Chapter 406: We Won the UEFA Cup (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Uh-uh!"
"That guy actually scored."
"What's his name? I suddenly couldn't remember his name. ”
"Lusica,"
"No, no, no, Rosicka!"
"No, his name is Lusimal Ferreira da Silva!"
There are still fans who have done their homework and read Lucio's name directly.
"We can call him Lucio,"
"That's what the guys at the club call him."
"How do you know?"
"I have a cousin who works at the training ground, and he says that's what everybody calls it."
"What about Zheng, does he have any nickname?"
"ZZ, that's what Beinrich called him."
“ZZ? This is okay, let's call him that in the future! ”
"ZZ and Lucio must have practiced this kind of cooperation, otherwise they worked together so well?"
No, Zheng Zhi and Lucio have not cooperated in set-pieces, this is a coincidence, a luck, Zheng Zhi does want to pass the ball to Lucio, but whether he can grab the landing point depends on Lucio himself......
Malaisani shook his head on the sidelines, he was not satisfied with the team's set-piece defense this time, no matter how good the sports defense was, people used a front-court set-piece to score directly, he thought that Parma would strengthen set-piece defense training in the future.
It's just, why is it Zheng again?!
Zheng Zhi was deeply impressed in his heart......
"Oops,"
"Damn bounce balls."
"Ugh."
"Training in this area must be strengthened."
The teenager Buffon picked up the ball from the goal helplessly, and was very unhappy, losing two goals in one game was big news for him! It's terrible to concede a goal, he can keep a clean sheet in a season!
From the start of the 96/97 season, wasn't that the case that season? Last year, they were able to beat Serie A champions AC Milan 4-0, not to mention conceding goals. Apparently he was disappointed today, losing two ......
Of course, this is because he is too demanding of himself, and if he hadn't been on the goal line, Parma might have conceded more goals and he would have made several stunning saves.
After conceding the goal, his teammates also had some complaints, Cannavaro was a little unhappy with Valem, who came on as a substitute in the second half, he beeped a few words in front of Valem, if it wasn't for Warem not protecting him, he would not have been squeezed out of the way by the opponent, allowing Lucio to complete the header.
At this time, manager Malaisani made another change, Crespo was replaced by Di Vaio, and it looked like another striker, Di Natale, was also ready to play as he warmed up on the sidelines. In the forward position, Parma have plenty of forward reserves, even Bayer Leverkusen do not have such talent reserves, perhaps this is why Bayer Leverkusen did not go far in the Champions League last season.
Di Vaio was targeted by LaMelo when he came up, while Lucio was still looking at his Brazilian countryman. However, Di Vaio was obviously not as good as Crespo, and he conceded the ball as soon as he came up, with LaMelo behind him, and Zheng Zhi easily cut off the ball at his feet from the flank.
Then Zheng Zhi immediately launched a fast attack, directly hit the ball to the left rear of Parma, but unfortunately Neuville failed to stop the ball, the disadvantage of short legs was shown, Thuram raised his legs, half a cut more than him, hooked the ball and then turned around in a dashing way, and rushed up with the ball, a typical offensive maniac, although he is a defender, but he has a striker's heart!
Ze Roberto made a symbolic stop on the left flank, only to be easily cleared by Thuram!
It looks like Ze Roberto is more like a walk.
Thuram soon came to a 45-degree angle of the cross, looking for Di Vayo who had just come up, but Di Vaio lost his position again under the entanglement of LaMelo, the ball was disposed of by Lamelo, but the clearance was not far away, Amoroso ran out of the penalty area to intercept the ball, at this time, Lucio was still in the penalty area, it was obvious that he lost Amoroso!
