Chapter 117 The biggest favorite to win the championship

"The ball went in! Goed in!!"

PP sports commentator Zhan Jun shouted impassionedly: "De Bruyne took a short corner kick, and Martin sent the iconic cross from the outside of the left rib to bypass the front point of the key defense and find a high jump Naldo! Defensive stalwart Naldo lived up to Martin's expectations, he headed the ball to the upper left corner of the goal."

Naldo, who scored a goal, was very excited.

He opened his arms and ran excitedly towards Martin who sent the assist.

Hei Jin, who was standing in the command area of ​​the coach of the visiting team, finally let out a sigh of relief.

A valuable away goal in the away game!

It means that if Naples wants to reverse and advance, they must score four goals in the remaining game time!

And don't lose the ball!
Naples coach Benitez pursed his lips and closed his eyes in pain.

There is still a lot of time left for his team, but Wolfsburg is clearly on the rise, and it is very difficult to score consecutive goals in one go.

The resentful little eyes locked on Martin again.

De Bruyne's coming off the bench also poses a certain threat, but he always feels that Martin's role is greater.

Bendtner's sweep pass in the penalty area came from Martin's oblique long pass to find De Bruyne, and Naldo's header was also directly assisted by Martin.

The Naples fans at the San Paolo Stadium are still full of confidence in the home team. They cheered the team with thunderous applause, hoping that the beloved team can regain its strength and score again.

In fact, many fans at home knew as early as the end of the first round that it was unrealistic to advance to the Europa League semi-finals this season. They chose to come to the St. Paul Stadium to cheer for the home team, purely hoping to see the team play their own style at home.

Really loving a team has never been about loving his success or failure, but more about loving his temperament.

The temperament of Naples is what they like.

The on-site director restored Wolfsburg's goal to narrow the point difference. Fans watching the live broadcast of the game can fully experience the exquisiteness of Martin's instep cross. the previous point.

PP sports commentator Zhan Junlang said: "Watching Martin pass the ball is a kind of enjoyment!"

"Indeed."

Guest commentator Li Yuankui nodded and said: "It is also with the back of the right foot to pass the ball. Martin can bypass the opponent's player and find his teammates accurately. It is certainly not accidental that he can set the Bundesliga and even the European single-season assist record. His passing skills have reached miraculous. to the point of!"

The second round of the Europa League quarter-finals at the San Paolo Stadium restarted. Naples, which gained the kick-off advantage, still attacked with no spare effort, as if to be the same as Wolfsburg Stud.

The role of Martin's partner Gustavo as a double midfielder is also reflected at this time.

The two work together, one is responsible for sweeping and the other is responsible for filling.

Sometimes they will tacitly change their responsibilities according to changes in the situation to ensure the safety of the space in front of the central defender.

The central defender was protected in front of him, Naples' central attack was paralyzed, and the offensive threat organized by Mertens and Hamsik in series dropped significantly.

There was no way to create a threat in the middle, and the attack was forced to move to the wing.

Far and wide from the goal, it is difficult to create a murderous opportunity when Higuain is closely guarded.

The two wingers of Wolfsburg will strictly implement the game tasks assigned by Hei Jin, and the recovery rate is deeper than that of the full-backs.

In the face of a proactive defense, Naples' offense lacks enough changes.

Benitez stood in the coaching area of ​​the home team and paced back and forth, his brain running at high speed.

After thinking about it for a long time, there is no good solution.

Therefore, the two sides will attack and defend each other for a long time to come, and you will come and go.

Both created shooting opportunities, but unfortunately they were all completed under the interference of the opponent's defensive players, so that they failed to threaten the goal.

The time passed by second by second, and it soon came to 10 minutes. The scoreboard showed that the score was still 2:1, and the home team was ahead.

There are 10 minutes left in the time left for Naples, and the players on the field no longer have hope for promotion.

They are still working hard to create offensive opportunities, in order to complete a hearty victory at home, in order to bid farewell to all the efforts in the Europa League this season.

Competitive sports are so cruel, there will always be only one who laughs last.

Naples is on the offensive, and Wolfsburg can only avoid it.

Until the 80th minute of the game, Wolfsburg made the last adjustment of the game, Schurrle replaced Caligiuri.

This adjustment has a clear implication, which is to create scoring opportunities to equalize the score by adjusting the strength of the wide players!
The Wolfsburg fans who accompanied the team on the expedition were in high spirits, even if the score was behind.

The quarter-finals of the Europa League are two rounds. The 1:4 victory in the first round left a huge room for the second round.

Losing to Naples 1:2 can also advance to the semi-finals of this season's Europa League by virtue of the advantage of the total score!

However, as a professional player, you don't want to win.

Competitive sports itself is full of competition. This is the reason why the so-called culture is not the first and martial arts is the second.

Wolfsburg made three substitution adjustments throughout the game, and Benitez also began to deploy troops to use up the remaining two substitution places.

"aoaoaoooooo—"

The fanatical atmosphere at the San Paolo Stadium was always high, and the shouts were released one after another.

In the stands of their diehard fans, they are still singing the most popular song "'O Surdato 'Nnammurato" among fans.

The translation is: soldiers in love.

The fanatical home atmosphere has brought great motivation to the home team Naples players.

