Hero of the Penalty Area

The 224th chapter finds the way (first one, ask for a monthly pass!)

It is easy to shout slogans, but it is difficult to put them into action.

After all, this is an away game.

The name of the "Dream Theatre" at Old Trafford is aimed at Manchester United players. For those who come here as guests, this is not a good place.

The loud noise made by 60,000 Manchester United fans in the stands is enough to make any visiting team feel great pressure here.

It's just that the guest here today is different from other teams.

Naples has reasons and beliefs that must win.

If it was Real Madrid who won the game yesterday and advanced to the final, then maybe Napoli's fighting spirit has not been so strong.

It was precisely because Barcelona entered the final that the hatred of the Naples team was blazing, and ten fire brigades could not be extinguished.

The enemy is in front, just waiting at Wembley Stadium. How could they lose before the final finish line?

Not to mention that Manchester United is blocking them, even if the whole world is blocking them, they have to break through!

The world cannot stop the Neapolitans from revenge!

We were eliminated by that means, do you think this is the end of the matter?

This kind of shame, every minute and every second I dare not forget!

※※※

Manchester United really intends to kill at their home court, and Naples' defensive counterattack is also in Ferguson's plan.

So when Naples held steady, Ferguson was not surprised. Now that the opponent has made up his mind to defend and counterattack... Then Ferguson is not in a hurry.

Anyway, Manchester United only needs one goal to eliminate Napoli with an away goal. He wanted to see who could be more patient than anyone else.

Manchester United is not in a hurry, and is slowly dealing with Naples at home.

And Naples is not anxious in the face of Manchester United, and also behaves very calmly, seemingly less anxious than Manchester United.

In fact, this is exactly what Mazzari hopes to achieve.

Use Naples to make this posture to slow down the attacking rhythm. This way the pressure on the team's defense will be less.

Maybe you can lose the ball as late as possible.

He analyzed it carefully, and 0:0 in the first half should be acceptable for Manchester United. And 0:0 in the first half is also a good thing for Naples.

Therefore, in the entire first half, the two sides had a "very tacit understanding" of dealing with each other, and it became a 0:0.

"Perhaps the game is more important, it is related to the life and death of the two teams, so whether it is the home team Manchester United or the away team Naples, both sides played very conservatively. The first half of this game was not very exciting, it can even be said. It's a bit boring... It's understandable. After all, it is an important game like the Champions League semi-finals, and it is directly related to who can enter the final... But!" He Ping changed the front. "For our Chinese fans who stay up late or get up to watch this game in the middle of the night, this dull first half is too disappointing. The game is slow and there are no exciting scenes. Everyone must be sleepy. ..."

"I think I suddenly understood Mazzari's arrangement..." In Italy, the commentator said when he saw Mazzari's close-up on the TV. On the TV screen, Mazzari had a smile on his face, obviously he was satisfied with the first half. "For Naples, even if the match is 0:0, they will advance. So he has no reason to be anxious. But Manchester United is different... They need a goal. I don't know what Ferguson thinks. But in the first half, such a waste of time and offensive opportunities really shouldn't be..."

※※※

In fact, Ferguson has already noticed this problem. He discovered Mazari's trick, and he accidentally fell into a trap carefully arranged by Mazari!

This made him very angry.

He has been playing in European football for more than 20 years, but he was tricked by a young junior.

In the second half, we can't go on like that with Naples, we have to attack! Attack vigorously!

Mazzari also thought of this, so during the intermission, he reminded everyone to pay special attention to Manchester United's attack in the second half.

"The time is only forty-five minutes, boys, I want to congratulate you for your excellent performance in the first half, for not allowing Manchester United to score, so that the initiative is still in our hands. But the second half will not be as easy as the first half. Now. You have to be prepared, especially the back line. The pressure we will endure in the second half will be several times that of the first half!"

Mazzari looked serious and made everyone aware of the seriousness of this matter.

"This is a contest of will, lads. Our strength is not inferior to them. But this is their home court, and they may perform miracles at any time... So no matter what happens, you must not waver, keep your ground! At the same time, ours The counterattack must be sharper."

Having said that, he turned his head to look at Chen Yingxiong.

As the end point and bridgehead of the team's offense, Chen Yingxiong has a very heavy task. In the first half, because both sides mainly dealt with in the midfield, nothing happened to Chen Yingxiong.

But the second half was different. Regardless of whether it is for the purpose of scoring goals or for the purpose of reducing defensive pressure, Napoli's offense must be improved. In this case, Chen Yingxiong's task is naturally heavy.

Seeing the coach looking at him, Chen Yingxiong stood up and threw his fist down: "Don't worry, sir. Manchester United must die!"

There was a burst of laughter in the dressing room.

Mazari couldn't help but smile.

This hero Chen is a real treasure.

※※※

When the second half of the game began, the two sides returned to the court. Even anyone who doesn't understand the ball can tell that Manchester United has stepped up the offensive.

The happiest people are of course the Manchester United fans.

Amid the frantic voice of the home team fans, Manchester United launched a wave of offensives against the Naples penalty area, just like a turbulent wave.

