Chapter Eighty-Seven: Shooting? No, it's a pass (2-in-1 chapter)
After the restart, Cafu seemed to regain his strength. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He sprinted back and forth on the flanks, just like he did at the beginning of the game.
Zhang Shu's taunts deeply irritated him, and he now only wants to help Roma equalize as soon as possible in response to Zhang Shu's humiliation of him.
The Roma players didn't notice Cafu's abnormality, after all, he usually performed like this up and down, and the other players didn't know that he was now at the end of his power.
It wasn't long before Roma had a good chance when Cafu's in-cut shot from the edge was blocked by a Brescia defender and the ball flew towards the top of the box where Totti appeared.
"Totti!" Fabio shouted. "Brescia is in danger."
Although Appiah was still close behind Totti, who spread his arms and stuck him behind him, everyone knew that Totti would be going to finish the attack with a long-range shot. And with Totti's quality, the threat of this shot will be great.
Appiah's heart was a little anxious, and in order to stop Totti, he could only make a small circle slightly, hoping to go around Totti's right side in front of him. During the run, there was a violent collision between his chest and Totti's outstretched arms.
Before he could finish the circle, Totti was already volleying into the falling football.
"Shoot!" With Fabio's shout, the ball sped like a bolt of lightning towards Brescia's goal.
The fans of Rome have already raised their cheering hands, and they trust each other as much as they believe in the Bible. The Roman prince never let them down, and in times of danger, they knew Totti would step up once again to save the team.
"Bang!" The ball dodged the hands of Brescia goalkeeper Sereni, but could not escape the goal of the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Totti's powerful shot hit the crossbar and flew high off the line.
"Alas~~~~~~~~" There was a neat sigh from the stands at the Stadio Olimpic, and the Roma fans clasped their heads in their hands in celebration, unable to believe that their team's luck could be so bad.
"It's okay, it's just bad luck, next time Francisco will definitely help the team equalize!" A fan leader shouted loudly as he cheered on the rest of the fans. "Brothers, shout! For Rome! ”
Encouraged by his words, the Roma fans threw their bad luck behind them and regrouped to cheer for Roma once again.
Little did they know, however, that Roma's bad luck didn't stop there.
Seeing the ball hit the crossbar, Totti's heart was also disappointed. "Phew!" He spat on his saliva. Turn and run back, ready for the next attack.
But as he turned, he felt a sharp pain in his back that was tearing.
It was where he had suffered a back strain in the Coppa Italia semi-final, and after a week of rest, he thought he was fully recovered.
He raised his right hand to sit behind his back and stretched, this action once again involved the muscles in his back, "Hiss~~~" A burst of pain made him change his expression. He remembered the collision with Appia.
In order to stop the bull-like Ghanaian, he blocked the opponent with his open arms, and when the opponent pushed forward, he used his right hand backwards, and as a result, the muscle strain in his back recurred.
"..." Totti's face became even more gloomy, he looked up at the 1:0 score on the big screen, gritted his teeth, and turned to run back.
At this time, you can't fall down. Totti thought to himself as he endured the discomfort coming from his back.
The stormy Roman counteroffensive did not last long. Their two points of fire, Totti and Cafu, soon fell silent.
Perhaps a momentary mental stimulation can make them ignore their body's constant warnings. But when that breath passed, they felt more fatigue and pain than before.
Brescia didn't know about Totti's injury, but Pep Guardiola was keenly aware of the changes in the Roma team: "They don't have the energy! Shout out to the rest of his teammates.
As a metronome on the field, he quickly adjusted, with Brescia changing his previous style of playing slowly and backwards, and Guardiola accelerating Brescia's attacking tempo with passing and running. Now it's not just Zhang Shu's side that is fast, but the whole stadium is faster.
Mazzoni's pre-match run-and-play tactics really began to be implemented at this moment.
Although the tempo has changed, the focus of Brescia's attack has not changed, and Guardiola still distributed the ball more to the left wing of Zhang Shu. Now a fool can see that Cafu can't run anymore, and if he doesn't take the opportunity to attack Roma's right flank now, will he have to wait until halftime to restore their strength?
