Chapter 184: You Be the Protagonist
Conte found such a memory from Juventus's historical memory, Zhang Yuan's current situation is similar to Ibrahimovic, Zhang Yuan has played in several positions in the frontfield, he has a physical consciousness, his own will also wants to be close to the goal, and Conte also hopes that he can be close to the goal. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But he has better control of the ball than Ibrahimovic, and if he is at the current level, he is actually more suitable for the second position of the striker, and Conte wants Zhang Yuan to play the second striker, but at the same time to let Zhang Yuan increase his range of movement, in short, to be a free agent up and down the front.
Up and down rather than horizontally, the support that Juventus should provide on the side is essential, otherwise it would be quite tiring to keep Zhang Yuan busy alone.
"I want you to be the protagonist! I understand, the protagonist! The ball goes to the front, I want you to take the baton, whether it's a forward or backward pass or a pass, it's your idea, when the ball is at your feet, our midfielders and wings will run around you! I don't ask for much, I don't want you to lose the ball easily!"
Ball possession, ball possession, is what Conte has repeatedly emphasized, Juventus can't play the kind of possession of the ball as Barcelona, which is determined by many factors, but the ball is very important to Juventus, at least in Conte's opinion, the ball will always bring less damage to himself at his feet than at the feet of others.
Zhang Yuan was overjoyed by this arrangement, he originally thought that Conte would change him wholeheartedly and let him integrate into the team's tactics, but he never thought that Conte would be willing to fine-tune the existing tactics according to his characteristic ideas, well, it should be said that it is not a fine-tuning but a big move in offensive tactics.
"You know how hard you should work by now, right?!"
"Reasonable!" Zhang Yuan asserted.
"That's right! You need to be reasonable with the ball, try to avoid entanglement with the opposition's dense defense, your main role is still to attract! Of course I won't reduce your freedom, you have the right to make your own choices, I think it's important for you!" Conte said to Zhang Yuan.
"When the team is off the ball, I need you to be involved defensively, you have to improve your movement without the ball, you did well in the last game and you have to praise you! you caught their holes! You still have to pay attention to this on the pitch in the next game!" Conte went on to explain some of his thoughts and philosophies to Zhang Yuan.
He is very strict with tactical requirements, and Zhang Yuan is not finished, when the team is training, he repeatedly rehearses such a system, once the player's running position is not suitable, he immediately corrects it, even if he always emphasizes a balance when attacking, and the balance between offense and defense must not be easily broken.
Zhang Yuan didn't stay long under Conte, but to be honest, he was impressed by Conte, not that he was cheap, he was often yelled at by Conte, but Conte brought him a lot of useful things, maybe he will meet a lot of coaches in the future, but this is really fine on the tactical aspect, he built it like a machine, but it is not all, and he is also willing to give the players freedom in terms of personal, Pirlo's freedom is much higher than Zhang Yuan.
However, Pirlo is much more experienced than Zhang Yuan, and he knows exactly how to handle the ball.
In essence, Conte's current model is still that Andrea Pirlo is the team's rhythm controller, and Zhang Yuan is only a core of the attack.
But this is enough to make Zhang Yuan satisfied, isn't it just for this moment to leave Real Madrid.
Moving into a new home, Zhang Yuan's life is a lot monotonous, he used to be a good family man, but now he is even more, basically he rarely goes out, goes home on time, accompanies his girlfriend, the two of them will watch movies together, study songs, and occasionally go shopping.
The family did not hire a housekeeper or a servant, only hired a part-time worker, and neither of them wanted outsiders to disturb their lives.
Matri is his best friend, after Zhang Yuan moved to a new home, Matri also changed his residence and moved to Moncalieri, so he often comes to play, his girlfriend Federica Nargi, Miss Rome 2007, well, Italy is also a famous vase, there are many Italian vases, and these vases like to fall in love with players.
They would often come to Zhang Yuan's house as a guest, Anna and Nargi became good friends, and Matri would play games with Zhang Yuan and discuss things within the team.
In Conte's new tactical system, he is hesitant to choose another striker, if Tony is a few years younger, he must let Tony and Zhang Yuan match, this is a desirable combination, but Tony is old.
Vucinić is more suitable for playing as a second striker, of course, the center can also be a central striker, and only Matri can stand in the center forward position, and Quagliarella can't actually compete with Matri for this position.
However, in the home game against Bologna on September 21, Conte unexpectedly chose Vucinic and Zhang Yuan to partner him.
Bologna have been very shaky over the years, they are not unknown in the history of Serie A, they have won the Serie A title 7 times, but this history has been traced back to the 60s, in recent years, with the economic downturn, they have also frequently changed the backstage boss, and the lack of money has caused them to hover between Serie B and Serie A.
Last season, their former owner, Bolcheda, was so shameless that he had no money to pay the player's salary, but he paid money from Bologna's books to buy real estate, gave the player a warning, and was so angry that he was forced to transfer his stake to Massimo Zanetti.
He is not a hero or a particularly rich man, the transfer market in the summer is very lively, but the money spent is not much, and their task in the new season is still relegation, and it is easy to say anything about relegation.
The team's manager, Malesani, is well known in Italy, and his most glorious moment was when he led Parma's youth team to the UEFA Cup, and he has a lot of experience in coaching, but that was also his apnomination, and he has been coaching in small clubs ever since.
He has a knack for attacking strong with weakness, and if you're careless, it's very likely that he will capsize on him, and before this game, he's playing with his mental tactics.
"We're not at the same level as Juventus, but it's hard to say what is going on the pitch!"
"Zhang Yuan?!He's a phenomenal player! I'm very happy to come to Serie A, I think it's good for Serie A! We'll find the key to restrain him!"
However, on the court, he didn't say so confidently, Zhang Yuan gave Bologna a headache, and Malaisani had to let his players frequently use foul tactics, just to prevent Zhang Yuan from holding the ball comfortably.
Cheng also fouled and fouled, in the 20th minute, Zhang Yuan was once again violated by Bologna and fell to the ground, this time he was hit by Mudingayi to the waist, the referee gave Juventus a free kick in front, Pirlo did not wait for the whistle, he directly took a free kick, Vucinic received the ball, directly to Bologna, a volley easily scored, Juventus took a 1:0 lead at home.
This goal made the Bologna players blow up, what the hell is this, but the referee was unmoved, and insisted on determining that the goal was valid, and Koné even received a yellow card for this.
Everything went well, Juventus continued to move along the road, this goal made the Bologna players angry, so they started to move bigger, Juventus side did not show weakness, everyone moved a little big.
In the 21st minute, Chiellini had a pressing move when defending Aquafresca, and the referee gave Bologna a free kick.
Bologna obviously learned the lesson of Siena, Malaisani arranged for Mudingai to mark Zhang Yuan, but he still couldn't keep an eye on it, Zhang Yuan was too slippery, even if there was a foul, Zhang Yuan also created two excellent opportunities for his teammates in the first half, but unfortunately Vucinic missed one, and Krasic put an anti-aircraft gun.
Playing such a role for the first time, Zhang Yuan is not greedy for merit, he spends all his energy on passing, but he himself did not shoot, maybe he is a little selfish, this game will be different again.
The turning point came in the 43rd minute of the first half, when the bloody Vucinic took the initiative and sent the opposing left-back Molleo to the ground when he was in a scramble at the back of Bologna, and the referee gave him a second yellow card and sent him off the field.
Now the situation is turning, Juventus is below in numbers, and Bologna can now come out and wrestle with Juventus.
