Chapter 32: The Battle of Parma (2)
With the referee's whistle, the match officially kicked off at the Stadio AtlΓ©tico Blue, with the visiting team Parma kicking off first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoIn fact, Chen Fei didn't want to be picked up by Parma in the half, because Parma advanced fast, and getting the tee off meant that the opening could shorten the distance of some advancement. But Fei Long was not angry, and he guessed correctly when guessing the coin, so he had no choice but to choose the venue according to the rules.
However, that doesn't mean that Atalanta are much of a disadvantage, after all, kick-off is just a process, and the first and second halves will be swapped. It's just that Atalanta's players have to be ready from the start and have a fence to deal with it. And the development of the game at the beginning was indeed as Scala imagined, Parma took advantage of the speed advantage, frequently attacking Atalanta on the wing, making the defense of the Son of the Sea crumbling... No, what Chen Fei was most worried about still happened...
In the third minute, Parma found a good opportunity to attack. Atalanta's corner was cleared by Parma captain Minotti's header and fell just into the feet of Gabriel Ping. The latter chested the ball and then fired a volley that made a strange arc in the air, only to find Brolin on the right. Brolin got the ball near the halfway line and pushed forward, and Atalanta's left-back Poselli saw that the situation was not good, and rushed forward to try to intercept Brolin, but then, Brolin's action made the visiting fans from afar suddenly boil! They erupted into crazy cheers, if not for anything else, but for Brolin's moment just now!!
I saw Brolin face the grabbing Poselli, and quickly pushed the ball forward with the arch of his foot, and then the whole person instantly ejected like a missile, and even ran outside the sideline! Then, with the speed of a missile, Brolin actually forced a force to overtake Poselli from the outside and catch up with the ball! This ball also sent local commentators in Italy into a frenzy: "Brolin! Brolin! This flying Swede, he has achieved an impossible transcendence! This scene in front of us reminds us of Caniggia, the son of the wind, and of Maradona, the Argentine football king!! He overtook from the outside and made a pass to himself three seconds later! Oh, my God! Luckily, my eyesight was normal during my last check-up, otherwise I would have wondered if I was going to get glasses! Brolin, wonderful overall!! β
After getting past Poselli, Brolin was soon in Atalanta's defensive third and was now less than 30 metres from the goal line. What's even more dangerous is that Zola, a small man who also has extraordinary speed ability, also plugged in at high speed at this time, and also came to the middle of the defensive third zone. Brolin also happened to spot Zola's running trajectory, and a curling ball was hoisted in the middle!
What's even more dangerous is that Montero, who was originally responsible for marking Zola, didn't have time to defend in the opponent's half! What's even more dangerous is that Tacchinati, who assisted in defending Zola, jumped up in the face of Brolin's pass and tried to clear the ball, but only hit the air! That's right, you read that right, Tacinati has risen to the top! Zola received the ball 25 meters from the goal, he unloaded the ball at his feet, and there was no one around to defend it, so Zola got his feet!
The ball flew towards the tenths of the goal like an arrow from a string, and goalkeeper Ferron stretched his body to the limit, but still couldn't let his gloves touch the ball, and the visiting fans were all up and ready to celebrate! However, all of a sudden, the visiting fans clasped their hands in their hands, unable to hide their disappointment. It turned out that although the ball was fast, it was not completely suppressed, and with a "ding" sound, it smashed into the junction of the crossbar and the goalpost, and then flew out of the bottom line! The home fans in the stands behind the goal were scared into a cold sweat, and the son of the sea god escaped.
Chen Fei was also so frightened that he chuckled in his heart, and the moment he saw Zola's shot, he bounced up from his seat! Seeing that the ball hit the crossbar, Chen Fei also covered his heart and sighed. "Everyone, be careful! Gianfranco Zola shoots with a lot of accuracy, and if we give it another chance like this, we'll be done! Chen Fei was well aware of Zola's quality, so he had to shout inside the stadium to remind the players to pay attention.
