Zhang Jun looked at everything in front of him with wide eyes, just now a fierce tackle by a defender from Palermo knocked Fiorentina striker Cocuni to the ground, but the referee just waved his hand to get him up and did not give any warning to the tackle player. And it's a common occurrence in competitions.

Is this the second division? Zhang Jun repeatedly asked himself in his heart, can I persevere in such a competition environment? Will it be possible to finish the season safely without injury? Will I be able to succeed here?

"Masmo! What are you still doing lying on the ground? Get up and go back to defense! Mondonico yelled from the sidelines into the arena.

Cocuny didn't complain either, getting up from the ground and running back.

Everybody's used to it...... Zhang Jun had the situation in his mind about the virtual appearance, and he wanted to see if he could adapt to it. But in the end he gave up, because he could only imagine in his head, and it was impossible to determine whether he could avoid any serious damage.

If you want to know if you can do it, it's useless to just think about it off the field, so let's try it when the time comes.

It was an Italian second division game, Fiorentina hosted Palermo, and after 30 minutes of the first half, neither side achieved anything, and the score was deadlocked at 0:0.

Zhang Jun was not a starter as many Chinese media speculated before the game, and he was put on the bench by Mondonico. But sitting on the bench at Fiorentina and sitting on the bench at AC Milan are completely different moods.

At the time, he was restless about every second he wasted on the bench, but now he sits comfortably on the sidelines, observing everything around him and not rushing to play.

Unless the coach lets him play.

"Zhang, go warm up now, you can go at the beginning of the second half." Mondonico suddenly turned his head and said to Zhang Jun beside him.

Zhang Jun was a little surprised, he didn't expect to appear like this. He thought the manager would let him warm up in the last five minutes, and the outcome of this game has nothing to do with him. His chance should be in the next league game.

Looking at this posture now, it seems that he wants to take on the heavy responsibility, go up to attack the city, and win the victory for the team.

The first time he appeared, he was given such high hopes without saying hello, Zhang Jun shook his head lightly with a smile, got up and took off his coat and ran to warm up.

What kind of greeting should he give the Fiorentina fans?

※※※

Zhang Jun was pulled in front of Mondonico, and in the noisy stadium, he listened to him and loudly assigned tasks to him with body language: "You replace Masmo and partner with Christian, he is on the right, you are on the left." You have only one task on the field: to score goals! Got it? Don't care about the defense, just the goal! ”

He patted Zhang Jun on the shoulder, and then pointed to the field: "Let's go on the field!" ”

Before the game, Zhang Jun always thought that when he was about to play, he must have everything ready. Now, it's not clear if he's all ready, because he feels like the first game gave him half-time and something he didn't expect.

But...... Zhang Jun tucked the purple Fiorentina jersey into his shorts, and since he was already standing here, he must be ready, and he couldn't hesitate a little in his heart.

I can do it, no matter how fierce the competition is, I can do it! I can score, and going to the second division doesn't mean I'm down, on the contrary, I'm going to be reborn from the second division!

Watching Cocuny limp off the field, Zhang Jun took a deep breath and spit it out: Sophie, watch me play!

After silently reciting this sentence in his heart, Zhang Jun couldn't help but laugh a little, how long has it been since he said this?

When Masmo got off the court, he was a little unwilling to high-five Zhang Jun, then put on the coat handed by the staff and sat back on the bench.

Zhang Jun ran directly to the front line, and at halftime, he could see that Rigano was in a hurry, perhaps eager to show his strength in front of him.

He doesn't seem to like himself very much, can you cooperate with him?

The number Zhang Jun wears is his favorite No. 11. When he came to Florence, he was very surprised to find that no one in the Florence team chose No. 11, even if someone had a number as big as 85, and no one wore No. 11.

Being able to wear his favorite number to compete makes Zhang Jun feel good.

Di Livio stopped Zhang Jun, who was running in front of him: "Are you ready?" Class B can be very different from Class A. ”

Zhang Jun made an "ok" gesture to him.

And Rigano always looked at Zhang Jun with a disdainful look, most of the first three days of training were physical exercises, and he didn't see how powerful this Chinese kid was.

Zhang Jun also knows that there are many people in the team who have the same opinion as Ricano, and now is not the time for him to be modest, and he must show his strength as soon as possible to prove it to others.

However, he has always been a center forward, and this time he had to face a situation of two center forwards. Mondonico didn't say to him and Rigano who would be the main attackers, just let them score. If Zhang Jun remembers correctly, at halftime, the head coach also said this to the somewhat impatient Ricano.

It seems that the two of them are going to work together, but ...... Zhang Jun remembered that his hand was pinched by Rigano, and he felt that it seemed to be a little difficult.

Rigano's muscular level can be roughly inferred from what his surname is, and it may be difficult for him to change his attitude towards himself.

