Chapter 086 Accidental Injury
Zhang Yang pushed the shooting machine to the side, and then poured a bag of football on the ground and put it into the machine's shooting basket. He is practicing shooting. Tomorrow's game with Rome is the most powerful opponent Zhang Yang has faced in the league since he came to AC Milan. He can't wait for this game.
He is so eager to experience the feeling of scoring a goal. The bigger the scene, the more excited the young man is.
Zhang Yang took a step back, the ejection machine shot out the ball, and Zhang Yang raised his right foot. He pumped on the football, but he did not kick the right part. The ball deflected out of the right post and flew out of the bottom line.
Zhang Yang frowned dissatisfiedly. Today's training felt much worse.
At this time, all the teammates left. There was only Zhang Yang on the empty training ground. At the beginning, when he was in the Marseille team, there were two kids, Yashioi and Luis, who practiced with Zhang Yang. Now at the Milanello training base, when he practices every day, there is only Zhang Yang alone.
Thinking of the two guys, Yahioi and Luis, a smile appeared on his face. He also often pays attention to the Ligue 1 and the Marseille team. Marseille's performance this season is still good. Of course, without publicity, the team's attack ability has decreased a lot. However, the head coach Fernandez adjusted the defense line in the summer, and the team's defense line has improved a lot. Now Although the number of goals has decreased compared with last season, the number of goals lost is also a little less. Now it ranks second in the league, five points less than the leader Lyon. It is not bad and has not fallen behind. After leaving the three main forces of Zhang Yang, Ribery and Nasri, it is quite good to have such a performance. Now, Louis is the absolute main force of the team's defense, the starting central defender, and Jahioi has also become the core of Marseille's midfield.
Zhang Yang lifted his jersey and wiped his sweat. The ejection machine shot the ball again. Zhang Yang ran and waved his right foot to pull out the football. The football crossed an arc and almost flew out on the edge of the column...
The quality of this shot was not bad. Zhang Yang also nodded. He began to pick up the football one by one. At this time, he looked up and was about to pick up the ball he had just kicked farthest, and saw someone coming over with the football in his arms.
Seeing who was coming, Zhang Yang was a little surprised.
"At this time, shouldn't you follow Ronnie?" Zhang Yang said to Pato with a smile. These days, Pato has followed Ronaldo like a little follower. Ronaldo is also very 'competent' and has experienced the charm of the metropolis of Milan with this new brother.
"Ah, I just heard a sound here, so I came to have a look." Pato said awkwardly, "I didn't bother you."
Zhang Yang shook his head, looked at Pato, who was a little embarrassed, and asked with a smile, "To be honest, did Ronnie take you to be chic?"
"Of course not." Pato quickly denied it.
"Really?" Zhang Yang smiled.
"Really--"
"Tear the truth."
"Just once or twice." Pato whispered.
"Ah ha ha ha." Looking at Pato's blushing face, Zhang Yang smiled and had a stomachache. He just cheated Pato just now, but he didn't expect that this boy was really cheated out.
Realizing that he was fooled, Pato was even more embarrassed.
"Ronnie is really bad. He has ruined you." Zhang Yang said with a smile.
"No, I'm going to follow Ronnie." Pato quickly defended Ronaldo.
"Would you like to come together?" Zhang Yang threw the football to Pato.
"Ah?"
"Alexander, although it's your business to be unrestrained and have fun after the game, don't forget that we are football players. Only when we have a good performance on the court can we be qualified and have money. If we want to have a good performance, we can't work hard." Zhang Yang said with a serious face.
Looking at Zhang Yang's serious face, Pato was a little frightened. At the same time, I'm really ashamed. Zhang Yang's current fame and strength are much bigger than his, and he often practices. Isn't he too indulgent? Although Zhang Yang is only a few years older than him, Pato doesn't think there is anything wrong with Zhang Yang to say this. With Zhang Yang's current strength and position in the team, he is qualified to say these words. More importantly, Zhang Yang is now practicing, which is to set an example.
Zhang Yang is happy at this time. This feeling of putting up airs and training people is really not bad.
"You take the ball to the penalty area, pass the ball to me, I'll shoot, and then I'll pass the ball to you. You finish the shot, don't pass the ball to the ground. It can be a little difficult." Zhang Yang said.
"Well, okay." Pato nodded hard.
Two people came out of the second building of Milanello, Ancelotti and Tasotti. They were just studying the tactical details of tomorrow's match with Rome and just got off work.
Listening to the sound from the other side of the training ground, the two looked over.
Zhang Yang often practices. They know that Ancelotti also has a deep understanding of Zhang Yang's efforts, and has a better impression on this young man. However, it seems that there is more than one person to hear the voice today.
"It's Alexander." Tasoti said that he could hear Pato's voice, and the 18-year-old boy's voice was not small.
"Let's go and have a look."
I don't know if it was because he saw the head coach Ancelotti and assistant coach Tasotti coming, which made Pato a little nervous, or for some reason. The ball he passed to Zhang Yang was very strange. Zhang Yang had already judged the landing point and was ready to shoot, but he didn't expect the ball to suddenly rotate a little, and Zhang Yang immediately adjusted again. Step by step, stretch your legs and shoot at the same time.
The ball was kicked away by him and flew high out of the crossbar.
"Ha, Zhang, this ball has lost its level." Pato said.
