Chapter 235: Hundred Balls
Six goals short of 100 goals, from the 21st round of the league, any team could become the target of Zhang Jun's legend.
Is it Rome? Or is it Udinese? Lecce? Inter? Livorno? Lazio?
Many media believe that six league games are enough for Zhang Jun to score six goals now.
Zhang Jun himself did not have a clear answer to this question, he just said that he never thought about any records or anything like that during the game, he just wanted to score goals and then help the team win.
However, the opponents in the next four rounds of the league did not take his words seriously, and the Chinese like to be modest, in case they really think that he does not care, and then only he will be unlucky.
So the head coaches of these six teams have long listed Zhang Jun as a high-risk figure.
Against Roma, Fiorentina played a 1:1 draw with them, Zhang Jun did not score, and the first Fiorentina was only two points away from the second Inter Milan.
In this way, the 100-ball suspense continues to push back.
On January 29, in the 22nd round of the league, Fiorentina defeated Udinese 2:1 away. Zhang Jun scored a penalty kick, five goals away from his 100 goals.
So in the recent issues of the "Champions and Dreams" column, there has been speculation about when Zhang Jun will be able to score 100 goals. Illaria had ulterior motives to invite the guest who had failed to predict Zhang Jun's 30 goals last time, and this time the guest learned to be obedient and insisted that Zhang Jun is in very good shape now, and he would not be surprised if he completed the remaining five goals in these two rounds of the league.
In these two rounds of the league, Fiorentina's opponents are Lecce and Inter Milan.
Lecce is good to say that this team that likes to attack, Fiorentina will play against them, and it just so happens that Zhang Jun's chances of scoring will increase.
But Inter Milan, second in the league, is not so easy to deal with.
On 5 February, Fiorentina played Lecce at home. It was a beautiful match-up, the most goals scored in Serie A, and one of the rare goal shootouts in the whole of Europe.
The two sides scored a total of five goals in the first half alone.
It's like a basketball game, you score one, I return one, you chase me.
Zhang Jun scored a goal in the first half and Fiorentina temporarily led Lecce 3-2.
At half-time, Sabato praised the team's attacking players, but also criticized the team's defence. He believes that Lecce is certainly a team that is good at attacking, but Fiorentina's current level is not at the same level as Lecce, and there is no need to concede two goals in front of Lecce's attack.
Actually, it's not because Fiorentina are so poor defensively, it's because Fiorentina's mind isn't on defense. Seeing the excitement of the attack above, the defenders of Fiorentina were also moved, and they actively assisted one by one, and Xiang Tao even assisted in the opponent's penalty area and did not go back at all.
There is a huge space behind him, so it's strange not to lose the ball.
The defenders knew that the manager who was attacking in his blood would not really blame them, because at least in the first half Fiorentina was ahead. They really have to thank the offensive lineup led by Zhang Jun.
Xiang Tao smiled and shifted the topic to Zhang Jun's goal count.
"Hey, Jun Zhang. It's all about your 100 league goals, so don't you have anything to say? ”
"That's a sure thing, what else do you need me to say?" Zhang Jun said confidently that he has been in a very good state recently, stable and efficient.
"Hey!" Xiang Tao was bored with himself, rolled his eyes, and said no more.
"But ......" Zhang Jun looked at the disappointed Xiang Tao and the rest of his teammates, "If I can still score 30 league goals this season, I will pay for the whole team to go to dinner, how about it?" ”
Xiang Tao's eyes lit up, and so did his other teammates. "Of course there is no problem!"
"We'll do our best to give you an assist!"
"For that meal! Captain, you just work hard! ”
"I'm going to the best hotel in all of Florence!"
"You're really out of luck, if you want to go, you have to go to the best hotel in Milan!"
……
So, with this promise of a treat, Zhang Jun launched a charge against another thirty balls of his treat. If he can really deliver on that promise, then he will surpass the record set by former AC Milan famous goalscorer Nodal. He scored more than 30 goals in two consecutive seasons in the 49/50 and 50/51 seasons.
At the same time, Zhang Jun will also tie another record: Platini and Nodal have jointly won the title of top scorer in Serie A for three consecutive seasons.
After the start of the second half, Fiorentina continued to press Udinese, and then seventeen minutes later, Zhang Jun exploded. He scored twice in the 18th and 30th minutes of the second half to give his team a 5-2 lead over Lecce.
Although Lecce scored their third goal of the game towards the end of the game, it was to no avail.
If a team can score three goals in one game, then it can be said that it is guaranteed to win. Unfortunately, although Lecce did it, they faced the much stronger Fiorentina.
It's bad luck.

“…… Jang Jun scored a hat-trick! We can't remember how many hat-tricks he gave us, but I would say that maybe he was the only ordinary striker who did a hat-trick. For him, it is not a problem to go into three or four, the key is whether he wants to or not. In his column, Kaliani praised Zhang's performance, and in his opinion, he is already the best striker in the world. Because a league that can score more than 30 goals in two consecutive seasons in the most defensive, hardest league in the world, and at the same time, this season is far ahead of Adriano, who is in second place with 24 goals. Even Ronaldo's all-win period did not do it at Inter Milan, even if it was Fan; Basten's fantastic season didn't do the same.
“…… After the game, Zhang Jun revealed that if he scored 30 goals again this season, then he would invite the whole team to the best restaurant in Florence for dinner. No wonder in the second half we saw that the Fiorentina players passed the ball to Zhang Jun, and even passed a little too much......"
