Chapter 122: Team Salute
"Zhang has entered the forbidden area!"
When Zhang Shu crossed the line of the big penalty area with the ball, Mezano, who had been entangled behind his side, immediately restrained the movements of his hands. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Before, he had been interfering with Zhang Shu's dribbling with small movements, and now he didn't dare to continue to do so.
Zhang Shu is not the kind of decent person who resolutely refuses to fall no matter what the defender does, on the contrary, after the game against Bologna, the whole Serie A knew that Brescia has a Chinese who is good at making fouls.
Although Zhang Shu did not fake a fall in any slow motion, his ability to use the rules still made the defenders feel disgusted.
What defenders hate the most is this kind of "porcelain" type of striker who falls down and fouls when he touches.
But abomination is abomination, at least now every defender who faces him is unconsciously smaller.
Mezano was no exception, and it was his foul on Schop that awarded Brescia a penalty in the first half, and this time he didn't want to fall on the referee again.
He let go of the hand that was holding Zhang Shu's shoulder, and accelerated with all his strength to try to get around Zhang Shu's front.
It's a pity that although Zhang Shu's speed is not fast, Mezano is not a player known for his speed, when he finally chased from the inside line to the same position as Zhang Shu, he saw that Zhang Shu had raised his right foot to make a shot.
So Mezano flew out without thinking.
At this time, he didn't care about thinking about deceiving another penalty in case he said that he would stretch his leg over.
Zhang Shu raised his right foot about 12 meters on the right side of the goal, and the goalkeeper just hit halfway through, not only failed to seal the angle, but also lost the reaction distance to save, which was the best chance to shoot.
But when he lifted his foot, he could see out of the corner of his eye that Mezano on the side had made a flying move to block his own shot.
Zhang Shu carefully calculated the speed of his kick and the speed at which Mezano slid in front of him, and found that if he really shot, there was a high chance of kicking Mezzano's leg.
So he decisively changed his intention to shoot, raised his right foot to turn the shot into a smash, gently knocked the ball to his side, and then exerted force on the inside of his right foot, and turned in a forced direction to chase the football.
Mezano, who could no longer stop his movements, slid in front of Zhang Shu and watched as the football slowly rolled in less than half a meter in front of his face. It was a distance that he could have reached out to stop the football, and he almost did, but in the end, the only sanity he had left allowed him to control his half-outstretched arm.
"Good!" Mazzoni in the coach's seat "soared" to his feet, and he stood up so hard that he almost fell back into his seat with one of his feet.
But at this time, the players and assistant coaches on the bench didn't notice the old coach, and everyone stared at Zhang Shu in the penalty area, and they left their seats with their butts, ready to rush to the sidelines to celebrate at any time.
Zhang Shu's fake shot not only deceived Mezzano, but even the goalkeeper of the Torino team, Butch, who was out to the ordinary, was shaken, and he subconsciously lowered his center of gravity and was ready to save. As a result, Zhang Shu did not shoot, but dunked the ball back. Then while Butch's body was still stiff, he slid the ball towards the penalty spot.
Butch managed to stabilize his center of gravity, but it was too late to catch up with Zhang Shu. The direction of his attack just now was in the direction of the near post, Zhang Shu had almost half an empty shot angle after taking a step, Butch was left behind by him, and without hesitation, Zhang Shu raised his left foot again.
This time it was a real shot, the inside of his left foot that landed hit the middle of the ball from the side, and because it was a backfoot, the power of the shot was not great, but it was enough in the face of an empty goal.
The ball slowly rolled against the turf towards the far corner of the goal.
Although Butch finally twisted his body and threw himself towards the football behind him, the gap left behind him was too big, and his hand was still more than a meter away from the ball.
The ball flew into the goal without any suspense.
"Well done! Sheet! Handsome! Viviano shouted with a fist waving.
When Zhang Shu created a quasi-one-on-one opportunity for Tony with a flower arrangement foot over the top, the passion of the fans in the stands was completely ignited, and Viviano and Turio pulled Han Yu to stand up with the crowd and watch the next development of the game.
