Chapter 5 Backward
Siena served a corner kick, the corner kick was taken, and was cleared out of the penalty area by central defender Manuel Varatti. The ball fell to Siena's left forward Fusaledi. He wanted to organize the attack again. This time Luka made a contribution.

Vincenzo pushed forward along the right side, took the bottom line and chose to cross, Lobosco missed the point under the marking of the opposite central defender, and the ball was confiscated by the goalkeeper.

Siena also launched an attack from their right flank. Right back Cecchi and right winger Spada cooperated with each other. They missed midfielder Marc Lusso and left back Mazza.

Mioni threw the ball to the midfielder Bottone, who dribbled the ball in the middle, and tried a long shot from outside the penalty area. It was powerful but the angle was too straight, and the goalkeeper saved the baseline.

The Turin team took the first corner kick of the game from Capelupo. Siena's central defender Calleri hit the ball, but he didn't see the high point. The second point was still in the penalty area and was grabbed by Daniel.

Daniel wanted to hit the goal but there was someone around him interfering. Before he could make a shot, another central defender of Siena, Castaldo, stabbed him out of the penalty area, and Daniel kicked empty.

It took a few minutes for Daniel to touch the ball for the first time, and he was too eager to show and missed a good chance.

"Damn it, Zhu is going to laugh at me for such a good opportunity just now." Daniel thought, "No, I have to play more aggressively."

"Hahahaha, Daniel, you really lost the chain." He really guessed right, Zhu Hantao was laughing happily at the sight of his friend's embarrassment.

The two teams had offense and defense against each other. You came and I went back and forth several times, but failed to score a goal, and gradually entered a stalemate.

Twenty-ten minutes passed quickly, and the pace of the game was much slower than at the beginning. Both sides played very simple offenses. To put it bluntly, they were crosses from the bottom, and young players couldn't execute any complicated tactics.

Don't look at the three midfielders in Turin. Their task is not only to intercept the opponent's attack in the middle, but also to distribute the ball to the wing, and from the wing to the penalty area. Today, Turin's starting striker Lobosco seems to have no shooting boots. He sent the ball away with several good opportunities.

Except for the fact that Daniel didn't find a good opportunity the previous time, his performance was quite mediocre, but Luka performed well, and he let him gallop on the right side.

Whether it was the substitute players off the court or the sparse spectators in the stands, they gradually lost interest and chatted with each other.

Indeed, there are young players on both sides, and there are no geniuses who will become stars in the future. The skills are not outstanding, and the tactical execution is not good.

Many people who know something about Italian football should know that in Italy, they attach great importance to tactics. Chat with any fan, and he can tell you everything about 352, 433, chain defense, Christmas tree, bottom cross, and flying with both wings.

So Italy used to be rich in coaches and produced many tactical masters, but it is absolutely nonsense to say that their youth training also pays attention to tactics, not technology and body.

On the one hand, there are all young players in their teens. What kind of tactics can they practice?

If you really only practice tactics and don't care about anything else, a group of people who don't know how to play strictly follow the coach's tactics, stop the ball ten meters away, shoot and hit the plane, can they play?Tactics must also be supported by a considerable degree of technical level and physical condition.

It's just that in Italy, I don't like players who focus on personal strength. Those who like to show off their skills on the field and disrupt the team's tactical deployment are not developed. All players must strictly follow the tactics specified by the coach. Move in a fixed position.

However, Italian players must play under the team's overall tactics. To some blind players, it seems that Italian players have no skills and only know tactics.

Some people who don’t understand football know that Italy has defense, and it’s great to be able to say a chain defense, but no matter how Italy is one of the representatives of European Latin football, their footwork and skills, as long as anyone who has watched their games knows, it is absolutely outstanding.

Speaking of the game, on the bench of the Torino team, except for the coach who was always paying attention to the situation on the field, only Zhu Hantao was still watching the game seriously. He was thinking about how he should play if he played.

Zhu Hantao looked at the players on the field, looked at Siena's uniform, and gradually lost his mind...

Siena has a nickname, Juventus Little, because their team emblem, their jersey, black and white stripes are very similar to Juventus, and they do maintain a good relationship with Juventus, which can be said to be a Juventus faction team.

How good is the relationship between the two teams? Let’s put it this way, the Italian Fiat Group, the parent company of Juventus, is the main sponsor of Siena. Juventus often send some young or old players who can’t play in the team to Siena for training. Siena can basically be regarded as the Juventus second team.

The relationship between the two teams is also reflected on the court. In the league, points are often sent to each other. In the historical 0708 season, Siena succeeded in relegation after scoring three points on Juventus, and then struggled to prevent Inter Milan from winning the championship in advance.

Zhu Hantao used to wear a black and white striped jersey to represent the team, but of course it was not Juventus’s, but Juventus’s uniform. Unknowingly, he was a little dazed. It would be a lie to say that he has no affection for the team he has been with for five years. No matter what understandable reasons are there for being kicked out, it is impossible not to be angry or sad.

"Beep! Beep! Beep——" Two short whistles and one long whistle brought Zhu Hantao back to reality. After the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the players walked out of the court in twos and threes, talking and laughing.

Coach Piggino looked at his players and didn't seem to think there was any problem with the result of the first half, his face darkened instantly.

Zhu Hantao got up and followed everyone into the locker room. Those who went to the toilet went to the toilet, those who drank water, and those who chatted loudly. No one noticed that the coach had stretched his face.

