photo, Wang Shihan is wearing a burgundy slim knit sweater, dark blue skinny jeans, light brown flat-heeled boots, a strand of long hair hanging down on his chest, and a sweet smile on his face. This seemingly simple but beautiful photo that makes people think about it has almost killed Zhang Shujie in seconds.
Back a few years ago, when he was just a freshman in high school, if it weren't for Yuying Middle School's reorganization of the school team, he wouldn't have gone there at all. If he really didn't go to Yuying Middle School, it would be impossible for him to be with Wang Shihan now.
Going a little deeper, if Wang Shihan hadn't been there in person in the warm-up game at that time, if he hadn't met Wang Shihan on the street that Sunday, and if there had not been the "accompanying reporter" mentioned by Li Mu, then these two people wouldn't have much to do with each other.
But in this world, where are there so many "ifs" and "ifs".
Speaking of which, Zhang Shujie can get Wang Shihan's other eyes, in addition to his own outstanding ball skills, he also has to thank his friends, like Zhou Ying, Li Mu, etc., oh yes, and Liu Xiying, if it weren't for Liu Xiying's existence, Zhang Shujie would not dare to face up to his feelings for Wang Shihan.
God has destined who is with whom, and no matter how they are separated.
Zhang Shujie, who was caught in his memory, suddenly heard the mobile phone ringing, he held the mobile phone close, right in front of him, the ringtone also scared him a lot, he cut out to see, the call was made by Li Mu!!
What the hell is this kid calling?
Zhang Shujie didn't answer, he hung up directly, got out of bed and opened the door to ask Li Mu the reason, but when he saw Li Mu standing at the door.
"Papaya, what are you doing, what are you calling me for?"
"Why else did I want to ask you? I knocked on the door for a long time and you didn't hear?"
Zhang Shujie was surprised: "You knocked on the door just now?"
Li Mu was also shocked, and reached out to touch Zhang Shujie's forehead: "You don't have a fever, right?"
"Fuck off, you've got a fever. Zhang Shujie slapped his hand away.
"You really didn't hear me knock?"
"Nope. I slept too deeply to hear. I've just woken up. Zhang Shujie didn't tell the truth.
But Li Mu is not so easy to deceive, he saw that Zhang Shujie was in good spirits, as if he had just woken up, so he smiled and said, "I see that you are in a daze." ”
"Nonsense, what am I in a daze?"
"Ahh I see, in the next few hours, you missed someone so much that you thought about yourself, and you fell asleep in the middle of the night and didn't hear my knock at the door. Li Mu analyzed the Tao at the head, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
Zhang Shujie didn't deny it, but just said: "You like reasoning so much, why don't you become a detective?"
"Don't understand, do you? Chinese mainland does not allow private investigators. Otherwise, with my clever head, I ......"
"You're enough, flash me aside, what you just said is gibberish. Zhang Shujie pushed him away.
"Hey, what are you doing?" asked Li Mu with his back against the wall.
Zhang Shujie took two steps, turned around and said, "I went to wash my face and brush my teeth, and I couldn't sleep when I was so noisy by you." ”
Li Mu watched him approach the bathroom and shouted softly: "Obviously, I miss my girlfriend and have insomnia, and I blame it." ”
Zhang Shujie's voice came from the bathroom: "Papaya, you didn't eat breakfast, did you?"
"Where am I going to eat? You expect me to do it?"
"Let's go eat later, and remember to call Rodney. ”
"No need to scream, he's not in the room at all. ”
There was a sound of rushing water in the bathroom, and then Zhang Shujie walked out: "He's not there, where did he go?"
"How would I know? I got up early this morning to go to the bathroom and saw him out, and I don't know where he went. ”
"That guy has been weird for the last few months. ”
"He hasn't played in almost two months, do you think he's going to be in a good mood?"
Zhang Shujie frowned, glanced at Li Mu, and said, "Winter break...... It's coming. ”
Li Mu sighed silently: "Yes." ”
The two did not speak again. The winter break is approaching, which means that Rodney Strassell is getting farther and farther away from Parma.
In recent days, there has been rumor in the team that after Christmas, Marino is going to do a clean-up of personnel, and the first person to be cleaned up is Strassell. The 20-year-old has played a meagre number of appearances this season, playing less than 60 minutes in three games combined, with zero goals and assists, and Marino has largely given up on him.
Zhang Shujie originally wanted to take advantage of this half-day holiday to go out with Strassell to take a walk and breathe, but he ran away early in the morning, and he didn't know where he went.
"Jie Zai, forget it, let's go. ”
Zhang Shujie changed his clothes: "Let's go." If I go early and come back early, I may have to get some sleep. ”
"How can you sleep so well?"
