Chapter 021 Milan debut
~.-~ "Zhang!"
Zhang Yang had been impatient for a long time, and hearing Ancelotti call his name, it was like a natural sound.
"Coach." Zhang Yang stood up.
"Go and warm up."
Just one sentence aroused Zhang Yang's fighting spirit. He nodded and came to the sidelines to start running back.
Zhang Yang on the bench was the focus, so he stood up to warm up and immediately attracted attention. The director gave the camera to the sidelines. The commentators also noticed the situation here.
"I'm warming up and warming up. It seems that Ancelotti is going to send Zhang. AC Milan is not attacking well now. Girardino has been lost in Bayern Munich's tall double-team, and it's time to send Zhang. I believe everyone is looking forward to seeing this guy's debut performance in Milan."
"Zhang Yang, the most valuable player this summer so far, the highest annual salary player in the world that year, if he plays, this will be his first game wearing an AC Milan jersey..."
Just as the fans' attention was attracted by the cheerful warm-up on the sidelines, the situation on the court was changing.
In the 66th minute, Schweinsteiger intercepted the ball from Gurkuf's feet and launched a fast counterattack. Ze Roberto quickly dribbled the ball along the side, facing Favali's interception, a spike, and the veteran Milan made a move and accelerated and wiped it directly. Then he passed the penalty area diagonally, Luca Tony headed the ball. Almost at the same time, Kloze moved like a rabbit, quickly stepped forward, and a beautiful counter-offside, entered the penalty area, and paddled the football with his chest, then volleyed directly. Dida fell to the ground to save it. Although he touched the ball, he still couldn't stop the football from entering the net.
After scoring the goal, Klose was very excited. After running for a while, he ran for three consecutive somersaults, which shows how excited he was. This is Klose's first official goal after joining Bayern Munich.
Ancelotti watched Bayern Munich celebrate the goal. His face was gloomy and the team's offense was not smooth. He was about to make adjustments, but Bayern Munich seized the opportunity to score another goal.
Looking at the scoreboard of Bayern Munich with 2-0 AC Milan, Ancelotti was naturally unhappy. The Ross and Blacks were the European champions of last season, so the champion naturally had the pride of the championship. Losing to Juventus in the first game of the warm-up match can be explained as an accident. However, if he loses to Bayern Munich again in this game and suffers two consecutive losses in the warm-up match, Ancelotti will also face considerable pressure.
Ancelotti called Zhang Yang, who was still warming up, to her side.
"You can see the situation now, too." Ancelotti pointed to the field.
The translator relays Ancelotti's words to Zhang Yang. This translation is actually Gurkuf's translation. Because Zhang Yang knows French, he only works part-time to help Zhang Yang translate. However, this is not a long-term solution after all. The AC Milan Club is already helping Zhang Yang practice Italian teacher and translator.
Zhang Yang nodded, "We need to score."
"That's right." Ancelotti clapped his hands, "I saw Bayern Munich's left side." He continued without waiting for Zhang Yang to speak, "Ram is a full-back who likes assists very much. After he assists, there is a lot of room behind him. After you come on the court, you stay in front and don't have to go back to defend. Your job is to find opportunities to score goals. Do you understand?"
Zhang Yang and the translator Jiligua translated the coach's words, thought for a while, nodded, and asked again, "My position is not fixed?"
"Yes, the entire frontcourt is your territory." Ancelotti nodded.
"That's fine."
"very good."
Seeing that Zhang Yang had taken off his vest and stood on the sidelines, and Ancelotti was also giving him face-to-face advice, the commentator on the scene had already begun to incite the atmosphere on the court.
"Zhang Yang, this 21-year-old guy spent 43 million euros in AC Milan, last season's Ligue 1 Golden Boot, Champions League top scorer, and the young man who tied the goal record of Altafini."
Speaking of this, the live commentator paused for a moment, and after the applause in the stands sounded, he continued to shout with satisfaction, "Let us welcome this talented young man with applause."
This game is Bayern Munich against AC Milan, so many Russian fans at the scene are not necessarily fans of one of the two teams, they should be said to be watching the stars. Zhang Yang, who was famous in European football last season, was obviously the focus of fans' attention. Not to mention anything else, let alone what records Zhang Yang tied and what records he created. He joined AC Milan at the age of 21 for 43 million euros. This is enough to arouse the interest of these neutral fans.
