Chapter 86 A mere two meters(1/2)

Zhang Jun's record of scoring goals in every game in the league was finally over, but it was not a battle between Shields and Spears. It was just that he hit four goals in ninety minutes, including three posts and one crossbar.

When the game was about to end, Zhang Jun took the ball in front of the penalty area and turned around and took a shot. The football drew a wonderful arc and flew to the far corner of the goal. The goalkeeper had already surrendered his gun and watched the football...

Hit the door post.

With a crisp sound, Veronica sighed. Zhang Jun stood there regretfully with both hands. He did not score the ball, and Warren Dam was tied by Willem II at home.

When the referee blew the whistle and ended the game, Zhang Jun let out a deep breath. Whether it was 12 rounds of the league, seventeen goals, which was already a record for the Dutch Super League. It took him a season to score twenty-two goals last year, but this year only had twelve rounds of the league, so there was only five goals apart. This is certainly an extremely brilliant achievement and a topic for fans to talk about, but for Zhang Jun, it is also an extremely heavy burden. Every time he plays on the court, he always thinks "must score, must score", and it is really a bit tiring to play football like this.

This record ends, let it end. People will no longer talk about whether Zhang Jun can score goals in the next game and whether he can continue to record such a topic. He can finally play his own football, which will not belong to the football critic or the boring record.

On November 23, Warren Dam shook hands with William II at home, and Zhang Jun's almost crazy goal storm finally settled.

On December 4, Warren Dam faced Roosendaal at home. Zhang Jun still did not score, but he contributed two assists. Hener's two goals allowed the team to cleanly cut the opponent 2:0.

On December 7, at Amsterdam Arena, Warren Dam's surprising 14-round unbeaten record was finally announced. The ending was Ajax. 0:3, who was also clean and neatly killed. Zhang Jun performed mediocrely in the game and was substituted in the 65th minute of the second half, but still scored no goals.

After the game, Warren Dam also fell from the third place in the league and ranked fifth. Many media believe that the impact of the summer transfer incident has finally revealed its clues, and Zhang Jun will step by step into the trough.

Faced with these doubtful voices, what would Zhang Jun do?

On December 14th, in the 15th round of the league, he faced Alkmaar (AZ) at home. Zhang Jun used a direct free kick of 23 meters to make everyone who suspected him shut up. It was Zhang Jun's second free kick in the league, a ball with excellent angle, speed, arc and strength. The arc drawn by the football is as charming as his smile after scoring the goal.

After the game, a reporter commented: What kind of mentality supports him to keep scoring goals? And what kind of mentality makes him smile so relaxed after scoring? If every powerful shot at the beginning of the season, every roar after scoring means that he is protesting to Milan, or even demonstrating, then now, when you see him picking the defender and pushing the shot, and after seeing him score the goal, open his arms and close his eyes, and listen to the cheers with a smile, we know that he is really enjoying football, and the summer of 2003 is gradually moving away from him, and a real Zhang Jun is coming towards us. Regardless of whether he continues to score or not, as long as he still plays on the court with a smile, it is enough.

Oh, and one more thing I forgot: Never doubt him.

Yang Pan was only played in the reserve team for a month before he was recalled to the first team again, because as the league progressed, the physical strength of the elderly players in the team gradually developed some problems, including Nelvo. In addition, Yang Pan performed very well in the reserve team, with two goals and four assists that Mazoni could not ignore. In late November, he was recalled to the first team. Although he lost to Roma at home on November 23 and drew away on November 30, he did not make it to the roster, but Yang Pan had a feeling that Mazoni already understood his abilities and was not far from when he really played.

Sure enough, on December 7, Yang Pan was selected into the 18-man roster in the home game against Ancona. This news made the Chinese media, who had been depressed for two months, excited for a while. But this time, no one dared to think that Yang Pan would play. The media maintained a cautious attitude on the game.

Judging from the first half, this was a perfect game. The opponent's own goal in the three minutes of the game and a goal-shot in front of the goal in the 27th minute gave the home team a 2-0 lead. Nervo scored his third goal this season and was still in good shape. It seemed that as long as Yang Pan sat on the bench, he would have endless energy. When Nervo scored, the camera faced Yang Pan on the bench again, trying to capture a different news. But they were disappointed, and Yang Pan threw off the towel in his hand at the first time and jumped up to cheer for the goal.

