Chapter 007 Champions League debut 2(1/2)

When the Marseille players came out to warm up, they were "warmly welcomed" by AC Milan fans. Zhang Yang was naturally the one who was most cared for.

"What a big scene." Zhang Yang looked at the flags fluttering in the stands and the crazy fans trying to climb over the wire and shouting there, which overlapped with the impression he saw from the San Siro Stadium on TV and from the documentary. He felt a burst of passion. This was the big scene.

As for the booing from AC Milan fans to him, he ignored it. My buddy didn't go through the situation. When he was visiting the Gerland Stadium of Lyon, the whole audience booed him.

Moreover, with his arrogant personality and the importance his opponent fans attach to him, such things will definitely happen in the future.

Looking at the crowds of people in the stands, Zhang Yang was not nervous at all.

※※※※※※※※※※

Fernandez was a little worried when he heard the booing in the stands. This was the first Champions League journey for Marseille in recent seasons. Many of the teams were rookies and had never played in the Champions League. He was worried that some players would be scared by this scene.

After looking at it, it was true that young young people such as Nasri, Taivo, Yashioi were a little distracted. They seemed to be frightened by the strong momentum of the San Siro Stadium.

Look again. On the contrary, Zhang Yang, who was booed by the fans, was calm on his face. Fernandez was surprised and happy. He didn't know why this kid could be so calm, why he could smile and calm on his face when facing such an important game in life, and even talked with Morientes happily.

This kid was born for such a big scene. Fernandez could only draw a conclusion like this.

※※※※※※※※※※

"Are you not afraid at all?" Morientes asked Zhang Yang. The starting list has been confirmed. He and Zhang Yang formed a starting partner, which made Morientes very happy. He was very grateful for his decision to come to Malaysia. Here, the head coach seems to really attach great importance to himself and gave himself a starting opportunity in the first game of the Champions League. Of course, Morientes also knew that he must use good performance to prove that he deserved this starting opportunity.

"It's a bit." Zhang Yang smiled, "But it's more exciting." He likes to be paid attention to and likes to be the focus. Even if he is booed by the whole audience, it means that he is paid attention to. Being hated by so many people is also a kind of capital to be proud of.

To put it bluntly, he just came crazy alone. The bigger the scene, the more he was happy. If no one even cheered for him, he would be happy on his own. Then, he was very satisfied.

This child is very strong inside.

Morientes looked at his partner in surprise and then smiled. He had partnered with many super shooters, including the humble and chic Raul, the alien Ronaldo, and the English Golden Boy Irving, but none of them had the same personality as the young partner in front of him.

※※※※※※※※※※

At this time, Zhang Yang felt something hit on his butt. He turned around and saw Ribery laughing at him, and he kicked it with a ball.

Zhang Yang pointed to the stands of San Siro and shouted loudly: "Look at there."

"What?" Ribery responded.

"This is a big scene, let's do it together!" Zhang Yang shouted loudly with a high spirit.

"I've seen all the bigger scenes than this," Riberyder said, "But, no problem, haha."

Zhang Yang knew that Ribery was referring to a real big scene like the World Cup final, "That's your big scene." Zhang Yang didn't say anything, he said in his heart, "This is my big scene! My Champions League!"

※※※※※※※※※※

After the warm-up, return to the visiting team locker room at San Siro Stadium.

Fernandez closed the door to the locker room, and the sound from outside could still be heard, making people unable to calm down. Although San Siro Stadium has been around for many years, it has done a good job of maintenance and sound insulation. This can only be said that AC Milan fans are so crazy and too "enthusiastic".

"When you return to the Villodem Stadium, let them taste our awesomeness." Ribery said angrily. AC Milan fans are crazy, and our Marseille fans are not bad either. The Marseille fans are the craziest fans in the entire Ligue 1, no doubt. When it comes to which team fans are the craziest and favorite football, Villodem deserves it! This is the sexiest and hottest football holy place in the entire Ligue 1!

Zhang Yang didn't say anything. He sat there, he listened. After the booing, he heard the song of Milan that he was very familiar with. His father was a Milan fan. When his father watched the football, he would hum this song. Zhang Yang still remembered that when Van Basten retired, his father hummed this team song in tears to say goodbye to the superstar. The old man was just an ordinary fan, but his love for football was impeccable.

The stadium was slight vibrations with singing, booing, applause, and even when it was excited, the sound of crazy stomping feet.

