Chapter 166: I asked you to retreat, why don’t you retreat?

Stefano Gulbertti, wearing a blue jersey, broke through the opponent's interception and made a cross near the baseline. The football flew into a beautiful arc and landed at an extremely fast speed towards the front of the small penalty area on the defensive side.

"nice shot!"

Decaro, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't help but praise him.

Some crosses can give people a very comfortable feeling as soon as they pass it, just like Gulbetti's cross this time.

The timing, arc, height, landing point, and speed of the ball are all impeccable, and the quality is very high. Even Di Carlo, who was watching, couldn't help but applaud the ball.

In the penalty area, Sampdoria's number one striker Pacini suddenly ran in the reverse direction, shook off the substitute central defender who was marking him, and then quickly took off.

When the football fell, Pachini jumped to the highest point.

The lion shook his head!

Pacini made a beautiful head-shot and the football rushed to the near corner of the goal like lightning!

"This ball is here!"

With years of experience, Pachini was basically sure that this time, he was a goal with only one goal!

As his body fell, Pacini smiled and turned his head to look at the goal.

The smile suddenly solidified!

"What!"

Just as the football was about to fly into the ball net, a pair of big hands suddenly blocked the football's route!

That's Chu Jiang!

Chu Jiang had already stood up when Pacini took off. When he chose to head the ball, Chu Jiang keenly noticed his intention to attack and responded quickly.

When the football flew towards the goal, Chu Jiang was ready!

"Bang!"

Chu Jiang held up with one palm and pushed Pachini's header out of the crossbar!

Crisis, resolve!

“Good job!”

After landing, Pacini laughed, walked to Chu Jiang's side, and patted his shoulder friendly.

Since it was a training match, Pachini did not give his all, so he didn't care much about whether to score or not. However, Chu Jiang's performance surprised the knowledgeable shooter.

You know, the goal of Pacini's attack was extremely dangerous in the previous shot. During that shot, Pacini did not let the ball go, and he had a high quality of header. According to Pacini's experience, there will not be many goalkeepers who can save him in the Serie A.

At least, Sampdoria's main goalkeeper Kurchi may not be able to save.

However, Chu Jiang, who was younger and more famous, actually saved the ball, which naturally surprised Pacini. At the same time, it also gave him a new understanding of the young goalkeeper and began to pay attention to him gradually.

On the football field, everything depends on strength.

A capable player will have the right to speak and will win the respect of others!

"Julier, can you save this ball?"

On the side of the training ground, Di Carlo said to a young man beside him with a smile on his face.

The young man was wearing a goalkeeper training suit and was staring at the game on the training ground with concentration. He was Sampdoria's substitute goalkeeper, Julier Da Costa.

"This...maybe, it's hard to say..."

Dacosta touched the back of his head and responded with some guilt.

To be honest, if he had been the one who had guarded the goal just now, that goal would have been in. However, he was embarrassed to say this directly.

When Chu Jiang first came, Dacosta looked down on him a little.

As a player who has been playing in Serie A for many years, he has some psychological superiority for such players who come from low-level leagues. In addition, goalkeepers are a position that requires experience, and Chu Jiang is so young. Therefore, it is normal for Dacosta to look down on Chu Jiang.

When head coach Di Carlo arranged Chu Jiang to play and Dacosta was substituted off the court, Dacosta was very dissatisfied. In his opinion, it should be that kid who watched his performance off the court.

However, after seeing Chu Jiang's wonderful save, Da Costa realized that the kid was not as simple as he had imagined, and his strength was stronger than he had imagined.

"However, guarding the gate cannot rely solely on a flash of inspiration, but must have a more stable performance."

Dacosta said a little dissatisfied.

"Haha, then keep reading."

Di Carlo knew the emotions in Dacosta.

As soon as Chu Jiang arrived, he snatched Dacosta's position. He felt dissatisfied. This was normal, and Di Carlo was not surprised.

What surprised Di Carlo was Chu Jiang's performance.

Through the video, Di Carlo had some intuitive understanding of Chu Jiang. In his impression, this was a young goalkeeper with good strength and great potential.

