Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 37
Zhang Yuan feels that his New Year's Eve is at least going well. Yesterday's goal is a good gift, and the most gratifying thing is that he has no one to eat for the whole day, and there is always someone to accompany him by accident. , not so alone.

The team resumed training the next day, preparing for the battle with Bologna. Bologna was relegated from Serie A to Serie B last season. They were also one of the clubs where Zhang Yuan participated in the so-called trial training. Now Zhang Yuan passed the second This game finally let the whole Serie B know that there is a lightning kid named Zhang Yuan in Rimini, and Bologna naturally knows it too. As for whether they regret missing Zhang Yuan, this is not what Zhang Yuan knows!But against Bologna at home, he wanted to prove himself in his heart, and let Bologna know the consequences of missing himself.

On February 2th, Rimini played against Bologna at home. Due to the team's good home record recently, the number of spectators is now much larger than before, and the stadium is basically full.

Akoli still did not arrange Zhang Yuan to start in this game, and he was still a substitute.The media was generally optimistic about Rimini before the game, mainly because Rimini has won two consecutive victories, while Bologna has lost two consecutive games, losing to Spezia away and Piacenza at home. The media rumored that their head coach Ulivieri had conflicts with the boss and had disagreements, which affected the morale of the army.

After the start of the game, Rimini, who played at home, took the initiative, but Bologna's defense was extremely tenacious, which made Rimini unable to score. In the first half, the two teams finally scored a goalless score.

After the exchange of venues in the second half, Rimini still took the initiative, but Bologna still failed to let Rimini attack successfully. Akori was very anxious on the sidelines, but he did not intend to make premature substitutions. The advantage on the field belongs to Rimini. , It may be counterproductive to change players hastily. The other ones who can be replaced are Zhang Yuan and Matri. Zhang Yuan is not the kind of pure shooter. That kind of point-grabbing striker, and Matri has always been not very optimistic about him, thinking that he is not as good as Jada, so it is better to keep the current lineup!
It was 75 minutes before he decided to make a substitution, replacing Moscalderli with Zhang Yuan. There are still nearly 30 minutes left in the game, leaving Zhang Yuan with a lot of time. He pinned his hopes on Zhang Yuan Can help the team.

The audience on the sidelines saw Zhang Yuan appearing on the stage, and there were warm cheers and applause. The commentator also said: "Our Lightning Boy has appeared!" It seems that Zhang Yuan is Rimini's secret weapon, and Lightning Boy has appeared , you wait to die!
After Zhang Yuan played, he still moves freely in the frontcourt. He often switches positions with Pagano in the center and Ricciuti in the left. The effect is still there, but it is reflected in the ball possession rate, which is higher. But the opportunities still haven't been created much.When Zhang Yuan planned to rely on his personal ability to seek goals, he found that Bologna's shrinking defense was very effective for Zhang Yuan today. Neither shooting nor passing was effective. Zhang Yuan could only try to drive the opponent's defense by running more, but the effect of his efforts was still not obvious.

In the end, the game could only end 0:0. The audience was disappointed, Akoli was disappointed, the players were disappointed, and Zhang Yuan was also disappointed.

After the game, the reporters interviewed Zhang Yuan again and asked him his opinion on the game. Zhang Yuan expressed that he was very disappointed with the result of the game, but today everyone worked hard and played well, but luck was not on Rimini’s side. , and I feel very sorry that I did not help the team.

At the post-match press conference, Arcori and Zhang Yuan also said that the ball was really due to Rimini's luck and it was unreliable, and they blamed the draw on luck!But the head coach of the visiting team, Ulivieri, didn't think so. He said the draw was a reasonable result. He praised his players and thought that his team restricted Rimini's attack very well, and the opponent didn't create at all. What a good opportunity!When the reporter asked about Zhang Yuan's performance, he said that he admired Zhang Yuan very much and thought that Zhang Yuan was a genius, but now he still needs competition experience. He thought it was a mistake for Bologna to miss Zhang Yuan.

No matter how much the opponent's head coach exaggerates Zhang Yuan like a flower, Zhang Yuan can't be happy. The revenge that was originally said!As a result, his mediocre performance was the high expectation of the fans of the home team, but in the end he disappointed the fans of the home team. He secretly made up his mind that he must work hard on shooting and passing. He has improved but it is not enough.

