Chapter 62: Ups and downs

Zhang Yuan didn't like this kind of long pass tactic very much, because it was very unsuitable for him, although he scored a goal, he actually played very uncomfortable. He prefers ground control, which is dictated by his technical characteristics. In the two legs against Genoa, the midfielders did not support him enough, did not take the ball much, and the natural threat dropped a lot.

Now that De Rosa has come to defend him, he feels his chance to get his team-mates to try the ground ball for him, and he can drop back a little deeper.

Akori's tactical arrangement is to let Zhang Yuan wander near Matri, and they are the two of them in the frontcourt, and if they don't get closer, they can't find a chance.

After Zhang Yuan made up his mind, he began to retreat, and the retreat was very deep, and when he reached the center circle, Akori did not stop him, sometimes the players need freedom on the field, and too strict tactical discipline may not be a blessing in the game.

In the 71st minute, Cristiano and Digan cut off Adelton's ball, Adelton was lying on the ground, but the referee did not blow the whistle, Cristiano controlled the ball and immediately wanted to make a long pass to Matri, but saw that Zhang Yuan in the middle circle was running towards Rimini's half and made gestures, so he chose to pass the ball straight to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan slowed down his speed after receiving the ball with his back, it is estimated that Coppola, who was marking him, was also slowing down, Zhang Yuan suddenly came to a Cruyff-style turn, Coppola was shaken by Zhang Yuan to get rid of it, Zhang Yuan ran wildly with the ball, and went directly to the opponent's half, once the speed was up, Zhang Yuan was too fast, Genoa's midfielder chased with all his strength, but he couldn't catch up, in the face of De Rosa who came up to rob him, Zhang Yuan was another bypass overtaking, De Rosa had nothing to do about it, and he couldn't even commit a foul. At the same time, Matri also walked into the opposition box, and Cristo gave up marking Matri, who had to rely on Stellini, another Genoa centre-back, to make up for it.

However, as soon as he moved to Zhang Yuan's side, Zhang Yuan passed the ball and chose a straight stopper, Matri bypassed Crishitto and got the ball, the linesman didn't say anything, not offside, Matri is not fast but at least faster than Stellini, Stellini's defense is not in place, Matri has received the ball and has been in the penalty area, Rubinho attacked, Matri picked up the shot, and easily broke the goal!

Rimini led Genoa 2:0 in the away game, Matri scored this goal and took off his jersey, revealing his strong muscles, picked up the corner of the jersey and threw it in the air, and ran through the billboard all the way to the area where Rimini fans gathered to celebrate, Zhang Yuan followed behind him, wanting to pull his arm to celebrate, but he didn't pull it, Zhang Yuan rushed up again, grabbed Matri's shoulder, and celebrated wildly there.

The Rimini players on the pitch went crazy, and everyone ran frantically to the stands where Rimini fans gathered, wanting to celebrate with Matri and Zhang Yuan.

The players on the bench went crazy and rushed out of the bench to laugh and hug each other on the sidelines.

Akori was also crazy, but he just hugged assistant coach Martini tightly, and his eyes were a little wet.

Fans in the stands went crazy and scrambled to the front row to shake hands with the players below the fence, which was so crowded that the security staff below had to persuade the celebratory players to return to the stadium.

"Damn!" this is Gasperini's swearing, the voice is so loud that the assistant coach and others nearby don't know that he is cursing, maybe he is scolding the players on the field, why can't he keep an eye on Rimini's two strikers, maybe he is scolding Zhang Yuan, why you give you a point of color and you open a dye shop, maybe scolding Matri, why an iron bench substitute scored this starter!

Genoa's players are stunned, especially Coppola, his unsuccessful defense will bring serious consequences to the team, knowing that Zhang Yuan is very threatening, but he just can't prevent it. It's normal for him to be unable to prevent it, there is no need to regret it, you must know that Zhang Yuan has made Zanetti suffer, his defensive ability is far less strong than Zanetti, plus Zhang Yuan is the one who controls the ball, and he has an innate advantage in changing directions, so it is normal for him to be too nervous to be over.

This is Zhang Yuan, is his performance good? In fact, it's not good, the midfielder doesn't support him enough, the number of touches is less, tactically he has to follow Mattrie's side today, ready to meet the second point at any time, Mattley is very good, but often the second point has the other party and Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan's confrontation ability is still insufficient, there are not many opportunities to grab the ball, there are fewer breakthroughs, and the ability to create opportunities has also declined, not counting goals and assists, his scoring in the game can only be decent, but he has a talent, commonly known as the talent of a superstar, and occasionally he can kick a good ball with a flash of inspiration, which is why everyone calls him a genius。

Before Matri scored, Rimini was pushed to the edge of the cliff, and the one-goal advantage in the first half had been wiped out over time. But when he scored the goal, the situation turned and Genoa was pushed to the edge of the cliff, and they had to score another goal in the remaining twenty minutes, otherwise it would be Rimini who were upgraded.

