Chapter Twenty-Seven: Super Substitutes
On the way, Mai Xuewen made a call to Docilia on her mobile phone, and Docilia over there readily agreed that she hadn't actually eaten Chinese food yet.
A few men didn't wait long in the restaurant, Docilia arrived, tonight Docilia was wearing a dark tweed coat, slim pencil jeans, high-heeled boots, the whole person looked bumpy, well, it's a big beauty! This is the unanimous opinion of several ****!
After the big beauty sat down, she said: "It's nice to meet you, are you all Rimini players?" ”
After receiving an affirmative reply, Docilia happily said, "What an honor! I'm a native of Rimini and I love Rimini! ”
"Wow, I didn't expect you to be a fan!" Mai Xuewen said in surprise, he hadn't talked about Celia before.
"Now I know!" Docilia said with a grin.
Zhang Yuan: They are obviously happy that Docilia is a fan of Rimini, maybe this beauty has seen them play!
After a pleasant dinner, several big men and a big boy sent Docilia out of the restaurant, and Docilia smiled and said to Zhang Yuan: "Zhang, thank you for inviting me to dinner!" ”
"No thanks, Miss Rosie, I haven't thanked you for saving me and Brother Mai last time!"
"I said it last time, no thanks! But it's a shame that you two big men were subdued like that! Docilia laughed.
Zhang Yuan is very embarrassed, you are strong, you don't mean that the two of us are okay!
"Ahem, ahem, Miss Rosie, where did you learn kung fu?" Zhang Yuan asked curiously.
"It's not Chinese kung fu, it's martial arts, I learned it when I was in Milan! What, you're interested?! Docilia asked rhetorically.
"No, it's just curiosity, it's just hard to imagine that a delicate beauty like you is actually a martial arts master!" Zhang Yuan said.
"Haha, what's the matter, I've been practicing for several years!" Docilia said.
"Okay, let's talk next time, Zhang Yuan, I'll send Docilia back! Good bye! "Mai Xuewen really wants to be alone with Docilia, Zhang Yuan is chirping here, what's going on, the kid is too ignorant.
"Well, goodbye, Miss Rosie, Brother Mai!"
"Goodbye, Mr. Chang, Mr. Mattley, Mr. Handanovic, Mr. Wright! I'll go and watch tomorrow and hopefully you guys win! Docilia waved her hand and left with Mai Xuewen.
Four days after the match with Aresso, on January 20, Rimini welcomed Triestina at home, Triestina, like Rimini, has been mixed in the lower leagues for a long time, and is a little worse than Rimini in terms of strength, they did not play well in the first half of the season, there were a bit of draws, the attack was not strong, but the defense was reasonable.
In this game, Rimini has only one goal for the whole team, and that is to win the opponent, and this is what Akori thinks, and so does the players.
Rimini home Romero. The volume of the inner stadium is very small, and the facilities are also very poor, only able to accommodate 5,000 spectators, but it seems to be enough for a small city like Rimini, except for the first round of the battle with Juventus, it has never been full, and today is no exception, there are not many spectators, sparsely pulled, Docilia and her little sister Christina sat in a thick down jacket in a bunch of fans and was inconspicuous, Mai Xuewen should have sat on the bench, but now Zhang Yuan can basically understand Akori in Italian, so I didn't sit down there but with my girlfriend.
Christina is only 14 years old, and she doesn't like or hate football games, so her sister Docilia pulled her to watch the game, and she came, but she didn't expect the scene to be so deserted.
On the bench, Zhang Yuan and Mattley sat together, his whole body was hidden in a down jacket, Zhang Yuan said to Mattery: "It's really cold today!" ”
Matri rubbed his hands and replied: "What is this, Milan and Turin are colder!" ”
"Oops, it's a pity!" Matri and the rest of the squad got up and sat back down, with starting striker Jada missing a great opportunity. Richiuti swept down the bottom of the net and Jada slid out of the goal, covering his face and not believing that he had missed a great opportunity, as if he didn't want to see Koto's father again.
Akori also shook his head regretfully on the sidelines, grandma's, can't you be on time again?!
Rimini played the 4231 formation today, goalkeeper Handanovic, central defenders Polkia and Digan partner, right wing-back Vitiello, left wing-back Regonesi, two midfielders Cristiano and Cassion, three attacking midfielders, Pagano in the middle, Rikiuti on the left, Moscaldelli on the right, and the single striker is Jada. Acori put on such an aggressive formation for its intention is self-evident, the game has passed more than 20 minutes, the home team Rimini has a certain advantage, but can not turn the advantage into a goal, Triestina did not put the bus in front of the goal, but the defense is very orderly, completely resisting Rimini's offensive.
