Chapter 41: The Dragon Soaring Over the Apennines

It was originally just an ordinary league match, but because of the bickering between Digan and Pagliuca, a duo of young and old who are not doing well, the game was endowed with special meaning from the very beginning.

When the players from both sides came out, when the on-site commentator reported Degan's name, the fans booed neatly. As a Bologna fan, the most taboo thing is to be regarded as lying on the credit book and can only remember the past , A down-and-out rich family who eats the boss.

Degan's words before the game deeply hurt their self-esteem, of course this is just what they think.

It should be said that it is the team that hurt them. Over the past forty years, the investment in the team has been getting smaller and smaller. In today's football world, if they can win the championship, that will be big news.

Degan raised his head as usual, and the boos from around him didn't affect him in the slightest, on the contrary, he seemed to be enjoying himself. His performance was not at all like a young player, if his other mental qualities were a little worse At this moment, the young players might be so frightened that their legs would tremble and tremble, but Digan didn't take it seriously at all.

Hush! Enjoy this game to the fullest! I hope that Lin Daiyu's heart will not be broken into pieces.

Enjoying booing is also a kind of skill. Being able to treat booing as a compliment to oneself is an ultimate nirvana. Why do they boo themselves? ridiculous.

Some people will first deny themselves because of the boos of the fans at the scene, and then become trembling and obsequious, but Degan will only take the boos as praises, which can make the enemy feel scared. What could be better than this.

When the two teams shook hands, Degan was ignored by the whole Bologna team. He also seemed very calm, just like participating in the farewell of the corpse, scanning all the Bologna players with pity.

Seeing their teammates being treated like this, the Atlanta players were also angry. Bologna is really petty. With this measure, they didn't even do face-saving projects. They can ignore Digan, and the Atlanta team can also ignore them.

The two sides just passed each other, without shaking hands or greetings, just a fierce eye contact like sparks hitting the earth.

The referee also frowned. He already felt that the atmosphere of this game would definitely not be harmonious.

Mandolini watched from the sidelines and shook his head again and again. He could tell that the entire Atlanta team had been influenced by Degan and became rebellious, but he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

At the beginning of the game, Atlanta took the lead in attacking. They still played the usual defensive counterattack. Bologna is not weak. Although the team is now in decline, the background is still there anyway. , such as Zanchi who once played for Juventus, Petrucci who played for Inter Milan, and of course Pagliuca, who provoked a pre-match saliva war.

Atalanta was in no hurry to advance around Albertini's skillful backwards in the midfield, and Bologna didn't want to entangle with their opponents at home, and the defense began to gradually press up.

Albertini was waiting for this opportunity. With a long pass, the football reached Zenoni's feet. Zenoni also played for Juventus and was selected for the Italian national team. His ability is completely trustworthy.

After receiving the pass, he immediately accelerated and moved forward. Bologna's defensive player rushed up, but was swayed by Zenoni lightly, and then made a pass.

There is a big man like Digan in the middle. It would be too wasteful if we don't make good use of it. Digan and Zanqi got entangled in the penalty area. Suddenly, he dodged and arrived in front of Zanqi. Header.

Pagliuca's attention was very concentrated. This game can be said to be a contest between him and Degan. He has been in Serie A for many years, and of course he would not bow his head to a junior.

But Degan's header was faster than he had imagined, and he didn't dare to reach out to catch it. Instead, he punched the ball out of the penalty area.

Seeing the ball missed, Degan was also a little annoyed. Seeing that Albertini got the ball from outside the penalty area, he quickly moved out of the way. Albertini's long shot roared in, but it was a pity that it touched the post and flew out of the baseline.

The game had just started, and Atlanta tested Bologna's nerves with a set of combos, and the Bologna fans in the stands behind the goal also let out a sigh of relief.

It's Bologna's turn to attack. Their passing and receiving are very efficient. The old coach Guidolin's enthusiasm for the team can be seen. It is this kind of fast passing that makes any opponent hard to defend.

At the beginning of the new season, although Signori left the team, the head star Locatelli stayed. Although Locatelli is not well-known in world football, he is very capable.

At a young age, he was bought by AC Milan with a lot of money. At the beginning, he was planned to be Savicevic's successor. Unfortunately, the old coach Sacchi, who entered the palace for the second time, was unwilling to give this young man a chance. After Milan wasted two years, he moved to Bologna together with Baggio and stayed for seven years. During these seven years, he has gradually grown from a small role that is almost forgotten by people. , has become the core of the team's well-deserved midfielder. It can be said that if it were not for his weak knees and constant injuries, his achievements would be far stronger than they are now.

