Zhang Yuan's performance is very average, perhaps it can't be described as average, according to his own opinion, his performance is very bad. The reason why Akori did not remove him for a long time was that he hoped that Zhang Yuan would have a flash of inspiration and decide the trend of the game, but the miracle did not appear, and the "lightning boy" who played magic in the past was completely limited by Genoa today, to be precise, it was not Genoa who restricted him, but the support that Rimini provided to him was too little, and he touched the ball pitifully few, so he played badly. Striker partner Jada, like him, estimates that it will be difficult to pass the rating after the game, and it is a miracle that the two can pass.

So Zhang Yuan went off the field with a calm face, refused all reporters to interview, and went back to the locker room directly, sitting in his place and covering his face with a jersey, he wanted to be quiet.

The other Rimini players didn't get there either, no one was happy, many people didn't understand why they couldn't get in, why it was always Genoa who had the ball, but it was difficult for their side to get the ball, it was difficult to pass the ball successfully? But now that the game is over, it is useless to think about it, the next situation is difficult, and on June 26, they must win more than two goals at home to Genoa to advance, otherwise they will die on the road to promotion.

No team has won by two goals at home to Genoa this season, and only two teams have scored twice at Genoa's home ground, but they have all lost to Genoa.

While everyone was silent, Akori and Martini entered, and Akori applauded, "Boys! All heads up! ”

Everybody's up, Akori didn't go to the post-game press conference?

"Everybody's frustrated, isn't it?"

"There's a lot of frustration, isn't it?"

"Then I want to apologize to everyone, the responsibility for today's loss is mine, not you, you did your best, I am proud of your tenacious struggle!"

"Well, in the end, the results were not ideal, or worse! But nothing, I think you guys have done your best and there is nothing to regret! ”

"It's not over yet, but it's probably over for us, it's probably over, and our hopes of qualifying are slim! But there's still one last game, no matter what the outcome is, I hope we live standing instead of dying on our knees, so throw away the frustration and disappointment, relax your mood, and in the next game we will attack them with all our might! Whether it's life or death! ”

"It's time for me to go to the press conference!" Akori raised his hand to look at his watch and shrugged, with a smile on his face as if he were relaxed.

After he left, the players fell silent again, and in this silence Rikiotti stepped forward, and with a bitter smile he said: "Ah, guys, there's one last game and we're done with the season!" Mr. Akori is right, the last game can't lose momentum, at least we have to give an explanation to the fans who support us, no matter what, we won't regret it, let's all fight in the last game! ”

After finishing speaking, he went to rinse, his back was very lonely, and the shattering of the Serie A dream made him, an old courtier, really feel a little sad.

In any case, there is no way to be sad, compared to Rimini fans may be more sad than them, after all, players come and go, they may not be loyal fans of the team, and many fans may support Rimini for a lifetime, but they have not expressed disappointment to the players on the field, it can be seen that there are still illusions in their hearts, fantasizing that the team can successfully complete the advantage of 2 goals away from home, but can their fantasy finally become a reality?

After Zhang Yuan's game, he didn't sleep well for two days, he was also fantasizing, fantasizing about his ability to turn the tide, fantasizing that the team could finally be promoted, and fantasizing that in the end he actually had a dream, completed a hat trick by himself, and successfully defeated Genoa 3-0 away. But every day I wake up, and my mood inevitably falls into a depression.

The team was silent in training, and there was nothing Akori could do about it, and the words in the dressing room were just a way for him to comfort his players, the main purpose of which was to hope that the players would cheer up, and that the promotion play-offs were not over yet, and he shared the fantasies about the game.

The second leg kicks off on time, Genoa's stadium is full of spectators, of course the home team is the majority, but Rimini also has a lot of away games, the more difficult times are, the more they need the support of the fans, these fans obviously understand this very well, there are also many Rimini fans outside the stadium, they don't have seats, but at least they can hear the news from inside the stadium.