Adriano tossed the newspaper aside, and then yelled at his teammates in the locker room: "That Zhang Jun is too despicable! He even bribed his teammates with a dinner party! Everyone tried their best to assist him for that meal! It's so unfair! ”
Everyone turned to look at him, and after a while, Martins smiled, "That's it, Ade." If you promise to invite us to dinner, I bet we'll all give you an assist, and we'll get the ball to you even if you don't. ”
When Adriano heard this, he grinned: "Okay! All right! Jall, shoot me with the ball!! ”
Everyone burst into laughter.
"The next round is going to be against Fiorentina...... someone said, and the laughter suddenly disappeared, and everyone's faces changed.
"I don't want Zhang Jun to score his hundredth league goal in front of me!" Someone said indignantly.
As soon as he said this, the other teammates in the locker room immediately echoed him.
"There are still two goals left, and it is not difficult for Zhang Jun now...... someone raised a different opinion.
Li Yongle, who had been silent, spoke: "Don't worry, I will be responsible for guarding him in the next game." Even though we were away, I didn't want us to be a foil to his 100-goal celebration. ”
The teammates have a lot of trust in Li Yongle, this Chinese young man who doesn't talk much, but the absolute midfield core and brain of Inter Milan.
※※※
Even against a second-ranked opponent like Inter Milan, Fiorentina's local media are full of confidence that Zhang Jun will complete the 100 goals. The current Fiorentina is indeed very strong, the first place is not in vain, and this time it is still a home game, Fiorentina can win, Zhang Jun can score two goals, complete 100 goals, these are no problems.
The Milan media expressed caution, and the Milan sports newspaper did not think Fiorentina would lose to Inter Milan, but also did not think that Fiorentina could easily beat Inter Milan. Milan Sport are leaning towards AC Milan and they naturally want the two teams to draw so that AC Milan, who are in third place, can catch up.
Elsewhere, there is a general belief in the media that Inter Milan and Fiorentina are both in good form, so it is normal for anyone to win or lose this game.
Within the Fiorentina team, Sabato gave the order to kill. In order to retain the top spot in the league, they must win against Inter Milan, which is the most direct conversation.
The Frankie Stadium, which had been expanded with a grandstand and could accommodate 65,900 people, was squeezed into 70,000 for this game. Most fans wanted to be there to witness the moment when Zhang Jun scored his hundredth goal.
In the eyes of Fiorentina fans, it seems that Zhang Jun will definitely score his 100th league goal in this game.
"I'm not going to let you get it." When shaking hands before the game, Li Yongle squeezed Zhang Jun's hand vigorously and said.
The game, like all the others, looked the same, except for the fact that the fans were a little louder.
But the confrontation between Zhang Jun and Li Yongle is everywhere, although there is no overlap in the positions of the two, but since Li Yongle successfully defended Zhang Jun for the first time, in any game with Fiorentina, Mancini will arrange Li Yongle to specifically guard Zhang Jun. Because at Inter Milan, only Li Yongle can prevent him.
Zhang Jun had just successfully broken through Inter Milan's defense, and when he was about to pass the ball, he was tackled by Li Yongle, who came from the side. The referee naturally awarded Inter Milan a foul, but there was nothing more than a whistle.
Zhang Jun got up from the ground and looked at Li Yongle's back helplessly, the guy shoveled over people and got up and left by himself, without saying anything at all. What a qualified opponent + enemy.
Just when Zhang Jun was about to take a free kick, Li Yongle still looked back at Zhang Jun, and the provocation in his eyes was very strong.
What could make a footballer so obsessed with the sport other than the pursuit of high honors? For a master, in addition to constantly creating records or being crowned a king, what else can make him always maintain a high level of competition and constantly surpass himself?
opponent, a strong, tenacious, excellent opponent. It is precisely because of this kind of opponent that legends on the football field can be created.
Cruyff and Beckenbauer, Maradona and Mateus, the Dutch Three Musketeers and the German Three Carriages...... These are all classics of the year and legends of today.
Then Zhang Jun and Li Yongle can also look at it in the same way, it is precisely because of Li Yongle's never-give-up pursuit and entanglement that Zhang Jun has now won the honor of the top scorer in Serie A for two consecutive years. As long as Li Yongle does not give up the challenge to Zhang Jun for a day, then Zhang Jun will not be able to relax for a day, he is racing with Li Yongle at the same time, he is also racing with himself, and he is racing with the legends in world football.
The position of this free kick was a little off, Zhang Jun did not shoot directly, but passed the football to the goalkeeper and handed it to his teammates who were grabbing points in the penalty area.
However, in the end, it was cleared by Inter Milan defender Samuel.
Inter's attack was then intercepted by Mascherano and the ball was handed to Crewe. Crewe is also a dangerous person, but Li Yongle can't be distracted, and this dangerous person can only be handed over to Cambiaso.
Although Cambiaso is now a member of the Argentine national team, and he is also a good midfielder who can be ranked in the top five in Serie A, in the face of people like Crewe, even Gattuso is not sure of winning, let alone him.
Crewe used a simple Marseille slalom and shook him away. At that moment, Cambiaso thought he was back in his days at the Bernabeu and watched Zidane shake off his opponent with a Marseille slalom during the match.
Now, Zinedine Zidane has long since retired, and in the midfield position, the only person who can be called a master in terms of technology may be Barcelona's Ronaldinho. However, Fiorentina, a young Chinese boy, is likely to inherit Zidane's mantle and become a technical master in midfield.
Of course, if he could have a little less insidious little actions and those dirty malicious hurtful actions, it would be about the same......
Krewe, who had passed by, passed the ball to Zhang Jun again, and he must have remembered Zhang Jun's promise to invite him to dinner.
Zhang Jun took the ball, turned around, and then the next second he saw Li Yongle's face.
Li Yongle waited for the moment when Zhang Jun turned around, and he broke the ball with his small foot.
