Chapter Eighty-Eight: Intermission Without Skills

Brescia's second goal came in the 42nd minute of the game, after which the players took some time to celebrate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Shortly after Roma restarted, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

At the end of the first half, Brescia unexpectedly led Roma 2-0 away from home. Contributing to the team are the youngster Zhang Shu who came out of nowhere this season and their captain Robby Baggio. Fabio was commenting on the first half. With a number of Roma players returning home for last weekend's international break, it was evident in today's game that they were not very excited. ”

"Today Totti was pushed up front, resulting in the Roma midfielder not being able to control the situation on the field very effectively, and on the wing, the main right side Cafu had a very good performance after the opening, but in the second half of the first half, the Brazilian seemed to be a little exhausted. Let's see how Capello makes adjustments at half-time. ”

He flipped through the information in his hand and suddenly found something interesting.

"It is worth mentioning that Brazil played a friendly match with China last weekend, in which Roma's Cafu and Emerson and Brescia's Zhang both participated. The two also helped Brazil defeat Zhang's Chinese team 3-2. However, judging from today's game, they may have put too much energy into the national team, although the result of this game is still inconclusive, but Zhang's excellent performance today can be regarded as a successful revenge. ”

"It's just that I think Capello would definitely rather lose to China than see Cafu's sluggish performance today."

Hearing Fabio's final teaser, the Brescia audience in front of the TV gloated.

But Capello wasn't happy at all, Fabio was right, and now he was cursing Cafu in his heart.

It's just a friendly match for the national team, why are you working so hard! Don't you know who is the one who pays you!!??

But he could only think about these words in his heart, and he didn't dare to really say them in front of the players. He knows that in the hearts of many players, the status of the national team is paramount, and he doesn't want to cause a rift between himself and the players because of this topic.

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, Cafu's performance is quite normal, the 12th participated in international competitions, the 13th also participated in a commercial event with Brazil, the 14th flew thousands of kilometers from China back to Italy, and then took a day off before starting again. It's a rare thing to be able to start the first half well.

If it weren't for the Chinese kid on the other side who participated in the same match, Capello would not have been disappointed with Cafu's performance.

But look at others! Why can others be alive all the time, and they can't see fatigue at all! It must be someone else who puts the club first and stays in the national team!

Of course, Capello didn't know, and Zhang Shu was also uncomfortable now.

As soon as he returned to the locker room in Brescia, Zhang Shu immediately found a place to sit down. The Stadio Olimpic's visitors, like most stadiums, are deliberately poorly decorated. The stool in front of the locker has no backrest and is some distance from the closet, so that the visiting players cannot rest comfortably, which is a little trick to increase the home team's advantage.

Zhang Shu sat on a stool, his elbows propped on his thighs, leaning forward, his head lowered. He was hurrying to regain his strength. Although in the eyes of others, he successfully dragged down Cafu, but everyone seemed to have forgotten that Zhang Shu's physical fitness was not very good. Even if he doesn't need to defend and doesn't sprint back and forth between the offensive and defensive ends like Cafu, he has broken through with the ball many times throughout the first half, which is also huge.

"Zhang, no problem, right?" Guardiola asked with concern. After he joined the team, Mazzoni handed over the task of organising the team, and he was responsible for determining the direction of each attack. So he has to have a clear idea of the form and fitness of his teammates.

Previously, the burden of Brescia's attacking core and playmaking core was on Baggio's shoulders.

"Ahh It seems like... Issue... Somewhat... Big.... Zhang Shu lowered his head and gasped for breath and replied intermittently, large beads of sweat dripping down the tip of his nose to the ground. He was holding a bottle of sports drink and wanted to drink some water, but his hands were shaking and he couldn't twist the cap off.

In the past, whenever he entered halftime, he was able to rely on the "Stagnate" skill to regain his full strength, and compared to other players, his health bar was short, but he could use two of them. So every time in the first half, he will unscrupulously squeeze all his physical strength, and he doesn't need to think about allocating physical strength for the second half.

But for the first time, he felt the feeling of weakness after his physical exhaustion. When he returned to Italy a few days ago, he had already used this skill in order to convince him that he was fit right, and now the skill is still on a 7-day cooldown.

Mazzoni, who had just walked into the locker room, also noticed Zhang Shu's abnormality, or in his heart, it was normal for Zhang Shu to show fatigue. Originally, he participated in two competitions in such a short period of time, and experienced a flight across the Eurasian continent in the middle, with Zhang Shu's short professional training time, it would be a real difference if he still showed full physical strength.

In fact, judging from the physical fitness reports Mazzoni receives every week, Zhang Shu's performance today can be regarded as very good.

In order to convince himself that his physical fitness was fine, he must have spent all his willpower during the test, right? What a messy kid. Mazzoni thought to himself. He tapped on the tactics board to draw the attention of his teammates to him.

"We did a good job in the first half. Especially Zhang, you did a very good job and completely exceeded what I asked of you. Mazzoni said as he walked back and forth in the middle of the dressing room. You've managed to drain Cafu's energy and he won't pose much of a threat to us in the second half - if he's not replaced, of course. ”

Zhang Shu raised his head and smiled, and laboriously made a V-shaped gesture to Mazoni.

The corners of Mazoni's mouth are slightly upturned, this kid has to pretend to be like this. But he quickly restrained his smile, and what he was about to say next was not for a smile.

"So, Zhang, your mission is done, you can take a break in the second half. Filippini, you'll go out early to warm up. ”

Zhang Shu's smile froze on his face, he instinctively wanted to stand up and say something, but the sore knees made him unable to succeed, he opened his mouth, and finally closed his mouth with a depressed face.

Mazzoni is already explaining to the other players what to expect in the second half, but that's not a matter of concern.

Zhang Shu is now thinking about his future countermeasures.

With the improvement of Brescia's performance, he will definitely face the problem of multi-front combat in the future, and it is very common to have two matches a week or even three matches a week, and the cooldown time of his stagnant skill is as long as seven days, which is definitely not enough.

Even now, when you only play in league games, it's not uncommon for you to have only six days between games.

Therefore, it is only by relying on training to improve one's physical fitness that is fundamental.

Zhang Shu thought like this, and silently made up his mind in his heart.
