Shortly after Pep Guardiola's goal, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Brescia players walked off the pitch with a relaxed face. Despite a bit of trouble at the start, they managed to take a two-goal lead before half-time and it looked like the game was pretty much won.

When the players from both sides walked into the players' tunnel, they unconsciously looked at the Torino players with blank expressions with eyes full of superiority.

With your dejected appearance, can you still fight back in the second half?

"Everybody's done a good job, keep it up in the second half!" In the dressing room, Mazzoni simply praised the team and gave all the time to the players to rest. He was very happy with the course of the game, and when it was difficult, the players were able to bring the game into the rhythm of Brescia by adjusting themselves on the field, and now the score is ahead, and the opponent is clearly weaker than his own team. Mazzoni didn't feel the need for him to do more.

If you can do this every game, how easy it would be for this coach of your own. He looked at the players who were doing their own thing, and thought happily.

But in the humble visiting dressing room at the Stadio Monti in Riga, it's a different story.

No one spoke, and many team members put towels on their heads and sat silently on hard stools thinking about things.

The Brescia fans' chants pierced the thin soundproof walls of the visitors' dressing rooms and into the dark and cramped dressing rooms. Due to the cramped space, the singing was repeatedly reflected by the walls, echoing in the ears of the Torino players, sounding like a disconcerting noise.

And they can't put on headphones to block out the noise, because they're still waiting for the manager to explain the tactics for the second half.

After a tactically suppressed first half, they were desperate for the manager to make changes that would change the situation on the pitch.

But they were doomed to disappointment.

"In the second half, we have to keep an eye on Zhang, don't let Zhang break through easily, and pay attention to the Brescia players who are in front of us. Also, we can't let our guard down on Pep Guardiola, and at the same time we have to step up our counter-attacks and try to equalize... ”

Torino's manager said this, but the players just wanted to roll their eyes. Who doesn't know how to do it, the problem is that you have to tell us how to do it.

But the coach is also very helpless, what can he do, no matter how the formation changes, how the tactics are adjusted, in the end, the players need to be on the field to implement these, but the strongest players of the Torino team have been sent to the field by him, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Brescia's tactics in the first half were simple, which was to let the other players run to open up defenders for Zhang Shu, and then rely on Zhang Shu's individual ability to disrupt the Torino team's defense. The Torino team can only take care of one or the other, either because there are not enough people defending Zhang Shu and are broken through, or because there are too many people defending Zhang Shu and letting others go.

This tactic is simply simple and crude, and it is completely based on the individual strength of the players to bully people. But it has to be said that it is very useful to deal with a weak team like Torino, where players are not good enough individually and can only rely on the system to defend.

Even if Torino and Italy both use chain defense, the use of Torino players and the use of Maldini Nesta Cannavaro are two different things.

In the end, even though Torino replaced a striker with a midfielder at half-time, the players came on with no hope of victory.

We are already 2-0 down, even if we can keep this score, how can we score and equalize after replacing a striker? Do you expect the opposition to score two own goals?

Lucarelli looked at his forward teammate who was standing in the center circle with him ready to kick off, and his heart was full of unwillingness.

He's in a similar situation to Tony. He has scored just one goal so far this season. The difference is that Toney has a luxurious midfield configuration to feed him with cannonballs, while in Turin, Lucarelli has spent most of his games as a "defensive striker" who harasses opposition midfielders.

Standing in the centre circle and watching his team-mates cower in the half-court only to be scored by their opponents in a variety of ways is nothing short of normal for Lucarelli.

But what can he do, he's just a striker, when the team's midfielders put all their minds on defense, when he sprints into the opposition penalty area and turns back when he counter-attacks only to find that there are only one or two people to pick him up, when he is walked by the opposing midfielders, no one can help him.

Now, when his striker partner is replaced, there are even fewer people who can support him.

But although he was unwilling, he never thought of giving up.

Because since stepping into professional football, he has become accustomed to the treatment of fighting alone.

Lucarelli is an outlier in Italian football because of his political profile as a member of the Communist Party.

Livorno, Italy's port city, is a unique red city in Italy. 80% of the city's inhabitants were loyal believers in communism, and even their mayor was a communist

Growing up in a workers' quarter, Lucarelli also inherited the political beliefs of his parents and friends, who admired Lenin, Marx and Mao, and when he played for Italy's Under-21 team, he took off his shirt after scoring a goal, which also featured the face of the Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara.

This act of making his political beliefs public has caused Lucarelli to be implicitly ostracized. The political climate in Italy is generally more right-leaning, and Italian Prime Minister and AC Milan President Silvio Berlusconi is the leader of the Italian Right* Alliance.

There were also many in the team who saw Lucarelli as a dangerous communist lunatic. Even every time he went with the team to play against a far-right team like Lazio, he was threatened by the fans.

But Lucarelli never had the idea of changing his own or others' political beliefs, he just played silently, openly and courageously, defending his beliefs and opinions, but never imposing them on others, leaving all misunderstandings and isolation behind.

Tenacity, perseverance, like the heroes of the revolutionary stories he has heard, will not give up and continue to fight, even if it is only himself.

Lucarelli continued to run tirelessly up front, and although he was overwhelmed by the Brescia players, he didn't give up.

After the start of the second half, Brescia slowed down the pace of the game under Pep Guardiola.

They are the leading side, and it is not them who should be anxious at this time.

If the Torino team doesn't press up, Brescia's attitude is to stay like this until the end of the game, but if the Torino team really presses in an all-round way, Guardiola will definitely not mind letting the Torino team also taste the taste of defensive counterattack.