Zhang Jun no longer felt any surprise because Li Yongle suddenly appeared behind him, he looked at Li Yongle's face, but his feet were flexible, and then his body jumped, just enough to dodge Li Yongle's interception with the ball.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Jun flicked his hand, pulled Li Yongle behind him, and then accelerated and rushed over. That's it, Li Yongle!
Zhang Jun, who passed Li Yongle, faced an Inter Milan backline, did not choose to break through, but suddenly shot with his feet outside the penalty area.
Long shot!
The soccer ball flew high over the defenders' heads, and then suddenly it fell - a defoliating ball!
Luckily, goalkeeper Cesar was focused enough to leap back as he retreated, reaching out to lift the ball over the crossbar. As he rolled over and fell to the ground, Frankie Field erupted in a loud sigh.
Even the commentator was sighing for the ball: "What a pity! What a pity! Cesar's performance was perfect, and Zhang Jun's shot was sudden and awkward. It was not easy for him to pounce! ”
Zhang Jun, who didn't score, grabbed his hair, and then turned around and smiled at Li Yongle, who had been passed by him.
Li Yongle looked at him expressionlessly, and then twisted his head to the other side.
※※※
The match was broadcast live to all of Europe by Sky TV, and was also broadcast to all of China by CCTV5. When many Zhang Jun fans saw that the goal was not scored, they all had the same expression as the fans at Frankie Stadium: sigh.
'Zhang Jun looks like he's in good shape today and we hope he can score two goals. Well, then he could score his first 100 goals in this game and our crowd will be in for a treat. Because next weekend we won't be broadcasting Fiorentina......"
"In that case, will Li Yongle, who is Zhang Jun's rival's sworn enemy, be too miserable?"
※※※
Li Yongle doesn't feel miserable by Zhang Jun, he is enjoying this kind of competition. For him, winning the league title is important, but being the best midfielder in the world is also a very enticing reputation. But deep down in his heart, what can make his blood boil the most and devote 200% to the game is only one reason - to compete with Zhang Jun.
So he continues to fight with Zhang Jun now, so that Fiorentina has to change the tactical arrangement, Zhang Jun is only responsible for involving the attention of Inter Milan's defense, and try to really participate in the attack as little as possible, and the task of attacking is handed over to Pazzini and Crewe; Lee, Joaquín and Gasbaroni were among others. Even Mascherano can often shoot back in the back.
Regarding the adjustment of Fiorentina, Li Yongle did not participate in the adjustment of the back line and the midfielder except for commanding the backline and the midfielder, but only with Jian Jun. He would only help when needed, and most of the time, his eyes were only on Zhang Jun, for fear that an oversight would make Zhang Jun slip away from him.
Try to try so hard, and there are still negligence, it's rare for a player to be on high alert for 90 minutes at all times, so in that sense, a defender is much harder than an offensive player.
Crewe played Cambiaso in the midfield, Cambiaso showed a lot of effort, but the gap in talent made his efforts pale under Crewe's leisure.
Li Yongle deliberately kept a distance from Zhang Jun, he couldn't get too close, otherwise Fiorentina would not pass the ball to Zhang Jun, so it would be too worthwhile to waste his physical strength running empty with a person who didn't hold the ball. At the same time, he couldn't be too far away, otherwise he would suddenly pass the ball to Zhang Jun, and he wouldn't be able to rush over to stop Zhang Jun from taking the ball at the first time.
He wants to capture and indulge in the past to lure Zhang Jun into being fooled.
※※※
Crewe glanced at where Zhang Jun was now, and also at Li Yongle's position, there was still a distance of about three meters between the two, if the ball was passed slowly, Li Yongle would definitely see through it and break the ball. How can the pass be hidden, so that Li Yongle can't detect it at the first time, and let Zhang Jun know that he wants to pass the ball to him?
He looked at Zhang Jun and found that Zhang Jun was also looking at him.
Crewe's alarm clock flashed, and he knew what to do.
Faced with a stangled Cambiaso, Crewe did not pass the ball, but sprinted violently and dribbled towards the direction of the penalty area. He suddenly rushed to a position almost parallel to Zhang Jun.
Cambiaso didn't dare to slack off, and neither did the Inter defenders, and if he was allowed to burst into the box, it could lead to a goal.
Suddenly, two Inter Milan players came up to block Crewe's dribble, and even if it was a foul, they couldn't let him into the box.
But Crewe didn't plan to break into the penalty area at all, he glanced at Zhang Jun beside him, Li Yongle and his distance were still as close as ever.
Crewe first made a bicycle action in the face of Cambiaso, Cambiaso was unmoved, this ordinary feint he saw a lot when he was at Real Madrid.
Of course, Crewe didn't expect Cambiaso to be fooled now, and when he saw that the opponent didn't move, he stopped breaking through, straightened up, and switched the ball to the right.
Cambiaso was a little surprised, he didn't know what Crewe was going to do. Crewe just stood quietly, not making any movements, and Cambiaso watched so quietly, not daring to make any movements. He was afraid that he would reveal some flaws after he moved first, and he would be caught by this cunning No. 10.
And the Inter Milan players next to him didn't dare to go up to interfere with the two, for fear of causing a mistake in coordination.
The two of them just confronted each other like this, about three seconds, no, maybe five seconds. No one made the first move.
Crewe's right foot moved first, but instead of bringing the ball forward, he flicked it to his left foot, and the ball rolled up on his left foot like a wave crashing against a reef. As the ball began, Crewe's right heel slammed into the ball, and the ball flew to the right again.
This hand was beyond everyone's expectations, everyone thought that he would continue to fight with Cambiaso, but they didn't expect him to pass the ball suddenly, and in this unconventional way!
