He enters the second extra time in place of an exhausted Singo and serves Adopo the ball that is worth the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup
Until last night Brian Bayeye was a sort of mysterious object for the fans of the Turin: in official matches, between the championship and the Italian Cup, he had practically never played (just 7 minutes against Palermo in August) and even against Milan he would have had to watch his teammates play from the bench. However, football is not predictable, so it happens that a Turin outnumbered due to the expulsion of Koffi Djidji manages to drag the match into extra time and that 9 minutes before the penalty shoot-out an exhausted Wilfried Single raise the white flag and ask for the field. Here then comes the opportunity of a lifetime for Bayeye, ready to enter on the right with the difficult task of stemming Theo’s accelerations on that wing Hernandez and Rafael Leao.
For Bayeye dream evening
Instead, another three minutes pass and a prairie opens up in front of Bayeye: the number 2 rushes forward without thinking about it, Lukic sees him and needs a ball on the run, at which point the full-back just has to do what he was doing until recently with the shirt Catanzaro: Run faster than your opponents on the wing. Certainly the Serie C fields are not like San Siro and the opponents are also different but Bayeye doesn’t think about it and runs. Or maybe, on the contrary, he thinks about it and I find it right in that stadium and in that opponent who is facing the forces to sprint even faster and serve Michel Aafter a ball that just needs to be pushed into the back of the net. Zero minutes in Serie A but a golden assist directly from La Scala against one of the most successful clubs in the world: the magic of football. And now Bayeye is enjoying the evening as a hero with the hope that that very assist could represent a new beginning for his adventure in Turin.
