Chapter 63: Getting Better
Agliadei was carried off the field on a stretcher with a frustrated face, and the team doctor trotted all the way back to the sideline to help him with emergency treatment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"How's Federico doing?" Mazzoni asked, standing aside.
"I've already iced him with ice packs, but it's best to have him go to the hospital for a detailed check-up when we get back to Brescia. Sprains of this magnitude have the possibility of linear fractures of the ankle. ”
Since it was the goalkeeper who was injured, the game had to be suspended and could not be resumed until Brescia made a substitution. The camera on the sidelines also locked the lens on the sidelines at this time, and Viviano in the picture was hurrying to warm up.
"Haha! Emiliano is coming! Although Agriadi's injury was a regrettable event, when they saw this scene, the Turio family immediately let out a burst of cheers.
"Uhhh Zhang Shu's expression was a little embarrassed, he just said that Viviano had no chance to play, but who knew that Mazzoni actually gave up Castellazzi sitting on the bench and chose Viviano, who had no first-team experience.
However, this embarrassment immediately turned into regret, knowing that Viviano would have a chance to play in this game, he would definitely follow him to Modena. It's a shame that VVI watched his first show while sitting in front of the TV.
If you go to the away stadium by yourself, you may be able to suppress the opponent's attack better, and Viviano's goal will be safer.
In the first half, Agriadi played well, and although the team did not take the lead, they did not concede a goal. Viviano rushed into battle, and Zhang Shu was a little worried about his performance.
"I finally have a chance, Vivi, don't drop the chain at this time!" He whispered a word, pushed his plate aside, and focused on the TV, ready to see what his friend was doing next.
.
Brescia have replaced their third goalkeeper, Academy born Emiliano Viviano. This is a young player who has just turned 18 years old. "Fabio took the information and introduced the Brescia goalkeeper to the audience." The youngster was favored by a number of teams before he chose Brescia. He has been selected for the Italian youth team and is Italy's Under-20 goalkeeper and, if nothing else, will represent Italy at the World Youth Championships in the Netherlands next year. ”
'However, Viviano has yet to feature in Serie A and, although he is seen as a precocious player, he is still a bit immature, having played for Brescia's youth team before breaking into the first team this season as the team's third goalkeeper.
I have to say that Fabio's pre-match preparation is still very meticulous, even young players like Viviano have not let go.
'It was his first game for Brescia's first team and I don't know if he will be able to withstand the pressure. Fabio said as he looked at Viviano, who was warming up in the warm-up area.
At the urging of the referee, Viviano had little time to warm up, and he quickly stood on the sidelines and was ready to play.
As soon as the fourth referee's substitution card was raised, he couldn't wait to rush into the field - Agliardi had already been carried down, and he didn't have to wait for his teammates to leave the field of play before entering. His heart was now full of excitement, and there was no pressure at all as Fabio had spoken.
Stage fright? There is no such emotion in his personality.
Every goalkeeper has a dream of becoming famous in his heart, which is determined by the characteristics of the goalkeeper's position, and the main goalkeeper of any team is the most stable person in the team, generally speaking, there are no major mistakes or injuries, and they are rarely replaced in the middle of the season.
So for those goalkeepers who are not the main players, waiting for the opportunity has become the first thing they need to learn after choosing this position.
And opportunities are rare, maybe once or twice a season, whether to succeed in the position or continue to return to the bench and wait for the next opportunity, maybe it depends on such a short game or even dozens of minutes to decide.
Therefore, no goalkeeper is a player who is afraid of a challenge, and the goalkeepers who are not tenacious enough have long been eliminated in the brutal competition at all levels.
After coming on the field, Viviano high-fived his teammates all the way to his position, he looked at the left and right posts, and stood in the middle of the goal. For the rest of the day, this was the stage for his performance.
"Come on!" He cheered himself up. For almost a decade since he started playing, the two posts have been his most loyal comrades, and the area in front of the goal is the most familiar place for him, even away from home.
