"It's Arthur!" A long-haired boy in a purple Fiorentina jersey shouted in surprise from the stands.
"So handsome, I wonder if he has a girlfriend?" Next to him was the red-haired, round-faced girl, also wearing a purple jersey, in the form of a sissy cupping her heart, with red hearts in both eyes.
"Your boyfriend is here ..."
Not many fans knew Arthur, but all of them applauded and cheered him for this wonderful goal. With such a physically strong young player at the center, the future of the Fiorentina team seems bright.
The morale of the Romanian team, on the other hand, dropped a lot, conceding the ball too quickly and seemingly having problems with the defensive strategy. The coach's pre-match tactic was to defend tightly against Quagliarella, and the defenders didn't realize that the unknown number 9 was more of a threat.
Quagliarella is a well-known player with horrible speed and Romanian defenders are not good at wrapping up Arthur. Soccer tactics are not good to change because unlike basketball rules, coaches can call timeouts from the sidelines.
The game continued with a lot of amateurs and a lot of hustle from the Romanian team, still pressed forward in formation.
The Coppa Italia is a competition that includes Italian first, second, third and amateur teams. Any team from the national level that is registered in Italy is eligible to participate. This is the only chance for Romanian teams to challenge the super teams and show their fans what they are made of.
The visiting players are too eager to show their performance, and the attack is fast-paced. If they play like this, the formation will be easily disjointed and the defense will not be able to go back.
On 33 minutes, the Romanian winger tried to force his way through and was cut down by veteran Di Livio.
Di Livio was experienced and immediately launched a counterattack forward with a direct kick. Quagliarella was given a one-on-one opportunity, and his speed advantage came into play as he accelerated past the wingback and cut inside the box from the right side.
A center back rushes in to cover, Quagliarella observes and doesn't choose to continue with the ball, grounding a pass to the middle of the field.
Arthur runs open in the middle of the field by speeding away from defenders, and if Quagliarella doesn't pass it, everyone will think he's one-dimensional, regardless of whether he can score himself.
Arthur's smooth right-footed sweep from the back post made it easy to score three meters from goal.2-0.
This kind of ball goalkeeper unless the prediction is accurate to seal the angle, otherwise it is impossible to pounce on it. Arthur's shot was still powerful, no need to find an angle, the goalkeeper could not react, the ball grazed the body and went in.
Arthur ran towards Quagliarella and gave him a celebratory high five. "Nice pass!"
"You shoot beautifully too." Quagliarella was in a good mood and added an assist.
He'd love to prove that he's stronger than Arthur, but won't deny that partnering Arthur in the forward line is a blast. Apart from Arthur, the others were a bit out of step with the pace at which he played, and he wasn't a fan of positional play.
After conceding again, another weakness of the Romanian team was then revealed, the mentality of the players was not working.
If they had kept the ball at the beginning, they could have taken their time with their opponents. Now that they are two goals down, the players are a bit anxious to chase points, and the passing errors have become more frequent.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, got better and better, and after taking the lead the young players' mentality became more relaxed and more daring to pass the ball around.
Near the end of the first half, Fiorentina played another defensive counterattack. Center forward Rafael Longo received the ball in the middle of the field and turned smoothly past a man, followed by a direct kick. Bookla
Arthur, according to the coach's arrangement, will also pull back to the midfield activities to help the defense. When the team counterattacked, his "eagle's eye" talent came into play, and he saw an opening and rushed there at full speed to receive the pass.
Arthur, having gained experience playing over 30 games of fielding in London, knew the way to deal with taller players, tripping smoothly to the side with his left foot to distance himself before accelerating forward with the ball.
He got away from the defense with a simple change of direction, and Romania's 190c defender was too slow to turn around and knew he was at a speed disadvantage to reach out and pull someone in.
