Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 25 No.20 Five Friendly Matches

"Haha, Brother Mai, I think you are interested in others?" Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

"Isn't it possible?!" Mai Xuewen admitted generously.

"Cut, I don't think it's going to work, how easy is it to love a foreign country!" Zhang Yuan deliberately said nonsense.

"Zhang Yuan, look at how great Docelia's figure is, and her skin is also good."

"Okay, this is the legendary beauty in the eyes of the beholder! She is also good at fisting and kicking, you should prepare a few washboards when you get married!" Zhang Yuan walked towards home without looking back. .

"Damn, haven't you heard of love at first sight? I think I've fallen in love!" Mai Xuewen chased Zhang Yuan and said.

"Damn, I can't tell that you're old, and you're still a young man!"

"Am I that old? I'm only 28 this year!"

"First of all, let me emphasize that firstly, you are unrequited love. People have rejected your invitation. You didn't realize it. Second, foreign love has no good results, and all habits are different. Can you accept it?" Zhang Yuan is like a lover. expert.

"Hey, you know so much, how many times have you been in love?"

"Not once. You'll understand after watching too many TV dramas!"

"Ha, that's bullshit. You believe in TV dramas. Love is like the sun and rain. You're too young to understand!"

"Okay, if you want to chase, just go, I wish you success!"

"Of course I'm going. I'll go to that place to guard tomorrow, maybe she will show up!"

"Damn, you're brave enough, go back, aren't you afraid of being robbed again?"

"It's not as dangerous as you said! Such things as robbery are rare!"

"I've never met one since I came to Italy!" Zhang Yuan said depressingly.

"Hey, you think I've met it before! I haven't met it before, it's the first time today!" Mai Xuewen said.

"I really thought you had met before, you were so calm!" Zhang Yuan thought that Mai Xuewen had met before.

"I haven't encountered it before, so it's okay to be calm? You want money or your life!" Mai Xuewen replied.

The two chatted all the way, and when they got home, they simply reheated the leftovers at noon as dinner, and spent this Christmas Eve like this.

It would be a waste of time to spend the whole vacation doing nothing like this. Zhang Yuan resumed his usual work and rest time from the next day. The training base has been temporarily closed, so he found a venue outside and practiced alone every day In the afternoon, Mai Xuewen taught him Italian and English.Since he is in such a language environment all day long, he can learn Italian very quickly, and he can handle simple daily use.

The coaching staff pointed out that he still needs to improve his running position. Zhang Yuan is now looking for some videos to watch at night to see who’s who. He thinks that among the top scorers Inzaghi and Trezeguet have the best running positions, so I have collected the videos of these two people and watched them, which is very rewarding.

The entire vacation was spent in a fulfilling way under Zhang Yuan's planning. On January 2007, 1, the first team and youth team members all returned to the club and began to prepare for training.

Mai Xuewen naturally moved back to his rental house from the living room of Zhang Yuan's house. The three roommates also came back and brought Zhang Yuan late Christmas presents. very happy.

On the second day, the training of the whole team started. Celikini first gathered everyone and explained that tomorrow they would play against the first team. Others didn’t respond to it. Anyway, every time during the training period, the first team will look for it from their youth team. Looking for a feeling, Zhang Yuan was very excited. He was able to compete with the first team. It was very good. Although the first team and them were in the same training base, they would meet each other, but they hadn't competed yet!

Back home at night, I met Handanovic in the living room. Handanovic said with a smile, "Boy Lightning, you're going to fight me tomorrow. Let me see your strength!"

"Okay, then I will definitely kick through your gate!" Zhang Yuan said provocatively, showing half of his arm.

"Haha, you will definitely not be able to do it then, why don't we take a gamble!" Handanovic said nonchalantly, Rimini's youth team is terrible, everyone knows it!

"Okay, what are you betting on?" Zhang Yuan showed no sign of weakness.

"Well, let me think about it. Yes, if you score a goal, I will help everyone make breakfast for a week, okay?"

"This bet is so boring!" Zhang Yuan sighed.

"Then what are you betting on?" Handanovic asked.

"How about betting for a month if you want to gamble?" Zhang Yuan said.

"Okay, you can gamble for a month!" Handanovic agreed, never thinking that Zhang Yuan would not suffer anyway if he wins or loses, and Zhang Yuan contracted for the breakfast.