Yilan saw Yang Pan cheering for her competitor's goal in front of the TV, and she didn't know what to say.

The other party is your competitor! Idiot, I really don’t know what he is thinking in his mind!

Yilan suddenly woke up, why did she worry about him?

※※※

During the halftime break, Nelvo was praised by Mazzoni, and he was humble, but still couldn't hide his pride. "Hey! Stop pretending, Carlo. Your competitor is still warming up outside!" Locatelli whispered to Nelvo.

“…”

※※※

Yang Pan wanted to play, but he couldn't express it. He knew that as a newcomer, he was not qualified to make any requests to the head coach. Being a person should be low-key, and the traditional Chinese thoughts are rooted in the heart.

But as a young man, having impulsiveness in his heart but not being able to vent his body will damage his body.

"Bang!"

The football hit the billboard behind the goal, the poor billboard.

At the beginning of the second half, Captain Signori won another game, and a shot from the penalty area expanded the lead to three goals. The game seemed to be moving in an extremely beautiful direction.

Of course, if there is no opponent's two goals scored within ten minutes.

There were only cheers from the away fans in the Dalala stadium, and the home fans were silent. Ancona scored two goals in a row within ten minutes, allowing them to see hope of drawing away from home.

Bologna was in a very embarrassed manner in the next fifteen minutes. It was obvious that Nelvo had tried his best. Although there were less than fifteen minutes before the end of the game, Mazoni finally decided to replace him.

"Yang Pan, go and warm up." The translator turned the coach's words over.

"Yes!" Yang Pan stood up excitedly, then quickly took off his coat and ran to the sidelines to warm up.

Taking advantage of the absence of football, the camera aimed at Yang Pan who was warming up on the sidelines again. The meaning was so clear: Yang Pan is finally going to play!

The Chinese reporters in the press room were excited. They quickly wrote on their laptops or notebooks: "In the 31st minute of the second half, Yang Pan stood up from the bench. He quickly took off his coat. He knew that there was not much time left for himself..."

When the game was ten minutes away, Yang Pan walked towards the place where the midfield and the sideline intersected. Mazoni pulled the translator and finally told him: "Advance defense!"

Nelvo desperately tried to save the ball with a slippery tackle, but the football still rolled out of bounds. He didn't want the ball to go out of bounds because he saw Yang Pan standing on the sidelines. Everyone knew who he would replace.

Sure enough, the fourth official raised the sign: No. 7 and No. 21.

Nelvo got up from the ground and walked slowly to the sidelines, hugging Hignori on the side. His actions "wind" him the booed by Ancona fans - they agreed that Nelvo was deliberately delaying the game.

He beat Yang Pan, then put on the coat handed over by the staff and sat on the bench to rest. Mazoni turned around and said to him: "Good job, Carlo!"

Yang Pan ran two steps and came to the place where he served the ball outside the boundary. He finally got up and finally got up! Dalala's turf, Serie A turf!

Yang Pan stepped forward to interfere with Ancona's out-of-bounds ball, but the opponent threw the ball into the penalty area directly. Bologna's central defender Zanchi hit the ball in the future and flew towards Yang Pan.

Touch the ball so soon?

Yang Pan planned to stop the ball with his chest, but the ball stopped three meters away and was taken by the opponent again. There was a burst of exclamation in the stands, but fortunately the opponent's long shot was above the crossbar.

Signori clapped her hands and signaled to Yang Pan that nothing was wrong, don't take it to heart.

Yang Pan nodded vigorously.

"Will that fool be nervous?" Yilan, who was in front of the TV, said to herself.

"After all, it's his first Serie A game, so it's abnormal to be not nervous." My father continued.

※※※

Yang Pan's second touch was a tackle, which kicked the ball out of the sideline. His performance won applause from the home team fans, and everyone offered their encouragement to this Chinese young man who made his debut for the first time.

Immediately afterwards, Bologna began to counterattack, and they kept hitting the ball in front of the opponent's penalty area. Unfortunately, Locatelli's cross pass was cut off, and Ancona immediately counterattacked. At this time, Bologna had only three goalkeepers in the backcourt, and Ancona made a quick counterattack, and it was possible to face the goalkeeper directly with a three-pass and two-stroke.