In the first attack, Maspero made a straight shot in the middle, and there was an incredible hole in the middle of the Palermo backline, which was a great opportunity for Fiorentina. But both Jang Jun and Rigano only watched the ball and ignored their position in each other. As a result, the two inevitably collided together, and the ball was naturally lost.

This caused a wave of disgruntled boos from the stands at Frankie Field. In the eyes of fans, it is natural that the newcomer Zhang Jun is not good, and he does not have a tacit understanding with the veteran player Rigano at all.

In this boo, Rigano was also a little annoyed, and he waved his hand vigorously to Zhang Jun: "Will it run the position?" Bump into your teammates, you're still an amateur! ”

In the face of this obviously malicious verbal attack, Zhang Jun in the past would definitely not be able to bear this breath. But now, he just shook his head and smiled bitterly and walked away silently.

It's a real headache to have such a teammate.

※※※

"It seems that the two of them still lack tacit understanding." Assistant coach Bottoretto said to Mondonico, who was beside him, looking at the somewhat abnormal situation on the field.

"It's not just a lack of tacit understanding." Mondonico was well aware of the relationship between the two, but he was going to force the two of them together. "Whether we can win this game depends on the performance of the two of them."

"Why don't you make some other adjustments?" Bottoretto frowned, a little worried about the manager's composure.

"No, it doesn't necessarily work to make adjustments. If the relationship between the two of them is not handled well, then Fiorentina's promotion to the first division this season is just another dream. ”

※※※

Another opportunity! When Maspero dribbled horizontally in front of the penalty area, he was clever enough to find that there was another gap in the middle, and the midfielder's habit of letting him pass the ball to the space for the first time, as long as the ball could pass, any striker could insert it to form a one-knife duel.

Fiorentina fans cheered for the brilliant pass, while the Palermo defenders were flustered.

But the ball did pass smoothly, but the man did not insert it. Zhang Jun and Rigano were staring at each other in surprise.

They all thought the other was going to catch the ball!

There was another round of boos.

Naturally, Rigano was also very angry, and he opened his mouth to scold. But Zhang Jun suddenly thought of something, and he hurriedly waved his hand and took the initiative to take responsibility: "I'm sorry, my problem!" This action made Rigano unable to scold when he came to his lips, so he had to spit on the ground angrily. thinks he's unlucky, who let him have such a partner?

Zhang Jun has another idea, he is willing to take the initiative to take responsibility for the failure of this attack, because he suddenly thought that neither of them planned to catch the ball, although it was a lack of tacit understanding. But from another point of view, I didn't catch the ball because I thought Rigano would take the initiative, so I gave him the opportunity. So is this the case with Ricano? Maybe he also wanted to give me the opportunity to have such a misunderstanding.

Thinking about it this way, this muscular man is not so bad. At least sometimes he thinks about his teammates.

Zhang Jun thinks that he is a new player, so it is appropriate to maintain the necessary respect for the veteran players. In particular, these veteran players who fought for Fiorentina in the lower leagues without paying for it really deserve their respect.

Since Rigano is now the team's top scorer, let's sacrifice myself for the time being and assist him. It's not like you can only shoot.

※※※

After the last two lessons, Maspero didn't dare to make a direct pass in the middle anymore, and he distributed the ball more on both sides, either to Rigano or to Zhang Jun. The two are in completely different directions, and there will only be a situation where they can't catch the ball, but they are not afraid of making jokes because of the lack of tacit understanding.

Of course, it was given to Rigano more times than it was passed to Zhang Jun.

This time in front of the penalty area, after receiving the ball passed to him by Maspero, Rigano suddenly got up and shot from a distance!

The Palermo goalkeeper was highly focused, punched the ball out with both fists, corner kick!

Although the goal did not go in, the Fiorentina fans still cheered loudly for Ricano.

He's so popular here, it's no wonder fans and media call him the "new god of war". Zhang Jun looked around at the stands, there was no good fruit to eat against such popular people, and if he didn't want to be isolated like he was in Milan, he had to learn to have a good relationship with these people.

In the past, Zhang Jun thought that as long as he proved his strength on the court, he could smoothly integrate into a team. As a result, his experience in Milan taught him that it is not so easy to get along with people, and it is 10,000 times more difficult than scoring a hat-trick with "Dragon" in a match.

Someone has to make a sacrifice.

Corner kick is taken out, back point!

Zhang Jun appeared correctly at the landing point of the ball, he jumped up, and there was not a single Palermo player around! If he shoots, then with his head work, the chances of scoring are not small.

The goalkeeper knew that this was a goalscorer from AC Milan, and he couldn't underestimate it, so he hurriedly moved his feet to the back to block his angle.

As a result, the plan will have to be changed. Zhang Jun jumped in the air, staring at the goalkeeper's every movement, and glanced at the middle of the goal, which looked a little empty because he was at the back point, because the defenders were rushing towards him.

