Chapter 158: Bull Rigano(1/2)

Zhang Jun opened his eyes wide and looked at everything in front of him. Just now, a defender from Palermo made a fierce tackle knocked down Fiorentina striker Coconi to the ground, but the referee just waved his hand to get him up and did not warn the tacklers at all. Moreover, this situation is very common in the game.

Is this the second division? Zhang Jun repeatedly asked himself in his heart, can I persevere in such a game environment? Can I end this season safely without injury? Can I succeed here?

"Masmo! Why are you still lying on the ground? Get up and go back to defend!" Mondonico shouted to the field from the side.

Kokuni didn't complain, stood up from the ground and ran back.

Everyone got used to it... Zhang Jun was playing virtually in his mind, and he wanted to try to adapt to it. But in the end he gave up because he could only imagine in his mind, and could not determine whether he could not suffer any serious harm.

If you want to know if you can do it, it is useless to just be on the court. Then try it out.

This is an Italian Football League II match. Fiorentina faces Palermo at home. It took 30 minutes in the first half. Both sides made no achievements and the score was 0:0.

Zhang Jun did not start as many Chinese media speculated before the game. He was placed on the bench by Mondonico. However, sitting on the bench in Fiorentina and sitting on the bench in AC Milan are completely different.

At that time, he was anxious about every second he wasted on the bench, but now he sat down on the court with peace of mind, observing everything around him, and was not in a hurry to play.

Unless the coach lets him on the court.

"Zhang, go warm up now, you will go to the second half at the beginning." Mondonico suddenly turned his head and said to Zhang Jun beside him.

Zhang Jun was a little surprised. He didn't expect to play like this. He thought the head coach would let him go up and warm up in the last five minutes, and the outcome of this game had nothing to do with him. His chance should be in the next league game.

Judging from this situation now, it seems that he is asking him to take on the heavy responsibility, go up to attack the city and win the team.

When he showed up for the first time, he was given such high hopes without even calling him. Zhang Jun smiled and shook his head slightly, got up, took off his coat and ran to warm up.

What kind of meeting should he give to Fiorentine fans?

※※※

Zhang Jun was pulled in front of Mondonico, and listened to him in the noisy stadium in conjunction with body language to assign tasks to him: "You replace Masmo and partner with Christian. He is on the right and you are on the left. You only have one task on the field: score a goal! Do you understand? Don't care about returning to defense, just think about scoring a goal!"

He patted Zhang Jun on the shoulder and pointed to the court: "Go on the court!"

Before the game, Zhang Jun always thought that when he was about to play, he would have prepared everything. Now, he didn't know whether he was ready, because he felt that the first game gave him halftime, which made him not expect.

However... Zhang Jun pierced the purple Fiorentine jersey into his shorts. Since he was already standing here, he must be ready and he can't feel hesitant.

I can do it, no matter how intense the game is, I can do it! If I can score a goal, it doesn’t mean my depravity to reach Class B. On the contrary, I will be reborn from Class B!

Seeing Coconi limping down the field, Zhang Jun took a deep breath and then spit it out: Sophie, let's watch me play football!

After silently reciting this sentence in his heart, Zhang Jun couldn't help but smile. How long has it been since he said this?

When Masmo came out, he slapped Zhang Jun with some reluctance, put on the coat handed over by the staff and sat back on the bench.

Zhang Jun ran directly to the forward line. During the halftime break, he could see that Rigano was a little anxious, perhaps because he was eager to show his strength in front of him.

He doesn't seem to like himself very much. Can he cooperate with him?

The number on Zhang Jun was his favorite No. 11. When he came to Florence, he was surprised to find that no one in the team in Florence chose No. 11. Even if someone's number was as large as No. 85, no one would wear No. 11.

Zhang Jun feels pretty good to be able to wear the number he likes.

Dilivio called out to Zhang Jun who ran past him: "Are you ready? Class B is very different from Class A."

Zhang Jun made an "OK" gesture to him.

Rigano always looked at Zhang Jun with a disdainful look. Most of the training in the first three days were physical training, and he did not see how powerful this Chinese boy was.

Zhang Jun also knew that many people in the team had the same view as Rigano. He was not a humble time now, so he should show his strength to prove it to others as soon as possible.

However, he has always been a center forward, and this time he has to face the situation of two center forwards. Mondonico did not tell him and Rigano who was the main offensive player, but just let them score goals. If Zhang Jun remembers correctly, the head coach also said this to Rigano who was a bit impatient during the break.

It seems that they are going to cooperate, but... Zhang Jun thought of Rigano's hand that was pinched by Rigano, and he felt that this seemed a bit difficult.

From Rigano's muscular development, we can roughly infer what his personality is like, and it may be difficult to change his attitude towards himself.

In the first attack, Maspero made a straight pass in the middle, and a loophole appeared in the middle of Palermo's defense line. This was a great opportunity for Fiorentina. However, Zhang Jun and Rigano were only concerned about watching the ball and ignored their positions. As a result, the two inevitably collided together and the ball was naturally lost.

This caused a burst of dissatisfaction in the stands of Frankie Stadium. In the eyes of the fans, it was naturally not good for the new Zhang Jun, and he did not have a tacit understanding in cooperation with the old player Rigano.

Amid the boo, Rigano was also a little annoyed. He waved his hand to Zhang Jun: "Can you run? If you collide with your teammates, you are still amateur!"

Faced with such obviously malicious verbal attacks, Zhang Jun must have been unable to bear this tone in the past. But now, he just shook his head and smiled bitterly, and walked away silently.

Having such a teammate is really a headache.

※※※

"It seems that the two of them still lack tacit understanding." Assistant coach Bottoreto said in a somewhat abnormal situation on the court and facing Mondonico beside him.

