Chapter 21: Turio without talent
Trailing by three goals in the first half, this result made Shalanlitan's players lose their fighting spirit. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info They know very well what they are capable of, and when they are down by one goal they can still have a little hope of the game, and two goals down means that they have been sentenced to death. When Turio scored the third goal, the only point left for their efforts was not to let the game turn into a slaughter.
This fact has made many players lose their motivation to work hard. Working desperately just to keep the score of 0:3 behind, anyone will feel discouraged.
Fortunately, the referee quickly blew the whistle for the end of the first half. The arrival of the break saved Shalanlitana's precarious defence. If the first half had lasted five minutes, they might have conceded another goal.
----------------------------
At half-time, Savile didn't say much. The team has three goals in their hands so far, and the quality of the opposition is completely unable to pose any threat to the team's backline. In fact, Saville is still desperate for the opposition to press out and attack, after all, the players at the back should also have a chance to show in front of the first-team manager.
Viviano wasn't sitting on a stool, he was standing in the middle of the locker room playing with the ball. He was probably the most idle player in the Brescia team throughout the first half. Fortunately, it was still autumn and the weather was not too cold, otherwise he would have gone back to take a hot shower at halftime to keep himself warm.
"Turio, I scored two goals today, and you'll have to treat me to dinner in the evening." After playing for a while, the bored Viviano squeezed into the middle of Turio and Zhang Shu.
"Not tonight, Turio told me to invite me to his house for dinner today." Zhang Shu immediately spoke out to help Turio relieve the siege, but he was nostalgic for Madame Gallo's craftsmanship, and he was determined not to let Viviano spoil his good deeds.
Turio's blushing face from the excitement of the goal has not subsided, "You can also come with Zhang, Emiliano. He happily extended an invitation to Viviano.
"Oooh~~ Lady Gallo's pasta! I just like this, that's it! ā
"Hey! You're welcome! Zhang Shu was shocked by Viviano.
Viviano had already jumped out of the way, ignoring Zhang Shu's protests from the sidelines.
-----------------------------
After the start of the second half, Shalan Litana no longer practiced man-to-man defense against Zhang Shu, but instead piled everyone up in the penalty area, increasing the defensive intensity against other players.
This is the youth team game, there will always be some talents beyond their age, and forcing their players to continue to fight against such talents can only hit the confidence of young players in vain. When the tide is turning, the best thing to do is not to have players defending him.
The future of the players is more important than the outcome of a game.
Zhang Shu, who was no longer being targeted, became more and more relaxed, and in the 53rd and 65th minutes of the game, he scored two more goals.
When Zhang Shu completed his hat-trick, the entire St. Philip Stadium roared with joy. Reporters on the sidelines have already guessed who Mazzoni is coming for today. Now they just want to know who this Chinese person they have never seen before is.
On 70 minutes, Xavile will replace Zhang Shu with a substitute striker.
Savile believes that Zhang Shu has fully demonstrated his ability to Mazzoni. According to Cosimo's data, Zhang Shu's physical fitness has almost reached the point of exhaustion, in order not to expose Zhang Shu's shortcomings, Saville replaced him in advance, and let Zhang Shu accept the applause of the fans alone.
------------------------------
When Zhang Shu left the field, the fans' attention no longer stayed on the field. They stood in the stands and gave a deafening shout for Zhang Shu.
With two assists and a hat-trick in a game, it doesn't get much better than that. Fans know that the youngster has a bright future ahead of him, and it may not be long before he sees him in action in the first team.
Of course, the reporters also knew this clearly, and when they saw that Zhang Shu had completed the substitution ceremony, the reporters surrounded him like ants with sugar cubes.
"Hey there, congratulations on completing an unbeatable race, I'm a reporter for Brescia.com, can you introduce yourself to us?"
"Are you Japanese or Korean?"
'Do you know that the first team manager came to watch the game today? Did Mr. Mazzoni come to see you? ā
In the face of the crowd swarming, Zhang Shusaobao's heart had already smiled, but his face was still calm and unfazed, quite a general. He smiled at the camera, come on, come interview me! No matter how long you ask, I've got you covered!
With so many people's questions, who should answer them first? The chatter of the reporters echoed in his ears, and he could not fully hear a question without paying attention. Zhang Shu feels that he is now like the emperor of ancient times, whose sign should he turn over tonight, oops, it is really a happy distress.
However, Prime Minister Marcello bluntly deprived him of the right to choose a concubine. "Your Majesty, you should go to the imperial study to study all night tonight."
He walked over and blocked Zhang Shu behind him. "I'm sorry, Zhang needs to go back to the locker room to take a shower now, if you have any questions, you can wait until after the game is over."
After saying this, Marcello no longer paid attention to the questions kept being asked by reporters, he separated the crowd, and pushed Zhang Shu towards the training building without looking back.
