Chapter 57: Participation in Rotation

After Zhang Shu passed the ball, he fell heavily on the lawn, and then he felt a sharp pain in his calf. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

If it is a hot-blooded anime or a domestic film and television drama, the next plot should be that the teammates will explode instantly after seeing Zhang Shu fall, and then pass five levels and kill six generals, and send football to the door of Chelsea after a series of complex cooperation.

After scoring a goal, his teammates will gather around Zhang Shu from all over the stadium one by one, maybe the captain, maybe Tony, will stand up and say to him sadly and solemnly: "Zhang, don't worry, we scored this goal!" ”

Next, Pep Guardiola will launch an enthusiastic speech to his teammates, encouraging everyone to carry on Zhang's "legacy" and continue to struggle. Then there's a close-up of Bacchini as he weeps silently and painfully recalls how he was reinvigorated by Zhang's encouragement. Di Biagio will let out a roar of grief and indignation, and as he roars like a wounded wolf, the image gradually moves upwards to the sky froze with grass clippings and fans cheering on him.

What a tragic and solemn picture, with a glimmer of hope for a new life at the end, it is simply a perfect tragedy, just like "Braveheart".

Although at the moment of falling, Zhang Shu had already made up a 180-minute movie in his head, but things did not develop as he imagined. Toney received the ball from him and passed it to Baggio further away.

Baggio passed back to Guardiola and stepped forward, Guardiola once again made a long pass to Toni, Toni rubbed the header to Baggio, and Baggio volleyed directly.

Then the ball flew high over the crossbar. - Baggio was disrupted when he shot and failed to hold the ball down.

.

As soon as the ball flew off the baseline, Cudicini received the ball from the ball boy behind the goal, threw the ball to the ground, and prepared to kick it off immediately.

Time is running out, and every second must be seized.

But his plan to take a quick free-kick was interrupted by the referee's whistle, "Beep~Beep~Beep~!" A short, shrill whistle sounded under the sky at Stamford Bridge and Cudicini looked up to see the referee racing towards a figure still lying on the ground in midfield.

At this time, everyone's attention shifted from the tense offense and defense to Zhang Shu's body.

Mazzoni stood up from the bench with a "pum", he nervously walked to the edge of the field, and looked at Zhang Shu at the far end of the court, his anxiety was overflowing.

Now Zhang Shu is the most indispensable person in Brescia, and if he is injured, it will be a big trouble.

"Huh?! Zhang Shu didn't get up after he fell just now, was he injured? ”

Even more nervous than Mazzoni is Huang Jian*Xiang, who, as a Chinese commentator, probably least wants to see Zhang Shu injured. If Zhang Shu could choose between not getting injured and Brescia winning, maybe Mazzoni would hesitate for a moment, but Huang Jianxiang would not hesitate to give up Brescia's victory.

Like most Chinese, he only loves Brescia and Wu, and he can't talk about deep feelings, but he has high hopes for Zhang Shu, the hope of Chinese football.

.

Baggio was the first to run to Zhang Shu's side, Zhang Shu lay on his side, holding his calves with both hands, motionless and without making a sound.

"Zhang! Are you okay! A hint of foreboding flashed through Baggio's mind.

As a player who often gets injured, he is all too familiar with how players perform after injury.

The kind of rolling around on the ground with your legs and screaming is generally not too much of a problem, and even a lot of it is a performance by a player, hoping that the referee will give the opponent a yellow or red card.

But those who lie still like Zhang Shu and don't wail are almost certainly really injured.

Baggio ran a few more steps, and now he could see Zhang Shu's expression.

Zhang Shu's head was tilted upward, and an obvious green tendon appeared on his neck, he opened his mouth wide, but his mouth could only make a short sound of "ho~ho~", like a goldfish thrown ashore, his eyes were wide open, and his sockets were full of tears.

Baggio's heart sank uncontrollably.

This kind of expression is all too familiar to him, and he knows what kind of pain people can behave like this. The last time he felt such pain was last year when his cruciate ligament rupture.

