Chapter Twenty-Eight: An Assist

"Look, Zhang Yuan is out!" Mai Xuewen exclaimed, and he stood up and waved his arms vigorously.

"Really, Zhang is out!" Docilia stood up and waved her arms.

It's a pity that their actions didn't attract Zhang Yuan's attention, not because they were too far away, but because Zhang Yuan's attention wasn't on their side at all.

Rimini's live commentator also began to broadcast: " Now that the game has been going on for 70 minutes, Coach Akori has made personnel adjustments, No. 17 Matri replaced No. 9 Jada, No. 20 Yuan Zhang replaced No. 11 Moscaldelli, sorry, please forgive me, it should be No. 20 Zhang Yuan replaced No. 11 Moscaldeli, Matri will not say much, No. 20 Zhang Yuan was transferred to the youth team just now, he is not yet 17 years old, he only came to the club last summer, scored 4 goals and 5 assists in the youth league, and has a shining nickname "Lightning Boy"! Let's cheer them on and look forward to a great performance from them!"

The audience stood up and applauded the two newcomers who had been replaced and the two old people who had left the game, and Docilia found a sign from the fans next to her, and painted a very kawaii football player on it with a pen, writing the words "lightning boy" in Italian, holding it high and jumping up and down to cheer for Zhang Yuan. Mai Xuewen was slandered in his heart, grandma's, that stinky boy won't kick twice, his girlfriend is crazy!

The on-site commentator seems to have learned a little about Chinese culture, although he pronounced Zhang Yuan as Yuan Zhang for the first time, but he corrected it in time, at least it was pleasant to listen to Zhang Yuan and Mai Xuewen.

Jada and Moscaldelli high-fived Zhang Yuan and Matri back to the bench in frustration, while Zhang Yuan and Matri ran quickly to the field. Zhang Yuan's nervousness was limited in his first substitute appearance, mainly because there were not many spectators at the scene, and the atmosphere caused by Zhang Yuan's sense of oppression was not strong. On the field, Zhang Yuan still plays Moscaldelli's position as an attacking midfielder on the right, similar to a right winger, this position is not suitable for Zhang Yuan, he was originally the kind of frontcourt running.

Triestina played a 352 formation today, this formation focuses on the control of the midfield, and it is clear that he wants to strangle Rimini in the midfield, judging from the previous results, this tactic is very effective, and Rimini has no way to take Triestina. There is a weakness in this formation, although it is claimed that the attack can be attacked, and the retreat can also be retreated, but once the two sides of the midfield line and the back line are not closely connected, it is easy to be counterattacked by the opponent.

In the 75th minute, Zhang Yuan just came on the field for only 5 minutes, Rimini's front attack did not work, Pagano lost the ball, Triestina dominated the attack, and the two full-backs on the midfield line inserted assists, but unfortunately soon their midfielder was stealed by Rimini's Cristiano at the front of the penalty area, Cristiano immediately passed the ball to Pagano, who had retreated to his own half, Pagano observed, this time it became Rimini's chance to steal and counterattack, Richiuti returned to the defense faster, closest to him, and Zhang Yuan was far away from him on the right side, so he chose a long pass, but the ball passed a little big, Zhang Yuan and the opponent's left central defender Giuseppe Abrubzese went to grab the ball at the same time, but his speed was obviously faster than the opposing defender, in the process of running, he estimated the position of the ball and thought about how to do it, just when the home fans sighed that the ball was about to go out of the sideline, Zhang Yuan had caught up with the ball that was about to land, and Abruzzese was less than two meters away from him, everyone thought that if Zhang Yuan unloaded the ball, it was estimated that Abrubersse would definitely collide with Zhang Yuan and knock Zhang Yuan out of the field.

But the next scene made everyone talk about it for a long time after the game, Zhang Yuan didn't unload the ball, just slowed down a little, and then stretched out his right foot to exert a little force, Pagano's passing ball bounced on his instep, and drew an arc, past Abruzese, who was already close to Zhang Yuan, and continued to fly along the right side, and Zhang Yuan immediately accelerated again, and Abruzzense sped past outside the court, Abruzzense could only stare dryly, because he couldn't stop the car, and he didn't brake the car until he rushed out of the field, and then turned back to chase.

Zhang Yuan got the ball smoothly with his speed, and quickly brought it to the penalty area, the opponent's two central defenders Kyriazis and Minani retreated into the penalty area, and Matri, who had not returned to Rimini's defense, also ran into the opponent's penalty area, to be honest, if it was according to the original Zhang Yuan's style of play, he would rush into the penalty area, but now his first consideration is to pass the ball, such a good opportunity for the second sophomore, if he loses it, it is estimated that Akori will have to kill him.

