Chapter 405: The Face of the Bus
At halftime, Worrall specially called the team doctor to come over and give Zheng Zhi a simple examination, and specifically asked Zheng Zhi if he would continue to play, in private, he actually didn't want Zheng Zhi to continue playing, but Zheng Zhi was eager to fight, he wanted to play with high-level opponents, and Worrall finally met his wish.
"Boss, I want to too." Worrall originally wanted to replace Ballack, but Ballack also had this idea, "We're going to beat them,"
"Let them know that even the UEFA Cup winner can't win with us."
It's all young and vigorous guys, can you not want to beat your opponent? Now they don't feel like they're playing a friendly at all, they're playing a very important game.
In the end, Worrall could only use the knife on the defender, he replaced Nico Kovac with LaMelo, originally he also wanted to replace the young Lucio, but in the end he thought about it and pressed it, the guy in front still wants to win, he can't fire in the backyard, who knows what Lucio will ruin the rear after this kid goes up, although he recognizes Lucio's ability, but he is not enough to trust Lucio.
"Since you're going to win, give it all your skills."
"We're going to play this game as if it were a UEFA Cup final!"
"Winning them means making a difference in Europe this year too!"
……
……
Yibian fought again, Parma also made substitution adjustments, I don't know if it was to protect Ortega or not trust Ortega, in short, Malaisani replaced him. Presumably, he is also worried that Ortega will not be able to play in the game and will continue to cause trouble, right?
"Heh, that guy is gone, it's a pity, I haven't abolished him yet." Barak grinned and saw Ortega sitting on the bench, but he was a little distraught.
"I'm probably afraid I'll be beaten by us, coward." Beinrich also looked at the bench with a sneer.
It's a pity that Ortega is too far away from them to hear what they are saying, and Ortega didn't watch the game, but tilted his head back, covered his coat over his face, and fell asleep directly? Big names are big names, and even sitting on the bench doesn't make people feel at ease. Malaisani didn't care, he kept his focus on the pitch.
Replacing Ortega is Walem, although not as good as Ortega, but Walem's tactical execution is strong, and the team can play more holly.
Kirsten drove the ball and the second half began. The two sides fought for every inch of space in the midfield, and Ortega's departure left Parma's midfield without players who could hold the ball, and soon they were at a disadvantage in the midfield battle, and the whole shape retreated! Bayer Leverkusen could not have missed such an opportunity, with Ballack and Emerson both moving forward, and Zheng Zhi organizing the attack in the back, and Zheng Zhi was given more space than in the first half.
In the 54th minute, Zheng Zhi suddenly sent a long pass near the halfway line, Link gave the ball to Kirsten on the right, Kirsten volleyed into the near corner of the goal, the ball was almost close to the post, but Buffon's performance was even more exciting, and after falling to the ground, he held the ball out with his left palm.
At this time, Buffon was only 21 years old, but he was already Italy's No. 2 goalkeeper. This guy became Italy's No. 2 goalkeeper at the age of 19, a proper Italian talent. But this guy didn't make his debut as a goalkeeper, but as a midfielder, or as an attacking midfielder! But as his height increased by leaps and bounds, his dad made him a goalkeeper, and this transformation immediately won the spring, and Buffon played quite well in the league, and finally selected for the national team in '97.
At this point, he has already shown the style of a world-class goalkeeper, and if this save is not perfect enough? Three minutes later, Ze Roberto suddenly fired a lob shot from the left side of the penalty area, and the ball went straight to the top right corner of the goal! It was almost a theoretical dead end, but he didn't expect Buffon to move his steps quickly, and after flying up, he actually stabbed the ball with his right hand, and the ball finally flew out of the bottom line.
"Such a goalkeeper is so powerful!" The Bayer Leverkusen fans in the stands were all shouting in celebration and were blown away by Gianluigi Buffon's performance.
"Our Matisek isn't that good,"
"The position of goalkeeper is probably our weakest link!"
