Chapter 166: Complete Victory
After Cesena teed off on the centre circle, the game resumed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Taking advantage of this tee-off, Cesena was finally able to organize the attack well. After six or seven passes at the back, they saw that it was always difficult to get through the midfield, and several of the midfielders in the team were about to become defenders.
Parma is deliberately trying to bully this promoted team, the defensive area is a little forward, Cesena does not have much to do, can only stabilize as much as possible not to lose the ball, and draw out Parma's defenders and then use long passes to counterattack.
However, they conceded before their idea could materialize. The ball was grabbed by captain Morrone, and the position of the lost ball was in the back of Cesena, fortunately, Cesena's players had withdrawn deeply, and Morrone could not give the ball to the striker for a short time after grabbing the ball, so he had to pass the ball back.
Zaccardo received the ball and passed it to A. Lucarelli, who in turn gave it to Pasi, who in turn gave it to Morrone, and after a few such passes, the ball was back to square one.
Morrone looked at several attacking players in the frontcourt, Zhang Shujie, Li Mu, Giovinco and Bodinov were all running to ask for the ball, and the defense around the four people was very tight, and the effect of passing to everyone was the same. He decided to give Giovinco first, and attract the opponent's forces in the middle.
Giovinco controlled the ball twice, this middle area has always been the most heavily defended area, and he will inevitably be taken care of by the Cesena players this time, Lauro and Appia two pasted to him, Giovinco glanced at the left side of the corner of his eye, picked it up at his feet, and the ball flew towards Li Mu.
Li Mu only had one defender by his side, and when the ball came to him, Skaroto wanted to get stuck in front of Li Mu and cut off the ball, but Li Mu hooked his foot, and the ball flew over Skellotto's head and flew behind him.
In front of the goal, there is only one goalkeeper left in front of the goal, Li Mu did not wait for the ball to land, picked up his left leg and volleyed vigorously, in the face of this powerful shot, the forty-year-old goalkeeper Antonioli was fully prepared and struggled to save the ball from the bottom line. Parma get a corner.
Giovinco drove the ball out, Zhang Shujie grabbed the first point, and the header hit the goal, and the ball was slightly over the crossbar.
In the first half, Parma was basically attacking and Cesena was defending. The team, who had arrived in Serie A for the first time in nearly two decades, did not seem to have adapted to the fierce competition of Serie A, and until the forty-fifth minute, they had only one shot on goal.
In two minutes of stoppage time, Giovinco had a brace but his shot was denied by the post.
At half-time, Marino told his players: "You guys have been doing well, at least so far, there haven't been any big mistakes, and the second half is still like this, I won't change personnel for the time being." ”
Cesena also made no changes to their personnel, stepping up a bit in the second half and slotting up their attack in the 49th minute was the first time the second shot on goal by striker Bodani.
The shot was of good quality, and if it weren't for Mirante's excellent positioning, Cesena would have equalised. Head coach Ficadenti seemed to see a little hope, and he walked out of the dugout, stood on the sidelines and began to direct the team's attack.
But it only took four minutes for Parma to let the flames of attack he had just ignited extinguished.
Giovinco passed Li Mu diagonally, Li Mu shook the ball past Skeloto, crossed the penalty area, Bodinov rushed to advance the ball to the goal before Antonioli, 2:0!
The home fans in the stands were silent, but the visiting fans who came to the Dino Manucci Stadium with Parma became more and more frenzied, and this Cesena was really weak, and after less than a kick, he was two goals behind.
Ficadenti was still standing on the sidelines, his hands on his chest, frowning silently. Marino, on the other hand, sat in the coach's seat with Erlang's legs crossed, with a smile in his eyes.
It was Bodinov's first goal of the season and it was a very important goal that cemented Parma's advantage.
Ten minutes have been played in the second half, Li Mu has given an assist, and Zhang Shujie has not shown much for the time being, and he rarely even has the ball. It wasn't until fifty-three minutes that he really ushered in his chance to be on camera.
Yuto Nagatomo is in charge of defending him.
Zhang Shujie bent down slightly, his feet shook twice, Chang Youyou was unmoved, his eyes widened and stared at the ball at Zhang Shujie's feet, it seemed that he was afraid that the ball would suddenly disappear.
After Zhang Shujie controlled it for about seven or eight seconds, the ball was really "gone" and was no longer at his feet.
He passed the ball to Giovinco, who knocked it to Gallopa, who pretended to pass to the small penalty area, but he just glanced at it and finally gave the ball to Zhang Shujie.
Nagatomo Yudu pressed up again.
In the face of Zhang Shujie's left and right flashes, the Japanese player never moved his body and kept a distance of about one meter from the opponent. If Zhang Shujie goes further, he will take a step back, if Zhang Shujie retreats a little, he will press forward a little, in short, he must control the defensive area within his ability.
Zhang Shujie didn't entangle with him for too long, and passed the ball back to Zaccardo who assisted forward, Zaccardo passed directly to the small penalty area, although Bodinov reached the first point, but did not hit the right part, the ball bounced behind him, Li Mu wanted to outflank, and was destroyed by Skellotto out of the bottom line. Corner kick.
It was Parma's first corner of the second half and the fifth of the game. Giovinco drove into the box and Antonioli leaped to his feet and plucked the ball off.
Parma hurried back to defend and Cesena was about to start attacking, so it can be said that the game has played so far, and their attacking opportunities can only be launched in this way. There is no way to do it, the team is too weak, if they want to win, no matter who the opponent is, they can only cause an upset, but unfortunately Serie A has been played for seven rounds, and Cesena has not yet created an upset. In the first six rounds, they drew two and lost four.