Almost without thinking, Baggio turned directly and made a stretcher gesture to the sidelines.

.

"..." Mazzoni scolded fiercely, and the members of the medical team on the side rushed up as soon as they saw Baggio's gesture. "Jonathan, go warm up!" He shouted at the bench, "Antonio, you go too!" ”

Bacchini and Filippini had already come out of the bench, and when they heard the old coach's shout, they took off their trousers in two by three and ran to the warm-up area.

"I hope Zhang's injuries aren't too serious... Mazzoni prayed silently in his heart.

At this time, the other members of Brescia also came around, "Zhang! "What the hell is going on?!" "Are you alright?!" Miscellaneous voices surrounded Zhang Shu, and Guardiola pulled people back one by one outside the crowd, "Spread out a little!" Leave some room to come out! Don't obstruct air circulation! ”

Zhang Shu lowered his head, squeezed his eyes hard, squeezed out the tears that filled his eyes and affected his vision, and then pointed to his right calf with one finger...

"Does your calf hurt?" Tony squatted down and asked with concern, he was a little at a loss, and he didn't dare to touch Zhang Shu's injury rashly before the team doctor came.

Zhang Shu gritted his teeth, and finally grinned and squeezed out a word.

"Cramped !!"

.

The scene was suddenly a little awkward.

It was a very happy thing, but I don't know why now everyone has an urge to beat Zhang Shu up.

Only Baggio was still cautiously confirming, "Is it really just cramps?" Nothing else? What about the knees? Are you sure it's muscle pain and not tibia? ”

"Really... Target...! The pained expression on Zhang Shu's face made people feel that he was suffering a lot at the moment, but the words he said made Baggio instantly relaxed.

"It's okay, it's okay." Tony stood up and waved to the crowd, "Disperse, scatter~"

"Tony! You... Help me press my legs! Zhang Shu finally whispered a complete sentence, "My leg... I can't straighten it anymore!! ”

"It hurts to go by yourself! Soul light! Tony turned back to him and growled, "You deserve it!" ”

"Hey! I have cramps... Ahh You are ... What an attitude!! Zhang Shu hugged his feet and complained with blood and tears, he was a little inexplicable, what kind of temper was Tony throwing a tantrum?

The members of the medical team finally ran into the crowd, they didn't know what was going on, and they were all like enemies.

"Zhang, where does it hurt?" The team doctor asked as he laid Zhang Shu's leg flat and touched his shin bone inch by inch with his fingers.

After such a long time, Zhang Shu has eased, and the pain from the calf muscles has been reduced a lot. "Don't touch it, I'm just cramping! Just help me press my legs! He said to the team doctor.

"Cramps?" The team doctor looked strange.

"What a cramp!!" Zhang Shu said, he couldn't figure it out, what was wrong with the others, wasn't it just cramps? How big of a deal? What happened after I fell? I'm just thinking about it! I wasn't actually seriously injured!

The referee also came at this time, and he signaled that Brescia had been delayed for too long, and asked the medical personnel to carry Zhang Shu out of the field on a stretcher first so that the game could continue.

As soon as Zhang Shu turned around, he saw the stretcher behind him.

"The stretchers are all up???!!! What's the situation!! ”

"I thought your injuries were serious." Baggio explained helplessly. "You were crying just now, so..." He spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, not continuing.

"Where am I crying!" Zhang Shu shouted, "Impossible!!" I didn't cry! He urgently explained that if other teammates knew that they were crying because of the pain of cramps, they didn't know how many times they would be ridiculed in the future, and this kind of thing would definitely not be admitted.

But it was too late, Baggio's words had already been heard by the others, and suddenly the crowd was filled with joy, Tony squatted down and touched the corner of Zhang Shu's eye with his finger, "It's crying!" He rubbed the liquid from his fingers and turned to the others, making a decision like a forensic doctor.

"That's a natural physiological response to pain! Can you cry as a physiological reaction? Physiological reaction! ”

Zhang Shu was still defending himself, but unfortunately his teammates obviously wouldn't believe his far-fetched words.

