Twenty-fifth Friendly Match

"Haha, Brother Mai, I think you're interesting to people, right?" Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

"Isn't it possible?!" Mai Xuewen actually admitted generously.

"Cut, I don't see a show, where is it so easy to fall in a foreign relationship!" Zhang Yuan said deliberately nonsense.

"Zhang Yuan, you see how good Docilia is and her skin is good."

"Okay, this is the legendary lover's eyes! Her fist and foot skills are also very good, you have to prepare a few washboards when you marry home!" Zhang Yuan walked in the direction of home without looking back.

"Damn, haven't you heard of love at first sight, I think I'm in love!" Mai Xuewen caught up with Zhang Yuan and said.

"Damn, I can't see how old you are, it's still a sassy year!"

"Am I that old, I'm only 28 this year!"

"First of all, I emphasize that the first you are unrequited love, people have rejected your invitation, you didn't hear it, the second is that there is no good result in a long-distance relationship, and any habits are different, can you accept it?" Zhang Yuan is like a love expert.

"Hey, you kid know so much, how many times have you been in love?"

"Not once, I watched too much in the TV series, and you will understand!"

"Ha, that's all fart, you believe in TV series, love is like the sun and rain, you are too young to understand!"

"Okay, if you want to chase it, I wish you success!"

"Of course I'm going, I'll go to that place tomorrow to keep watch, maybe she'll show up!"

"Damn, you're bold enough, go back, aren't you afraid of being robbed again?"

"It's not as dangerous as you say! Robbery is not common!"

"I've never met it since I came to Italy!" Zhang Yuan said depressedly.

"Ho, you think I've met it! I haven't encountered it either, it's the first time today!" Mai Xuewen said.

"I really thought you had encountered it, you were so calm!" Zhang Yuan thought that Mai Xuewen had encountered it.

"You haven't encountered it, don't you calm down, do you want money or death!" replied Mai Xuewen.

The two of them were idle all the way, and when they returned home, they simply treated the leftovers from noon as dinner, and this Christmas Eve was spent like this.

It would be too wasteful to spend the whole holiday doing nothing, Zhang Yuan resumed his usual schedule from the next day, the training base had been temporarily closed, he found a venue outside, practiced alone every day, and taught him Italian and English by Mai Xuewen in the afternoon. Since he was in such a language environment all day long, he was able to learn Italian very quickly, and he was able to cope with the simple daily use.

The coaching staff pointed out that he still needs to improve in terms of running, Zhang Yuan is now looking for some videos to watch in the evening, to see who, he thinks that the top scorers Inzaghi and Trezeguet have the best running position, so he collected the video of these two people to watch, and it is very rewarding.

On January 8, 2007, all the members of the first team and youth team returned to the club and began to prepare for training.

Mai Xuewen naturally moved back to his rental house from Zhang Yuan's living room, and the three roommates also returned, and they also brought Zhang Yuan late Christmas gifts, and Digan brought back a jersey with Kaka's signature, which made Zhang Yuan very happy.

The next day, the training of the whole team began, Selicini first gathered everyone and said that they would play with the first team tomorrow, and the others did not react to it, anyway, every time the training period, the first team will find a feeling in their youth team, Zhang Yuan is very excited, and he can actually play with the first team, very good, although the first team and they are in a training base, there is a meeting, but there is no trick!

When I returned home in the evening, I met Handanovic in the living room, and Handanovic said with a smile: "Lightning boy, you're going to fight me tomorrow, let me see your strength!"

"Okay, I'll kick through your door then!" Zhang Yuan said defiantly with half of his arm exposed.

"Haha, you won't be able to do it then, or let's make a bet!" Handanovic said nonchalantly, Rimini's youth team is very poor, as we all know!

"Okay, what are you betting on?" Zhang Yuan did not show weakness.

"Well, let me think, yes, if you score, I'll make breakfast for the week, okay?"

"This bet is really boring!" Zhang Yuan sighed.

"And what are you betting on?" Handanovic asked.

"How about gambling for a month?" Zhang Yuan said.

"Okay, it's okay to bet for a month!" Handanovic agreed, not expecting that Zhang Yuan would not suffer a loss anyway, and Zhang Yuan would be contracted to make breakfast.

