Chapter 226 Difficult away games(2/3)

Cru suddenly grabbed Zhang Jun and whispered to him: "What are you doing? The captain... just fell behind with one goal, don't be so discouraged. Everyone is watching you! You have to do something, I passed the ball to you not let you waste it."

Zhang Jun was surprised by Yu Kru's outbreak, but he was not at the right time to think about this problem now. Kru was right at all. He was indeed a little disappointed just now. But now, I want to teach An Ke and Bayern a lesson!

Cru received the ball in the frontcourt again, and Barack rushed up to defend him immediately. But Cru didn't look ahead and directly picked the ball forward, just overtaking Barack's head running, and Zhang Jun received the ball behind him!

Turn around!

accelerate!

Sprint!

Zhang Jun is competing with Lucio for speed! Obviously, Lucio, who is no longer young, cannot stop Zhang Jun from rushing at full speed.

Zhang Jun's awareness of breakthrough is very firm, just relying on speed to break through without any tricks. Maybe he can't get rid of Lucio completely, but for Zhang Jun, it's enough to flash a little while to shoot.

Absent appears! Zhang Jun shot without hesitation!

Anke sealed the near corner, and the football hit his raised arm and bounced upwards. When Van Persie saw that he had the chance, he hurriedly ran towards An Ke. He planned to push the football into the empty goal in front of the goalkeeper. However, An Ke's second reaction was much faster than his expectations. An Ke jumped up flat, but instead grabbed Van Persie's front and took the football into his arms.

Zhang Jun, who had no goal, was not very depressed. Instead, he turned around and shouted at his teammates: "Okay! Offense! It's our turn to attack! There are still 80 minutes left, we have opportunities!"

"Bayern died every day!" There is no doubt that this was the yelling of that boy Xiang Tao. Fortunately, the Germans don't understand Sichuan dialect...

Cru's usual expressionless face also had a smile on his face.

Li Yongle sat on the sofa, holding his hands together, put them to his mouth, and murmured: "That's right, this is right. Zhang Jun, you must not lose to Bayern, you must keep it waiting for me to defeat you..."

※※※

"Fiorentina seems to have returned to normal. After a brief chaos after the blow, they launched an attack on Bayern's goal again. Sabato still had no expression, which is really incomprehensible. Recalling Fiorentina's strange performance in the last round, I always feel like there is a conspiracy... haha." The commentator joked. He must have associated Fiorentina's abnormal performance just now with the game in the last round.

The same idea as him was Bayern's head coach Magat. When he saw Florence's abnormal performance, he did suddenly think of the game a week ago. Fortunately, Florence soon returned to normal, which made Magat breathe a sigh of relief. In his opinion, Fiorentina, which continued to attack, was not scary at all. What was scary was the sudden abnormal Fiorentina. It seemed that he was afraid of Sabato.

Then Mascherano's long shot was confiscated by Anco, and Magath finally felt completely relieved. As long as everything goes according to normal conditions, he is confident of winning Fiorentina, not to mention that he has such a perfect start.

Fiorentina, this is our home court, you won’t be rampant for long! The hatred a week ago, let’s forget it together today!

Sophie was still wrapped in a bath towel and huddled in the sofa to watch the ball. There was an air conditioner in the room to adjust the temperature. It was logical that even if she wore a bath towel, she wouldn't feel cold. Moreover, it was mid-April now, and the weather was approaching summer little by little. But Sophie still couldn't stop her body trembling.

This was not because of the cold, but because of the nervousness and worry. The game completely attracted Sophie. She watched the TV without turning around, for fear of missing a shot. Her body shivered slightly as the game progressed without consciousness.

After twenty minutes of the game, Fiorentina was still behind, Bayern's defense was very steady, and it was also beneficial to them in their home court and penalty areas.

Away game is difficult!

But you can’t give up the game just because of this, Zhang Jun, come on!

Sophie bit her lip tightly.

※※※

Zhang Jun kicked hard and kicked a piece of grass. His shot just now was snatched by An Ke again, this time he was snatched, not save. An Ke did not let go, nor did he give Van Persie any chance.

Bayern, who returned to his home court, is indeed amazing. No wonder Anke would pull him to have dinner together before the game, because they didn't think they would lose to Fiorentina, a newly rising team, right?

Damn! I don’t accept it when I think about it! What’s wrong with Bayern Munich? What’s wrong with the giant team? There are so many big-name stars? You can be arrogant at home? Damn! I don’t believe this evil!