In the afternoon of the second day, the internal friendly match between the first team and the senior team started. Leonardo Accoli sent all the main players on the field this time, because Rimini will play away against Areso on January 1. It was the first game of Rimini's journey after the winter break. He really wanted to win. Rimini was in good shape before the end of the winter break. If he can continue that excellent state and win Areso, there should be no problem.

The youth team is indeed relatively weak, but Celikini has always used Zhang Yuan as the core of the offense recently, and the offensive and defensive systems have been greatly improved at the same time. In addition, it is an internal game after all, and players on both sides play more carefully. It's not very good to hurt yourself, so the two sides can be regarded as coming and going, but generally speaking, the first team's ball possession rate is dominant.

In less than 10 minutes, the first team scored a goal. The goal was Argentine left midfielder Ricciuti. He received the ball from Brazilian striker Jada at the front of the penalty area and broke the youth team's goal with a long shot. Gate, 1:0.

The players of the youth team are used to it anyway. It is not a shame to be scored, and there is no fluctuation in mentality.Zhang Yuan doesn't think so. He wants to win no matter what the game is. He struggles and loses without regret. This is his style. After Ricciutti scored, he ran more aggressively and retreated deeper. The team members all know that Zhang Yuan, a kid from the youth team, is nicknamed "Lightning Boy". Only when he actually played the game did he realize that this kid is really like Lightning, with explosive power at his feet and good ball control.

Off the court, Akeli pointed to Zhang Yuan and asked Celikini: "That kid is Zhang Yuan, the Lightning Boy?"

Celikini looked at Zhang Yuan, who was constantly breaking through, passing the ball, and connecting the frontcourt offense, and said proudly: "Yes, our Lightning Boy, a real genius!"

"Well, it's interesting! How about letting him report to the first team after this game?" Akori felt that Zhang Yuan's level was significantly higher than that of the youth team, and it was too wasteful to play in the youth team.

"What? To the first team? He's only 16 years old, not yet 17. How about going to the first team so early?" Celikini was shocked.

"What's wrong, playing early has the advantage of playing early!" Akoli said.

"I was counting on him to help us make it to the playoffs!" Selikini muttered.

"Okay, okay, what's the point of the playoffs! I still want to upgrade! Is it realistic?" Akoli said, the promotion of the Rimini club is really like a dream!

"Don't just see his advantages, there are also many disadvantages!" Celikini thought it would be good for Zhang Yuan to go to the first team, but he wanted to tell Akoli about Zhang Yuan's overall situation.

"Let's hear it!" Akeli also wanted to know more about Zhang Yuan. He had only heard about it before, but he didn't know much about it. Today, seeing Zhang Yuan's performance far surpassing his peers, he temporarily decided to transfer Zhang Yuan to the first team. .

"First of all, from a physical point of view, his current confrontation ability is not good enough, and his body is a bit thin. Secondly, in terms of physical fitness, he used to be a student and an amateur player. He has not undergone professional training, and his physical fitness cannot keep up with high-intensity competitions. He has always been a striker, but he needs to improve a lot in terms of movement, and as a striker, his header can be said to be quite bad. But this kid is working hard, and he has improved a lot in these aspects in the past few months." Celikini analyzed Zhang Yuan's shortcomings.

"Well, these can be gradually improved. I think his advantages are what I need. What I think is that sometimes Zhang Yuan can go up and charge if he can't open the situation. He is fast and good at dribbling!" Ake Li said.

While the two were chatting, there were cheers from the young players on the field. Zhang Yuan scored a goal. He received a direct pass from his teammate and succeeded in anti-offside. Zhang Yuan swung past and shot into the net.

Handanovic angrily picked up the ball from the net and kicked it to the midfield, and said to Zhang Yuan angrily, "Boy, you have it!"

Zhang Yuan ran back and said with a smile, "One month's breakfast!"

Digan and Matri, who were not on the field, also applauded Zhang Yuan and winked at Handanovic gloatingly.

The score was equalized, but it didn't last long. Only 5 minutes later, the first team scored again. Jada received a pass from his strike partner Moscalderli and took a far corner near the penalty area. The youth team goalkeeper was out of reach.

At the end of the first half, Pagano of the first team scored again. It was a long-range shot from outside the penalty area. It was very powerful and hung in the upper right corner of the goal. The goalkeeper was helpless.

