Chapter 13: Victory
After Jackson was substituted, Brescia played more easily. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the world of youth teams, there is a huge gap in player ability, and every other year, the youth teams of each team eliminate nearly half of them. The other half will move up to the next echelon, so in the U17 youth team, the level of substitutions and the main force is often the gap between the U19s and the eliminated.
Brescia also knew this, putting the main attack on the side of the new Milan centre-back, taking turns attacking him. Before the end of the first half, Zhang Shu received a pass from his teammates, and a beautiful turn and pull the ball to avoid the leg stretched out by the opponent's back to steal, and then went straight into the penalty area.
Faced with such a huge gap, Zhang Shu flicked the instep lightly, and the football passed through the gap between the two people.
The unmarked Turio did not miss this opportunity, in the face of the flying ball, he did not stop the ball, and shot directly at the goal, and the football flew into the door of the Milan team for the third time.
After scoring the goal, Turio excitedly ran to Zhang Shu, who was giving him an assist, and hugged Zhang Shu. After scoring twice before half-time, he felt he had hope of completing a hat-trick.
Milan's youth team has been shattered and their hard-standing backline was battered today. The Milan goalkeeper, who picked up the ball for the third time from the goal, drove the ball towards the midfield with a numb face.
Thankfully, the whistle at the end of the first half saved them, and as soon as the referee's whistle blew, the Milan players walked briskly to the dressing room with their heads down, they didn't want to stay on the pitch for another second.
The Brescia players were so excited that they were laughing and laughing at each other as they slowly walked towards the dressing room.
Passing by the stands, Tulio ran up to the stands and hugged and celebrated with his family who had come to see him play.
---------------------------------------
When all the players were in, Salvi closed the door to the dressing room.
"Everybody's done a great job today, it was great, and I want to say a lot of praise for you guys and tell you how excited the fans are for you, but I think you all saw it, right? Especially you, Turio. Salvi pointed at Turio, and the players burst into laughter
Turio touched his head in embarrassment, and the players sitting next to him were all heckling him.
When the laughter was over, Saville continued: "But the game is not over yet, so I'll save the compliments for you later." Next, let's talk about how we played in the second half. ”
'Milan haven't been strong up front this year, but you can't be careless, we're three goals ahead, so you have to pay attention to their sneak attack at the start of the second half and keep your focus at the back. When attacking, don't press everybody, have someone to protect in the backfield. ”
'There's nothing else to pay attention to, relax but stay vigilant because as long as we keep playing like we did in the first half, they won't have any chances.'
Xavier quickly ended his speech, he didn't make a long speech, the momentum of the team is good and he doesn't need to change much. It's better to leave time for the players to rest.
So some of the players started chatting, some listened to music, and some closed their eyes and took a nap.
Zhang Shu took out the water and snacks he had prepared from his cabinet and began to replenish his energy.
After more than a month of physical training, Zhang Shu's physical fitness has improved a lot, although it can't reach the level of the whole game, but he can easily complete it in one half time.
What's more, he also has the "stagnation" skill.
Now he is starving after using his skills.
In fact, in the senior team game, the team will prepare some high-calorie food and sports drinks for the players in the locker room at halftime to help them replenish the calories and the salt taken away by a lot of sweating, but the youth team does not have such a good treatment, Zhang Shu can only prepare in advance in order to use skills.
When the players came on the field, Saville pulled Zhang Shu alone.
"Zhang, you did a good job of supporting your teammates in the first half, you were assisting your teammates throughout the first half, which is good and shows that you have made the most of what you have been training for, but you can't forget your breakthroughs and your shots. You're a striker, not a midfielder, and you have to shoot yourself when you have the chance. In the second half I wanted you to be more aggressive and want to shoot. ”
Zhang Shu pursed his lips and came again, not knowing why Saville asked so much of him. He had one assist in the first half and also instigated two other goals. It stands to reason that his performance is already good, but Saville is still not satisfied.
He hiccuped and nodded to Salvi.
---------------------------------------
After the start of the second half, the performance of the Milan players recovered somewhat. I believe Baresi must have spent all his time cheering them on at half-time.
With the big score behind, they stepped up their attack, replacing a midfielder with a midfielder and taking advantage of the kick-off to launch a surprise attack on the Brescia defence.
However, with Saville's reminder at half-time, the Brescia players were attentive and did not give Milan a chance to sneak attack, forcing Milan to shift the attack to positional battles, and in the end, Milan ended the attack with a long-range shot.