Li Yongle saw that the football was flying in the direction of Zhang Jun, he hurriedly pounced, because the football was flying high in the air, he couldn't break the ball halfway, he could only hope to stick to Zhang Jun, and then break the ball when he stopped the ball.
But he made a mistake again, Zhang Jun did not stop in place and wait for the ball, nor did he run in the direction of the flying football, but ...... He rushed straight into the penalty area while the ball flew behind him!
Isn't Crewe going to pass the ball to Jang Jun?! Li Yongle was shocked, but he couldn't brake, so he had to follow the football to the right.
The football fell, and Li Yongle also paid attention to it in his heart, no matter how Zhang Jun runs, since he is already chasing the football, then simply destroy the football and let Zhang Junbai run.
Just when Li Yongle was about to stretch out his long legs and destroy the football out of the sideline, a purple figure suddenly flashed in front of his eyes - Joaquin!
No one knows when Joaquin was still near the halfway line when he crossed the ball from behind, could it be when Crewe and Cambiaso confronted each other just now...... Li Yongle has a higher evaluation of his teammates in this national team in his heart, and he even counts these!
Unable to allow Li Yongle to make changes, Joaquin stretched out his right leg and pushed the flying football directly in the air, and the football turned back and flew into the penalty area, which happened to be on the route of Zhang Jun's running.
This wall-banging fit sent cheers from the Frankie stands.
Fiorentina's three-man pass easily tore apart Inter Milan's originally tight defense, and Zhang Jun easily appeared behind most of the Inter defenders and received the football!
Inter Milan's goal is in danger!
Zhang Jun led the ball forward with his right foot, and then glanced up at Cesar, who was guarding the goal, the huge goal was full of holes in his eyes.
In the forbidden area, there is a world that belongs to him, and he is the king here.
"This is ......" Zhang Jun let out a low roar, and then volleyed violently! …… Ninety-ninth! ”
The ball flew into the top corner against the near post! Cesar's center of gravity was too low, and he didn't react to Zhang Jun's high ball at all, and fell backwards, watching the football crash into the net inside the goal.
“goal! goal!! goal!!! Three shouts, the commentator also excitedly raised his arms and stood up: "Ninety-ninth goal!" This is Zhang Jun's ninety-ninth goal for Fiorentina in Serie A!! What an exciting number! He's only one goal away from 100 balls! Keep up the good work, Jun Zhang! ”
Even the supposedly neutral Sky TV commentator has become a fan of Jang Jun, and the charm of scoring goals is endless.
Li Yongle covered his head with his hands, helplessly accepting the reality that Zhang Jun had scored his ninety-ninth goal, so that there was only one hundred goals left for him, and there were about fifty minutes left in the game. He must completely block Zhang Jun in the remaining time and not allow him to score a single goal. Not a single goal can be scored!
The excited Zhang Jun rushed to the stands, and then waved his arms, constantly inciting the emotions of the fans. Make the atmosphere of this stadium even more lively.
But as soon as he swung twice, his body was pushed to the ground by his teammates who came from behind, and he was pressed to the bottom.
The cheers of the whole Frankie were overwhelming, and the faces of the Inter Milan players who were enveloped by these cheers were very ugly.
"Hooray! Florence! Banzai! Zhang Jun!! ”
※※※
AC Milan coach Van Fan; Basten sat in the stands of the stadium, he came to scout the enemy, and his target was not Fiorentina, who are in the limelight now, but Inter Milan, because in the next round, AC Milan will have a two-man match at home and Inter Milan, the Milan derby.
However, as the game progressed, he unconsciously put the focus of his observation on Zhang Jun.
In fact, for Zhang Jun, Basten doesn't need to observe anything at all, when he was in the Netherlands, it can be said that Basten watched Zhang Jun grow up, and it stands to reason that he should be very familiar with Zhang Jun.
But the reality is that Basten found that every time he saw Zhang Jun again, he grew up again.
Not only technically, but also physically, psychologically, all-round ...... Grow. This kid's growth rate in recent years can be said to be a maglev train.
Seeing Zhang Jun beat their opponent in the next round speechless, with no power to fight back, Basten had to shake his head again, sighing that he should have been the main striker and top scorer of our AC Milan...... Now he has become a formidable, formidable enemy.
Zhang Jun and his Fiorentina are Milan's worst enemies.
But now, they are not. So Basten applauded, like everyone around him, for Zhang Jun's 99th goal.
※※※
For the remainder of the first half, neither side was able to achieve anything, and the score was 1-0, with the home team Fiorentina leading to end the first half.
On the way back to the dressing room, the Fiorentina players were talking and laughing, and they were in a good mood. And the players of Inter Milan were frosty and silent. Especially Li Yongle, before the game, he said that he would stop Zhang Jun from scoring 100 goals, but now he let Zhang Jun score 99 goals.
Only one ball is missing, does it make sense for Zhang Jun?
"One hundred! Hundred! Hundred! As soon as Zhang Jun entered the locker room, he saw his teammates wearing their upper bodies, shouting and jumping around him. To be honest, when he first entered the door, it did take him by surprise.
"Hey, there's still one in a hundred, what are you shouting now?" Zhang Jun interrupted everyone's shouting.
"Ah, for you, is there any difference between a hundred and ninety-nine?" Joaquin said to Zhang Jun with a smile.
Zhang Jun tilted his head, thought about it very hard, and then smiled: "I want to ...... No. ”
In the dressing room at Inter Milan, Mancini was asking Li Yongle: "Are you sure?" If you can't do it, send another person to see him. I've had you take care of him, it's a bit hard. ”
Li Yongle stubbornly shook his head: "No, coach." I believe in my abilities and should have no problem. ”
Adriano looked up at Li Yongle, he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. Li Yongle once persuaded him not to fight with Zhang Jun for the number of goals, but he didn't listen, and he lost very badly. Now it is Li Yongle's turn to be so stubborn and want to compete with Zhang Jun, and he, a person who was once stubborn, is not qualified to persuade Li Yongle to do anything.
