Chapter 294: The Leader Who Got His Wish

A draw allowed the Chinese Olympic team to continue to rank first in Group A, but for the result and process of the game, Chinese fans and the media thought it was not perfect, although the performance of the players was remarkable, but the Japanese referee let the three points in the hands of the Chinese team fly away.

As soon as the game ended, the Internet was filled with criticism and abuse from fans against the referee. What is the scolding of these male fans that Zhou Ying and Wang Shihan heard in the cafeteria? The scolding on the Internet is terrible, cursing fathers and scolding mothers, greeting ancestors, and digging ancestral graves...... In short, all the curses imaginable were all on the referee's body.

But what can this be? No matter how hard you scold, the score will not change.

Tonight, CCTV 5 will broadcast the thirteenth round of the Serie A League, Juventus away against Lazio, Wang Shihan and Zhou Ying can't watch it in the canteen, because the game is held in the early morning of Beijing time, and the canteen has long been closed at this time, so they can only go back to their dormitories to watch.

In fact, both of them were a little distressed about this issue, because the game was too late, watching the game in the dormitory would affect their roommates to some extent, but they still couldn't help but want to watch it. Especially Wang Shihan, she will not miss any Zhang Shujie's games, unless there is something very important, she will stay up all night to watch. Zhou Ying sometimes can't hold on, so she will go to bed early and watch the news the next day.

Even so, Wang Shihan will still hide in the quilt with his notebook to watch the ball, trying to minimize the impact on his roommates.

*************

"You mean, the National Olympic team drew with South Korea away?" Zhang Shujie asked Wang Shihan on the phone about the situation of the National Olympic team.

"Yes, the Japanese referee misjudged and blew Chen Zihua's goal away, otherwise China would have won. ”

"It can't be helped, there is no way to avoid misjudgments in football. Chen Zihua: Are they doing well?"

"It's all good, Xu Ziyi's goal was passed by him. ”

"Ma Dashuai, that guy, must be very unhappy when he loses the ball. Zhang Shujie said thoughtfully.

Wang Shihan said: "Now I just hope to beat South Korea at home in the next round. ”

"Hopefully, since 1983, the Chinese Olympic team has never defeated South Korea. I also hope that Coach An can make history with this group of Olympic team members. ”

"You have to believe in Coach An Rong, and you have to believe in Chen Zihua. ”

"Well, I believe that. Okay, let's not talk about it, I'm going to pack up, I'm going to go to the Olympic Stadium, and today's opponent is Lazio. ”

"Okay, I'll watch you play in the evening. ”

"Don't look at it, it's going to be late in China, and you have to go to class tomorrow. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm measured. ”

"Every time you do that, not at all obedient. ”

"I'm disobedient, what do you want to do to me?" Wang Shihan said with a grin.

Zhang Shujie also smiled: "What else can I do with you? ”

"You...... Good rascal. I won't tell you, Zhou Ying is here, I'll hang up the phone first. ”

"Okay, bye-bye. Remember not to watch the game at night and go to bed early. ”

"Got it. Bye. After speaking, Wang Shihan hung up the phone.

Don't let me watch the game? I want to watch it, but he can't care if it's so far away anyway. Wang Shihan smiled slyly.

Zhou Ying walked over and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Wang Shihan shook his head: "It's nothing." Didn't you call Chen Zihua?"

"How do you fight now? There's something going on over there, he'll call later. ”

"So where am I going now?

"Why are you going back so early? Let's go eat. ”

"You still have so many snacks that haven't fed you?"

"Snacks are not enough in the first place. I said, what are you afraid of? Our physique is different from ordinary people, we can't get fat after eating, let's eat with an open stomach, let's go, I'll treat you. Zhou Ying pulled Wang Shihan and walked back to the cafeteria.

"I just came out of the cafeteria and I'm going in again. Don't pull it, I didn't say I wouldn't go with you......"

Turin, Italy.

It was exactly half past three when Zhang Shujie and Li Mu left the villa, and they were going to take the team bus with their teammates to the Olympic Stadium in Rome. Li Mu knew the record of the Chinese Olympic team from Zhang Shujie, and he couldn't defeat South Korea, and he also felt sorry for the National Olympic team. But like Zhang Shujie, he can only regret that they can't do anything now, and they must focus on the upcoming game.

Lazio have been better this season than last season and currently sit fourth in the league, with the Blue Eagles still aiming for the Champions League, with the league title having to do their best, after all, the resurgent Juventus and defending champions AC Milan are the favourites to win the title.

Juventus adopted a 352 formation, Li Mu and Zhang Shujie as the starting forwards, the two of them left and right, Li Mu's position is still a little back, and Zhang Shujie is on the right side of the center, making a "center forward who is not a center." ”

Many media outlets think it's going to be a tough game, with Roma Sport believing that Lazio will cause Juventus a lot of trouble at home, and Torino Sport also thinking that the Blue Eagles are very difficult to deal with, knowing that the Stadio Olimpico is the second largest stadium in Italy after San Siro, with a capacity of 80,000 people, and the pressure caused by the visitors here can be imagined.

However, the result was a shocking one, as Juventus beat Lazio 3-0 away at Lazio after 90 minutes of intense action, with the Bianconeri sealing an early victory in the 76th minute. Lazio's players are generally out of form, and the newly transferred German striker Klose has been performing well in the previous games, either scoring goals or assists, but this game was lost in the Juventus penalty area.

