Chapter 88 Decisive attack
Chapter 88: Decisive attack
Although they were against the top team, before the start of this game, 15,000 enthusiastic Bulls fans were still pouring into the Olympic Stadium in Turin.
This season, the stadium attendance rate of the Serie B League is generally not high, with only two or three thousand spectators in many games. However, the average number of attendances of the Turin team at home is more than 13,000. Moreover, as the game progresses, the team's attendance rate is still steadily increasing.
Even in the fifth round of the Piedmont derby, all 25,000 tickets at the Turin Olympic Stadium were sold out, creating a record of overwhelming success, which made all the managers of other Serie B teams envious.
However, the reason why the Turin team has such high popularity is closely related to the team's record.
In the last four games, Torino won four games, with 11 goals and only 2 goals conceded. In the just-concluded Italian Cup, Torino defeated the powerful Serie A team Bari on the road with a substitute. Moreover, Chu Jiang, the new favorite of the fans, also scored a free kick hat-trick in that game, tying Mikhainovic's magical record.
This series of exciting news injected a shot of a heart-warming shot into the already popular Turin market, making the ticket sales of Turin even more prosperous.
However, who would have thought that in the previous life, Torino was in a state of 30% slump in season ticket sales. After several rounds of Serie B, due to poor performance, ticket sales became even more bleak. In order to reverse the bleak dilemma of the market, Torino Club even had to use the method of giving away tickets such as family tickets to attract fans to return to the stadium.
Nowadays, Turin, which has Chujiang, has become the most attractive team in the entire Serie B box office. Chujiang, who performs well, is the guarantee of the box office of Turin team!
Before the game started, when the players of the two teams entered the court, in the traditional fan stands of Torino, Bethleia and Maratona stands, led by the "Great Bulls" fan organization, the loyal fans of Torino team pulled up a large banner about 20 meters long with two simple and rustic Italian letters printed on it.
"Chu, don't leave!"
This is a loyal fan of the Torino team, who is using his most straightforward way to retain the most outstanding players in the team!
Following the captain of this game, Chu Jiang was the second Torino player to leave the player channel. As soon as he walked into the stadium, Chu Jiang saw this huge banner at the first time.
He was stunned!
Seeing Chu Jiang's appearance, all the fans began to shout his name.
"Chu!"
"Chu!"
"Chu!"
The huge sound waves shook the entire Olympic Stadium and also shocked Chu Jiang's heart.
Since he came to Turin, fans have been enthusiastic support of Chu Jiang. Whenever he makes a wonderful save, fans will scream in admiration; whenever he scores a direct free kick, fans will not hesitate to their applause; even when Chu Jiang is sent off, fans will still comfort him with singing!
It is undoubtedly Chu Jiang’s luck to be able to obtain such fans and receive their unreserved support!
Faced with the shouts of the fans, Chu Jiang raised his hands high, applauded and thanked them!
Behind him, both Turin teammates and Ascoli players all threw envious eyes at Chu Jiang.
The Golden Cup and Silver Cup are not as good as the reputation of fans. It is the biggest compliment to a player that can win such a welcome from fans!
At this moment, sitting in the studio of Turin Sports Station, the host asked the guests around him with a smile.
"Marco, as a legend in Turin history, what do you think of your junior?"
"To be honest, in a nutshell, that's all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred, haha!"
Marco, who is nearly 40 years old, said with a smile.
Ferrant is an idol of Turin fans and a symbol of Turin. During his eight years of playing for Turin, Ferrant has participated in 254 games and scored a total of 125 goals, making him the player with the most goals in Turin's history in more than 100 years!
Since Ferrante also played for Ascoli, Turin Sports used this great striker as a commentary guest when he was broadcasting the game.
"Ha, Marco, you're too modest. As one of the greatest players in Turin history, how could you be jealous of a boy who is less than 18 years old for less than half a year?" the commentator quipped.
"Don't look at Chu's young age, and a hero is a teenager. He is really not simple! I have watched every game of him. He is really a very potential player. I have been conquered by his performance and become his loyal fan!" Ferrant said happily.
It can be seen that Ferrante is really happy to find such a player in Turin. As a loyal fan of Turin team, he is really happy.
"If Chu Ye could play in Turin for 8 years, I guess he would break my goal record, and it would be no difficulty at all."
Ferrant added.
"Are you kidding, Marco?"
