Football: Take away half of Boss Mei's skills at the beginning

After playing against Venice, Parma started to have a smooth journey in the next games.

2-0 win over San Benedetto, 1-0 win over Padova, 2-0 win over Adige Highlands, and successfully entered the next round of the Serie C Cup. Everything seemed to be going well.

But at this time, Dino Rossi was injured.

He strained his thigh muscle and is expected to be absent for a month.

This made Parma very worried.

After all, he is the core of the midfield. Once injured, the impact on the team is very large.

Sure enough, in the next game after his injury, Parma was tied by Pordenone away, ending the league's 11-game winning streak.

In this game, Matteo also had muscle cramps, and Luigi Apolloni had to replace him.

Rossi and Matteo's muscle problems also made Apolloni and Alessandro pay attention.

For this reason, they also held a meeting with the team doctor.

Parma's chief team doctor is Michele Toma, who has also worked in Parma for many years. This time, Alessandro invited him back.

Alessandro couldn't help asking Toma: "Michele, what do you think is the reason for the muscle problems that the two of them have had one after another?"

Toma sighed: "The intensity of the Serie C League is not high, and the schedule is not so dense, which is nothing for ordinary players. But Rossi and Matteo are less than sixteen years old after all, and their bodies are not fully developed, so they are still a little struggling in this kind of confrontation with adults. After continuous battles, their bodies are prone to overload, so their muscle problems are not difficult to understand."

Apolloni couldn't help frowning.

But he could also understand what Toma said.

Fifteen-year-old boys playing in adult team games are indeed worse in confrontation, so they need to use their own muscles to exert force, which puts a greater burden on the body.

And this is also one of the reasons why many young geniuses are prone to premature aging.

Like the most famous example, Rooney.

He played too many games in the early stage of his career, which objectively caused his rapid decline in his thirties.

Alessandro was the most nervous. Compared with the team's performance, he was more worried that his son would be used up.

So he said: "Michel, how do you think we can prevent all this? How to arrange their appearances reasonably?"

Thomas said: "I think it would be better to control the frequency to one game every two weeks or even two weeks and a half. Of course, it depends on the actual situation."

Alessandro couldn't help but glance at Apolloni, but found that he was also looking at him.

Apparently Apolloni was asking for his opinion.

Alessandro knew that he had to make the final decision on such matters, so he said: "Although the results are important, the future of the young players in our team is more important. Let's follow Thomas's advice!"

Fortunately, Cherry has returned soon, and Matteo can finally rest for a while.

In the next game, Parma, without Rossi and Matteo, began to fluctuate in performance.

They only achieved one win, one draw and one loss in the next three games, and their lead in the standings was reduced to one point.

This is already a very dangerous situation for them.

Although the Serie C Group B championship is not valuable, direct promotion is too tempting.

They must get back to their form as soon as possible in the next game!

The time came to December 21, 2016.

In this game, Parma challenged Teramo away.

For them, this game cannot be lost.

Because in a league match earlier, Venice had defeated the opponent and surpassed Parma in the real-time standings.

If Parma cannot win this game, they will lose the top spot!

This is definitely not a good thing for them.

Therefore, before the game, Apolloni told the players that they must win this game at all costs!

But Teramo is also a hard bone. Now they are ranked seventh in the standings and have an amazing home win rate. This time Parma will have to go through a hard battle if they want to win.

Sure enough, after the game started, Teramo took advantage of the home field to attack Parma.

And they broke the deadlock in the fifth minute of the game!

Parma, who was behind in the score, began to press forward frantically, trying to equalize the score as soon as possible.

But their attack seemed to be unsystematic, so they didn't create many opportunities.

Until the end of the first half, they failed to equalize the score.

And during the halftime breakWhen the game was about to start, Apolloni finally couldn't help it.

He called Mateo in the corner: "Get ready for the second half!"

The situation was so serious at this time that it was time to use Mateo.

But this time he didn't replace Cherry, but let Mateo play with him as a double striker.

Anyway, the midfield is in chaos now, so it's better to just pass the ball long and lob!

And his change of formation really worked.

In the 60th minute of the game, Klaus made a breakthrough and passed the ball on the right. Cherry and Mateo in the penalty area were one after the other. Cherry shook at the front point, and the football fell on Mateo's head.

Mateo didn't miss this opportunity, he easily headed the ball into the goal!

Mateo, who equalized the score, did not celebrate, but ran to the center circle with the ball.

He knew that a draw didn't mean much, he wanted three points!

However, in the next game, Parma tried his best, but failed to equalize the score.

At this moment, Scalia was brought down by the opponent in front of the penalty area, and Parma got a free kick in a good position.

Mateo stood in front of the ball without hesitation.

Because in the team training, Mateo is a well-deserved free kick master.

His direct free kick success rate is very high, so he also became the team's first penalty shooter.

In fact, his free kick skills completely inherited Messi's free kick skills.

This is a dimensionality reduction blow for the third division league.

Mateo took a deep breath and stepped back two steps.

The referee's whistle sounded, and he signaled Mateo to take the penalty.

It was already the second minute of injury time, and it can be said that this was almost Parma's last chance.

Mateo ran up, kicked, and shot!

The football drew a beautiful arc, bypassed the wall, and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

At the moment the football kicked out, Mateo felt very good.

His eyes followed the football straight, hoping to see the scene of the football entering the net.

Soon, his wish came true!

The football bypassed the opponent's goalkeeper and hit the net!