The Italian commentator was worried about the status quo in Naples.

"Rooney shot--" he exclaimed. Although De Sanctis finally picked the football off, he still said with lingering fear: "Naples can't always be beaten so passively. If it goes on like this... living."

※※※

Of course, Naples knows this truth.

But they need time.

Chen Yingxiong has already withdrawn again and again, and this position has been withdrawn after the middle circle.

But he is still running, looking for and waiting for opportunities. He keeps in mind what Raul said to him last round. A good shooter can create opportunities to score goals even if there is no chance. Always count on the support of teammates, that is the idea of ​​the incompetent.

His thoughts and actions are also the epitome of the whole of Naples.

The situation is really bad, the situation is difficult, Manchester United's offensive is very fierce. However, none of the Naples team gave up and was shaken.

I have to say that the power of revenge is so powerful that it supports them. Even if they are constantly thrown up by violent winds and waves, the small boat in Naples has not been completely sunk. It is often after a wave has passed. Only then did they discover that they broke through the waves again from below the surface of the water!

What the head coach Mazzari said during the intermission sounded in everyone's heart.

"Remember, boys. Manchester United only needs one ball to make us fall into desperation. But in the same way, we only need one ball to make Manchester United fall to hell! So we don’t pursue the number of goals, I just Pursue quality! One ball! Only one ball can beat them! Especially towards the end of the game..."

Yes, with just one ball, Naples will have a complete advantage.

At that time the total score will become 3:1, Naples leading two goals, not to mention, also offset the Manchester United away goal. If Manchester United wants to advance, at least they have to come 2:1 and drag the game into overtime, otherwise...there will be no show. And as long as Naples scores another goal, the difficulty of Manchester United is not as simple as scoring another goal, but doubles.

※※※

Twenty minutes into the second half of the game, the score on the court is still 0:0. In these twenty minutes, Naples has experienced many, many dangerous scenes. The whole team of Naples is defensive with an eye-catching consciousness. In addition to their hands, they will use any part of their body to stop Manchester United's shots.

Even the English commentator had to admit: "This Naples is really tough..."

As the 0:0 score lasted longer and longer, Manchester United players became more and more impatient.

However, behind the increasing number of counterattacks by Naples, the quality has also improved.

There is already a faint threat to Manchester United's defense...

In the 67th minute, Mazari replaced Raul with Cassano, so that Napoli’s frontcourt attack lineup was Chen Yingxiong in the middle, Arshavin on the right, Cassano to the left, Sanchez to the right midfielder, Hamsey Ke played the left midfielder, and then De Jong in the middle.

This lineup is obviously more suitable for counterattack than Raul on the left.

Mazari is about to exert his strength.

※※※

After Cassano played, Naples counterattacked more people, and the threat was naturally greater. Of course, Manchester United has also made targeted adjustments. They also pay attention to defense when attacking, and will not allow Chen Yingxiong, Cassano and others to easily get single-handed opportunities.

If Naples has fewer offensive counterattacks now, even if it is a counterattack, due to the increase in the number of people invested and the strengthening of Manchester United's defense, it looks more like a battle of positions...

The game lasted until the 80th minute, and the score was still 0:0. Ferguson was a bit unable to sit still. He got up from his seat, stood on the sidelines, frowned, and chewed gum hard.

All it takes is one goal... one goal!

※※※

In the 84th minute, Naples got a strange counterattack opportunity like that.

When Naples pushed the football to the opponent's 30-meter area, Manchester United had already had many players back to the defense, and many of the four defenders were in their positions. At the same time, Anderson and Gibson had also returned to their positions. on.

On the Naples side, there was Hamsik who came up with the ball, while Sanchez was running towards the bottom line. At the same time, he raised his hand to signal Hamsik and pass the ball to him.

Arshavin moved to the center by himself in order to make time for him. Of course, did this soon occupy Chen Yingxiong's space? So he won't really come to the middle, his goal is the ribs.

Cassano, like Sanchez, is very close to the wing, but he can rush into the penalty area at any time to find opportunities to meet his teammates.

Where is Manchester United? Evans and Vidic firmly entangled the hero Chen who was at the forefront.

Right-back Rafael da Silva was pulled aside by Cassano and got stuck in the route of Cassano's interior. If Cassano were to cut inside, he would be able to respond immediately.

On the other side, Evra is guarding, his defensive pressure is a little bit higher, because Arshavin and Sanchez are attacking here at the same time.

He can neither care about Sanchez nor Arshavin, so he is between the ribs and the sidewalk so that both sides can get there in time.

Anderson held the ball against Hamsik, while Gibson supported him in the middle.

This is what Hamsik is facing now. This is definitely not a "counterattack", it has become a battle of positions.

It is impossible for him to let the football stay under his feet for too long, and other Manchester United players are not just standing in front of the wooden stakes watching the play.

They must find a solution before they return to defense, find a way, a way to goals and victory, and a way to Wembley Stadium.

So what should Hamsik do?

ps, the outbreak has come, the outbreak has come again! !

Begging *** ah begging ***! Almost falling out of the top ten in the overall ranking...