"I slept so late last night, watched two movies, and it was 3 a.m. when I lay down. What if I don't get some sleep, what about my afternoon training?"
Li Mu said: "Who let you watch movies for so long?Is training more important or is it important to watch movies?" As he spoke, he went out with Zhang Shujie, and Zhang Shujie glared at him: "Okay, don't say it." By the way, who is our opponent in the next round?
"It's Palermo, it's away. You can't remember that?"
"I have less sleep and my memory is blurry. ”
"I think you're masturbating. ”
"You die, you!"
"Haha, you have to a little less, otherwise you will challenge Palermo in the next round, what should you do if your feet are soft? ”
"My feet are soft, do you want to try it?" Zhang Shujie made a kicking motion.
Li Mu flashed: "It's okay, you still try it against the goal in Palermo." ”
"I'm worried if the coach will start us. Don't forget, the 15th of this month is the Coppa Italia, and the coach doesn't seem to give up this cup. ”
"You remember that, our opponent in the Coppa Italia is Fiorentina. If the coach really likes the Coppa Italia, it can't be ruled out that we will play as a substitute against Palermo in the next round. ”
"Hey, let's not talk about it, I'll naturally understand when that day comes. ”
As Zhang Shujie guessed, Marino really hid several main players in the 16th round of the Italian Cup against Palermo in the 16th round, including Zhang Shujie and Li Mu. Not only that, but captain Morrone was also suspended, and Lucarelli took over the captain's armband.
Palermo ranked sixth in the league last season and are currently seventh this season, with stars such as Pastore and Micoli, and the overall strength is definitely not worse than Parma's, or even slightly stronger.
The first half of the game was normal, with both sides attacking each other, but in the 33rd minute, Palermo scored first, leading Parma 1-0 at home, and it was Mikoli who scored for his team. It was Mikoli's sixth goal of the season, two fewer than Zhang.
Marino didn't want his team to lose, but without Zhang Shujie and Li Mu on the court, several good shots from Giovinco were wasted by the aging Crespo and the uncompetitive Bodinov, and Marquez failed to seize the opportunity, and even wasted a single shot.
In the 55th minute of the second half, Marino couldn't sit still, and he replaced Zhang Shujie and Li Mu in the next ten minutes, and these two substitutions became the two turning points of the game.
First of all, Li Mu pulled a goal back for Parma with a hanging shot in the 69th minute, which was Li Mu's fifth goal of the tournament, the second scorer of the team, and his six assists were the team's assist leader.
In the 77th minute, Zhang Shujie's shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, and Giovinco shot into the net to score the team's second goal.
For this away victory, Marino has to admit that once Parma is missing Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, it is like a different team. These two Chinese teenagers are two indispensable generals in Parma, even though they are still very young.
Three days later, the Coppa Italia ushered in the fifth round of competition, which was also the round of 16. Parma finished eighth in the table last season, so they started this season's Coppa Italia directly from the round of 16, which reduced the intensity of the game to a certain extent, and greatly reduced the physical exertion of the players.
Marino's attitude before the game was clear: "We are not a relegation team, but it is difficult to win the league title, so the Coppa Italia is very important for us, it is probably the only trophy we have the ability to fight for, and we can't give it up." ”
He and his predecessor Guidolin thought the exact opposite, which is also an environmental issue. Parma had just returned to Serie A last season, and what Guidolin had to do was to stay in the first division as much as possible, and he didn't have time to compete for the Coppa Italia. Marino is different, and now Parma are more than capable of competing for the crown this season.
The opponent was Fiorentina at the Tardini Stadium, and Gilardino did not make it into Fiorentina's eighteen-man squad, and Parma did not seem to have any excuse to lose.
Marino sent all the main forces, and Zhang Shujie and Li Mu were among them. The process of the game was a bit dull, and the two sides drew 0-0 in 90 minutes, and had to go to extra time.
In extra time, it was again ******** players who saved Parma.
Zhang Shujie, who did not score in the last round of the league, scored in the Coppa Italia for the first time in this competition, and just three minutes later, Li Mu also scored.
The game had reached the second half of extra time, Parma led 2-0, and with only four minutes to go, Parma had no problem qualifying, and the players relaxed a little, and Marchisio took advantage of a goal in the last two minutes.
But the goal came a little late and could not change the fact that Fiorentina were eliminated. Zhang Shujie, Li Mu and the players celebrated the team's successful promotion, and it was at this time that the two learned from Chen Hui and Shen Hao's calls that tomorrow the "World Football" column team will come to Italy to make a theme report on the two and present a Christmas gift to domestic fans.
