Chapter 38: A faint fish-belly white appears in the night of "Dawn"

The two sides completed the interview in a friendly atmosphere, and Zhang Cheng did not deliberately ask some sensitive topics.I just asked Li Zihan when he started playing football, why and how he was selected by Juventus, and then asked about Li Zihan's life in Italy and his previous stories.

In the last afternoon, Zhang Cheng took a few photos of Li Zihan in confrontation training and passing and catching training. Of course, these were all arranged by Conte for a show for Zhang Cheng. Not open to the media.Many of the training scenes that fans saw from the photos and camera lenses were negotiated between reporters and the club, allowing the players to show off for them under the camera.

He left a business card for Li Zihan saying that he can call him whether it is business or private matters, which made Li Zihan feel some warmth in this foreign country again.

Zhang Cheng left contentedly. This interview was undoubtedly a relatively successful one, and it was very popular.To use a more popular saying on the Internet now is "Diaosi's Counterattack March".

An orphan liked to play football since he was a child, and with the help of the orphanage, he successfully entered university, and was selected as an exchange student to study in Turin, Italy.In the end, the climax came because he was valued by Juventus coach Conte because of his body and talent, and then seized the opportunity to emerge suddenly when he was playing, and repaid the coach's trust in him with his outstanding performance.
This is such an inspirational, touching and story-telling history of the growth of a small person. It will depend on his future efforts.

On October [-]rd, they ushered in the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in Li Zihan's fulfilling life. Juventus played at home against the Ukrainian Super League powerhouse Shakhtar Donetsk who came from afar.

In the last round of the group match, they beat North Sealand in the Danish Super League [-]-[-]. Now they are ranked first in the group. Juventus and Chelsea are tied with the same points and goal difference. They are ranked second and third respectively, because Juventus's away goals are ranked ahead of Chelsea, and North Sealand, the weakest team in Denmark, is at the bottom with zero points-in fact, no one is optimistic about their ability to qualify.

Tonight's Juventus Arena was full of seats. This time, there were nearly [-] miners who came with the team. Amidst the enthusiastic shouts of fans from both sides, the game began.

As the host, Juventus greeted the miners as soon as they came up. Vidal received a pass from Pirlo and suddenly stopped the ball when the central midfielder Srna came up, and then leaned against the opponent to step on the left foot of the ball. Turning left quickly for the center axis and then hooking his left foot, he even dribbled the ball past Srna.

Then when the opponent's defender Hubushman came forward to press, he kicked decisively outside the penalty area and hit the goal. The ball was lifted out of the crossbar by goalkeeper Pyatov with one hand.

This high-quality long shot frightened the Shakhtar players into a cold sweat, and Pyatov immediately directed his teammates to stand to defend the corner kick.

Pirlo's corner kick went straight to the small penalty area, but Pyatov, who was paying attention, picked it off with both hands.

The miners began to organize an attack. As the leader of the Ukrainian Super League, their attack power is not bad at all, and the sharpest is the two wings.

Brazilian black boy Douglas Costa did not choose to cut inside after receiving the pass from the defense, but quickly pulled to the side.The Brazilian's delicate foot skills are not boasting. Just when Giacherini came forward, he stopped the ball decisively and was about to cross.

Giacherini was really fooled. He immediately stepped down, trying to steal the ball before the opponent passed the ball, or to harass Douglas Costa's pass so that the opponent's teammates could not easily get it.

Douglas Costa saw the timing, instead of passing the ball, he suddenly passed the ball and accelerated the breakthrough, directly passing the unprepared Giacherini.

Costa, who quickly pulled to the side, went straight to the bottom, and then made a high pass before Barzagli stepped forward.

The ball jumped into an arc and went straight to the penalty area. Adriano in the penalty area chose the ball's landing point, but Bonucci kept watching him closely.

Just before the jump, Bonucci jumped first, and finally it became Bonucci pressing Adriano and taking off together.As a central defender, Bonucci's jumping and header are actually quite average, and he cannot be compared with many excellent central defenders.

But Bonucci is physically strong and full of vitality, which is what an aging player like Adriano lacks.And Bonucci has an excellent view of the overall situation. He can organize and command while defending. Even the experienced defensive Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich has been leaning towards him for a long time.

In the end, both of them failed to grab the ball, and Buffon got the ball directly. In fact, Bonucci is self-aware. He knows that his header is not very good, but it is also very simple. Conte found him and asked him to do it. I said a word to him when he was the main central defender.

"I know that your header is not as good as Andre (Barzagli), but I didn't expect you to be able to develop a good header technique. Your task is very simple, as long as you don't be the most threatening opponent's header. As long as the centre-forward or centre-back can get the header."