Zhang Jun thought about it as the gangster's aura gradually emerged.

Of course, Bayern is not just defending, and it is obviously not Bayern's style. It's just that in terms of ball control, Bayern lost slightly to Fiorentina. Their counterattack also created several opportunities, but Fiorentina's attack was crazy, which made many viewers think that Fiorentina now has the absolute advantage on the field.

Bayern's counterattack Sabato was also seen, but what can he do now? Let the team restrain a little and pay attention to defense? Don't be funny, this is against Sabato's own will.

He insists that "the best defense is offense". If he does not want Bayern's counterattack to threaten his goal, then the best way is to prevent Bayern from having the ability and time to counterattack once and for all.

Therefore, in the face of Bayern's sneak attack, Sabato's method is to put the team forward and create offside more.

This move is indeed effective. Many of Bayern's offenses have fallen into the offside trap of Fiorentina. However, offside trap is a very dangerous tactic. When you successfully use it nine times, you will not feel the full feeling at all, because once you fail the tenth time, it will be a fatal failure.

Fiorentina's offside tactics were used for the tenth time, and a mistake occurred. Kyle, who was dragging behind, did not follow up on the pace of all the defenders in time - he seemed to be still distracted by his own goal - gave Podolski the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity.

If the offside tactic fails, are you waiting to be scored? Of course, this is not the case. All the remaining hopes are placed on the goalkeeper.

At this time, pray to God, it is better to pray to the goalkeeper.

Podolski received a straight pass like Barack's scalpel and successfully counterattacked! He received the football and adjusted his speed to force him towards the goal of Florence.

At the same time, Frey resolutely abandoned the goal. At this time, all the goalkeeper's decisions must be firm. No matter whether it is attacking or staying behind, there is no need to hesitate at all. Hesitate for a second and lose all the game.

Podolsky did not look up at the situation ahead, which was his biggest mistake. So when Frey approached him, he even forgot to shoot, but instead swung the football to the side, hoping to break through the ground. But Frey is now the main goalkeeper of the French national team. This hasty breakthrough was useless for him. He flew out and drove the football away from Podolsky's feet with one hand, then quickly got up from the ground, and grabbed Podolsky's front and pressed the football firmly under him again.

"So beautiful! He saved Bayern's single shot! Frey! Bayern has an excellent goalkeeper like Anco, but please don't forget that Fiorentina also has an excellent goalkeeper - Sebastian Frey!!"

※※※

The people in front of the TV breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. When Podolski successfully countered offside just now, they all thought Fiorentina was dead this time - they were led by two goals before the first half was over. At Bayern's home court, the possibility of a successful reversal was almost 10%.

"What's going on?" Yang Pan frowned. "Kyle's condition is obviously not good. Is it a bit unwilling to go back to Germany? First, it was an own goal, and then another offside failed. If Sabato doesn't replace him, I'll see the game below Fiorentina."

Kaka smiled faintly: "It's not good to substitute people in less than 30 minutes of the game, right? What's more, based on our understanding of Sabato, is he the kind of person who is eager to replace him because the player made a mistake? It's better to watch the game honestly and see what counterattacks Florence can do."

※※※

Xiang Tao was a little angry at Kyle's absent-mindedness. Because Florence's offside tactics are basically the commander. Now that he has made a mistake, he has to bear the responsibility for poor command.

Anderlecht of Belgium is the originator of offside tactics, and they are also the first team to use this tactics in the Champions League. Therefore, Anderlecht has always attached great importance to the research of tactics in this area and the training of players. Xiang Tao came out of this, so he naturally had a lot of experience in offside.

Xiang Tao yelled at Kyle, then waved forward, signaling him to follow up in time next time and stop being stunned.

After yelling at Kyle, Xiang Tao spat on the ground and cursed to himself: "Ge, what's wrong today? Everything is not going well..."

As a result, both sides were in a deadlock, with Fiorentina unable to break Bayern Munich's goal, and Bayern's offense frequently fell into offside traps. The first half of both sides ended in such a deadlock, with Bayern Munich still leading Fiorentina 1:0.

Just after the first half, Sophie's phone rang again, and it was still called by her mother.

"Hey, Feifei, you are a sports reporter. Tell me what happened? Why did Zhang Jun and his team perform so poorly? They shot so many times, but they didn't make a single shot." As soon as the phone was called, my mother kept talking.

