Chapter 119: Zhang Shu who was bullied

Torino's two midfielders couldn't be said to be unhappy, they were on the verge of saving out of the penalty area, but they were still a few metres away from Zhang Shu. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing that Zhang Shu's volley was too late to stop, the two of them turned their backs and jumped up, trying their best to block the angle of Zhang Shu's shot.

"Bang~" A dull sound of the instep colliding with the football came from behind them, and they didn't look back, but instinctively tensed the muscles of their bodies, preparing for a strong impact that they didn't know if it would fall on them.

Even if they are psychologically prepared to block the gun's eye, their bodies will still unconsciously turn their backs to protect themselves for fear of being hit by a football.

But nothing, no expected pain, no football whistling past my ears.

"Is that kid kicking off?" The thought first came to their minds.

When they landed, they turned their heads from side to side, looking for the soccer ball that had flown somewhere.

But after looking around 360 degrees, I still didn't find it.

"Upper!"

I don't know whose voice reached their ears. They looked up in the direction of the goal, just in time to see the ball slowly falling from the sky. Underneath the ball, is the unmarked Tony.

Just now, in order to defend Zhang Shu, the Torino team pressed out of the penalty area with two backs.

There is a huge gap between the midfielders and the centre-backs, between the edge of the small and big penalty areas. In order to keep the whole defence compact, the two central defenders almost thoughtlessly predetermined their positions according to the team's defensive tactics.

This is common in matches, when a successful defense is ready for a second attack, and the overall forward pressure of the defence can put the opposing attacking players in an offside position while they are still in front of the goal, thus forcing those attacking players to withdraw from the box with them away from the goal.

That's why they left Tony behind.

"It's definitely offside... Right? "A member of the Torino team raised his hand to the referee, but the referee was unmoved.

More Torino players went crazy and pounced in front of their own goal.

But Toney didn't give them any chances, he didn't stop the ball, he didn't make any more adjustments, he didn't even wait for the ball to fall on the turf.

He was like he had known that Zhang Shu would pass the ball, and in the face of this unexpected overhead straight stopper, he was not panicked, and seemed to have thought about his next move in advance.

As if after a thousand rehearsals, he rolled his ankle sideways and pushed it flat like a golf ball putt, hitting the ball that fell from mid-air.

"Lucatoni! No one is defending!! No offside!! Shots ~~~~~~~~"

The Torino goalkeeper rushed to attack, but Toney's unhesitating shot left him too late to completely block Toney's angle.

He could only try to spread his hands and feet and expand his defensive area, while praying in his heart that Tony's shot would hit him.

But Toni was calmer than he had imagined, and in the face of the attacking goalkeeper, Toni pushed a boccia ball into the far corner. The ball dodged the goalkeeper's outstretched legs and rolled into the goal without hindrance.

“gooooooooooool~~~~!!!”

As soon as the ball crossed the goal line, Fabio couldn't wait to choose a goal, and he dragged out his voice until the air in his lungs was exhausted.

But he immediately took a deep breath to support his rambling commentary.

"Luca Toney's goal! He opened the scoring for Brescia. He was not discouraged after missing a great opportunity and he proved himself again with a goal! ”

"Torino's well-targeted defence started out well, but after Brescia made a change, they only lasted 10 minutes before the goal was lost! The biggest contributor to this goal was Zhang who retreated from the position! The intimidation of his breakthrough and shot turned Torino's defenders into stunners. ”

"In order to defend Zhang's breakthrough, the Torino team had to weaken the defense against the rest of the Brescia team, and it was the fear of Zhang that made them empty Toni in the box in a panic."

"Zhang's last pass is also indispensable, let's take a look at the slow motion, Zhang's footwork is very exquisite, such a volley pass is more difficult than a volley!"

