Chapter 49: Breaking the Deadlock

Chapter 49: Breaking the ice
Until the end of the first half, although the two sides played fiercely, they did not score.

On the contrary, the neutral fans watched it with great enthusiasm. After all, the offensive and other things are what fans like to watch the most.

Conte, who walked into the locker room, looked very unhappy. He is now thinking about whether to defend and counterattack to maintain stability, or to attack aggressively.If you defend against the counterattack, you are afraid of being outplayed by Cavani and Hamsik. After all, their knives are indeed sharp. For offense, Juventus does not have any reliable forwards who can score goals. Vucinic After all, the scoring rate is still much lower, and he can't even get the Serie A bronze shoe every season.

Just when he was standing in the player tunnel and looking back at the pitch for the last time, he saw Li Zihan wearing the No. 48 jersey and training with Pogba.Then he laughed.

What's wrong with me?Obviously there is a good striker right under my nose, but I look for strikers all over the world.This guy is a magical guy, from the mysterious East.

Conte, who already had an idea in mind, walked into the player channel with a smile, and now he needs to arrange the tactics for the second half.

Pogba and Li Zihan, who were warming up on the field, received warm cheers from the home fans.

"Hey, Li, look at how popular you are now, it makes me a little jealous." Pogba looked at the fans in the stands who enthusiastically held up the slogan "Super Substitute" and deliberately put on an unhappy look.

Li Zihan smiled faintly. He knew that Pogba was joking: "Come on, Paul, no matter how popular he is, he is still a substitute."

He turned around, turned his back to Pogba and tugged at the player on the shoulder: "See? No. 48." Then he came to Pogba and tugged his shorts.

The frightened Pogba quickly took a few steps back, and he said in fear: "What do you want to do? I have no sexual interest in you."

Li Zihan's face was full of black lines. He knew that black boys in Africa like to play tricks a lot, but he didn't expect that Pogba, who was born in France since he was a child, also has this problem. It really is genetics that can't be faked.

He ignored the prank Pogba, he patted Pogba's thigh and pointed to the shorts and said: "See? No. [-]!! The absolute midfielder. Wait for next season, or next season In the next season, Andrea will gradually half-retreat, after all, he is already in his thirties, and then you can take his place."

Li Zihan actually didn’t know much about Serie A and Juventus before “flying” to Italy, but he knew after living here for several months that Pogba was the favorite of Juventus fans before he appeared. The big Frenchman and the captain of the French U20 youth team will be the core midfielder of the "Old Lady" in the next ten years.

Compared with foreign players, fans prefer and are more likely to accept good seedlings from their own team's youth training.Although Pirlo is a midfield master, the midfield hero of the Italian national team.But he is old, and he is not a standard Juventus man.Although he is very professional, wearing a zebra jersey and always giving his best to help the team on the court, but his heart has never belonged to Turin City, and he still silently does not play Milan City.

These fans can understand that the older the player, the more he likes to recall and yearn for the peak of his career when he was young.This makes them miss the team that gave them everything even more. As the Chinese often say, no matter how far you go, your heart will always be at home.For Pirlo, Milan may be his home.

Pogba curled his lips: "Numbers don't tell everything. Simone Pepe wearing the No. 11 jersey has not been sent to the reserve team. De Qie Li is wearing the No. 19 jersey. I don't know what number is the substitute. Leonardo Wearing the No.[-] jersey is still the main central defender who can't be beaten."

Li Zihan didn't continue to chat nonsense with this guy who is one year older than him in real age and younger in his heart: "Hurry up and warm up, fifteen minutes will pass, if the head coach comes in the second half, I will replace you If you play and then get injured because of insufficient warm-up, you must also go to the reserve team to accompany Simeone."

Pogba nodded: "That's right."

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and when the starters and Conte came out of the player tunnel, Conte called Li Zihan over.

When Li Zihan walked towards Conte, he passed the assistant coach Massimo Carrera who was going to negotiate with the fourth official. Carrera said to him, "Keep working hard after playing!" Continue walking towards the fourth officer.

Li Zihan was a little puzzled, and he didn't understand what Carrera's words meant until he came to Conte.

"Li, listen, you use your speed and aggressive running to attract the attention of the opponent's defenders. When you are sure, you shoot yourself. If you are not sure, you can give it to Arturo and Mirko, do you understand?" Conte lowered his head and whispered in Li Zihan's ear.