The commentator said in surprise, "Although Chu is also very good, you are the player with the most goals in the history of the Torino team. If you want to break your record, this task is not that easy to complete! What's more, Chu's position on the field is not a striker, he is a goalkeeper who is replaced as if he is a fake. A goalkeeper breaks the goal record in the history of the Torino team, which is too absurd!"
"That's because you haven't seen Chu kicks. As long as you see his free kick, you have to admire him. He is simply God's masterpiece and a gift from God! If you don't believe it, do you think, how many goals have Chu scored so far this season?"
"8 goals in the league, 4 goals in the cup, a total of 12 goals! Chu only spent 8 games in these 12 goals, with an average goal rate of 1.5, and an average of 3 goals per two games. My goal rate is less than 0.5, which is far behind Chu!"
"Marco, you said a little too much. If you participate in more games, your goal rate will naturally be lower. The reason why Chu has such a high goal rate is simply because he has participated in fewer games." The commentator obviously did not believe Ferrant's statement.
"As for whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway, haha!"
Ferrant smiled and stopped explaining.
"Now, the only obstacle that may arise is that Chu may not be like me, staying in Turin for 8 years. It is really difficult for our Turin team to keep such a stunning player!" Ferrant shook his head regretfully, with a helpless look.
Although he does not believe Ferrant's previous statement, the commentator's view on whether Chu Jiang will stay in Turin will coincide with Ferrant. In the past few days, after repeated hype by the Turin media, almost few people now believe that Turin can retain Chu Jiang for a long time. Even the most fanatical fans in Turin have no confidence in Chu Jiang's stay in the team.
It is precisely for this reason that Turin fans raised huge banners at the beginning of the game to retain their beloved star, Chu Jiang.
With the whistle whistle at the beginning of the game, Ascoli, who was the first to kick off, launched the first round of the offensive of the game.
After several tug-of-war, the ball fell at the feet of Ascoli's left winger Giorgi. Gorgi dribbled the ball and cut inside and came to the front of the penalty area.
After calmly observing the defensive position of the Turin players, Giorgi lifted the ball and cleverly sent out a overhead goal, just over the heads of two Turin central defenders who were standing in front.
Before Giorgi passed the ball, Ascoli's striker Moretti had already discovered this space and was starting to start at high speed.
When Gorgi's pass crossed the Torino defense line, Moretti understood it and happened to appear on the route of the football flight!
Single shot!
Just two minutes after the opening game, the Ascoli created an excellent scoring opportunity!
Following the direction of the ball flying, Moretti raised his right leg, pulled the ball forward, and unloaded the ball on his running route. Although he didn't control the strength when unloading the ball, the distance to stop the ball was a little far. But Moretti was not worried because he ran faster and could directly shoot as long as he ran two steps.
While preparing for the game, Ascoli head coach Gustinetti told several forwards of the team. Although the goalkeeper of the Torino team is very capable, he does not like to attack. He often stays on the goal line during the game and does not easily leave the small penalty area for half a step.
So, although Moretti stopped the ball a bit big, he still didn't care.
Obviously, Moretti must have never read the Chinese "The Three Kingdoms". In "The Three Kingdoms", there is a saying, "A scholar should treat each other with admiration for three days after separation."
Chu Jiang is no longer Wu Xia Ameng!
After systematic special training, Chu Jiang's primary attributes rose from 5 to 7. Although they are still not very high, they already have a certain attack ability.
Seeing Moretti stopping a little bigger, if he doesn't attack yet, when will he wait?
"roar!"
Chu Jiang roared, like an angry lion, rushing towards the football quickly with lightning speed (no bell stealing).
When he heard Chu Jiang's roar, Moretti was surprised and quickly raised his head to look at the door. Chu Jiang's eyes were wide open and his face was ferocious, like a hungry tiger descending the mountain, flying towards him!
This is a kind of momentum!
A momentum that is the only one who looks down on the world!
Before the man approached, Chu Jiang's momentum had completely overwhelmed Moretti!
Under the pressure of Chu Jiang's momentum, Moretti was a little panicked. He never expected Chu Jiang to attack. In desperation, Moretti had not yet gotten completely close to the football and was still far from the football, but he chose to shoot in a hurry.
Before the ball flew far, it was already blocked by Chu Jiang who was flying towards him, hugged the football and pressed it under him!
The single shot was saved!
Chu Jiang once again staged a wonderful save!
Applause suddenly erupted at the Olympic Stadium, and the fans did not hesitate to cheer and dedicated their praise to the outstanding guardian of Turin, Chu Jiang!
"What a wonderful save, Chu saved Ascoli's very threatening single shot!"
Chapter completed!
