Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Resurrected Shunsuke Nakamura

"Opportunity! Toni shoots!! The ball went in!! Huang *Jian* Xiang shouted. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

“goooooooooooooooooal! Tony! Luca Toney! Towards the end of the first half of the game! Luca Toney breaks the deadlock for Brescia! ”

After the goal, Tony ran to Zhang Shu, although this goal was not Zhang Shu's assist from a technical point of view, but anyone could see that Zhang Shu's miss was like an assist.

Toney has not scored many goals this season due to injuries. To be able to open the scoring for Brescia, he certainly wants to thank Zhang Shu.

As soon as he saw Tony running towards him, Zhang Shu turned around and fled directly to his own half.

He hasn't forgotten the pain of being pressed at the bottom by his teammates, especially a tall and strong man like Tony, who likes this the most, and he has been psychologically shadowed by Tony.

Zhang Shu escaped the celebration of his teammates, but the other Brescia players were not as "cold" as him.

They rushed to Tony's side and hugged him.

Seeing that Tony had been dragged down by other teammates, Zhang Shu finally let go of his worries, he turned a corner and ran to the team's bench. Facing the substitutes with their arms outstretched in front of him, he plunged headlong into the crowd.

"Leak beautifully! Sheet. They hugged Zhang Shu excitedly. Besieging the opponent for the whole game, if the opponent goes into the break with a score of 0:0, it must be a huge boost to the morale of Reggina. Now they don't have to worry about that anymore.

While the Brescia players were celebrating wildly, Reggina goalkeeper Berardife looked helpless, picking up the ball from the net with his head down and kicking it into the midfield.

Then he crossed his waist and looked depressedly at Zhang Shu, who was hugging his teammates on the bench.

He felt he was in good shape in the first half, making a left and right block to keep Regina in the face of Brescia's attack. A few difficult saves, in turn, boosted his self-confidence, and he got better and better in this mentality.

He thought the virtuous cycle would continue until the end of the game. As a result, this good hope was interrupted by such a goal.

When Toney took a shot, he had just turned around in front of the post and he didn't even have a chance to save in the face of the goal.

But can you not go to the front point? If you don't block the angle of the front point, Zhang Shu can shoot directly.

Looking back on the whole process of conceding the goal, Berardife found that no matter what he did, it seemed that he could not avoid it. This feeling of powerlessness made him even more depressed.

By the time Brescia finally finished their celebrations, the time for the first half was almost up.

On the way back to the dressing room, the Brescia players were smiling, in stark contrast to the seriousness of the Reggina players.

'In the first half, Brescia pressed Reggina at both ends of the pitch and if Reggina can't make changes at half-time, I think Brescia should have won this game. Director Zhang commented.

Shunsuke Nakamura, the heart of Regina's midfield, was heavily targeted by Brescia and his performance was a bit dull in this game. The East Asian derby, which was hyped by the media before the game, should have a great advantage from the first half. Huang Jianxiang added. He is very happy that Zhang Shu can suppress the RB players in terms of performance. Everyone is Chinese, and no one wants to be compared to RB people.

After a fifteen-minute break, the second half of the game began quickly.

There have been no changes to the line-ups of both teams. Brescia dominated the first half and they didn't need to make any changes. Regina, on the other hand, is because the gap between the strength of their bench and the main squad is too big, they have sent their best players on the field, and if they want to equalize, they can only pin their hopes on them.

However, although no changes could be made to the lineup, as the game progressed, people still noticed that Reggina made tactical tweaks.

Their two wing-backs began to move closer to the middle, providing reinforcements to Shunsuke Nakamura and adding to the break in front of the Brescia penalty area.

Brescia's two midfielders today are a combination of Appia and Matuzaren, and unlike Pep Guardiola, Matuzallen also has good defensive qualities. In the first half, he and Appia teamed up to freeze Shunsuke Nakamura to death.

But now in the face of the impact of Reggina's three, relying only on two backs looks a little thin. Of Brescia's two full-backs, Zhang Shu has never been in the habit of defending, only Bacchini will come to assist them in the middle from time to time, and Reggina's attack will inevitably regain its vitality.

Maybe Appiah can make Nakamura disappear from the pitch when he goes one-on-one, but when it's three-on-three, Nakamura can get away from the Ghanaian's pressing through the pass and run with his teammates. In such a team offense and defense, there is a natural disadvantage on the defensive side against the attacker.

"Shunsuke Nakamura's performance has recovered." Director Zhang commented. 'In the first half he was too far away from his team-mates to get the ball to his team-mates under Appia's pressure, and in the second half Regina sent the two wing-backs to the middle, and Nakamura could pass the ball quickly after getting the ball. You see, like this"

The TV screen shows Shunsuke Nakamura facing a teammate's soccer ball from the back and blocking Appia's path with his back, but Appia sticks to him in the back, making it impossible for him to turn.

But Nakamura didn't stop the ball and distributed it directly to his teammates next to him. Then he turned and cut forward, and his team-mate quickly passed the ball back, and through this little cooperation with his team-mate, he can now dribble head-on to the goal.

"With two more points, it will be much easier for Nakamura to get rid of Appia." Director Zhang concluded.

Shunsuke Nakamura burst into the Brescia penalty area with the ball, and Apia quickly caught up with him, and before being tapped by Apia, Nakamura again passed the ball to teammate Mamed on the right.

Mamed dribbled forward a few more metres and Matuzaren quickly met him. "Beep~!" In the middle of the entanglement, Mamed fell to the ground, and the referee decisively awarded a foul on Brescia.

"I just leaned lightly on him!" Matuzallen spread his hands with an innocent face. "He's a fake!"

"I can see very clearly, you pulled the opponent's jersey." The referee said to him solemnly.

Matuzallen waved his hand dissatisfiedly, and said nothing more. He did have a pulling action just now in order to reduce the opponent's dribbling speed, but he only pulled it and quickly let go. I didn't expect the opponent to fall down directly, and I didn't expect the referee to see his hidden hand movements.

While the Brescia players were still arguing with the referee, Shunsuke Nakamura had carefully placed the ball on the turf.

He stood in front of the ball, quietly waiting, and now all he had in his eyes was Brescia's goal.
