Chapter 181 Just Kidding (Bonus Chapter for 3800 Monthly Tickets)
Prandelli, who had been slightly shocked, finally calmed down.
Next was how his team would score… At home, a draw was a failure!
The Fiorentina fans in the stands of the Franchi Stadium were constantly chanting, cheering for their team. Fiorentina fans were known for their loyalty. No matter what difficulties the team faced, they would never abandon them and would always cheer them on from the stands.
Such a home atmosphere was quite terrifying.
Zenit, having tied the score, also obviously meant to slow down the tempo. There were fewer forward passes, and fewer balls went to Chen Hero. Dainelli's ability to defend against Chen Hero was, of course, also related to Zenit's slower offensive rhythm and less clear forward intentions, in addition to his own experience and skills.
Anyway, forcing a draw on the road with an away goal was already very good. We should play defensive counterattack now…
That was the thought of many Zenit players.
But not Chen Hero's.
Several times, he roared at his teammates on the field because they didn't pass the ball to him in time, but chose conservative horizontal and backward passes: "Why don't you pass to me?! Attack, we need to attack!"
He was quite helpless. He was a center forward who needed to rely on his teammates. If the midfielders and defenders didn't pass the ball to him and didn't support him, his role would be very small.
The commentator for Italian television was particularly happy to see this scene: "Oh, oh, oh! It seems that there is infighting among the players of Saint Petersburg Zenit! This is great!"
※※※
Taking advantage of a dead ball situation, Chen Hero ran back and shouted to captain Tymoshchuk, "We need to attack, we need to attack!"
Tymoshchuk obviously had a different opinion: "Wrong, Hero. What we need now is defense. Their offense is very fierce…"
"That's exactly why we need to attack!" Chen Hero shook his head. "Use offense to suppress their offense."
Tymoshchuk shook his head, disagreeing with Chen Hero's view. As captain, it was necessary to seek stability at this time.
Chen Hero was very helpless, but there was nothing he could do. He was the captain, and he was nothing.
On the field, the captain obviously had more say than him.
This time, he really had to rely on himself.
He suddenly thought that all of this was very similar to the scenes he had experienced in the instance. He realized that the training he had experienced in the instance could also provide some practical experience.
Because his teammates had all retreated to defend, he was basically the only one at the front. Even if his teammates kicked the ball over from the backcourt, he wouldn't be able to coordinate with them in time, because his teammates were still behind and hadn't run up yet…
As long as he controlled the ball at his feet for a little longer, it would be immediately intercepted. The Fiorentina defenders were not to be trifled with.
This team was indeed very strong.
But he would not admit defeat.
Since it's just me, since it's like an instance, then I'll play this like an instance!
※※※
Dainelli found that Chen Hero had leaned up again. He wouldn't engage in physical confrontation with this monster…
When he leaned up, he turned around and retreated, and the opponent lost his center of gravity and staggered, losing the ball again.
Laughter rang out in the stands again.
Chen Hero still didn't feel annoyed or frustrated. He got up from the ground and patted his butt. He didn't care about the laughter in the stands at all. What he cared about was the fact that he had discovered.
This Dainelli was afraid of physical contact with him… But did you think you can avoid it?
Chen Hero patiently waited for this opportunity for revenge.
When the ball from the backcourt was passed to his side again, he rushed up and stopped the ball with his chest, and then Dainelli appeared behind him again.
He didn't mark him closely, but maintained a very suitable distance, which would neither allow the opponent to slip away from him because the distance was too far, nor would he get into a physical battle with the opponent because the distance was too close.
Dainelli was indeed an experienced center back, and he was worthy of being the captain of Fiorentina.
But I'm not simple either!
Chen Hero refused to admit defeat. He became stronger when he encountered the strong.
Dainelli had made him suffer several times in a row, and he would get his revenge.
He made a fierce move towards Dainelli again. He didn't look back, but he knew what Dainelli would do.
Sure enough, Dainelli stepped back and yielded, wanting to make Chen Hero lose his center of gravity.
Who would have thought that Chen Hero was prepared this time? He didn't really want to hit Dainelli with all his strength, but suddenly stopped his center of gravity, and at the same time dialed the ball to the left with his foot, and turned around on the spot!
You thought I was going to hit you? Just kidding! Hey!
Dainelli didn't expect Chen Hero to not hit him. He was already about one meter away from Chen Hero, and now he took a step back on his own initiative, almost two meters away. He watched helplessly as Chen Hero in front of him completed his turn, but he was powerless—his center of gravity couldn't be adjusted so quickly. By the time he adjusted his center of gravity and rushed up again, the opponent had already completed his turn and gotten rid of the defense!
This was in front of the penalty area!
What did it mean to let a center forward turn around?
Dainelli knew it very well, but now he could only feel anxious. The rapid change of center of gravity made his body stiff for a brief second. In this second, he watched Chen Hero complete his turning action in front of him, and then he swung his right foot.
Another center back, Gamberini, had been guarding Kerzhakov all this time. Kerzhakov was at the top of the penalty area, helping Chen Hero attract the attention of at least two defenders.