The applause was very warm.
Money is not omnipotent, but there is one thing you must admit that money is the most directly measuring a person's value. His flamboyant value is enough to make him the most attention on this court.
In fact, among the Bayern Munich players and AC Milan players on the court, there are almost no players who are more valuable than Zhang Yang. Kaka, the only AC Milan team who is more valuable than Zhang Yang, is still recovering from injury in Brazil.
Just by his value, he is the number one person on the field. Of course, his value does not mean everything, and he will eventually have to speak based on his strength.
Seeing Zhang Yang appear on the court, Bayern Munich coach Heathfield did not make any adjustments immediately. His team did not play against Marseille last season, so he was not familiar with Zhang Yang. Of course, it is impossible to say that he has no understanding of this hot star at all. However, he cannot make rash adjustments to the team based on his appearance, so Heathfield decided to wait and see for a while before talking.
Heathfield did not make any adjustments, but Lucio wanted to try the weight of this young Mr. 43 million. Lucio is a proud guy. He has long been a little unhappy about Zhang Yang's handsome boy being brag about by the media. Is it very powerful? That's because I didn't meet me, Lucio! Of course, this Brazilian national team central defender still has the capital to be proud.
As soon as Zhang Yang came on the court, Lucio took advantage of Zhang Yang's failure to adapt to the rhythm of the field and gave Zhang Yang a warning. This was Zhang Yang's over-top ball from Pirlo. After he stopped the ball in his chest, he was about to turn around and drive the ball forward. He felt like he had hit a block and the football under his feet was also broken.
"Lucio, beautifully steal the ball! He taught Zhang Yang a lesson." The German commentator shouted.
"Zhang Gang just came on the court and was not ready yet. We should have confidence in him." Milan's commentator made excuses for Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang didn't want to make any excuses. He saw the wall in front of him move away and dribbled the ball forward. Lucio is a central defender who likes to assist. His favorite thing is to intercept the ball from the opponent's forward and then dribble the ball all the way to the frontcourt to participate in the attack. He thinks this is the coolest moment for the defender. Of course, he is cool, and the forward who was intercepted by him becomes the background of tragedy.
It’s a pity that Zhang Yang is willing to be the background!
Lucio had just taken a few steps and felt someone coming from behind. Before he could react, he saw one leg stretching over and a tackle, and shoveling the football out of the sideline. Then, the Brazilian central defender looked up and saw Zhang Yang's sneering face.
I'm not a cool background for you!
"Beautiful counter-robbery. Zhang Yang immediately hit back at Lucio, and his tackle ended a counter-attack opportunity from Bayern Munich."
"Lucio still can't change his old habits." Heathfield on the sidelines looked unhappy. After Lucio intercepted the ball just now, he only needed one pass to Ram on the sideline. Ram was fast and Bayern Munich could launch a quick counterattack. Unfortunately, this guy's old habits have been made again and always wants to be a hero. Heathfield knows Lucio's fault. This is the main player who always fantasizes about being the main player on the front line who passes five levels and six players. In fact, his job is a central defender. This is very inconsistent, but in fact, that's it.
Lucio was a little surprised by Zhang Yang's quick pursuit and preventing his dribbling counterattack. He didn't expect Zhang Yang to chase back so quickly, but he didn't take it too seriously and attributed this to his carelessness.
However, just three minutes later, the central defender who always fantasizes about changing jobs became a tragedy.
After Zhang Yang came on the court, AC Milan's offense seemed to have not improved yet. However, Pirlo had received an order from Ancelotti to 'pass the ball to Zhang Yang'. The team's work in the midfield and frontcourt is now passing the ball to Zhang Yang, allowing this new teammate to find opportunities for shooting and scoring.
Ancelotti knew that Zhang Yang and the whole team were not tacit enough to cooperate. Tacit understanding requires time to accumulate, so it is not realistic to expect Zhang Yang and other players to play exquisite multi-foot communication and cooperation before, so Ancelotti chose to simplify the complex and make full use of Zhang Yang's speed and sense of grabbing points. Without so much cooperation, he went straight to the topic.