The team members who received Chen Fei's instructions also came back to their senses. Sozer, who had just seen the scene of Tacinati's mistake, went up to criticize Tacinati: "Boy, this kind of game is not for you to make such a low-level mistake, you must be careful next time." β
"Enfranc, I see, I'll pay attention next time." Tacchinati lowered her head, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes, but it was replaced by focus and perseverance.
However, the sons of the sea god who survived the catastrophe began to run at any cost of physical strength under the influence of Chen Fei's pressing tactics, especially against the opponent's two forwards, Zola and Asprilla, and even used the famous "kraft candy" style rogue tactics, not leaving an inch, and small movements continued, which made Parma's players very uncomfortable.
In the 14th minute, Gabriel Ping protected the ball 40 meters in front of the goal of his own half, but he never thought that at this time, the young and vigorous Tacinati pounced like a tiger descending the mountain, and actually cut off the ball at the opponent's feet at once! Gabriel Ping, who was cut off the ball, was annoyed and ashamed, and in the pursuit, he flipped Tacinati to the ground with his shoulder, and even the inertia was so great that Tacinati was in a prone position and slid forward for several meters! Of course, Gabriel Ping also received a yellow card.
In the 18th minute, Parma's defense was in danger again, this time by another central player, Klipa. After he won the ball near the center circle, he was caught off guard by Tacinati's top snatch, and in a panic, he actually chose to kick the ball sideways! And the trouble is that this foot cross didn't eat the right part, and the power was very light! Tacinati reacted smartly, cut off Parma's defense at once, and then pushed forward to 30 meters of the goal with no defence himself, and then shot at goal! It's a pity that Tacchinaati's shot was not pressed and the anti-aircraft gun was fired.
In the 26th minute, Parma finally found a chance to attack Atalanta's defensive third. But this time, it was not only not good news, but also a bolt from the blue.
Asprilla pulled back for the ball and took control of it from about 25 yards out. But he never thought that as soon as he got the ball, he was sandwiched back and forth by Atalanta's Alemao and Valentini. Valentini was constantly harassing Asprilla in the front, while Alemao was a bit more thief in the back, sticking out a leg and chasing the ball. Although Asprilla kept adjusting his position, the constant interference between the two of them still made him extremely uncomfortable. Finally, the hot-tempered Asprilla couldn't take it anymore, he raised his arm and slapped his palm right on Valentini's face! Valentini screamed and fell backwards, covering his face with his hands, looking in utter pain.
Seeing this, the referee hurriedly blew the whistle to interrupt the game, and quickly rushed to the scene of the incident. At this time, the players of Atalanta gathered around, and you and I complained about Asprilla's bad behavior.
"Mr. Referee, this is a violent action, violence!" Tacinati complained.
"Mr. referee, I can see clearly from the back that my team-mate has been attacked very recklessly! It should be Mr. Red Card Referee! Alemao also began to complain.
"Mr. referee, this should be a red card!"
"Mr. Referee...
"That's it!!" The referee yelled, "I've seen it all, you guys give me a little back, or I'm going to be rude to you!" At this time, the Atlanta players slowly stepped away from the referee's side. The referee walked to Asprilla and pulled out a small thing from his pocket that the whole audience didn't want to see: a red card! Asprilla can go straight back to the locker room and take a shower! And now the game has just started less than half an hour, and the remaining hour or so will be 10-11 embarrassment for Parma.