Seeing Li Zihan nodding, he continued: "I think after your performance in the past few months, you have been known by the defenders and head coaches of the Serie A teams, and they will make certain targeted settings for you. I guess it's not bad. In other words, they will use a lot of fouls and physical contact to interfere with you, so that you can't take advantage of your speed. At this time, you try to bring the ball to the middle, and it is best to control it in front of the top of the penalty area. The ball is also easy to score, of course, if you have the ability, go to the penalty area and let the opposing defender give us a penalty.

"Of course, before completing these tasks, you must ensure your health. If you are injured or are black-handed by the opponent, you must report to us as soon as possible and don't hold on. Your future is not limited to this game. Yes, I have always reserved a substitution for you, so you must get off the field immediately if you get injured, don't care about the score on the field, understand?"

Conte's last sentence was so serious that Li Zihan could see that Conte cared about him.His heart was greatly moved, he nodded solemnly and said: "I understand!"

Conte smiled: "Okay, get on the field, run, kid!"

At this time, the commentator who had been talking about the statistics of the two sides in the first half also found Conte and Li Zihan on the edge of the court. They were "biting their ears" with their heads down, looking like thieves discussing bad ideas.

"Look, Antonio Conte is talking to our super substitute Li on the sidelines. Both sides have serious expressions, and Li keeps nodding. Is this arranging tactics? Is super substitute Li going to play?" The commentator saw the sign played by the fourth official again.

NO.12, NO.48!

"Whoa. Look, the Super Sub Kid really came on. He replaced Giovinco. Will Lee continue his incredible record of goals coming off the bench? Or will the tenacious Naples break Lee's mysterious streak? Halo, let us wait and see!"

After seeing Lee play, the home crowd of more than 3 Juventus fans did not cheer his name and number.They shouted "Goal! Goal! Goal!"

Other fans in front of the TV who do not understand Italian thought that the name of the oriental who came off the bench was "Gindo" (the homophony of "goal" in Italian is a bit like "Gindo"). After all, the name of the oriental is in They are always so hard to spell.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Zihan took the ball, the opponent's defender immediately pressed him closely, preventing him from sprinting comfortably with the ball.

Kadori was like a piece of brown sugar, when he saw Li Zihan taking the ball, he immediately leaned forward.Using more physical contact to influence Li Zihan, in Cadori's view, such a thin monkey-like body is a tragedy in Serie A.

Li Zihan received Vidal's pass again, and before he could turn around this time, Kadori leaned up behind him.Li Zihan, who couldn't break through, gave the ball to Lisi Steiner who came to meet him from the wing at the first time. Just as he pushed the ball away, Kadori's foot stretched out to destroy the ball. Unfortunately, he was still a step too late. .

Without the ball, Li Zihan immediately turned around and jumped in, and Kadori followed closely behind him.

Lischsteiner broke through from the side, and when he was about to pass the ball to Li Zihan, he saw Kadori behind him and Insine double-teaming in front of him.

He had no choice but to pass the ball to Vidal who was plugging in after him. Vidal did not deceive the opponent's defender Grava with a fake move, so he had to pass the ball across to Marchisio.

Vidal knew in his heart that his dribbling level was average, and Marchisio's dribbling was a level higher than his own.

Juventus's three major midfielders, Vidal is a midfield machine and meat grinder, responsible for intercepting and holding the ball in the midfield, and inserting long-range assists.And Marchisio is an excellent assaulter, good passing and receiving, dribbling and wide vision often disrupt the opponent's defense while passing a deadly goal.Pirlo is more responsible for the task of delaying the playmaker. He does not need to move too much when he is old. He needs to connect the defense and the midfield.

Marchisio didn't even look at Li Zihan after receiving the ball. He understood that the opponent's coach had made targeted tactical arrangements for Li Zihan before the game.He chose to drive the ball himself, just like before.

He took the ball to the side first, giving people a feeling that he was going to break through to the side. Indeed, he did the same, and Pirlo followed up to make up for it.

Marchisio grabbed the position of Giacherini's sideline and dribbled the ball to the bottom, which caught the opponent by surprise.After hitting the bottom, Marchisio looked at Zuniga who blocked him in front of him. The bearded pony had a serious face. He deliberately looked into the penalty area and then dialed the ball. Feel.
