Chapter 102: Flowers or Green Leaves?
Li Mu himself was dumbfounded. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
How did the ball go straight into the goalkeeper's arms?
CCTV also did not broadcast the game, and Wang Shihan and others could only watch it in front of the computer. The former members of the school team of Yuying Middle School were a little puzzled when discussing Li Mu's pass in the QQ group, and An Rong said something heaven-shattering: It was not that Li Mu didn't pass well, but that Palowsky and Bodinov couldn't keep up with his consciousness.
An Rong saw Ni Duan, and Gui Duolin naturally saw it. He turned to Manzo and asked, "What do you think?"
Manzo said softly, "You can let Zhang warm up, what do you think?"
Guidolin turned back to Zhang Shujie and said, "Warm up, five minutes." โ
"Yes. Zhang Shujie got up and took off his coat and warmed up on the sidelines.
Li Mu's pass just now is actually just right, Siena's defense has no loopholes, several defenders are staring at Bodinov and Palowski, the defender's position is also very good, the general straight or oblique pass will not work, usually the offensive players will choose to divide the ball to the side in the face of such a defense, and then cross the bottom, and the striker will grab the point in front of the goal.
However, Li Mu unexpectedly hit the back with his heel, and the ball landed at the distance between the last defender and the goalkeeper, if the striker could see Li Mu's thoughts in advance and start at the moment of his pass, then the ball was likely to score. It's a pity that neither Palowsky nor Bodinov realized it. Because of this, Guidolin did not hesitate to let Zhang Shujie move his body and prepare to appear on the stage.
Five minutes later, Zhang Shujie replaced Bodinov and appeared on the court. By this time, the game had reached the sixtieth minute.
After Zhang Shu was on the field, Li Mu seemed to be activated at the same time, plugging, picking, attacking, and shooting, which can be described as handy, and he was not afraid that no one would cover for him. Zhang Shujie is the same, he runs very actively in the front court, as long as Li Mu is in control of the ball, no matter where he runs, Li Mu can pass the ball to his feet, when he has no space to shoot, that seemingly random knock, knock, Li Mu can always rush to the best position.
It's just that Palosky is pitied, there is almost no cooperation between him and Zhang Shujie.
Guidolin saw it all clearly from the sidelines.
In the more than 20 minutes that Zhang Shujie played, Parma had a total of five shots on goal, and he and Li Mu took four of them, but they seemed to have forgotten to wear shooting boots in this game, and all four shots were within the goal frame, but none of them crossed the goal line.
During this period, Parma's attacking small **, Siena was suppressed until the 83rd minute, when Reginaldo completed the team's first shot of the second half, but it did not form a threat and was easily defused by Mirante.
As the clock ticked by, Parma still had a one-goal lead, and Siena picked up the tempo of the attack, making a desperate bet and putting it to death.
It can only be said that Siena's courage is commendable, but due to its lack of strength, its efforts are only in vain. In stoppage time, Zhang Shujie's running in the front court attracted two defenders from the opposing side, and Li Mu's forward insertion also pulled out a gap, Morrone seized the last counterattack opportunity of the game and shot from outside the penalty area to lock the score at 3:1!
Siena, who were two goals down, had given up. Reginaldo was sullen and wanted to face the team in front of Parma and it was a mistake to leave him on loan, but he couldn't.
A minute later, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and as the players celebrated the victory, Guidolin thought about something else. That's a very important thing for the team.
The head coaches of both sides pretended to shake hands, and then simply dealt with the reporter a few words, and then led the players to the locker room. After the game, Guidolin was very tired, and Guidolin didn't say anything unnecessary, asking everyone to take a shower first, change their clothes, and tell them to rest well and train as usual tomorrow.
Zhang Shujie returned to the apartment and fell on the sofa, weak and weak. Li Mu asked, "What's wrong?
Zhang Shujie did not nod or shake his head.
Strassell went up and patted him on the back: "Don't worry, man, no matter how good a striker is, you can't score every game, you just lacked a little luck today." โ
Li Mu said: "Rodney, your words also suit me. โ
"Quite right. Lee, I know you're very hungry to score a goal and you had the most shots on goal today, more than Zhang and Alberto. But I think you're a little impatient. โ
Li Mu smiled: "I feel like you are a coach." โ
"Hey, how can you say that? I said this as if you were friends. โ
"I know. By the way, I almost forgot to congratulate you. โ
"Congratulations on what?"
'You scored your first goal in Serie A. โ
"Haha. Strassel laughed: "I'm going to score more goals in the future." โ
"Good luck. โ
"Thank you. โ
Strassel grabbed the clothes he had left in the living room last night: "I'll go back to my room, do you have any activities at night?"
Li Mu shook his head: "Not for the time being." โ
Strassell shrugged: "Okay, if you're going out, remember to call me." With that, he went into the room.
Zhang Shujie sat up from the sofa.
Li Mu glanced at him and said to him with a smile: "Have you figured it out......?"
"Papaya, I understand what you said. It's not as good as a reserve team game or a high school league, and it's not realistic to score goals in every game. โ
"Are you still depressed?"
"I was thinking that once we were separated, it was a bit out of place. Just like you ...... before."
Li Mu waved his hand: "Don't say it, I know, I know what you want to express." โ
"Don't you care?"
