Viviano stood on the goal line and challenged Zhang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, Zhang Shu, who finished celebrating with his teammates, just glanced at him, "Weiwei, are you stupid?" I didn't take the penalty in the team... ”

Viviano froze in place, and then he remembered that it seemed that Baggio was the team's first penalty taker. As for Zhang Shu, so far he has no record of taking penalties.

This fact was a little boring for Viviano, whose mind was so so occupied by the thought of stopping Zhang Shu from scoring that he had forgotten such an important matter. Zhang Shu's fluttering words made him suddenly feel the burning battle intent in his heart and instantly turned into frustration.

"Zhang, if you want to take this ball, I don't mind." Baggio had already walked to the penalty spot, he glanced at the lost Viviano and crossed his waist to Zhang Shu.

He admired Viviano's undaunted declaration just now. As a goalkeeper, he is the team's last line of defence and must have the confidence to save the team on his own in a desperate situation. The Under-19s have conceded four goals in this game and were sentenced to death in such a situation, and it is very rare for Viviano to maintain his sharpness.

Baggio wants to give him a chance to go head-to-head with Zhang. The youngest player on both teams and a duel between two good friends.

But Zhang Shu shook his head, "The penalty is too simple, and if you score, you can't win him." ”

Even if he were to beat Viviano, he wanted to score in a field of play, not on penalties, which were unfair to Viviano – even if the penalty itself was created by him.

Baggio smiled, and instead of forcing it, he set the ball on the penalty spot and prepared it for the penalty.

Viviano also sank his body and prepared to face Baggio's shot.

After a whistle from Mericini, Baggio started running. Viviano kept his eyes on Baggio's right foot, ready to fly.

One step, two steps, three steps... After seven steps, Baggio stepped on the side of the ball with his left foot, leaned and hit the ball with his right ankle.

"Right!" As soon as Baggio's foot made contact with the football, Viviano had already pounced on his right side early. He had just seen clearly that Baggio's right ankle had an inward skimming movement, so that the shot would fly to his left, which was to the right of Viviano.

But the direction of the soccer flight was not as he thought, he flew in mid-air, but the soccer ball flew straight towards the middle.

"Spoon! It turned out to be a spoon! ”

In Viviano's eyes of regret, the ball flew lightly from where he had just stood and into the goal.

"Oooh~! Pretty! Robbie! After seeing the goal, Zhang Shu immediately rushed into the penalty area, jumped on Baggio's back, and waved his fist at Viviano, who was still lying on the ground watching the football rolling in the goal.

The other teammates were not as excited as Zhang Shu, but they also came up and high-fived Baggio and congratulated the captain on this beautiful goal.

The spoon penalty is the most difficult of all the penalty kicks, which is a combination of footwork, psychological games, and deception.

"What are you excited about! You didn't get in! If you have the ability, why don't you punish just now! Looking at Zhang Shu, who was more excited than Baggio who scored the goal, Viviano said angrily.

"I'm happy for the captain's beautiful goal~~" Zhang Shubei said with a smile. He spread his hands to Viviano, and he sang a simple ditty as he turned and ran back. The simple lyrics kept drifting into Viviano's ears.

"Five balls~~ Someone lost five balls today~~~"

In the end, the first team won 5-0 against the Under-19 team. This score is still small compared to the difference in strength between the two sides, even if Viviano's excellent performance is counted.

The first-team team's familiarity with the new tactics has to do with it, and while the Under-19s' defensive intensity against their big brothers is very different from that of a real Serie A game, the first-team players themselves have also made a lot of mistakes, which has led to a low level of attacking efficiency.

If the first-team players were to play the way they did last season, the score would have been in double digits.

But the coaching staff didn't care, and the score of the warm-up game didn't matter. In their eyes, what they see is what happens when the new tactic is successful. On the few occasions when the players successfully completed the tactical requirements, they created very good scoring opportunities.

As for the team's low proficiency? It's very simple, keep practicing.

So, for the rest of the day, the Brescia team continued their training rhythm of practicing tactics in the morning and physical fitness in the afternoon.

All the teams are in the midst of intense preparations, and the media are not idle. As the dust settles on the transfer market, they have also issued their own pre-season predictions.

Last season's Champions League winners, AC Milan, are the most serious contenders for the title of the new season in the eyes of all the media. This summer, they brought in Cokafor from Roma, the world's best right wing-back to fill one of Milan's last shortcomings, and as an alternative to the failed introduction of Zhang Shu, the Brazilian Kaka is also worth looking forward to. His style of play is similar to Zhang's, a new style of striker who is better at breaking through and scoring than playmaking, and with the rise of defenders of the type of Zhang Shu and Nedved in Serie A last season, there is reason to believe that Kaka, who has similar characteristics, has a bright future.

Milan have been a star-studded Milan season, with Kaladze, Maldini, Nesta and Cafu forming the perfect backline, Pirlo, Gattuso, Seedorf and Rui Costa/Kaka in midfield flawless, and Shevchenko and Filip Inzaghi up front a nightmare for all Serie A defenders. With such a team, there is no way to dismiss them.

And their city rivals Inter Milan have been relatively quiet in the summer transfer window, they did not buy any big players, but sold Barty, Crespo, Di Biagio, Ventola and several other powerful veterans. But for Inter Milan, who had hoarded too many stars before, such a reduction did not affect the strength of too many teams, because their original squad was too bloated. Even after the streamlining, Inter Milan still have a superstar like Vieri and a shining star like Martins. Although they have not won the Serie A title for 13 years, they are still strong contenders for the league title in the new season.