I can only wish him good luck in my heart, and may stubborn people have a happy ending......
※※※
When the second half restarted, Fiorentina ran out of the tunnel with their heads held high, while Inter Milan came out of the tunnel slowly.
"They're out! They're out! Let's see if Zhang Jun can score his first 100 league goal for Fiorentina in the remaining 45 minutes of the second half, and also see if Li Yongle can prevent Zhang Jun from scoring 100 goals in front of him as he wishes. ”
Today's Chinese media no longer want to hype the so-called "Chinese Derby" and "Chinese Three Musketeers" like the first season, because for them, such a scene is already commonplace.
While waiting for Inter Milan to serve, Zhang Jun and Li Yongle looked at each other from afar. Zhang Jun grinned and made a smiling expression. Li Yongle, on the other hand, grimaced, and then twisted his head away.
It can be seen that Li Yongle is very angry, and the consequences are very serious.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the second half, Zhang Jun was closely guarded by Li Yongle. He won't make the mistake of the first half again this time, in the first half, he deliberately gave Zhang Jun a chance, he thought that he could successfully break the football, but he didn't expect to overestimate himself.
In the second half, he wouldn't give Zhang Jun any more chances, even if he wanted to fake a fall, he wouldn't let it.
Zhang Jun leaned on Li Yongle, intending to receive Gasballoni's pass, but before the football reached his feet, Li Yongle behind him grabbed Zhang Jun's collar with one hand, and at the same time stretched out his long legs and stabbed the football off. Zhang Jun stumbled under his feet, but finally did not fall. If it was replaced by Crewe or Yang Pan, he would have fallen on Li Yongle a long time ago, and at the same time, he would not forget to stretch out his hands and shout, signaling to the referee that Li Yongle's handy back shovel foul.
Li Yongle uses Zhang Jun's mentality: he will never fall down when he can, even if he falls to the ground, as long as it does not affect the battle and the referee does not blow, he will get up as soon as possible.
Because of this, Sabato scolded Zhang Jun several times, saying that he was so positive, and the referee would have blown it to attack advantageously. But Zhang Jun just smiled and didn't refute, and Sabato didn't have a problem with him.
In the second half, Li Yongle seemed to be a different person, and he almost truly achieved the realm of maggots attached to the bones. Zhang Jun was miserable by him, and several fierce tackles made Frankie boo, but the referee just didn't blow it, because Li Yongle did not foul. His braided hair was torn, and Zhang Jun felt so embarrassed.
Now that he can't laugh anymore, it seems that Li Yongle is determined not to let him complete the 100-ball record. At the very least, he can't score 100 goals in front of him, that will make him very faceless and feel like a failure......
But I said that at halftime, if I didn't finish it, wouldn't I be very faceless and a failure?
This is a duel that cannot be backed down.
※※※
Zhang Jun shook Li Yongle, but it was not easy, Li Yongle was still interfering with him, and as a result, he kicked the football away.
And Li Yongle almost completely sacrificed his offensive ability in order to prevent Zhang Jun. At the same time that he trapped Zhang Jun, he was also trapped by Zhang Jun.
He could only send cannonballs to Ade through long passes, and he couldn't make long runs with the ball to assist.
This is a bit regrettable, but being able to prevent Zhang Jun gives him a greater sense of achievement.
I said that if I don't let you in, I won't let you in, and that's my promise to my teammates.
Damn, if you don't let me in, I won't go in? Wouldn't I be so shameless?
Zhang Jun unexpectedly stretched out his foot in the front court and broke Li Yongle's ball, which surprised Inter Milan fans. It also made Li Yongle surprised, he really didn't pay attention to Zhang Jun just now, he kept looking up to find the person in front of him, and he was thinking about how to pass it for a long time to cause a threat. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jun took the initiative this time.
Li Yongle was naturally unwilling to let the football under his feet change hands like this, so he quickly turned around and chased after him.
Just before Zhang Jun's shot, he stretched out his foot and stabbed the football, making the football inconsistent with Zhang Jun's scheduled route. There was a problem with Zhang Jun's judgment, and his feet were naturally flying.
This goal is not counting Fiorentina's corner kick, Zhang Jun turned around and glared at Li Yongle resentfully.
For most of the game, they were tied.
※※※
Due to Li Yongle being pinned, Inter Milan's attack was far less fluid than usual, and was always ruthlessly intercepted by Fiorentina at the last moment. When facing strong teams, Sabato will ask the backline to be restrained when providing assists, so as to avoid too much space behind him and being caught and exploited by high-level opponents. In the duel of masters, the fight is who makes fewer mistakes.
As the clock ticked by, Fiorentina still led Inter Milan 1-0. Mancini was not in a hurry, but Sabato seemed a little unable to sit still, constantly pacing around the sidelines.
Crewe shook the difficult Cambiaso again, this time he completely shook the other party to the ground, and for a moment, he definitely couldn't get up. Crewe had plenty of time to decide what to do next, but he didn't.
Because if he has too much time to prepare, even if Cambiaso can't threaten him anymore, that ubiquitous Li Yongle is also a headache.
He raised his head slightly and looked at Zhang Jun, Li Yongle felt nervous, he would not let Zhang Jun go this time.
Crewe passed the ball, and the direction was Zhang Jun, and it was a boccia. Li Yongle won't worry about him passing to someone behind him again this time, because the boccia ball is best intercepted, and Liang Kru doesn't have the courage to pass the ball at the risk of being intercepted halfway.
Zhang Jun ran towards the football, intending to catch the ball.
