Chapter 220: The Comeback Game

The great changes of the Chinese Football Association have stolen the limelight that should have belonged to Zhang Shujie and dominated the headlines of major media. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although I already knew that the head coach of the National Olympic team would be An Rong, because the announcement was too fast, An Rong had not had time to go to the National Olympic team, and some of the procedures and processes were estimated to have to wait until next week to officially pick up the whip.

However, many people still congratulated An Rong, Zhang Shujie publicly supported An Rong, Yan Tao also said that An Rong is fully worthy of the position of head coach of the National Olympic team, and Li Mu said from the side that he believes that An Rong's coaching ability will not be a problem. Wang Shihan, Zhou Ying, Pan Yongcheng and others also called An Rong privately to congratulate him on becoming the coach of the National Olympic team.

The domestic turmoil lasted for nearly a week before it gradually dissipated, but this is only temporary, and I believe that when An Rong leads the National Olympic team, the domestic media will once again focus on him.

On Sunday, March 6, the 28th round of Serie A began, with Parma travelling to the city of Verona to take on Chievo away. At the pre-match press conference, Marino had already admitted that Zhang Shujie would make his debut, and the Chinese media and fans also looked back at the Serie A arena, looking forward to the twin stars of Zhang Shujie and Li Mu.

Chen Hui published an article in the "Sports Weekly" titled "China's Striker Returns to the Starter", which listed Zhang Shujie's various statistics this season in detail, in addition to goals and assists, including the number of shots, shots on target, number of dribbles, successful conversion rate of shots, etc., and used to highlight the importance of Zhang Shujie to Parma. In fact, even if he didn't write this report, a discerning person would know Zhang Shujie's status to Parma.

Chievo have never been a strong team in Serie A, having only made their debut in Serie A in 2001/2002 once and have not improved in the following nine years, fighting relegation almost every year. Last season, Chievo finished 16th in the league with just 44 points from 38 games, and stayed in Serie A in a thrilling way.

So no matter how weak Parma is today, it is much stronger than Chievo. What's more, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu both returned and played, and Marino had no reason not to win this game.

Chievo may not be strong, but the team is not all generic, like Pelissier, who is also a minor name in Serie A, having scored 22 league goals in the 2007/2008 season, but Chievo was already in the second division at the time.....

Regardless, Parma's defenders should pay more attention to Pelissier to avoid being scored by him carelessly. Chievo will of course also take good care of Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, and Parma's record around the winter break has proven how inseparable the team is from these two.

When Zhang Shujie walked out of the players' tunnel, he heard the fans who came with the team burst into loud applause, many fans shouted his name, and he also waved his hand in the direction of the stands generously.

Parma's formation was 4312, while Chievo fielded the traditional 442 formation, with Chievo kicking off first in the first half, and their main point of attack was only one, that is, their captain Pellisier.

It was only a short time since the start of the game, and both sides played a little cautiously and did not attack. Chievo's players basically tried to find Pelissier as soon as they got the ball, but Parma guarded him so tightly that Chievo's ball could not reach his feet, and Pelissier did not make any impact on Parma's goal.

Parma is also very patient, and the front trio of Zhang Shujie, Li Mu and Qiao Wenco all have good offensive ability, and Chievo is also a little difficult to defend. But I don't know if it's because Zhang Shujie has just recovered from injury, his body hasn't fully adjusted, and his current performance on the field can only be regarded as decent, with no brilliance or mistakes.

But the time is still there, it's been less than ten minutes, maybe Zhang Shujie is just warming up now, and when the physical activity starts, the feeling will naturally come up, you must know that the fans' expectations for him are very high.

In the fourteenth minute of the game, Giovinco split the ball to the left, and Modesto slanted to Li Mu, who just stopped the ball and Chievo's defender Moreiro slammed to his side.

Li Mu flipped his ankle twice, and the ball slipped around his foot twice, just not far from his feet. Morero did not dare to go out without permission to rob, the technology of this Chinese in front of him is not a joke, and a careless person will be deceived by his feints.

In fact, Morero has been deceived, his eyes are fixed on the ball at Li Mu's feet, and he can't guess whether this guy is passing or breaking. Li Mu shook for a moment, and Morero, who was a little nervous, also moved, but Li Mu's next move was not to pass, but to pick the ball out.

When he picked up the ball, he stood still, just like the "flower finger" in a martial arts novel, and picked the ball into the air very lightly, passed over everyone's heads, and fell towards the penalty area. Zhang Shujie, who was ambushed in the crowd, jumped to the top, pressed Cesar, who was defending him, and hit the goal with his head. The ball bounced off the penalty area, bounced off the crossbar and landed just outside the baseline.

Chievo's whole team had a false alarm.

Zhang Shujie smiled bitterly and gave Li Mu a thumbs up, the ball was passed beautifully, and if he didn't score, he only blamed Zhang Shujie for being a little unlucky, or because the height of the goal was not high enough.

Li Mu smiled, didn't say anything, turned around and ran back.

Chen Hui, who was in the press box, said to Shen Hao: "It seems that Zhang Shujie is in good shape. ”

Shen Hao nodded and said, "Yes, although the ball didn't go in, the strength is in place." Judging from his jump just now, his injury should not have any effect on him. ”

"Hopefully he can do the same and score in the first game after recovering from injury. His header just now was very similar to Li Mu's last ball, the difference was that Li Mu pushed the ball in. ”

During the conversation, Chievo launched a counter-attack on Parma, with Rigoni squirting the goalkeeper in midfield for a goal-kick before team-mate Guana took possession of the ball and passed it to Boriacino before Morrone could get up.

