The team's record is not good, and the whole club is under pressure. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info but fortunately, there is no media fanning the flames, which may be the only thing to be thankful for. It's not that no one laughed at Chen Lin for throwing hundreds of thousands of pounds into the water, but the C2 League, as the fourth league, is only so attractive, and there were local tabloids in Tuscany before reporting that Prato had changed a Chinese owner, and as soon as Serie A started, everyone was busy praising the stinky feet of Fiorentina, Juventus and Milan.

Fortunately, in the following matches away to Barcelona Novites on September 20 and at home to Bogipos on September 27, the Prato team finally ended the embarrassment of three games without a win, winning 2:1 and 1:0 respectively. In addition to playing a solid backline, the number one contributor to the team's victory was 17-year-old Veron from Argentina in South America.

Although Veron has not yet garnered enough support in the squad due to his age and language to play his role as the playmaker of the midfield, he has another weapon.

In the 57th minute of the away game against Barcelona Novites, Pesoto, who assisted from the back to the front, generally passed past the opponent's defenders, and saw that the Barcelona Novites defenders who couldn't keep the ball pulled down Pesoto from behind, and the referee not far from here saw everything clearly, and immediately awarded a free kick on the left side of the front of the penalty area.

Veron stepped forward to ask for the free-kick. After a short run-up, the ball soared into the air, jumped over the wall of people jumping on the opposite side, and went straight to the top right corner of the goal with a sharp spin. When the Barcelona Novites goalkeeper reacted, he had to pick up the ball in the net.

In the 76th minute, Yang Chen received a long pass from the backfield to form a single knife, he calmly observed the position of the opponent's goalkeeper, and made a feint to shoot to the left before the goalkeeper hit in place, and the actual ankle turned and pushed a lower right corner, but the Barcelona Novites goalkeeper, who had been mediocre before, was like a god after being deceived by the center of gravity, he forcibly stretched out a kick and poked the ball out with his toes. It's a pity that he is destined not to escape, Doni, who arrived behind Yang Chen, met the ball with a supplementary shot, and Prato led 2:0.

Barcelona Novites only managed to save face at home with a consolation late goal.

The other game against Bogipos was made possible by Veron's set-piece. After Veron took his own free-kick in the last game, head coach Tsoko stepped up the cooperation of free kicks in training, and Veron also became the team's first candidate for set-pieces. The game was also a tight one, with the two sides battling it out until 70 minutes into the second half without seeing a goal. In the 72nd minute, Prato won a corner kick on the left side, which was taken by Veron. Suddenly, a beautiful arc appeared over the Bisenzio Stadium, and in the crowd, a tendon-clad Materazzi soared into the air, a powerful lion shook his head, and the ball passed between the hands of the glazed Bogipos goalkeeper and flew straight to the bottom of the net.

The two-game win put Prato, who had three wins, two draws and one loss, back into the top six of the standings and maintained the possibility of promotion. But the current situation is that Yang Chen still has not scored.

In such an atmosphere, the team ushered in the second round of qualifying for the Coppa Italia, against Parthia, a powerhouse in League C1.

Parthia are unbeaten with five wins and one draw in Group A of this year's League C1 and are top of Group A with 16 points. The local media in Parthia even touted that "this is a team that has already entered the second division with half of its body".

In this regard, the Prato team attaches great importance to it. Because Chen Lin knows that the Prato team has won the runner-up in Group B of the C2 League this season, and he has found so many strong reinforcements, in Chen Lin's opinion, promotion this season should be a sure thing. Therefore, he has ambitions for another important event of the team, the Coppa Italia, and the only way to make the Prato team rise to prominence as soon as possible is to show his face in front of as many high-level teams as possible, and use the influence of these teams to make Prato's name out. Therefore, the prize money announced at the beginning of the season, the prize money for the victory of the Coppa Italia match is particularly generous.

As the so-called wealth touches people's hearts, there must be brave men under the heavy reward. And these young people like the Prato team are a group of pretentious guys, and there is no one who does not expect to be favored by high-level clubs and join the senior league as soon as possible. So the Coppa Italia is also their "ladder to the sky".

So there was almost no need to mobilize, and all the players seemed to be full of fighting spirit. The only concern is the team's ability to score goals, after all, defense alone can never win.

Today, the Prato team still lined up with the strongest squad he could come up with. The Parthian team also seems to have some ideas about the Coppa Italia, and despite the fatigue of two games a week, they also sent the team's main lineup.

However, Parthia clearly had some contempt for the Prato team, and launched a big attack in the opening game without much temptation, as if to solve the Prato team in the first half. In fact, in the dressing room before, Parthia's coach said this: "You are a team that has already entered the second division with half of your body, and Prato is just a mid-table team in the second league, if you can't solve them at half-time, then what qualifications do you have to talk about the game against the Serie B and Serie A teams, how can you prove your value in front of those giants?" ”

Having said that, the Parthian head coach was really just trying to boost the morale of the team, and the team fought hard for 90 minutes in the last round of the league to barely beat the opponent in injury time, and the physical exertion of the whole team was very serious, and it was not a two-day rest before the Coppa Italia was ushered in. It's just that what he didn't expect was that his words also had the effect of "arrogant soldiers".

