Chapter 61 【】 Pre-season friendly match

I have been training with the team for some time, and the league will start soon.However, Vicenza, which has been paid attention to by the media before, did not participate in a warm-up match, which made the Italian media and fans feel strange.Moreover, even the fans of Vicenza were surprised. Isn't the period when the new season is about to start all teams participating in the warm-up match?Why doesn't your own team participate in the warm-up match?
After all, it is only this warm-up match that can make players familiar with new tactics and allow players to get back to their form before the start of the league.What is Vicenza thinking?This question is what everyone is paying attention to now.

And at this time, the Vicenza club finally stood up. The chairman of Vicenza claimed that they would hold a warm-up match with Feyenoord in the Eredivisie at the Romeo Monti Stadium. This is also the only warm-up match for Vicenza this season.

Now the Italian media is on fire again. They really don't know why Vicenza chose such an opponent. Such an opponent should not be of any help to the team.And a warm-up match can't make the Vicenza team discover the problem and solve it!The Italian media and fans were confused by Vicenza's move.Now, more and more people are not optimistic about Vicenza.

However, the Vicenza team in the center of the storm is very calm, and the entire team is in a relatively stable state.Training is also going on in an orderly manner, and the atmosphere within the team is also very good.Since the joining of Recoba and others, the team's strength has risen by more than one level, which makes the players full of expectations and confidence for the new season.

Soon it was time for Vicenza to participate in the warm-up match. Originally, this was just a very ordinary warm-up match, and there were no giants in charge.However, it attracted a lot of media and fans, and the attention of this game was much higher than that of ordinary warm-up matches!

On the day of the game, although it was not crowded, the Romeo Monti Stadium, which can accommodate more than 1 people, had more than [-] people sitting on it, and there were also a lot of media people who came to watch the game! !

Xiao Mian didn't know much about the Feyenoord team, but only knew that there was a talented boy in the team who was given up by the Vicenza team.Therefore, Xiao Mian is not very clear about the opponent's tactics and habits, and this match should be difficult.However, before the game, the head coach Rolando Malan issued a death order, that is, to win.

Feyenoord, together with Ajax and Eindhoven, is known as the Big Three of Dutch football, although since the 80s and 90s, Feyenoord has won more league titles than the latter two. Less, but it is undeniable that Feyenoord is the only one who can compete with Ajax and PSV in the Eredivisie.Since the club was founded in 1908, they have won 14 Eredivisie league titles, 10 Dutch Cup titles and 2 UEFA Cups, and became the first Dutch team to win the European Champions Cup in 1970.

Such a team is definitely not weak, so it should not be easy for the Vicenza team to win this game.

Rolando Malan's formation today is [-]-[-]-[-], and the goalkeeper is still Marco Fordin. The main goalkeeper of the team last season still occupies the main position of the team.The four backs are the newly transferred Italian left-back Grosso, Stam and Ronald Huth, who was promoted from the youth team. Huth is the backbone of the team in the future, and now the team focuses on training Object, so let him partner with Stam, learn from Stam's experience and so on.The right back is Daniele Martinelli, who was also the team's main full back last season.

The midfield adopts a diamond-shaped position, with Francesco Signorini in the defensive midfielder, the newly introduced Recoba in the front midfielder, and the French rising star John Gour from the AC Milan concession as the left midfielder Cuff, the right midfielder is Nicola Rigney, who was promoted from the youth team in the second half of last season.This kid won the main position of this season by virtue of his excellent performance in the final period of last season. At the same time, he also put on the No. [-] jersey that symbolizes the main force. It seems that this kid has a bright future.

The two strikers are Xiao Mian and the newly introduced Italian striker Diego Milito.Judging from the lineup that Vicenza sent today, they really won this warm-up match very much, because this is definitely Vicenza's main lineup for the new season of the Italian Football League.The fans and reporters who came to the stadium were secretly happy, it was worth it today!

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially started.The first kick-off was the visiting Feyenoord team. The striker threw the ball back to the midfield, and the Turkish genius Shaheen, who was the genius boy that Vicenza gave up, caught the ball.As soon as Shaheen received the ball, Xiao Mian rushed over like a rocket in the air.

The sudden appearance of the opponent's striker stunned Shaheen, who just got the ball, and the ball was dropped by the Vicenza No. [-] who rushed over.Shaheen was startled again, "This striker's robbery ability is too strong, isn't he? And he's an Asian player!" Shaheen only felt a gust of wind pass by, and Vicenza's No. [-] broke through from his side, Go after the ball!

"Xiao...Xiao..." Seeing that Xiao Mian successfully intercepted the ball at the beginning of the game, the Vicenza fans at the scene were hooked and applauded for Xiao Mian.

Seeing that Xiao Mian broke the ball so quickly, the Feyenoord players were startled.However, the experience accumulated in their playing career for many years allowed them to quickly come out of the shock, and they quickly put down the defensive lineup.The opponent's lower back quickly pressed towards Xiao Mian, Xiao Mian lightly buckled his foot, shook the opponent away, and then continued to move forward with the ball.

Shaheen rushed to catch up. Xiao Mian didn't bother too much. He passed the ball in a straight line, and the ball quickly rolled between Feyenoord's center back and full back, and flew to the side.Feyenoord's full-back turned quickly to look, startled when a Vicenza player in the No. [-] jersey sprinted backwards and caught up with the ball.

John Gourcuff! !
Cut inside! ! !

Without any hesitation, Gurku cut inside directly after receiving the ball.Feyenoord's full-back frenziedly chased back, and the central defender on the right quickly blocked the way.Seeing that his way was blocked, Gourcuff, who was advancing at a high speed, paused and slowed down.Feyenoord's right-back was secretly delighted, he rushed up from behind and stretched his foot to intercept the ball.However, Gourcuff seemed to have expected it a long time ago. The moment the opponent just stretched out his foot, he crossed the left hand and smashed the ball slightly, and the ball quickly passed Feyenoord's right back.At the same time, Feyenoord's right-back blocked the line of sight of the centre-back.

Vicenza has a chance! ! !
Gourcuff pushed the ball across the middle, and the ball quickly rolled past the Fereno Nord central defender whose line of sight was blocked, and rolled towards the middle.

The Feyenoord players were shocked, especially the Feyenoord goalkeeper.His eyes widened and his hands stretched out, because he saw a player in a red and white striped shirt rushing towards him at high speed.

Diego Milito!
Diego Milito came in quickly and just at that moment Gourcuff passed the ball.He easily gets the ball one step inside the box without any defenders around him.

He kicked up straight, swung his rounded right leg, and hit the ball hard! !

The ball flew to the goal like lightning...