.
"Viviano is about to face a challenge when he comes on, so let's see how he goes."
Agriadi knocked Modena's header off the line before he was injured, so when the game resumes, Modena will continue to take corners.
Modena's midfielder Milaneto stood by the corner flag and the box was packed with players from both sides, "Push them out!" "The goalkeeper who had just come on was commanding his teammates loudly, and although he didn't look very old, he was also presentable.
I just don't know if his strength is as convincing as his voice?
Milaneto raised his right arm to tell his team-mate that he was going to send the ball back, and after a two-step run, he kicked the ball out with a bang.
The ball flew towards the penalty area against the baseline, and it looked like it would land quite close to the goal, but it quickly drew an arc in mid-air and flew in the direction of the small penalty area.
"I'm coming!" Almost without hesitation, Viviano quickly judged where the ball would land, ran sideways for two steps, and then jumped high to catch the ball directly in the air.
However, the arc of the football made his judgment a little off, and the short warm-up time was not enough to make his body fully into the state. After jumping up, Viviano realized that it seemed a little difficult to get the ball.
"Oops, mistaken."
Seeing that he couldn't get the football, for the sake of safety, he could only give up the idea of grabbing the football directly, turned his hands into fists, and forcefully knocked the football out of the penalty area.
"Danger!" Fabio cried out.
In a hurry, Viviano failed to choose the direction of his shot, and the ball flew to the top of the penalty area, where another Modena midfielder, Aleretti, had already met the ball with a volley.
Although Matuzallen met him in hopes of stopping a shot, Aleretti scrambled to shoot the ball before Matuzallen could pounce.
The ball was well eaten by Aleretti, and the ball whistled straight to the near post.
Viviano had just landed, and by the time the ball was out of sight, he was left with little time to react when the ball came out of the crowd.
In a hurry, he almost subconsciously made a wave of his hand, "Smack!" The soccer ball hit his dancing arm, bounced high and flew off the crossbar.
"Oooo Nice volley. Fabio shouted louder, "It's a pity that Brescia's young goalkeeper Viviano blocked Aleretti's shot. ”
"Viviano was a little reckless when he attacked, the ball didn't hold it, and he didn't hit it to a safe place when he hit it, giving Modena a second chance to attack. However, he quickly made up for it and saved his opponent's long-range shot. ”
"It seems that Viviano is still a little uncomfortable with the game, and I hope he will adjust his condition as soon as possible and devote himself to the game."
.
"Well done!" "Flutter beautifully!" "Come on!"
Despite a small mistake, the Brescia players were not shy about compliments, and they came up to pat them on the shoulder or give them high-fives to encourage the junior who made his debut.
But Viviano didn't bother to respond to his teammates at this time, and after blocking the ball, he finally exhaled the breath he was holding in his lungs. The impact of his arm being hit by the soccer ball just now caused him to sit backwards, and at this time he sat on the ground, although his face was expressionless, but in fact he had palpitations.
"Luckily, fortunately." He secretly rejoiced in his heart. It can only be said that the ball was blocked just now, his nearly two-meter arm span helped him a lot, and fortunately, the opponent chose a close point when shooting, if the shot was at the far post, even if his arm was doubled, it would be useless.
"If you don't die, there will be a blessing, and then you don't want to score!"
With a hard clap of his hands, he got up from the ground, ready for another corner.
.
"I... It scared me. I almost conceded a goal! In the dining room of Turio's house, Zhang Shu was about to blurt out the phrase "", but suddenly remembered that Mr. and Mrs. Gallo were still around, so he quickly changed his mouth. "What is VV doing! I ran out and didn't get the ball. Fortunately, the other side was also stupid, and he didn't hit half of the empty door, and kicked at Vivi. ”
"Emiliano hasn't gotten into the groove yet. I think he'll be okay next. ”
Compared with Zhang Shu's high requirements, Turio seems to have much confidence in Viviano, anyway, as long as he doesn't concede the ball, he doesn't think the small mistake before is not a big problem.
