The Ball at Your Feet

: Chapter 23: A Wonderful Beginning

On the day of the friendly match, when Lyon had arrived in Ajaccio, Zhao Yaning received his jersey.

His first jersey number was 17-this number was a substitute number, even the substitute goalkeeper was the 16th, but he only got the 17th.

And what is printed on his back is ZHAO, not his full name. This made Zhao Yaning embarrassed for a while. Players in China are printed with their full names. This practice of printing only one surname seems to be a bit awkward.

But think about it, there are no other Chinese in France anyway, so the printing is done.

And he didn't have enough time to be embarrassed. Lyon's appearance list alone was enough to surprise him.

Goalkeeper Cooper, France's second goalkeeper, left-back Kasapa, Brazil's edge international, center-backs Edmilson and Muller, one is a Brazil international and the other is a Sweden international. Right back De Flandre, Belgium international. The left side of the midfielder is Dorasso, France edge international, forward midfielder Carrière, French national team substitute, midfielder Vivienfo, Cameroon international, right midfielder Juninho, Brazil edge international, two forwards are Sony Anderson , Brazil edge international, team star Govu, France edge international.

The lineup of this group of internationals looks scary. No wonder people say that Lyon is one of the strongest contenders for the championship in Ligue 1.

And Ajaccio will be much ugly.

The goalkeeper is Silva starting, left back Regelage, central defender Squelach and captain Colin start, right back Demon, left midfielder is Zhao Yaning, and the midfielder’s double midfielders are Granon and Ananko. The midfielder on the right is Gregory Lacombe, and Fadena and Rodriguez are on the front line.

Several other teammates, Terry Ye, Moragini, Alicat, Seck, Crane, and Lefra all sat on the bench.

There is only one player in the team who has had international experience, and as many as four or five are rented. This kind of team and the other side are totally different.

When will I be able to join such a team? If I play well, I can also join the lineup in Paris, right?

With this idea in mind, the game started soon.

But immediately, he suffered a loss.

After Ajaccio kicked off the ball, the ball immediately passed to the backcourt, and after two or three passes, it reached Zhao Yaning's feet. After receiving the ball, Zhao Yaning turned around and was about to accelerate, and was knocked to the ground by a violent collision.

Zhao Yaning turned around and saw a **** face of Lyon's top 17 player.

"Hurry up!"

Rodriguez greeted him and ran back.

Just now, it was Zhao Yaning's mistake. He did not retrace deeply when he received the ball, and was still in the coverage of Vivienne, and after receiving the ball, his movements were not quick enough, making Vivienne close to him from behind.

Vivian Fu has enough experience. He didn't stick to Zhao Yaning immediately, but took a step slower. Only when Zhao Yaning turned around, he made a steal. Because Zhao Yaning had already turned around and faced Vivian Fu, and Vivian Fu broke the ball first and then hit it with his shoulder. This move was not considered a foul.

All of a sudden, Zhao Yaning grinned in pain. An unkind collision by a **** man can hardly be any better.

This guy did it on purpose. He just wanted to make me uncomfortable, and then he didn't dare to take the ball or break through. This should be what the old players told him, as soon as they stepped onto the football field, the old guys gave them a meeting ceremony. It's just that some old guys like to use technology to greet newcomers, and some like to use their bodies.

Zhao Yaning stood up, and although he glared at Vivian Fu, he didn't say anything, and ran back to meet him. He knew that chattering was useless at this time, and it was plainly looked down upon. And looking at the appearance of the teammates, they don't seem to be ready to ask for justice for themselves-perhaps in their opinion, Zhao Yaning is still adapting to French football, it should be a loss. It is better to lose in the warm-up match than to lose again in the official match.

And they didn't have time to complain, Leon had already started siege.

Although Sony Anderson is a marginal international in Brazil, he was also a Barcelona striker before. His level of strength is very good. However, he is not suitable for Brazil because of his completely European style. In addition, Brazil’s Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Romario and others do not. One is not a world-class superstar, he really can't compete. But in Ligue 1, he is like a big killer. Last season, he scored 13 goals in 10 consecutive games, and scored a feat in every game, which broke the Ligue 1 record for consecutive goals.

Although his partner Govu is young, he is also a rising star in France. The fame of the striker, who only started football training at the age of 17, was Lyon’s European game against Bayern. At that time, he was less than 20 years old. Facing Bayern, who was the most powerful in Europe at the time, he broke through Kahn’s gate twice. , Became famous in one fell swoop.

The attack power of the two of them made the wind roar in front of Lyon's gate.

It just seems that Lyon does not really want to kill his opponents Sony Anderson and Govu immediately. Not to mention, the four midfielders are almost all pressed to the front of the penalty area, and the original midfielder is the midfielder Edmir. Mori made up, and the remaining three guards were all behind.

It seems that Lyon is experimenting with his half-court offensive tactics. Several frontcourt players kept passing the ball back and forth, but they lingered in making it.