Farewell, concubines, you must wait for me!
--------------------------------
"Well, really a good player." Seeing that Zhang Shu was replaced, Mazzoni closed his notebook, which was densely filled with words about Zhang Shu. "He reminds me of Robbie when I was younger."
"yes, and he wasn't hurt when Robbie." Igor added on the sidelines that he was very proud to sign such a talent for free for the club.
Robert Baggio is a rare purely technical player in football. His speed is not fast, and his passing depends on the change of pace. He doesn't have much power, his shots are always tricky angles, his body is not strong, and he rarely plays physical confrontations with defenders. And the reason for all this is his injury when he was 17 years old.
When Baggio was 17 years old, he suffered a huge knee injury and finally had the meniscus of his right leg removed, and the doctors made a hole in his bone, passed the ligament through the hole and fixed it, and when the operation was completed, the doctors gave Baggio a total of 220 stitches.
In an interview, Baggio said: "Meniscus? This kind of thing was gone when I was 17 years old. I've been playing with one and a half legs all along. ā
Baggio has become one of Italy's greatest No.10s in all history with his fighting spirit and tenacity, and such a player has to be respected, but it also makes one wonder what a healthy Baggio would have been without that major injury at the age of 17.
And now, 16-year-old Zhang Shu has made 66-year-old Mazzoni realize that he may be able to witness such a possibility.
---------------------------------
Seeing that the Asian on the other side was finally substituted, the players of Shalan Litanna breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, it's over. Next, everyone tacitly consumed more than 20 minutes to end this nightmare game.
However, the Brescia players were not willing to end the game like this. Mazzoni in the stands will surely be impressed by Zhang Shu, but what about us! Zhang Shu is not the only one who wants to go to the first team!
Thomas took on the responsibility of organising the offense after Zhang Shu's departure, and he was not the type of player who could make beautiful lethal passes, but more often his studio linked up the front and back of the court to feed ammunition to Zhang Shu behind Turio. When Zhang Shu and the defenders on the left and right sides took the ball, they stepped forward to receive the ball, and dispatched the ball to another direction of attack after receiving the ball.
So when Zhang Shu was not there, looking at the dense crowd in the Shalan Litanna penalty area, he couldn't see any threatening passing routes at all. In the end, under the pressure of the opponent's midfielder, he could only kick the ball into the penalty area casually.
Turio continued to run up front, he had already scored two goals in this game, and statistically he was already the best performer in the team except for Zhang Shu, who scored a hat-trick.
However, Turio knew that these two goals would only see Zhang Shunanny-style assists in the eyes of the coach, and as for the goals, he would not make any impression on Mazzoni. Zhang Shu's passing is so good, just change anyone to catch the ball in that position and kick it in.
All the while, Tulio's position on the team has been more of a blue-collar one. After leaving his body and having nothing, he can only do the tiring and dirty work. In the attack, Zhang Shu pulled the gap behind him, and the long pass of his teammates confronted the opponent's defender, grabbed the first drop point for Zhang Shu, and returned to his own penalty area to fight for the header when defending the corner kick, and always stood on the outermost side when defending the free kick, ready to block the opponent's shot with his face at any time.
From the Under-13s, Under-15s, Under-17s, Turio has always been like this, he is not the best player in the team, and the coaches have always put him in a regular position just because the team needs a big man to be at the front of the team's tactics.
Maybe when he turns 20, the Under-19 coach will tell him, "Sorry, you can't adapt to professional football, you better get a job." ā
I don't accept such a future!
Looking at the ball flying diagonally from behind, Turio exerted his strength at his feet and ran towards the point where the ball landed.
In order to compete with the opponent's defenders to grab the position, I will train myself every day after I go home, and I also pull Augusto to do confrontation training, I have done so much not to be eliminated by professional football!
I also want to bring victory to the team on my own!
Turio jumped up against the football in the air, Thomas's long pass was high and floating, and the speed of flight was very slow, and the defender of Sharan Ritana had already taken a position at the landing point of the football, so it was not difficult to clear the ball.
However, when he jumped up, he felt a dark shadow suddenly envelop his head.
Turio suddenly flew out from behind him, and judging by the people next to him, Turio was half a body taller than his opponent, whose head had just reached Turio's lower abdomen.
In Turio's eyes, only football remained at this time. He leaned forward hard and finally got his hands on the ball before his opponent.
"Bang!" The ball smashed on Turio's forehead, changed direction and flew into the goal against the underside of the crossbar. The goalkeeper of Shalan Litanna just subconsciously waved his hand and froze in place. The raised hands were more like a gesture of surrender to Tulio.
After the goal, Turio flipped over the shoulders of the opposition defenders and slammed his head and feet on the grass.