On this side, Tasotti had already seen that something was wrong. After completing the shot, he jumped twice with one leg, then frowned and sat on the ground.
Something happened!
Tassoti and Ancelotti were shocked and ran over. At this time, Pato also saw something wrong and ran over in panic.
"What's the matter?" Tassoti asked.
"I've got a kick." Zhang Yang grinned and looked at the place where he had just shot. Pato also followed his line of sight and walked over to look. The turf was uneven and there was a small depression. There seemed to be nothing wrong. However, Zhang Yang was just there to shoot with his foot and sleed his foot.
Zhang Yang is also quite depressed. It's too unlucky.
Milanello has a team doctor on duty, because the youth team will also have some young men to practice, so the team doctor will usually be on duty until 8 p.m., just to prevent accidental injuries.
The team doctor on duty today was Andris. He received a phone call from Tasoti and rushed to conduct a preliminary examination for Zhang Yang.
"How's it going?" Ancelotti asked worriedly. The team's performance and status after the beginning of the season are quite good. Zhang Yang has made great contributions. Now he is paying more and more attention to Zhang Yang's role in the team.
Knowing from Andres that Zhang Yang needed to rest for a week, Ancelotti was a little relieved. Although I couldn't catch up with the match with Rome, it was okay. It was only a week.
In addition, what makes Ancelotti feel a little relieved is that Inzaghi has recovered from his injury, and Ronaldo has been in good shape recently. Now there are still people available on the front line. If it had been placed a month ago, when the team only had a shooter, it was estimated that Ancelotti would jump up and down in a hurry.
Pato's face turned pale on the side. He felt a little guilty and thought that he had passed the ball well just now, which injured Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang saw Pato's nervousness and said with a smile, "It's not your problem, it's my own problem. In that case, I'm too reluctant to shoot."
Zhang Yang naturally will not blame Pato and comforted the Brazilian boy. However, although he said so, Zhang Yang was still quite depressed. He was unwilling to miss a game. Besides, the injury today was really unexpected.
Although Zhang Yang's injury was very unexpected, it did not make Ancelotti worry too much. Such an injury is only a small problem, and he is lucky. Many stars were more seriously injured in training than this. Inzaghi was injured in training and was absent for several months. As a lesson, Zhang Yang only needs a week's rest, and Ancelotti has been very happy.
As for tomorrow's match with Rome, Ancelotti is still confident. Although Zhang Yang was injured and absent, Ronaldo and Inzaghi are in good shape. AC Milan's goal should not be a problem now.
However, even Ancelotti did not want to play against Roma the next day. AC Milan suffered their first defeat on all fronts since this season.
They lost 1-0 to Rome at home at San Siro Stadium.
In the first half of the game, Aquilani assisted Totti to score a wonderful goal, helping Roma lead AC Milan 1-0, which was the only goal in the game.
At the post-match press conference, even Roma head coach Spaletti said that Roma had good luck in this game and made a fantastic start in more than ten minutes. Spalletti even joked that Zhang Yang's bizarre injury seemed to be God's patronage for Rome. He admitted that he was still having a headache about how to prevent Zhang Yang before the game. When he learned that Zhang Yang was injured and missed the game this morning, the feeling of happiness came too suddenly.
The team lost, which made Zhang Yang in a bad mood, and what made him more depressed was that in the match between Inter Milan and Palermo, Ibrahimovic scored, and he helped Inter Milan draw one-to-one with Palermo.
Now, the Swedes have one more goal than Zhang Yang on the scorer list.
After the match between Inter Milan and Palermo, Ibrahimovic looked very proud in an interview with the media, "I have one more goal than Zhang Yang?" Only one ball? I should have scored more goals today, but I can't control it myself.
Your sister! After hearing Ibrahimovic's words, Zhang Yang cursed. He gritted his teeth and must score a goal in the next round and kick the Swedes down.
The next week is a weekly double match.
Three days later, AC Milan beat Sampdoria -5 to 0 away. Kakambe scored twice. Ronaldo and Gulkuv each scored one goal. Zhang Yang came on as a substitute for Inzaghi in the 71st minute of the game. He scored a goal in the 83rd minute. He raised his number of goals in the league to twelve.
However, after the game, Zhang Yang learned from assistant coach Tasotti that Inter Milan beat Genoa quad and Ibrahimovic scored a goal. Now, there is still one more Swede than him on the scorer list.
The reporter interviewed Zhang Yang the next day and asked him what he thought of the position on the shooter list.
Zhang Yang, "Yes, I'm the second place. After the weekend's game, this ranking will change. Believe it or not."
"I believe it." The reporter nodded.
Then, it was this reporter who found Ibrahimovic and said, 'Ibra, Zhang Yang said...'
Ibrahimovic smiled proudly and let it go!
Three days later, in the eleventh round of Serie A, AC Milan beat Turin 2-1 at home, Zhang Yang set the first record for AC Milan. In the focus battle between Inter Milan and Juventus, Inter Milan away to one-one Juventus, Trezeguet scored for Juventus, and Cruz scored for Inter Milan.
Zhang Yang scored a goal, but Ibrahimovic did not score a goal. Now both of them share the glory of the first place in the scorer list again with 13 goals. This is obviously a situation that neither side likes very much. Therefore, after the game, Zhang Yang directly talked about the issue of the shooter list in an interview with reporters, and everything was hands-free. Another party, Ibrahimovic, simply refused all interviews.
Boo are proud guys.