Amoruso flicked the ball to the right and immediately adjusted the pace of the shot, but when her right foot just pumped over the ball, Zheng Zhi's right foot reached in time and blocked it just in front of the ball.
bang
The light thundered and did not rain, the ball did not fly, and it was still stuck between the feet of the two people. Amoruso was slightly stunned, Zheng Zhi's ankle shook, hooked the ball out, and then quickly pulled to the left to get rid of Amoruso. By the time Amoruso reacted, Zheng Zhi had already passed the ball to Ballack, and he himself rushed up.
It was another continuous collision with the wall, and the two crossed the halfway line and continued to advance quickly in front of the Parma penalty area, which was a rare forward attack by Zheng Zhi.
The two men went almost in tandem, one on the left and one on the right, and Dino Baggio and Valem in the middle could not be stopped, and even the speed was half a beat slower.
The speed was fast, and it was like a flowing advance, and it was very close to the entry of Parma. Fosse and Breda on both sides were closing in the middle, trying to surround them from the side, but at the last moment, Zheng Zhiwai's instep flicked, and the ball was distributed to the right side, Beinrich inserted behind Breda from the right, and the right side was completely empty, Beinrich quickly hit the ball into the big penalty area, and glanced up, Kirsten and Neuville were outflanked in place, but his position was also very good, so he directly kicked the goal!
Dream!
The youngster Buffon made a decisive attack and pounced at Beinrich's feet, not allowing Beinrich to rush up at all. With this attack, Beinrich's space on goal was small, and the ball bounced off Buffon's right thigh.
"Woohoo~"
"Nice sorties, nice saves,"
"Stefan didn't score the goal."
Cannavaro immediately appeared in front of the ball and half-turned and kicked it out, instantly relieving the danger. The ball fell far near the halfway line, Robert Kovac stopped the ball, pocketed his right foot, and sent the ball to Parma again in front of the penalty area, Zheng Zhi moved sideways quickly, pushed the arch of his right foot, and the ball fell just right in front of Ballack, who shot at the ball!
Knock –
A powerful volley from the edge of the penalty area!
Buffon, who had already climbed up from the turf, raised his fists and the ball flew out of the lintel.
!!!
Ballack really wanted to go up and strangle Buffon, but the ball was rejected by Buffon again, it was not easy for him to score a goal.
Half a minute later, however, he almost vomited blood, as Ze Roberto's corner was flicked over the head and the ball flew towards the back post, but Buffon leaped and held the ball firmly in his hand.
"He's not human,"
"Ah, this guy,"
"Perverted!"
Barak ran back in a huff, and then complained to Zheng Zhi.
yes, he's Buffon! Zheng Zhiwan smiled. If it weren't, he wouldn't be Buffon......
In the blink of an eye, the 90 minutes were coming to an end, and with less than five minutes to go, it looked like the game was going to be a draw. Maybe it's the end of the 2:2 scoreline.
Buffon was so pleased with his masterpiece this time that he even lifted the ball above his head and smacked it.
However, this time he did not throw the ball directly because for them, the situation is a bit bad now, Parma is too poor in midfield to control the ball at all, and if he continues to be besieged by Bayer Leverkusen, he will have to continue to be busy as a goalkeeper. It seems that everyone has no intention of fighting now, and a 2-2 draw should be the most reasonable result.
Although not satisfied, it was not much worse, at least in Germany to save face, did not let Bayer Leverkusen, who played at home, sneer.
But there are still teammates who are working hard, Di Vaio, who has just come up, is still fighting, Dino Baggio's passing is not very good, but he still does not give up this opportunity.
At 18 billion lira, Di Vaio is eager to prove himself, he is nothing in this team after winning Italy and the top scorer in the league, with Crespo and Amoruso in front of him, and Di Nata competing with him, he can't do it without trying.
But it's not enough to just run......
LaMelo eventually got the ball first, and then calmly knocked the ball to Lucio, who then gently cushioned the ball to Zheng Zhi, who in turn handed it to Ze Roberto on the left, who passed it to Neuville.
This time Leuville lived up to expectations, stopping the ball with the outside of his right foot and moving to the middle before Cannavaro could get close to him!