Today in the locker room Akori did not give a lecture or anything, just arranged tactics, he changed the 442 formation, but changed back to the original 4231 formation, two defensive midfielders removed one, Pagano retreated to play the midfield, Zhang Yuan retreated to play the front midfield, Matri replaced Jada to play a single striker, the other two attacking wingers are Richiuti and Moscaldelli, Akori's calculation is to take the high ball, Matri is okay to head the ball in the forward position, can compete for the header, and the two midfielders will not press too high, Pagano has a certain organizational ability, Zhang Yuan also has a certain organizational ability, the two of them and the wing Rikiuti, Moscalderli to form a small range of cooperation, the main purpose is to play the side cross tactics, the tactics he formulated is limited pressure rather than full line pressure.

Piacenza is a lesson from the past, the second leg of the game because of the first leg draw, Rimini ranked higher than them, they were at a disadvantage, Lakini chose the team to press on the whole line, and was counterattacked by Rimini, completely forced to the edge of the cliff, since Akori still has illusions about the game, then in the tactical arrangement he will naturally not arrange the full line press, will not give Genoa a chance to counterattack.

The battle started, today's Genoa discharged the usual 343 formation, Genoa is equivalent to having a two-goal advantage in hand, Gasperini intends to use the attack formation The main purpose is to score early, completely hit the opponent's confidence, kill the suspense, although the suspense is almost none, but how many goals are two? Rimini has played a couple of big wins this season and should not be taken lightly.

A few minutes after the game began, Gasperini found that Rimini still had reservations in the field attack today, the three lines were not very high, and the midfield and the attack group in front of him were disjointed.

The consequence of this long-pass style of play is that if you don't pay attention, Genoa's midfield and the back line will be disconnected, because Genoa's four midfielders are close to the middle circle, and the main function is to assist in the attack.

Defensively, Rimini's two wide defenders tried to lean into the middle, basically giving up the two wing assists, and even retaining the side defense, just trying to seal the ball route on the side, rather than resolutely blocking it.

Rimini's players are particularly able to fight on the field today, and there is an ancient Chinese saying that mourning soldiers will win, so today's Rimini players belong to mourning soldiers, and they seem to be all over the field.

I don't know what the other players think, Zhang Yuan picked up the empty fantasy when he got on the field, and packed up the regretful sadness, football can make him forget everything, and now he only has football and the belief that he will win.

Football itself has the effect of making you forget your sorrows, making you forget your love, making you forget your work, making you forget everything you want to forget, and at the same time bringing you satisfaction and happiness.

This is the magic of football, Zhang Yuan has always tasted this happiness, so on the court he forgot everything for a while, he just wanted to play, he wanted to play and win games to bring himself happiness.

More than 20 minutes passed, and Gasperini did not make tactical adjustments because he had not yet thought about it, but the Genoa defense could be described as suffering and precarious. Matri seems to have taken a banned drug today, the success rate of the battle is very high, the three attacking midfielders, Zhang Yuan, Richiuti, Moscalderli have a lot of running, flexible positioning, waiting for the opportunity to grab a lot of Matri's ferry balls, got several opportunities, the three central defenders are very tight in defense, but they have not been scored by Rimini for the time being. On the other hand, Genoa's attack, the middle is limited by the opponent's midfield, there are many opportunities to play the ball on the side, but there are not many to go there, the two fullbacks leaning towards the middle have spent their main energy on defense, actively sealing Genoa's side line with Rimini's two midfielders, and Rimini's height in the penalty area has an advantage, Di Vaio's running position is flexible, but so far he has not been able to get a decent scoring opportunity.

Gasperini thought twice and decided to change his tactics, he must strengthen the connection between the midfield and the backline, and he can't let Rimini play like this, Rimini will score sooner or later if it goes on like this, Zhang Yuan and Rikiuti have the ability to make a final decision, and Matri and Moscalderli may suddenly break out, judging from the situation in the first twenty minutes, Rimini's players are in surprisingly good shape, and all they lack is goals.