Viviano also seemed to be getting used to the rhythm of the first-team game after defending one of the opposition's attacks, and he was much better at defending the second corner, and he took the ball straight into the air in the face of Milaneto's repeated corner with an inside curl to the penalty spot.
In the next few offensive and defensive games, he also showed a very solid performance.
This kind of performance also relieved Zhang Shu and Tulio's family in front of the TV.
"That's the Vivi I know, just kick it like this!" After shouting, Zhang Shu rolled up a ball of pasta with a fork and put it into his mouth, and at this time he finally had the leisure to continue enjoying Madame Gallo's food.
.
Perhaps seeing Brescia's new goalkeeper, Modena increased the number of long-range shots in the attack in the following games, hoping to increase the probability of scoring goals by increasing the number of shots.
Who knew that this was exactly what Viviano was doing.
Like Agriadi, he also wants more opportunities to impress the coaching staff. It's unlikely, but what if it impresses Mazzoni?
Didn't Zhang also impress the coaching staff in one game, and then there were more and more opportunities, and finally became the main force? Why can't you do it yourself?
"You're more than capable of competing with them." He has always remembered what Zhang Shu said at the beginning, since coming to the first team, Viviano found that Zhang Shuzhen did not lie to himself, in the usual training, he felt that his strength was indeed not much different from the other two goalkeepers. Several people have their own strengths, Castellazzi is good at his foot skills and attack, and has a large range of control, and in Brescia's current tactical system, a goalkeeper like Agriadi who is good at attacking and passing the ball at his feet is needed to compensate for the overall formation pressing forward and back. But his goal-line skills are not very consistent, and he often makes mistakes when saving opponents' shots, which is precisely his strength. As for the injured Agriadi, his strength lies in balance, and although all the skills are not the best, there are no obvious shortcomings.
So Modena opted to increase long-range shots, which is exactly what Viviano is best at dealing with.
Long-range shots leave a longer reaction time for the goalkeeper, who is generally able to make a complete save. And as long as you pounce out, it looks like the movements are stretched and beautiful enough, which can leave a deep impact on the audience and the coach.
"Come again, come again~"
Viviano repeatedly made high interceptions to keep Modena's shot out. And these successful saves, in turn, gave him more confidence and he was getting better and better.
In the 34th minute of the second half, Modena won a well-placed free-kick from 27 yards, Milaneto opted for a direct shot, and his free-kick went straight to the far end of the goal, but the ball just went over the wall and Viviano flew out like an eagle.
This time, the shot that went straight to the dead corner was directly caught by Viviano. The Modena striker, who had been lurking in the box to make a follow-up shot, could only go home in a huff.
.
"This ball is a beautiful pounce!"
On the bench on the sidelines, coaches were also discussing Viviano's performance.
'Emiliano's goal-line skills have always been his strength. Igor said, "Even he still seems a little reckless in his attack, which is his old problem." There are a few balls that are not handled mature enough. ”
"Hehehehe, you are too demanding of him, he is still only an 18-year-old young player, it is normal to be immature." As for Igor's evaluation, Mazzoni is very open-minded. "You can't treat the young lads like each other."
Igor shrugged his shoulders, Zhang Shu's appearance really raised his horizons, he was used to the surprise that Zhang brought him, and now the youth team, and even those "young geniuses" and "hope stars" in other teams looked a little mediocre in his eyes. "In the case of the loss of Agriadi, I would recommend that he gain some experience in the unimportant games first."
"Well, leave it to him for this season's Coppa Italia. Unimportant leagues are also fine. Mazzoni nodded.
Agliadei didn't know how long he had to rest, and Mazzoni needed someone to put pressure on Castellazzi.
Now his mood is not so bad, although he lost an Agliadei in this game, but to gain a Viviano is also a loss of the East.
