Chapter 35: Try to be a leader
"Beautiful!"
When Zhang Shu rushed out between the two, Huang *Jian*Xiang and Zhang Lu couldn't help but let out an exclamation at the same time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although this person didn't have any too flashy moves, Huang *Jian*Xiang still almost jumped up from the front of the broadcast station.
The image of Zhang Shu emerging from between two defenders reminded him of the classic goal scored by Ronaldo against Valencia in Barcelona in the 96-97 season.
At that time, Ronaldo was also facing the siege of two people, and he was also single-handed, and he forced his way out of the closing of the two defenders.
The only difference between Zhang Shu's pass and Ronaldo is that Zhang Shu suddenly accelerated from between the two defenders in a stationary state, relying more on explosive power; Ronaldo, on the other hand, increased his speed out of thin air in the process of dribbling the ball at high speed, which was more difficult. But from an ornamental point of view, the two balls are almost identical.
The only concern now is whether Zhang Shu's beautiful passer will be able to bring a goal like Ronaldo.
It would be a shame if it didn't end with a goal.
After getting rid of the defense of two Sampdoria players, Zhang Shu finally followed the baseline into the penalty area. With no one around him now, no one could have imagined that he would be able to continue to dribble the ball even when he was forced into the corner, so much so that Sampdoria didn't have a second layer of defence at all.
After entering the penalty area, Zhang Shu raised his right foot, and Sampdoria goalkeeper Antonioli could only rush forward to block the near corner of the goal.
At this time, he no longer cares about what to do if he passes the ball, as a goalkeeper, he can only do his best, and God will decide the rest.
It seems that his prayers really worked, Zhang Shu did not pass the ball this time, and his raised right foot was heavily pumped on the football, and in the face of Antonioli, Zhang Shu directly chose to shoot at a small angle.
The ball raced towards the goal, and instead of kicking it into the upper corner, it clung to the turf and headed towards the near post.
Antonioli instinctively spread his legs, but he was still half a minute slower, and almost instantly, the ball crossed his body and grazed the near post and into the net.
“gooooooooooooooooool~!!!” Fabio shouted excitedly, "The ball is in!" Beautiful! Beautiful goal! At the most dangerous time in Brescia, Zhang stood up again! ”
"When we all thought that the game would go into half-time with a score of 2:0, Zhang pulled a goal back for Brescia! Ha ha! I believe Sampdoria feels uncomfortable at this time! Although they still hold the lead, a one-goal lead is not a risk! Zhang ruined their good mood at halftime! ”
On the other side of the world, Huang *Jian*Xiang also called out the moment the football flew into the goal.
"Good shot! Strike!! Zhang Shu!! ”
"Towards the end of the first half, Zhang Shu scored a goal for Brescia, and it was a beautiful goal! Zhang Shu dribbled the ball from the bottom line and smashed Huanglong! He used a Ronaldo-esque pass to crumble Sampdoria's defence! ”
"Zhang Shu's outstanding before the goal believes that many fans and friends feel familiar, in the 96 to 97 season, Ronaldo once gave us such a beautiful goal, in that game he faced the two Valencia players when he broke through the middle and scored directly with speed and body when he broke through and scored, and today Zhang Shu made Ronaldo's classic again!"
"Sampdoria conceded a goal, they were conceded under a goal that could be in the top 10 of the season! They didn't expect Zhang Shu to be able to break through the defense even when he was forced to the side by two defenders, but Zhang Shu told them with his actions that they should not let their guard down at any time! Now Brescia is just one goal away! ”
Huang *Jian*Xiang said for several minutes in one breath, although Brescia is still behind, but for them and most of the Chinese audience, it doesn't really matter if the game is won or lost, as long as Zhang Shu's performance is good enough.
After the goal, Zhang Shu turned and ran towards his teammates, and soon he was pulled by Caracciolo, Bacchini and Mauri. They surrounded Zhang Shu and kept patting him on the shoulders and back.
"Well done! Sheet! ”
"Haha! You've got the ball out of it like that! ”
"That's amazing!"
Zhang Shu's goal made them feel proud too. In addition to Zhang Shu, they are usually substitutes, and the team won when the main players were there before, if they played in this game and the team lost without any ability to fight back, wouldn't it seem that the gap between them and the main force was too big in comparison?