At the urging of the referee, the Rimini players finally ended their celebrations, Matri naturally got a yellow card for taking off his jersey and returned to his half, the Genoa players kicked off, the current situation is very unfavorable to Genoa, but the Genoa players stayed for a while, did not continue to be in a daze, the daze did not play any role, only the offense can save the situation, they drove the ball out and actively advanced to the Rimini half, and the three lines were pressed up as a whole, no longer hesitate.

Speaking of which, Gasperini was much more decisive than Akori, and the situation was not in favor of his side, so he immediately changed his strategy and began to attack decisively. Acori was still hesitating until the second half, whether the hesitation was justified, it made sense, but he had to deploy in a positive direction, he didn't, he just pinned his hopes on the single fight of the two forwards, fortunately Zhang Yuan took the initiative to change, which caused a goal to overtake, if it wasn't for Zhang Yuan's flash, then when did Akori plan to last?

After Gasperini's adjustments, the Genoa defenders resolutely executed the offside tactics, and it was not good for me to miss the situation.

Genoa, who is on the top of the overall pressure, has a much smoother attack, and Acori has not made new adjustments, so Genoa used this gap to violently attack Rimini's defense, and the days of the defense line are very sad, Di Vaio and Figueroa's header ability is comparative, Di Vaio can also be a passer, Genoa's two wings of creativity and penetration in the middle are very strong in the entire Serie B, Rimini's defensive system is very tight.

Akori was very anxious on the sidelines, but this time he did not hesitate, he replaced Matri who scored the goal, replaced Baruso, replaced Moscalderly, replaced Cassion, the formation became 451, the top is Zhang Yuan, two Baruso and Pagano with a certain organizational ability play in the middle of the midfield, Cristiano single back, Cassione on the field is to increase the defensive strength on the right side, Cassione's offensive ability is not good, the attack on the right side is basically abolished by Akori, now only defend, on the middle he wants to rely on Baruso and Pagano to increase ball control, relieve the pressure on the Genoa midfielder on the defensive lineZhang Yuan is now basically moving around the center circle, ready to receive the ball at any time.

In the 80th minute, Genoa still couldn't break down Rimini's goal, and then Gasperini made another adjustment, moving defender Cristo forward, where to move to Rimini's box, and at this point Genoa had firmly pinned Rimini near the box. Gasperini's move is completely a desperate style of play, and if he doesn't fight for ten minutes, he won't have a chance to fight, and Crishitto has a height and a good header, so he can be used as a post-center.

In the 82nd minute, Genoa midfielder Milaneto passed the ball to Leon on the right side, Leon did not pass, directly diagonally passed Rimini in the penalty area, Crischito pressed Pecarisi, the header was ferried, and Figueroa jumped to the top at the back point, the ball was blocked by Handanovic, but it was not over, the ball fell at the feet of Di Vaio, Di Vaio did not have time to make adjustments, and directly swept Rimini's goal with his infrequently used left foot, regardless of 3721, Digan shoveled, and the ball touched his leg and refractedHandanovic didn't even get up when he saw the ball go into his own goal.

Genoa pulled a point back, and now it was their turn to celebrate, as if they were demonstrating, Di Vaio also took off his clothes, followed by the Genoa players and ran to the stands of the Genoa diehard fans to celebrate, and the Genoa fans also fell into a frenzy of celebration.

Gasperini wiped the sweat on his head, although it was close to July, but Genoa's weather today is not hot, it is very suitable for playing football, but because of nervousness, Gasperini's forehead is already covered with fine beads of sweat, no way, he is already gambling, the stakes are big, fortunately, now the balance of victory is tilted towards him.

When Akori saw this goal, he threw the mineral water bottle in his hand to the ground, he was also very nervous, he chose to drink water, and the mineral water bottle became his tool for venting.

It's like a suspense blockbuster, the whole story is reversed, and now it's Rimini's turn to stand on the edge of the cliff, but the football world is like this, no one dares to guarantee winning the game before the game is over, and today it's just like that.

Zhang Yuan sighed in his heart, there is no way, not every team can do such a thing, but today is obviously Genoa's lucky day, they adopted a fighting style of play, and they actually scored a goal in just a few minutes.