This time, Pirlo dribbled the ball in the midfield. Schweinsteiger came up to intercept. Pirlo passed the ball to Gurkuf. The latter seemed a little nervous in the face of Van Bomel's oppression. The football was stabbed by Van Bomel and was stabbed open. It was about to be interrupted. Gattuso showed his true nature as a desperate Saburo. He rushed up and slipped the ball to the ground and shoveled it away. He also collided with Van Bomel and Gurkuf. The three of them were all over the place.
However, the game was not interrupted.
The ball was picked up by Pirlo, who came up to receive it. When Milan's brain got the ball, he had a passing route in his mind. He didn't even look at the frontcourt, but he directly flipped his right foot and passed the ball out.
This ball was passed to Zhang Yang!
Then everyone saw Zhang Yang rushing towards the landing point of the football, but Lucio also came out of the penalty area. The Brazilian central defender was closer to football than Zhang Yang. It seemed that football was going to be obtained by Lucio. Milan's attack ended here, followed by Bayern Munich's counterattack.
Lucio obviously also thought that football belonged to him. After he took two steps to judge the landing point of the football, the Brazilian central defender raised his right foot and prepared to stop the ball.
Everyone can think of what will happen next. After stopping the ball, this central defender with an extremely strong offense will take him to the frontcourt.
"Football is about to be obtained by Lucio, Pirlo's pass is a bit too close to the penalty area." While the commentator was still talking, he suddenly widened his eyes, "That's--Zhang!--"
Lucio planned to stop the ball, and this choice was not wrong, but he underestimated Zhang Yang's explosive power. Just as Lucio just raised his right foot and was about to stop the ball, he looked up at the air and the football disappeared!
He saw a face, a murderous face!
Zhang Yang also saw that Lucio was about to stop the ball. He did not slow down at all, and his speed accelerated again. He kicked his right leg hard. Just this kick, his body jumped, and at the same time, he used his head to push the falling ball forward, and the wind was emitting from his feet, and it was misaligned with Lucio and passed!
Zhang Yang's speed, especially his final acceleration, surprised the audience, too fast! It was just a moment ago. Seeing Lucio getting closer to football, he didn't expect that Zhang Yang would come to the front in an instant and successfully break in!
"Amazing explosive power! Zhang Yang turned an opportunity that was not an opportunity into an opportunity!" the commentator shouted.
At this time, Kahn realized that something was wrong and immediately attacked.
Zhang Yang faced Kahn directly!
In fact, Kahn is considered the best goalkeeper to save single shots. This old goalkeeper seems to have a murderous aura. Coupled with his vicious look and the Lion King-like roar, it is enough to make many shooters frightened, so when shooting, he has too many concerns, not decisive enough, or thinking too much, and pursuing angles too much, and failing to make his efforts.
"Lucio is too careless - but we still have the captain." Bayern Munich commentator Dasheng shouted, they placed their hope on Kahn, and this repaid hope for Kahn.
The one-on-one between the forward and the goalkeeper is always the most exciting thing!
Can Kahn save Zhang Yang's ball?
Is Zhang Yang going to score his first goal in Milan?
Ancelotti on the sidelines stood up.
The Chinese journalists and Milan fans in the stands held their breath at that moment and were ready to cheer for the goal.
When Zhang Yang saw Kahn attacking, he also saw the ferocious face of the Lion King.
The Lion King's roar had not yet been released, but his face changed because, when he saw Zhang Yang not stopping the ball, he swung his right foot towards the falling ball, and tucked it with his toes.
Hanging door?!
The Lion King, who was attacking, stopped halfway, leaned back, and tried his best to grab the ball with both hands, trying to grab the ball! But he only saw an arc passing through the air and flying behind him.
Just as Kahn turned his head and looked at the empty goal, Zhang Yang had already turned around and ran towards the midfield.
The football fell, fell into the net, and the Lion King also fell back and fell back.
Zhang Yang laughed loudly, pointed forward, pointed at Pirlo who was passing the ball to him, and then the two hugged each other.
Milan's pass and Zhang Yang's virgin goal made the goal more memorable. Of course, the face of the dark-faced Brazilian central defender also appeared in the camera. What a big guy background.
ps: I got home very late and kept typing. Now I just finished typing. I have to get up early today to go out. Today I have to take the exam. If I pass the exam, everything will be fine. I don’t need to go out to practice driving as a whole. I can code with peace of mind. Everyone, I wish Pig Head.
