Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 696 Di Matteo's Life-saving Grass
Under the control of such thoughts, and at the same time under the control of Conte's sometimes tactical arrangements, Zhang Yuan has indeed done a lot of work. If you compare carefully, many people will find that Zhang Yuan has actually done a lot of work. , Sometimes there is not much space for activities, but it does not mean that he does not do many things.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan also understood what Matri meant. He obviously wanted to persuade Zhang Yuan to put down the burden and make himself more relaxed.

"Hey, Yali! I didn't expect you to say such a truth like a psychologist!" Zhang Yuan teased Matri with a smile.

"Why can't I say it? Don't you and I understand? Serious and active, I can't wait to fight to the end in every game! I am a different type of striker from you. Let me tell you, I always choose to believe when I am running. Teammates, they will definitely pass the ball in place! No way, if they don’t pass in place, I will have no chance!” It turns out that Matri learned from the game, but enlightenment is one thing, and this guy’s level of strength is still the same. Can't help him score more goals in the team.

"Just because you lighten your load doesn't mean you can't contribute. You're a complete striker, the best striker I've ever seen, and you always shine! You don't need to retreat too often! Run in front, pass the ball more, you can still create a threat, it’s better than you being exhausted by yourself!” Matri then began to give lessons to Zhang Yuan, because he is not the type of forward Zhang Yuan, looking at It is normal for Zhang Yuan to have some different ideas about how to play, because the perspectives are different.

But he gave Zhang Yuan another way of thinking. In the national football team, Zhang Yuan is a panacea. If the defense is better, the national football coach may even use Zhang Yuan as the core of defense.

In Juventus, Zhang Yuan is just like Matri said, there is no need to do this at all. Even if he stays in the frontcourt, there is always a chance to send the ball to Zhang Yuan’s feet. When Zhang Yuan needs to do it, he will handle it reasonably. opportunity.

Zhang Yuan has gained a lot from Matri. Maintaining the state may be a problem for every professional player, but you have to learn to be smart and not let the game become your burden.

In fact, Matri’s statement is not entirely correct. To become the core of the team’s offense, Zhang Yuan must be more energetic than other strikers. Secondly, Zhang Yuan’s tactical role is not arranged by Zhang Yuan himself but by Conte. How? It may be said that when the burden is put down, who will pick it up? !

Therefore, Zhang Yuan did not fully accept what his friend Matri said. He believed that the main reason for him was that he did not do a good job in the distribution of physical fitness. He really couldn't stand the double match in a week. On the court, he thought he had to learn to be smarter, especially to reduce the confrontation with opponent players. In the past, breakthroughs were used to create opportunities, but now he should pass the ball and move.

Gu Lin is currently studying medicine at Heidelberg University in Germany. Before the match between Juventus and Chelsea, Zhang Yuan called him to invite him to watch the match. It was just to relax, because Gu Lin was not in a good mood recently. What he encountered was a language barrier. He is currently studying preparatory studies and has not officially started studying medicine.

In addition, Zhang Yuan also invited Hoffman and his son, who had not met for a long time. Joseph has become a handsome young man in a few years. He is currently in the youth training camp of Schalke 04 and is a member of the Schalke 04 echelon.

Hoffman is proud of his son's achievements. He seems to think that his son is a genius like Zhang Yuan.

But Joseph didn't seem to be so optimistic about himself. He was very happy to see Zhang Yuan again. He told Zhang Yuan the legend about Zhang Yuan in the youth training camp.

"Really, you are so cool! Lightning!" "Lightning" is Zhang Yuan's nickname, and Joseph likes to call Zhang Yuan by this name instead of calling him by his first name.

Although my brother left Schalke 04, my legend still reverberates there, and Zhang Yuan is also secretly proud.

Afterwards, Zhang Yuan asked about Joseph's position in the youth training echelon, his feeling, his performance, etc. Now Joseph was a little embarrassed. He was a substitute, an inconspicuous substitute.

"Oh, I feel like I'm not good enough to play football! But look at my dad, I really can't bear to quit!" Joseph sighed in a low voice.

Soberly realized that he is not that kind of material so early, Zhang Yuan thought he was a football material before, it seems to be an illusion.

But Zhang Yuan’s starting point is different. He feels that Joseph is still young, so there is no need to give up in such a hurry. Moreover, Zhang Yuan feels that this is just a normal reaction caused by Joseph’s current setbacks. , Inter Milan's days were particularly difficult.

"Joseph, do you like football?!" Zhang Yuan asked solemnly.

"Of course, of course I like it! But you see, I am not that material at all, I have always been a substitute!" Joseph replied, and his answer also confirmed Zhang Yuan's guess. Not satisfied.

"It's good if you like it! If you like it, you should pursue it! Why can't you persevere! The most important thing in playing football is not talent, but hard work! You don't say that you are not good at playing football, why don't you think about your hard work? How much!" Zhang Yuan said slowly.

Joseph fell into deep thought, Zhang Yuan touched his head and continued: "Think about it carefully, if you really don't want to continue, I can tell your father, but you have to think about it, you can't go back and forth on this matter, you say right?!"

The disadvantage of Juventus lies in physical fitness, the old-fashioned physical fitness. Conte used reality to tell everyone that he is not a master of rotation in single-lane battles last season. This season is still the same, but the next opponent Chelsea will have more trouble than Juventus. much.

Chelsea is facing an eight-line battle this season, and some lines have only one or two games, such as the European Super Cup, Club World Cup, etc., but the fact that Chelsea has played more games this season than Juventus Far more, they are more tired than Juventus.

At the beginning of the season, under the leadership of Di Matteo, Chelsea went smoothly in the league. Although Juventus broke the home court in the first round of the Champions League, it could not conceal the momentum of Chelsea at that time.

However, as the season progressed and there were more and more games, Chelsea's physical problems appeared. After being defeated by Manchester United at home due to a referee's misjudgment on October 10, Chelsea's record dropped all the way. Chelsea actually lost six of them.

Di Matteo's current situation is just like that of Ranieri last year. After taking over, the team rebounded and ushered in a wave of seven consecutive victories. Everyone thought the team was on track, but suddenly a victory, the team It has reached a trough again. In such a situation, no one can explain why, including the coach himself, who cannot find the exact reason. If you don’t believe me, if you ask Ranieri now, it may be difficult for him to answer you what the problem is.

Di Matteo can't figure out what's wrong now. In fact, it has something to do with Abrahimovic. Mourinho's legacy to Chelsea is to help Chelsea build a foundation It is also a double-edged sword.

As we all know, Chelsea played with a muscular style during Mourinho's period. There were monster strikers like Didier Drogba on the front line, with outstanding confrontation ability. Di Matteo's previous successors rarely changed. Qi later invited Scolari and Ancelotti, nothing more than wanting to change the previous muscular playing style and want to engage in technical flow.

There are also many biases in this direction in signings, but they all ended in failure. DiMatteo came to power, and the idea of ​​​​this transformation has not changed. Once Drogba left, he even changed back to a muscular player. There is no chance, and today's failure can be said to be a continuation of the predecessor.

They were not favored in the Champions League last year, but they won the championship in the end. It can be said that there is a certain element of luck. This is undeniable, and Di Matteo's coaching ability is not really outstanding.

It can be regarded as showing his true colors so far this season. He has not changed Chelsea's tradition, but has gradually led the team into the abyss. Such a situation certainly does not meet Abrahimovic's requirements.

The game against Juventus can be said to be his life-saving straw. At least not to lose is the bottom line. Believe it or not, he believes that if he loses this game, unless there is a miracle, he will not be able to qualify. get out of class will be dismissed.