He used his speed to shake off Caravaro, while also dodging space to shoot.
But Mr. Cannavaro is not a rookie, and as a good man-marking centre-back, he falls to the ground and makes a sliding tackle!
Neuville flicked the ball again, and it was too late.
However, Neuville lay on the turf and Cannavaro was fouled.
Bayer Leverkusen had another chance to take a full-time set-piece, which was better than the previous one, but you were on the left.
Ballack still didn't give up, and this time he held the ball in his arms first.
"I'll do this ball."
"I don't believe it."
If he doesn't score a goal today, he is really unwilling in his heart!
"Michael,"
"I'll give you a false shot, are you fighting?"
Zheng Zhi didn't rob him, but wanted to cooperate with him.
"Hmm!"
Buffon hurriedly set up a human wall next to the left post and commanded his teammates. He didn't want to be beaten by Bayer Leverkusen in the last minute. A 6-man human wall sealed the far end, leaving the near corner to himself.
When the whistle blew, Zheng Zhi took the lead in running, but finally collapsed from the ball, followed by Ballack to follow up with his feet and hit the goal. But the ball didn't fly over the wall!
Beep
The whistle is blowing again!
The referee signaled for handball......
Just on the line of the penalty area, the ball hit the hapless Cannavaro in the left arm, and the referee saw it clearly. If it was on the hand, it was estimated that he would not have awarded it, but it was different if it was on the arm, and the referee awarded a free kick.
"Michael?"
"Do you want a kick?"
Zheng Zhi seemed to be smiling, Barak shot at least eight times in this game! But without a single goal, it was nine shots, right?
Barak blackened his face and just spat out a word.
"No,"
He got out of the way a little angrily, it is estimated that he is completely convinced, today is just no goal luck, barely and no happiness.
Gianluigi Buffon in front of goal was depressed, he thought the danger was gone, but he didn't expect another set-piece, and it was closer to the goal.
"Damn,"
"Is there an end?"
However, he still set up the human wall again seriously, this time there were as many as 7 guys in the human wall, after all, it was too close to the goal, and the more people stood here, the more effective it was to stop the ball.
A set-piece that is too close is actually more difficult to fly over the wall and into the goal.
"Look, I'll teach you how to kick a free kick,"
"It takes brains."
Zheng Zhi glanced at the human wall and suddenly smiled.
"What? You teach me to kick a free kick? ”
Ballack rolled his eyes, his free kick was no worse than Zheng Zhi, it just lacked arc, but the strength was more domineering and strong than Zheng Zhi's.
"Of course, you can watch it."
Zheng Zhi looked confident, and slowly retreated, pulling the distance away.
What are you going to do with this guy. Buffon in front of the goal was stunned, the running distance was too far, but could he hit a curling ball over the wall?
He didn't believe it.
The angle is almost sealed, and the ball is difficult to fly with wings~
Buffon was also very confident, his eyes locked on Zheng Zhi's right foot, and he reacted the moment Zheng Zhi shot......
Beep
The whistle blew.
Although Barak didn't care, he still kept his eyes on Zheng Zhi.
After rushing past the running distance, Zheng Zhi's body quickly pressed down to the left, but with a shake of his right ankle, he actually changed his shooting posture?!
Got a kick to shoot?!
Barak's eyes almost dropped, and then he saw Parma's human wall jump! The ball went underneath.
"Oh?!" His mouth subconsciously opened into an O-shape!
Buffon in front of the goal also noticed that something was wrong, but when he reacted and quickly moved a step to the left, the ball had already swooped into the goal!
'Ahh
"Ahhhh
Unacceptable, this ball, this ball......
In this moment, Buffon immediately remembered a report from last year's newspaper "Milan Sport" - "Top 10 unexpected free-kick shots. ”
This shot is mentioned in it - jumping off the ground while the wall is taking advantage of the human wall and hitting the boccia!
The free kick I was talking about at the time, this guy shot it, right?!