Thanks to the team's tactical changes, Zhang Shu played more easily. In the past, Brescia except for his side, the other players did not attack at a fast pace, which led to the counterattack when he was rushing, but the other players were still slowly dragging behind. When he and Cafu were in a-for-tat confrontation, he could only impact the other party alone, and now, not to mention that Cafu can't run anymore, even Cafu still maintains his physical strength, with the moderator of his mid-lane teammates who can keep up in time, and through the combination of passing and cutting in the side, Zhang Shu can easily break through the Roma defense.
After a one-two with Baggio, avoiding Cafu, who had been charging for five minutes and running for a few seconds, Zhang Shu dribbled towards Roma full-back Panucci. Now he doesn't have to worry about Cafu coming back, and Roma's midfielders are not to be afraid of, with Pep Guardiola and Appia drawing attention for themselves.
One-on-one with Panucci is simply relaxed and pleasant for Zhang Shu.
Several successive changes of direction shook the opponent to the point of losing his center of gravity, Zhang Shu cut inside with the ball, and once again killed towards the Roma penalty area. Roma centre-backs Dellas and Aldair had to split up one to stop Zhang. Greek defender Dellas, who is good at headers, stayed in the box to defend Toney, while the aging Aldair blocked Zhang Shu.
The 38-year-old was once one of the best centre-backs in the world, and in the 90s he dominated the Brazilian national team's main centre-back for a long time. He helped Brazil win the World Cup in '94, runners-up in '98 and the Serie A title with Roma in '01.
Originally, Aldair had terminated his contract with Roma last year, but because Roma had not been able to find a suitable central defender, Aldair, who had been playing for Roma for 13 years, once again wore Roma's No. 6 shirt to protect Rome.
Even though he is almost 40 years old, Aldair has been performing well this season, and the Roma team has confirmed that when Aldair retires at the end of the season, the Roma No. 6 shirt he has been wearing will also be sealed and retired.
In the face of such an old and strong veteran, Zhang Shu did not dare to be careless. There are a lot of players in Serie A who are getting better and better as they get older. For example, his captain Baggio... If you underestimate them, you're going to pay a heavy price.
Zhang Shu cautiously made two feigned movements that changed direction, but Aldair just stared at his eyes and did not shift his focus with his movements. Seeing that the opponent was unmoved, Zhang Shu was no longer a feint for the third time, he flicked the ball to the outside, ready to pass the opponent.
But Aldair, who had been standing quietly in his position before, moved his feet and got stuck in a position that made Zhang Shu very uncomfortable.
Zhang Shu had a headache, and he had the feeling of facing Nesta and Maldini. For a long time, Zhang Shu, who lacks speed and physical confrontation ability, has relied on rhythm changes and feints to shake off opponents. Especially feints, with the help of the system, he can detect the movements of defenders at the first time and choose the best way to deal with them according to the opponent's defensive movements.
There are even times when he can sell a flaw to attract the opponent's kick, and then start to control his body to respond at the moment when the opponent just kicks out, dial the ball to a position where the opponent can't touch, and then pass the opponent.
But a veteran like Aldair is too experienced, his feints can basically be judged by the opponent, and when he really wants to turn with the ball, he can block his own route at the first time. wanted to lure the opponent to kick, but the opponent was not fooled at all, just stood in his position and waited for the support of other teammates.
It's a pity.,If your body is a little better.,It might be easy to deal with such a veteran.,Just lean on it and wipe it with your body.,But now...
Even Aldair's 38-year-old body, as a black man, his body is still not something that Zhang Shu can fight against now.
So, now you have only one choice left.
Seeing that Zhang Shu was blocked by Aldale and stopped dribbling at high speed, Capello, who was standing on the sidelines and watching nervously, breathed a sigh of relief.
The first half of the game is almost over, and if Zhang Shu makes another long-distance goal at this time, it will be a devastating blow to the morale of the Roma team.
