Chapter 64 The problem that can be solved by winning is not a problem

As time passed, Modena was also a little anxious. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This game is their home stadium, and Brescia also have an all-substitute lineup, if they fail to win the game, won't it be even more auspicious to wait until the next leg to go away?

Brescia can care less about the Coppa Italia game, but Modena is different. Last season, they only succeeded in the last round of relegation, but this season they have performed well, currently sitting in ninth place in the standings with 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses and 14 points, and it looks like the relegation situation is quite good.

The Coppa Italia is not attractive to Brescia, but Modena will be hoping to go far in the Coppa Italia.

For the players in Modena, they did not participate in European competitions and had no problems physically. Playing a few more Coppa Italia games is not a burden for them, but it gives them more opportunities to showcase themselves and improve their chances of being seen by other teams.

Professional footballers are ambitious, and who would want to stay in Modena for the rest of their lives?

And the winner of the Italian Cup is also eligible to participate in the League Cup, for Modena, although the championship is not very hopeful, but generally speaking, the Italian Cup champion and runner-up and even the top 4 European qualifications have already arrived, in this case the qualification for the League Cup can be filled by the later teams.

So with a little bit of hard work and a little luck, if you can make it to the top four, you might even have a chance to play in the UEFA Cup.

So, in order to be able to win this game, Modena once again stepped up their attack.

Now Brescia is not going to attack again, and with a score of 0:0, except for Caracciolo, who has been tirelessly pursuing goals, the other substitutes are still very satisfied.

In such a situation, the scene on the pitch became one-sided, and Viviano had more opportunities to perform.

"Viviano! Nice save! ”

"Oooo What a pity! Modena is just a little bit away! Viviano rubbed the ball out with the tip of his fingers! ”

"Kamala! Shot! Wow! The ball hit the Brescia defender with a change of direction! But Viviano's second reaction was quick! ”

"Skoponi crosses! Aha! The ball was held directly by Viviano! This kind of high ball is not a threat to the 1.95m Viviano, and we see that Kamara, who is already outflanked in the middle, can only go home! ”

.

"Weiwei is knocking out the medicine today!" Zhang Shu looked at the TV, and the pasta on the fork was already cold hanging in the air. During this time, Modena's offensive was gaining momentum, and he forgot about the food in front of him for a while.

"Emiliano is amazing... Turio also lamented that he had been playing with Viviano before, but the youth team and the senior team were completely different things. In addition, the strength of the Brescia youth team is still quite strong, and he has never seen Viviano so full of firepower.

In the past, Viviano was the last reassuring iron gate in Brescia's Under-19 squad, but he was rarely the center of attention. And now, when Brescia, who is all substitutes, faces an all-out Serie A opponent, Viviano is simply a fixed needle, and his saves again and again make his body as if it is shining.

This made Turio's psychology a little melancholy, his two friends, needless to say, he usually spent the most time with Viviano, although he knew that he could only be regarded as an ordinary person compared to his two friends, but today's game was the first time that the difference between him and his friends was so naked in front of him.

This gap is so huge, in the past, he just thought that he was still far from Zhang Shu, but now he realized that even the gap with Viviano was not a distance that could be easily shortened.

Can you really keep up with your friends?

Skipping the Under-19s and being entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the coach had given Turio some confidence, but now he was a little skeptical.

Zhang Shu did not notice Turio's loss, he was basking in the excitement of Viviano's outstanding performance.

"Haha, Vivi is so prone to convulsions, it seems that it's time to meet him in good shape today!"

.

'Brescia are now all down and Modena are frantically besieging their goal, but now it seems that it is a little difficult for Modena to get a goal. The young Viviano was playing for the first time, but he did as if he had been in the back of the net for Brescia for years! He was very steady in this game. ”

Fabio is now focusing more and more on the young goalkeeper of Brescia, on the one hand, because Modena pressed Brescia's attack, Viviano had more opportunities to perform, and on the other hand, he gave a greater sense of security than Brescia's main goalkeeper Castellazzi.

This is an indescribable feeling, some goalkeepers will feel reassuring as long as he stands in front of the goal, and some goalkeepers although his previous performance is not bad, but as long as the opponent shoots, it always makes people feel frightened, not knowing if they will be scored in the next second.

And Viviano is one such goalkeeper.

Viviano had completely let go, and the mistake he made when he first came on the pitch had been forgotten by him. Now he just feels that he can do anything, and no shot can beat him.

Modena had their best chance just before the break, Milaneto's long-range shot from outside the box was blocked by Stankovicius, the ball slowed down and slowly rolled behind the Brescia defence, where Modena striker Ferrari, who had been lying in ambush on the offside line, burst out of the crowd and caught up with the ball before everyone could react.

"Good opportunity! Ferrari catches the ball near the penalty spot! Single-handed! ”

The Brescia defenders were not given a chance to chase back, and before the commentator could speak, Ferrari shot directly with his feet.

The ball spun and flew in an arc towards the right post.

But Viviano reacted faster, and he pounced sideways like a leopard, his tall frame matched by his long arms, sending his palms to the flight path of the football almost instantly. When the ball was about to cross the goal line, his right hand blocked the ball, and the ball instantly lost its forward energy and was about to pop in the opposite direction. But Viviano's other hand arrived immediately, his left hand falling from the sky, his right wrist flipping up, and both hands pressing the ball the turf.

Then, with the help of the force of the body to continue to rush forward, bend the body and bend the arms, and sandwich the soccer ball pressed on the ground between the arms into the semicircle formed by the chest and waist and abdomen.

