CHAPTER XX: Chinese Yang

"The edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold!" The home match against Parthia on 30 September was like pulling a cork off the wheel, sending the wine pouring out of the bottleneck. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On October 4, Prato played against Gusinsha at home, in the 81st minute, Pesoto ran all the way 30 meters with the ball on the left side, and then sent a 45-degree oblique pass, Yang Chen came out of the Gusinsha back line all the way back, fell to the ground and scored a shovel shot, sealing the victory for the team 2:0;

On October 11, Prato played against Fano at home, in the 7th minute of the opening game, Fano's forward midfielder was cut off by Gianni Keda in the Prato backfield, Prato quickly switched from defense to attack, Veron sent a 40-meter overhead pass from the backfield, Yang Chenfeng, who received the ball, generally entered the penalty area, calmly poked with his toes before the goalkeeper and the defender blocked in place, and the ball rolled into the net from under the goalkeeper;

On October 14th, in the first round of the Italian competition, Prato challenged the C1 league strong team Cosenza away, in the case of a stalemate in the whole game, Yang Chen used the active running in the front court to force a mistake by the opponent's defender, and then Yang Chen ran all the way with the ball for 30 meters, pushing the far corner before the goalkeeper saved. Prato also won a valuable away win with his goal;

One of the best matches came on October 18 in the C-2 match against Gubbio in Prato. In the third minute, Prato took the lead. Prato kicked off first, and after a few simple kick-downs in midfield, Veron suddenly delivered a straight pass without warning. However, the ball was like a scalpel that easily cut through the defense of the Gubbio team, and Yang Chen, who ran in place, shot angrily at the ball, and the ball hit the lower edge of the goal crossbar of the Gubbio team like a cannonball, and then bounced into the net;

The Gubbio team, which was behind by one goal, immediately attacked in a big way, after five wins, one draw and two losses, with 16 points, only two points behind the Prato team, and obviously unwilling to accept defeat at home. However, the Prato team played a solid defensive counter-attacking tactic.

In the 37th minute of the first half, the Gubbio team took a high ball from the left side, was jumped high by Materazzi, pushed out of the penalty area, and was picked up by Gianni Keda, who immediately distributed it to Doni on the right side, and Doni dribbled past a Gubio central midfielder who pounced, and then sent a straight pass close to the ground. The ball passed through the Gubbio backline, Yang Chen once again staged a good show, in the face of the goalkeeper's ferocious attack, that handsome face was terrifyingly calm, there was no trace of fluctuation at all, not even the corner of his eyes twitched, until the ball rolled into the bottom of the net, he jumped up excitedly, and his face full of coldness bloomed with a sunny smile like the rejuvenation of the earth.

Gubbio, who had completely fallen into passivity, seemed to wake up like a dream at this time, and they began to stop fighting with Prato to fight hard, but instead played their familiar hand-to-hand pressing, all kinds of small movements, physical contact emerge in an endless stream, the survival methods of the small teams in the lower leagues are vividly embodied, and before the end of the first half, a realistic acting skill won a penalty for the Gubbio team in the penalty area.

Gubbio, who made it 2-1, rekindled their hopes and launched a more ferocious press in the second half, even for the home team, the referee took care of them, and they received six yellow cards in the opening 20 minutes, which shows how fierce the scramble was. Prato midfielders such as Veron and Doni no longer have it as easy to pass and dribble as in the first half, and Yang Chen has been forced to retreat to the midfield to defend and respond.

Seeing that the midfielder had become a meat grinder, Toldo, who once again picked up the ball from the air, did not choose to throw the ball to the wingback, but drove directly to the front with a big kick. However, the Gubbio team absorbed the lessons of the first half and did not pour out of the nest, but paid attention to keeping the distance between the three lines, and several of Gubbio's defenders were in their positions at the back of the field.

The Gubbio centre-back easily landed on his feet and tipped the ball out. The back of the Gubbio team was about to step forward to respond, but Yang Chen rushed out from behind him. The back of the Gubio team reacted quickly, immediately grabbed Yang Chen's jersey, and prepared to use foul tactics, at this time there was still more than 40 meters away from the goal, and Gubio's back line was not broken, even if he fouled, he would not be punished too heavily.

Feeling the movement of the back of the Gubbio team behind him, Yang Chen couldn't stop the ball anymore, he calmly glanced at the position of the Gubbio goalkeeper, and found that he was standing a little forward at this time, and suddenly swung his right leg violently, like a whip on the oncoming ball.

"Bang" with a muffled sound, the ball in Petro. A rainbow-like arc was drawn over the Babette Stadium before crashing into the gates of the Gubbio team.

Suddenly, the fans at Gubbio's home stadium seemed to have lost their voices collectively, and many people covered their mouths and couldn't believe the scene in front of them, isn't this the C2 League, but the Serie A League? Such a wonderful goal made the Gubbio fans, who had been interfering with the Prato team before, embarrassed to "boo".

At this time, Yang Chen, who had completed the hat trick, had already rushed to his teammates in ecstasy, and the members of the Prato team were also excitedly pressing him under him and playing a game of arhats.

All the club staff in the Prato coach's bench stood up and applauded Yang Chen, scoring eight goals in five games, such a wonderful performance has long made them forget the skeptical gaze at the beginning.

And the next day, the news of Prato also appeared in the Italian mainstream media for the first time. Tuscany Sputnik is one of the most widely circulated newspapers around Fiorentina, and the local clubs have not been as good as they could have been this season, with Fiorentina even slipping into the relegation zone of Serie A, with only Prato having won seven consecutive matches, including the Coppa Italia.

"World Wave!" Sputnik used such a striking headline in the sports section. The picture is Yang Chen's handsome posture of bending the bow and shooting arrows with the last ball and bombarding the door with heavy artillery, coupled with his cold expression and deep eyes, which immediately conquered the hearts of many Apennine girls. Florence is one of the cradles of European art, and there is a morbid obsession with the pursuit of "beauty" here, which can be said to go deep into the marrow, which is why I always have the best looking players in the Fiorentina team.

The article of "Tuscany Sputnik" details Yang Chen's information, but Yang Chen, who is unknown in China, has become the number one striker of the Chinese national youth team and a famous genius boy in their pen, with his score of eight goals in five games, at the age of 18, it suddenly seems that Tuscany has a great oriental genius.

Of course, this article is indispensable for a small "pen fee" provided by Ms. Ella, assistant to the chairman, and such an unspoken rule is common to both the East and the West. Chen Lin didn't think of this at first, after all, he has only been a few months from a toiling man to a millionaire, and although he is studying hard, he still has a lot of shortcomings. But fortunately, he was able to use the advantage of foresight to grasp the general direction, just like this time, he has always wanted to expand Prato's influence in the Chinese circle, after all, the club's support is inseparable from its supporters.

Prato is a small city with a population of less than 200,000, only half the population of Florence, and if the more than 20,000 Chinese in the city can be turned into supporters of the club, then Prato can be regarded as laying the cornerstone of its take-off.

After Chen Lin determined the general direction, his newly recruited staff spontaneously operated this propaganda. And it was also from this day that the Chinese people in Prato began to hear a name from their friends, colleagues, classmates, bosses, and partners - "China Yang".