In the midst of this chaos, in that void, Zhang Jun saw a purple figure, it was No. 9 Ricano, a strong man.

Without the slightest hesitation or considering whether it would be good for him to give up the scoring opportunity, he strained his neck and ferried the football to the middle!

Neither the defenders nor the goalkeeper could touch the ball and let the ball fly to Rigano in the middle of nowhere.

Rigano only saw the ball coming, and didn't pay attention to who passed it. He saw that the height and speed of the ball were moderate, and he didn't think about it, a rush to the top!

The football flew into the empty goal, and only then did the goalkeeper turn his body around and see the ball hit the net.

“gooooooooooooooooooal！！” Frankie Field erupts with a huge roar!

Rigano was excited after scoring the goal and rushed to the corner flag to hold the flagpole in celebration. Even the celebration was learned from Batistuta, Zhang Jun watched his teammates running towards him, hesitated, and finally chose to stand on the periphery, watching them laugh.

Rigano doesn't seem to like him now, and it would be too embarrassing to rush forward and show too much affection, in case he was rejected.

After celebrating with everyone, Rigano just glanced at Zhang Jun in the distance, and did not come up to celebrate.

Zhang Jun smiled bitterly, fortunately he didn't go up just now, he was prescient.

※※※

Mondonico also had a headache, it seemed that Zhang Jun's active assist did not win Ricano's favor, if this was not possible, he had no choice for a while.

It really takes two people on the field to solve this problem.

Thankfully, we're still ahead.

※※※

Zhang Jun will think about how to deal with his relationship with Rigano when he is playing dead ball. In the past, when he was playing football, no matter where he was, he only thought about how to get the football into the opponent's door, and he didn't care about anything else. It makes him feel tired like this now, but he has to do it, otherwise how can he stand alone in this strange environment?

He learned a lot from his months in Milan, maybe he didn't know it when he was there, but now in Florence he is starting to understand a little bit.

How naïve he was before!

It's not realistic to mature in a few days, in a game, but he can work on that.

Palermo counter-attacked a bit fiercely after conceding a goal, and Fiorentina's defense suffered its biggest crisis since the start of the game. Mondonico didn't want this situation to last long, because the team would have to concede goals sooner or later. He stood on the sidelines and shouted to the two strikers to make a little bit of effort up front, to put pressure on Palermo and not to get carried away.

Both Zhang Jun and Rigano understand that the best defense is offense.

But one person is obviously not going to make much of a move in front of this, they have to cooperate, they have to put aside their prejudices, and they have to behave like a pair of partners, not opponents.

Maspero finally had a chance to pass forward, and he only saw Rigano beckon in front of him, and immediately shifted with a diagonal pass.

Rigano wanted to stop the ball, but he felt someone defending behind him, and he couldn't turn around when he stopped. He turned his head to find someone, just in time to see Zhang Jun running towards him on the side.

Do you want to cooperate?

He knocked the ball from Maspero directly to Zhang Jun, who came up.

However, Zhang Jun was also followed by a Palermo player, and he could not turn around.

"Pass it to me again!" Rigano beckoned to him, and he had turned and ran.

Jang Jun immediately passed the ball back to Rigano, who turned around and inserted it. But Rigano didn't completely get out of the defense, there was a defender behind him, and the person who was defending Zhang Jun in front of him also pounced on him.

Without any thought, Rigano flicked his right ankle and the ball went around the Palermo defender in front of him and passed straight diagonally forward.

Zhang Jun also turned around and thrust forward in understanding!

Two two-over-one in a row, Zhang Jun and Ricano's wonderful cooperation!

Zhang Jun broke through, there was only one central defender and goalkeeper in front of him, and it was basically a single knife!

Opportunity in Florence!

The fans at Frankie Stadium burst into cheers.

Zhang Jun received the ball, and at this moment, he had a feeling of high spirits again. There are only two people in front of you plus the goalkeeper, which is nothing, I want to score! I'm going to score!

With his left foot, he threw the ball forward, his body widened, and his long hair fluttered in the wind.

The last defender pounced, and looking at his strong body, it seemed that he was going to use a foul to keep Zhang Jun out of the box. But Zhang Jun won't give him this kind of opportunity, his upper body is shaking, so that the other party can't judge where he wants to break through, just when he hesitates, Zhang Jun uses his left foot to flick the ball to the left, and at the same time kicks the ground with his right foot, and his body moves to the left sharply!

In the eyes of the defenders, it was as if Zhang Jun had disappeared in that instant! He reached in vain to pull, but he caught nothing but air.

A burst of amazement!

In this way, Zhang Jun easily broke through the defender, and he will face the goalkeeper.

