Chapter 42 Hat trick?
This time, their core player is planning the offense for Novara, Rigoni!
After receiving a long diagonal pass from the backcourt, Rigoni beautifully removed the football and a casual change of direction avoided the Bulls' midfielder Defeudis who was sliding forward. After leaning against another midfielder Devezze, Rigoni clearly passed the ball to his forward Gonzalez who was inserted into the penalty area. Gonzalez kept stopping the ball and knocked the ball back to the center Bertani at the front of the penalty area.
Since Turin central defenders Dicesare and Ogbona were all attracted by Gonzalez who was inserted into the penalty area, there was no Bulls' defenseman beside Bertani!
This is a great opportunity for Novara!
Bertani did not make any adjustments, and immediately shot a strong shot against the ball, and the football flew straight to the upper corner of the goal like a shell.
Just when everyone thought the score on the field was about to be equalized, the hero of Turin in this game, Chu Jiang, stepped forward again!
Facing the rapidly flying football, Chu Jiang made a very beautiful fish jumping action. His outstretched arm just touched the ball that was about to enter the net, and pushed it out of the bottom line!
All the fans of the audience exclaimed at the same time.
After saving the ball, Chu Jiang began to roar at the defense line in front of him, reminding his teammates to improve their attention, especially to pay attention to guarding against opponents Rigoni and Bertani. At the same time, Chu Jiang asked Sgrigna and Ivenko not to return to defense too deeply, and to firmly penetrate behind the opponent and use attack to curb the opponent's wing offensive.
With one move, the decline and the three were exhausted. Due to the two excellent opportunities in succession, Chu Jiang successfully saved them, the morale of the Novara players was inevitably affected. With Chu Jiang's motivation, the Bulls began to launch a counterattack, and the scene suddenly became stalemate, and both sides had offensives and defenses.
Although they both got some opportunities, the score on the field has not changed since the goalkeepers performed well and the shooting opportunities are not very good.
However, just as the first half was about to end, Novara got a good free kick opportunity at the front of the penalty area of the Torino team. This free kick, which was basically the same as the free kick scored by Chu Jiang, was the core figure in the frontcourt, Rigoni!
Chu Jiang arranged the human wall according to the convention, guarding the near corners of the human wall and defending the far corners by himself.
Like Chu Jiang's time, Rigoni also sent a high-quality free kick, but Chu Jiang's reaction was obviously much faster than Uykani. As soon as the football flew to the top of the wall, Chu Jiang had already moved quickly to the near corner. After a few small steps to get a run, Chu Jiang flew into a fish and leaped, saving the football from the crossbar, and once again ensuring that the goal was not lost!
This is the third time Chu Jiang has blocked his opponent's extremely threatening shot in the half-time game!
In the last minute of stoppage time in the first half, due to the decline in physical strength, Piao Tianwen. Although Uykani encountered football this time, the football flew too fast and fell into the net after a slight change of direction!
2:0, with Chu Jiang's free kick, the Bulls ended the first half of the Derby with a two-goal lead!
During the halftime break, the fans at the scene continued to sing. In just 45 minutes, they contributed two wonderful free kicks, three wonderful saves, and one was a very rare Scorpion swing. This exciting first half made all the fans who came to watch the game excited.
There is no doubt that the most dazzling player in the first half is Chu Jiang! The fans' singing is also dedicated to Chu Jiang, a talented goalkeeper who is unknown at the beginning of this season!
“We’re here.
Just to see you play football!
Fish jump to save the danger.
Barb gold hook.
And that missile-accurate free kick!
On the green field.
You are the shiny elf.
Give us a beautiful enjoyment!…”
The versatile Bulls fans even compiled a song for Chu Jiang on the spot and began to sing it continuously. Within a few minutes, under the organization of Bulls fans, the audience began to hum this song praising Chu Jiang.
Immediately afterwards, the fans of the Turin team began to sing their traditional songs in unison, "Drive, dance, if you don't dance, you will be a Juventus!" Then, the Turin team song, "This is the jersey I dreamed of when I was a child. My father always goes to the municipal stadium, where there is Turin, the dream of Turin..."
The lively singing turned the home court of Turin into a sea of celebration, as if the festive season was festive. The exciting game in the first half gave the fans a happy mood and a reason to celebrate.
In the Bulls' locker room, the fans' loud singing can be clearly heard.
When the teammates listened to the songs praising Chu Jiang by fans, they all looked at Chu Jiang with some envy. This young man who was only 17 years old. He had a pretty face and had conquered all the Bulls fans in less than 180 minutes and 2 games. Even the most picky fans have become his loyal fans now. Even the teammates of the Turin team have to admit that this is a genius!
"Chu, I haven't even enjoyed this treatment!"
Bulls captain Rolando, Bianchi pointed to the fans' direction and said to Chu Jiang with a smile. For Turin, Bianchi sacrificed a high salary, the opportunity to join a strong team, and his best youth. In the eyes of Bulls fans, he is always the most reliable and lovely person.