Viviano !! Banksy saves!! Fabio exclaimed, "Ahhhhhh It's just so beautiful! Viviano made a great save and he denied a goal from Modena! Didn't even give Ferrari a chance to shoot! ”

Ferrari took two more steps forward with the help of inertia after the shot, and he had another sprint when he saw Viviano block his shot, but the next second he stopped and put his hands on his head.

The ball was saved!

He looked at Viviano with an incredulous look in his eyes as if he were looking at a monster.

The rest of the Modena team members were similar to him, they were at a loss, some looked at Ferrari and were surprised that he didn't score such a good chance, and others looked up at the sky, as if wondering if God was joking with them today.

"Modena's luck is so bad! Brescia have fielded all their benches but they are still unable to get a win at their home turf. The young Viviano was called upon to do well in this match! Modena's tidal assault made his show a success! In the Italian youth team, Viviano is seen as the next Toldo, but I don't think he will wait until the age of 30 to become famous like Toldo, and now he is repeating the path of Buffon! ”

Viviano stood up from the ground with the ball in his arms, stretched out a finger and shook it at the disillusioned Ferrari on the opposite side, but Ferrari could not respond to his provocation at this time, and the other teammates quickly surrounded Viviano in the middle, high-fived and slapped his shoulder.

"How did you do it!"

"This save is simply world-class!"

"Emiliano! You're amazing! ”

With Viviano's excellent performance, some teammates have begun to call him by his first name as a sign of intimacy.

Although the Coppa Italia is a two-legged affair, and even if you concede a goal and return to home, there is no chance of catching it back, but the Brescia players acted as if Viviano had saved the winner.

There was silence in the stands, which in the past had mostly happened when Modena was scored or trailed by a large margin, but today the Alberto Praglia Stadium was silenced by the opposition goalkeeper.

"VV is really in the limelight...

Looking at Viviano, who still broadcasts the close-up of the camera after driving the ball out of the TV screen, even Zhang Shu is a little jealous.

.

Viviano's save completely destroyed the Modena players' desire to win. In the remaining minutes, they were never given any more dangerous attacking chances.

Soon, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match.

'The Modena players looked disappointed, yes, they had reason to be disappointed, the number of shots on goal today was 23:11, and Modena had more than double the number of shots on goal, most of which were concentrated in the second half. But those 23 shots brought them 0 goals! Brescia's substitute goalkeeper Agriadi played well in the first half, but the 18-year-old Viviano, the third goalkeeper who came off his bench in the second half, was even more impressive! In the second half, he was high and all of Modena's attacking tactics were in front of him. ”

'I think the pressure should be felt on Brescia's main goalkeeper, Castellazzi, because both substitutes are in such good form that he has to be more convincing if he wants to keep his place. As for Mazzoni, he may have to face a happy problem when Agliaridi returns from injury, and how to allocate the playing time of the three goalkeepers will be a huge challenge for Mazzoni to balance the dressing room. ”

Mazzoni's expression on the broadcast screen was calm, wondering if he was bothered by the issue, as Fabio had claimed.

But for Zhang Shu, this question does not need to be considered at all.

Although Brescia did not win the game, the atmosphere at Tulio's house was even more lively than winning a game.

Everyone was delighted with Viviano's wonderful performance.

"VV is certainly the best!" Listening to Fabio's words in the picture, Zhang Shu shouted loudly in front of the TV.

In his heart, if you want to say that Brescia's weakest link now is really the goalkeeper. Since Sereni left, Castellazzi's performance after returning from loan has been really average.

Brescia have won games this season, except for the game against Lecce, which was a big win, and the other scores are almost all 4:3, 3:2 and so on. If it weren't for the team's attacking outpouring of Serie A, they would never have lost just one game like they are now.

Although there are many reasons for conceding more goals, such as the departure of Appiah and the change of tactics of the team, Castellazzi's lack of strength is also one of them.

If Viviano is the kind of goalkeeper who can hold on to his shots and occasionally make a few must-scores, then Castellazzi's performance this season has been that not only must goals be scored, but also that a few shots that are not threatening will occasionally slip in.

Even if Viviano is his good friend, Zhang Shu does not shy away from supporting him more.

Chinese people say that the virtuous do not avoid relatives.

It's a pity that Zhang Shu is not Mazoni, even if he supports his friends, it is useless. The right to decide who can play in any team always rests with the head coach of the team – and that's the case most of the time, with occasional exceptions, such as the Chinese national team.

'Emiliano is mainly too young and it's normal that Mazzoni doesn't have enough trust in him. Mr. Gallo shook his head. "But it doesn't matter, as long as Emiliano continues to play, I'm sure he'll be impressed."

"But Vivi's chances are too few." Zhang Shu said. He performed so well as a substitute for Baggio, and it was only after changing positions that he got a steady chance to play. But there is only one goalkeeper position, and where does Viviano find a chance to perform?

'I don't think the team will be too serious about the Coppa Italia this season, and if Agliadei is injured, Emiliano should have no problem playing in the Coppa Italia. Mr. Gallo analyzed. 'If we win the next game, Emiliano will have at least three more games.'

Mr. Gallo's words made Zhang Shumao pause.

"So, if you want VV to have more opportunities to perform, you just need to keep winning?"

When the problem is reduced to a win, it becomes simpler.

For Zhang Shu, the problem that can be solved by winning is not a problem.

He touched his chin and began to think slowly about how to convince Mazzoni to allow him to participate in the Coppa Italia as well.