As the saying goes, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated!

Out of caution, Prato played a defensive, counter-attacking game. Relying on the backline, which is good at personal strength, more and more tacit cooperation, and more and more solid defense, is the most suitable tactic for Prato, and it also puts its advantages to the maximum. And this also makes a person, that is Yang Chen, fast and excellent running, he is the most suitable sharp spearhead for this tactic, just like a cone out of the bag, the edge is full, and this game has become one of the most memorable games left in Yang Chen's mind.

To be fair, the strength of the Parthian team is still outstanding, they are skillful in passing, tacit cooperation, and several core players are very good, worthy of being the top team in the C1 League. Judging from the information obtained by Chen Lin on the computer in advance, the CA value of several Parthian players even reached more than 110, close to the average of Serie B teams.

However, they encountered the freak of the Prato team, like Toldo and Pesoto, who should have started to take off this season in history, and gradually bloomed their dazzling light, so their ability value is far beyond the level of the second league, and now Toldo's CA value even exceeds 130. And like Veron, Gianni Keda, Doni, and Materazzi, the CA ability value is also around 110, which is definitely not the level of the C2 League.

So when the Parthian team's proud individual ability met the Prato players, the scene appeared as follows: Parthia's right winger stepped on his bicycle and swiped left and right on the ball, and was tackled by a ferocious tackle by Pesotho and the ball was tackled, but the referee signaled to the side that the ball was clean; Parthia finally moved the ball to the left, saw the weakness of right-back Pitini, and played a low cross, the Parthian center jumped high, ready to put on a handsome header position, and Materazzi rose up behind him, forcing him to push the ball out; Seeing that the high-altitude ball could not be hit, Parthia had to hit the ground ball, Parthia, who was also the core of the organization, ran actively in the front court, but as soon as he received the ball, he felt a huge force behind him, and was almost hit by Gianni Keda, he hurriedly supported the ground with both feet, and leaned on the person with his back, but it felt like leaning against a wall, not to mention organizing an attack, it was good to be able to protect the ball, and he could only quickly pass the ball back to the defender.

In this game, the Prato players were very well prepared and could indeed be regarded as a super-level performance. Although the possession of the ball was in Parthia for most of the first half, Parthia could only be said to be scoreless, did not create any good chances, and the only few chances to shoot on target were calmly held in Toldo's arms. In addition, the defensive players of the Prato team such as Materazzi, Pesoto, and Gianni Keda are not particularly clean, so the Parthian team is more and more impatient, and the more angry they play, the more they play, and the back line gradually crosses the half.

The turning point came just before the end of the first half, when a Pathian pass to the right was cut off by Materazzi who suddenly stepped up, and Gianni Keda received the ball and passed it directly to Doni in front, and after Doni took the ball, the Parthian defenders immediately tensed up. In Prato's counter-attacking system, Doni, who can hold the ball, and Veron are the link between the midfield, although Doni is not very fast, but his ball skills are very good, and the dribbling does not look fancy, but it is extremely practical. On the previous occasion he picked up the ball on the right and then shook off one of the opposing defenders, then took the ball into the opposition penalty area with ease under the pressure of two defenders, seized a gap and suddenly volleyed into the far corner, the ball just wide of the far post.

This kind of wonderful footage is not seen in the players of the C2 League, even in the C1 or even Serie B games. Dhoni's all-round is not obvious in the higher leagues, but it is definitely a bug in the lower leagues.

However, this does not mean that Parthian defenders have to give up their defense, although they are just very ordinary players, but they also have the dignity of professional players! Even if you lose, you can't be torn apart by a player in the second league who repeatedly uses his personal skills to tear apart the defense!

Under the attack of the opponent's two people, Doni still moved forward quickly with the ball, and his control of the ball was vividly displayed in the opponent's close defense, and the continuous small steps changed direction to get rid of the opposing defenders.

Neither of them could stop his advance!

"Foul!" The coach of the Parthia team roared loudly off the field, Prato switched from defense to attack very quickly, Parthia was empty at this time, the right back assisted and did not come back, two of the remaining three defenders were attracted by Doni, so even if he fouled, he had to stop him, and he couldn't let him break through vertically, but at this moment, Doni passed!

The ball flew out of the gap between the two defenders and flew sideways to the feet of Veron, who had stepped forward in the middle at some point, and he received a pass from Doni at the top of the arc of the penalty area, and there was no one to defend him!

"It's time to shoot!" Chen Lin stood up, although Veron was famous for passing, he knew that Belon's famous stunt included the skill of long-range shooting.

But Veron didn't choose to shoot, but sent a ball over the top and passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area!

