Chapter 101: The Problem Arises
"Who is that 'you'? Can you tell us?" Chen Hui asked Zhang Shujie. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Shujie really didn't want to answer this question, he kept silent, and Li Mu also chose to be silent.
Chen Hui saw that he was famous, and they deliberately didn't say it. Shen Hao pulled his clothes and whispered, "Don't talk about this, this has nothing to do with football." ”
Chen Hui thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he smiled: "Since you don't want to answer, forget it, just because I haven't asked, let's continue to talk about football-related topics, okay?"
"Well, good. The two teenagers finally spoke again.
"Are you used to being in a foreign country, and how do you get along with your teammates?"
Zhang Shujie smiled: "I must have been a little unaccustomed to coming to Italy when I first came to Italy, but fortunately, Uncle Feng took good care of us, and I didn't think it was anything after living for two years." The teammates are very nice, they are very good with each other and the atmosphere is good. ”
Li Mu nodded and said, "Yes, I think it may be because Parma lacks big-name stars, so it seems a little more simple." ”
Chen Hui let out an "um" and asked, "Do you have any ideals in the future?" You don't want to stay in Parma for the rest of your life, do you?"
Zhang Shujie remembered Ma Junqiang, who was on loan from Chelsea, and said: "In the future, we want to go to bigger clubs and try to participate in the Champions Cup. ”
Li Mu pointed at Zhang Shujie: "I think the same as him." ”
Chen Hui smiled: "It's good to have goals, but now you have to stand firm in Parma now." ”
The two said in unison: "Understood." ”
Chen Hui looked at the time, five minutes were almost up, and today's interview was coming to an end. He asked Shen Hao if he had recorded it, and Shen Hao said that he had written it all down.
Chen Hui turned off the recording and shook hands with the two teenagers: "That's the end of today, thank you very much for your cooperation, I won't disturb your training." ”
Shen Hao also shook hands with the two and said goodbye to each other.
Walking out of the training base, Shen Hao said to his partner: "It seems that the harvest is not small. ”
Chen Hui said: "Not bad. It's a pity that I still can't know who the mysterious person Zhang Shujie wrote on his clothes is. ”
"Don't worry about that, we don't know, and the rest of our peers won't know either. I think that the ** of ten has something to do with girls. ”
"The key is not to know who the other party's surname is. Zhang Shujie only studied in high school for one year, and according to this reasoning, the mysterious person is likely to be his classmate. ”
"What about reasoning, when did you change to a detective?"
"If you think about it, you know. Shen Hao, did he go to high school in Yuying Middle School before?"
Shen Hao flipped through his notes and said casually: "It seems that yes, I don't remember very clearly." Suddenly, he asked Chen Hui, "What? You probably want to go to his high school to inquire about this, do you?"
Chen Hui shook his head: "No." This is actually not a big deal, it can be said to be a kind of gossip, Zhang Shujie is reluctant to say it, and we don't need to get to the bottom of it. Forget it, let's keep an eye on how they do on the pitch. ”
The interview between Zhang Shujie and Li Mu was soon published in Sports Weekly, and the Football Weekly, which is affiliated with the newspaper, also reported on the two. Wang Shihan bought a copy of the latest issue of the weekly newspaper and a weekly magazine, and took it to school to read in his spare time.
Although Zhang Shujie called Wang Shihan at noon on the day the interview ended and roughly explained the content of the interview, Wang Shihan still collected all the news reports about Zhang Shujie.
When she arrived in the class, she found that many of her classmates had bought magazines, and it seemed that the Chinese players' every move in Europe was really touching.
"What the hell? Didn't you just score a goal? Didn't you get an assist? and did an interview?" one of the boys said loudly and disdainfully.
His tablemate pulled him: "You are quiet, why are you so loud?"
"What are you afraid of? It's the end of class. These European clubs are really blind, they didn't choose me, if I go, I will be even better than the two of them!"
"What's the alarm? You've got a year to go. ”
Wang Shihan knew that the boy was on the school football team, and after he entered the school team, Zhang Shujie happened to go to Europe, and the two failed to become teammates, but worked with Chen Zihua and Yan Tao for a year. At that time, Wang Shihan was still the team's reporter, and he was familiar with the school team.