Li Yongle also ran up with him, intending to break the ball. If you can't break the ball at the first time, you have to get stuck in the position and can't let Zhang Jun turn around.
Li Yongle followed behind Zhang Jun, he expected that Zhang Jun would not be able to play any tricks, and he would not be able to play any tricks.
Crewe's pass was fast and fierce, and Zhang Jun rushed forward at the same speed, no matter how you look at it, you don't want to catch the ball...... If it is to catch the ball, at this speed, how does Zhang Jun plan to stop the ball and then get rid of Li Yongle?
The ball arrives, the man arrives.
Zhang Jun suddenly split his legs and let the football pass under his feet!
He didn't catch the ball, but consciously missed it!
Li Yongle didn't expect that the ball would leak from under his nose to the feet of Pazzini behind him.
At the same time, after Zhang Jun leaked the ball, he did not accelerate, but changed direction violently and went straight into the penalty area!
Li Yongle was stunned for a moment, then turned around to chase Zhang Jun.
Pazzini saw Zhang Jun inserted into the penalty area, and hurriedly made a straight plug and sent the football in.
Zhang Jun naturally knew that Li Yongle would not give up, so as soon as he entered, he turned sideways and blocked Li Yongle, who was trying to overtake.
And Li Yongle lost his last chance to break the ball, but he didn't panic, although now Zhang Jun is holding the ball in his penalty area, and he may score at any time. He was surprisingly calm at the moment.
He looked at Zhang Jun's back with the ball, and then directly threw Zhang Jun away and rushed towards the goal.
Zhang Jun didn't care about Li Yongle's movements, he had just received the football. It's a great feeling to get the ball in the opposition box and face the whole defence.
He jerked the ball to a halt, then flicked it away, dodging Samuel who had come back to catch up, with a light movement.
Then at the same time as flashing past Samuel, he leaned back to pick up the ball while Samuel just blocked Cesar's sight!
The football was picked up by him, and when Cesar found Zhang Jun shooting, the football had already flown into the air, with his deliberately lowered center of gravity now, he couldn't jump up in the air at such a close distance in a short period of time, and then lift the football out of the bottom line, his knees were only slightly bent, and then he could only raise his head and look up at the football in the sky to draw an arc, and then fly to the goal behind him!
Could it be that Zhang Jun is going to score again?!
"Oh no! Plum! He's so fast! ”
Just when Zhang Jun was about to raise his hands and cheer, he was surprised to see Li Yongle appear in front of the goal, and then win the football, and use the header that he is not good at to push the football out!
"Clearance on the goal line! Well done! Even the commentators who were inclined to Zhang Jun had to sincerely praise Li Yongle's rescue behavior in front of the door.
Zhang Jun jumped up, but when he saw Li Yongle pushing the football out of the goal, he jumped in the air, holding his head with both hands, and his excitement turned into regret.
And Li Yongle, who blocked Zhang Jun's must-have goal, smiled for the first time when he faced Zhang Jun.
He defeated Zhang Jun, albeit only for a moment.
Yes, at that moment, no one believed that he would stop the ball, everyone thought that the goal would be scored, Zhang Jun scored his hundredth league goal in a glorious way, and then raised his arms and shouted in the face of the tsunami-like cheers of the whole stadium, enjoying the moment that belonged to him.
But I'm sorry, this scenario is going to be postponed. It's like a lively dinner, a group of people suddenly burst in, overturn the table, and when everyone looks at them in surprise, the leader says coolly: "I'm sorry, we're here to stir up the situation." ”
Li Yongle stirred up all the Florentines who were looking forward to the good show at night.
※※※
As the clock ticked on, the score remained 1-0 and Inter's counter-attacks were weak enough to pose much of a threat to the Fiorentina backline. What is more interesting than this is that they fell in their own backcourt, the duel between Zhang Jun and Li Yongle.
Since successfully blocking one of Zhang Jun's must-have goals, Li Yongle has become more and more courageous, allowing all of Zhang Jun's shots to be deflected off the frame within ten minutes.
Although Zhang Jun only shot three times in ten minutes, it is a good defensive result.
Since Zhang Jun promised to treat the whole team to dinner after scoring his 30th goal of the season, he has significantly increased the number of shots on goal in the game, but it is very rare to be able to have a lot of shots on goal like this game, but the shooting percentage is the lowest in this season. Li Yongle's defense made Zhang Jun miserable.
The No. 1 defender in Serie A, the ruler of Inter Milan, is by no means in vain......
Half of the stands have his portrait on it, and if he can't score his hundredth goal, wouldn't it be a disappointment for everyone?
Zhang Jun decided to pull his position back a little more, so that he would have more opportunities to receive the ball, and more importantly - he would have more space to do the sprints that he was good at, rather than being eaten with his back to Li Yongle in the front.
Zhang Jun consciously retreated, and Li Yongle naturally consciously followed. But Zhang Jun can always retreat to the middle circle position, but Li Yongle can't follow to rush to that position, because he is the hub of the midfield, if his position is messed up, then Inter Milan's midfield will be messed up, the midfield will be messed up, and the whole team will be messed up.
Li Yongle has to focus on the big picture because he is a midfielder. Zhang Jun doesn't care so much, he just needs to score and score again, and the manager doesn't care if he is in the midfield or in the front line.
The game continues. Zhang Jun tried to launch several surprise attacks from behind, but after one or two people, they were finally blocked by Li Yongle.
Li Yongle doesn't go out with him, it doesn't mean that he has no choice, he can choose the most appropriate position, and then wait for Zhang Jun to take the ball to the Inter Milan players to chase and intercept him, and collide head-on.
The game was played in the afternoon, the sun was strong, and Frankie Field was sunburned into a yin-yang field – half shade, half sun.
