Fame with a ball

Half an hour before the start of the game, the Juventus players were sitting in the locker room, listening to coach Fabio Capello explaining his tactical arrangements for the game, while sorting out their jerseys, shoes and other equipment.

Lin Zhigao bent over to put on his socks, and his teammate De Qie Lie suddenly sat next to him and said, "Huh? Lin, did you change your leg guards?"

"It's the first time I got on my feet today, and your eyes are really good."

De Qielie asked suspiciously: "Where is the pair that Ronaldo from Real Madrid gave you?"

"That one, I kept it in the honor room." Lin Zhigao said with a little embarrassment: "After all, it is quite valuable, isn't it?"

Decherie listened in a daze, offering the shin guards in the room of honor?What kind of weird hobby is this... But although he was strange, he didn't ask in detail.

It's also fortunate that Decherie didn't ask in detail, otherwise Lin Zhigao really didn't know how to fulfill his lie.In fact, the pair of shin guards that Ronaldo gave him were confiscated by John just after wearing them home. He also said that they were "simply ugly and did not conform to my aesthetics", and then threw them to Lin Lin after two days. Zhigao has a bunch of more expensive and more beautiful shin guards, which are called "compensation".

Lin Zhigao felt that it was something given to him by a friend, and he could not let it disappear naturally, and then appear on some garbage mountain in the city, so he pursued John several times persistently, but it made John jealous. Afterwards, Ronaldo's leg guards were returned to Lin Zhigao, but there were many extras - two leg guards were skillfully inlaid on a metal trophy, and transparent crystals were sealed around the trophy. It looks like a precious work of art, its taste has improved and its value has increased...but from now on it can only be admired and cannot be worn.

John also showed off to Lin Zhigao with a very decent smile: "These natural crystals used to decorate the trophy are already ten times more expensive than the contents inside."

Lin Zhigao's expression at that time was a "∑(°△°|||)".

Afterwards, Lin Zhigao really wanted to praise John with "shameless!", but thought that if he praised him, John might be more arrogant and proud, and then extend his claws to his other collections, so Lin Zhigao endured it. Hold back your desire to complain.

Given that the shin guards wrapped in natural crystals are really beautiful and imposing, and the messy storage room at home is really not suitable for its aura, so Lin Zhigao put it in the honor room, next to his trophies. together.It's just that what makes him feel uneasy all the time is... If one day in the future, Ronaldo sees that he treats his gift like this, will his vanity suddenly burst, and then he will be able to float directly in the sky?Lin Zhigao thought it was very possible.

After tidying up the socks, it happened to cover the edge of the leg guard. When Lin Zhigao was about to tie his other foot, his vision blurred. hand.

"Wow, this thing is so beautifully made, and it also has your number and name!" De Qielie looked at the things in his hand carefully, and said in amazement: "It's so light...Campari...it's not the one from Palma Is it the signature of a well-known craftsman? It turns out that he made your shin guards! This pair must be very expensive. I heard that Eto'o asked Campari to order a pair before, and the asking price was several thousand euros. .”

"Uh, I don't know about this either..." Lin Zhigao scratched his head: "I got it from someone else."

"Give it?" Decherie was surprised, gossiping: "Who gave it? Could it be a crazy fan again? I remember that Lin has the most female fans in our team, tsk tsk tsk, they wrote to you before The credence words are disgusting... and there are dozens of fruit photos..." Decherie looked around furtively, and then lowered his voice and asked Lin Zhigao: "I remember that there are several of them who are very good. , how is this time? Good brother, please share."

"Did you forget that my mailbox has been managed by someone from the club? There is no such unhealthy thing." Lin Zhigao punched him dumbfounded: "If you want to see that kind of photo, search the Internet yourself!"

De Qielie pouted, turned and left in disappointment.

……

Juventus's game today has a special meaning for all Serie A fans.

Because in the last round of Serie A, Lin Zhigao tied the record for the most goals scored by AC Milan striker Nordahl in the 1949-1950 season, allowing this dusty 64-year history to reappear... …Is it possible for Lin Zhigao to break history and create a higher scoring record?This answer is inevitable, because there are only 33 rounds of Serie A at this time, and there are still five full games left for Lin Zhigao to challenge himself and history. A fact that the whole of Europe understands at this moment, That is the new scoring record in Serie A, which will be born at the feet of this young Chinese player.

All Juventus fans living in the moment are excited because the player who is about to set a new record is in their team!And this honor was officially taken from AC Milan!Nothing excites these fans more than taking honor from an enemy.