"It's not just a lack of tacit understanding." Mondonico knew the relationship between the two, but he wanted to force the two of them together. "Whether we can win in this game depends on their performance."

"Don't make any other adjustments?" Bottoreto frowned, a little worried about the head coach's calmness.

"No, making adjustments may not be useful. If the relationship between them is not handled well, then it will be another dream to move Fiorentina to the first level this season."

※※※

Another opportunity! When Maspero was dribbling horizontally in front of the penalty area, he agilely discovered another gap in the middle. The inertia of the midfield passer allowed him to pass the ball into the gap as soon as possible. As long as the ball could pass through, any forward could form a single-killing kill.

Fiorentine fans cheered for the wonderful pass, while the Palermo defender was in a panic.

But the ball passed smoothly, but the person didn't get in. Zhang Jun and Rigano were looking at each other in surprise.

They all thought the other party would catch the ball!

Another boo.

Rigano was naturally very angry, and he opened his mouth and wanted to scold him. But Zhang Jun suddenly thought of something, and he waved his hand and took the initiative to take the responsibility: "I'm sorry, my question!" This move made Rigano unable to curse his words, so he had to spit on the ground angrily. He thought he was unlucky, so he asked him to have such a partner?

Zhang Jun had another idea. He was willing to take the initiative to take the responsibility for the failure of this offense because he suddenly thought that neither of them planned to catch the ball, which was certainly lacking in tacit understanding. But from another perspective, he did not catch the ball because he thought that Rigano would take the initiative, so he gave the opportunity to him. So is it the same with Rigano? Maybe he also wanted to give the opportunity to me that such a misunderstanding occurred.

Thinking about it this way, this muscular man is not that bad. At least sometimes he will consider his teammates.

Zhang Jun thinks he is a new player, so it is appropriate to maintain the necessary respect for the old players. Especially these old players are fighting for Florence in the low-level league without caring about rewards, which is indeed worthy of their respect.

Since Rigano is the top scorer in the team now, I will sacrifice it for the time being and let it assist him. I am not only good at shooting.

※※※

After learning the last two lessons, Maspero did not dare to make a straight pass in the middle anymore. He spread the ball more to both sides, either to Rigano or to Zhang Jun. The two had completely different directions, and they would only fail to receive the ball, but they were not afraid of making jokes because of insufficient tacit understanding.

Of course, Rigano was given more times than it was sent to Zhang Jun.

This time, in front of the penalty area, Rigano received the ball passed by Maspero to him and suddenly shot from a long shot!

Palermo goalkeeper was very focused and hit the ball with both fists, with a corner kick!

Although the ball was not scored, Fiorentine fans still cheered for Rigano.

He is indeed popular here, no wonder the fans and the media call him the "New God of War". Zhang Jun looked around the stands and had no good results when he went against such a popular person. If he didn't want to be isolated like he was in Milan, he had to learn to have a good relationship with these people.

Zhang Jun used to think that as long as he proved his strength on the court, he could successfully integrate into a team. As a result, his experience in Milan told him that getting along with people is not that simple, which is ten thousand times more difficult than using "Longteng" to score a hat trick in the game.

Someone always has to make sacrifices.

The corner kick was taken out, and the back point was clicked!

Zhang Jun appeared correctly at the landing point of the ball. He jumped up, and there was no Palermo player by his side! If he shot, then with his head skills, the chance of making the ball is quite high.

The goalkeeper knew that this was a shooter from AC Milan, so he couldn't underestimate him, so he hurriedly moved his footsteps and hurriedly blocked his angle.

In this way, the plan will be changed. Zhang Jun jumped in the air, staring at every move of the goalkeeper, and his eyes glancing at the middle of the goal, where he seemed a little empty because he was at the back point, because the defenders rushed towards him.

In this chaos, in the air, Zhang Jun saw a purple figure, which was Rigano No. 9, a strong man.

Without a trace of hesitation, nor did he consider whether giving up the scoring opportunity to do him. He tried hard to ferry the football into the middle!

None of the defenders and goalkeepers could touch the ball, allowing the football to fly to Rigano, where there was no one in the middle.

Rigano only saw the ball coming, but did not pay attention to who passed it. Seeing that the ball was at a moderate height and speed, he didn't even think about it, and he rushed to the top!

The football flew into the empty goal, and the goalkeeper turned his body around and happened to see the football hit the net.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!" A huge roar broke out on Frankie Stadium!

Rigano was very excited after scoring the goal, and rushed to the corner flag and held the flagpole to celebrate. Even the celebration was like Batistuta. Zhang Jun watched his teammates run towards him, he hesitated, and finally chose to stand outside and smile.

Rigano seems to dislike him now, and he rashly stepped forward to show too many intimate words, which would be too embarrassing if he was rejected.

After celebrating with everyone, Rigano just glanced at Zhang Jun in the distance and had no intention of coming up to celebrate.

Zhang Jun smiled bitterly. Fortunately, he didn't go up just now and was prescient.

※※※

Mondonico also had a headache. It seemed that Zhang Jun's active assist did not gain Rigano's favor. If this was not possible, he would have no choice.

This problem really needs to be solved by two people on the field.

Fortunately, we are still ahead now.

※※※

When Zhang Jun was dead, he would consider what to do with his relationship with Rigano. In the past, when he was playing football, no matter where he was, he only thought about how to send football into the opponent's gate and ignored anything else. Now this makes him feel very tired, but he must do this, otherwise how can he stand alone in this unfamiliar environment?

His experience in Milan taught him a lot. Maybe he was not clear about it when he was there, but now he has only begun to understand something slowly in Florence.

How naive he was in the past!

It is unrealistic to mature in a game in a few days, but he can work hard in that direction.
To be continued...