However, their passing control has also caused Lyon's lineup to be constantly compressed, and almost all of his hands have been compressed back to the backcourt. Even Zhao Yaning and Lacombe, who were ordered by Kubis not to participate in the defense, contracted extremely.

Finally, after Ananko's grab, a loophole appeared in the back line, Juninho immediately transferred the ball to Carrière next to him, and Carrière didn't wait to stop the ball and squeezed the ball over.

Ge Wu received the ball, turned around, and shot!

The ball flew high over the beam and rushed towards the sky.

The cheers and screams all came to an abrupt end. Ge Wu held his head, glanced at the stands secretly, smiled at his teammates, and ran back.

On the contrary, his teammates have expressions of helplessness, as if they are commonplace in such things.

"Joy!"

Captain Colin roared from behind, which made Zhao Yaning come back to his senses immediately. Only then did he realize that now is not the time to watch the stars, but more should consider how to quickly counterattack.

He speeded up and ran forward, he knew what Silva would do at this time.

Sure enough, Silva kicked the ball with his big foot, and it was on his side.

The ball was inaccurate and Zhao Yaning had to cut inwards. Rodriguez in the backcourt has already started, but I don't know if he can catch up. What is strange is that the opponent's players don't seem to have the idea of ​​actively returning to defense...

The moment his eyes retracted from the ball, Zhao Yaning had already seen the opponent's position, and many thoughts flashed through his mind. But looking back, he saw a figure in front of him approaching.

Edmilson.

Zhao Yaning somewhat understood why no one returned to defense. Everyone believed that Edmilson could stop Zhao Yaning.

This made Zhao Yaning a little angry. This is a formal game. I am the attacker, you are the defender, I have the ball under my feet, and I am facing an open backcourt. Even if you are a national, you can't despise me so much, right? Do you really think I am nothing?

Zhao Yaning accelerated suddenly. After all, his position was better. The ball fell at his feet. Just after the ball was unloaded, Edmilson pounced on it. Zhao Yaning stepped on the ball with his right foot, pulled the ball back, and turned his body to meet Edmilson who was leaping over. Then, with his left foot, he flashed past Edmilson's side.

Marseille roundabout.

The wonderful action made the audience scream, and Zhao Yaning accelerated without hesitation. The coach's words had been left behind by him, and he swiped the ball towards the penalty area.

De Frandell followed up with a replacement, while Cassapa went to block Lacombe but did not follow. Edmilson, who was behind him, immediately recalled, and chased after him. But what Zhao Yaning is most afraid of now is to fight for speed. He lowered his mind and once again lay the ball in the middle, making it more difficult for De Frandall to fill the spot, and at the same time, he slammed directly into the goal.

Kupe attacked without hesitation.

There is nothing wrong with his calculations. The French players have good speed and certainly not good shooting skills. With good shooting skills, there is no need to count on speed. Since Zhao Yaning is able to advance at a high speed and has good skills, it is probably okay to bet on his poor shooting skills. As long as he can block his frontal shooting angle in the penalty area, his only way is to hit the goal with one more step and a small angle. With that kind of shot, the chance of success is much smaller.

There is a blockade in the front and a chasing after. At this time, there can be no hesitation. De Flandre has rushed towards the goal, and Cooper, who has saved it, has already reached the penalty spot. If he goes further, he can only take one more step. He will definitely fall to the ground and block, so that he has nothing but Going to the far post to shoot, but the accuracy of shooting from a small angle is worrying. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com and De Flandre also blocked the goal line...

Zhao Yaning could think of only the most suitable way to deal with it.

He stopped abruptly and picked up the ball.

Shoot?

Cooper jumped in vain, but didn't catch the ball. Edmilson was too late and collided with Zhao Yaning, and both fell to the ground. De Frandell had just turned around and saw the ball fly into the goal from his head against the crossbar.

"1-0!!!"

The loud noise made Zhao Yaning jump up suddenly from the ground. The goal came so quickly, he hadn't even thought about how to celebrate.

But now he doesn't need to think about it anymore. Racombe had rushed over and gave him a warm hug.

"Good boy, good job!"

Rodriguez, Colin, and Squelach also ran up, pulling Zhao Yaning into the auditorium. Everyone knows that it is not easy for Ajaccio to score a goal against such a strong team, so their celebration time is a little longer, and no one cares too much.

Edmilson sat up from the ground, looked at the cheering crowd, then turned to look at Cooper, and gave a wry smile, "I didn't expect it..."

"I didn't expect you to be so stupid."

The person who answered him was the captain of Lyon, Brazilian forward Sony Anderson. He walked past his compatriot without stopping, and touched Edmilson's head smoothly, "Get up, don't be sentimental like a girl."

Edmilson stood up and watched Sony Anderson pick up the ball from the net before he greeted him, "Sony..."

"If you apologize, go to the locker room when it's over. Now, cheer me up." He raised his head and looked at the people in front of him with a smile, "The game officially begins."