Cesena managed to get to Parma in the second half and they cherished the opportunity, Bodani played the ball to Maronga, who saw that the shot was hopeless and gave Bodani back, and his team-mate Gacellini had cut in from him, and Bodani slipped the ball to him.
The second highlight of the game was Bodani's beautiful ball that Gascherini had almost made a one-on-one shot, but Zacardo had already run from his side as fast as he could, and Gascherini no longer hesitated to raise his foot to shoot.
Mirante was ready to make a save, but Gascheri was distracted by Zaccardo and fired the ball into an anti-aircraft gun. The ball flew into the blue sky and landed in the stands.
Gascherini was much annoyed that the ball could theoretically have been kicked into the back of the net, but his footwork was a little worse and he wasted the opportunity. Ficadenti, who was outside the field, shook his hands angrily and walked back to the coach's box.
Then Cesena never got such a good chance again, but Parma continued to attack, wave after wave, Cesena contracted the defense to avoid conceding again.
Zhang Shujie and Nagatomo are facing each other again, this is the fifth direct dialogue between the two in this game, and Nagatomo Yu is still defending as before. Zhang Shujie didn't want to spend time with him in order to avoid delaying the attack, but when he saw that his teammates around him did not come forward to respond, he decided to break through with the ball this time.
With a false left foot, the ball went down with his right foot, and Yuto Nagatomo also followed him to the bottom line. At this time, Zhang Shujie's left heel knocked back slightly, his body quickly turned, and when he was about to dribble the ball forward, Nagatomo Yudu stretched out a kick and poked the ball out.
This time in the contest, Zhang Shujie failed to break through the defense of Yuto Nagatomo.
Nagatomo Yudu left Zhang Shujie with a smile, which was not very friendly and had a hint of provocation. Zhang Shujie slapped his jersey and shot back at the Japanese with a smile.
Five minutes later, Parma attacked in front of the Cesena penalty area again, Li Mu received a pass from Galopa and shot directly at the goal, but Antonioli pounced the ball at his feet again, but he also lost the opportunity to shoot, and saw Zhang Shujie in the distance raising his hand to ask for the ball, so he picked the ball over.
The position is in the big penalty area, Nagatomo You didn't dare to move too much, Zhang Shujie repeated the previous feint, shook his left foot, and chose to break through from the other side with the ball with his right foot.
He strode out, thinking that he could stop Zhang Shujie's ball, but seeing Zhang Shujie's light push with his arch, the ball leaked between Nagatomo Yudu's open legs, Zhang Shujie immediately accelerated and swung his right arm to squeeze Nagatomo Yudu behind him.
The Japanese, who is only 1.70 meters tall, have no physical advantage in front of Zhang Shujie, who is 1.85 meters tall.
Zhang Shujie's right arm was almost pressed on Nagatomo Yuto's shoulder, and the short Japanese player tried his best to squeeze to the front, but he didn't succeed, he pulled Zhang Shujie's clothes, and his face became a little hideous in the scramble.
Nagatomo Yu was shaken by Zhang Shujie, and teammate Pellegrino stepped forward to fill in the position. Zhang Shujie is in a particularly good position, he can shoot or cross to the front of the small penalty area. Pellegrino couldn't guess whether he was passing or shooting, and to be on the safe side, Pellegrino was stuck in his shooting path, and if he wanted to pass the ball, he would leave it to someone else.
Although Zhang Shujie is a striker, it is not a rational choice to force a shot when there is no shooting angle at all, he leans on Shen Hao's constant harassment of Nagatomo Yuto, and diagonally passes the ball to six yards in front of the small penalty area.
Cesena's penalty area was chaotic, Bodinov and Li Mu didn't grab the ball, Giovinco also failed to grab the point under the opponent's defense, but Cesena did not escape this catastrophe, Gallopa appeared at the far post, he rushed into the box and fell to the ground, the ball hit Antonioli and bounced into the goal.
The game was already in the 77th minute, and in front of the weak Cesena, the three-goal lead was already sealed.
Marino couldn't be happier, the team had gone three games without a win, and this game finally found a bit of dignity in a promoted team. The rest of the game Cesena had no intention of attacking again, and Ficadenti's substitutions at this point seemed meaningless.
Marino looked at Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, although the two of them did not score in the game, one of them gave an assist, Marino was considering whether to give them a little more time to score a goal. But on second thought, the opponent in the next round is Roma! It is better to let these two main players rest.
So he replaced the two one after another, and after the two walked out of the court, Marino also gave the two of them a hug. Despite not scoring goals, in Marino's eyes, the role of these two young Chinese players in the team is irreplaceable.
Giovinco's long-range shot went wide of the post and Antonioli fired in a goal-kick that gave Parma their first win in four league games as the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game as Giovinco fired wide of the post and Antonioli fired a goal-kick from Antonioli to hit the ball and blow the whistle for the end of the game. Marino went to shake hands with Ficcadenti, who was also very gracious and did not refuse.
Perhaps in his mind, not being able to beat Parma, who finished eighth in Serie A last season, is not a shame.
Marino took the players to the locker room and said a few words before letting the players bathe and change their clothes. This victory only means that Parma has ended a three-game winless streak, but it doesn't mean much else, and next Sunday they will welcome a mighty Roma at the Stadio Tardini!