'I feel like I'm already strong in other positions, and if there's a super striker and a goalkeeper, Bayer Leverkusen will be perfect.'
Ze Roberto's corner from the left sent Parma into a panic in the penalty area, but it was Thuram who headed the ball out, but it flew right towards Zheng Zhi, who was left unguarded and volleyed with his right foot.
Outside the instep!
With a whew, the ball flew over Cannavaro's head and flew in a powerful arc towards the bottom right corner of the goal, and the ball was about to fly into the goal.
It's the teenager Buffon again! Buffon fell to the ground again and grabbed the ball with both hands.
!!!
Awesome! Buffon! Even Zheng Zhi couldn't help but admire. I always feel that Buffon's debut is the pinnacle, and the young Buffon seems to be more awesome than the old Buffon, and his reaction is too fast.
Gianluigi Buffon has been hailed as the successor to legendary goalkeepers in Italian history, such as Jan Pirlo Comby, Aldo Olivieri and Dino Zoff.
Buffon's technical characteristics are clear:
First, the body, for Buffon, who was born in a sports family, the inheritance of the family gave Buffon the excellent physique that an athlete needs.
Second, saves, it is said that Buffon made a total of 27 saves in the 2006 World Cup in Germany, with a success rate of 100%, as a world-class goalkeeper, Buffon is reassuring because he does not like to save the ball like other goalkeepers, which undoubtedly reflects Buffon's solid basic skills. This may have been a big reason why Italy was able to win the 2006 World Cup. Kahn dropped out in the final in '02 and said goodbye to the World Champion......
Third, stability, a good goalkeeper is not about how many goals he can save, but more importantly, stable play and no mistakes, Buffon is a traditional Italian goalkeeper, in one word is "stable".
Fourth, the selection and foot movement, steady future ball grab, this is what every goalkeeper can do, but the difference between an excellent goalkeeper and an ordinary goalkeeper is a reasonable position selection and rapid foot movement, which can help the goalkeeper save the ball in the sport, reasonable position selection comes from years of accumulated experience and judgment of the situation on the field and the ball.
Obviously, Buffon at this time is already very awesome.
"If it weren't for that goalkeeper, we would have been ahead by now."
"It is said that every weak team has a good goalkeeper, why does Parma, which is so strong, also have such a good goalkeeper?"
Bayer Leverkusen fans want to cry. But now the team clearly has the upper hand, which makes them very excited and cheering louder and louder.
But on the football field, not having an advantage means that you can win.
In the 60th minute, Parma played a quick counterattack, Dino Baggio stuffed the ball to the feet of the fast-starting Amoruso, who smashed the ball continuously, right, left, and right! Three consecutive smashes shook the ball, and Novotny directly split into a straight leg.
With a click, it felt like the entire crotch was cracking.
Embarrassed, Amoruso is right under his nose and pushes the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal!
2:1。
Amoruso, who was a man of great individual ability, scored the goal, while Novotny became the background.
"Oh my God, our strikers can't do that."
"Germany doesn't have such a striker, not even Kirsten."
"The Brazilian is so good, he's worth $35 million. I have to admit that the Brazilian has really great technique on his feet. Breitner stepped up Amoruso.
"But there is one thing that our German striker can't match the Brazilian striker, and that is his heading skills, and any German striker has top-notch heading skills."
"But...... Brazilians may be dismissive of headers, there are very few Brazilian strikers with excellent header skills. ”
'Parma had already lost ground in midfield, but they took advantage of the opportunity, and their counter-attack did not go through the midfield at all, but directly handed the ball to the striker at the back. It looks more like a trap. ”
"Yo, Novotny seems to be injured, this defensive action probably made him pull up the thigh, or the root of the thigh, if it is the root of the thigh, the groin, then the injury is not optimistic."