This kind of stadium is very unsuitable for television because the camera has to constantly adjust the aperture, otherwise the audience may not be able to see anything but the white football when it appears in the shadowed area. And when the football is moved to the sunfield, it will make their eyes sway, and they can't even see the football.
The winter sun is not hot, on the contrary, it is still warm on the body, Zhang Jun is now active in the sun field, he has just turned from the shadow field, Li Yongle is naturally making slight adjustments with his movements in the distance.
No matter how Fiorentina's football is passed, and no matter whether Zhang Jun gets the ball or not, Li Yongle's eyes are always on him. The look in his eyes...... Well, it's like a cop is censoring a career repeat offender.
Zhang Jun looked at the time on the big screen, the strong sunlight made him not very real, but he knew that time was definitely running out. It's been dozens of minutes with Li Yongle, and I can't spend it anymore.
For a long time, when Zhang Jun faced Li Yongle's defense, he adhered to the principle of letting and avoiding, and did not have direct physical contact with this strong back, because it must be himself who is unlucky.
Li Yongle relied on his strong body and huge defensive area to defend Zhang Jun, while Zhang Jun relied on his speed and agility to maneuver with Li Yongle.
"It's time, it's time...... I can't live up to other people's expectations. Zhang Jun looked at the Florentina flag fluttering in the stands and his portrait, silently reciting in his heart.
※※※
Li Yongle has been observing Zhang Jun's every move from a distance. He saw Zhang Jun stop suddenly, then look up and down again, not knowing what the hell this opponent was doing.
Now it's Fiorentina who take the ball and attack, he has to stay calm and grasp the big picture, and since Zhang Jun won't pose any threat anytime soon, then he should focus on the equally difficult Crewe.
Crewe stepped on the ball with the sole of his foot and pulled it to the left while leaning to the left, as if he was going to break through from the left. Cambiaso moved a fraction of a minute to the left in advance.
Li Yongle felt that something was wrong, and just wanted to stop it, but it was too late. Crewe slammed the ball from behind him to the right, then turned around and struck the ball again, completely avoiding Cambiaso, who fell to the ground.
Crewe, who had just passed Cambiaso, didn't raise his head, and directly sent a long pass of 30 meters long, which directly sent the football to Zhang Jun's feet without error.
It's still Zhang Jun! Li Yongle just turned his body in one direction, he wanted to see what other means Zhang Jun had.
Yes, Zhang Jun's breakthroughs in the first few times were indeed beautiful and won warm applause from the audience, but football matches are not determined by one person's beautiful breakthroughs alone. He deliberately arranged for his teammates to intercept Zhang Jun, just to lead him into his trap step by step. Let him find that no matter how he dodges, he will eventually face his own wall.
Zhang Jun stopped the football, took a trip forward, and started!
Stankovic bore the brunt of the blow, and when he was about to turn around, he was swept by Zhang Jun.
Li Yongle looked at Zhang Jun's position, and then began to adjust his position.
When Zhang Jun dribbles the ball, the distance between the football and his feet is perfect, neither will he lose the ball if he is too big, nor will it affect his running speed because of the small trip, which is why he can become the fastest player with the ball in world football today.
The "Dragon 1" on his feet is very light, he almost doesn't feel the weight, and when he touches the ball, he is unusually close to his feet, and Zhang Jun has a wonderful feeling of running barefoot. The moment he broke through Stankovic just now, it was these shoes that made a big difference.
The moment Zhang Jun broke through Stankovich, he ran from the yang field to the yin field, and the audience in front of the TV suddenly went black in front of them, and there was an illusion that Zhang Jun had escaped into the darkness.
When the camera's aperture was adjusted, Zhang Jun was facing Pizarro. He continued to slow down and made a feint with his left shoulder sinking when he was still five meters away from Pizarro, making the Peruvian midfielder think that Zhang Jun would break through to the left. Then Zhang Jun took advantage of the fact that the opponent's center of gravity did not shift, and rushed to the right with a beautiful change of direction. The whole process did not slow down, and in Pizarro's eyes, he saw Zhang Jun rushing over, and then rushing over again.
The purple jersey was like a purple lightning bolt, and it crossed the court in a V-shape.
Zhang Jun, who changed direction two times in a row, happened to face Li Yongle.
This time, Zhang Jun didn't look up to confirm who the roadblock in front of him was, he knew that it must be Li Yongle, a haunted kid.
In the past, he must have made an emergency stop, and then tried to change direction, starting at a speed to shake off Li Yongle. But this time Zhang Jun didn't plan to do that.
Li Yongle looked at Zhang Jun, who was getting closer to him, there was no expression on his face, but he was smiling in his heart. Zhang Jun fell into his trap again: there is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to break into. If Zhang Jun insisted on breaking through from Pizarro's left side just now, then his position would be meaningless now.
Zhang Jun's initial reaction was not unexpected, but Zhang Jun's next reaction was greatly unexpected.
Zhang Jun did not make an emergency stop, did not change direction, and did not even slow down...... He rushed over directly, and then rushed along Li Yongle's body to the right side of the court!
From the yin field to the yang field.
The TV audience saw another flash of purple lightning burst out of the darkness.
"Oops!" Li Yongle understood Zhang Jun's mind for the first time, and he hurriedly sped up to keep up with all his might.
Zhang Jun's mind was very simple - that is, to forcibly break through, raise his speed to the maximum, and then use his speed to tear a crack from Li Yongle's side.
While rushing to the right side of the court, Zhang Jun also fine-tuned his direction, allowing his running route to gradually change to the edge of the penalty area, from where he was going to cut into the box.