It was Brescia's turn to attack, and their tactics did not change, and they still focused on the middle. In order to enhance the attacking power, Milan removed one of the two midfielders and replaced it with a forward midfielder, and the remaining one was even more powerless in the face of the impact of Brescia forwards Thomas and Zhang Shu.
In the 54th minute of the game, Zhang Shu received a pass from his teammates at the top of the arc of the penalty area, shook off the defender with a simple smash, and then shot on the line of the big penalty area, and the football was held up by the Milan goalkeeper out of the bottom line.
Five minutes later, Zhang Shu made a comeback, and this time Milan were not so lucky, Zhang Shu's shot bypassed the goalkeeper's ten fingers and bounced into the inside of the post.
After the goal, Zhang Shu ran excitedly to the stands, but the other players of Brescia pulled him down halfway, and Thomas, who assisted him, jumped on Zhang Shu's back from behind and flipped him to the ground, and the others pounced one by one.
Finally, when their celebration was over, Zhang Shu, who crawled out from the bottom, ran back with a shout and a fist.
"Well done!" The fans in the stands also gave Zhang Shu a round of applause and cheers, although they didn't know when the club had a dark-haired Asian, but that didn't prevent them from seeing how important Zhang Shu was in this game.
Zhang Shu waved his hand to the fans, and the cheers of the fans became louder.
---------------------------------------
The goal was a serious blow to the morale of the Milan team. At halftime, he was buoyed by Baresi's confidence, like a balloon that had been poked into a hole, and it "snapped" and disappeared.
After another kick-off, after a symbolic attack, Milan's youth team was completely pressed down in the half by Brescia.
But they didn't last long.
In the 70th minute of the game, Zhang Shu took the ball in front of the Milan penalty area. Milan piled almost everyone into the box, with the two centre-backs standing in front of Turio and the midfielders standing in the box to form a barrier. The front midfielder retreated to harass Zhang Shu with the ball. It looked like Milan's defence was impregnable.
However, when everyone didn't expect it, Zhang Shu shook off an angle and shot directly with his feet. The ball sped forward against the turf, through the dense legs in the penalty area, and then suddenly burst out of the crowd.
When the goalkeeper, who was blocked by the crowd, saw the football, he had no time to react, and could only watch the ball bounce on the ground and quickly drill into the goal.
Faced with another hole in the goal, the Milan players were numb. Adam covered his face with his jersey, and some of the other players lay directly on the lawn, while others walked back silently with their heads down. Baresi sat on the sidelines, grimacing.
Zhang Shu was not too excited after the goal, he was too lazy to do any more celebrations, the score had become 5:0, and he felt no interest in celebrating in the face of such a weak opponent.
But the crowd in the stands didn't think so, and they still erupted in cheers for the goal. Turio's family is the loudest and they love the young man who gave their son an assist today.
The Asian who didn't know when he joined the team surprised the fans. Of today's five goals, he scored two goals alone, as well as an assist and two instigations, so it can be said that Zhang Shu alone decided the victory of this game.
Fans seem to see a star of hope on the rise.
-----------------------------------------
Shortly after Zhang Shu scored, Xavier replaced him. According to Cosimo's report, Zhang's physical fitness can only last for about 70 minutes. Sixteen or seventeen years old is the time for young people to develop, and the future is still very long, this is to protect Zhang Shu. In the game, Zhang Shu completed two goals, an assist, and the other two goals were inseparable from him, although he only played 70 minutes, but Saville was very satisfied with Zhang Shu's efficiency.
In fact, Zhang Shu felt that his physical strength could still play for a while, although it was still a little difficult to insist on the whole game. But Cosimo didn't know that Zhang Shu still had skills.
In Brescia's tactics, Zhang Shu seemed very adaptable, a large number of balls were given to him to be distributed, although there was still some bias in the selection tendency of assisting teammates and his own ball-holding attack in the first and second halves, but Zhang Shu showed strong attacking power in both aspects. Saville believes that it won't be long before Zhang Shu can fully master the nine-and-a-half tactics.
After Zhang Shu left the field, Brescia slowed down the offensive, and the Milan team was unable to counterattack, so when the 90 minutes ended, seeing that both sides had no intention of fighting again, the referee did not give injury time again, and directly and decisively blew the whistle at the end of the game.
It didn't take much effort for Zhang Shu to usher in his first victory in the youth team of Brescia.
