Chapter 4 Assist
After a dead ball appeared on the field, the fourth official held up the electronic card for substitutions on the sidelines. Vicenza was about to replace two people in a row. Minesso and Wang Zi replaced Calabria and Giacomotuli, who started the game, respectively. Two counter-substitutions, Vicenza still maintained a 4-3-3 formation.

"Little guys, come on!"

The two replaced big brothers encouraged the two young men who were about to play.

As the two teenagers entered the field, the fans of Vicenza also gave warm applause, especially some female fans. They were all a little over excited when they saw Wang Zi. It was the first time they saw such a young and handsome player in their team. They kept their eyes on Wang Zi in the audience.

Forget about a group of sister-level fans, even a group of aunt-level and grandma-level female fans are quite excited to watch, and they don't care at all that Wang Zi is only 16 years old.

The commentator of the Italian TV station said with a little excitement: "Today, at Vicenza's home stadium, at the Romeo Metti Stadium, 16-year-old Wang Zi is about to complete his first-team debut on behalf of Vicenza. This also created the record for the youngest player to play in the Italian Serie B this season. At the same time, this is also the second youngest player's debut record for the Vicenza club."

After a pause, the commentator raised his voice and said again: "As for the holder of the youngest appearance record in the history of the Vicenza club, he is Roberto Baggio! In 1982, 15-year-old Roberto Baggio was promoted to Vicenza's first team and officially started his career. Since then, he has maintained the club's youngest player appearance record."

Calabria, who was substituted, returned to the bench and saw David Gavazzi sitting aside. His expression was not good. According to the previous arrangement, he should be the substitute at this time. Calabria shook his head, and then patted the latter on the shoulder. Regarding the coach's arrangement, Calabria did not intend to say anything more.After all, on the court, the head coach Ma Lan treats all players the same. As long as you have the strength, as long as you are in a hot state, then you are the main force.

For forwards like them, the biggest factor that can impress Malan is scoring goals. Unfortunately, up to now, including Calabria himself, there is no real main force that can be said to be the absolute main force of the team.On the team's forward line, only Abruscato can sit firmly as the main force, because that is the position he has exchanged for one goal after another.

After playing, Wang Zi didn't have too many opportunities to touch the ball. The team's offensive focus was not on his side for the time being, and the few touches were immediately handed over to Soligo in the midfield to organize the offense.

After Mineso was intercepted one after another, the frowning Malan couldn't sit still any longer. He got up from the coach's bench and came to the sidelines, gesticulating with both hands, signaling the team to change their attack strategy.

The change in offensive strategy brought Vicenza's offensive pressure to Wang Zi's side all of a sudden, and the opponent's defenders frequently stepped forward to limit Wang Zi with physical strength. In this case, even with the strengthening of the panacea, Wang Zi was not at a disadvantage in several confrontations, but the older opponent still had a certain advantage in the confrontation.

In another confrontation, Wang Zi, who was receiving the ball from behind, was pushed from behind by Padua defender Trevisan, and there was a burst of boos at the scene, boos to Trevisan.

This is our home court, and Trevisan has already fouled first, the thoughts of the male Vicenza fans at the scene.

Trevisan fouled, he actually fouled Wang Zi, we have to boo him, and this is what more female fans think.

In any case, Trevisan did commit a foul, and the referee blew his whistle immediately, signaling Vicenza to get a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt.

Trevisan did not argue with the referee, but backed up and prepared to defend. After more than 70 minutes on the field, Trevisan, whose physical fitness was declining rapidly, did not dare to easily let an opponent who had just played not long ago break through from his side.
After Wang Zi was pulled up from the ground by his teammates, he patted his clothes in fear, told his teammates that he was fine, and then quickly threw himself into the next game.

A set kick at a position about 40 meters from the right side of the court, Edo Adobraiati, who was in charge of taking the penalty, did not choose to hit the goal directly, but chose to pass the ball directly.Braiati slid the ball diagonally to defender Luca Di Matteo, who came up from the right. Di Matteo took a big step quickly before distributing the ball to Wang Zi on the side under the interference of the opposing player.

Wang Zi stopped the ball cleanly, and then dribbled towards the bottom line of Padova. If he can go all the way to the bottom line and then make a cross or pass back in an inverted triangle, then his teammates rushing towards the penalty area at the same time will have a wonderful chance to score. Abruscato, who is 181cm tall, has a strong header ability.

Padua didn't want to let Wang Zi go just like this. Trevisan had already made preparations to steal in front of Wang Zi. He believed that he had absolute strength to deal with this young boy who was rushing towards him.

As long as Wang Zi's shot is destroyed, Trevisan can win this confrontation.

Without giving Trevisand any time to think, Wang Zi had already come in front of him, staring at the ball at Wang Zi's feet, and the Padova defender was ready to reach out to intercept it at any time.

Wang Zi raised his right foot and was about to kick a cross directly. Trevisan secretly relaxed in his heart, as if everything was as he thought.

"That's all you can do? Sure enough, you're still a fledgling kid!"

Trevisan stretched out his foot in the direction Wang Zi was about to step out to intercept, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Just, the next moment.

Wang Zi gently pulled the ball to his side with his right foot, and then swiped it towards Trevisan's crotch. Trevisan, who had already stretched out his foot to intercept, felt as if struck by lightning.

Wear crotch!

Wang Zi passed the ball sideways!

With his legs wide open, Trevisan turned his head with difficulty.

He never intended to pass the ball from the start!

Wang Zi's breakthrough made it impossible for Trevisan, who had lost his mind, to catch up. Under such circumstances, Padua's central defender Renzetti had to come up to make up for it. Under this series of chain reactions, Abruscato in the penalty area and Soligo who was plugging in were more calm.

Wang Zi made an inverted triangle pass back in front of the baseline on the right side of Padua. Abruscato, who was ambushing in front of the penalty area, had been waiting for Wang Zi's return pass for a long time. With just the right kick, Abruscato hit the goal without stopping the ball without any pressure.

When the ball flew into the net, the Romeo Metti Stadium burst into applause, and the home fans erupted in celebration. Abruscato's shot helped Vicenza take the lead again, and the score became 2:1.

After scoring the goal, Abruscato pointed at Wang Zi while running towards him. Under the watchful eyes of thousands of fans at home, Abruscato picked Wang Zi up high, and Wang Zi, who was picked up, raised his fists and waved excitedly towards the fans.

The head coach Ma Lan on the sidelines also excitedly embraced the assistant coach beside him to celebrate. This goal in more than 80 minutes made him feel confident that victory was just around the corner.

"This kid is so calm!"

"But he's only 16 years old!"