In the 34th round of Serie A, Juventus is playing at home, which is another icing on the cake, because Juventini can look forward to the birth of a new record on their own territory. As early as more than an hour before the start of the game, New Al The stadium was already extremely lively. Juventini organized themselves to sing the team song in the stands. The momentum they showed surprised the Catania fans who came from Sicily as a guest—the always elegant and calm The New Alp Stadium, why is there suddenly a bit of a devil's home atmosphere today?

Although Catania and the team have relatively few fans, only more than 800 people, they will never feel lonely, because at the New Alpi Stadium, there are at least 3000 Milan fans, and they all wear Milan jerseys , but it is specially to cheer for Catania!

Yes, that's right, 3000 Milan fans, just to mess with Juventus and cheer on their opponents.

Since the 49-50 season, Nordahl has always been the pride of AC Milan fans. No matter which team's striker won the Serie A Golden Boot, AC Milan fans will proudly and reservedly declare, "No matter how you challenge, the historical record is Created by our AC Milan players!" Now, this honor has been challenged to the greatest extent, and it will soon be lost. How can Milan fans not be angry?So even if AC Milan had a league game at the same time, they still chose to come to Neue Alp, not for anything else, just for the disgusting Bianconeri!

In order to respond to Juventus to the greatest extent, AC Milan fans not only put up various slogans, "Lin Zhigao will never be as good as Nordahl!" "Proud Chinese, be careful not to break your leg in the game!", He also tried to play the Catania team song, which surprised the Catania fans who came from afar, and immediately stood on the same front as the AC Milan fans.

However, no matter how vigorously the fans of AC Milan and Catania dance, the energy generated by their mere [-] people cannot be compared with the tens of thousands of people. The cameras sweeping across the stands are still fans celebrating and excited Accounting for the majority, these psychologically unbalanced "troublemakers" are like small rivers flowing into the sea, unable to stir up big waves.

On the bench, Catania coach Montella felt angry.

Just over half an hour before the start of the game, when he stood in front of the coach's bench and watched the players warm up, he scanned the stadium stands and saw many Juventus fans waving "Lin - our new record king" !" "Scored five dollars alone, making the league record break 4 for the first time!" Such a slogan made Montella feel extremely dazzling after seeing it-what are the Juventus fans doing, planning to win?They are so confident that they can definitely beat us, thinking that their No. 10 can break our goal?Bullying, this is definitely bullying!

怒火攻心的蒙特拉临时改变了他原本设置好的4321圣诞树阵型，摆出了451。451全称“1-4-5-1阵型”是指守门员、四名后卫、五名中场、一名前锋的阵容配置，除了前锋在前场徘徊外，4名后卫、5名中场球员全都守在了半场之内，是一种偏向于防守的战术。

The usual 451 formation can also be used for intensive defensive counterattacks, but in Montella's 451 in this game, the players generally stand at the back, and the 4 defenders can directly hold hands with the goalkeeper and dance face to face. The player's position is almost touching the goal line!Montella's goal is very clear and shameless: we just want 5:0, we just want to tie you, just don't want your No. 0 goal!

At the beginning of the game, everyone who saw the Catania players were speechless.

The Italian commentator was dumbfounded: "This, this is not even 451, is it? Look at those midfielders who are almost retreating to the goal line, and the only remaining striker is also standing near the center line. Coach Montella is playing Pyramid tactics..."

The Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the live broadcast of the game full of hope reacted more directly. Many old men patted their thighs and said in surprise: "Fuck! This tactic is too elegant for the national football team! Has the head coach of Catania just returned from China? Did you go back to the Football Association for further studies?"

"What's the difference between this and 10-0-0..."

"I bet this coach must have seen the film of the Chinese team winning the World Cup!"

Catania's tactics made the Juventus players feel pained. Almost everyone couldn't help casting sympathetic and envious glances at Lin Zhigao and Buffon respectively. As the core of the team's offense, it is estimated that Lin Zhigao's After the game, he was exhausted, and Buffon...it seemed that Catania had no intention of attacking aggressively. Buffon would probably have no problem lying down and sleeping in the goal.

In the commentary room of CCTV, Liu Jianhong, who was originally in high spirits, suddenly yawned and asked Zhang Lu, "Director Zhang, would you like some coffee?"

"Let's have a cup of strong tea. Fans and friends who are sitting in front of the TV and watching the live broadcast should also have a cup." Zhang Lu said helplessly: "I think today's game will be a tug-of-war."

……

In the 25th minute of the game, Juventus had 67% possession of the ball. They shot a total of 7 shots, none of which could penetrate Catania's solid defense.