No one else could catch up with Arthur after this cross. He took the ball from the left side of the field, and the goalkeeper didn't come out. He calmly pushed a right-footed shot into the far corner of the net, and the keeper was right on the ball but couldn't save it. 3-0.
"Pushing is a very important basic movement in soccer, and it is also an easy technique to master. Arthur has practiced it well and is accurate in both passing and shooting.
After the goal Arthur clenched his fist and roared, kicking high. He was a bit far away from Longo and didn't run to the other team to celebrate the goal, giving Longo a thumbs up.
Longo returned a thumbs up, no smile or laugh on his face.
Longo was depressed playing Serie B last season, and now that he's down to playing C2 he wants to run his head off somewhere. He's 25 years old and wants to prove himself at a high level and thinks C2 is an amateur league.
Like Arthur, Longo only saw the Fiorentina team as a transitional springboard to prove that he could still play at a high level once he was healed.
The difference is that Longo has no sense of belonging to the Fiorentina team and has only signed a one-year contract. As soon as a second division team is willing to offer him a contract next summer, he's gone immediately, even if it's a bottom team.
Longo looked at Arthur in a good light because he didn't have much of a goal scoring ability and could only organize the attack to assist his teammates. It's odd enough that he's never scored a goal since his debut. He'd have to rely on strikers like Arthur and hug the other team if he wanted to get numbers.
The home fans in the stands let out a huge cheer as Arthur and his teammates celebrated the goal.
Everyone is now favoring Arthur because he wore the #9 jersey and scored a hat trick in the first half. Only Batistuta has ever done that in the Fiorentina team, not even Chiesa.
After three minutes of added time, the whistle blew for the end of the first half and Arthur joined his teammates back in the locker room.
Viljo Ward, who usually likes to spray people in training, took the unprecedented step of praising his disciples in the locker room. "You guys played well, keep it up in the second half and look for breakaways while defending well. On the counter-attack play the ball to the side first and look for a chance to cross."
3-0 up, Virchoward looked at the players feeling much lovelier, it was a perfect start.
He's a bit of a grumpy guy, and the reason for the grumpiness is the overwhelming desire to win. If the team can win, he can control his bad temper, which he did as a player.
The players now don't think that the coach is incompetent and that the tactic of swinging the bus is unreasonable. Looking at it from another angle the tactic was very reasonable because all the players in the Fiorentina team were new and joined one after another. They've only been training together for a few days, so where's the understanding?
Fiorentina was able to take a big lead today thanks to individual players. They only had a total of 7 shots on goal in the first half, and only Arthur's 3 shots were inside the goal box, all of which went in.
Arthur certainly doesn't usually score this efficiently and got lucky to overplay his hand.
Virchowald asked Arthur, "How does it feel to have a hat trick in your first game?"
"As long as you don't rest me, I have a feeling I'll still score in the second half." Arthur laughed.
He was in a state of extreme excitement, and it was still like there was a fire burning in his body. He is going to transform into a Super Saiyan rhythm, the second half of the opponent do not want to defend him.
Virchowald slapped him hard on the shoulder, "Rest? Don't even think about it, I'm going to play you the whole game every match, real tough guys don't need rest."
The style of Serie A in the 80's and 90's was such that if the core of the team was replaced early, they would feel insulted. Even Robert Baggio, nicknamed the "Prince of Melancholy", had a very tough character.
Brute Rigano's face is very ugly, listening to the coach and Arthur chat, heart wow. Rigano has no speed, can only play center one position, he can not compete in this position Arthur, what to do?
He sadly realized that even if Viljovod was willing to play a three-forward game, he might not even get a chance to play.
Because the team plays an Arthur-centered scheme, would the coach have Arthur, who is a better tackler, pull to the sidelines to make room for Rigano?
Arthur surely wouldn't want to let that go, it would be tantamount to giving up position in the team. Only teammates cooperate with the core offense, and no core is going to change their kicking style and sacrifice possession for a role player.
Rigano regrets it so much he should never have come ...