In the second half, the Chinese kid needed to be more targeted, he thought to himself.
Fortunately, this time he was blocked by Aldair, thinking of this, Capello's heart was a little relieved, before the season he tried his best to persuade Aldair to play for another year, now it seems that this decision is extremely wise, but unfortunately Aldair is indeed too old, otherwise with his current state, why should he go all over the world to find a reliable central defender.
It seemed that the opponent's attack ended here, and Capello turned around and prepared to sit back in the dugout. But just as he was about to sit down, he heard the exclamations of Roma fans coming from behind him.
In the face of Aldair's impeccable defense, Zhang Shu pulled the ball back with the sole of his foot, and then he made a small back jump of his own to widen the distance between himself and Aldair.
That short distance allowed him to regain the angle to pass and shoot. Without waiting for the opponent to pounce, Zhang Shu pushed the football out with his right foot.
"Zhang's shot!" Fabio shouted.
The ball flew past Aldair's feet and towards the Roma goal once more.
"Don't want to score again!" Standing in front of the goal, Pellizzoli once again pounced towards the football, and this time Zhang Shu's shot was not as big as the previous one. In order to kick the ball out as soon as possible, Zhang Shu did not get enough legroom. So even though the angle of the shot was still tricky, the ball speed was much slower.
Pellizzoli is confident that he will not fail again this time.
He stretched his body in mid-air, stretching his arms as long as he could.
"I won!" Pelizzoli shouted in his heart. His left hand had reached its intended position, quietly waiting for the ball to drop itself into the net.
Compared with the speed of the football flying over, he had more than enough time, so he was not satisfied with blocking Zhang Shu's shot, he also stretched out his right hand in the air, ready to hold the ball firmly with both hands.
"Shall I launch a quick counter-attack from the backfield next?" There was even a moment in his mind where the thought flashed.
But he couldn't wait for that throbbing football.
A foot wearing blue Diadona sneakers suddenly appeared on the flight path of the football, cutting off Pellizzoli's date with the football.
Flying in mid-air, Pelizoli watched as the ball was blocked by that foot, changed direction, and flew into the goal from the middle of the goal.
This time, he didn't even have the thought of shouting "no" in his mind, and there was only a blank article in his mind.
Why! It's not a shot! Why is there someone in that place!
These questions hit his brain and made him forget to act to protect himself. With the net stirred up by the football, Pelizoli slammed down on the goal line with a look of consternation.
"The ball was ... The ball is in! Fabio was also stunned for a second, judging from the route, there was no suspense that the weak push from outside the penalty area was saved by the goalkeeper, but who knew that someone would intervene in the middle.
But he quickly adjusted and regained his passion: "The ball is in!" Before the end of the first half! Brescia rewrites the score to 2-0! It was Robert Baggio who scored the goal! ”
"Baggio in the box cleverly seized the opportunity with a shot that looked like a pass, and he doubled the score for Brescia with a tackle!"
Baggio quickly climbed up after the goal, raising his hands in the Roma penalty area. The rest of the Brescia players swarmed up and surrounded their captain in the centre.
Zhang Shu, who assisted, also ran over, and was pulled into the crowd by Baggio, and everyone hugged happily.
"Hey! Why didn't Robbie score a goal and you didn't press him! Zhang Shu was happy for a while, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, why was it the same goal, only I was pressed!
"Hahahaha, my old bones can't stand your toss like that." Baggio rubbed one hand on Zhang Shu's shoulder and the other hand rubbed his hair.
The others also laughed and rubbed Zhang Shu's hair messy again.
"Hey! Why do you rub my head when Robbie scores! Zhang Shu, who was surrounded in the middle, was even more depressed.
"That's right, why don't we press Zhang." Tonymo rubbed his chin and made an offer that everyone would like.
Facing the malicious eyes of his teammates, Zhang Shu looked around solemnly, and then raised his head forcefully.
His eyes were unwavering, his body stood proudly, and his words were sonorous and powerful.
He said:
"Hello brothers! Please rub it casually! ”