In this way, the two sides ended the first half with a gap of two goals. In the second half, Akori replaced Digan and Matri. Celikini also made some adjustments, and Zhang Yuan remained on the field.

The game restarted. The first team obviously strengthened their defense against Zhang Yuan, making him uncomfortable to hold the ball. This trick really played a certain role. Zhang Yuan fell to the ground frequently. He made bad moves, pushed you from behind, pushed you forward with one hand, and the opponent always pulled the jersey when Zhang Yuan dribbled the ball.

In fact, this was deliberately arranged by Akeli. He wanted to see how Zhang Yuan would deal with the situation when his body was not dominant.On the court, Zhang Yuan was also thinking about what to do. Being constantly entangled like this, the youth team's offense could not be played at all.

He thought for a while and decided that he could only increase his running, and his position became more erratic, taking the initiative to catch the ball instead of running around and waiting for the ball to pass as he did at the beginning. As a result, when Zhang Yuan did this, Domenic Cristiano, who was staring at him, also Keep up, but it is impossible to stick to Zhang Yuan all the time, let Zhang Yuan get possession of the ball several times, and always pass the ball before Cristiano gets close.

The frontcourt attack of the first team failed once, and Zhang Yuan took the initiative to catch the ball from the left side again, and Cristiano followed closely, but this time Zhang Yuan did not pass the ball, but pulled the ball with a Marseille maneuver behind Cristiano’s back Get away from where Cristiano can touch and turn around, then poke the ball in the opposite direction, the ball quickly passed by Cristiano, Zhang Yuan also accelerated and rushed past him, Cristiano did not respond at all , The two fake moves in succession were too fast, he really didn't have time to react, he wanted to turn around and chase after him, but he fell to the ground without adjusting his center of gravity.

Zhang Yuan catches up with the ball and rushes forward. There are only two central defenders Digan and Bolkiah of the first team in front, and the two full-backs Regonesi and Vitiello are rushing back. Gan went up to grab the ball, and Zhang Yuan pretended to dribble the ball horizontally. Digan thought that he was going to shoot in the middle, and wanted to block Zhang Yuan's horizontal route from the corner first. As a result, Zhang Yuan made a smash, passed the right side of Digan and went straight to the baseline. Cut inside into the small penalty area. Bolkiah has rich experience. Seeing Digan being passed by, Zhang Yuan cut inside from the baseline. Mi Yuan, one is to prevent Zhang Yuan from hitting the far corner, and the other is that another striker of the youth team has almost reached the penalty area so that he can do his best to block Zhang Yuan's crossing line.

Zhang Yuan did not pass the ball, but shot directly. Seeing that the angle was blocked, Zhang Yuan decided to shoot the ball from the ground to a close angle. The ball was fast and the distance was a bit close. Handanovic was a little hesitant about the ball. He thought it was possible for Zhang Yuan to pass the ball. He is a little more aggressive, and if he really passes the ball, he has a greater chance of scoring a goal, so what he thinks in his heart is that Zhang Yuan passed the ball and he must react immediately and save to the left side of the goal. The door rolled into the gate, and Handanovic thumped the ground fiercely. This guy shot from such an obvious angle!What a shame, he got into another one!
He was not the only one who was depressed on the court. Several big brothers in the first team were played by Zhang Yuan. Cristiano secretly said: "This little guy really deserves to be the "Lightning Boy". He moved too fast just now!" Degan thought of the past I also watched Zhang Yuan play football. I didn't expect this kid to be really difficult to deal with, and he changed directions very quickly!Regonesi and Vitiello, who were chasing back, could only shake their heads. They were attacking too high, and they were all pretending to chase back. In fact, Zhang Yuan dribbled the ball so fast that they couldn't catch up.Matri thought to himself in the front: "No matter what, we have to score a goal, don't let this kid compare!"

Akoli applauded off the court, and Selikini proudly said to him: "How is it?, Kid Lightning is not bad, is he?"

"What a genius! The ability to read the game is very strong. Playing as a striker is not as good as playing an attacking midfielder. It has a greater effect and is more beneficial to the team!"

"But he basically defends poorly!" Celikini said. Rimini is not a strong team, and they are destined to put defense first. Zhang Yuan plays an attacking midfielder, so the defensive strength of the midfielder One point less is not good for the team's overall defense. If it is a forward, the impact will be much smaller, and it is a pity not to play forward at such a fast speed.
