Pandev’s fake shot was a real dunk, which staggered Domic. Before Domic’s center of gravity was adjusted, it was a powerful shot at the front of the restricted area. Napoli goalkeeper Biagio struggled to pounce on Pandev’s shot, but the angle of the ball was too sharp and the speed was extremely fast. He failed to jump at the ball, which flew into the goal with a strong spin.
Huge cheers broke out in the Olympic Stadium. More than 50,000 Lazio fans shouted the name of the goal hero Pandev crazily. Macedonians put their hands on their ears as they ran. To this day, Lazio fans still insist that their team was treated unfairly away from home. So today, they put out all their enthusiasm to cheer for the team, and whenever the Naples team takes the ball, it is natural to meet the Naples people with boos all over the sky. The cheers of the 10,000 Napoli fans in the stadium were also shattered by the 50,000 Lazio fans.
Zero to one! ! ! ! Only fifteen minutes into the game, Naples fell behind by one goal! ! ! ! ! ! Leia repented off the court, secretly blaming himself for putting the team’s top star Dominica and the No.2 star Hamsik on the bench at the same time.
After the goal, Lazio’s offensive was even stronger. Napoli’s defense could not contain Lazio, which has home court advantage. With the support of 50 thousand Lazio fans, they launched wave after wave of offensives. Pandev’s outstanding performance just now just played the first vigorous and powerful movement in Lazio’s offensive suite.
Biagio, who had just lost the ball, stood in front of the goal and looked nervously at the ball that kept falling at the feet of Lazio players. Fifty thousand Lazio fans shouted at the same time.
The loud noise almost suffocated him. He only felt his heart tremble as Lazio fans shouted wildly. Biagio forced himself to calm down, but he failed. He couldn’t calm himself down in this almost suffocating fanaticism.
The game went on until the 28th minute. Lavezzi managed to get a long-range shot from the front of the penalty area, but his shot did not pose any threat to his compatriot Lazio goalkeeper Carrizzo. Carrizzo threw the ball back, and full-back Radu took the ball to assist him. He made a one-on-one match with midfielder Mauri and ran along the side. As an assisted full-back, he has done a lot of such things. Seeing that all three strikers of our team stood in their positions and were ready to grab the point, he made a cross before savigny blocked it! ! !
But Radudi’s cross is of poor quality. The trajectory of the ball in the air is very flat and slow. It was easy for the goalkeeper to take it off in the air, and Biagio did get the ball from Radu.
But on the spot, when Rhea was preparing to breathe a sigh of relief, a sudden change happened! ! ! ! Biagio, who got the ball, didn’t hold the ball firmly in his hand without Lazio players forcing him to grab the ground. He got rid of it! ! ! !
Salat, the nearest to Biagio, paused and quickly came to her senses. With a clever kick, the football flew into the goal behind Biagio without any suspense.
Two to zero! ! ! ! Salat didn’t expect the Napoli goalkeeper to give such a big gift. He made a face at his teammates who came up to celebrate and shrugged his shoulders with his hands spread out. At the moment, the Olympic Stadium has become a sea of joy for Lazio fans. One goal! ! ! Just one goal and they will tie the total score! ! ! !
Biagio looked at the Lazio players who were celebrating crazily with a dull face. He was too nervous just now. I was so nervous that I couldn’t hold the ball that I could have easily taken off. Now he wants to kill himself with a knife. I finally got a chance to start, but I made such a low-level mistake. What will the head coach think of himself? Maybe I really want to sit on the bench in the future. Biagio thought sadly.
Leia sat on the coach’s bench with his head in his arms and simply didn’t want to watch the court. He also deeply blamed himself for not being so big and rotating so many important positions at once.
Lazio people continue to celebrate happily. When Rhea looked up, he saw some players on the field looking at himself. Others look somewhere on the bench and follow their eyes, and you will find that they are looking at Dommonica.
Rhea looked back at Dommonica sitting beside him, and Zena just looked at him. See the anxious look on the coach’s face. Qinan asked in a low voice, "Boss, do you need me to play?"
A simple sentence from Jina made Rhea settle down immediately. Yes! ! ! Don’t you still have a trump card in your hand that you haven’t played?
"More Monica. Is there a physical problem? If not, warm up and get ready to play in two minutes. " Rhea asked about Qinan’s physical condition.
"No. My physical strength has already recovered, and I went. " After that, Qinan Station got up, took off his thick tracksuit, wore only the long-sleeved jerseys inside, and went to the next runway to start some pre-playing warm-up activities.
While Qinan was still undressing for warm-up. Ten thousand Naples fans in the Olympic Stadium suddenly burst into earth-shattering cheers. The god in their hearts is finally coming out! ! ! !
Lazio fans, on the other hand, unknown so looked at Napoli fans who suddenly cheered. What made them so excited?