Yang Pan started running back the moment Locatelli missed the ball. He expected the opponent to fight back, and it was very likely on the right. Bologna's right back went up to assist and had not returned to defense yet, so there was a lot of room there.

Sure enough, the opponent passed the long pass on the left, and forward Maurizio Ganz quickly inserted to chase the ball. At this time, Yang Pan's speed had already increased.

The football landed and bounced forward very high. Gonz decided to stop the ball with his chest when it fell again. But he didn't know that Yang Pan was only two meters away from him at this time...

Just two meters.

Bologna was close to Ancona's bench in the half, and Ancona's substitutes were loudly reminding Gonz to pay attention behind him, but their reminders were all drowned in the screams of home fans.

The football fell down, Gonz opened his arms slightly, jumped up slightly, and raised his chest and looked up to catch the ball.

Yang Pan sprinted forward while running at high speed.

Gonz felt a gust of wind passing by, and a figure jumped in the air, and stopped the football with his chest! He only saw the number on his back, the big "7".

Ten seconds and five seconds. When I saw this scene, Nelvo off the field somehow remembered this word.

Yang Pan, who landed, did not dare to neglect the ball and kicked the ball out of bounds with his feet. However, he didn't know that Gonz was completely stunned and didn't come up to force him. He could actually stop the ball and turn around to decide on the next move.

There was a huge cheer and applause from the Dalala Stadium, all of which were dedicated to Yang Pan, No. 7 in Bologna! The audience cheered for Yang Pan's wonderful steal in the air!

"Amazing speed, he ran almost in the blink of an eye at a distance of more than 50 meters! Maybe this Chinese boy would run faster than the ball!" the commentator on the scene roared.

Actively defend.

Yang Pan took a breath. He had just started to breathe heavily and was still nervous. But...

He took a deep breath and his heart gradually calmed down, which was much better than when he first appeared on the court.

The game was about to end, but Yang Pan became a right-back without realizing it. His speed, his quick turn, his tackle, and his header made the opponent unable to find any way on his side. He is really a qualified right-back.

But Yang Pan doesn't like it. His offensive vision is far greater than the defense.

At the end of the game, almost all the opponents overtook halftime, and they were eager to equalize the score.

Yang Pan successfully intercepted the ball on the right side of the penalty area. He looked up and looked for someone, but saw that all his teammates came back to defend, and there was no one in front of him.

The situation did not allow him to think anymore, and a team member of the opponent rushed forward with great momentum.

Is I a newcomer? The crotch is so big! Yang Pan pushed the ball on the inside of his foot, and the football crawled through the opponent's crotch. At the same time, Yang Pan accelerated and bypassed the defense. He penetrated the crotch! The human ball passed!

"Yang Pan dribbled the ball along the sidelines! His speed was very fast! Ancona's defenders were desperately returning to defense!"

Bologna fans cheered loudly, bringing the ball to the opponent's half is the safest defense. Yang Pan, who has been in the defensive task, finally broke out once, after all, he is the right forward.

However, the speed of dribbling is still not as good as running without the ball, and the distance between the defender and Yang Pan is shortening. Yang Pan glanced at his teammates, but he had not yet followed. His speed was too fast... He decided to talk slowly.

"Yang Pan stopped the ball behind and he braked suddenly!"

The defender couldn't brake and rushed over, but he quickly rushed back. Everyone thought the two would fall into a fight, right? Signori ran and reached out to ask for the ball, but Yang Pan knocked the ball behind him and turned around and rushed over again!

"Breakthrough again! Yang Pan seems to have endless energy to put on the field!"

Passing or shooting is a question now in front of Yang Pan. His angle after breaking through is not biased, and there are also a large angle when shooting. Passing can fully show his selflessness, but if you shoot, you will...

Yang Pan glanced at the goalkeeper and seemed to hesitate on this issue, because his position was a bit in the middle.

OK, just shoot!

The football jumped up, Yang Pan stepped steadily beside him with his left foot, and his right foot blasted at the football like a fire in the cannon chamber!
To be continued...