This boy who speaks wildly doesn't have much ability, and he can barely play a substitute, but he likes to talk big, every time he hears the veteran mention Zhang Shujie, he always looks disapproving, thinking that everyone deliberately praises Zhang Shujie. Yan Tao and Chen Zihua also taught him a lesson for this and told him to be respectful.
Later, this word reached An Rong's ears, and it happened that it was the last two rounds of the national competition qualifiers, and Yuying Middle School won all the way under the leadership of Chen Zihua and Yan Tao, and only needed a draw in the penultimate round to qualify in advance. So An Rong put Yan Tao and Chen Zihua on the bench and let the boy play the main team, but the team lost the game 0:2. The new striker in the team also quarreled with him, saying that he was 108,000 miles worse than Chen Zihua, let alone Zhang Shujie.
The boy had almost sat on the bench since then, but he still couldn't change his mouth. Wang Shihan told An Rong in private, saying that this boy is very similar to the players of the Chinese men's football team: he has no ability and loves to brag.
The funny thing is that last year, the team left Chen Zihua and Yan Tao, and he also played a few main games, but the team didn't even pass the qualifiers. It's a pity that Yuying Middle School, which won a championship and a runner-up in the first two national competitions, fell on the threshold of the qualifiers after losing its absolute main force.
This year, it seems that there is still some hope, all because of the good luck of Yuying Middle School's group, there is only one strong team in the group, Xinguang Middle School, and the other teams are all fish belly.
Wang Shihan remembered that in the 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team avoided Japan, South Korea, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, and thus got a place to participate in the World Cup. These players of the Chinese men's football team began to make a lot of nonsense, just like a certain player who said before playing against Brazil, "When the game gets a few more corners, I don't believe that I can't score one"!
It's a bit like what the boy said, "If I go to Europe, I'm better than the two of them"! If he really goes to Europe, it may be similar to the situation in China at the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, he can't give any decent performance, and he will be kicked by high-level European players so that he can't find the southeast and northwest.
Wang Shihan thought to himself: This boy's words are actually like a microcosm of the entire Chinese football world. Anyway, you don't need money to brag, and it doesn't matter how you brag about it.
Wang Shihan didn't care about them anymore and buried himself in the report.
On Sunday, October 18, Parma will host Siena in the eighth round of Serie A, two weeks after the previous round, as last Saturday was the international break, and the national team members of the major clubs returned home to play, and the Serie A was postponed by a week.
Guidolin put Zhang Shujie and Li Mu on the bench as usual. Although these two youngsters played well in the last round of the league, it is still a bit of a rush to let them play the main team immediately, and let's practice for a while.
Siena is a small club, a very small club, and the team has been in the lower leagues for a long time, only to be promoted to the first division in 2003, but every year there is a fear of whether they will be able to stay in Serie A next season. The style of the team's jersey is somewhat similar to that of the Serie A giants Juventus, so it is also known as the "second team of Juventus".
In this campaign, Parma is playing at home, facing the "Juventus II team", with only one goal: victory!
At the Tardini Stadium, more than 20,000 fans cheered for the home team, desperate for another three points against Siena to make it two wins in a row.
There was less to watch in this game, but it was a different story for Siena striker Reginaldo, who was loaned to Siena by Parma this season and would love to return to Parma next season. Anyway, Parma is bigger than Siena no matter how small he is, and of course he wants to play in a bigger club.
Siena lined up in a 4-3-3 formation, with Reginaldo partnering the top scorer Macarone in the forward line, and another striker Paolucci who was transferred from Juventus, and some media joked that Paolucci came from the "Juventus first team" to the "Juventus second team".
Parma's formation was different from previous rounds, with Guidolin coming out in the traditional 4-4-2, with Strassell and Córdoba starting for Mariga and Lanzaffame respectively, with Palowski and Bodinov up front.
Sure enough, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, Parma attacked directly from the beginning, Córdoba and Strassell were very active, playing as the main force for the first time, and they had to be diligent to make a good impression on the manager.
Fifteen minutes into the game, the duo's hard work and diligence paid off, as Strassell's pass into the box was met by Paloski and Córdoba slotted the ball into the empty net to give his team a 1-0 lead.
