The match against Perugia has a special meaning for Zhang Shu. Half a season ago, www.biquge.info he gained his first senior experience against Perugia. He also scored his first career goal.

In that game, he was replaced by Mazzoni in the 75th minute of the second half, and since that game, he has been out of control in Serie A and has become a hot rookie king. He has won the cheers of thousands of fans, but he has also experienced the recent criticism from the crowd.

And now, as if it were yesterday as if it were yesterday again, he is still sitting on the bench, waiting to be sent to the pitch by the coach.

Time has come full circle, and it has returned to square one.

The last time when the overall situation was decided, it was Baggio who took the initiative to apply for a substitution that gave him the opportunity to play, and now, will there be such a good opportunity?

Now Zhang Shu remembers the feeling of sitting on the bench for the first time five months ago, when he was almost not too extravagant about the last game. And now, he almost couldn't wait for Mazzoni's call to him.

Be sure to lock in the win as soon as possible! He silently cheered up his teammates in his heart, praying for a repeat of the good fortune he had against Perugia last time.

But the game didn't go in the direction Zhang had hoped, and Brescia, who had beaten Perugia at home in the first half of the season, couldn't find a way to score today.

Since Brescia have risen up the table, more and more teams in the lower middle of the table have opted to defend solidly against them. Even at home, Perugia doesn't look to have any appetite for Brescia.

In this way, many newspapers have commented on Brescia, and when opponents stop despising them and see them as underdogs who can score three points, Brescia's offensive side has doubled as much difficulty as it was before when they wanted to score.

Just five minutes into the first half, Pep Guardiola sent a good through pass for Toney, but Toney's stop was not perfect, only slightly increasing the time to handle the ball, and immediately three people surrounded Tony. In the end, the ball was tackled out of the penalty area by Perugia defender Milanis.

Perugia was in a 3-5-2 formation today, but it became 5-3-2 as soon as the game began, with the two wing-backs dropping back deep to guard against Schop and Finipini's low crosses, the three centre-backs defending Toney in all directions, while their two midfielders kept an eye on Baggio's movements.

Seeing that the frontcourt players were caught in Perugia's crowd tactics, Mazzoni waved his hand, allowing the midfielder Matuzaren to increase the strength of the forward insertion.

The change played a role, as Baggio went straight at the top of the box in the 17th minute of the second half, and Mattuzalen got a one-on-one chance with the goalkeeper from the back, only to find his shot from a tight angle that hit the side-netting.

It was also Brescia's best chance to date. When the football was swept up by the net, it looked like a goal had been scored from the bench on Brescia's side, and Zhang Shu and Appiah, who was resting today, had already jumped up from the bench, but the result was an empty joy.

In this long tug-of-war, until the 75th minute of the game, the score remained 0:0 on the field.

Zhang Shu didn't have much hope for himself to play, in order not to let him have bad thoughts, Igor was entrusted by Mazzoni to talk to him before the game, telling him that as long as the overall situation of the game has been decided, he will definitely be given a chance to play. But in its current form, that chance is getting slimmer.

Zhang Shu knew that Mazzoni wanted to relieve the pressure for himself, and choose a time when he was ahead or behind by a big score before letting himself play. He was grateful for Mazzoni's love for him, but he couldn't resist the desire to help the team.

He writhed irritably on the bench, making noises like nails in his seat, trying to get the coach's attention.

But Mazzoni's attention was focused on the field, and he didn't notice Zhang Shu's small movements at all.

So Zhang Shu had no choice but to find another way, he got up from his seat, and dangled in front of Mazzoni's eyes while warming up in the open space in front of the bench.

"Zhang! You're blocking us from watching the game! Igor shouted at him, "Warm up and go to the warm-up area over there!" ”

As if he had just been reminded by him, Zhang Shu smiled at Igor, turned around and ran to his side, squeezed into the gap between Igor and Mazoni, and sat down.

