Chapter 694 The Collapse of Pescara

Pogba and Zhang Yuan lived in the same area, but he rented a house, while Zhang Yuan bought a villa by himself. When this season just started, Pogba drove to the training ground by himself, and Zhang Yuan often drove to the training ground. Go to the training ground with Matri.

During the training the day before heading to Pescara, Pogba was late. This is the second time he has been late since he joined. Tee couldn't help but physically punished him and publicly announced that he would not appear in the squad against Pescara.

Pogba was very depressed, and Zhang Yuan asked Pogba why he was late. The last time Zhang Yuan asked him why he was late, Pogba said that he overslept!

Nima's reason was a bit lame, she was half an hour late and overslept for half an hour, Zhang Yuan didn't believe it.

This time Zhang Yuan asked him again, why are you late, Paul!

"Overslept!" Pogba said shyly.

"Come on, overslept?! I don't believe it! Brother, you are still young, take good care of your body!" Zhang Yuan secretly teased Pogba.

"Really, I really overslept!" Pogba said confidently.

Zhang Yuan felt that he had overslept, maybe he had too much fun last night, after all, he lived here alone and no one cared.

Zhang Yuan feels that he is not a post-90s person. Compared with Pogba or many players in the team, Zhang Yuan is not a very playful person. Perhaps this has a lot to do with his birth environment.

"To be honest, you can't be late anymore! During this period, your playing time has begun to increase, and you can't let this great opportunity slip away! If you make Conte hate you, then you're done here! "Zhang Yuanyan persuaded to get back to business.

"I got it, I got it! There won't be a next time!" Most of what Pogba told Zhang Yuan still wanted to listen. Since everyone is young, Zhang Yuan won't play anymore, and he still has a lot to do with Pogba. What they have in common, such as playing games, Zhang Yuan often listens to Pogba’s opinions on dressing, and Pogba is very clear that although Zhang Yuan only stayed in Juventus for one season, his status in the team But it is relatively high, there is no way to spell it out with results, there is no need to talk back to the leading brother, three Zhang Yuan was entrusted by Raiola, let Zhang Yuan take care of Pogba more in the team.

How can Zhang Yuan think as much as Pogba, he is just persuading, Pogba likes to listen or not, even if he has been in Europe for many years, he still cannot understand the values ​​​​of these European teenagers, everyone has their own ideas, right? He doesn't force it.

Pescara is a young team in Serie A. Founded in 1936, this team has been playing in low-level leagues all year round. In the 90s, it was an elevator in Serie A. The most recent experience in Serie A is still It goes back to the early 90s.

They won the Serie B championship last season and finally returned to the embrace of Serie A again.

The coach who led Pescara to the first season last season was the famous anti-Juve fighter Zeman. Under his coaching, Pescara's offensive power was the best in Serie B. Unfortunately, this season he found another job and moved to the Roma team.

Pescara then invited the former AC Milan youth team coach Stropa. According to the director of Pescara, he wanted to continue Zeman's football philosophy. As a result, Stropa arrived. The current schedule is one third of the way. Pescara Only scored 8 goals, conceded as many as 17 goals, and only 11 points. The task of relegation is a long way to go.

But the responsibility cannot be entirely pushed to Stroppa. In the Serie B last season, there were "three heroes" in Pescara. Which three heroes?
One is Marco Verratti. Before last season, he was almost unknown, but under Zeman's training, he was called Pirlo's successor. In Italian, he was called Pirlo's successor. There are a lot of talented players, and the media's boasting is not enough to believe it, but at the same time, these players who are called Pirlo's successors are undeniably possessing quite good strength.

Juventus is very interested in Verratti and has long wanted to poach Verratti. For a while, even Pescara himself said that Verratti had decided to go to Juventus, but it turned out that in the summer, It was cut off.

He was cut off by the rich and powerful Paris Saint-Germain. Paris Saint-Germain offered Verratti a price of 1200 million euros. Pescara couldn't refuse it at all. How old is Verratti? A sky-high price.

Juventus also offered a sky-high price when bidding for Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Yuan has proved himself in the Bundesliga and La Liga, and Verratti is only in Serie B. Of course, Juventus cannot pay such a high price. So this deal naturally fell through, and Paris Saint-Germain successfully got this Pirlo's successor.

The second player is Insigne. Insigne is not a player from Pescara, but a player from Pescara on loan from Naples. Last season, he played 37 times in Serie B and scored 18 goals. The performance was naturally taken back by Naples this season.

The third player is a Juventus native, Ciro Immobile. He is a young player suggested by the Juventus club when Ferrara was in power. He made his debut very early in Juventus, but Ferrara After La left, he has been unable to gain the trust of the team. He has been displaced and often loaned out. He performed very well in Pescara in the first half of last season, but Juventus still refused to look back during the winter break. They sold half of his ownership to Genoa. Obviously, they were not optimistic about this local striker from the beginning to the end. At the end of last season, Immobile went to Genoa.

The Pescara trio under Zeman fell apart, and Pescara made a lot of money in the summer transfer market but did not invest much. It was the least of the three teams that were promoted, and their strength declined sharply. They want to continue Zeman Mann's football philosophy, but not giving Stroppa enough good players is easier said than done.

In the game on the night of the 10th, Juventus let Pescara see that Serie A is not played like this.

Pescara, who sits at home, is really courageous enough. The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he decisively fights against Juventus. This kind of attitude is what Juventus can't wait for. Juventus is most afraid of opponents playing hide-and-seek with them. What a waste of energy.

But Pescara, who has continued Zeman's offensive philosophy, obviously will not do this. They are very active, and it is very easy for teammate Juventus. In the 8th minute, Giovinco passed the ball diagonally near the arc of the penalty area to Vidal on the right side of the penalty area. , the latter hit the ball with his right foot into the lower left corner of the goal when no one was watching, 0-1!

Today is Pescara goalkeeper Palin's 20th birthday, but this birthday gift can make people angry.

After scoring a goal, Juventus slowed down the pace, and Pescara continued to rush. Maybe Stropa wanted to use his physical advantage to attack Juventus, but he was disappointed soon. In the 16th minute, Juventus The midfielder intercepted the ball, counterattacked on the spot, Marchisio made a direct pass, Zhang Yuan succeeded in turning offside, single-handedly, and easily scored the second goal.

In the 27th minute, it was another counterattack, and it was Zhang Yuan who received a pass from Giovinco at the back point and easily volleyed to score.

Every time such a counterattack, Pescara always makes fatal mistakes. Vidal is unguarded, and his successor Zhang Yuan is also unmarked. Fans watching the game in front of the TV may be surprised. Anyway, you have a defender. But you are really too bad with people and positions.

Juventus finished the game in half an hour. In order to save energy for the national team, Zhang Yuan began to work on the court. He didn't want to do this either, but he cared about the game against Jordan. He will do it without hesitation, and his game state, which has always been serious and active, is really surprising.

After halftime, Alessio replaced Zhang Yuan and replaced him with Quagliarella. The victory was sealed, and he could tell that Zhang Yuan had lost motivation, so he could just get him off the field.

In the second half, Pescara still didn't make any changes, and he still went forward blindly. Quagliarella, who came off the bench, scored a hat-trick with a head kick, and Pescara's blind attack was only affected by the decline in Juventus' physical fitness in the final stage. Shone scored an inconsequential goal for Pescara.

Juventus beat Pescara in the away game. Stropa's heart was pierced cold. If he had the initiative, he would not choose this way, but he is a rookie who is very popular with Pescara in terms of football philosophy. High-level interference, it is not surprising to get such a score. Before that, they conceded more than 3 goals in 3 games.
