Chapter 118 Substitute
The next day, because it was a match day and home game, the team did not arrange any training. In fact, from players to coaches, there was no need for this, because the opponent's strength was indeed average. As a team aiming to win the championship in the new season, if they face a weak team in Serie B, they would be facing a big enemy, would Milan still have the face?
So not only did not arrange the training this morning, but also the afternoon. The players only need to arrive at Milanello two hours before the game. This warm-up match is held at the base.
Although it was the first warm-up match of the new season, Milan didn't think that Valez was worthy of being placed in San Siro.
Of course, in addition to the strength of the opponent, another reason is that AC Milan wants to pay benefits to some residents near Milanello; because if this game is held in San Siro, they have to pay the tickets if they want to watch the game, and they can watch it for free in Milanello. This is also a thanks to the residents around Milanello for their continued support.
The so-called football background is usually trivial matters about sesame and mung beans.
Zheng Yi came to Milanello at 2 pm. The competition was held at 5 pm. According to regulations, Zheng Yi just needs to arrive at the base before 3 pm, but why did he have to be one hour ahead of time?
Are you pretending to be active? Want to have a good relationship with the fans before the game?
Don't make trouble! Zheng Yi is not that kind of person.
As a man who is determined to lead AC Milan to dominate Europe, he does not need such a tactic of flattery at all.
The reason why Zheng Yi came to the base an hour in advance was mainly to get familiar with the venue. He had only been to Milanello for a week. To put it bluntly, the grass in the base has not been fully covered, and the word "familiarity" has nothing to do with him.
Therefore, other players of AC Milan team don’t come early, but Zheng Yi must.
Another important reason that prompted Zheng Yi to come early was that he didn't want to make a mistake. From last night to this morning, Zheng Yi played a total of 16 games in the system.
The result of the game is like the distance between the two teams in the league. AC Milan is a Serie A championship team, Varez is a newly promoted Serie B. The two teams are not on the same level at all. Sixteen games ended with AC Milan's complete victory.
Zheng Yi performed well in these 16 games, with one of the 7-0 wins, and scored a beautiful goal.
With the remaining fifteen games, Zheng Yi scored goals and assists almost every game. In the system, Milan's opponent Varez had almost no room for counterattack, and was an absolute bareback.
However, it is precisely because of this that Zheng Yi is afraid of losing his car. Just like what Zheng Yi met himself last night, once he has the opportunity to appear, it will be a chance for him to prove himself.
You should know that you are surrounded by strong men who are "like wolves and tigers", the objects of saliva by Asian teams, and the lovely people who wield money to raise prices for each other.
Zheng Yi did not intend to be a "new recruit" who was coldly opposed after the start of the Serie A. He wanted to be the master of San Siro, not a passerby.
So you must not fail!…
...
With this idea, Zheng Yi came to Milanello in advance and arrived at the competition venue.
When he stepped on the green grass, Zheng Yi found that he was not alone.
On the penalty area line about 30 meters away from the sideline, Ibrahimovic, with a little chirping on his head, is practicing shooting.
"Hello! Mr. Zlatan!" Zheng Yi shouted loudly.
Hearing the shouts, Ibrahimovic looked back and found that it was Zheng Yi who was stunned for a moment, and seemed a little surprised, but he ignored Zheng Yi and turned around and continued to compete with the ball under his feet.
Zheng Yi looked helpless with his lips, but he didn't care. It was not easy for a man who could equate with arrogance to conquer him.
But when you come, you can't ignore it. You still have to chat with me - aren't you Ibrahimovic cold? I have some ways to make you open your mouth.
Zheng Yi walked slowly to Ibrahimovic, and Ibrahimovic shot a ball out.
"Good ball! Beautiful shot!"
Faced with Zheng Yi's praise, Ibrahimovic just turned his head and looked cold, but still ignored Zheng Yi.
Zheng Yi knew that Ibrahimovic would have such a reaction, so he did not continue the topic, but took out a ball from the ball frame and started to slam it with his instep.
"Mr. Zlatan is also preparing for the afternoon game? I heard that the warm-up match is open to the public. Any Milan fans can come. I think it won't take long to fill this place with Milan fans, and the media should come too."
With Zheng Yi on the side, he was like a chat between old friends and told him about this afternoon's game.
If it is just a general chat, there is no other meaning in this passage, but it will be different for Ibrahimovic.
From the late 1990s to the present, Ibrahimovic's career has reached its 11th year. In the past 11 years, Ibrahimovic has played against countless European giants and played for many European strong teams. It can be said that he is used to the wind and frost. What kind of wind and waves have never been seen?
However, Zheng Yi's words were full of suspicion of him, whether it was strength or psychological state.
So when Zheng Yi just said the first sentence, Ibrahimovic stopped and listened with his ears. When Zheng Yi finished speaking, Ibrahimovic supported his hands on his waist, with a smile on his thin face, and his face looked very bad and would burst out at any time.
However, Zheng Yi is not a person who can "observe his expression". He seemed to have not noticed Ibrahimovic's expression at all and smiled: "Am I said wrong? But..."
Before Ibrahimovic could speak, Zheng Yi paused meaningfully and continued: "Mr. Zlatan will definitely be the most dazzling player in the warm-up game! None of them!"
After saying that, Zheng Yi turned around and ran to the side, and began to dribble and get familiar with the field.
Ibrahimovic, who was still there, was stunned for a moment, and then his deep and confused eyes were locked tightly on Zheng Yi - is this kid playing tricks on me? He thought he knew me very well, which was really unhappy! But... he didn't seem to be afraid of me... Ha! Of course I would be the best player in Milan! Otherwise, it would be you?
...
Zheng Yi, who was running away from the other side, breathed a sigh of relief - this was his first time provoking a martial arts master, but fortunately he was scared, otherwise he would know what the whip legs of Taekwondo black belt felt like.
Of course, Zheng Yi is not completely frightened, because in the system Ibrahimovic is indeed the one who performs the best in the Milan team, and Zheng Yi is second only to Ibrahimovic...
...
At 3 pm, the entire Milan team arrived in the locker room, and head coach Allegri also arrived on time.
When entering the locker room, the first thing Allegri did was to announce the starting list of the warm-up match. Unfortunately, Zheng Yi was not among them and he was placed on the substitute list.
Allegri chose the starting lineup that was closest to the usual use of last season, with only three adjustments. The forward position replaced Ronaldinho with Ibrahimovic, the front midfielder replaced new player Kevin Prince Boateng, and the right forward replaced Robinho...
...
If I suddenly broke the update one day, there was no other reason, my hand was broken (tenosynovitis)...