At this point, Parma's head coach Scala could no longer sit still. As if he had a spring on his buttocks, he bounced up from his seat and shouted angrily at the court: "Aren't you referees seeing the action of the Atlanta players so dirty?" Can this action be a red card? Yes?! You guys see it clearly!! β
The referee heard Scala's shout and ran to Parma's bench: "Mr. Scala, please calm down, this is the final decision, I don't think there is anything wrong with this red card. If you do that again, I don't mind taking you to the stand, please do whatever you want. β
After being warned by the referee, Scala gave up in hatred, sighed deeply, and sat back on the bench with a gloomy face. The perpetrator, Asprilla, also slowly calmed down, lowered his head and slowly walked to the players' tunnel, and said to the assistant coach who came up to comfort him: "I'm sorry, I didn't control my emotions and caused you to be affected." β
"It's okay, just pay attention next time. This kind of thing may happen more often in the future, and you need to have multiple minds. Asprilla nodded slowly and walked into the players' tunnel.
On the side of the home team's bench, at the moment when Asprilla was shown a red card, Chen Fei clenched his fist with one hand and waved it heavily. Sure enough, Asprilla's temper was a big hidden danger, and he didn't expect this little trick to work so quickly. Next, Atalanta, who are 11-10, can start to slowly grasp the initiative on the field.
Chen Fei immediately shouted to the field: "Everyone should be more active when they fight back, and our position should be deeper and closer to the opponent's goal!" Everyone should observe the running of their teammates at any time, and once the counter-grab is successful, immediately give me multiple lines to start advancing! No sticking balls, no greed, whoever is in a good position will pass it to whoever is in a good position! β
Chen Fei's shouting quickly played a role, and after Asprilla left the field, Parma, who were missing a striker and arrowman, put a lot less pressure on Atalanta on the offensive end. In this way, the sons of Poseidon have the opportunity to defend and counterattack relatively calmly. They continued to nibble away at Parma's attacking line, squeezing almost all of Zola, Brolin and others into the second zone of the defense. On the offensive end, they also played some results.
In the 37th minute, Tacchinati, who was bent on atonement for his sins after rising to the top, was particularly active, and he successfully stole Zola! After the successful steal, Tacinati was not greedy, and directly made a long pass to the left side to change the line and go out, and then shouted: Thomas!
Locatelli heard Tacchinati's shout and immediately understood Tacchinati's intentions, so he protected the ball before it was about to cross the left touchline and began to cut inside at high speed. Locatelli's incut directly disrupted Parma's defensive positioning, Parma's captain Minoti and central defender Glenn were both attracted by Locatelli's in-cut, and at this time Locatelli found that the opportunity was great, or habitually pushed to the middle! However, the pass was not fully controlled and the ball was too close to goal and was denied by Parma goalkeeper Barotta.
Although the attack failed to succeed, Chen Fei still applauded the performance of the players: "Yes, this ball is very good, it will be more beautiful to pay attention when passing!" β
In the 41st minute, just four minutes later, Atalanta made a comeback, and this time the protagonist became Sozer. He retreated to the halfway line to cut off Klippa's ball, and then advanced along the right side, facing the opposing defender who grabbed up, Sozer did not choose Brolin's unreasonable way, but made a feint to move to the outside, deceived the opponent's center of gravity was unstable, and then used the inside instep of his right foot to buckle the ball to the middle, and walked in the direction of the defender's supporting foot! Passing a man, Sozer continued to dribble the ball near the corner of the box to draw Argentine centre-back San Signi out. As a result, Sozer made another feint, forcing San Sini to give Atalanta a well-placed direct free kick in the corner of the right penalty area 20 meters from the goal!
For Atalanta, Mofeo was in front of the ball. He is good at free-kicks with his left foot, and he can be a threat in this position. Therefore, Pal did not dare to slack off up and down immediately. Mofeo took the free-kick and the quality was really high, but veteran goalkeeper Barotta was quicker to react. He predicted the trajectory of the ball in advance, jumped sideways, and lifted the ball out of the baseline with one palm. Immediately afterwards, Mofeo's corner kick was judged by Barotta to land and directly picked up.
Time was running out of time at this point in the first half. Atalanta did not score, but went into the break with an 11-10 outnumbering advantage. Can one more person's son of the sea god turn such a big advantage into victory?
