Chapter 29: The Gate Will Open

  The result of this life's confrontation between Ling and Vares is exactly the same as in the previous life.

  In the Olympic Stadium, 15,000 fans cheered on, but the Bulls ultimately suffered a shocking 1-2 defeat to newly-promoted Varese. This was also the first time in over 100 years of history that the Bulls had lost to Varese!

  Varese, playing away from home, took the lead in the 14th minute with a direct free kick by midfielder Buzegleri. In the 35th minute, Varese's striker Neto Pereira scored another goal, changing the score to 2-0. This result left everyone at the scene stunned.

  The Torino team, which was determined to take all three points before the match, only scored a goal shortly after the start of the second half, with midfielder Obodo scoring. After that, the Bulls had no achievements and had to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat.

  The starting goalkeeper for this match is Morello, while Chujang appears in the stands. To be fair, Morello's performance in this game was okay, with no major mistakes and two beautiful saves. However, he was unable to reverse the tide of defeat due to his limited ability.

  Borrelli, who served as the commentator for this match, still misses Chujang, that magical goalkeeper. This time, when he mentioned Chujang's name, his pronunciation was noticeably more standard than last time. It seems that in order to understand Chujang better, he didn't slack off on his homework. The cameraman at the scene also cooperated very well, every time Doul was in a dangerous situation or took a direct free kick, the camera would focus on Chujang sitting in the stands.

  When the Bulls were two goals behind, someone on the stands even shouted out Chu Jiang's name. The young goalkeeper who brought magic in the match against Cosenza left a deep impression on the fans. As for this situation, Coach Mr. was expressionless.

  After the first round loss, Lierd did not suffer too much. After all, it was just a game and couldn't explain too many problems; after all, Lierd had just arrived in Turin and still needed some time to get familiar with the team; after all, the team had added some new players, such as attacking midfielder Sgrigna who had only been with the team for 5 days, and striker Bernacci who had only reported to Turin 3 days ago, they still lacked some understanding with the team.

  Moreover, Torino did not fall behind in the game. The possession rate of up to 57% proves Torino's control over the situation on the field. Moreover, one of the two goals scored by Varese was a direct free kick.

  So many people think that the Bulls' loss is just an accident, including head coach Lyle.

  But one loss can be considered an accident, what about two?

  The second round of the league, Torino away against Chievo.

  In this round, head coach Lyle Draud lined up a lineup that was basically the same as last time, leading the Bulls to play away from home with confidence. In this game, Chu Jiang was again excluded from the starting list.

  Last season, Chittadella also entered the final promotion playoffs like Torino, but unfortunately it was a pity that they failed to advance. In this sense, Chittadella and Torino can be considered as two brothers who are hard to distinguish.

  After the failure to upgrade, the Bulls recruited and strengthened their team, becoming the number one hot spot for upgrading in the new season. What about Chievo? Evaneco, who was brilliant in Chievo last season, is now playing under the Bulls' account. The main general Ademani and Petinari have joined Atlanta, Cherubin has transferred to Bologna, and the defensive midfielder Pesoli has gone to promoted horse Varese.

  Last year's Chievo, which was invincible, has now become unrecognizable and is even harder to find in the promotion odds chart. Compared with Torino, Chievo is already "a good man can't repeat his past bravery"!

  However, who would have thought that the highly-regarded Bulls suffered another setback and lost to the severely depleted Seattle SuperSonics, swallowing two consecutive defeats.

  The first leg match drew 15,000 fans to the Bulls' home stadium. However, that was at the Olympic Stadium in Turin. Clearly, Cittadella's drawing power was nowhere near that of the Bulls. At their own stadium, only 2,600 people showed up. Of those, 300 were traveling Bulls fans.

  To be fair, the Bulls' performance at the beginning of the game was still worthy of their fans who came from afar. Just 19 minutes into the game, Chievo's former player Ivanko led Torino to take the lead on the road.

  But just as Dalian people thought they would end the first half with a leading advantage, the situation suddenly changed.

  At the end of the first half, the home team scored two goals in three minutes by Nocentini and DalBona. In an instant, the situation on the field was greatly reversed, and the Bulls, who were leading by one goal, suddenly fell behind by one goal!

  What made the Bulls even more depressed was that the one who helped Chittagong take the lead was Ivenko, an old general of Chittagong, and the biggest contributor to Chittagong's reversal of the score was actually the Bulls' main goalkeeper Morello! It was his two consecutive terrible mistakes that created Chittagong's incredible comeback miracle, burying the Bulls' efforts for the entire game.

  Although Lillard replaced the stupid Morrello with a substitute in the second half, he was unable to reverse the loss. At that moment, Lillard couldn't help but miss Chou Jiang, who was far away in Turin, the magical boy who could save the Bulls in just 20 minutes. The 300 loyal fans who traveled to the away game also missed Chou Jiang. In the away game, they shouted Chou Jiang's name and strongly questioned the coach's tactics.

  After this match, the ambitious Toro has lost two games and become the only team in Serie B that has not scored a point after two rounds, creating the worst record in Torino's 104-year history. This shameful record naturally becomes a useful tool for Juventus fans to mock Toro supporters.

  In Turin city, bull's face sweeps the floor!

  In the post-match ratings, both Toronews and Tuttotoro unexpectedly gave goalkeeper Morrelo a rating of 4.5, making him the worst player on the field for Torino. In their view, the biggest problem for Toro is indeed the goalkeeper Morrelo. If this issue is not resolved, Torino's desire to rise up will only be a joke.

  After that game, Morello completely lost the trust of LirA. He was benched by the head coach and sent to the reserve team, where he continued to reflect on his mistakes.

  At this point, time has come to August 29th, with only two days left until the end of the transfer period, and there is not much time left for Bulls to operate.

  For the current situation of Torino, Tuttosport gave the title: "Rubin, are you ready?"