"What are you doing here? Don't squeeze, hey! Don't squeeze it! Igor grumbled as he moved his body to make room for him. What are you doing here! ”

"Coach Igor! I found that there was a big gap in Perugia's ribs, and we haven't been able to take advantage of it. Zhang Shu said loudly to Igor. The deputy of the team always pursues the bottom, why not cut inside! ”

As he spoke, he stole a sneak glance at Mazzoni's reaction out of the corner of his eye.

Igor smiled, this kid, don't you think that no one else can see what he means? He's taking the initiative to ask for battle.

However, Zhang Shu's analysis is not wrong, Perugia played 3 defenders today, increasing the protection of the center of the penalty area, but there is indeed a lot of gap in the combination of central defenders and fullbacks.

But that was based on Zhang's previous performances, and now that he is in a slump, can he still pose a threat to Perugia's defence after he comes on the pitch?

In any case, the decision to make a substitution is still in the hands of Mazzoni, "Carlo? Igor tentatively called Mazzoni.

Mazzoni didn't look back, his eyes still fixed on the players running on the pitch. "Zhang, in such a short period of time, we won't have too many opportunities." "You should know what the newspapers will say if you're still underwhelming, are you sure you still want to play? ”

"I'm sure! Of course I did! ”

Zhang Shu rushed out of the bench with an arrow step, and then turned to face Mazzoni and Igor.

"Coach! I want to play football! He said this famous line adapted from "Slam Dunk" with a firm look in his eyes.

In the 80th minute of the second half, Brescia used up their last substitution, and No. 28 Zhang Shu came on to replace No. 18 Filippini.

"Zhang! Come on! When he got off the field, Filippini hugged Zhang Shu hard and said in his ear. I'm sure you can do it! ”

The Brescia players knew about the pressure on Zhang Shu recently, but they couldn't help him much, and Filippini could only say two words of encouragement to cheer for Zhang Shu.

"Don't worry, team vice!" Zhang Shu looked at the court eagerly. "I'm hungry for my shooting boots!"

He bent down and touched the turf, which, unlike Rigamonti's, was longer on the Reinado Curry pitch in Perugia, where the ball would be a little more resistant to rolling.

But it doesn't matter, Zhang Shu is not participating in the Chinese national team now, and the length of the turf has almost no effect on him.

He rushed onto the pitch in a sprint, and although he was still a starter in the last game, he was only away from the pitch for more than 70 minutes, and he felt like he had met a lover he hadn't seen for many years. He sprinted hard across the pitch, feeling the turfy air on his face, and he was intoxicated by the sensation.

Zhang Shu remembered his first time in the game, so he silently recited a sentence in his heart at that time.

Serie A! Here I go again!

Seeing Zhang Shu being substituted, Perugia quickly changed their defensive strategy. In front of the right wing-back Zemaria, midfielder Blasi also approached the right side and made a gesture of supporting Zemaria at any time.

Their impression of Zhang Shu is quite deep, last season they just suffered a loss of not paying enough attention to this Chinese teenager, although Zhang Shu's state has not been good recently, but be prepared, Perugia will not pin all the hopes of maintaining peace on Zhang Shu's state.

Perugia coach Kosmi nodded with satisfaction when he saw that the players on the field had changed their defensive focus according to the pre-match arrangement. Even though Zhang Shu has been announced by the media that his future is not "bright", the players still did not despise their opponents and did their job as they should be. It proved that their control of the team was still high, and even in a less important game, the players continued to follow their demands.

Perugia currently sit in 10th place in the league and have lost hope of qualifying for the UEFA Cup, while also having little chance of relegation. Cosmi is very pleased to be able to maintain such a strong cohesion in such a desireless and wantless mentality.

Time is running out, and that's probably all there is to it for this game. He turned around and sat back in his seat.

Zhang Shu received a pass from Pep Guardiola shortly after coming on the field. He also glanced at the game time displayed on the big screen above the pitch as he turned, and he probably had a little more than 10 minutes left after injury time.

Well, it only takes one goal, and you have to hurry up a little bit.

He took the ball and rushed towards Perugia's defence.

Seeing Zhang Shu take the ball, Zemaria pressed up, and he stuck in front of Zhang Shu's right, guarding against his in-cut.