Novotny limped off the pitch and signaled to Worrall that he was no more. Worrall immediately frowned, worried that a player would be injured, the vice-captain would be injured, or the core of the rear, what should this special new season do? At the moment, he could only kick Lucio out of the bench.
Lucio's face was obviously happy, he didn't even take off his coat, he directly put on the warm-up hexagram and ran on the sidelines, leaving him little time to warm up, it is estimated that it will be more than a minute, after all, Leverkusen can't lose one person for a long time, especially the back!
Soon, he took off his clothes and went on the pitch, then LaMelo moved to the middle, where he was to the left of LaMelo.
"That kid comes up, I feel too unreliable."
"He was already behind, and he came up again, woo, it's over, I don't see hope."
"Damn, that Brazilian striker is too good, and this little melon is not an opponent."
Soon, Bayer Leverkusen's side created another opportunity, Zheng Zhi split the right side, Beinrich rolled the ball and crossed, but Kirsten was stuck by Cannavaro, Cannavaro easily handed the ball to Walem, and Walem sent a long pass over the top!
"Oh~"
"It's a long pass again, dangerous!"
The ball quickly fell in front of Bayer Leverkusen's penalty area, and Amoroso was about to get the ball! Lucio jumped! Shoved his head directly into Amoruso's chest.
Da~
The ball was pushed straight out of the touchline by him, and Amoruso didn't stop the ball.
"This guy!"
"Don't you want to die?"
Amoroso glared at Lucio, a fellow Brazilian countryman, and felt that this guy was too desperate. However, at this time, he did not know that Lucio was Brazilian.
"What a ball!"
"It's finally brilliant once, I thought he was overdone."
"It's just going to have to be so hard."
The fans also applauded, and then immediately gave a round of applause.
Zheng Zhi finally retreated to the backcourt and sandwiched Amoroso with Lucio.
“good!”
Zheng Zhi gave a thumbs up, praised Lucio in the simplest English, and then pointed at Lucio, meaning that the two of them would get him together.
Fosse threw a depth charge directly on the touchline and aimed at Crespo, who leaned on LaMelo and tried to turn and volley, but Ballack appeared right next to him and forced the ball away.
The ball bounced on the turf, and Barak was about to catch up, only to be immediately stopped by Forser. Fouled, didn't let Ballack rush.
"Cunning Italians,"
"They won't let you launch an easy counterattack, even if it's a foul,"
"Forsse did a good job, this beautiful tactical foul. Barak should learn something from this. ”
……
……
With a one-goal lead, Parma retracted and waited for an opportunity to counter-attack.
Bayer Leverkusen played the ball on the flank, but there was no advantage in the box, and the game soon came to the 79th minute, Worrall looked at his watch and played a third card, replacing Link with Neuville.
Link was a little sullen when he came off the pitch, there was no good performance in this game, he was almost stared at by French defender Thuram, and his mind was now full of that black face, dizziness, and nausea......
As soon as Neuville came up, Emerson tried to plug a straight kick, but unfortunately Neuville did not react, and the ball was directly held in the arms of Buffon, who attacked.
"Neuville is probably not used to this kind of pass, after all, he came from a small team, and I guess no one has been able to pass this kind of ball to him before?"
"If this ball is exchanged for Amoruso, who is worth $35 million, at least he can find a way to hit the goal."
Buffon kicked the ball out with a big foot, and LaMelo firmly put the ball at the feet of Zheng Zhi, who was pulled to the side to receive the ball, and Zheng Zhi rushed through the midfield with the ball, but Parma had recovered all the way and blocked the backfield tightly.
Top level defense, almost watertight. After being attacked by Zheng Zhi in the first half, Parma paid attention to the overall recovery.
"Zheng,"
Ballack returned to the middle to respond, and Zheng Zhi had to hand the ball to Ballack.
Barak took two straight steps and suddenly kicked the door!
With a buzz, the ball went straight towards Parma's goal, but the angle was so right that Buffon easily held the ball in his arms, as if he couldn't help it.