And as the football flew into the goal, the atmosphere of the scene reached the most enthusiastic climax.
"Our lads have doubled the score again! It was ~~~~~~~~~ who scored the goal" The stadium radio heard the passionate voice of the DJ on the spot.
"Zhang !!!!" There was only one word echoing in the sky over Rigamonti.
"Zhang has finally opened his mind!" Viviano thought to herself, "It's long overdue to kick like this!" ”
He looked at Han Yu's expression, and the girl's face was a mixture of surprise and happiness. On the football field, there is nothing more adorable for girls who don't know how to play than scoring a goal with a difficult job. In Viviano's heart, the previous Zhang Shu was too "unpretentious".
Now, girl, you should know what a good boy Zhang is, right?
Zhang Shu watched the football roll towards the goal after the shot, and after confirming that no one could stop his goal, he turned and ran towards Lucarelli, who was standing in the midfield.
Brescia's players ran towards him from all directions, wanting to celebrate the goal with him, but they were all nimbly dodged by Zhang Shu.
He ran straight up to Lucarelli, and then saluted the depressed Lucarelli as a Young Pioneer.
"Oh hahahaha! What do we see? Fabio laughed, "Zhang saluted Lucarelli, is this a riposte to Lucarelli's communist salute after the goal?" ”
He turned off the microphone and shouted into the radio outside the broadcast room, "Help me find out what that is!" ”
Soon the voice of the director came from his headphones, "That's the Young Pioneers' salute, and the Young Pioneers in China and Russia use that." I don't think Zhang is provoking Lucarelli. ”
For the Italians, they didn't know what Zhang Shu's actions meant, and most would have thought it was Zhang Shu's provocation to Lucarelli. But it didn't take long for Fabio to clear up the doubts of the audience in front of the television.
"Zhang's salute to Lucarelli is the Young Pioneers, the Young Pioneers are an organization of probationary members under the age of 14 of the Communist Party, hahahahaha, it seems that Zhang is paying tribute to Lucarelli, a Communist Party member, and at the same time, he also wants to tell Lucarelli, you are old, and the world belongs to us young people."
After saluting, Zhang Shu grabbed Lucarelli's hand with a smile on his face and shook it, and then he was pulled away by his teammates who caught up.
The Brescia players don't know what Zhang Shu means, but since the "middle finger" incident, the Brescia players have always been on guard against Zhang Shu to make trouble in the game.
They ran up to separate Zhang Shu from Lucarelli, and a group of people carried Zhang Shu and dragged him back to the backfield.
Lucarelli smiled helplessly, he didn't think that Zhang Shu was mocking or provoking him, he knew what kind of courtesy Zhang Shu was doing. As a member of the Communist Party who admired Mao, he still had a good impression of China, the only powerful communist country in existence today.
It's just that as Fabio said, Lucarelli, who witnessed the entire goal process in the midfield, looked at the energetic Zhang Shu, and couldn't help but feel the feeling that the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves.
No, I'm not old yet! He shook his head, shaking the somewhat negative thought out of his head.
At just 28 years old, Lucarelli is in the prime of his footballer's life. Although he has only scored two goals this season, this is mainly due to the tactical reasons of the Torino team. Lucarelli hasn't lost faith in himself yet.
"Hey! What are you holding me for? I didn't do anything! Zhang Shu, who was supported by the strong Tony and Appia with one hand and under his armpits, and could only kick his feet off the ground, protested against the roughness of his teammates.
"Carry it away first, carry it away, carry it away." Pep Guardiola waved at his teammates. Filippini is a good old man, and this kind of black face can only be done by Guardiola.
Seeing that the resistance was ineffective, Zhang Shu also gave up resistance, as if he suddenly remembered something, and turned his head to Tony, who was holding his right hand.
"Tony, I won."
"What did you win?" Tony pretended not to understand, looking dazed.