Almost all Serie A managers now know that when Zhang Shu is on the left wing, the likelihood of going down is almost negligible compared to cutting inside. So as long as you see Zhang Shu dribbling the ball, just guard against his inward breakthrough.

Perugia's players and coaches felt they had done well enough to fight even against Zhang Shu, who was in perfect form.

But they didn't know that in this short half season, Zhang Shu's strength had improved much more than when they first met.

Facing Zemaria, Zhang Shu flicked the ball outward with the outside instep of his right foot, and then used his left foot to run towards the middle. Although Zemalia was ready, he was still half a body distance away from Zhang Shu's sudden burst of speed.

Then before Brassi came over, Zhang Shu directly shot with his right foot. The ball flew in a beautiful arc towards the far corner of the goal.

As soon as the ball flew out, Blasi's tackle grazed his right foot. If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Shu's body was still in the accelerated state of the new skill when he shot the goal, this shot would definitely have been blocked.

"Zhang... Shot! Nice save! ”

In order to get out of the ball as soon as possible, Zhang Shu's shot was not very sufficient, Perugia's goalkeeper was very focused, and in the face of a long-range shot that was tricky but not fast at this angle, he lightly stretched his arm and knocked the ball out of the bottom line with his fist.

Zhang's shot was a vague reminder of his previous style, and since he started playing on the left wing-back, it has become almost his signature skill to cut inside and shoot into the far corner. Statistically, his scoring rate from this position at the edge of the box is quite high, but we have hardly seen him in the previous games. Judging from the first shot today, the familiar Zhang seems to be back! ”

Today's narration is not Fabio, but Giuseppe, who is good at collecting gossip. Since Perugia's chairman Gauci Jr. often breaks some off-field lace news, which is suitable for playing his strengths, he is the referee of Perugia's games most of the time.

With Zhang Shu's first shot, he began to explain to the audience the off-field news that happened to Zhang Shu in the past half month.

After half a season of collecting information on Zhang Shu, Giuseppe will no longer be as unpredictable as when he first commented on Zhang Shu's game.

Zhang Shu has already confirmed that while Perugia's players still seem to be taking themselves seriously enough, their awareness of their own quality is still stuck in the first meeting between the two sides.

This gives him more chances to surprise against defenders.

When he faced Zemaria's defense again, he made full use of the opponent's inertial thinking, and after making an inward feint that caused Zemaria to shift his focus to the right, Zhang Shu took the ball to the left and resolutely broke through to the bottom line.

Although Zemalia was shaken, he quickly turned and chased after him. Although he was still more than a meter away from Zhang Shu, he was not worried.

Zhang Shu's dominant foot is the right foot, and if you want to cross, you must dunk the ball back, and you only need to catch up with him when he smashes the ball.

But Zhang Shu did not smash the ball, and after breaking through to the near baseline, he drew the football with a flower insert foot with his right foot.

Zemalia didn't expect that Zhang Shu, who almost never went down, would actually go down, and he crossed directly without smashing the ball.

"This... It's nonsense, right? He thought in his heart that the power of the flower arrangement foot was definitely not as big as the direct cross, and Zhang Shu's cross was not passed at all, and the football was almost flying into the penalty area against the turf. Toney's good header was completely unplayed, and the cross looked more like a mistake.

He looked back at the middle of the road, and from his line of sight, he could only see Tony caught between two people, and the image made him feel reassured.

"Zhang's cross." Giuseppe's tone was flat, and in his opinion, Zhang Shu seemed to be back to the form of the previous games. When you play the ball, you don't use your brain at all, you rely on the subconscious movements of your body, and such a reluctant and hasty cross is completely brutal, in order to complete the data of a cross, there is no tactical intention included in it at all.

The ball is not being passed and the speed of the ball is so slow, how can there be a chance to score?

So when he was commenting, he just said it routinely, without the slightest excitement about thinking that it was a threatening attack.

Only Zhang Shu looked at the football flying close to the ground and showed a smile.

A sloppy cross? It was a deliberate choice. (To be continued.) )