While running with Zhang Jun, Li Yongle raised his speed to the extreme, always protecting Zhang Jun's inside and not giving him a chance to cut into the penalty area. At the same time, he is not in a hurry to tackle the ball with his feet, because once he plans to tackle, he must be 100% sure that he can destroy the ball, otherwise he will take the initiative to give up the defense and let Zhang Jun overtake easily.
Zhang Jun knew that Li Yongle was following him, but he was confident in his speed. He is also confident in his combat boots, he just wants to keep improving his speed, even in the face of getting closer and closer to the bottom line, he has no intention of slowing down.
Li Yongle felt it, he originally planned to force Zhang Jun out of the bottom line, but now he suddenly had a bad premonition, maybe Zhang Jun was lying to him so desperately, he must have a back hand. Could it be that he would pass the ball to Joaquín with his heel when he was close to the baseline, and then pass himself from the sidelines and Joaquín crossed?
Thinking of this, Li Yongle didn't forget to turn his head to find Joaquin, and sure enough, it was not far behind Zhang Jun!
Cunning Florence!
Li Yongle slowed down a little, Zhang Jun's speed did not decrease, and the two of them were getting closer and closer to the bottom line. Li Yongle is considering whether to block Zhang Jun's pass, or directly block Zhang Jun's body that bursts into the penalty area.
Zhang Jun's speed slowed down a little during the run, and Li Yongle thought it was a precursor to his passing, so he was even more determined.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jun didn't think about passing the ball at all, he dragged the foot behind and pushed the football between Li Yongle's legs very dexterously and quickly, and at the same time twisted his body and ran out of the field, and then overtook and rushed into the field from behind Li Yongle even faster! During the whole process, the football was not passed to anyone, nor did it go out of bounds, but only temporarily left Zhang Jun's feet, but Zhang Jun quickly regained possession. At the same time as he overtaked, he blocked Li Yongle behind him, and blocked it solidly, not giving Li Yongle a chance to turn the tables, now they are in the penalty area, Li Yongle behind him does not dare to make a mistake, unless he wants to give Fiorentina a penalty for nothing.
"Bastard!" Li Yongle scolded in a low voice, and pulled Zhang Jun's shoulders behind him, and Zhang Jun twisted his upper body to get rid of Li Yongle's "claws". And Li Yongle, who was shaken away by Zhang Jun, couldn't stop because of his habitual surname, stumbled under his feet, and fell to the ground after struggling for two steps.
He faced goalkeeper Cesar this time. Although the angle is very small, almost zero degrees, Zhang Jun still intends to shoot.
"The hundredth one!" A powerful volley!
The soccer ball rolled quickly against the turf towards the near post, and Cesar hurriedly pressed down, intending to hold the soccer ball directly in his arms.
However, he ignored the power and speed of Zhang Jun's shot, and when he pressed down and hoped to feel the stability of holding the football in his arms with both hands, he only felt a chill under him, and the football rolled under his armpit......
The football flashed white on the TV screen, and then the TV viewers, who had not yet reacted, heard the live commentator shouting: "gooo!!!oooo ”
※※※
Zhang Jun smashed his right fist downward, then raised his head and roared, and all the Fiorentina fans roared with him. A huge banner was also unfurled in the stands of the Florence die-hard fan zone:
100th league goal, thank you for every goal you have scored in these four years, thank you, all-powerful captain!
The phrase embroidered in gold on the huge purple flag became the most dazzling place in all of Frankie in the sunlight of the South Stand.
"Praise God! Four and a half seasons for Fiorentina, 121 appearances for Fiorentina in the first division, scoring 100 league goals, an average of 0.83 goals per game, a terrifying efficiency! I don't think it's been possible in the past, let alone after the increasing emphasis on defense. Congratulations to Jun Zhang! Congratulations Florence! They have such a great shooter, although the process of getting this shooter was very dramatic, I think Galliani's heart must be bleeding now, haha! ”
"Poor Inter Milan, poor Li Yongle ......"
Cesar felt that his mistake led to the goal conceded, but no one blamed him, as they were familiar with the terrifying striker as an opponent who had played against Zhang Jun twice in the season. Since Li Yongle did not succeed in stopping Zhang Jun before Zhang Jun sprinted with all his might, then there was no one who could stop him next.
Zhang Jun was still celebrating wildly surrounded by his teammates, and the referee was about to intervene.
But Li Yongle sat on the ground and looked helplessly at Cesar, who was silent next to him.
He failed again.
※※※
Sabato held up a finger and shouted to the coaching staff and the bench in a very unidentified way: "Haha! Hundred! Hundred! Praise to Della Valle, who did the most correct thing when he left! It's priceless in Florence! Give me 10 billion and I won't sell it! Don't sell! ”
Ren Yudi took the lead in standing up and applauding Zhang Jun after Zhang Jun's goal, and then the current president of Inter Milan next to him, Facchetti, also had to stand up and applaud and congratulate his opponent.
Of course, he didn't forget to congratulate Ren Yudi next to him: "You have a very, very good friend and team member. "The tone is sour.
"Thank you." Ren Yu responded with a smile, but his eyes kept on Zhang Jun in the field, and he didn't pay attention to anyone next to him at all.
In addition to applause, the whole Frankie Stadium was cheering: "Hooray!" Zhang Jun! Banzai! Zhang Jun!! ”
In the end, the referee had to intervene to get the game back to normal, but the excitement of the fans obviously did not pass, and they kept cheering for Zhang Jun's name in the following games.
And the huge flag is still parked in the stands, and countless fans drag this huge purple flag, they don't care if they can't see their idols in their hearts, and the game. They just want this sentence to stay in everyone's field of vision a little longer, a little longer:
100th league goal, thank you for every goal you have scored in these four years, thank you, all-powerful captain!