"Flower foot assist." Zhang Shu reminded, "If you say I'll let you do whatever you want, you can do it, let me go." ”
"It's you and not me who scored! Where are the assists. Toney retorted, "What is it that you scored the ball yourself for the assist you said was good." ”
"You!! I've got a one-handed ball for you!! You've been pulled down yourself and haven't scored! "Zhang Shu didn't expect Tony to cheat." I've got the goalkeeper past me, don't I shoot! ”
Tony turned his head and smiled smugly at Zhang Shu, "Why not?" If you take a step back and turn 180 degrees, don't I just hit the empty door? ”
Zhang Shu was stunned by the other party's shamelessness, and he finally realized Tony's mood before he choked back with his original words.
Mazzoni had already sat back in his seat, smiling calmly and clapping.
He was still excited when Zhang Shu dunked past the last defender, but now he has calmed down.
The victory in this game is basically in the hands of Brescia, and now the boss is thinking about something else.
Since Zhang arrived in the first team, the team's results have been much more stable. Brescia's previous unbeaten streak looked impressive, but in reality most of them were draws. This was mainly due to the extensive injuries in the forward line at the time, and the arrival of Zhang Shu injected changes into Brescia's forward line.
He can play in a number of positions, as a substitute for Baggio, Baccini and Filippini, which gives Brescia, a small club with little bench depth and less room to turn around when facing injuries. At the same time, because he and Pep Guardiola share the responsibility for Baggio's organization and breakthrough, the risk of Baggio's injury has also dropped a lot.
For Brescia, the importance of Zhang Shu has become more and more prominent.
Pep Guardiola looked at Zhang Shu, who was dragged away by Tony and Appia, and had a new idea of the perfect team tactic that he had always envisioned in his heart.
The tactical system that he had in mind before would be a tactic that would be based on the players' wide range of runs and passes, but Guardiola has not come up with a good solution to deal with a team like Torino today who is shrinking in defense and giving up possession.
Zhang Shu's performance today inspired him. If there is a defender who can rely on his individual ability to break through the opponent's defensive formation when the two sides are deadlocked, and also has the ability to make a lethal pass at the end, there is a great hope of breaking the game against a team like Torino.
A player like Baggio who plays old-fashioned football in the last century is not up to his own requirements, because in the team he envisions, the ability to run in a wide range is the basis of everything, and the players in the front court must have the fitness and motivation to maintain the high pressure and counter-attack in the front court for 90 minutes. And these are qualities that Baggio does not have.
But Zhang Shu is simply the kind of player who is perfectly suited to the future he envisions.
Of course, the current Zhang Shu is still a little immature, and his physical condition has not been fully developed, but Guardiola is not in a hurry, he still has a lot of years to wait, and he also has time to slowly influence Zhang Shu's growth, until Zhang Shu grows into a player who satisfies him.
In the end, thanks to a goal and an assist from Zhang Shu, Brescia defeated Torino 3-1 at home to second-to-last in the league.
Until the last moment of the game, Zhang Shu still did not give up the idea of assisting Tony with a flower insertion, since the opponent was cheating, then he preferred to use an irrefutable assist to convince Tony.
It's just like Tony thought, it's still possible to do it once in a while, but when the Torino team members are already on guard, how can this kind of useless trick be so easy to succeed.
Zhang Shu's unchanging attempt was quickly seen, so that later the Torino players saw his thoughts when defending Zhang Shu, and whenever Zhang Shu took the ball, the Torino team players directly put the focus of defense on the time when he touched the ball with his left foot.
In the end, even Mazzoni couldn't stand it, and in the 80th minute of the game, after Zhang Shu's pass was broken again, Mazzoni directly replaced Zhang Shu with Del Nero.
"Bye-bye, Zhang, go back to the locker room and wait for me to ravage you~~" When Zhang Shu left the game, Tony, who was standing in the front court with him, gloated and waved goodbye to him.
"Zhang seems to be a little unwilling to be substituted, and it seems that an assist and a goal today did not make him satisfied." Fabio looked at Zhang Shu, who was depressed and walked off the field, and commented.