"Rolando, no matter what, you are their favorite person! Now, and then, it will be!" Chu Jiang said seriously. In modern football, there are fewer and fewer players like Bianqi who are loyal to their old clubs. Chu Jiang respects such players very much.
"Haha, you are all their favorite people!" Lerda said with a smile.
Lerda was very satisfied with the performance of these two proud disciples. The two goals in the first half gave the coach a very relaxed mood.
"In the first half, although we were ahead of the score, we were unable to control the initiative of the game. There was still 45 minutes of fighting in the second half, and it was far from relaxing. In the second half, we should find ways to improve our offense and strive to win the game!" Lerda reminded his players.
"Coach, I have an idea. In the second half, I hope to invest more troops during the attack. Evanco and Sgrigner both retreated too deeply in the first half. I think they should not go back to their own half even if they retreat. Staying in the frontcourt to put pressure on their opponents is better than blindly returning to defense!" Chu Jiang boldly made suggestions to the head coach.
Lerda thought for a while, "What you said makes sense. But Novara's offensive is very strong. Can you all rely on you defenders alone?"
Lerda was a little worried about Chu Jiang’s suggestion.
"It's okay. Our offense is threatening, so they naturally don't dare to push too much. Moreover, as long as Devize and Defeudis run more and help Dembrosio and Garofalo, I have the confidence to organize the defense line and disintegrate their offensive."
"If they still put in a big push, we can also use long passes to hit them behind them. Taking advantage of the emptiness behind them, we just need to seize a counterattack opportunity and expand the score advantage by one more goal, and we will definitely win this game!"
After listening to Chu Jiang's analysis, Lerda couldn't help but nod.
Looking at the 17-year-old boy in front of him, Lerda couldn't help but feel emotion. This boy gave him too many surprises, not only his excellent goal line skills, but also his excellent free kick skills, but also his tactical awareness.
"He is the bull's treasure!" Lerda thought so.
If, now someone asks Lerda, "Do you still miss Rubinho?" Lerda will definitely ask back, "Who is Rubinho?"...
After a brief rest, the second half of the game began soon.
In the second half, the Bulls really changed their playing style again and immediately fought with Novara.
"Devize, make up for the position, stare at Rigoni!"
"Garofalo, be careful behind you!"
"Defyus, pay attention to assisting defense!"
...
In the second half, Chu Jiang's big decibel horns were endless. With his spare no effort to command, Turin's defense suddenly became much more stable, and there was no chance for the opponent to take advantage of it. On the contrary, due to the active frontcourt players, Novara's defense was in constant danger. If it weren't for the steady performance of the two central defenders and goalkeepers, the score on the field would have been rewritten again!
Despite the fire in the backyard, Novara, who was behind in the score, has been forced to the edge of the cliff. The disadvantage of the two goals is like the sword of Damocles hanging on his head, forcing them to push forward a lot of attack. If the gap behind cannot be narrowed as soon as possible, they will definitely become the losers of this game.
In this way, Novara's defense became very empty. Under Chu Jiang's command, the Bulls frequently launched long passes, directly burning the war to Novara's backcourt. Under the Bulls' resolute counterattack, Novara's goal was full of dangers and dangers continued.
Finally, in the 65th minute, Chu Jiang activated his long pass skill and handed the ball accurately to Ivanko's feet. Ivanko dunked over Novara's midfielder who came forward to make up for defense, and then went harder, directly using speed to eat the opponent's central defender. When he attracted a full-back to come forward to block the ball, he easily distributed the ball to Razarevic, a former midfielder who came to pick up the Bulls midfielder.
Facing the incoming ball, Lazarevic cleverly made a Marseille swing, and directly left Rudy, the defender who defended him, and headed straight to the penalty area. The defender closest to Lazarevic is still standing on the sidelines, and it is unlikely to intercept the attack in time.
There was no way, Rudy had to take a tactical foul and reached out to drive Lazarevic.
The referee's whistle sounded and he showed Rudy a yellow card without hesitation! At the same time, the Turin team once again won a good frontcourt free kick!
In previous games, Chu Jiang had already scored twice in a free kick! This time, as the goalkeeper, will Chu Jiang complete a hat-trick for a free kick?
Commentator Burley was excited! 25,000 fans at the scene stood up at the same time! Head coaches Lerda and Tserl stood on the sidelines at the same time, staring at Chu Jiang who was running forward from the backcourt!
Scoring this goal, the Bulls will completely secure the victory!
With this goal, Chu Jiang will complete his first hat trick in his career!
Scoring this goal, the record that has been covered for many years will be tied! Chu Jiang will become the first person to tie Mikhailovic's free kick record! His name will be written into the history of football!
Faced with this goal, Novara was shockingly out of the seven-person wall! In any case, they also had to prevent their opponents from achieving this glory in themselves!
Chapter completed!