In the afternoon of the second day, the internal friendly between the first team and the senior team began, and Leonardo Akori sent all the main players on the field this time, because Rimini will play away to Areso on January 16, which is the first game of Rimini's journey after the winter break, and he wants to win it, Rimini is in good form before the end of the winter break, and there should be no problem if he can continue to win Areso in such a good form.

The youth team is indeed relatively poor, but Selicini has always used Zhang Yuan as the offensive core recently, and the offensive system and defensive system have been greatly improved at the same time, plus after all, it is an internal game, and the players on both sides play more carefully, in case they hurt themselves, it is not very good, so the two sides can be regarded as having contacts, but generally speaking, the first team has the advantage of possession.

Less than 10 minutes into the game, the first team scored, scored by Argentine left wing-back Richiutti, who received a return ball from Brazilian striker Jeda at the edge of the penalty area and fired a long-range shot past the youth team, 1-0.

The players of the youth team are used to it anyway, and it is not a shame to be scored, and there is no fluctuation in mentality. Zhang Yuan doesn't think so, no matter what game he wants to win, struggle, lose not regret, this is his style, after Richiuti scored, his running was more active, retreat deeper, the players of the first team know that the youth team's child Zhang Yuan is nicknamed "Lightning Kid", really play the game only to find that this kid is really like lightning, strong explosiveness at the feet, good ball control, it is really difficult for a person to prevent him.

Off the field, Acorey pointed at Zhang Yuan and asked Selicini: "That kid is Zhang Yuan, lightning boy?"

Selicini looked at Zhang Yuan, who was constantly breaking through, passing, and attacking in tandem in the front court, and said proudly: "Yes, our lightning boy, a real genius!"

"Well, it's kind of interesting! How about letting him report to the first team after this game?" Akori felt that Zhang Yuan's level was obviously much higher than that of the youth team, and it was too wasteful to play the youth team.

"What? to the first team? He's only 16 years old, not yet 17, is it okay to go to the first team so early?" Selicini was stunned.

"What's so bad about playing early, there's an advantage to playing early!" said Akuri.

"I'm counting on him to help us make the playoffs!" Selicini muttered.

"Alright, alright, what's the point of the playoffs! I still want to upgrade! Is it realistic?" said Akori, Rimini's club upgrade is almost like a dream!

"Don't just see his strengths, there are also a lot of disadvantages!" Selicini thinks it's good that Zhang Yuan is going to go to the first team, but he wants to tell Arcory about Zhang Yuan's overall situation.

"Let's hear it!" "Akuri also wanted to know more about Zhang Yuan, he had only heard about it before, and he didn't have an in-depth understanding, and today he saw that Zhang Yuan's performance far exceeded that of his peers, and he temporarily wanted to transfer Zhang Yuan to the first team.

"First of all, in terms of physical aspect, he is not good at the current confrontation ability, his body is a little thin, and secondly, in terms of physical condition, he used to be a student, an amateur player, he has not undergone professional training, and he can't keep up with the high-intensity game physically, and he has been playing as a striker, but there is still a lot to improve in terms of running, and as a striker, his header can be said to be quite bad. But this kid is working hard, and he has improved a lot in these areas over the past few months. Selicini analyzed all Zhang Yuan's shortcomings.

"Well, these can be improved slowly, I think his advantages are very much what I need, I think that sometimes if you can't open the situation, you can let Zhang Yuan go up and rush, he is fast and dribbles well!"

In the interval between the two chatting, the cheers of the young players sounded on the field, Zhang Yuan scored a goal, this ball was a direct pass from his teammates, the anti-offside position was successful, and he went to the meeting alone, Handanovic's attack was shaken by Zhang Yuan and pushed into the net.

Handanovic hatefully picked up the ball from the net and kicked it to the midfield, and said to Zhang Yuan hatefully: "Boy, there is you!"

Zhang Yuan said with a smile as he ran back: "Breakfast for a month!"

Digan and Matri, who did not play off the field, also applauded Zhang Yuan, and the gloating Chao Handanovic winked his eyebrows.

The score was levelised, but it was short-lived, and just five minutes later, the first team scored again, and Jeda received a pass from his striker Moscaldelli and headed into the far corner near the six-yard box, which the youth goalkeeper couldn't reach.

Towards the end of the first half, Pagano of the first team scored again, a long-range shot from outside the box, with great power, hanging in the top right corner of the goal, and the goalkeeper could not do anything about it.