"Uh... I think maybe it's because they are too stressed away. In addition, they lost the ball from the beginning, which also brought some bad effects to the players' mentality." Sophie looked at the TV and said. She said this to her mother according to the ESPN commentator. Anyway, China's ESPN and Italy's ESPN are not commenting alone, and they are not afraid of being misleading.

She was actually not very clear, so she directly borrowed the analysis of the TV commentator. She thought Fiorentina was a little strange. Is it really the impact of conceding the goal too early?

Finally satisfying her mother's curiosity, Sophie put down the phone and sighed at the TV screen where the advertisement was played.

"Hey, Zhang Jun, did we see things like crows or black cats on the way when we came today?" Xiang Tao grabbed Zhang Jun in the locker room and asked in Chinese.

Zhang Jun looked at Xiang Tao strangely, then shook his head: "What did you ask this all of a sudden?"

"I think it's strange that the first half is not going well, but because I conceded the goal too early, it turned out like this." Xiang Tao spread his hands.

"Don't think about those that are not there. Isn't this the case for football games? If you have everything done, what's the point? In the second half, we have 45 minutes left." Zhang Jun patted Xiang Tao on the shoulder, then walked back to his seat and sat down waiting for Sabato to speak.

Sabato looked at the players in the locker room. Although they were behind in the first half, their mood was not very low. But there was one exception.

"You will go to Dainelli in the second half and replace Kyle." Sabato's simple words did not expect many people. Including Dainelli himself, he looked up at the head coach in surprise.

Kyle seemed very calm and had a very clear understanding of his own performance in the first half. He also knew that if he would not be substituted in this situation, there would be problems.

Zhang Jun was also surprised by Sabato's decision. In his impression, Sabato is not the kind of coach who makes a player and rushes to replace him when he makes a mistake. Even if the player is really not good, he will wait until the second half starts to find a chance to replace him. He will substitution during the half-time break. If the player is not injured, it is really rare.

Seeing that everyone was silent but their expressions were unnatural, Sabato asked, "What, do you have any objections?"

Zhang Jun found that Sabato was looking at him. He thought he was the captain. The captain not only communicated with the players, but also negotiated with the coach on behalf of the players. At this time, he had to stand up.

"Boss, I don't think this is good, right?"

"Oh?" Sabato raised his eyebrows, "You said."

"Although Sebastian did not perform well in the first half, overall, I think it was still very good. The goal conceding at the opening was just a mistake and had nothing to do with the defense. Didn't we not let the opponent score again in the first half? This shows that the defenders are working very hard. What's more, in this case, what would outsiders think if you let Sebastian off the field? This is Germany, his hometown. I don't think Sebastian can be replaced in his own country in advance no matter what."

"Hey, even at the cost of losing the game?" Sabato asked staring at Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun replied firmly: "We can't lose."

"Are you so sure?"

“No doubt.”

The two looked at each other for a while, but Sabato changed his eyes first.

"Well, Kyle continues to play in the second half, Dainelli, you guys should go on. Even if you fall asleep on the bench, I won't wake you up."

Everyone burst into laughter, and Dainelli was embarrassed to laugh with everyone.

Kyle pulled Zhang Jun's jersey and whispered to him: "Thank you."

"Why thank me?" Zhang Jun smiled at Kyle, "You should thank the boss. He definitely didn't really want to replace you, otherwise even if I swear we can win the game, he would replace you. Your performance in the first half was indeed a bit strange. Is there anything wrong?"

Kyle hesitated for a moment, then whispered to Zhang Jun: "Anna is going to give birth..." Anna is Kyle's wife, and she always lives in both Germany and Italy. However, she has not seen Kyle and his wife recently. It turns out that she is back to Germany to prepare for giving birth.

"Ah!" Zhang Jun screamed suddenly, attracting everyone's attention. "It's okay, it's okay, go whatever you should do!" Zhang Jun waved to his teammates, then grabbed Kyle and came to the corner of the locker room.

"Why don't you tell us something important? I don't think anyone knows it?"

"No, Philip knows." Kyle refers to Ram, both Germans, and I believe they communicate more often. "But I don't let him tell you. The team has played frequently recently and the opponents are very good. I'm afraid that it will distinguish everyone's hearts when they say it. You know, everyone is very enthusiastic..."

Zhang Jun smiled: "Haha, don't be afraid or not! Anyway, there is nothing good recently. The birth of your child is a happy event. We Chinese people pay attention to joy, which is a great joy! This is a good omen." He thought to himself, Xiang Tao was asking what crows or black cats just now, but he didn't expect it to be a good luck.
