Chapter 162: The League Ends

Bologna, who won this game, gathered enough morale and took the initiative of their own destiny. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Although due to Udinese's win, they and Napoli, who are also on 58 points, are sure that there is no Champions League hope; However, rivals Inter Milan have lost and are currently one point behind them, so Bologna will qualify for the UEFA Cup if they do not lose their next away game against Parma, who are currently seventh with 56 points.

The other Europa League qualification has been almost certainly taken away by Lazio, who won this game heartily and are currently in fourth place with 59 points.

Due to the good situation, Bologna was relaxed up and down, with the players talking and laughing in training and Pioli occasionally making quips in training.

Everything seems to be going in a good direction, with president Guerraldi coming to the training base to cheer on the players, promising €900,000 in prize money to be distributed if the team qualifies for next season's Europa League.

For Bologna, who have always been picky, this is already a remarkable extravagance. You must know that Shi Hao is already considered a high salary in Bologna, and the other core of the team, Diamanti, is only 25,000 euros per week before tax, and the captain Di Vaio is only 28,000 euros before tax per week.

900,000 euros are distributed, and players such as Shi Hao, Di Vaio, and Diamanti who have made outstanding contributions to the team will definitely get the lion's share, which is equivalent to several weeks' salary.

There was optimism in the team, and no one thought they would lose to Parma.

So on the afternoon of May 14, in the 37th minute, Parma's Giovinco took a corner kick and Biabiani headed the ball into Bologna's net, and the whole Bologna team looked shocked and incredulous.

A win would leave Parma with 59 points and they will squeeze out Bologna to qualify for the UEFA Cup.

Bologna are already on the edge of a cliff with one foot, and a defeat here will miss them out of the Europa League and the entire season of hard work will be wasted.

Before the end of the first half, Bologna, unwilling to lose, launched several attacks on Parma's goal, but to no avail.

At half-time, there was a solemn atmosphere in the dressing room. Pioli's gaze moved slowly, lingering on each player for a few seconds. Everyone was looking forward to him talking, but they were worried that he would scold people as soon as he opened his mouth, and they were all in a worried mood.

Shi Hao took a sip of water and massaged himself to relax his muscles, not paying much attention to what Pioli would say.

His performance in the first half was mediocre, but that was because he was too closely marked, and he alone often caught the attention of two or three of Parma's defensive team-mates, and he also made a lot of good passes, so it was fair to say that he had fulfilled his tactical duty.

In this game, Bologna continued the 3412 formation of the previous game, he partnered with Di Vaio in the front, and he fed Di Vaio at least 3 good cakes in 45 minutes, but the captain did drop his condition so much that he didn't eat the bread that fed his mouth, and he could only sigh.

"The reason why I don't speak is because I don't have to say anything," Pioli finally said slowly, "It's up to you to play in Europe next season, not me. The next thing can only be seen whether you have a firm will, whether you have a strong desire to win, and what I can do is very limited. ”

Everyone listened attentively.

'In the second half, we had no choice but to attack. Parma defended very tightly down the middle, so in the second half we played more wide. We don't have an advantage in terms of height, so when we cross low, we try to cross low or hit the back post. Specifically in terms of positioning, I ask you to ......"

Pioli didn't speak long, leaving a few minutes for the players to think for themselves. No one spoke, and the only sound left in the locker room was panting.

……

After the start of the second half, Shi Hao was more active. He won't be staying in Bologna next season and that bonus isn't worth the effort, but he still has a system to do, and not only will he have to win this game, but he will have to score at least two goals to equal Ibrahimovic's tally of goals - provided Ibrahimovic doesn't score in this game.

In the 53rd minute, Shi Hao switched to the bottom of the right side, and near the baseline, he shook down Paletta and passed to Di Vaio in an inverted triangle. Di Vaio fired a right-footed shot straight into the corner of the six-yard box, but it was a big one. He held his head in frustration and did not move for a long time.

Pioli also lost faith in Di Vaio's form and was soon replaced by Acquafresca, who was replaced by Ramires for Moleo to strengthen the attack on the flanks.

Ramirez's introduction had an effect, and in the 71st minute, he dribbled down the left, past Giovinco and Modesto, and then tapped the ball across the middle.

Shi Hao stepped forward to catch the ball, but the moment he touched the ball, he spread his legs and let the football leak through, and he himself slid diagonally into the penalty area. Diamanti rushed over and fired a straight shot, Shi Hao received the ball about 14 meters from the goal, he took advantage of the situation to the left, dodged Zaccardo's outstretched leg, and then fired a low left-footed shot into the near corner. Parma goalkeeper Mirante had already moved early, but was probably blocked by Zaccardo and fell to the ground half a beat slower, without touching the football. He could only hope for the post to stand up, but the ball went straight into the corner and grazed the inside of the post and into the net.

At this moment, the 5,000 Bologna fans present at the Tardini Stadium created a huge cheer, silencing the voices of the 14,000 Parma fans. Shi Hao rushed to the stands where Bologna fans gathered, took off his jersey and waved it. At this time, he has been tested by professional football for more than a year, and his figure is already angular and attractive. His actions made the Bologna fans even more crazy, and one female fan even took off her jacket and threw it down, standing there shouting in only her underwear.

The referee who rushed over showed Shi Hao a yellow card, but Shi Hao shrugged his shoulders and said that it didn't matter, he would not be in Serie A next season, so what about accumulating yellow cards and suspension.

At this time it was the turn of the Palma people to be anxious. After the equaliser, they unleashed several waves of quality attacks. Especially in the 77th minute, Giovinco hoisted the ball into the penalty area on the left side of the penalty area, and Pelle's header hit the post, which made Bologna break out in a cold sweat.

As time passed, the mentality of the Parma players became more and more anxious, and the defenders frequently assisted, which also gave Shi Hao more opportunities.

In the 84th minute, Shi Hao made a one-two with Ramirez on the left side, and after taking the ball in the left corner of the penalty area, he ran all the way to the bottom line, and Zaccardo kept following him. Near the bottom line, Shi Hao did not slow down, and directly raised his left leg to make a cross.

Zaccardo trailed Shi Hao a little bit, and at this time, in order to block Shi Hao's cross, he directly put the shovel, his left leg touched the ground, and his right leg raised a little to block Shi Hao's cross.

Unexpectedly, Shi Hao's left leg fell down quickly after he lifted it, and he actually pulled the ball back, and the whole person made a 150-degree turn, and then continued to rush towards the goal. After taking a few steps, seeing that Mirante's position was a little forward, Shi Hao decisively got up and used the inside instep of his right foot to make an arc.

The ball flew high above Mirante's arm and plunged off the crossbar to the far post.

Paletta hurried to the goal line to clear the ball with his feet, but heard the referee's whistle blow and pointed to the centre circle.

The referee decided that the whole of the ball had crossed the goal line when it fell, and the goal was valid! (To be continued.) )