A precise through ball found Delacaro on Bologna's striker, but it was a pity that Delacaro's shot was weak and was easily obtained by Taibi.

At the beginning of the game, they greeted each other. Both sides had offense and defense with each other, and the efficiency was not low. You come and go and stage a power battle, but it's a pity that you can't find a good opportunity to threaten the opponent's goal.

Degan had two more chances to shoot, one was shattered by Zanzi early, and the other was slightly wide.

"Come on, kid! Aren't you going to smash my goal? Look at your current appearance, you look like a little girl who peed on her pants!"

Depend on!

Running back, Digan, who was about to defend, heard Pagliuca suddenly yell out such a voice, and the anger that was slowly accumulating exploded in an instant.

No zuo, no die!

Don't blame me if you come here to beg for abuse, you old lady!

In the 30th minute of the game, Atalanta's goal kick went directly to the frontcourt. Lazzari jumped up to fight for the top, ferryed to Montolivo, and then quickly ran to the right. Since the game against Juventus , He also secured the team's main position and replaced Marcolini successfully.

Lazari's speed was fast, followed by Montolivo's pass. He stepped forward vigorously and accelerated to overtake directly. Although Petrucci is a famous player, it is a pity that he is old and his physical fitness is not as good as before. , How can I keep up with the young man Lazari, I can only watch him go away helplessly.

Chance!

Digan's eyes lit up, he shot a feint, and ran towards the opponent's penalty area. Zanqi followed closely behind, and Pagliuca also realized the danger, and stood up a little bit, ready to intercept The opponent's cross.

"Rod!"

Lazari yelled and made a cross. He passed the ball very high. Even though Pagliuca jumped up with all his strength, the football still flew past his fingertips.

Although he failed to stop the football, Pagliuca was not too worried. He felt that Digan was standing behind him, and he couldn't even catch it, so Digan was naturally useless.

But before he could relax, he suddenly heard a roar in his ear, and he couldn't help but turn pale with fright.

The commentator at the scene was also frightened by Degan's terrifying jumping ability. After he jumped up, his hands were even higher than Pagliuca's hands by a head height.

"Boom!"

With a relaxed head shake, the football hit the goal line and bounced directly into the net.

After the goal, Degan opened his arms as soon as he landed, and started his trademark celebration loudly.

"God! How high did he jump just now? It was as if he was flying. Like a dragon descending from the sky, Paliuka seemed powerless in front of Digan!"

Dragon?

I like this name, a dragon soaring over the Apennines!

Seeing that the half-time game could be ended in a draw, but at this moment, Digan's ground-breaking header broke the deadlock on the field. Of course, the Bologna players were not reconciled.

After restarting the game, Bologna obviously sped up the speed. Unfortunately, Atlanta returned to defense at the moment. After withstood Bologna's mad attack for more than ten minutes, the time of the first half of the game also came to an end.

After the start of the second half, Bologna was still on the offensive. Although Guidolin is an old coach, his football style is incompatible with the usual Italian football style. He pays more attention to the team's small-scale cooperation and likes to play that kind of small ball Cooperate, through uninterrupted passing, pull the opponent's defense line, find a gap, and then send a fatal blow.

At the 65th minute of the second half, Bologna's patient pass finally seized an opportunity. Locatelli's through ball found Delacaro again.

Although the young Italian striker is not good at shooting, he is very fast. After leaning on Natali, he turned around quickly. Although Natali's interception ability is strong, his turning speed is his fatal injury. He has no choice but to stretch his legs to pass Delacaro stumbled.

The referee's whistle blew immediately, and while Natalie was given a yellow card, he also gave Bologna a free kick on the line of the penalty area.

Locatelli took the penalty himself. After bypassing the Atlanta wall, his free kick went directly into the dead corner of the goal. Although Taibi responded in time, he couldn't stop the goal.

Seeing that the team had evened the score, the fans burst into cheers.

Degan stood in front of the penalty area and watched, shaking his head helplessly. No one could do anything about this ball. It can only be said that Locatelli's footwork is really excellent.

"Don't take it to heart, we'll make another one!"

Degan said loudly, the Bologna players heard the words, and there was obvious banter in their eyes, one more, do you treat us all as air?