I forgot the ?!!!!!!!
Unforgivable......
Buffon turned and grabbed the net fiercely, instantly feeling that he was the stupidest goalkeeper in the world, and he could have thought of it, but he didn't think of it, what a big fool......
That's right, Zheng Zhi's first free-kick of this kind was against Bayern Munich when he humiliated Kahn, but he didn't expect to come again today against another future legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, and it was successful again.
This opportunistic way of shooting has been tried and tested time and again......
“goooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”
"China Zheng!"
"Perfect lore!"
“3:2! Bayer Leverkusen turned the score around at home. ”
'It was an unexpected free-kick, it wasn't the first time he'd done it, Kahn was the first victim and now it's the Italian goalkeeper's turn.
"It's impressive."
"He's got an incredible brain."
"His goal once again reminded every club that when lining up the wall, don't jump easily, woo~"
"This is the tragic case of Chiguoguo!"
"The UEFA Cup winners could lose because of this goal!"
……
……
"Michael?"
"What's going on?"
Zheng Zhi smiled and greeted Barak's embrace.
"Well, the ball was a surprise."
"But how do you know they're going to jump?" Barak put his arm around him, not understanding why Zheng Zhi was gambling so much.
"Because I've found out that they jump up every time they line up the wall, and if I don't take advantage of that, then I'm stupid."
"......" Barak stopped squeaking, he didn't notice it, how did he feel like Zheng Zhi was scolding him for being too stupid, just now the other party's human wall also jumped up, but he didn't find it.
……
……
At the last moment, Buffon couldn't stop Leverkusen's third bullet, and Zheng Zhi's goal overtook the score. And there are less than 2 minutes left in the regular time.
The celebration took one minute, and the fourth official made a symbolic one minute of stoppage time......
After the game restarted, Dino Baggio hit a big foot in the front court and let Di Vaio earn it, but such a pass could not pose a threat, and the Leverkusen players could not give up the victory in hand.
In the end, the game ended at full-time, and Bayer Leverkusen defeated the new UEFA Cup champion Parma 3-2 at the Bayer Arena!
The Bayer Leverkusen fans in the stands went completely crazy.
"Win?"
"Are we really going to win?"
"We won the UEFA Cup?"
"Ahh
"It's so cool!"
"We're really strong!"
"What about the UEFA Cup winners? When I see us, I have to lie down and bow down to Chen Chen! ”
……
……
※※※※
The teenager Buffon stood on the goal line, his expression was very lonely, although it was only a friendly match, but the goal of his hand was pierced by the opponent three times, and he was definitely in a bad mood.
His eyes fell on Zheng Zhi who was walking towards him, and he thought, what is he going to do?
Ah, if it weren't for him, this ball......
My heart is even more panicked.
"Can I swap jerseys with you?"
"Huh?"
"You just want to use my jersey as a trophy?"
Buffon looked unhappy.
"No, no, no, I admire your goalkeeping skills."
"I don't want to miss it."
"I don't want to regret not exchanging jerseys with you years later when you're the greatest goalkeeper in the world."
???
It's really sensational, but to put it mildly, don't you want to show off?
That's a quote, and it sounds good!
"Can you see that?"
Buffon took off his gloves and looked at Zheng Zhi suspiciously. I always feel that this sentence is a bit foolish. He's only 21 years old, how did he know he was going to be the best goalkeeper ever since?
"Of course, you almost my teammates off to tears."
"Michael Ballack, how many of his goals have you denied?"
"Ahaha, that's."
"If you hadn't made a sneak attack, I wouldn't have lost this ball." Buffon touched the back of his head, and his tail was cocked into the sky.
"I remember you, there was an article dedicated to your way of shooting, if I could remember that it was you, I would never ......"
Under the bright lights, Buffon and Zheng Zhi were communicating, completely without the tension of the first half. Not far away, Cannavaro looked at the two of them with a somewhat surprised look.