Klose's dumb fire also led to Lazio's rout at home. Although the Bianconeri's forward partners Zhang Shujie and Li Mu did not score, the two each contributed an assist to their teammates, and Li Mu also created a penalty for Zhang Shujie, and the two also contributed to the team's victory.

Winning Lazio away also ended Juventus' embarrassment of three consecutive rounds of winlessness, and tightly bitten AC Milan in the standings. The two teams in the top two of the table are only one point apart, but the third-place team is 10 and 11 points away respectively!

In the 14th round, Juventus hosted Cesena, and the difference in strength between the two teams is not small, but it is not without highlights. At the beginning of the season, Juventus loaned Iaquinta to Cesena for Zhang Shujie, for which Iaquinta was angry, he himself wanted to stay at Juventus, but Marotta was reluctant to want him.

Facing his old club today, Iaquinta also wants to prove his strength. Killing an old boss is not a strange thing to do on the football field, many stars have done it, and Iaquinta hopes that he can make Juventus regret abandoning him like those who came before him.

Unfortunately, the Chiellini-led backline did not allow his wishful thinking to succeed, and Iaquinta was almost invisible throughout the game, with the only shot on goal easily saved by Buffon. However, Zhang Shujie, who squeezed out his position in Juventus, played extremely dazzlingly.

The Bianconeri's new no.9 was lively on the pitch, scoring his seventh league goal of the season with a left-footed effort from Vidal's pass in the 12th minute, the first of the game, to give his side the lead.

He then shook off two Cesena defenders in the 67th minute and slotted home from a tight angle on the left side of the penalty area to increase his league tally to eight. Of those eight goals, he only used eleven games in total!

Eleven games, eight goals, a goal rate of an astonishing 0.72! What a terrifying efficiency! With Zhang Shujie's brace, Juventus defeated Cesena 2-0. After the game, Conte had to sigh: "He's really a very good striker, I can hardly see weaknesses in him!"

"Torino Sport" also praised: "Zhang Shujie has skills, speed, and his header is not bad, he is a very perfect striker." ”

Perhaps "Torino Sports Newspaper" undercounted one of Zhang Shujie's statistics, that is, assists, he has already contributed two assists for his teammates. And in the 15th round against Roma, he increased his number of assists to three.

Juventus played 2-2 away at Roma, the fifth draw of the season for the Old Lady, and three of those games were 2-2! Zhang Shujie did not score in the game, nor did Li Mu, but the team's two goals came from the assists of the two, and this is the second time that the two have assists in the same game.

Li Mu has five assists, making him the team's second-best assister, behind only Andrea Pirlo's six. Although the names of the two Chinese teenagers are not on the goal books, no one can deny their credit, and Juventus are still unbeaten in the league so far, in addition to a solid backline, the attacking of the two is also essential.

Despite picking up just one point, rivals AC Milan suffered a surprise defeat to Bologna in this round, with Juventus equalling them on points. With two more goal difference than AC Milan, Juventus were able to return to the top of the table.

On December 18, the 16th round of Serie A, the last game before the winter break, Juventus is very eager to have a pleasant holiday after the game, provided that they can keep their top spot in the league, and winning is naturally the team's primary goal.

If you want to win, you have to score, and this heavy responsibility falls on Zhang Shujie and Li Mu. The two youngsters have become the new darlings of fans, so let's take a look at their stats: Zhang Shu played 12 games and scored eight goals and provided three assists, while Li Mu played 10 games and scored four goals and provided five assists. On average, only one game between the two is not directly related to them, and the rest of the games are either goals or assists, who doesn't like such a player?

Juventus' opponent in this round is Novara, a relegation team. Juventus, who played at home, had the upper hand, and many fans wore the team's "No. 9" and "No. 11" shirts, with No. 9 being the most, because Zhang Shujie's overall performance was more eye-catching than Li Mu.

Li Mu is not an idle person, he scored the first goal, a brilliant volley to give Juventus a home lead over Novara. After he scored, he saw a lot of fans waving his number 11 shirt, which also showed how much the Bianconeri supporters loved him.

Some media have likened him to the "new Nedved", but to be fair, he and Nedved only have the same jersey number and a completely different style of play. His position is similar to that of Piero, the prince of the zebras, but his skills are more flashy than Piero's, his start is faster, and he is younger than Piero and has a brighter future.

Li Mu had already scored, Zhang Shujie did not lag behind, just ten minutes into the second half, he extended the score to 2:0 for Juventus! With the strength of Novara, it is impossible to take three points from the mighty Bianconeri in the remaining time, and there is still more than half an hour to go, but no one will think that Novara has a chance to win.

After Zhang Shujie's goal, the fans became even more crazy, and the black and white striped shirts marked with the Arabic numerals "9" flew all over the field, which is exactly the current number of goals scored by Zhang Shujie. There is still time and there is a possibility that he will continue to increase his goal tally.

Before the end of the game, he had scored another goal, but the referee thought that Vidal blocked the view of the opposing goalkeeper, and his goal was ruthlessly cancelled by the referee. But it didn't matter, Juventus won 2-0 at home. AC Milan also won at the other venue, with the score at 3:1, so that Juventus still had a goal difference of two goals ahead of AC Milan, and in the last game before the winter break, the Bianconeri retained their position as they wished, and won the "halfway title" of Serie A.
