Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 46
Zhang Yuan was very tired, because his running today far exceeded his usual level, and Zanetti was very difficult to deal with, so he had to strengthen his running.The situation changed suddenly in the second half, Juventus suppressed Rimini too hard, and Zhang Yuan also had to participate in the defense. He pressed in the frontcourt and kept running, trying to change the rhythm of Juventus' backcourt players. Be quick, there may be mistakes.

As a result, in the 65th minute, he felt that he really couldn't run anymore. Even Zanetti could see it, and lowered his guard against Zhang Yuan. As a result, the opportunity came at this time, and Juventus' frontcourt attack failed. , the ball was pushed out by Digan, and Bolkiah kicked forward aimlessly. As a result, the ball passed the midfield and went straight to the Juventus half. Zhang Yuan was still in the midfield at this time. He started, and Zanetti chased after him. Zhang Yuan successfully unloaded the ball, made an emergency stop to avoid Zanetti, turned around with a pull ball, and wiped past Zanetti's right side. The ball accelerated, and the front It was Kovac, followed by Zanetti. Zhang Yuan seemed to be in a desperate situation blocked at both ends, but Zhang Yuan did not back down. This time he planned to use his speed to catch Kovac. Sliding past Kovacs, the speed was too fast, and Zhang Yuan deliberately bypassed Kovacs, but Kovacs didn't even have a chance to grab his clothes.

Zhang Yuan did not grasp the power of the ball this time. After all, his physical strength has declined, and his control over the ball has also declined. The ball was too big, and he was still chasing it. The audience seemed to see a lightning bolt towards Juventus' penalty area.

This time Buffon didn't hesitate, he attacked, but Zhang Yuan's lightning seemed to disappear suddenly, and his speed slowed down, but he still chased the ball forward with perseverance, but this time he failed to catch the ball Firstly, he was too big for the ball, and secondly, he was really at the end of his strength. He thought he could sprint for this distance, but his body was obviously not good enough. Buffon made a tackle, and the ball went out of the sideline. The ball, but also shoveled Zhang Yuan who rushed over by inertia.

Zhang Yuan fell to the ground and clutched his thigh in pain. Buffon spread his hands towards the referee with an innocent face, saying that he had tackled the ball first.In fact, he did not shovel Zhang Yuan's thigh, but Zhang Yuan fell down when he touched his leg.

The referee couldn't see clearly either. After consulting the linesman, he decided that Buffon did not foul, not a penalty.Ricciuti and Jada ran over to argue with the referee that it was a penalty kick, while several other players surrounded Zhang Yuan and asked about Zhang Yuan's situation.

Zhang Yuan endured the pain and pointed to his thigh and said, "It hurts here!"

The team doctor also ran into the field at this time, squatted down beside Zhang Yuan, and asked Zhang Yuan where the pain was. Zhang Yuan pointed to his inner thigh, and the team doctor felt a little bit in his heart. Maybe it was a strained thigh muscle.

He then asked Zhang Yuan if he could stand up by himself, Zhang Yuan did it himself, and with the support of the team doctor, he could barely stand up, but it hurts to walk.The referee came over and asked the team doctor to take Zhang Yuan to the sideline for treatment, and Zhang Yuan limped off the court with the support of the team doctor.

The team doctor checked Zhang Yuan's injury in detail again, and basically judged that Zhang Yuan's inner thigh muscle was strained. Martini heard the team doctor's judgment from the side, and his tense face immediately became ugly. Why is he so unlucky!Zhang Yuan has to end the game with three to 10 minutes left in the game!
When Martini told Akoli the news, Akoli was naturally upset. He was as unlucky as Martini thought, but now he had no choice but to make a substitution. Taking advantage of the chance of a sideline kick, Rimini completed the substitution Matt Zhang Yuan was replaced.

It is not surprising that Zhang Yuan was injured. His energy consumption was too great, but just now he used his own speed to break through while holding the ball, and he was injured while running.

The team doctor gave Zhang Yuan a simple treatment, wrapped an elastic bandage on his thigh, and prepared ice cubes for Zhang Yuan to apply on the bench.

After Zhang Yuan left the field, Juventus's offensive became stronger. After all, there was one less speed player in the frontcourt, and the speed and strength of the counterattack would be reduced. Now the two midfielders of Juventus are frequently coming forward. The speed can also be average in dribbling ability, but Matri is not a speed forward, and it is easier for the defense to defend them.

In the 76th minute, Juventus overtook the score. Zebina and Camoranesi made a double cross and then Trezeguet scored with a header. Degan's limited ability could not prevent Trezeguet.