The method of dealing with the iron barrel array should be arranged according to the practicality: use the high center forward to grab the point, long-range penetration, or a personal breakthrough like a top forward BUG.There is only one standard high center forward in the Juventus team, Iaquinta. Unfortunately, this veteran suffered a relapse and was suspended before the start of the last round of the league. Therefore, the only tactics available to Juventus are the last two. kind.

But it may be because the head coach of Catania has warned his players about the danger of Lin Zhigao before the game. In the 31st minute of the game, Lin Zhigao almost approached the front of the opponent's penalty area. The enemy, almost all ran back to assist the defense, the formation on the goal line, at that moment, looked a bit like 10-0-0...

Lin Zhigao even felt that even Messi, who is against the sky, would be helpless in the face of such a defense.At least this degree of strict defense made him very helpless. He tried a total of five long-range shots since he came on the field, but due to a lack of luck, none of them succeeded.In the end, he could only stand near the midfield, surrounded by three Catania midfielders, looking at the goal and sighing.

After 35 minutes, Juventus's shot count increased to 9 feet, but they still couldn't knock on Catania's door.

In the 40th minute, the ball possession rate of the Catania players was on the rise, reaching 45%. Passing back and forth in the half court, although Juventus was unable to launch more attacks, it also consumed a lot of physical strength of the players on both sides.

Liu Jianhong was so bored that he explained the tactics for almost 40 minutes, and his saliva was dry: "The iron barrel formation is a worldwide problem. So far, there has not been a single tactic that is absolutely effective when facing the iron barrel formation. Yes. Especially now that utilitarian football is prevalent, except for a few teams that can still stick to their own style, the vast majority of clubs actually use iron barrels to deal with powerful opponents on a regular basis.”

"Catania's tactics today are clearly playing tricks and dragging Juventus to death. As a strong Serie A team, Catania players also have superb tactical qualities, exquisite foot skills and sturdy Physical fitness, it can be said that they are stubborn and difficult to attack in today's game, no less than the first-class teams in other leagues. After a long-range shot, it was still impossible to penetrate Catania's goal."

When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, many fans and players were dizzy: Did the 45 minutes of the first half end like this?

No one had guessed such an ending before the game!

The fans thought they were going to see a good confrontation, or at least a wild one from Juventus.However, due to the lack of cooperation of the Catania players, although Juventus never stopped attacking, the unilateral massacre scene could not be created.

During the intermission, many Juventini looked at each other and wailed: "In the second half of the game, Catania won't just stick to it, right? Then what's the point of this game?"

Someone comforted them, and suggested: "Let's also set up an iron barrel formation, and neither side should attack, and then let Lin Zhigao see the opportunity when Catania relaxes his vigilance and presses forward to attack." Surprise attack."

This idea sounds very interesting, but it is absolutely impossible to apply it to today's game.Because Juventus' goal today is to score goals, to let Lin Zhigao break the league scoring record!If they also play defensive tactics, Catania coach Montella is definitely happy to see it. He would like to draw 0:0 with Juventus, so that he can be proud of the media after the game Boasting: "I blocked Lin Zhigao, I did what no other team could do!"

More fans pin their hopes on Capello, hoping that this iron-blooded coach can come up with a wonderful tactic for the team.

……

As I said before, the iron barrel formation is a worldwide problem, not to mention Capello, in fact, if all the famous coaches in the world are called together and let them have a big discussion, it will not be possible to discuss an absolutely good one. Especially when the strength of the side that puts up the iron bucket formation is not weak.

All Capello can do is to comfort the impetuous emotions of the players and let them proceed in the second half: "More long-range shots and more grab points. Create some set pieces or penalties near the Asian ban..."

Indeed, the set-piece tactic is indeed the best choice that can be made today, and it is also the most commonly used solution for most teams in the world when facing the iron barrel formation.

But Lin Zhigao didn't want to deliberately fall in Catania's penalty area to cheat a penalty kick. He hadn't gone to any film and television academy for further studies.Maybe from then on, Juventus' training base, Vivorno, will have the name of "Vivorno Film and Television Academy".

So he'd better follow his own path honestly, such as taking advantage of gaps to grab the ball or something.

In the 60th minute of the game, Catania striker Almiron took the ball and was cautiously heading towards the midfield. His spirit was high, his hands spread out, his eyes kept looking around, and he immediately bent over when there was any movement. Lower your waist, and your feet will immediately move sideways with the ball between them, like an over-frightened rabbit.