Due to the fact that Dhoni on the right side just now attracted most of the opposing players, the left side of the Parthian team seemed so empty!

At this time, a graceful figure wearing No. 21 appeared at the landing point of the ball in time, and it was Yang Chen, who had been silent before. Yang Chen unloaded the ball in the run, took a step, adjusted the shooting posture, the goalkeeper had already pounced on the same at this time, and then saw Yang Chen suddenly poke his toes, past the goalkeeper, and shot directly at a place where the angle was not large, the ball flew into the goal near the post, the goalkeeper of the Parthian team only had time to look back, and the ball had already rushed into the goal without suspense!

Just as Chen Lin raised his hands and jumped up, a huge cheer erupted behind him! Especially the stands behind Chen Lin, where there are mostly some people with black eyes and yellow skin. These days, after the unremitting publicity of Lu Heng and others, the fans of Prato among the Chinese have exceeded 100. At this time, Lu Heng's group of people collectively shouted loudly, although they only had more than a hundred people in total, they burst out with a huge volume, instantly overpowering the cheers from the other stands!

Yang Chen ran to Belon, and then hugged him violently, and then Doni also ran over, and the three of them hugged each other tightly!

Donila emptied the opponent's defense, Belon transferred in time, and Yang Chen's blow was fatal! The excellent combination between the three made for this wonderful goal!

After the three of them hugged each other, the rest of the team also hugged each other, and although they were not directly involved in the goal, they also contributed to the team! The first to initiate this goal was Materazzi, who intercepted the opponent's attack in the middle of the game, Gianni Keda passed the ball to Doni in time, and Prato's other striker, Bassalino, attracted the opponent's last defender in the penalty area, allowing Yang Chen to go up and block the first time without the Parthian defender when he shot.

Although there is still a lack of tacit understanding between them, they are one at this moment!

After the celebration, Yang Chen specially ran to the stands next to the coach's seat of the home team and bowed to Chen Lin, last year he was difficult to play the main force in the Beijing youth team, but Chen Lin took him to Italy, let him act as the team's offensive core, this northern young man knows clearly in his heart, who has been supporting himself, to settle the rumors in the club, in Yang Chen's heart only has an idea.

Chen Lin raised his hands and applauded him. And the stands suddenly burst into neat applause, cheering for Yang Chen's beautiful passing goal, Yang Chen finally recovered from the excitement and showed a smile on his face.

Nobody cares that he doesn't score in nine games, the fans only see his efforts, the fans here ...... It's really good that for the first time, Yang Chen doesn't regret the choice he made in China.

If the first goal was a human achievement and did not reflect Yang Chen's huge role in Prato's defensive counterattack, then the second goal was completely a performance of Yang Chen's personal ability.

In the second half, the Parthian team calmed down, but they could only continue to press out on the road of attack. However, they have tightened their marking of Doni and Veron, reducing his chances of receiving the ball and preventing them from moving forward in the first place.

However, Peron lives up to the name of the future "White Wizard". After Gianni Keda broke the ball again, Veron ran forward at high speed, and Gianni Keta habitually passed the ball to him according to tactics, but he didn't realize that Veron had two Parthian midfielders around him, and it seemed that even a foul could not make Veron launch a counterattack. Saying that it was too late, Veron seemed to have a long eye behind him, did not stop the ball at all to adjust, and stepped on the incoming ball, and the ball immediately flew up like a cannonball, heading straight for the Parthian team's backfield.

And at the moment when Bel raised his feet, he saw Yang Chen, who was wearing a blue No. 21 jersey, rushing out of the Parthian back line like a cheetah, and went straight to the point where the ball landed. However, the ball started in a hurry, and the pass was a bit big, after all, the real age of Veron, who looked old, was only 18 years old, and the ball landed about one-third away from the Parthian goalkeeper and about two-thirds away from Yang Chen, and the two central defenders of the Parthian team reacted very quickly, almost at the same time as Yang Chen turned to chase the ball.

But after only a few seconds, Yang Chen was already a few positions ahead of them, and the Parthian defenders couldn't pull Yang Chen down even if they wanted to pull them down at this time. At this time, the Parthian goalkeeper finally gave up the goal. Yang Chen rushed to the landing point of the ball first, but the Parthian goalkeeper also arrived at the moment he touched the ball, and the two sides were close at hand. If there is a slow-motion replay at this time, it can be seen that in this electric light, Yang Chen even calmly glanced at the Parthian goalkeeper with his peripheral vision, and then lightly poked the ball out from under his ribs. The ball flew into the bottom of the net, an indisputable goal.

The next moment, Yang Chen knelt on his knees and raised his hands high, as if he wanted to embrace the sky. Cheers like mountains and seas sounded all around, and at this moment, Chen Lin's long-hanging heart finally let go, and he was sure that Yang Chen, the life trajectory in front of him that had been changed by himself, must have a future as broad as the sky.