At this moment, this night, this city, this stadium, everyone's hearts are just beating for the football.

※※※※※※※※※※

The visiting team locker room at San Siro Stadium.

Fernandez was not in a hurry to give a speech. He waited for everyone to take a shower, changed into his jerseys, some started listening to music, and some were fiddling with the hairstyle in the middle. After about ten minutes, everyone finished everything at hand. When everyone looked up at him, hoping that he would say something, he stood up and cleared his throat.

He had to have his disciples a little nervous, but he did not deliberately mention this. The nervousness in his heart was incurable and he needed them to face it with heart, and they gradually became stronger and fought. Once the blood of the battle became burning, fear, timidity, hesitation, and other negative emotions would be burned to the point of being left with only the scum!

"I'll say a few more points again." Fernandez raised his right index finger and said, "One, AC Milan cannot play at the rhythm they are used to. Their strength is stronger than us. Once they are led by their rhythm, the game will be dangerous. This Milan is very particular about ball control, so I ask that in the midfield, we must press closely and not give them too easy space to get the ball."

Everyone nodded. Some people nervously wiped the sweat from their foreheads. The Champions League game is unfamiliar and mysterious for most of the players in this team!

"Second, Milan's attack, the real core of their attack is Pirlo. You should be careful not to get the ball easily for Pirlo, be fierce, and don't let him in a comfortable instigation of the attack."

This second point is actually a continuation of the first point, but Fernandez made it particularly prominent, which further highlighted his concerns and attention to Pirlo.

"Three, be careful of AC Milan's set pieces. Try not to give them free kicks near our penalty area line." Fernandez said, "They have a lot of set pieces experts."

Everyone nodded. Of course they knew that all the players in AC Milan knew that these players were all big-name stars, including Seedorf and Pirlo, all had a good free kick, and Kaka also had a free kick.

"Fourth, pay attention to Kaka. He likes to sprint the ball and don't give him space. You can foul it when necessary." Fernandez said. This is what he is most worried about. The Brazilian is in good shape now, and dribbling through and shooting is his specialty. Apart from necessary fouls, he really can't think of a good way.

"Five. Remember, in today's game, you are not allowed to make offside. The defense line shrinks its defense, pay attention to Inzaghi's position." Fernandez said his second concern. The game against AC Milan is purely seeking death. Philippe Inzaghi, the most powerful "opportunistic shooter" in football history, is just walking a tightrope. If you accidentally fall off the cliff and fall to pieces. Moreover, this possibility is extremely high.

※※※※※※※※※※

"Sixth, we may concede the goal first in this game." Fernandez said while observing the players' reactions. Sure enough, the faces of several players changed, because the team's tactics are defensive counterattacks, and they are facing giants like AC Milan. If they concede the goal first, everyone knows how passive this will be.

Fernandez wants to give the team a vaccination first to make everyone mentally prepared. Otherwise, once the game starts, the team will be more passive.

"Ac Milan is not our goal. In this game, you don't have any burden, just play well." Some players were relieved when they heard Fernandez say this. Yes, AC Milan is the strongest in the group. If you want to qualify in the group, you don't need to fight against AC Milan. The real opponents are Athens Aek and Anderlecht. Thinking like this makes people feel much more relaxed.

Fernandez sighed in his heart. He really didn't want to say this, because if a team does not have the belief of winning, it would be difficult and almost impossible to win. However, facing the behemoth of AC Milan, he must relieve the pressure on the players.

In the final analysis, the Marseille team has been in decline for too long in recent years. It has been several years since it left the Champions League, and the team has no longer the domineering spirit of being able to compete in the Champions League.

This kind of domineeringness and confidence requires time to accumulate, or to be precise, it requires competition and victory.

Fernandez looked at Zhang Yang, Ribery, Morientes and Thorin's faces were unhappy expressions. Among these four, the first two young men were fearless and naturally would not be stage frightened. The latter two were tested by the competition. In their eyes, AC Milan is powerful, but they are not afraid.

Fernandez felt a little relieved and didn't care about the unhappiness of these four people, because these four people might be the hope of Marseille's game today.

To slay a dragon, you must first have a strong heart, fearless, and stronger than a rock!

If you have a cowardly heart, then everything will be over.

AC Milan is stronger than the Marseille team, which is a fact, but the Marseille team is not without the power to fight! The reason why some of the Marseille players are timid is that they have not experienced such big scenes. They have left the Champions League for several seasons and have not played against such top teams. It is inevitable that they are born to be afraid.