Lin Zhigao followed closely behind Almiron's body, and had already tried no less than three-legged steals, but each time he was discovered by the opponent in advance. Almiron avoided Lin Zhigao like a snake and scorpion. At one point, he immediately showed signs of falling with the ball. Lin Zhigao was concerned about this, and did not dare to go directly to fight.

Seizing an opportunity, Almiron flicked the ball back and passed it to his teammate Barrientos, who came forward. As soon as the ball left his feet, a look of relief appeared on his face.

The expression on Almiron's face was clearly seen by Lin Zhigao, who passed by him, and Lin Zhigao couldn't help but feel moved: The generals in Catania's defense line should have excellent psychological quality. Yes, but now some people feel relieved after passing the ball. Doesn't this...doesn't it mean that the Catania players are actually facing too much psychological pressure?

Appropriate pressure can make people more cautious and responsible, but once the pressure is too high, it will make people prone to mistakes.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhigao seemed to know what he should do.

He sprinted past Almiron and chased after the ball.

Catania striker Barrientos is hovering near the halfway line with the ball, neither attacking nor passing the ball to his teammates. Toss is in a dilemma at the moment.

Barrientos wants to attack, but he is afraid that Juventus will seize the opportunity to counterattack if the shot is unsuccessful. If he chooses to pass the ball to his teammates and continue to delay the game time, he is a little unwilling.

While Barrientos was hesitating, he suddenly saw a Juventus player running towards him from the corner of his eye. He immediately moved to the side protecting the ball as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

When he saw that Lin Zhigao was the one chasing him, Barrientos' heart skipped a beat, and his mind immediately filtered out all the scary things about this person in front of him, the advice from his coaches and teammates, and the long-term influence from newspapers and TV. At the same time, the dissatisfaction in my heart became stronger—we are all forwards, but why is there such a big gap between people?

At this moment, Lin Zhigao suddenly moved from the side of Barrientos to in front of him with a quick movement that dazzled Barrientos.

The two formed a confrontational situation.

The speed and momentum shown by Lin Zhigao made Barrientos feel uneasy after seeing it. According to common sense, he should immediately turn around and pass the ball back, but for some reason, Barrientos, who was unwilling and jealous in his heart, suddenly A very bold idea came up: If he can pass Lin Zhigao and shoot, even if the goal is not scored, will everyone treat him differently?

Barrientos was entangled in his heart, and his body didn't move for a while, and Lin Zhigao didn't take this opportunity to steal the ball. He just stood quietly in front of Barrientos, observing the opponent's facial expressions, while Adjust the position with tiny steps to deal with any unexpected situation.

Catania coach Montella stood off the court, a little anxious: "Pass back! Hurry up and pass the ball back! Barry, what the hell are you thinking, silly boy?"

Maybe Montella didn't know what Barrientos was thinking, but Lin Zhigao, who was confronting Barrientos face to face, could see something. He felt that the Catania player in front of him would not give up on his feet easily. ball.

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, Barrientos suddenly moved!

Lin Zhigao immediately opened his eyes wide, trying to see every movement of Barrientos clearly, so as to judge from which position the opponent wanted to pass.

Barrientos' shoulders suddenly swayed left and right!

"The pendulum is extraordinary!" The commentator exclaimed: "Barrientos wants to copy Ronaldo's pendulum to surpass Lin!"

Lin Zhigao's breathing immediately became rapid. He thought he had met an opponent with exquisite skills. If Barrientos could really use the pendulum trick, it would be difficult for Lin Zhigao to judge the correct direction of the opponent's breakthrough.

Just as everyone was holding their breath, waiting to see the one-on-one duel between Barrientos and Lin Zhigao, Barrientos's shoulders that were originally tilted to the right suddenly changed direction sharply to the left.

Immediately, a commentator shouted: "Here we come!"

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

After Barrientos swayed his shoulders left and right, he just stepped out with his right foot to pass someone, but suddenly his body tilted and fell to the ground!

The Catania striker wanted to imitate Ronaldo's pendulum to trick Lin Zhigao's center of gravity from shaking the opponent, but whoever wanted to shake his own center of gravity first, and tripped himself!

After a second of silence at the New Alp Stadium, there was a loud roar of laughter.

Lin Zhigao was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted quickly. He realized that this was his chance!

"Lin Zhigao steals the ball! He kicks away the football rolling in front of Barrientos!"

"The speed is so fast! Lin has rushed to the half of Catania!"

"This is a fatal mistake! If Barrientos hadn't insisted on going to Lin Zhigao with fancy skills, maybe the ball is still on Catania's side!"

"Lodi was passed... Bellucci was also passed... Several Catania strikers who failed to react in time were passed by Lin Huang!"

