Chapter 43: You Think I'm Wasting My Time?
Zhang Shu's hands on Pirlo's shoulders immediately felt the other party's intention to turn around, and the power in his chest began to weaken, and everything his body felt told him that Pirlo was really going to turn around. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But football isn't there yet? At this time, turning around and giving up football to yourself, is there any other effect?
So Zhang Shu waited quietly in place, anyway, as long as the football was not hooked by Pirlo, he just needed to respond to all changes with the same.
Pirlo turned halfway through, and in the corner of his eye, he could already see Zhang Shu behind him.
However, unlike the picture he imagined the other party to turn around with him for the first time, Zhang Shu stood in place and didn't move. In the face of the football flying straight away, Zhang Shu stretched out his right foot to stop the ball directly, and then followed the step and walked out.
"Zhang Shu! Nice break! Huang Jian Xiang shouted excitedly into the microphone. In this game, although Zhang Shu has been limiting Pirlo well, he has not yet made a clean tackle like this. He is not a specialized defensive player, his defensive awareness is not high, and compared to breaking the ball, Zhang Shu's first thought when defending is still to the point of not letting the opponent feel comfortable with the ball and passing.
Ignoring Pirlo, who turned around and forced a stop halfway behind him and fell to the ground, Zhang Shu took the ball and strode towards Milan's half.
----------------------------
Seeing Pirlo being cut off, Seedorf, who was closest to them, quickly rushed over. Normally, when Pirlo is at the back, Gattuso will be by his side to protect him, and when Pirlo assists up front, it is Seedorf who provides cover for him. Two excellent physical interceptions at the back are the biggest reliance on Ancelotti's courage to put Pirlo, who is not very good defensively, in the midfield position.
Zhang Shu didn't wait for Seedorf to get close to him, he knew that as long as he was pasted by Seedorf, his body would definitely be the result of being squeezed away and losing the ball. He passed the ball directly to Baggio in the front court, then accelerated and continued to run forward.
Baggio didn't dribble the ball after receiving it, and Gattuso was pressing on him. Baggio didn't stop the ball and knocked the ball back to Zhang Shu, who shook off Seedorf, and ran towards the open space left by Kaladze on the left wing.
At this time, Gattuso was embarrassed, whether it was better to continue to follow Baggio or to fight Zhang Shu with the ball with Seedorf, who was chasing back. After weighing the pros and cons, he switched his target and ran up to Zhang Shu, who was rushing forward with the ball, leaving Baggio behind Maldini and Nesta. After all, the person with the ball is the biggest threat.
Milan's defense is indeed very tacit, Gattuso and the back line did not communicate, but at the same time as he made the decision, his teammates in the back line also made the same decision, Nesta quickly ran to the left side to entangle Baggio, and the right side of the West Mich shrank into the box to fill Nesta's position, and Maldini formed a barrier.
Simic is a central defender in the national team and is no stranger to this position.
----------------------------
In the eyes of most people, this counterattack has been strangled in the cradle. Baggio has been targeted by Nesta, and while Baggio is desperate to get rid of him, it's almost impossible with his running ability. And Zhang Shu, in order to avoid the encirclement and suppression of Seedorf and Gattuso, was also forced to the position of the right side.
"It's a shame that Brescia was too conservative and didn't put in any other players to support Zhang Shu and Baggio in this counter-attack, so that the two of them faced almost the entire Milan backline." Huang Jianxiang said regretfully.
What should I do now? Zhang Shu kept thinking in his head. Such an opportunity will hardly be repeated in this game, and he is really unwilling to give up like this. Even against the mighty Milan, he still did not want to give up the slightest hope of victory.
In a matter of seconds, Gattuso and Seedorf would be sandwiched in the middle, and with their defensive prowess, it would be impossible for them to protect the ball without their speed on the ball. And Baggio didn't have a chance to receive his own pass under Nesta's close defence, and a healthy Nesta was an almost flawless defender.
If only there was another teammate as a point of play... Just let me pass the ball out and get rid of the defenders... He can just stop the ball...
Just stop the ball!
Zhang Shu's eyes suddenly lit up, and then, in the slow time and space, he carefully selected the hitting part with the arch of his foot, tried his best to control the precision of the direction, and kicked the football to the corner of the bottom line of the court.
There was no one there.
"Zhang Shu kicked the ball to the bottom line under the pressure of Milan's defense, well... In the absence of a chance, Zhang Shu wisely chose to waste a little more time. Huang Jian Xiang guessed. He chose to think in a better direction, so that Chinese fans would not think that this was Zhang Shu's mistake under heavy pressure. This speculation is still more reasonable, at least much more reasonable than the explanation that said "empty big" as "sealing and moving" many years later.
After kicking the ball out, Zhang Shu also ran with the football, and Gattuso and Seedorf followed him for a while before giving up. The power of this ball is not large, but it is absolutely impossible to chase the ball before it goes out of the bottom line, so why waste your physical strength by following Zhang Shu senselessly. After half a season of competition, their physical condition is not very good, and it is a little bit to save a little physical strength.
There was a strange scene on the field, except for Zhang Shu, who was chasing the football, the other players turned around and slowly ran towards Brescia's half, Dida stood leisurely by the goalpost, behind the billboard behind him, a Milanese ball boy had already prepared a football, just waiting for the football on the field to go out of bounds and then throw the ball to Dida, so that Milan could kick the goal kick as soon as possible.
The football continued to bounce forward, Zhang Shu was still running ten meters behind the football, although the speed of the ball had slowed down, but the distance from the bottom line was very close, in the eyes of others, Zhang Shu's behavior was meaningless except for wasting physical strength.
--------------------------
Finally, the football reached the bottom line before Zhang Shu chased itγγγγγγ
Then he hit the corner flagpole impartially, bounced into the field, and stopped quietly in the corner circle.
Everyone was stunned.
The linesman who stood aside and waited for the football to go out of bounds was also stunned, he had been watching whether the football was out of the sideline or the bottom line, and the two ways of raising the flag outside the boundary were different. As a result, the football hit the corner flagpole, and he began to search his mind for the training he had received.
A second later he reflected that the situation did not raise the flag.
Football is not out of bounds!
Zhang Shu finally caught up with the football, he stretched out his foot and hooked the ball towards the Milan penalty area.