In line with Fabio's words, the director also cut out the slow motion just now on the TV. Zhang Shu faces Schop on the right and crosses from the right and gently pads the bottom left of the ball with the outside of his right foot. He didn't exert any force, and there was even a slight unloading action. Schop's powerful cross was deprived of most of its power by such a gentle pad, and then the ball changed direction, past the two Torino midfielders in front of him and the two centre-backs in the back, and flew towards the unguarded Toney.

In fact, from the perspective of footwork and effect, Zhang's action is the same action and effect as the domestic player's "stop the ball and stop 10 meters away". The difference is simply the difference between "accidentally" stopping 10 meters in the face of a very powerful long pass and stopping 10 meters "precisely". However, the result was that one lost possession and the other became a second pass that led to the goal.

After the goal, Tony ran to Zhang Shu for the first time, and he wanted to thank Zhang Shu for the assist he gave.

As the team's main centre-forward, he has scored just three goals so far this season. Although there are injury reasons, it has to be said that Toney's season can basically be declared a failure.

Although he usually seems to be still that optimistic, in fact, the pressure on his heart is not light.

So he felt sincerely grateful to Zhang Shu who still sent him a nanny assist after he wasted a great opportunity.

"Hahahaha, Tony, I'll just say I'll pass you the ball!" Zhang Shu laughed and hugged Tony who ran over, "Your running position just now is amazing!" ”

"Because I'm sure you can pass the ball!" Tony laughed in response.

The other Brescia players also high-fived their nearest team-mates.

On the bench, the old coach Mazzoni stood on the sidelines when Zhang Shu passed, but when he saw the goal, he looked much calmer.

He just raised his hand and clapped it a few times, then turned and sat back on the bench.

In the face of such a stubborn opponent, as long as the deadlock can be broken, the next game will be easy to play. If the opponent continues to spend time with them like this, Mazzoni will not mind a narrow 1-0 victory.

After the restart of the game, the mentality of the players of the Torino team changed. Some players wanted to launch a counter-attack and try to equalise as soon as possible, while others decided to continue to defend solidly and keep the score behind until half-time before making adjustments.

In fact, both of these ideas are true, and their only mistake is that they did not choose either path.

In countless wars, it has been confirmed that when two choices with their own advantages and disadvantages are placed in front of the commander, if the commander chooses a compromise plan and tries to take into account the advantages of both plans, then what awaits him is usually unable to complete either plan and accept the blow of failure of both plans at the same time.

Football, as a war in peacetime, is no different.

The ideologically unanimous Torino team was unable to equalise or keep their goal from conceding.

Just before half-time, Filippini seized the gap behind an assist from the opposition full-back and slotted into the box from the ribs of the Torino defence. After attracting the attention of two defenders, Zhang Shu passed back to Guardiola, who sent a through ball forward. Torino defender Mezzano accidentally brought down Filippini when he made a tackle. The referee decisively awarded a penalty.

"Penalty! Look at the slow motion, there is no problem with this decision of the referee! Baggio wasn't there today, so who would be the penalty? ”

Baggio was the first penalty taker from almost all set-pieces in Brescia, whether it was a penalty, a corner or a free-kick. When Baggio is not around, it is usually the players on the pitch who come out on their own.

"Oh also! Penalty kick! We've won! When the referee blew the whistle, Viviano and Turio jumped to the cheers of the Brescia fans in the stands.

Han Yu was relatively quiet, she didn't know what was going on, but seeing that everyone else was so excited, she also applauded with others.

As for Aunt Han, she has always remained calm, for her, she really can't understand the movement of 23 people chasing the ball on the field. She mainly spends time with her daughter today, it doesn't matter what she does, as long as her daughter is happy.

Viviano and Turio clapped their hands, sat down and turned their heads to popularize the knowledge of penalty kicks to the Han family's mother and daughter, of course, he did not miss to boast to Han Yu that Zhang Shu played a huge role in this attack.

As for whether Zhang Shu really played such a big role, he didn't care, anyway, Han Yu didn't understand.

"Zhang! Baggio is not here, you can take this penalty! He shouted inwardly.

