Brescia's form looks very good, but for Zhang Shu, it is not without bad news. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

With Tony, Tare, and Del Nero returning from injury, the competition on the front line suddenly became fierce. With everyone healthy, Baggio and Toni are the main force that Ray can't beat, and Del Neiro and Tare's each correspond to a substitute position, Zhang Shu can only be ranked last at the beginning, after two excellent performances on the bench, he can now squeeze out Del Nero's first substitute position, but unless against a team like Milan that needs special tactics, he can't replace the role of Toney and Tare's tactical center.

Leaving him and Baggio up front is largely a no-brainer and Mazzoni isn't going to pin his hopes on a fantastic goal like the one he did in Milan last time.

But it was a waste to let Zhang Shu sit on the bench. Zhang Shu has already shown his quality in Serie A, with a goal and an assist, and a second time as a substitute for longer than many starters. Mazzoni's original season-long development plan took him just one week to far outgrow.

Zhang Shu proved with his performance that he has a big heart, and Mazzoni's careful care is not necessary.

So now, the troubles of happiness have found the old coach of Brescia, where should he go to find a place for Zhang Shu.

.

In fact, during the entire winter break, Mazzoni was already worried about this problem. Baggio certainly cannot be replaced, and in this star-studded Brescia team, Baggio's role on the pitch is irreplaceable. Brescia needs his experience, young players see him as the backbone of the team, and even he has some influence on the referees on the pitch. He left too much of a mark on this Brescia team, just as Totti was to Roma, Piero was to Juventus, Maldini was to Milan and Zanetti was to Inter Milan, as the banner of the team, he must be played as long as he is healthy.

And the position of the tactical center forward cannot be moved, which is an important part of the tactics of the Brescia team, without this tactical fulcrum, Brescia's attack will be like a house without a foundation. Whether it is Baggio or Zhang Shu, their bodies cannot support them to fight hand-to-hand with those Serie A central defenders. And if the front court can't hold the ball, the team is in danger of being hit on the counter-attack. And in Serie A, the success rate of counter-attacks is quite high.

Speaking of Serie A, there is a very interesting place, as a league known for defense, there is actually no team that uses defensive counterattacks as a common tactic, whether it is Milan, Juventus and other giants, or Brescia, Atalanta such as relegation teams, they may contribute a lot of beautiful counter-attacking goals, but no one thinks they are the main defensive team. Milan's Andriy Shevchenko and Inzaghi are combined with four No.10s in midfield to be full of firepower, and Brescia is also a clear strong front and back.

This is probably because the counter-attacking has been integrated into the blood of the Italian team, they can usually play positional battles with normal tactics, and they can seamlessly switch to counter-attacking mode at any time after any successful defense, so there is no need to deliberately emphasize the team's defensive counter-attack in a given game.

Since neither of the two striker positions can be moved, Mazzoni has only two options, either to change the formation to play the front three, or let Zhang Shu switch positions and let him try to play the left and right forward positions.

Mazzoni first ruled out the possibility of a change of formation. Changing the team's formation is not a simple matter, almost all offensive and defensive tactics are designed based on the formation, and almost all the team's tactics will have to be overturned and restarted, and it will definitely be too late to rely on the two-week training camp during the winter break. Maybe it's okay to think about it after this season, but not right now.

So, now there's only one last way left.

.

But Mazzoni didn't expect that his proposal would be rejected.

"Why?" The old coach was a little angry, and he tried his best, just so that Zhang Shu could get more opportunities to practice in the game, and other players couldn't ask for it, but this kid was unwilling.

"I don't like it." Zhang Shu took it for granted. 'I don't like to play as a wing-back, I like to play as a striker and face the goal in the middle.

"It's not as easy as making decisions on the pitch based on your own preferences! And what about those defenders of ours? Do they just like to defend? Mazzoni said sternly. Mazzoni was actually a strict coach when he was younger, and when he was in Rome, Totti was also a rebellious person, but he had a lot of respect for Mazzoni Totti who discovered him, and he always listened humbly to Mazzoni's advice to him.

If Zhang Shu can give some reasons from a technical point of view, he is not an unreasonable person and will not force Zhang Shu to go to the side, but Zhang Shu just doesn't like it, so he gives up the opportunity he gave him, which makes Lao Shuai completely angry.

"Yes, Viviano likes to defend." Zhang Shu also added fuel to the fire. "I just play to have fun, and if I don't play happy, I'd rather be a substitute."

"You!"

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Baggio saw that something was wrong, so he walked over. "Daddy, don't be angry, what's going on?"

"This kid, I said let him try to play on the wing and have more chances to play, but he actually said that he didn't like it and wouldn't go!" Mazzoni pointed at Zhang Shu and said.

Baggio didn't want Zhang Shu to have a conflict with the coach, on one side was his extremely optimistic successor, and on the other side was the most pleasant coach he had ever worked with, he could only comfort on both sides.

"Okay, dad, don't be angry, young players like to play in the way they are used to, you see I didn't defend when I was young, I didn't change what those coaches said about me, Zhang is only sixteen years old, and he is still a child, don't be angry with him, just wait for two years."

After saying this to Mazzoni, Baggio turned to Zhang Shu again. "Go and apologize to the coach."

"Dad, don't be angry," Zhang Shu leaned up with a hippie smile, "You see I'm not very good at physical fitness now, playing fullback is equivalent to one less person when I don't return to defend the team, and if I can't run up the offense when I return to defense, it's equivalent to one less person, so you see, anyway, I don't have the physical fitness to start, so let me be Robbie as a substitute?" ”

After listening to Zhang Shu's explanation, Mazoni's anger also disappeared by half, Zhang Shu was not simply willful, he was quite reasonable.

"Then you won't have many chances to play in the future, so don't cry." Mazzoni still kept a straight face and pretended to threaten. He still wanted to scare Zhang Shu, lest this kid be really lawless.

But Zhang Shu's two-skinned face will not be frightened, "Thank you, Dad!" He shouted happily as he prepared to run back to the training ground

Baggio kicked him in the ass next to him, "No manners, call the coach!" ”

"And say others, you don't call me a nickname." Looking at Zhang Shu, who was jumping and running away, Mazzoni smiled and scolded Baggio. "Bring more Zhang, his age is really worrying."

"It's fine, it'll be fine in two years," Baggio said.

Mazzoni glared at Baggio, "In two years, he will only be eighteen or nineteen years old, how mature will he be." ”

"No, I mean, you'll get used to it in two years." Baggio smirked and ran away.