So when they saw the football fly into the goal, it seemed that they were even happier than Zhang Shu.
And behind them, the broken Sampdoria players were still explaining to their teammates: "... We thought he couldn't help it, who knew that the Chinese was so fast... We wanted to close the door, but he squeezed it through, and it was too late to pull him down after turning around... I dare to say that Zhang's explosiveness is definitely not weak! He was absolutely world-class when he started! ”
In order to convince his teammates that the lost goal was really not their poor strength, he worked hard to render Zhang Shu's speed like his teammates.
It's not that the brothers don't give it, it's really impossible to be eaten raw at the speed of being eaten!
Mazzoni returned to the bench from the sidelines and was able to pull a goal back before half-time to calm his mind. In the absence of many key players, Zhang is still the most trustworthy one in the team. Originally, when he was two goals down, Mazzoni did have some thoughts of giving up the game, the league is a long process, and it is not unacceptable to lose one or two games once in a while.
But Zhang Shu's goal rekindled his hope, perhaps, now is not the time to give up?
Mazzoni thought about it for a moment and decided to keep watching.
After Zhang Shu's goal, Sampdoria shrunk the defence. It's not long before the end of the first half, and there's no need to take any more risks. Brescia had a morale boost after pulling a goal back, and as the leading side, Sampdoria didn't have to take a huge risk to press out.
With just the little time left in the first half, a 15-minute half-time break was enough to interrupt Brescia's growing momentum. For Sampdoria, it can also restore the morale of the team.
So, in the final moments of the first half, there was a completely different scene on the pitch. Brescia, the visiting team, dominated the anti-away and pressed Sampdoria into the half-time bombardment.
"Beautiful! Caracciolo! Ah! He's a little close! I didn't get Zhang Shu's straight stopper! ”
"Long shot! It's a pity that the football slid through the door, coming from the front of the Maori. ”
"Zhang Shu and Bacchini played a two-one! It's time to shoot! Bacini!! The ball hit the side-netting... ”
With the wave after wave of attacks in Brescia, Huang *Jian*Xiang kept converting these attacks into sound like a machine gun and sending them to the television sets of thousands of households.
It's been the most enjoyable time of the evening so far.
The only regret was that Brescia could not score another goal until the end of the first half, and the referee's whistle saved Sampdoria's precarious defence.
"It's a pity! Just a little bit! Director Zhang slapped his thigh hard under the table, "Sampdoria has already begun to take care of one or the other!" Even if there were five more minutes in the first half, Brescia had a good chance of equalising. ”
He shook his head, a look of regret.
"Okay, friends, the first half is over. In the first half of the game, the two sides fought 2:1, Sampdoria temporarily lead, but Brescia also performed well, Zhang Shu scored a beautiful goal in the game, I believe that the two sides will still be fierce in the second half. ”
"Zhang! Well done! ”
When Zhang Shu walked off the court, he was greeted by a warm hug from his teammates. He chose to celebrate on the spot after scoring a goal, and many of his teammates at the back did not have time to run over and only now came to make up for it, while others on the bench also got up and high-fived him in celebration.
Although they are still behind, the players are acting as if they are ahead of their opponents.
On the other hand, the Sampdoria players on the other side walked into the players' tunnel with their heads down and without saying a word.
'Zhang Shu's goal was very important because he allowed Brescia to enter the dressing room with a more relaxed mentality. We can see that Mazzoni and Baggio both came up to hug him, and it seems that the most prestigious person in the two teams is also very satisfied with Zhang Shu's performance. ”
Although the first half of the game has ended, the CCTV TV broadcast signal did not cut to the studio for the first time, but continued to broadcast the pictures on the field. Huang *Jian*Xiang continued to comment on the first half of the game.