He rushed towards Kyriazis with the ball, but his eyes glanced at the direction of Matri's run, Matri is not the kind of high school striker, but the running position is still very flexible, he did not go to the center of the penalty area, but ran around Minani to the back post, at this time Triestina goalkeeper Rossi stood in the center of the goal but the center of gravity was obviously biased to the right, Kyriazis stood in the position and lowered his center of gravity to concentrate on preparing to prevent Zhang Yuan from passing people, but Zhang Yuan passed the ball at this time, the high ball drew an arc and flew past Kyriazis, Minani in the center of the penalty area jumped up to top the ball but unfortunately did not reach it, the ball crossed his headMatri just ran to the back point and hit the ball hard with his forehead, and the ball went into Triestina's goal, and Rossi couldn't touch the ball.

"goaL, it was Alessandro Matri who scored for us, a beautiful header, a clean header, and it was No. 20 Zhang Yuan who passed the ball for him. Oh, Zhang Yuan! The young man did a good job! Zhang Yuan was very imaginative and very beautiful, he didn't choose to continue to break through at the edge of the penalty area, but passed an overhead ball, past Kyriazis and Minani, and landed just right! Matri hit the hammer on the head! Cheers for the two boys! We finally equalized, come on, boys!" Rimini's on-site commentator did not praise Matri fiercely, but praised Zhang Yuan!

When Zhang Yuan passed by, Docilia and Mai Xuewen had already stood up involuntarily, and when Zhang Yuan passed Abruzzise, Docilia clapped her palms, "Well done!" When Zhang Yuan passed the ball over the top, and Matri made the final decision, Docilia hugged Mai Xuewen next to her excitedly, jumping and jumping, it seemed that she was a real fan, a real Rimini fan. Christiana also stood up and applauded, and by the way, she also held up the sign next to Docilia and waved it left and right, "Lightning boy, that's amazing!"

After Matri scored, he ran to the corner kick area, beckoned to Zhang Yuan while running, signaling to celebrate together, Zhang Yuan ran to the corner kick area, and was hugged by Matri as soon as he jumped, Matri kissed his face and said, "Well done buddy!"

One after another, teammates came over and hugged Matri one by one, it was really not easy, 75 minutes, finally equalized!

Richiuti touched Zhang Yuan's head and said, "Well done, boy!"

Zhang Yuan smiled, he was naturally excited in his heart, he didn't expect that he was a substitute for the first time, and actually gave an assist, in fact, his air pass was not so good, but this time it seemed to be very feeling, and he actually passed a good shot! There is still time, we must work hard to help the team win this game.

In the process of returning to his own half, he finally caught a glimpse of Mai Xuewen and Docilia, a little girl next to him was also holding a sign "Lightning Kid", he was very happy, and gave them a thumbs up, the stadium was not big, Zhang Yuan's action was seen by Docilia and they cheered warmly, and the fans next to him thought that Zhang Yuan was giving them a thumbs up, and cheered!

Akori was on the sidelines from the moment he crossed the pitch, and it wasn't until Matri scored a goal that he jumped up and hugged Martini next to him.

"That kid really can!" Akori said excitedly, needless to say, that kid must be referring to Zhang Yuan, after all, at least 50% of the credit for the goal scored by Matri should be credited to Zhang Yuan.

"Haha, yes, that's imaginative and has a very good ball sense! this kid is a genius!" Martini replied happily.

"Well, there's still time to play, and we still have hope of winning this game!" Akori's mind was already thinking about winning!

After equalizing the game, Akori was happy, the home fans were happy, the players were naturally even happier, and everyone finally returned to the same starting line, not without opportunities, and everyone's morale was high.

After the game restarted, Rimini really took advantage of this opportunity to attack Triestina, pressing the opponent a little breathless, Terry Estina's head coach was a little out of breath, and it was dangerous to continue to play, so he immediately made substitution adjustments, changed two midfielders in one breath, replaced a defender, a defensive midfielder, and changed the formation to 442.

Triestina, who made substitution adjustments, disrupted Rimini's rhythm, and for a while the two teams held each other again, Acori was thinking the sidelines, grandma's, if you continue like this, will you be forced to draw by Triestina at home, no, absolutely not, he raised his eyes and looked at the bench, there was no one to change, there were only a few offensive players, and they all played.

He looked at the field again, Zhang Yuan was very active on the side, but after the opponent changed the formation, he obviously strengthened the marking of Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan's dribbling and speed combination is really strong, the opponent's defense is very difficult, but interfere with the head line, let Zhang Yuan not be comfortable to take the ball, can not pass the ball comfortably, try not to let Zhang Yuan go to the penalty area, originally Zhang Yuan played on the side, the ground pass was okay, but his cross was not good, now under the interference of the opponent, it is even worse to pass, and the threat has been reduced a lot.