The home team's fans were boiling! Guidolin and the players on the bench were also excited, and Zhang Shujie and Li Mu also jumped to the sidelines to cheer.
Parma's lead lasted for around 25 minutes, and in the 40th minute, Siena's top scorer Macarone equalised the scores, assisted by Reginaldo, who had moved to Siena on loan from Parma earlier in the season.
Looking at the cheering "Juventus II team", Guidolin sat in the coach's seat without saying a word. He wondered if the first half had ended in a draw, but Strassell surprised him in the final moments.
The 19-year-old black teenager swooped in from 20 yards out of the box, and Siena goalkeeper Kurci was caught off guard and watched the ball go into the net as Parma regained the lead.
It was Strassell's first goal of the season, and considering he has only played three games, that's definitely a good result for a 19-year-old midfielder.
Less than two minutes after Strassell's goal, the first half was over. Less than 10 minutes into the second half, Guidolin made a bold rotation by replacing the mediocre Gallopa with Li Mu. The formation was also changed to 4-3-1-2
Zhang Shujie looked at Li Mu standing on the court, and felt a little envious in his heart.
Li Mu's position is "1", but because of the presence of Strassel and Cordoba behind him, Li Mu does not have much time to organize attacks, he is more like a shadow striker, ambushing behind the two center forwards, and secretly giving the opponent a fatal blow.
This is also the task given to him by Guidolin, this young man is a combination of playmaking and attacking ability, similar to Roma's Totti and Brazil's Rivaldo, both in the forward midfield position, but their goal efficiency has embarrassed many strikers. I have to say that Guidorin's vision is quite accurate, but Li Mu did not play his due strength after playing.
His reception, running, and passing are all the same as before, there is not much difference, but except for the inverted feet between his teammates, he can't make a real contribution, and he has very little cooperation with his teammates, only some tacit understanding with Strassell.
Strassell has been a team-mate with him for two years at the Under-19s and is familiar with the way he plays. But other people and teammates who have only been on the field for more than 20 minutes are a little unfamiliar, simple transmission and transfer are not a problem, once it comes to the tactical need of straight stops, oblique stops, or shots, Li Mu is a little out of his hands.
Strassell could have played with him, but Strassell had to take on more defensive duties and couldn't take care of him every time, so Li Mu had some trouble, especially when feeding the forwards, Palowski and Bodinov always couldn't get his passes. And when he needs two people to cover, he will always run to the open position, which seems to be unguarded, but the ball can't reach his feet.
Li Mu was a little puzzled, there were no problems during training, why did he get a little out of place with everyone when he came to the competition?
Guidolin saw the problem, and it turned out that there was something "wrong" in the previous training, and that was it.
Li Mu is not used to the presence of Zhang Shujie in the frontcourt.
He himself didn't realize that he used to be a freshman in Xinguang Middle School, and there was no Zhang Shujie on the forward line, but he was still excellent. Objectively speaking, Xinguang Middle School at that time did lack Zhang Shujie, but Li Mu was the offensive core of the whole team, and all the coach's attacks were customized around him, and everyone had to cater to him. At Parma it's a different story, where he's not the heart of the attack and people don't want to cater to him, but they need him to cater to others.
This kind of similar situation abounds on the football field, the former king of San Siro Shevchenko is the tactical center in AC Milan, after going to Chelsea, the tactics no longer revolve around him, coupled with the language barrier, and the poor communication with teammates, the "Ukrainian nuclear warhead" has gradually become a marginal figure.
And the same goes for Kaka. When the Brazilian king arrives at Real Madrid, the core of the team is C. Ronaldo, and Kaka must also get used to the team with C. Ronaldo as the tactical core, if he still regards himself as the offensive center of the team as before, then Kaka will not have a good time in Real Madrid.
In fact, in the past two months in Madrid, Kaka has really not had a good time.
Strassel passed Li Mu diagonally, Li Mu took the ball with his back, wiped it with his feet, and knocked the ball forward with one heel, just like the pass against Sampdoria in the last round. Shortly after the ball flew out, he heard the surprised voices of fans coming from the stands.
He turned to see that the ball fell in a parabola into the penalty area, bounced off the penalty spot, goalkeeper Kurci stepped forward to hold the ball, and Palowski and Bodinov were still standing five metres away from the penalty area.