The game continues to be ongoing, Rimini's players on the field are becoming more and more impatient, and if they don't win at home, they don't know what anger Akori will be angry again, but Triestina's defense is becoming more and more free, Acori frequently beckons his players on the sidelines to go up and up, Cristiano and Casirone are frequently inserted, and the result is that there is a problem because of such frequent insertions, in the 41st minute, Triestina's player Piovacari, who was on loan from Inter Milan, counterattacked and scored a single goal, Away from home, Triestina took the lead.
Akori stomped his feet on the sidelines, the players on the pitch were demoralized, and the remaining minutes were spent in a mess, and everyone walked into the dressing room with a sense of disappointment.
It was rare for Akori not to get angry, and he knew that it was useless to get angry now, but it might make everyone's morale even lower, so the first thing he said made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
"We played well in the first half! I'm not angry, I'm telling the truth. In the first half, we had a clear advantage, but luck wasn't on our side! ”
'In the second half I hope you can keep playing like this, but first of all, stay calm, don't be impatient, there are still 45 minutes and we will have a lot of chances! Secondly, try to make mistakes, I don't want to make mistakes like in the first half! Finally, the defense continues to move forward, Cristiano, Cassione I want the two of you to be a little closer to the back line, and in the attack I want you to be a little closer and keep an eye on the opposing striker! ”
"Okay, that's it, boys, none of you want to lose in front of your hometown fathers, so work hard!"
He clapped his hands to complete the tactical arrangement of the second half, the formation is still the same, and there is no major change in tactics, he originally had a certain advantage in the first half, and was scored by the opponent, mainly from his own mistakes, and he didn't want to criticize the players who made mistakes, and it was not good to affect the mood of the players.
Zhang Yuan and his substitutes went out to warm up after listening to Akori's tactical arrangement, took off their jackets, wore training pants and jerseys to pass the ball and shoot on the field, looking for the feeling of the game.
Docilia's eyes were sharper, and she pointed to Zhang Yuan, who was warming up, and shouted to Christiana: "Look, look, that's Zhang Yuan, Lightning Boy!" ”
Christiana saw in the direction that Docilia pointed that a short-haired Chinese was sprinting with the ball there, and she pouted and said, "He is the Zhang Yuan you said, nothing special!" It doesn't look good! ”
"Chrissy, don't underestimate him, that kid is a fast runner, amazing, in the youth team, he has completed 4 goals, 5 assists, and only 8 games! You see, he has only been in Italy for half a year and he has gone from the youth team to the first team, you say that he is not good, even I, who don't know how to play, think he is good! Mai Xuewen next to him excitedly broke up Zhang Yuan's past, to say who knows Zhang Yuan best, not Mo Luo, nor Zhang Yuan's three roommates, but Mai Xuewen, after all, Mai Xuewen has followed Zhang Yuan since Zhang Yuan came to Italy not long ago, Zhang Yuan trained and studied with him, except that they did not live together, the two were almost inseparable, and over time they became good friends.
Christiana was okay with Mai Xuewen's senses, so she said, "Really? I hope he can be a super sub, but we are behind! ”
"That's right, this kid must be a super substitute on the field, and he will definitely be able to equalize!" Mai Xuewen said affirmatively.
Of course, Zhang Yuan didn't know that they were talking about him, and fifteen minutes passed quickly after halftime, Zhang Yuan and they returned to the bench, and the game started again. Rimini still had the advantage, and Triestina did not adopt a conservative strategy because he led by one goal in the first half, and he still came up to a stalemate with Rimini.
Rimini created some chances, but today Jada and Richiuti didn't seem to have shooting boots, and they just couldn't score.
On the sidelines, Akori said a few words to assistant coach Martini, and Martini turned to the bench to beckon Zhang Yuan, Matri, and Bravo to warm up.
The time quickly reached 65 minutes, and Acori really didn't want to wait, if he continued to wait, Triestina changed his current tactics to shrink the defense, and it would be more difficult for Rimini to break the goal, so he discussed it with Martini and decided to make a substitution. Martini came over to inform Zhang Yuan and Matri to play, Zhang Yuan was secretly happy, there were nearly 30 minutes left, and there was still a lot of time left for himself to perform.
Taking advantage of a sideline opportunity, the fourth official raised the substitution electronic card on the sidelines, No. 20 Zhang Yuan replaced No. 11 Moscaldeli, and No. 17 Matri replaced No. 9 Jeda.
The No. 20 was chosen by Zhang Yuan himself, Zhang Yuan used to play football in school was No. 10, but in the Rimini youth team, the first team No. 10 shirt has already been chosen, so he chose No. 20, and when he came to the first team, he continued to choose the No. 20 shirt.
