The next games of the barefoot are all away, one is to go to Shandong, away to Shandong Luneng, and the other is to go to Hebei, away to Hebei Huaxia. Both league games are extremely important for the barefoot and cannot be missed.

Shao Yifan continued to be selected for the squad and played away with the team for the first time.

However, it is frustrating that Shao Yifan did not get the chance to start in the two games, and the playing time was pitiful.

In the first game against Luneng, he came on as a substitute in the 80th minute, and although he tried his best, he could only watch the team lose the road. If this is acceptable - after all, Luneng is the top team in the Chinese Super League - then it will be difficult to accept another defeat to Hebei Huaxia away from home.

In this game, Shao Yifan didn't get the chance to play, he was still off the field, watching the team get lost in the deep night.

Six games without a win have left the team in the relegation zone now, and if there are no major adjustments in the remaining games, it will be relegation!

"Damn it, what the hell! Zhang Wailong is out of class!" Such invective is rampant under Barefoot's various social media accounts. The dissatisfaction of the fans has put a lot of pressure on the club.

Finally, before the next game, the club urgently announced the termination of the contract with head coach Zhang Wailong. At the same time, the new head coach of Barefoot, the AC Milan legend in the playing era - Inzaghi. It is also known as the ninth master by Milan fans!

As soon as this news came out, it instantly caused a huge sensation among Chinese fans. Inzaghi, that's Inzaghi! Jiuye, who has helped AC Milan win Europe twice and helped Italy win the Hercules Cup, has come to China! If it weren't for the official announcement of Barefoot, it is estimated that even if the BBC announced the news, there would be a large number of people who would not believe it!

But soon after, when the craze for the nostalgia for the Ninth Master receded, doubts also came.

Indeed, as a player, Inzaghi is the top one. But as a coach, his results are clearly not very convincing. Some people even say that he is a rookie as a coach, and the dismal dismissal from Milan and Bologna over the years is the best proof of this.

Now, he has come to China and is the head coach of the barefoot. Will everything change?

For Inzaghi's arrival, the red football players expressed their joy. They are also looking forward to working with the Hercules Cup-winning coach.

Shao Yifan, who was born as a striker, is even more in awe of Inzaghi. In his mind, Inzaghi has always been one of the best strikers. Perhaps he doesn't have the skill of the famous Italian star Baggio, nor the strong body of his good friend Vieri, nor the lightning speed of Ronaldo or Thierry Henry, but he has made it to the top striker in the world by relying only on his ability to take chances in front of goal and his diligence and love for football. And these are the reasons why Shao Yifan loves him.

The first thing Inzaghi did when he arrived was to train the team first. There is very little time for him, and he must make changes to the team, otherwise what awaits him can only be the same result as Zhang Wailong.

He watched video footage of every game the team played this season. Repeated scrutiny, tactical training for the players many times. And it just so happens that the FA Cup is coming, and the key for the barefoot is relegation, and the FA Cup is powerless to fight for. This is also the best opportunity for Inzaghi to experiment.

As for Shao Yifan, the Ninth Master attaches great importance to him. He could clearly understand that this teenager was much better at reading the game than other Chinese players.

At the same time, he also noticed Chen Wei, a Chinese midfielder who is about the same age as Shao Yifan. Inzaghi was shocked by his awareness of the game, it was a talent, a talent for the game, and he knew exactly where it was best to get the ball.

So, when three days later, barefoot played against Dalian Yifang in the FA Cup at home. Fans were amazed by the barefoot starting line-up.

There is only one foreign player, Brazilian midfielder Hudson, and the core foreign players Berio and Recio are both sitting on the bench. In their place, there are two barefoot underage players, Shao Yifan and Chen Wei.

"Inzaghi is crazy! He actually pressed the two main foreign players on the bench?"

"Although the performance of Shao Yifan and Chen Wei is really good, it is not enough to take on such a big responsibility, right?"

"Don't be surprised! It's just an FA Cup game. Jiu Ye is rotating the main force! ”

“……”

There are generally doubts among fans, and there are few optimistic about the two young players Shao Yifan and Chen Wei.

In the midst of such doubts, Shao Yifan and Chen Wei appeared on the Sky Stadium for the first time as starters.

The evening glow sprinkled on the sky blue stands. Although it was only an FA Cup match, there were more than 30,000 blue fans sitting in the stands at the Sky Stadium. They are all looking forward to the legendary nine masters, the first coaching game here.

Barefoot captain goalkeeper Xie Zhen led the team onto the pitch.

The game began with the cheers of the blue fans.

Although the 45-year-old Inzaghi is slightly old, he has a pleasing elegance in his gestures. And on the old face, you can also see some of the handsome appearance of youth. Some people say that he is an indifferent killer, and others say that he is a "three-no striker", but no matter what, he will not be changed by the outside world.

He watched the performance of the disciples on the field with a blank expression. It's hard to say why he came to China, maybe it's because of the frustration in Italy, maybe it's the curiosity about the mysterious ancient country of the East, maybe it's both. It's just that when he received the official invitation from Barefoot, he only hesitated for a moment and agreed. And then he was standing here.

To be honest, he was disappointed after watching barefoot training, he didn't expect a top-flight team to be so bad. The basic skills are not solid, the ability to read the game is insufficient, and the ability to execute tactics is insufficient...... This series of questions made him feel suffocated.

Fortunately, he found Shao Yifan and Chen Wei soon after. The ability of these two young players still makes him very satisfied, and even a little surprised.

So, between the foreign players who were not in good form and the two excellent young players, Inzaghi decisively chose the latter. Unlike many Chinese, who have a kind of foreign thinking in their hearts, he only looks at strength and status.

And the performance of Shao Yifan and Chen Wei did not disappoint him. The tacit understanding of the game between the two and the strong ability to read the game are the highlights of this game. The back line of Dalian was almost made a big mistake several times under the collision of the two.

However, Shao Yifan got better and better, and in the twentieth minute, he received a pass from Chen Wei in the middle circle and used a bicycle to shake past the Dalian defender to the front of the penalty area.

He didn't wait too much, decisively found a good angle, got up, and hit the door!

Under the gaze of countless fans at the Sky Stadium, the ball was drawn into the net in a very beautiful way, and although the Dalian goalkeeper made a full save, he could not save it.

The cheers of the mountains rang out on the Sky Course.

After scoring the goal, Shao Yifan excitedly ran to the camera, and then unexpectedly turned around and pointed to the number 22 behind him.

At that moment, Inzaghi on the sidelines was in a trance, as if he had returned to Milan many years ago, and the red and black teenager who was also wearing the No. 22 jersey was smiling at him humbly.