"That's right, in a sense, this game is also a very good opportunity for Zhang Shu." Zhang Lu also picked up Huang *Jian*Xiang's words. "Neither Baggio nor Pep Guardiola played in this game, and the captain on the pitch, Di Biagio, also arrived in Brescia just this season. It can be said that this is the first time that Zhang Shu has played as an absolute pillar of the team. ”
"Although Brescia has established Zhang Shu's central position tactically, Baggio's prestige is still high within the team. As the youngest player in the team, it is difficult for others to see him as an object to rely on. ”
'We can see that there is a big difference between Baggio playing and not playing and the rest of the Brescia team. When Baggio didn't play, the players felt that they had no backbone and no bottom in their hearts. Even if Zhang Shu's role on the field is no less than that of Baggio, he can't change the mentality of others. Such a status was earned by Baggio in the past few seasons with many performances of the Savior in danger, and Zhang Shu has not reached this status now. ”
"If Brescia wants to successfully complete the handover between Baggio and Zhang Shu, in addition to tactics, psychologically, the team must also get used to letting Zhang Shu replace Baggio's position. In the past, when players encountered difficulties, the first thing they thought of was Baggio, and now Zhang Shu wants to make them think of themselves first. As long as you are on the field, there will be a solution to any kind of dilemma. Only when this level is reached can the replacement of the old and new core of Brescia be considered a smooth completion. ”
"And in this game, if Zhang Shu can help the team equalize or even reverse in such an unfavorable start, it will be very helpful for him to establish his position in the hearts of other players."
"That's right! We look forward to the early arrival of this day, and we believe that Zhang Shu will not let us down, now let's go through the first commercial, and then continue to come back to watch the second half of the game! ”
Director Zhang's analysis made Huang *Jian*Xiang deeply agree. Although Baggio has many fans in China, and Huang *Jian*Xiang is also full of respect for the veteran, he certainly hopes that Zhang Shu can replace him in an all-round way as soon as possible than Zhang Shu and the future of Chinese football.
At half-time, Baggio and Pep Guardiola were pulling Zhang Shu to the side and whispering.
It is not only the wish of Chinese fans and the media for Zhang Shu to mature as soon as possible and complete the all-round handover with Baggio in the team, but also the desire of these two veterans.
Technically, Zhang Shu is no longer a big problem, what he lacks now is authority in the locker room.
His age has given him unlimited potential, but it has also created some obstacles for him to establish prestige in the team. For most of their teammates, they liked the young teammate, but in essence, the affection was more akin to the love of the seniors to the younger than the respect and admiration for the team leader.
This liking is more reflected in the care and accommodation of Zhang Shu. Tony will come out because of the opponent's dangerous actions against Zhang Shu, Bacchini likes to teach Zhang Shu "man's experience", Filippini has repeatedly asked his teammates to take Zhang Shu away when the referee is looking for trouble with Zhang Shu...
For the little brother who came out of the Brescia Academy, the players seemed to be very protective and sometimes even too protective.
Such a harmonious relationship within the team cannot be said to be bad, but when the team encounters difficulties, the players will not subconsciously think of relying on Zhang Shu for the first time.
In fact, such a situation may be fine in two or three years, Zhang Shu's own personality is not mature, and he doesn't blame others for treating him as a child. But Baggio couldn't wait that long, and he could only choose to let Zhang Shu shoulder the responsibility of receiving the team as soon as possible.
"Zhang, you have to make your voice heard more in the team." Baggio said to Zhang, "For example, when you are two goals behind in the first half, if Gigi doesn't step up, you should stand up as soon as possible to boost the morale of your teammates. ”
"That's right, if the tactics need to be fine-tuned, you have to direct your teammates to make adjustments, have you forgotten that you are the baton of the team?" Pep Guardiola also added, "On the pitch you can spot problems earlier than the manager, and as a core you are qualified to get your team-mates to match your ideas. ”
"Well, but isn't that your job?" Zhang Shu scratched his head.
Baggio smiled, "Pep and I will often be absent from the field in the future, so this job will be handed over to you later." ”
"Robbie and I will leave sooner or later, Zhang, you have to get used to leading a team forward." Pep Guardiola also added on the sidelines. "Try to be a leader."
"Hmm... Sounds like a good one? Zhang Shu thought about it, there is nothing to lose if he tries, anyway, the new tactics before made the whole team feel good around him, so it should be okay to go further, right?
"Then I'll try it in the second half!" He slammed his fist into his other outstretched hand and nodded to the two veterans. (To be continued.) )