For the next training, Zhang Yuan didn’t even miss the night, and found a place to practice extra at night, so he contacted shooting and passing. Several roommates felt that this guy was crazy. He was so tired during the day, and he practiced extra at night. !But Zhang Yuan just persisted. After a few days of practice, he felt that the effect of his practice was not good. No one passed the ball, no one kept the goal, and no one defended. So he tried his best to encourage the three roommates to practice together, like a senior. Explained to the three roommates the benefits of extra training. The general idea is that if you don’t do extra training, you will never be able to become a football star. In the end, the three roommates were persuaded!The team for additional training has expanded to four people, and these four people are really strange. The goalkeeper, defender, and forward are all there, and there is only one midfielder!
It has to be said that with three more people, the effect of the extra training is much better, and the four of them also benefited a lot from the extra training, so this way of extra training can be regarded as the fixed program of the four of them every night.

Mai Xuewen and Docelia returned to Italy at the end of February after spending more than ten days of vacation. Of course, Mai Xuewen brought some Chinese food to Zhang Yuan, allowing Zhang Yuan to taste the authentic Chinese taste again, which was a little comforting It made Zhang Yuan feel homesick.

On March 3, Rimini challenged Modena away, and Zhang Yuan went on an expedition with the team. Akori directly put Zhang Yuan into the starting lineup this time. The formation is still 3. Zhang Yuan is equivalent to replacing Moscaldelli's position, but this time It was still not their lucky day, they still had nothing to gain in the away game, and they shook hands with Modena 4231:0.

After the game, the local media was already asking what happened to the team. Two games, two zero to zero, no goal!Fortunately, it was only one media that wrote reports like this, and no other media followed suit, otherwise it would definitely bring a lot of pressure to the team!Sometimes this kind of pressure is the motivation, but sometimes if you are not careful, the pressure will really become the straw that breaks the camel's back!
On March 3, Rimini really let the fans of the home team know that there is no limit to a draw. After two consecutive draws, they ushered in Naples. Naples played very well this season and has always been at the forefront of the standings. After Juventus is They are now in the middle of the whole season, and the entire Napoli people have shouted the slogan of returning to Serie A. Facing such a strong enemy, Rimini is also full of energy, trying to sweep away the bad luck of the first two rounds , Unfortunately, Naples did not let them do so.

In the first half, Naples took a 11-1 lead early in the 0th minute, and withstood Rimini's counterattack, keeping the score until the end of the midfield.

In the second half, the two sides were evenly matched, and each other contributed to each other. Until the 72nd minute, Zhang Yuan, who continued to start the game, received a cross pass from Ricciutti and shoveled the ball into the net near the small penalty area to equalize the score.In the next 10 minutes, the two sides created opportunities, but they were a bit far from the goal. The game finally ended 1:1, and Rimini ushered in a three-game tie in the league.

At the post-match press conference, the reporters began to find fault with Akeli, and asked about the reason for the three consecutive draws. This time, luck can no longer be used as an excuse, but they underestimated Akeli’s lower limit. Corey still blamed the three consecutive flats on luck, and said that the three consecutive flats are normal, there is nothing abnormal, and the three consecutive flats are not the end of the world, so journalists don’t need to make a fuss!
In fact, since the three consecutive draws, Akori is also thinking about the problem, what happened to the team? !One game may be said to be unlucky, but three games can never be said to be unlucky, there must be problems in those aspects!
After the Naples game, he found the video of the last three games with three consecutive draws, and carefully studied which aspect had the problem.After several days of watching the game repeatedly, he found that the team had few ways to deal with the opponent's intensive defense. The 4231 formation gave the opponent a strong sense of oppression in the frontcourt, forcing the opponent to shrink the defense, but his own frontcourt The ability of the players to seize opportunities is still insufficient, and scoring goals is very problematic.Analyzing Zhang Yuan again, Zhang Yuan needs more room for breakthrough in this situation, but the opponent has obviously strengthened the defense after the previous games, so there is not much room for Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan's own imagination is limited. , but the level of passing still needs to be improved, so the role of Zhang Yuan on the field in the first two draws is not very obvious.In this game against Naples, both sides had mutual offense and defense, which gave Zhang Yuan enough space, his running position and breakthrough improved again, and he finally scored a goal.

Zhang Yuan's strength is enough to play the main force in the team, but the current formation can't display Zhang Yuan's strength. Akori decided after much deliberation that Zhang Yuan should still be able to play, so he can only change the formation and adjust to what formation is more OK!He analyzed it carefully, and felt that the adjustment from 4231 to 442 might have a better effect. Both wings retreated to the midfield, and the four players in the midfield stood in parallel. It is more flexible, playing the nine and a half position, let Zhang Yuan play an organizational forward like Celikini did, and make room for Zhang Yuan in the frontcourt. After the midfielder recovers, it is easier for the two forwards to attack.