"It's true that I care, but I don't think about it often, and thinking too much is not good for the future. โ
Zhang Shujie pondered: "This kind of thing hasn't happened to me yet. But if we don't change, sooner or later I'll be in the same situation as you. โ
Li Muchang sighed: "I used to be the core of the team, but one day when I am no longer the 'true core', I will feel that my value has decreased and I can't play at the highest level." looked at Zhang Shujie: "You and I, it's the same." โ
Once upon a time, one was the playmaker of the attack, and all the attacks had to be launched from under his feet, and the other was the finisher of the attack, and all the shots had to be done by him. But now it's different, in Parma, the midfield is moved by Morrone and Cรณrdoba, and the arrowhead on the forward line is Paloski again, and Li Mu and Zhang Shujie have to cooperate with these players. They are not flowers now, they are green leaves, green leaves that set off flowers.
Zhang Shujie lay on the sofa: "Forget it, these are still arranged by the coach." The problems that we can see, the coach must also see. โ
Li Mu also said: "Now we don't care whether we are the protagonist or the supporting role, we will get the main position first." โ
The head coach's office.
Guidolin and Manzo were talking about something, and it was Guidolin who talked a lot, and Manzo basically put forward some of his own opinions, after all, someone else was the head coach of the team, and he was just an assistant coach.
"How's that, Andrea, am I right?" said Guidolin with a smile on his face, which had already told Manzo that the answer was yes.
Manzo laughed, "You're right. But I don't think that's what we're talking about right now. โ
"That's why I called you to come and talk with me. โ
These two coaches are talking about Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, and it is not difficult to see that taking the time to talk about those two teenagers alone can prove that they still occupy a lot of weight in the hearts of coaches.
Manzo took a sip of coffee and said, "As you said, it's not that Li Mu is out of the tactical system, but that his awareness is too strong, and he can create opportunities for the striker to shoot in a dense defense, but it's just ......"
"It's just that Valery (Bodinov) and Alberto (Palosky) didn't realize it at that time. โ
Manzo nodded slightly: "That Chinese kid has a very wide field of vision, when Valeri, Alberto and Siena goalkeeper Kurci were in a triangle position, and his overhead knock ball was passed right in the middle of the three. You also know the situation on the field, the position of the opposing defender is not a problem, only that 'point' is the only opportunity to attack. โ
Guidolin said lightly: "In the match with Sampdoria, Li Mu also had such a pass. โ
Zhang Shujie was still on the court at that time, and the ball was also grabbed by Zhang. โ
Guidolin stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the court.
Manzo also got up and walked over to him, saying, "Are you thinking that the two of them need a little change?"
"So far, Zhang's performance is quite qualified, that's because every time he appears, Li Mu is there, if they are separated......"
"I'm afraid he's going to be out of par. โ
Guidolin smiled at this time: "It's really strange, the game is over, we have won, why should I talk to you about this? It was just a waste of a scoring opportunity, and it is not worth discussing separately." โ
Manzo smiled and walked back and sat down in his chair: "It's simple, you see a key. โ
"Oh?" Guidolin turned to look at Manzo and asked knowingly, "What's the key?"
"In our team, no striker or midfielder can keep up with the consciousness of Zhang and Lee. To put it simply, only the two of them have the potential to become big-name stars in Parma now. โ
"You're up to a decision based on this game?"
"I've been with them for a year in the youth team and I know better than you how capable they are. What's more, it's not just that I said this in today's game, you just said it, and it was the same in the last round. โ
In the last round of the league against Sampdoria, Li Mu turned his back to the goal for 30 meters, and his heel suddenly knocked the ball to the forward, Palowski and Bodinov were not ready in advance, but Zhang Shujie started quickly, shook off Zauri, who was closely following, and scored the ball.
If one time can be regarded as accidental, but it can be two times in a row, it is by no means explained by "luck" alone.
Li Mu's overall view and Zhang Shujie's running and shooting are all possessed by extremely good players.
"Big stars?" Guidolin muttered to himself.
Manzo put down the cup in his hand and said, "I mean, just because they have this potential doesn't mean they will be famous all over the world." When Alberto came out of nowhere from AC Milan, didn't he also think that he was Inzaghi's successor? โ
"That ******** kid needs to change. โ
"How do you want to change?"
"Andrea, I know that in the past they were the central players of the team under you, but at Parma they are not suitable, at least not yet. โ
Manzo nodded lightly: "They are too young, and the combined experience of playing in Serie A is less than ninety minutes, and they obviously can't take on this heavy responsibility." โ
"Then let's talk about it later, let them play a supporting role first. โ
"I'm afraid that when they have the ability to be the protagonist, Parma won't be able to keep them. โ
"So what? If one day they do make a name for themselves, I have cultivated them, to say the least. Hmph, I don't believe I'm really inferior to Fabio's old fox. โ
When Guidolin refers to Fabio, he is referring to Italy's local iron coach Fabio Capello! This veteran coach is full of honors and is the originator of the "1:0" doctrine, he has led AC Milan to four Serie A titles, and has also created a record of 58 games unbeaten that no one has been able to break so far! Guidolin himself once said: "I am just a little bit closer to Capello." โ
This is a fact, but Guidolin is a little unwilling. In terms of honor, it is impossible for him to catch up with Capello, and he can only surpass this generation of coaches in the cultivation of players.
Capello has brought out superstars such as De Rossi and Cassano, and Guidolin also has dazzling names such as Montella and Grosso, but they are not loud enough compared to the former. Guidolin is eager to surpass Capello and the glory can't catch up, so start with the players.
It's just that he still has some sighs in his heart, not for anything else, just because Zhang Shujie and Li Mu were not born in Italy. But although players have borders, football has no borders, and for today's Guidolin, there are no more people for him to choose.