Hamshik, Mertens, and Callejon played consecutive exquisite cooperation in the midfield. Callejon, who received the football, planned to replicate the previous world wave goal that expanded the score.

He received Hamshik's point before the arc top of the penalty area and made a slight adjustment, and directly bent his bow and set his arrow.

At this moment, a leg was just across the path of Callejon's shot.

The kicked football was blocked back, and it happened to fall in the area covered by Gustavo who was replaced.

He used his strong body to block the position first, not giving Lopez a chance to step forward, and then gave the ball to Ricardo Rodriguez on the left.

As soon as De Bruyne opened up the space to receive the ball, Ricardo Rodriguez passed the ball over.

As we all know, De Bruyne is the absolute core of Wolfsburg, and he is the Wolfsburg player who should be paid the most attention from offense to defense.

De Bruyne has long been accustomed to the attention of defensive players. He used his superb foot skills to throw off Jorginho's defense, and then sent a very imaginative through ball.

The football running close to the ground passes directly from Wolfsburg's defensive left rib to the right through the Naples double central defenders, and reaches the offensive right rib.

"Schuerle!!"

Schurrle, who came off the bench in the second half, took the through ball sent by De Bruyne forward, used his speed advantage to forcibly throw Bristol away, and faced goalkeeper Andujar single-handedly.

"wuwuwuuuuu——"

Schurrle, who was running at full speed, ignored the wild boos from the home fans, and he dribbled the ball to the right rib of the penalty area and directly completed an explosive shot.

Andujar felt the terrifying aura rushing towards his face, and his instinctive reaching out was still half a beat behind.

The powerful football passed the outside of his left arm at high speed and hit the upper corner of the goal.

"2:2!"

German Sky TV commentator Marcel Leif shouted: "Kevin De Bruyne assisted Andre Schurrle to score! The total score became 6:2!"

Schurrle, who scored the goal, was extremely excited. He opened his arms and ran all the way to the corner flag area on the offensive right, celebrating the goal by sliding and kneeling.

The coach of the visiting team commanded the area and the bench players rejoiced and celebrated the goal crazily.

The scoreboard display also changed from 2:1 to 2:2.

It turned out that Benitez, who was still standing in the command area of ​​the coach of the visiting team, completely accepted the reality and returned to the coach's bench.

The three substitutions have been completed long ago, and the tactics that need to be adjusted have also been deployed in a targeted manner.

The rest of the game should be done by the players on the field.

The Wolfsburg players who appeared on the broadcast screen were happy like children, raising their arms and shouting.

The Naples players shook their heads and sighed. They had worked hard in the past 80 minutes, but they still couldn't beat Wolfsburg.

The fans of the home team at the St. Paul Stadium were very sorry. After a short period of self-adjustment, they gave a huge shout to the players on the stadium.

The four-goal defeat in the first round, returning to the home court in the second round is also likely to be difficult to reverse the defeat.

It was just two goals in the second half that gave them hope.

It's a pity that the appearance of Martin and De Bruyne brought changes to Wolfsburg that made the home team fans feel desperate.

Hei Jin's substitutions are completely said to be substitutions like changing knives, two substitutions get two assists.

The game restarted, and Naples once again showed the advantage of taking advantage of the kick-off to pose a threat to Wolfsburg's defensive half amidst the cheers of the home fans.

The defensive system led by Martin, Gustavo and Naldo cannot be said to be impregnable, but at least the defense is solid, and it does not give Naples players too good opportunities to organize offensively.

The protection of the center and the two ribs is particularly in place, which caused Higuain to have no room to hold the ball at all.

He played very uncomfortable as if he was back in the first leg in the public arena.

As the game approached 10 and [-] minutes, most of the players on both sides suffered a severe decline in physical fitness. In addition, they each had an important league game on the weekend. They played the rest of the game tacitly after trying a few waves of offense without receiving ideal results.

Of course, this kind of tacit understanding is not about each other, but that the two sides come and go, and the point ends.

The offense looks very threatening, but in fact it is not the opponent's goalkeeper's turn to do the work.

Just after 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee Majic blew his whistle to signal the end of the Europa League quarter-final second leg between Naples and Wolfsburg.

Wolfsburg advanced to the semi-finals of this season's Europa League with a total score of 6:2 in the two rounds.

The results of the other three quarter-final second legs came to an end a few minutes later.

Sevilla drew 2:2 with Zenit as a guest and advanced with a total score of 4:3.

Fiorentina defeated Dynamo Kiev 2:0 at home, and reached the semi-finals with a total score of 3:1.

The rookie Dnipro beat Bruges 1:0 at home, and the total score of the two rounds of the two teams was also 1:0.

At noon the next day, when Wolfsburg took a flight back to Hannover, the UEFA headquarters started the draw ceremony for the 2014-2015 UEFA Champions League semi-finals and Europa League semi-finals.

As usual, the UEFA Champions League semi-final draw was the first to start, and the Spanish national derby that the media and fans wanted to see did not appear.

Barcelona and Bayern are drawn together, and the rest of Juventus and Real Madrid are grouped together.

The Europa League semi-final draw will follow.

Wolfsburg drew the Ukrainian Super League team Dnipro, which is the match between the biggest favorite and the team with the lowest probability of winning the Europa League this season.

Sevilla is teaming up with Fiorentina to fight for a place in the Europa League final.