With a big hand, he threw the ball to Dino Baggio, who ran out of the box, and Baggio sent another long ball.
They are addicted to the long pass.
However, this time his footwork was obviously not mastered well, and the ball was not touched in the middle of the three and was intercepted by Lucio. As soon as Lucio saw that the middle was empty, he rushed up with the ball himself.
"Ahh This guy has become a midfielder in seconds! ”
"Pass, idiot!"
Whoosh, Lucio rushed across the midfield.
Zheng Zhi was also startled, and hurriedly pulled back, thinking that Lucio was going to rush up, but his worry was unnecessary, Lucio was not so stupid, he finally kicked the ball to him, and then pulled it to the side, and did not continue to rush forward.
Zheng Zhi distributed the ball to Ze Roberto, who pedaled the four-legged bicycle in succession, but was easily punched by Forsse and the ball rolled back. Zheng Zhi rushed to the horse, and as soon as he buckled with his left foot, he directly pulled the ball to the middle, without any fancy movements at all, but Dino Baggio's movements were still very fast, and as soon as his left leg was extended, Zheng Zhi fell and ate.
Fouled.
A well-positioned set-piece five metres to the left of the penalty area.
"This position, many people can come to a kick."
"Ze Roberto, Ballack, Zheng, they all have a free-kick technique."
The three of them also stood together. Ze Roberto is a left-footed player, and if he comes to take the penalty, he can only pass the ball into the penalty area, and the probability of shooting on goal is not very high. ”
"It's either Zheng or Barak."
Sure enough, Ze Roberto didn't get close to the ball, presumably under a cover.
"Michael, you're out of luck today, I'll come?" Zheng Zhi stood in front of the ball.
Barak shrugged his shoulders, Zheng Zhi said so, what else could he say? Let's not grab this ball!
Worrall was a pat on the head.
Ah!
I forgot to specify who would take the free-kick.
For a free kick like this, someone must be specified, otherwise everyone will rush to take the penalty.
Worrall was a rookie, and he didn't even think of that.
But now there is no problem, it is Zheng Zhilai who is in charge.
Zheng Zhi glanced into the big forbidden area, but found that Lucio was also there.
scold
This little guy ......
Zheng Zhi suddenly had an idea.
When the whistle blew, Zheng Zhi sent the ball into Parma's penalty area. There was chaos in the box, Emerson blocked Cannavaro and Lucio got in front!
The ball fell sharply in a powerful arc.
"No shots!"
"Ahh
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”
“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”
"Lucio!"
"Lucio puts the ball in the back of the net!"
"A bouncing ball!"
'The Italian goalkeeper couldn't react well.'
Teenager Gianluigi Buffon's goal finally missed again......
“2:2!”
"I didn't expect it to be the Brazilian defender who equalised. It was so unexpected. ”
'Worrall's set-piece tactics were well arranged and Lucio's header potential was spotted.
Worrall would have blushed if he heard it, because he didn't have such an arrangement at all, he hadn't arranged for Lucio to fight for the header! It was Lucio himself who came up.
Damn it! He scolded when he saw Lucio appear in the big forbidden area just now, but he didn't expect Lucio to be slapped in the face a few seconds later.
Did he score?
His face froze for a few seconds before he burst into laughter......
Crooked hitting......
After scoring the goal, Lucio rushed to him and took the initiative to Zheng Zhi, and then hugged Zheng Zhi in his arms fiercely and kissed his forehead frantically.
“thank you,”
“thank you!”
He still said a few words in English, and instantly smeared half of Zheng Zhi's face with saliva.
Excited, he couldn't understand how uncomfortable Zheng Zhi was at this time......
Of course, this is not the first time that his face has been kissed like this, Schneider has often done this when he was in Frankfurt before, and Grosso has done the same. In short, his face is colloquially known as the face of a bus! It's a ...... that everyone can get close to.