It was busy for a while, and after a few minutes, the players had solved their physical needs. When everyone was there, Coach Piggino coughed.

However, the chatting voice was too noisy, overshadowing his deliberate cough, so he could only amplify the volume and cough again forcefully.

Only then did the players notice that the head coach had something to say, and they all shut up, waiting for the coach's instructions.

"Are you satisfied with your performance? After running so far, at his home court, without conceding a goal at halftime, and launching a few decent offenses, are you satisfied?" The coach said without any emotion, and it sounded very harsh.

"Are they strong? Not strong? What are you playing! Are Loreto's shots in the first half at your usual level? Daniel, did you play? I thought you would be invisible!"

……

Calling and criticizing the players one by one, and spraying the players with blood, Daniel didn't dare to mess around at this time, shrunk his shoulders and bowed his head and didn't speak.

"Send me that goddamn football into that goddamn Siena goal, do you hear that?!"

"heard it."

"I didn't hear you, didn't you eat? Louder!"

"heard it!"

"Very good. The tactics remain the same. I'll watch your performance in the second half. Don't blame me for replacing you if you don't perform well."

"Yes, coach!"

"Okay, let's rest, hurry up and recover your strength." After speaking, Coach Pigino walked out of the locker room and left the room for the players so that they could feel more comfortable during the rest.

"Why is the coach so fierce? Have you taken gunpowder? This is only the first game. Isn't it normal for everyone to be in a bad state?" Daniel said aggrievedly after being scolded.

Zhu Hantao was wondering if it was possible that he would be able to play soon in the second half, he was so excited, he had to go out and warm up right away.

Seeing that Zhu Hantao ignored him, Daniel said dissatisfiedly, "Hey, what are you thinking, I'm talking to you."

"Ah? Oh! Sorry, I was thinking about something, I didn't hear what you said just now." Zhu Hantao came back to his senses.

"What are you thinking, so engrossed?" Daniel asked, and Luca also looked at Zhu Hantao curiously.

"I was thinking about scoring a few goals after coming off the bench in the second half. Anyway, you should pass the ball to me more, so you can get assists."

"Hahahaha, why are you suddenly so humorous, Zhu?"

"Yeah, I thought you Hua people were all serious and old-fashioned, hahahaha."

It was just a joke among friends, but the people next to him overheard it and ran to tell Loreto.

"You still want to play? You don't know the heights of the sky and the earth." Loreto Loposco, a tall man of about 1.9 meters, stood in front of Zhu Hantao a head taller than him, condescending and intimidating, "You'd better pay attention."

"Damn, we were just joking among our friends. How can this be taken seriously? Who would go to your place to inform you? That's nothing." Although Zhu Hantao is not a timid person, but he is an adult, there is really no need to conflict with others over such a trivial matter. The big deal is to slap him in the face with his performance on the court in the future.

"Hmph!" Loreto turned and walked away after getting a satisfactory answer.

When he was far away, Daniel said, "Zhu, you are so cowardly, men should be a bit tougher, at most we will help you fight with them, what are you afraid of!"

"Why didn't you dare to speak when he was here just now, hahahaha." Luca didn't forget to poke Daniel.

"Okay, don't worry about these, the performance on the court is the last word, if you really want to help me, pass the ball to me." Zhu Hantao didn't care.

"That's only if the coach actually puts you on the field in the second half."

"Don't worry, there will be a chance."

……

In the second half, Siena took the lead in serving after changing sides.Striker Sani rushed forward after kick-off.

Midfielder Pasquini sent a long pass over the top of the Turin defense, and Sani easily controlled the ball at the front of the penalty area.

This happened just at the beginning of the game, and the players on the Turin side hadn't reacted yet, especially the defensive players hadn't entered the state yet, and the central defender was wiped clean by Sani in one fell swoop.

Another chance for a single-handed ball, this time Sani pushed a far corner, Mioni fell to the ground and tried his best to save but failed to save, the ball rolled across his fingertips and into the net.

The coach of the Siena team clenched his fists and jumped up excitedly. "The goal has been scored!" Siena happily celebrated the goal. It was not easy, and finally broke the deadlock at the beginning of the second half.

His team fell behind 0:1, and the head coach's face turned dark just a little bit, "Get up, warm up." He called the players on the bench to warm up on the sidelines, putting a little pressure on the players on the field.

While warming up, Zhu Hantao observed the situation on the field and was always ready to play.

After Siena took the lead, they played more leisurely. They controlled the rhythm of the game, controlled the ball as much as possible, and did not rush to attack. Turin had no choice but to rush.

Luka made a flying shovel and broke the opponent's dribbler. Then he got up quickly and brought the ball all the way to the baseline. After observing it, another cross was made. The opponent's central defender predicted the landing point and got stuck first. Loreto was squeezed away by the opponent in embarrassment and failed to grab the ball.

The time has come to 10 minutes, Torino is still 0:1 behind Siena by one goal, Loreto's state has not recovered in the second half, and he missed a few more chances, finally coach Pigino couldn't stand it anymore, stood up and glanced at the bench.

"Zhu, you go to warm up and get ready to play, you..." The coach was about to say something, but after thinking about it for a while, he decided to let it go, "Just play well." Coach Pigino decided not to put too much pressure on him, let's see him play, and hope he can repay his trust.