At this critical moment, Dainelli saw defensive midfielder Melo (felipe_melo) rush up from behind Chen Hero!
Dainelli immediately felt a sense of relief that he had been "saved," and he let out a long breath.
Unfortunately, this breath was stifled halfway through.
Because he saw the next scene—
Melo rushed up from behind, but Chen Hero's body was wide enough to cover up the ball. Melo couldn't bother to go around to intercept the ball, so he directly used this force to throw his whole body onto Chen Hero's back, hoping to interfere with Chen Hero's shot.
Chen Hero was about to shoot when he felt something on his back hit him.
So the ball that should have been kicked directly to his right foot paused, and he didn't shoot it. At the same time, his body leaned back slightly, bearing the impact of Melo. His body only swayed, and he didn't lose his center of gravity or lose control of the ball.
His pause also shook Gamberini, who rushed up to block him, and made him lose his center of gravity—Gamberini thought that Chen Hero would shoot immediately, so he threw his whole body horizontally, intending to block Chen Hero with his body. Who would have thought that the ball didn't come as expected, and he pounced in vain…
With just such a pause, Melo didn't intercept the ball, and Gamberini also fell to the ground, unable to stop him. But Dainelli recovered!
He took a big step, aimed at the opportunity, and was about to intercept the ball.
According to his idea, tall guys over 1.9 meters were slow to react on their feet, especially when shooting in the penalty area, their movements looked like slow motion.
Who would have thought that just as he raised his leg and planned to stretch out his foot to destroy it, the ball suddenly disappeared!
Yes, it just disappeared from his eyes with a "swoosh"!
※※※
"Hero! Shoot again—"
Chen Hero's movements were much more agile than Dainelli thought. His second kick was very fast. Instead of swinging his entire thigh, he only relied on swinging his calf, and his right foot hit the ball like the end of a whip.
With a bang, the ball flew straight towards the goal!
In the penalty area, Chen Hero's shot was extremely powerful!
Frey made a save, he judged the direction correctly, but his speed of diving and saving didn't keep up with the speed of the ball…
The ball crashed into the net and was stopped…
The ball and Frey fell from the air together.
The cheers of the Saint Petersburg Zenit fans and the shouts of Shirgejevski rang out at the same time: "Goal—!! Zenit takes the lead again on the road!!"
※※※
Everything just now was like lightning and flint, it happened so fast, Gamberini was still lying on the ground and hadn't gotten up, Melo was still leaning on Chen Hero's back, Dainelli's leg stretched out, but he only had time to pose…
The ball had already entered the goal.
※※※
When Chen Hero saw the ball fly into the goal, he turned around and ran towards the backcourt, his goal was Tymoshchuk.
The Ukrainian originally planned to open his arms to celebrate, but who would have thought that Chen Hero would run in front of him first.
"See, captain? It's like this! It's like this! We need to attack!!" He shouted loudly at Tymoshchuk.
Tymoshchuk really didn't know what to say. He had refused his proposal in person, but he didn't expect him to run over and demonstrate it to him…
Facts speak louder than words, no matter how eloquent you are, you can't match the truth. Now Chen Hero put the truth in front of him and let him choose.
He grinned, this was really… Chen Hero's style!
While Chen Hero was celebrating with his other teammates, he ran to the sidelines to ask the coach what to do. Attacking or defending was not up to him. The reason why he insisted on defending before was not because he wanted to defend himself, but because coach Advocaat asked the whole team to defend cautiously.
"He just said that…" After repeating Chen Hero's words to Advocaat, Tymoshchuk waited for the coach's reply.
The first thing he heard was Advocaat's laughter.
Then: "Solid defense."
He stared at the coach, and his mind was also thinking about why the coach chose to continue defending. That's right, now we are leading, and the game time is… He looked at the time on the big screen, the sixtieth minute, there were still thirty minutes left in the game. If he could hold on to this one-goal advantage, he would not only get two net goals, but also a victory, and this second leg would be easier to play.
Who would have thought that Advocaat would then add: "Then resolutely counterattack! The lagging Fiorentina will definitely press up on a large scale, and there will be gaps behind them, make good use of these gaps, and score as many goals as you can!"
He patted Tymoshchuk on the shoulder.
Tymoshchuk was stunned, it was still necessary to attack after all!
He smiled, then nodded: "I understand!" After speaking, he turned and ran back to the field.
The captain plunged into the celebrating circle, and then shouted loudly to his teammates, "The coach said, defend—" He deliberately lengthened his tone and turned his head to look at Chen Hero's face.
Sure enough, Chen Hero's face, which was quite excited just now, immediately stiffened.
"Counterattack! Attack their backs, score as many as you can!" Seeing that Chen Hero believed it, he couldn't bear to continue torturing the child, and directly released the rest of the words.
Chen Hero's face was like the June sky, laughing for a while, annoyed for a while, and now laughing again.
Not only him, but the other teammates were also laughing.
Attack!
For Zenit players, this was the word they liked to hear the most.