There was still a glimmer of hope for the Turin players, in case Brescia wanted a big win in front of the home fans? As long as we hold on, when the time is running out, Brescia will definitely get more and more impatient, and then we will take another opportunity to steal one, and this game will have to be played.

So at the beginning, they still stuck to the manager's half-time arrangement, carefully guarding against Brescia's surprise attack. But when they watched Pep Guardiola and his team-mates fall in the back for five minutes, they were finally sure.

Brescia really wasn't going to touch their bucket formation again.

Even if Zhang Shu is still capable of helping Brescia tear up the gap, Guardiola does not intend to attack in such a laborious way again. If you can solve the problem with a defensive counterattack, why do you have to fight a positional battle with the opponent.

They just passed the ball back and forth in the backfield, waiting for the Torino players to come up.

The Brescia fans in the stands did not put the pressure on the team as much as Torino would have liked, singing and dancing in the stands to celebrate the victory in advance. The fans in the North Stand even counted the players in the stands for Brescia who were down.

“21，22。。。 35，36。。。 47，48，49，50！！！ When Brescia made 50 passes, the stands erupted in cheers. They didn't score, but fans just loved watching their teams play with their opponents.

But as the one being toyed with, Lucarelli didn't feel good at all.

However, he did not stop running, and the Brescia players were a little slow to get out of the way when they returned to the pass on a couple of occasions, and he almost grabbed it.

It's just a little bit, a little bit, maybe it'll be successful next time?

With 60 minutes into the game, Brescia still had a firm grip on the field and the score.

Appia received a pass from a team-mate in the middle and it was a game that was laid back and Torino didn't have much of a decent attack, and as a defensive midfielder, he had little to do other than fall to his feet with his team-mates.

Even inverted balls rarely reach his feet, and most of the time his team-mates choose to hand them over to Pep Guardiola, who is also a central midfielder.

He looked up at the front of the court and there were no good chances, so he kicked the ball back to Martinez on the side.

As soon as the ball came out, he knew that the ball had been passed wide. His long passing skills have not been very good, and sure enough, the ball flew over Martinez's head and out of the touchline.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry." He raised a hand and shouted to Martinez.

"It's okay, we're all used to it." Martinez responded with a smile.

It's just a throw-in, and neither of them thinks it's a big deal.

The moment Lucarelli saw the ball fly off the sideline, he immediately changed his direction, twisted his body and ran towards the Brescia penalty area.

The Brescia players were still laughing at Appian's lame long balls, but Torino's midfielder Somerse had already made a conscious run out of bounds.

As a player who has been involved in Serie B and Serie A relegation teams for a long time, Somese's quality is not impressive, but he also has his own specialty, which is a strong throw-in.

After passing the ball from Rigamonti's little caddy, Somese turned to look at the pitch, where the Brescia players were still smiling and teasing each other, perhaps because they felt that the Torino team had not yet come up to receive the throw-in, so they seemed to be relaxed.

And Lucarelli has burst into the Brescia penalty area.

So Somese no longer hesitated, started to run directly from the sidelines, and then used his waist and abdomen to throw the football out of the penalty area.

"Wow!" The stadium erupted in the exclamations of the fans, and the ball flew like a missile from the sideline towards the Brescia penalty area.

The Brescia defenders looked at the football flying over their heads in amazement, and then they turned to see that Lucarelli had appeared behind them at some point.

Because Brescia has been pressing Torino before, the position of the back line is pressed very high, and there is no offside in the throw-in, so the unguarded Lucarelli does not have to worry about offside at all.

They turned and chased back as if they had just woken up from a dream, and goalkeeper Sereni also made a decisive attack.

But Lucarelli was quicker than they did, stopping the ball flying from behind him near the penalty spot and then firing a decisive shot from the halfway point of Sereni's attack.

It wasn't a powerful volley, it was a lob.

The ball flew high above Sereni's hand, which was desperately jumping, and then began to fall slowly, finally slowly but surely into the goal.

"Oh oh oh oh oh! Turin scored! Simple and efficient counterattack! They relied on the cooperation of only two players to equalize! ”

Fabio had seen the ball fly off the sideline, so he buried his head in the information, but when he looked up, he saw Lucarelli's shot.

He could only cover up his mistake with a series of exclamations.

After the goal, Lucarelli made his trademark salute and celebration, which is a bit like Na Trei, except that the palms of his hands are not folded together with five fingers like Na Trei, but are clenched into a fist. The meaning is also diametrically opposed to the Na * Rite, which can be regarded as the Italian "communist rite".

Luckily, most of the Brescia fans are also working-class, and if it were Lazio fans, Lucarelli's celebration would have caused a fan riot.

But it's not that no one is dissatisfied, "Damn, damn communists!" Tony, who was still in the Torino half, scolded indignantly and spat on the ground.

"Hey! How to speak! Zhang Shu, who was standing next to him, protested, "Are you dissatisfied with me, a member of the Communist Youth League?" ”

Tony then remembered that there was a Zhang Shu from Red China standing next to him.

"Uh... I'm sorry Zhang, I didn't mean you... He explained, slightly embarrassed. I'm just a little disappointed with the goal conceded. ”

"Forget it, forget it." Zhang Shu waved his hand, he knew that Tony's words were not aimed at him. "By the way, that No. 9 is actually a member of the Communist Party?"

In distant Italy, there are actually Communists, still on the football field. This made Zhang Shu feel strange and inexplicably kind.

What better way to show respect to the other side than to score a goal?

"I'm going to show him the power of the communist successor!" Zhang Shu said, smiling excitedly.
