Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 568 You Be the Protagonist
Conte found such a memory from the historical memory of Juventus. Zhang Yuan’s current situation is similar to Ibrahimovic. Zhang Yuan has played in several positions in the frontcourt. Close to the goal, and Conte wants him to be close to the goal.

But he handles the ball better than Ibrahimovic. According to the current level, he is actually more suitable for the second position of the striker. Conte wants Zhang Yuan to be the second striker, but at the same time he wants Zhang Yuan to increase His range of activities, in short, is to be a free man who can move up and down in the frontcourt.

Moving up and down instead of horizontally, the support that Juventus should provide on the wing is essential, otherwise it would be quite tiring to let Zhang Yuan work alone.

"I want you to be the protagonist! Do you understand, the protagonist! The ball is in the frontcourt, I hope you can take over the baton, whether it is passing forward, backward or passing, it is your idea, When the ball is at your feet, our midfield and wingers will run around you! My request is not much, I don't want you to lose the ball easily!"

Possession of the ball, possession of the ball, is something that Conte has repeatedly emphasized. Juventus cannot play the ball possession like Barcelona. This is determined by many factors, but possession of the ball is very important to Juventus, at least in Conte seems to be very important. The ball at his own feet will always cause less damage to himself than at the feet of others.

Zhang Yuan was overjoyed by this arrangement. He originally thought that Conte would wholeheartedly change him and let him integrate into the team's tactics. He never thought that Conte would be willing to fine-tune the existing tactics according to his characteristics. , It should be said that it is not a fine-tuning but a big move in offensive tactics.

"Now you know how hard you should work?!"

"Rationality!" Zhang Yuan asserted.

"That's right! You need the rationality of playing the ball, try to avoid entanglement with the opponent's intensive defense, your main role is to attract! Of course I will not reduce your degree of freedom, you have the right to make your own choices, I think this It is very important to you!" Conte said to Zhang Yuan.

"When the team is off the ball, I need you to participate in the defense. You have to improve your movement without the ball. You did a good job in this aspect last game. Well, I have to praise you! You catch Catch their loopholes! You still have to pay attention to this on the court in the next game!" Conte then explained some of his thoughts and ideas to Zhang Yuan.

He has strict requirements on tactics, and he has not finished talking to Zhang Yuan. When the team is training, he has repeatedly practiced this system. Once the player's movement is not suitable, he will immediately correct it. Even when he is attacking, he always emphasizes that It is a kind of balance, and the balance between offense and defense must not be easily broken.

Zhang Yuan didn't stay under Conte for long, but to be honest, he was convinced by Conte, not because he was cheap, he was often yelled at by Conte, but Conte brought him a lot of useful things, maybe he will meet in the future I have seen many coaches, but this one is really careful about tactics. He builds like a machine, but not all of them. Personally, he is also willing to give players freedom. Pirlo has more freedom than Zhang Yuan. It will be much higher.

However, Pirlo's experience is much richer than that of Zhang Yuan, and he knows exactly how to handle the ball.

In essence, Conte's current model is still that Pirlo is the team's rhythm controller, and Zhang Yuan is only a core of offense.

But this is enough to satisfy Zhang Yuan, isn't it just for this moment that he left Real Madrid.

Moving into a new home, Zhang Yuan’s life has become much more monotonous. He used to be a good man at home, and now he is even more so. He basically rarely goes out, returns home on time, and spends time with his girlfriend. The two of them will watch movies together, study songs, and occasionally Go shopping.

The family did not hire a housekeeper or servant, only hired part-time workers, neither of them wanted outsiders to disturb their lives.

Matri is his best friend. After Zhang Yuan moved to Nu Skin, Matri also changed his residence and moved to Moncalieri, so he often came to play. His girlfriend Federica Nargi, in 2007 Miss Rome, well, Italy is also a famous vase, there are many Italian vases, and these vases like to fall in love with players.

They would often come to Zhang Yuan's house as guests. Anna and Narji became good friends, and Matri would play games with Zhang Yuan and discuss matters within the team.

In Conte's new tactical system, he is hesitant to choose another striker. If Tony is a few years younger, he will definitely match Tony with Zhang Yuan. This is a desirable combination, but Tony is old.

Vucinic is more suitable as a second striker, and of course a center forward is also possible. Only Matri can seriously play the center position. In fact, Quagliarella cannot compete with Matri for this position.

But in the home game against Bologna on September 9, Conte unexpectedly chose Vucinic and Zhang Yuan as partners.

Bologna has been very precarious over the years. They are not unknown in the history of Serie A. They have won 7 Serie A championships, but this history has to be traced back to the 60s. In recent years, with the economic downturn, they have also Frequent replacement of backstage bosses, lack of money caused them to wander between Serie B and Serie A.

Last season, their original boss, Borcheda, was shameless. He had no money to pay the players, but bought real estate from Bologna's account. He issued a warning to the players. He was so angry that he had to transfer the equity to Massimo. Zanetti.

He is neither a hero nor a particularly rich man. The summer transfer market is very lively, but the money spent is not much. Their task in the new season is still to keep relegation, and it is easy to talk about relegation.

The head coach of the team, Malesani, is very famous in Italy. His most glorious moment was leading Parma's youth team to win the UEFA Cup. He has rich coaching experience, but that is also his apex, and he has been in it ever since. Coached in a small club with rich experience.

He has an ability to attack the strong with the weak. If you are careless, you may capsize on him. Before this game, he played a lot of psychological tactics.

"We are not at the same level as Juventus, but things on the pitch are hard to tell!"

"Zhang Yuan?! He is a phenomenal player! I am very happy to come to Serie A. I think this is good for Serie A! We will find the key to restrain him!"

But on the court, he was not as confident as he said. Zhang Yuan caused a headache for Bologna. Malesani had to let his players frequently use foul tactics, just to prevent Zhang Yuan from taking the ball comfortably.

In the 20th minute, Zhang Yuan was once again violated by Bologna and fell to the ground. This time he was hit hard by Mudingai to the waist. The referee gave Juventus a free kick in the frontcourt. Pirlo did not After the whistle blew, a free kick was taken directly. After Vucinic received the ball, he went directly to Bologna, volleyed and easily scored. Juventus took a 1-0 lead at home.

This goal blew up the players of Bologna. It's nothing to him, but the referee was unmoved and insisted that the goal was valid. Kone even got a yellow card for this.

Everything went well. Juventus continued to move forward along the Kangzhuang Avenue. This goal made the Bologna players very angry, so their actions became more aggressive. Juventus did not show weakness here. Everyone moved a little bit.

In the 21st minute, Chiellini made a pressing action while defending Acquafresca. The referee gave Bologna a free kick. Vucinic got nervous for some reason and insisted on talking to the referee. Chat, and earned himself a yellow card.

Bologna obviously learned the lesson of Siena. Malesani arranged for Mudingai to mark Zhang Yuan, but he still couldn’t. Zhang Yuan was too slippery. Teammates created two excellent chances, but unfortunately Vucinic missed one and Krasic fired an anti-aircraft gun.

It was the first time he played such a role, Zhang Yuan was not greedy for merit, and devoted all his energy to passing the ball, but he didn't shoot the goal himself. Maybe if he was a little more selfish, the game would be different.

The turning point came in the 43rd minute of the first half, when Vucinic, who had been playing chicken blood, took the initiative. When sieging Bologna's backcourt, he knocked the opponent's left back Morleo to the ground. The referee gave His second yellow card sent him off the field.

Now the situation is turning around, Juventus is at the bottom in terms of numbers, Bologna can now come out and wrestle with Juventus.
