"Xu Feng, is coming to Idlewild for the first time this summer."
"Initially went on trial to Serie B side Padova."
"Then signed for Serie A side Chievo."
"According to the local media."
"It was a scout from Chievo who snatched Xu Feng from Padova to sign him."
He Wei was a bit surprised as he read the relevant message just delivered by the staff.
At this point, not to mention He Wei's surprise.
Even the fans are getting more and more amazed the more they hear about it.
"The first time I've ever been to Yardley, I've been signed?"
"Stealing people from other clubs to sign, that's some show!"
"That is to say, Xu Feng tried out for a team in the second division, only to be snapped up first by Serie A's Chievo?"
"That is to say, Xu Feng, this player, the strength should be a little something, right, are robbing people, shows that the club is very optimistic ah!"
A burst of analysis from the fans.
It also dropped the crowd's appetite.
"This Dragon Country striker named Xu Feng, is it hard to believe that he's a talented star of tomorrow?"
"Why haven't we gotten any news at all before."
"It's probably because the media are disappointed."
"After all, the soccer environment in the Dragon Kingdom is a fool's errand to produce a talented player."
"Even if there are talented players, they are probably going to be scourged by the Pawn Association."
"Yeah, don't play soccer in this domestic environment, go to Europe to develop quite well."
He Wei exclaimed in admiration.
"It looks like Serie A is going to be a lot better this year! We'll have a lot more to look forward to as well!"
"The game is about to start and we see that the starters for this game have taken the field."
The fans rushed out of bed as well.
Some lit a cigarette to clear their heads.
Obviously, fans want to witness this moment.
In case this player named Xu Feng makes an appearance.
That's a bit of history to witness.
After all, how many years has it been since we've seen a Dragon Nation player in the top flight.
Bentgotti Stadium.
Xu Feng looked at the players on the field.
Listen to the chants of the fans around you.
A pang of excitement ran through his mind.
In his last life, he regretted saying goodbye to the field forever because of a serious injury.
Today, however, I'm back!
Not only are they back, but they're coming to the pitch in Europe's top league!
Head Coach DeCray stood on the sidelines with a serious look on his face.
Today is the first game of the season.
And it's still the home stretch.
The team's goal is to get the win!
"Beep-"
The referee blew the whistle to start the game!
Chievo is the first to serve.
Because it's the home stretch.
Plus the chants of support from the home fans.
Every player in Chievo looks excited.
Soon, Chievo took the initiative on the field.
Several consecutive attacks advanced near Catania's penalty area.
Catania's goal today was also clear.
It's all about keeping the tie and fighting for the win!
Facing Chievo's offense.
Except for top scorer Maxi Lopez up top in center field.
Everyone else contracted to participate in the defense.
Chievo's side has formed a siege though.
But facing Catania's iron barrel formation.
And yet there is nothing good about it!
The box is full of defenders.
The pass doesn't go in at all.
Chievo's side had to resort to shooting from distance.
But there are too many defenders in the box.
The ball was either cleared or confiscated by the opposing goalkeeper.
The first half ended with a dull 0-0 score.
The second half changed hands.
Chievo continued their first half attack.
Catania's side is still like an undefeatable force.
All formations contracted.
Maximize the best defensive efforts while retaining physical strength.
Just when the fans were getting a little tired of watching.
Corner kick opportunity for Chievo.
The Catania goalkeeper jumps high to confiscate the ball.
A quick serve followed.
The midfielder got the ball and pushed forward quickly for a change.
The wingbacks on both sides of the ball also sprinted.
Like two sharp knives into Cheever's ribs.
Catania's offense and defense are switching at a fast pace.
This counterattack after a corner kick is scored.
One looks like it's been rehearsed many times during the week.
Chievo's side, as a result of serving a corner just now.
The penalty area got into a lot of players involved in the fight for the top.
Facing Catania's quick counterattack.
Players rush back to the defense, but can only fall behind.
Chievo's rear is now assisted by only one center back and two wing backs.
The four Catania players are very fast.
It's now a four-on-three situation.
The two wingbacks each close in on the other's wing man.
Cesar at center back has some egg on his face.
In front of him was the opposing midfielder who was sprinting with the ball.
Next to him is Catania striker Maxi Lopez.
Cesar is experienced and half-turns all the way back.
He has to both prevent the opposing midfield from breaking through with the ball.
And to prevent him from slipping the ball to Maxi Lopez at his side to avoid a one-two.
It was now backed up near the top of the arc of the box.
Cesar recognizes the moment and decides to step in, intending to shovel.
I didn't expect the opposing midfield to be on guard.
Flick the ball to the side.
Then a direct kick to Maxi Lopez in the box.
Cesar's mind was reeling.
Instead, he could only watch as Lopez formed a one-two.
Pampas native Maxi Lopez scored 11 goals in Serie A last season.
Goal scoring is in the top 10 of the scorer's list.
Also Catania's top scorer in the team.
He was seen getting the ball and calmly rubbing it towards the far corner.
The ball went over the hands of Chievo goalkeeper Sorrentino and straight into the net.
1 to 0!
Catania was the first to break the deadlock in the 62nd minute!
There was a sigh of relief from the Chievo fans in the crowd.
The Dragon fans watching the live stream also felt very sorry for the game.
Catania has been under siege from the opening kickoff until now.
Unexpectedly, the first counterattack and the first shot on goal resulted in a goal.
Chevrolet is really too much of a loss!
However, there is also speculation from Dragon fans.
Does the head coach make adjustments when the team falls behind?
In that case, wouldn't Xu Feng have a chance to play and make his Serie A debut?