However, the performances in the video cannot be a criterion for judging whether a player is excellent or not. Because the clips appearing in the video clip are all the time when a player performs his best. If you only watch the video, it is easy to estimate a player's ability too high and cannot get the most accurate understanding.

However, Chu Jiang's performance in reality is even better than what Di Carlo saw in the video.

Originally, Di Carlo thought Chu Jiang's air defense ability was one of his shortcomings. However, Chu Jiang's successful header on the defense of Pachini gave the head coach an unexpected surprise.

In the training match, Chu Jiang did not receive any influence from long-distance travel and still showed good competitive state. Moreover, the ability he showed was stronger than Di Carlo imagined, which made Di Carlo feel a little excited.

"Did the club sign a baby this time?"

Di Carlo's eyes on the field were a little more intense.

The ability growth brought by special training has indeed corrected Chu Jiang's shortcomings in goalkeeping skills and made him more stable when guarding the goal. These changes in ability are clearly reflected in every defense, causing great trouble to the main side's offense.

This is why Di Carlo feels that Chu Jiang's performance is stronger than in the video!

This is not the only thing that makes Di Carlo happy. In addition to being stronger than expected, Chu Jiang's extroverted personality also makes Di Carlo happy.

The goalkeeper position is born as the core of a team's defense. A goalkeeper who is unwilling to open his mouth to command the defense and forms good communication with the players on the defense line cannot become an excellent goalkeeper.

Chu Jiang's performance in this regard also made Di Carlo feel very satisfied.

Standing on the goal line, Chu Jiang did not passively wait for the opponent's attack, but actively commanded his teammates to run and actively interfered with the organization of offensive players.

On the court, the golf clubs often hear Chu Jiang’s loud shouting.

"Lucini, be careful about Pachini's running position!"

"Densena, get stuck with Gulbetti!"

"Poli, press Palonbo!"

...

Before the training began, Chu Jiang asked each player's name and forced himself to write it down, especially the name of each defensive player, which Chu Jiang focused on remembering.

Not long after the game started, Chu Jiang began to shout his teammates' names and direct their assisted defense. Facing these big-name teammates, Chu Jiang had no intention of being afraid of being. Although he was a newcomer, this did not affect his passion for command.

He doesn't care whether his teammates listen or not, but he must say it loudly because it is his duty.

"Gastaldello, take two steps back, fast!"

Noting that the central defender Gastaldero stood a little forward, Chu Jiang immediately reminded loudly. While shouting, he waved his hand and signaled Gastaldero to run back.

"Tsk, it's just a newcomer, why should I listen to you!"

Gastaldello did not care about Chu Jiang's dancing command at all.

Gastaldello, 27, is an excellent central defender who debuted from the Juventus youth team. So far this year, he has had 5 seasons of Serie A experience, with nearly 150 appearances, which can be said to be a long-standing experience in high-level leagues.

And Chu Jiang? He is just a rookie in the Serie A arena.

Gastaldello didn't care about such a young reminder at all.

"If there is danger, will I not know? I need to remind me?"

Gastaldello pretended not to hear Chu Jiang's words and continued his standing defense.

"Have a chance!"

Palonbo, who drove the ball, glanced at Gastaldello's position and suddenly passed a straight pass, which happened to pass over Gastaldello's head and landed behind him.

Pachini, who had been running sideways all the time, suddenly accelerated and rushed forward, throwing the player who was defending him behind him and appeared on Palonbo's passing route.

Single sword!

It is precisely because Gastaldello's position is too high that Pacini gets this one-on-one opportunity!

Because Palonbo's pass was a bit forward, Pacini was a little bit bigger when he stopped the ball. After the ball was stopped, the football was a little far from Pacini's body.

Attack!

Facing the famous Pachini, Chu Jiang chose to attack without hesitation.

Within the penalty area, my defense range is!

Like a Mercedes-Benz cheetah, Chu Jiang rushed forward rapidly.

Seeing this, Pachini quickly accelerated and ran forward. When he touched the ball again, Chu Jiang's figure was already in front of him.

"Bang!"