"Bicycle! Lin stepped on the bicycle twice in a row, and Lin passed two defenders!"

"This is called an exquisite skill! Barrientos should really open his eyes and see, not everyone can imitate Ronaldo!"

Some commentators from various countries bowed their heads and sniggered, while others started laughing and teasing Catania.Even Zhang Lu, who has always been kind and honest, couldn't help laughing and said: "What do you mean don't do porcelain work without diamonds? Today I saw the live-action version..."

Catania coach Montella looked ashen, seeing Lin Zhigao's breakthrough in Catania's half, he ran to the side of the court and shouted: "Are you all stupid? Stop him! Stop him quickly ah!"

It's not that the Catania defenders don't want to stop Lin Zhigao, but they also need to be able to stop him!Lin Zhigao's super explosive power and speed doomed Catania's defenders to be left behind by the opponent as long as they were slow in reacting for a second!

Lin Zhigao rushed all the way to the goal!

"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!"

"The 36th ball! The 36th ball! The 36th ball!"

"Take the scoring record in a single season from AC Milan!"

New Alp seemed to come alive at this moment, the fans shouted loudly, their excited faces almost deformed.

I saw Lin Zhigao raised his right foot while running, and the ball didn't stop after reaching the penalty area. He directly aimed at the football with his instep and volleyed violently!

Wrapped in the sound of the wind, the football spun at high speed and flew into the far corner of the goal!

The Catania goalkeeper stretched out his hand to make a save, but his hand speed was far slower than the speed of the ball——Lin Zhigao's powerful volley in the penalty area, how can ordinary people save it?

"The goal has been scored!!!" Liu Jianhong endured for almost half the game, and now he can finally shout out the roar at the top of his throat!

"The 36th league goal! Lin Zhigao made history!! He made history!!!"

"The Premier League record and the Serie A record have been broken by Lin Zhigao one after another. The meaning contained in it is not just a simple number! Lin Zhigao is definitely not alone at this time! Behind him are thousands of Chinese, Asians, yellow people! He has done things that billions of people have not been able to do. Who said that the genes of yellow people must be worse than white people and black people? I will slap anyone who says that in the future Melon seeds!"

"I love Lin Zhigao, I am proud that my country has such a player! Continue to set more records, I look forward to the Chinese team with Lin Zhigao in this summer's World Cup to create more miracles !"

Liu Jianhong was so excited that he almost fell into a state of madness. This speech scared his colleague Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu completely forgot that it was live on TV at the moment. He opened his mouth wide and stared at Liu Jianhong dumbfounded. .

In the whole of China, Zhang Lu was not the only one who was frightened by Liu Jianhong. The hearts of countless Chinese fans who stayed up all night watching the live broadcast suddenly jumped, especially those normal fans who watched TV with the windows open and the volume was high. While they were frantically looking for the remote control to lower the volume, the neighbors upstairs and downstairs had already started yelling: "What are the ghosts screaming in the middle of the night! Are you trying to keep people from sleeping?!"

According to relevant media statistics afterwards, Liu Jianhong's commentary at the moment of Lin Zhigao's goal was twice as loud as his normal commentary state!On the second day, Liu Jianhong also became one of the hot words on the Internet, and was ridiculed by countless netizens, "CCTV has finally cultivated a second Huang Jianxiang!"

……

No one expected that the Iron Barrel, which troubled Juventus for most of the game, would declare bankruptcy in such a dramatic way!

At this moment, Barrientos became Catania's sinner and Juventus' benefactor at the same time!

The Juventinis can finally show their slogans openly again, shouting: "The new Serie A record-maker belongs to us!"

Although Juventus only scored one goal against Catania until the end of the game, this goal was a golden goal. It not only created a new Serie A single-season scoring record for Lin Zhigao, but also Victory for Juventus!

After the game, a reporter interviewed Catania's head coach Montella: "Catania put up an iron barrel formation but still allowed Juventus to penetrate the goal. It failed to prevent Lin Zhigao from setting a higher scoring record. You Do you feel frustrated?"

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Montella didn't have too much frustration on his face. He even said proudly: "But we only allowed him to score one goal, didn't we? The 37th, 38th, or even 39th goal record is only 36. May I ask which of the current Serie A teams has not been scored by Lin Zhigao? No. Our Catania players have done their best Obligation, we did not let this Chinese set the record on us, so the rest of the burden, let other Serie A teams do it, Catania's task has been completed."

It turns out that in the hearts of most Serie A coaches and players, being able to prevent Lin Zhigao from scoring more goals is considered a success.