As for Juventus, one of the three giants, the calm old lady has always been a budget-conscious representative in the transfer market, this season they have basically maintained the team that won the league title and the Champions League runner-up last season, and in terms of player acquisitions, the most anticipated are Micoli, Appia and Camoranesi, who performed well last season. With the original team that has cooperated with the tacit understanding before, under the leadership of the "Silver Fox" Lippi, this season's Juventus not only defends the Serie A title, but also hopes to regain the Champions League title lost last year.

The remaining teams such as Parma, Roma and Lazio could challenge for the league title with the help of luck, but the most realistic goal for them is to qualify for next year's Champions League places.

As for Brescia, last season's third-place team in the league, the media is not so optimistic.

Baggio and Pep Guardiola are a year older, Baggio is already 37 years old, and Guardiola is also 33 years old, although their way of playing is not too dependent on their bodies, but the decline in physical function will inevitably lead to a decline in their performance, which is an irrefutable law of nature. Among the players who performed well last season, Appia went to Juventus, Bacchini recovered from a serious injury, Tareh went to Bologna, Seric and Sereni were withdrawn by the parent team, and the entire main squad was almost abolished.

Looking at the players they have transferred, Di Biagio and Mauri are quite good. But Di Biagio is also a 33-year-old veteran, and there is no guarantee of how he will be in form in the new season. Mauri did well in Modena, but only well. As for the other players who came on free transfers, bought half of the ownership and promoted by the youth team, they are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the media.

For Brescia, the biggest highlight of this transfer period is only Zhang Shu, who finally stayed in Brescia in the face of AC Milan's invitation, which surprised many people. But can a single statement make a qualitative change in Brescia's strength? Most media outlets don't think so.

Zhang Shu's performance last season was indeed the best player among Serie A newcomers, not one of them. But a lot of players were able to do really well in their first season, but they were beaten back in their second season. This phenomenon is often referred to as the "rookie wall".

There are many reasons for this, the biggest factor is that when they first entered Serie A, other teams were not familiar with these rookies and did not have any targeted defensive strategies for them, so in such a situation, it is natural to be able to achieve good results. But in the second season, everyone is ready, and last season's excellent performance will inevitably attract the attention of other teams, and with those coaches focusing on research, it will not be so easy to get what is needed as before.

Moreover, Zhang Shu's personality has also been a big factor in Brescia's results, and he only made his way into the first team last season, playing 16 games for Brescia in 21 league games.

Why is there 5 fewer games? Is it because of his lack of strength that he is a substitute?

Of course not, the reason why Zhang Shu missed a full 1/4 of the league was the ban.

As a striker who is difficult to eat cards, Zhang Shu has been banned for a total of 5 games in a season for provoking fans and other reasons. This is a staggering statistic.

It can also be seen from this that Zhang Shu is definitely not a good-tempered player, when Brescia pinned all their hopes on him in the new season, once he could not play for Brescia because of the ban, it would definitely be a huge blow to Brescia's strength.

Even if Zhang Shu can control his temper under the words and deeds of Mazzoni and Baggio, as a player who is not very physical, how long can he last in the intensive schedule of Brescia this season? And when Zhang Shu can't persevere, how can Brescia ensure the stability of his results?

The league is not a cup competition, and in a long season, only teams that are consistent enough can get good results. Juventus are serious contenders for the Serie A title at all times, not because they are strong, but more because they are solid enough.

Brescia, a small team that has never played in a Europa League, have enough bench depth to support their third-tier battles when it comes to the Champions League, league and Coppa Italia?

It is impossible to finish third like last season, and if Brescia focus is too much on the Champions League, it would be a very good result for them to be able to settle in the middle of the league.

If you're unlucky, it's not impossible to be relegated from the Champions League.

Serie A teams, apart from the big three, have no team capable of juggling the league and the Champions League at the same time, let alone a small club like Brescia.

With so many headwinds in front of Brescia, it is impossible for the media to expect much from them in the new season.

The Brescia players didn't have time to pay attention to the media, and even Zhang Shu didn't say a word in the newspaper.

They are immersed in their training and preparing for the new season.

Fast forward to mid-August, and while the rest of the team is still training for pre-season, the new season for Brescia has already begun.

The players are heading into their first game of the new season and one of their biggest games of the season – Champions League qualification. On 15 August, Brescia will first host Polish First Division champions Krakow, before taking on their opponents away two weeks later. When these two qualifying matches are over, Serie A will also kick off on August 30, with Brescia playing on the second matchday, just three days off before they finish their Champions League qualification.

This kind of schedule is more unfavorable for Brescia, the home and away game arrangement makes them have to win the opponent at home, and it is better to win by a large score, otherwise once there is a mistake at home, the uncertainty will be greater when it comes to the away game.

Mazzoni's strategy for Brescia was to attack with all his might, score as many goals as he could, and preferably make the second round away trip meaningless. To be on the safe side, he abandoned the new tactics of using the team in this game.

The new tactics are still not skilled enough at the moment, and Mazzoni does not dare to let his team take risks in such an important game. The results of the qualifying rounds are related to the results of Brescia's efforts in the past year. If they lose qualifying, Brescia's third-place finish in the league last season is not as good as that of Lazio, who finished sixth in the league. At least the sixth in Serie A does not need to participate in the qualifying round of the League Cup to enter the main competition.

In the week leading up to the game, Brescia reverted to last season's squad in training and the players quickly adapted to their previous tactics. After all, they've been playing with this squad for a season, and they can play like a fish in water with a little refresh in training.

When everything was ready, they quietly waited for their opponents to arrive.