Once they can feel that such a wealthy family is nothing great, and we may have a chance to draw or even win, then it will be natural. Even if we don’t win in the end, the training the team will be of great benefit.

※※※※※※※※※※

Zhang Guodong and his son Zhang Dahai stood in the stands of the San Siro Stadium. Zhang Dahai smiled bitterly. His father actually chose to watch the game in the stands of the home team AC Milan fans, and he was wearing AC Milan jersey. Zhang Dahai originally wanted to take out the Marseille jersey he brought with him, but after looking at the situation around him, he still didn't dare to take it out.

Zhang Dahai understands his father.

Zhang Guodong was looking down at the green grassy stadium. The players in Marseille had just finished warming up. He saw his son and a teammate walking towards the players' corridor with their arms around.

Since he arrived at the stadium, he hasn't spoken for a long time. He just looked around and looked around. He looked here and where he looked. His face was filled with excitement and a pious figure, as if he was a pilgrimage.

※※※※※※※※※※

He suddenly decided to come to the stadium to watch the football. Lao Zhang's greatest hope in his life was to come to the San Siro Stadium to watch the football. As an old fan for more than 20 years, he used to have no money and dared not think about it. Now, he has money and Lao Zhang's mind is active.

The old man has the kind of personality of doing what he said. Since he had this idea and his thoughts became stronger and stronger, he immediately took action. His son Zhang Dahai was worried and followed him.

Because of this game, Zhang Guodong came to the scene as an AC Milan fan, and his son was a Marseille player. Therefore, Zhang Guodong did not notify his son in advance. On the one hand, he did not want his son to have any burden, and on the other hand, he did not want others to pay attention, especially the media. If the media knew about this, it would be troublesome to compare prices.

So, no one knows now, even the AC Milan fans around them do not know that these two Asian faces are the father and brother of the young Marseille shooter who made a huge boo.

Zhang Dahai understood his father's feelings for the AC Milan he loved, but he couldn't figure out why he had to come to San Siro Stadium to watch the game and support Milan.

"If Milan wins, I'm happy. I'm a Milan fan." Zhang Guodong said to his son, "If Milan is defeated by your brother's goal, lose or draws, I'm proud, because that's my son and your brother."

Zhang Dahai nodded heavily. He was his brother, the brother of a mother of his compatriots whom he was proud of!

※※※※※※※※※※

The fans kept singing, applauding and shouting various slogans in the stands. The game had not yet begun, and the atmosphere on the scene was almost crazy!

Zhang Guodong took a deep breath, as if he wanted to melt the air here into his lung cavity and into his own blood.

He likes this taste, he likes this feeling, this is the stadium he dreams of countless times, and he is fascinated by it.

This is... a Champions League game!

I really didn't expect that I could come to the San Siro Stadium to watch the football in my lifetime.

He once hesitated that he came to San Siro to watch the football and cheer for Milan. What would his son think? Will he blame himself? Will he be angry?

He shook his head, his son would not!

The son is his own seed, and he knows it himself!

At the same time, he also felt a strange but excited feeling in his heart. There seemed to be a balance between the team he liked and his son. The center of gravity of the balance tilted to this side and then to that side.

At this moment, the balance tilted slightly towards his son.

※※※※※※※※※※

He even had a scene in his mind. After Zhang Yang scored a goal, he would come to him with a smile on his face and say, "Dad, sorry, I scored a goal, hehe~"

This brat!

The eldest son Zhang Dahai is not a fan, so Zhang Guodong was overjoyed since he discovered that his younger son Zhang Yang loved football. At that time, CCTV Sports Channel broadcasted Serie A games, and Zhang Guodong did not miss every game. Every time, there was a kid who was equally focused. When he scored a goal, the two would cheer together, and the loser was the same depressed and frustrated. When his son secretly had a small wine in his glass, he would want to play a few more lightly, which was reluctant to.

The only regret is that my son was not trained to be a Milan fan by himself.

He remembered the phone call he made before his son came to Milan away: "Dad, who do you support this game? Haha, is it your AC Milan or my son?"

"What do you think, stinky brat?"

"Dad, I don't need you to cheer for me in this game, but I will make you proud of me."

Zhang Guodong lowered his head, afraid that his eldest son Zhang Dahai and the others would see the tears in his eyes. He had always been a tough guy in front of both of their brothers, and it was impossible for him to cry in front of them...
