Chapter 43
Three days later, the film crew's friends finally finished filming and returned to China with a bunch of video materials about Zhu Hantao. It is said that they would go back and do some post-production, and the finished film will be seen on TV next week.

Zhu Hantao's life has finally returned to its former peace. He goes back and forth between home and the training ground every day, waiting for the next game.

After the sixth round of Serie A, the Turin team led by coach Novellino ranked tenth in the standings with one win, five draws and eight points. They only ranked above Sampdoria with eight points on goal difference, barely standing in the upper half.

Of course, outsiders don't know, and Zhu Hantao himself doesn't know either. If it wasn't for his goal, the Turin team should be in a very embarrassing situation at this time, ranking fourth from the bottom with four draws and two losses, only one point away from the relegation zone.

This is not to say that the head coach should be grateful to Zhu Hantao. From another perspective, he also gave Zhu Hantao a chance. It should be said that it is mutual achievement.

Just this weekend, the Turin team will face Sampdoria, which has the same points as them, at home. Walter is very confident in his team and must win the opponent at home.

During the training, the coaching staff made their own attempts in different ways, hoping to find the best offensive combination.

"Judging from the training in the past few days, the striker formed by Bijelanovic and Zhu's partner is better." Assistant coach Giuseppe flipped through the training records in his hand and reported to coach Novellino.

The head coach pondered for a while, "Well, I also saw it in my eyes. Obviously, with Biye standing in front to support, Zhu can maximize his impact. Zhu's scoring ability is indeed very good."

"If it weren't for Zhu... Bijelanovic's performance in the previous game was really... so-so."

"That's right, Zhu has a lot of scoring methods. It's not easy to develop a whole body of skills at a young age. It's Walter, who has your insight and talent, and gave him the opportunity to soar to the sky. I think Zhu will become an excellent striker."

"Then let the two of them start the game. Ventola will continue to be a substitute. Who will play in the midfield?" Coach Novellino thought with his chin in his hands.

"Recoba, his performance in the last game was eye-catching at first glance, but in fact he didn't play any role. The midfielder still needs to be able to give enough support to the striker."

"It can't be said that he didn't play well, but... let him rest and rest, and let him stand by after the game."

"Rosina took a break, can he play next game?"

"Well, no problem, he's in good shape."

"That's okay, let him play on the left, and the others will continue to start the previous game unchanged."

"Okay." The assistant coach responded and recorded it in the notebook.

"Mateo Rubin for Komoto, Malko Mota for Natali, that's it."

"Huh? Didn't Rubin make a mistake last time?"

"That's not his problem, give him a chance."

"Oh well."

……

Ventola, who was assigned to the substitute vest, was very uncomfortable. After all, he was also a Serie A veteran. Now his position was replaced by a young boy from the youth team. He couldn't say anything, but he did play better than himself in these two games.

Except for him, the Turin players, whether they are starters or substitutes, have a good relationship with Zhu Hantao. Those who haven’t spoken much can at least maintain a basic superficial friendship. A few younger players such as Marco Motta, David Bodone and Rosina are already able to joke with Zhu Hantao.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" As soon as the main team and the substitute team were divided into two teams according to the lineup set by the head coach to prepare for an internal practice match, coach Novellino came up with a new idea.

"Just now the lineup was 4-4-2, right? Let's try to change it to 4-3-3. Don't change anything else. Rosina, you advance and play the left winger position. You can pull out or cut inside to play as you like. The three midfielders run more. Each of you needs to cover more area. Zhu, you can also move to the right appropriately."

Of course, it is impossible for everyone to object. They all obey the arrangement of the head coach and try new tactics.This may be the benefit of not having big-name stars in the team.

"Alessandro Rosina's breakthrough on the left is very threatening. After the breakthrough, there is no problem whether he chooses to cross or cut inside to hit the goal. His skills are trustworthy."

"But Zhu is not as familiar with the right side as he is in the middle. It's better to let him play the position he is best at."

Coach Novellino nodded and shouted to the field: "Zhu! I mean you can go to the right, not that you have to go to the right, you should go back to the position you are familiar with!"

"Huh—" Zhu Hantao breathed a sigh of relief. He was very uncomfortable playing just now. Although it's not that he has never played as a winger before, nor can he play as a winger, but he just isn't used to it and doesn't like it.

He still likes to play in the middle and wait for the opportunity to score. He is a ruthless shooter. The only goal on the field is to score. It would be best if he can not do it himself. Let others do these tasks, and he can save a little energy.

Time flies, and after a week, the next Serie A game is coming again. Torino head coach Novellino is very satisfied with the team's state and atmosphere, and he practiced offensive tactics every day to hone his skills against Samp.

At three o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday, October 2007, 10, the seventh round of the Italian Football League, the Turin team's home game against Sampdoria officially started.