Palermo's goalkeeper abandoned the goal when Zhang Jun was in a confrontation with a defender, and he wanted to catch Zhang Jun off guard. But Zhang Jun moved faster than him, he just rushed to the front of the penalty area, Zhang Jun looked up and saw that he was too far forward, so he directly rubbed his right foot, the football flew high, drew a beautiful arc, crossed the goalkeeper's head, and then fell into the empty goal in the growing cheers!

The ball is in!!

Frankie Field is boiling for the second time!

Zhang Jun scored his first goal in the second division! First goal in Fiorentina!

Listening to the deafening cheers, Rigano regretted it somewhat. That opportunity just now, if you rely on your body to squeeze hard, it is not without a chance. Maybe the cheers now are dedicated to yourself.

Why did I pass the ball to him again?

Just when Rigano regretted it, Zhang Jun rushed towards him, and then hugged him, shouting: "Pass beautifully!" Thank you so much! ”

Then the other teammates couldn't help but say that they also hugged the two of them tightly, and Rigano couldn't push Zhang Jun away if he wanted to refuse.

He and Zhang Jun became partners in this way.

In fact...... This Chinese kid isn't that annoying either......

※※※

"Gianni, look! You just said that the two of them lack tacit understanding, but they assisted each other in these two goals! Mondonico excitedly said to assistant coach Bottoretto. What makes him so excited is not only that Fiorentina is now leading 2-0, but also because of the cooperation between Zhang Jun and Ricano. "As long as there is a tacit understanding between the two of them, our hopes of being promoted to the first division will increase tenfold! Half of the league is still there! ”

In the last game, Fiorentina relied on the tacit cooperation of the two strikers to win Palermo 2:0 at home. For their dream of returning to the first division, a solid footprint has been stepped on.

For Zhang Jun, this match was extremely important for him, but he made it through. There was a goal, an assist, and the trust of the fans was earned.

Most importantly, his relationship with Rigano gradually improved.

※※※

Zhang Jun was interviewed by Chinese journalists outside the training ground, and he was caught in such an encirclement just after the training session, because he scored in his first Serie B game, which added to the already dwindling attention.

When Rigano passed by them, he was pulled in by Zhang Jun.

"Introduction, Brute; Ricano, my striker partner, friend! Zhang Jun smiled at the reporters in Chinese, and someone standing stupidly on the side didn't know why Zhang Jun pulled him over.

If you used to interview reporters who often interviewed Zhang Jun, you would definitely have such a feeling when you saw Zhang Jun at this time: How long has it been since I saw Zhang Jun with such a relaxed smile?

It seems that Fiorentina does seem to be a better fit for him than Milan.

The next day, this photo of the two will appear in Chinese sports newspapers and on the Internet, and people will know that Zhang Jun now has a friend, his name is "Manniu".

※※※

"Brute, why don't you like people to call you the 'new god of war'?" Sitting on a bench in the locker room, Zhang Jun dried his hair and asked Rigano who was lying opposite.

Because Zhang Jun deadlifted him to accompany him for the interview, by the time they returned to the locker room, there was no one left.

"Why? If you don't like it, you don't like it Rigano put a white towel over his face.

"There's always a reason why you don't like it, right?" Zhang Jun shrugged, "Many people would love to get this nickname." ”

"If you like it, I can give it to you."

"Uh, no. We're a whole different kind of shooter, and that nickname suits your style. Zhang Jun was afraid that Rigano would misunderstand, so he hurriedly waved his hand.

"I've been in Fiorentina for three years because my style of play is a bit like Gabriel; Batistuta, that's why people gave me such a nickname. At first I was happy and complacent about it, you know what that means. But then I found out that I was naïve, and Gabriel played for Fiorentina for ten years before he got the title of 'God of War', and I was only three years old. Gabriel is my idol and goal, and I would like to one day erect a statue of me outside of Frankie and retire here. But I just don't want to be called the 'new god of war', do you know why? In fact, it is very simple, there is only one God of War, and it is unique. The so-called 'new God of War' is just a botched sequel, and I'll never be as great a player as Gabriel. Ricano's words may sound a little unwilling, but in fact, he is very sincere in recognizing the gap between himself and Batistuta.

Zhang Jun was silent, he thought of himself and Fan from Ricano's words; Mr. Basten's relationship.

When he was in the Netherlands, he was always compared to "Basten second", and he was as Rigano put it: complacent. Ah, I can be compared to Mr. Basten!

So he desperately imitated Basten, and even when he chose his future direction, he was influenced by Basten and joined AC Milan.

Now that he has left Milan, it is natural that he has diverged from the path that Basten once walked. Is this a reminder that he can never be a player like Basten in the purple Fiorentina shirt? Because Marco; Fan; Basten is Marco; Fan; Basten, Zhang Jun is Zhang Jun. No matter what honors Basten has received, it has nothing to do with him.

He should be Jang Jun, not "Basten second".