Yes, it's very simple, since it's not easy for me to get the header, then I just let the opponent not get the header.

Bonucci has been doing this for a long time. Although he has also practiced a lot of headers in training and private training, but his talent is limited. Although he has made some progress, it is still too much.

"The two sides fought fiercely from the beginning. Serie A, which is the best defensive counterattack, has become more and more inclined to attack in recent years. Shakhtar Donetsk, as the only Ukrainian team with the most threat in the Champions League, has always Since then, they have insisted on attacking to defend the honor of Uzbekistan in the European arena. From their two wings, two compatriots Douglas Costa and Willian from Brazil, as well as the attacking midfielder Mkhitaryan and the former Inter Milan prince world-class striker A Delia can see it."

Sina Sports continued to broadcast the UEFA Champions League broadcast, and as the best and most famous Sina football player, Uncle Zhan Jun did his part to explain the game.

"For Adriano and Juventus, both sides are very familiar. The former Inter Milan prince was in the Nerazzurri dynasty and the current Juventus midfielder Pirlo, who used to be AC ​​Milan's midfielder. Rivalry in the same city, and Juventus led by Buffon is the Italian national derby."

The Juventus players who had been fruitless for a long time saw Conte's hands pressed down on the sidelines, and then his right hand turned into a circle gesture.

They immediately slowed down the pace, played a defensive counterattack and then increased the pressing and possession of the midfield. Seeing that time was running out, they planned to end the first half with a score of zero to zero.

The midfield has always been Juventus's huge advantage. Juventus has absolute confidence in the midfield and backcourt. As for the striker, this has always been Juventus' injury.

When Willian cut in from the sideline and was directly intercepted by Vidal, the referee ruthlessly blew the first half.

This caused dissatisfaction among Juventus fans at home: the referee only had 1 minute of stoppage time in the first half, let alone, watching our lovely Arturo Vidal just steal the ball when he was about to counterattack, you blew it whistle.Although the time is now ten, six minutes and five seconds, it is not that the referee can delay the stoppage time "according to the situation" and "as appropriate"...

Juventus supporters booed this impersonal referee one after another.

It's unknown, so the Juventus players who walked into the player tunnel thought the fans were dissatisfied with their performance in the first half.

"The two sides finally ended the first half with a score of zero to zero. The whole first half was divided between offense and defense, but Juventus's offensive threat was not very great. Most of the time, they were either caught by the goalkeeper or directly cleared in the penalty area. ...and Shakhtar Donetsk's offense is much more resolute. In front of Juventus' powerful midfielder, they continue to use the advantages of the two wings to find opportunities. I don't know what changes the coaches of the two sides will make in the second half, but Seeing the relatively stalemate situation, Conte should let Li Zihan play."

"After all, his speed advantage can just make up for the entire "classic car" Juventus, and can also disrupt the opponent's defense by surprise. The most important thing is that this Chinese version of Serie A Solskjaer is the current progress of the entire Juventus. One of the most goals and the only player who scored goals in every game. Of course, the away game against Fiorentina was not counted, because he was not in the 23-man list of the game, and he was still recovering from his injuries at that time. But from the next game Judging from the home game against Rome, Li Zihan was not affected by the injury at all, his condition is still there, and he can still score goals."

"Okay, audience friends, thank you for watching the game late at night. We will come back after a short commercial to continue the wonderful game in the second half."

The Chinese fans in front of the computer and the TV series gasped in unison, cursing the bad jet lag.Then get up and let the water go, and the drinker drink the water.

Although the game in the first half was quite exciting, there were no goals. What the fans like most is scoring goals. Of course, the most important thing is the goal scored by the team you support, if it is the opponent's goal.
For most Chinese fans, watching the current Juventus game, whether it is the Champions League or Serie A, is just to watch Li Zihan. Most of the fans in China’s Serie A are from the Milan duo. In fact, there are not many Juventus fans. , Even the fans of Fiorentina and Roma are not much less than Juventus.

And in today's Chinese football environment, a Chinese player who has performed well in the top European league clubs is the easiest to provoke the nerves of the fans.

They hope that when chatting with the fans in the future, whenever the fans of Little Japan and baseball fans say that we have Kagawa Shinji, Park Ji-sung, Sun Xingmin and others, they don't have to bow their heads and say nothing.

They hope that one day when they propose the name of a Chinese player, these bastards and little Japanese will also bow their heads and are too embarrassed to mention the name of a player from their country.

Today's Li Zihan has made many Chinese fans see hope.