The Uruguayan striker has been in Italy for four years and is still unknown, and the only people who can recognise him are probably his relatives and the local TV station.

But Bogliacchino didn't care about this, he did his duty conscientiously. He glanced at Pelissier's position, and it happened that Pelissier was also raising his hand to ask for the ball, so Boriacino kicked the ball to him.

Patsy stepped forward to defend and put his hand against his back, forcing him to turn his back to goal. Perissier glanced at his partner Granoche and, seeing that he was in a better position, turned his back to the goal and sent the ball back diagonally, which Granoche quickly cut in to create a short one-on-one ball.

However, because the distance was too short, Granoche could not run before the ball was confiscated by the attacking Mirante. Strictly speaking, Chievo's attacking combination was still good this time, but Parma's defense was better this time, and there were no holes.

Mirante threw the ball to Gobby, Gobby handed it to Modesto, Chievo counter-attacked in front, Modesto's ball could not pass to half the court, had to pass back to Gobby, Pelissier rushed over, Gobby crossed Pasi, Granoch pressed it again, and Parsi passed back to Mirante.

As a result, the ball also temporarily fell to Parma's central midfield, with Morrone and Gallopa twice trying to play a long pass straight up the pitch, but both were pushed out by the opposing defenders.

Chievo's overall strength was not good, and he couldn't grab it for a while, so he slowly slowed down the density of the grab. However, Parma did not attack immediately, they were still waiting for their chance. Sometimes, however, too much waiting can lead to tragedy.

Gallopa made a mistake in passing, and was cut off by Rigoni, and Gallopa immediately went up to try to get it back. But he rushed too quickly, and instead of getting the ball back, he was tripped by Rigoni, who didn't take it much and passed the ball to Bogliano.

Parma's half-time break was a pure accident, and the players also hurriedly retreated to defend, and Chievo took advantage of their unstable formation to press heavily and wanted to play a surprise attack.

Bogliacino and Graceno made a one-two, with the latter putting the ball at the feet of Pellisier. At this moment, the Chievo captain had just stepped into the penalty area, the ball was at his feet, and he didn't stop, raising his right foot to shoot.

At the critical moment, Mirante made a god-level save, he leaned sideways on the ground, plucked the ball with his right hand, the speed of the ball rolling decreased, and he immediately got up and pounced, pressing the ball firmly under him.

Pelissier knelt on the ground with his hands on his thighs, but there was not much time for him to regret it now, Parma had already launched a counterattack!

After Chievo successfully broke the ball in midfield, he pressed almost all the way and wanted to score a point with a sudden attack, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful, and Parma of course had to hurry back to counterattack. There is a striker like Zhang Shujie in the team, who integrates speed and technology, and it is not a problem to counterattack at all.

Parma started with Mirante and launched a quick counterattack, and after the ball passed under the feet of A. Lucarelli and Morrone, it passed to Giovinco, who looked up and sent the ball to Zhang Shujie without thinking.

Zhang Shujie is in the right-to-center position, there are no teammates of his own in front of him, but there are three Chievo players, and Jokic, who is closest to him, has come up to defend him.

Zhang Shujie couldn't wait for his teammates, so he decided to rush forward with the ball himself. Jokic is about a metre and a half away from him, which is a good defensive position, and as long as the defenders don't make their own moves, it's not so easy for the offensive team to get over.

Zhang Shujie dribbled the ball between his feet, and slowly moved forward with the instep of his foot and the ball with the soles of his feet. Jokic didn't dare to grab it, so he could only step back as he progressed, and in the process of this short section, the distance between the two was also shortened, and more importantly, Zhang Shujie's teammates also ran up from the left and middle to give him support.

Jokic also had to prevent Zhang Shujie's pass, and then at this moment, I saw Zhang Shujie's left foot clockwise in front of the ball, took a step, dragged his right foot behind his left foot to form a cross, and gently rubbed the ball, the ball pressed against the lawn, and passed between Jokic's legs.

"Cross threading needle" is outstanding!

Jokic seemed a little stunned, but Zhang Shujie had already bypassed him and came behind him to regain control of the ball. By the time Jokic turned around to chase after him, Zhang Shujie had already walked away with the ball.

Mantovani went for a steal, but Zhang Shujie used a simpler and more brutal method, he saw an open field in front of him, and kicked the ball forward with a sharp acceleration and went around the other side of Mantovani.

Poor Mantovani rushed too quickly, and he was no longer able to stop Zhang Shujie.

Parma was wearing a white jersey symbolizing the away team uniform, and the fans in the stands only saw a white figure rushing past the field, Chen Hui and Shen Hao even appeared in their heads at this moment: 10.3!

This is Zhang Shujie's 100-meter speed, ten seconds three. Zhang Shujie had a similar sprint against Inter Milan, and today, the scene was repeated at the Bent Gordy Stadium.

There was no defender in front of him, Zhang Shujie quickly dribbled the ball to the right side of the periphery of the penalty area, and if he shot here, it was unlikely that he would score, so he chose to pass.

Knocking on the penalty area, Giovinco grabbed the front point, but he didn't grab it, Zhang Shujie found that he seemed to be pushed by the opposing defender, lost his balance, and had to leak the ball to the back, Li Mu and Morrone formed a double ghost shot, Morrone was a little faster, Li Mu also let go, the ball went to the middle, Morrone swept in front of the goal, and the ball flew under the armpit of goalkeeper Sorrentino and flew into the goal.