Finally, the referee couldn't stand the waste of time like this, and he showed a yellow card to Zhang Shu, signaling that if he continued to waste time like this, he would never come up.

So Zhang Shu was carried on a stretcher with a confused face, and left the arena sideways for the first time in his career.

"I really didn't cry just now!"

Even on a stretcher, he insisted on giving this last cry to his teammates who were getting farther and farther away from him.

.

"Pump... Sinews...? Listening to the report of the team doctor's return, Mazzoni was also a little speechless. I thought it was a big injury, but it turned out to be cramps?

I've been worried about it for so long, just now Mazzoni has gone through the schedule of the last three months in his head, and at the same time lowered the goal of the three months.

"Zhang, haven't you had cramps before? Can't bear this kind of pain? On the other side, the team doctor helped Zhang Shu who was lying on the ground to press his leg again and again, and teased him over and over again. You scared Robbie out of the way, he must have thought you were badly hurt! ”

"Of course I've had cramps, how did I know Robbie would react so much."

Zhang Shu straightened his right leg knee, enduring the pain of ligament stretching, and grinning intermittently in response to the team doctor.

After finishing the incident, he also got up and asked the team doctor to look at the corner of his eye, "You see that tears will come out naturally, right?" It's a physiological reaction! You'll have to help me testify to the others in a moment! ”

"Good, good." The team doctor held his hands up in a gesture of surrender.

But the shouts of teammates immediately came from the bench on the side, "Zhang! We won't believe it! "Hahahaha, you crybaby!"

Even Bacchini, who came back from the warm-up, pretended to be a child on the side, "Mom, Mom, I don't want injections!" He rubbed his hands and eyes in a crying gesture, causing the others to laugh.

Zhang Shu was not injured, which made everyone's mood in Brescia a lot easier.

.

Although Zhang Shu did not deliberately delay time, objectively speaking, he did interrupt the offensive rhythm of the two sides on the court before. Instead of letting him return to the pitch, Mazzoni replaced him with Bacchini, and then after stoppage time, Mazzoni replaced Baggio with Filippini and wasted another minute of stoppage time.

So until the end of the game, Chelsea could not recover the gap of one goal.

"It's over! It turns out that football is not just a game of money! Fabio shouted, "Brescia won 1-0 away at Chelsea, the strongest opponents in the group, and they have regained the initiative in their own hands!" ”

After this game, Brescia overtook Chelsea in the group position on goal difference, and played all three opponents in the group stage. From the current point of view, when they return to face Chelsea at home in the next round, Brescia can basically guarantee a place in the qualification as long as they can guarantee not to lose, and then win the weakest place in the group Besiktas at home.

"In the first Champions League appearance, Brescia showed amazing fighting power, although they lost to Porto in the last round, but after the away win over Chelsea, their hopes of qualifying have increased greatly, I believe that Zhang Shu will not disappoint us in the next games, and we sincerely hope that Brescia can go further!" Huang * Jian * Xiang also said that although it is still early, now he is already looking forward to Zhang Shu being able to lead Brescia to qualify from the group.

Only Mazzoni was still frowning after the win.

He was certainly happy about the victory, but Zhang Shu's cramps diluted his good mood.

It's only been two months since the new season, and Zhang's physical strength can't hold it anymore? If Zhang can't hold on and has to be rotated for the next game, what should Brescia do?

Zhang Shu has played all the games since the pre-season Champions League qualifiers this season, and Mazzoni has always thought that the pre-season training will help him complete the challenge, but at present, it seems that the coaching staff still underestimated the intensity of consecutive double games or even three games a week.

This time Zhang is just cramping, what if he is really injured next time? Players often come out to protect themselves when they are not physically exhausted, which will lead to a significant increase in their chances of injury.

"Marino," he whispered to the team doctor, "help Zhang do a full body check after the game, and ask Merricini to give me a report on Zhang's fitness." We have to take all possibilities into account. ”

Then he turned his head to look at the assistant coach next to him.

"Igor, from the next game, add Zhang also to the list of players involved in the rotation."