The Turin team is the main player who wore the yellow vest in the previous team practice, the goalkeeper Cereni, this time he is also playing against his old club. He came from the youth training of Sampdoria. He played for the team for two seasons when Sampdoria was still in the second division.

The back line has made some adjustments compared to the previous starting game. Salvatore Lanna, Marco Mota, De La Fiore and the teenager Matteo Rubin who came on the field to give points.

Since the reported line-up is still 4-4-2, the midfield is Alessandro Rossina, Eugenio Corini, Vincenzo Grera and Paolo Zanetti.

The striker Bijelanovic and Zhu Hantao played together.

当然比赛中可能不一定严格遵守4-4-2的阵形，说不准就改踢4-3-3了。

Then let's take a look at Sampdoria's starting lineup. They have a 5-4-1 lineup for this game. The goalkeeper is the 23-year-old young goalkeeper Antonio Mirant on loan from Juventus.

Mirkopieri at left back, Cristian Zenoni at right back and three centre-backs Luigi Sala, Hugo Campagnaro and Stefano Lucchini.

The four midfielders are Sergio Volpi, Paolo Samarco, Angelo Palumbo and Gnero Delvecchio.

Finally, the single arrow Montella, speaking of Montella, apart from senior Roma fans, I don’t know how many people have an impression of him. This member of the golden generation of Serie A that emerged in the mid-90s, scored 96 goals in his first Serie A season in the 97-22 season. He was just in his early twenties at that time, and he played for Sampdoria.

In contrast, Del Piero, who played for Juventus in the 1993-94 season, only scored 5 goals in the first year; in the 1994-95 season, Vieri scored 7 goals on behalf of Atlanta, which can only be regarded as two qualified rookies.

Totti, who debuted at the beginning of the 1992-93 season, only scored 11 goals in the league in his first five Serie A seasons.Inzaghi's first year was also a failure. In the 1995-96 season, he entered the Serie A upstart Parma. He only scored 2 goals in the first season, and then suffered a serious injury for 1 year. His career was almost lost.

When they first entered Serie A, the starting point was far from Montella.However, Montella's first year was too good, his debut was the peak, and it was difficult to surpass himself in the follow-up. He had ups and downs in Rome for many years, and he was loaned to Sampdoria this summer.

The scores of the two teams are the same and the rankings are close, and the difference in strength is not big. The Torino team at home has more than 1 supporters cheering enthusiastically. The head coach Novellino said during the mobilization before the game that he only has one requirement, and that is to win the game!
The boys of the Torino team did not live up to the trust of the coach. They took the initiative on the court from the very beginning of the game, and their offensive routines were simple but efficient.

After stealing the ball from the midfielder, Glera quickly passed the midfielder, smiled inwardly without showing it, looked around at the players around, and then handed the ball to Corini, who did not hesitate for a second and crossed Rosina long-distance on the spot.

Rosina is very confident in his speed, and he doesn't care about the opponent's full-back. He dribbles the ball at high speed and passes the opponent, and then chooses to cross.

The ball was passed to the center and Bijelanovic was tall and jumped. The Sampdoria central defender did not interfere too much with him. Biye grabbed a point and headed the ball to Zhu Hantao who had just started and rushed into the penalty area.

"Go in, go in, go in! Go in!"

"In the No.20 minute of the game, the Torino team took the lead in scoring and the home team led [-]-[-]."

"It's Zhu again. The Turin teenager who has been in hot form recently scored another goal for the team. This is the fourth goal in three consecutive games."

Near the corner area on the field, both Rosina and Bijellanovic ran towards Zhu Hantao who scored the goal, and several of them waved to the home fans in the stands to thank them.

The supporters of the Turin team were already excitedly celebrating the goal, and they cheered louder when they saw this, giving Zhu Hantao and the others endless applause.

As soon as the camera turned, it was shown to the head coach Novellino standing on the sidelines. He just waved his fist a little, then returned to his seat with a smile.

"It seems that the players are really in good condition, so you can rest assured." Although the Torino team had the upper hand before, as long as they failed to score, it was all fake.

Zhu Hantao's parents also came to the scene to cheer for their son, and they were still sitting in the same seats as the last game. Fortunately, after the last game, they just saw their son's goal again. They were not as excited as they were last time. They just cheered for Zhu Hantao's goal like all the Torino fans around.

The game has just started, and the outcome is still unknown. Sampdoria's head coach Mazari is very calm, signaling the players not to worry, take your time and stabilize first.

The game continued, Sampdoria kicked off, Montella kicked the ball out, midfielder Delvecchio made a pass back, Palombo and Samarco cooperated with short passes, and without paying attention, they hit the ball in front of the Turin team's penalty area.