This goal seems to have knocked Rimini's morale away. Only 4 minutes later, Rimini's players have not recovered from the last goal. No. 80 minutes, Del Piero in the left penalty area After receiving a pass from Nedved, he shot in an arc and broke through the gate guarded by Handanovic again, and the score became 3:1.
All the players on the bench in Rimini watched impatiently, and Zhang Yuan was even more impatient. The one-goal advantage in the first half was useless, but within 35 minutes of the second half, Juventus overtook the score by two goals. powerful.

Akori is also very depressed, but he has no good solution. If his tactics are right, he will be able to defend. The key depends on the players. Rimini players have limited personal abilities, and there is no good tactics. .There are many examples of the weak defeating the strong on the football field, but that is called an upset. In a specific season, there are not many examples of the weak defeating the strong. An upset is called an upset only if it rarely happens.Today's Rimini unfortunately failed to upset, losing to Juventus is normal.

In the rest of the time, Juventus slowed down the attacking rhythm and began to play possession, and Rimini's players did not give up, but in the end it was useless. The referee blew the final whistle and Rimini finally Lost a 1:3 away game, harvested a two-game losing streak in the league.

At the post-match press conference, the reporters began to bombard Akori indiscriminately. Why?It's very simple. After Akori shouted the promotion slogan, the team unfortunately suffered a two-game losing streak. At this time, everyone will look at Akori's promotion slogan with suspicion.

"Mr. Akoli, how do you comment on today's game?"

"Juventus is very strong. In the first half, we did a good job of restricting the opponent's offense, and we also caught the opponent's mistake and scored a goal. But in the second half, we were not well organized in defense! They had a lot of opportunities, and they didn't waste them, and they completed the overtake. I think this is a regrettable result, but it is also a fair and reasonable result." Akori said realistically.

"Is today's loss due to Zhang Yuan's injury?"

"No, no, our team is a whole. The loss is not because of the responsibility of the players nor because of Zhang Yuan's end. I am responsible for the loss!" Akori wanted to relieve the pressure on his players. Now I'm not sure if my team members have lost their minds because of their upgrade goals.

"Is Zhang Yuan's injury serious?"

"After the team doctor's examination, it was preliminarily determined that the thigh muscle was strained, but further examinations are needed to confirm."

"Before you shouted the slogan of promotion, did you put too much pressure on your players and suffered a two-game losing streak?"

"I don't think so, until now I still believe that we can upgrade, we are not far behind the front! My players are all professional players, they will work hard for promotion just like me, there is pressure but it is not that we lose The reason for the ball, there are many uncertain factors in a game, these will affect the result of the game." Akori laughed a little.

"There are ten rounds left in the league. Zhang Yuan is injured and absent. Will it affect the team's performance?"

"There must be some impact, but we also have other players. The team is a whole. I believe the team will not be affected by Zhang Yuan's absence. We will try our best to win. Besides, Zhang Yuan's injury is not sure now. , maybe after two rounds he will be able to come back."

Didier Deschamps was also at the press conference after the game. When the reporter asked about his views on the game, he thought that today's game was very difficult. Rimini caused a lot of trouble for Juventus in the first half. After adjustments in the second half Much better, he specifically mentioned Zhang Yuan, thinking that Zhang Yuan's end was an important turning point in the game.

Several players from the two teams were also interviewed in the mixed zone after the game. Rimini’s player Ricciuti shared the same opinion as Akori’s that his team’s defense was not very good in the second half. Well, as for Zhang Yuan, he hopes that his injury will not be too serious, because Zhang Yuan is an important member of the team.Several Juventus players are as polite as Didier Deschamps, thinking that the score does not explain that this game is quite difficult, and Rimini also caused them a lot of trouble.

After the game, Raiola immediately called the Rimini club Mutorari. He wanted Zhang Yuan to undergo a more comprehensive examination in the hospital in Turin. After all, Rimini’s medical level is not as good as A metropolis like Turin.After obtaining the consent, Raiola contacted the team here and asked to keep Zhang Yuan in Turin for further examination. Akori also agreed. He also hoped that Zhang Yuan could undergo a comprehensive examination to determine the injury and let him He knew the real situation earlier so that he could make adjustments to the entire team earlier.

Accompanied by Mino Raiola and a team doctor the next day, Zhang Yuan went to the hospital for an MRI examination. The situation was neither optimistic nor pessimistic. A strained thigh muscle was diagnosed, but he was expected to rest for about a month.

This time, Raiola sent Zhang Yuan back to Rimini. Raiola also felt a little helpless about Zhang Yuan’s injury. To create momentum for Zhang Yuan, he plans to transfer Zhang Yuan to Rimini this summer. Rimini is too small to provide better help for Zhang Yuan's growth, but this time Zhang Yuan will miss Rimini due to injury At least 6 games, the attention will definitely decrease, and it is hard to say whether it can attract the attention of other clubs by then.