But Zhang Shu seemed to be going to work against Viviano today, and when the Brescia players got together to discuss, he stood outside the circle and watched, without any intention of getting involved.

"Zhang, do you want to kick this penalty?" Guardiola, who was still promoted to take a penalty, held the ball and took the initiative to ask him.

"Not interested!" Zhang Shu waved his hand and said with a wicked smile. "Pep, you take a penalty, you see you haven't scored this season, and your hair is gone."

Guardiola's face darkened when he heard it, can he still talk properly, my hair is born with hair loss! I don't like to score goals, so why bother!

He has scored very few goals in his career, and Guardiola prefers to assist his team-mates rather than scoring his own goals. In his 11 years at Barcelona, he scored just 11 goals in all competitions combined, mostly free-kicks. He also scored one last season when he was in Brescia, and if he scores again today, it will just keep his average of one goal per year.

Seeing Zhang Shu's refusal, as the biggest player on the field now, Guardiola had to bear the pressure of the penalty, and he walked to the penalty spot with the football in his arms, ready to take the penalty.

When he passed by Zhang Shu, he also kicked Zhang Shu's ass.

However, Zhang Shu reacted quickly to avoid Guardiola's revenge.

There were no more twists and turns, and after the referee blew the whistle for a penalty kick, Guardiola, who was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves in Barcelona, easily hit the ball into the top left corner of the goal with a volley.

Faced with a football that went straight to the corner, the goalkeeper of the Torino team had nothing to do.

This choice fully experiences Guardiola's self-confidence, the penalty kick is on the left and right corners of the area where the goalkeeper is almost impossible to touch the ball, and the psychological quality and footwork of the penalty taker are also the highest, and the football will fly out of the bottom line if you are not careful. Generally speaking, players will choose the lower left and right corners that are easier to control and the goalkeeper is not so easy to pounce on as the direction of the penalty.

"The ball is in! Brescia took a two-goal lead and this game looked like they were on the line. ”

After the goal, Guardiola grabbed Zhang Shu who wanted to run away for the first time, put his head under his armpit and kept rubbing his hair.

"You have a lot of hair! You're amazing! Listening to Zhang Shu's screams, Guardiola laughed happily while rubbing it.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong~~~ Pep, you have the most hair! Pep, you're full of hair! Pep, your head is haired with a kite, chest hair can be fished, your beard can mop the floor! Zhang Shu's non-stop gibberish led to greater revenge from Guardiola.

"You can walk on your fists! Ouch, ouch, you have a big rock in your chest! Ah!.... Tony save me! ”

The other members of Brescia held their hands and watched the play with a smile, without the intention of rescuing Zhang Shu at all. Even Tony, who was named by Zhang Shu for help, did not lend a hand.

"Let you hack us." They laughed and scolded this with a relieved smile, and Zhang Shu's character of running the train often made them angry and funny. Captain Baggio is a good old man and has always maintained a doting and indulgent attitude towards Zhang Shu. Now that Guardiola, the biggest card on the field, has made a move, they won't save Zhang Shu.

"Why are they bullying Zhang Shu?" Han Yu, who saw this scene, was a little dissatisfied, and she puffed out her cheeks and asked Viviano.

Viviano just wanted to explain to him that the friendship between men is not the same as that of girls, and that playing tricks on each other is actually a sign of a good relationship between the players in Brescia's team and Zhang, but when he thought about it, the words he said changed.

"Oh, Zhang is pitiful in the team, you see he is short, the youngest, handsome, of course, the most easy to be bullied."

"Where is Zhang Shu short, his height at this age is quite normal." Han Yu's motherhood seemed to be stimulated by the scene of Zhang Shu being abused by his teammates, "It's so pitiful. She said in a pitiful tone, and her eyes looking at Zhang Shu became softer.

"Big brothers in the first team, don't blame me for hacking you, little brother, I'm just helping my brothers." Viviano secretly drew a cross on his chest and said silently in his heart.