In this way, the two sides ended the first half with a two-goal difference, and in the second half, Acorey replaced Digan and Matri on the field, and Selicini's side also made some adjustments, and Zhang Yuan remained on the field.

The game restarted, the first team obviously strengthened the defense of Zhang Yuan, so that he was not so comfortable to take the ball, this trick really played a certain role, Zhang Yuan fell to the ground frequently, no way, as soon as he got the ball, the opponent made a bad move, back against you, one hand pushed you forward, Zhang Yuan always pulled the jersey when he took the ball.

In fact, this was all deliberately arranged by Akori, he wanted to see how Zhang Yuan would deal with such a situation when he was not physically dominant. On the field, Zhang Yuan was also thinking about what to do, he was always entangled like this, and the youth team's offense couldn't play at all.

He thought for a while and decided that he could only increase his running, his position became more erratic, and he took the initiative to catch the ball instead of running like he did at the beginning and waiting for the ball to pass, but Zhang Yuan did this, and Domenic Cristiano, who was staring at him, also followed, but it was impossible to stay close to Zhang Yuan all the time, so that Zhang Yuan got possession of the ball several times, and he could always pass the ball before Cristiano was close.

The first team's front-court attack was unsuccessful, and once again Zhang Yuan took the initiative to receive the ball on the left side, Cristiano followed closely, but this time Zhang Yuan did not pass the ball, but carried Cristiano on his back a Marseille slalom to pull the ball away from where Cristiano could touch and turned around, and then stabbed the ball in reverse, the ball passed by Cristiano quickly, Zhang Yuan also accelerated and rushed past him, Cristiano did not react at all, two feints in a row were too fast, he did not have time to react, and wanted to turn around and chase, but the center of gravity was not adjusted and fell directly to the ground。

Zhang Yuan caught up with the ball, rushing wildly, there were only two central defenders of the first team in front of Digan and Porkia, two fullbacks Regonesi and Vitiero all went up to assist and were desperately rushing back, Digan grabbed it, Zhang Yuan pretended to dribble horizontally, Digan thought he wanted to shoot in the middle, and wanted to seize the lower corner to seal Zhang Yuan's horizontal route, but Zhang Yuan smashed the ball, and continued to go directly to the bottom line from the right side of Digan, and cut into the small penalty area, Porkia was experienced, saw Digan being passed, Zhang Yuan cut inside the bottom line, he did not follow up to rob, and stood in Handanovic, who had come out to seal the near corner, two meters away, one to prevent Zhang Yuan from shooting into the far corner, the other striker of the youth team is almost in the penalty area, so he can do his best to seal Zhang Yuan's cross line.

Zhang Yuan didn't pass the ball, but shot directly, seeing that the angle was blocked, Zhang Yuan decided to shoot the ball on the ground to the near corner, the ball speed was fast, the distance was a little close, Handanovic was a little hesitant in this ball, he felt that Zhang Yuan's pass was a little more likely, and if he did pass the ball, the hope of scoring a goal was greater, so what he thought in his heart was that Zhang Yuan passed the ball, he had to react immediately and must save to the left side of the goal, but this hesitation, the squatting was slow, the ball rolled from his small door into the gate, Handanovic slammed the ground hard, this guy was obviously blocked at this angle and shotWhat a shame to be in him again!

He was not the only one who was depressed on the field, several big brothers of the first team were played by Zhang Yuan, Cristiano said secretly: "This little guy really deserves to be a "lightning boy", the action just now was too fast!" Degan thought of watching Zhang Yuan play football before, but he didn't expect this kid to be really difficult to deal with, and the speed of change of direction was very fast! Regonethi and Vitielo, who were chasing back, could only shake their heads, they attacked too high, and the chase was all for show, in fact, Zhang Yuan was fast with the ball, and they couldn't catch up. Mattrie said secretly in front of him: "I have to score a goal no matter what, don't let this kid compare!"

Akori applauded off the court, and Selicini said to him proudly, "How's it going?, the Flash Kid is not bad, right?"

"What a genius! The ability to read the game is very strong, playing a striker is not as good as playing an attacking midfielder, the role is greater, and it is better for the whole team!"

"But he's basically terrible defensively!" Selicchini said, Rimini is not a strong team, destined to put defense first, Zhang Yuan plays an attacking midfielder, then the strength of the midfield defense is one point less, which is not good for the team's overall defense, if it is a striker, the impact is much smaller, and it is a pity not to play a striker at such a fast speed.