Seeing Domenica warming up, the Neapolitan players on the field were obviously relieved. Fortunately, there is Dominica, everyone thinks so. I don’t know when it started, but they have involuntarily regarded Domenica as the spiritual leader of the team and their own "reassurance". After Rome, AC Milan or Inter Milan? No one knows, anyway, it is in the subtle influence like the spring breeze and drizzle, and Dominica has become the person who can reassure them the most.
Two minutes later, Rhea replaced Brasi with Zinan. Let Cannavaro form a double waist with Qinan, and Lavezzi retreat to the midfield. The formation of Naples changed from 5-3-2 to 4-2-3-1.
Rhea’s substitution and change of formation received immediate results. In the last fifteen minutes of the first half, Lazio’s attack could no longer threaten Napoli’s goal.
With a total score of 2-3, Naples waited until the intermission. In the dressing room in Naples, Rhea expressed strong dissatisfaction with the performance of the whole team in the first half.
"Look at what you did in the first half before Dominica came up. Won’t you play football without Domonica? I admit that Domenica is very important to us, but please don’t form a dependence on him. I also hope that Domenica can play in every game, but everyone knows that this is impossible. He is as human as you, and he needs rest. Look at our defense line. Without the protection of Domenica, it is almost the same as "maginot line." Rhea paused to turn to Biagio and asked.
"Deni (Biagio), are you nervous?"
"well! ! Oh, no, "Biagio nodded, then woke up and shook his head quickly.
"I don’t care if you are nervous in the first half, I just hope to see a Deni who can block all Lazio shots in the second half. You know what will happen if you let me down, don’t you? " Rhea threw this sentence at Biagio and didn’t see him again. Biagio was left alone to meditate.
"Well, wake up in the first half of the sleepwalking. We are only one goal ahead. I don’t want to see another goal conceded in the second half. Not only can we not concede a goal, but we should also score a goal, because a goal lead is always the most unsafe. Let’s forget the lead of this goal and play as if we are still behind! ! ! Come on, boys! ! ! ！”
Volume III
Chapter one hundred and fifty-three-Rhea’s distress
As soon as the half-time started, Lazio continued the keynote of the first-half onslaught. Like the last ten minutes and five minutes in the first half, the resistance they encountered in the attack increased obviously.
Mauri, the core of Lazio midfielder, took the ball and pushed it from the middle like a sharp knife. However, even if the sharp knife hit Domonica, the Neapolitan iron shield, it would only be helpless. Zina clung to Mauri, and Mauri found it difficult to turn around, but Mauri’s protection of the ball was really good, and Zina failed to try to break the ball around. Mauri had no choice but to pass the ball to ledesma on the wing. Although Ravizi is thin and thin, he is not a player who is good at defense, but he is still entangled with ledesma without hesitation. He does not expect to break ledesma’s ball, but only hopes to get some preparation time for the defense behind him. Sure enough, savigny took advantage of ledesma’s entanglement with Lavezzi when he suddenly stepped forward and broke the ball. Lavezzi immediately gave up the entanglement with ledesma and galloped to Lazio’s half at full speed along the sidewalk. Napoli launched a counterattack on the spot.
Lavezzi was suspended for two games for clapping the referee in the last round of the league, so he didn’t want to save his strength in this game. Because in the next ten days, he will have no ball to play.
Savigny passed the ball to Lavezzi, who stepped forward decisively, and quickly returned to his defensive position. He was not an assisted full-back, and even if he went up, he could not help Lavezzi. Instead, it will leave an opportunity for the opponent.
Lavezzi’s ball was broken by Megney without taking it too far, but he didn’t lose heart at all, and immediately launched a counter-grab in situ, and finally he forced it. Megney took the ball out of the line. Argentines actively defended and attacked with unremitting running, turning the left side into a corridor for him alone.
Not only on the left, but also on the right of Naples has regained its vitality. Montevino’s skill seems to suddenly return to his previous level. While defending steadily, he can also help Zalayeta from time to time in the attack.
Gargano in the middle can now completely focus on the attack, and spend more energy on the classics, so he has no worries at all. And with gargano’s devotion to the organization, Napoli’s attack has obviously improved. From Zalayeta’s shooting data, it can be seen that Zalayeta, as a single striker, has scored three shots only fifteen minutes into the second half. In the whole first half, the Uruguayan had only one poor shot. In terms of possession rate, Naples has also increased significantly. In the first half, their possession time was only 29%. Now the ball control rate has reached 43%. In the first half, after the defense line broke the ball, it only dared to send it to the frontcourt with big feet, and it was a kind of aimless delivery. The success rate of frontcourt players receiving the ball can be imagined. Now you can safely give Domenica the ball in the back line. It’s up to Domenica to take the ball and pass it. His control of the ball in the backcourt is very reassuring, calm and elegant. Lazio strikers like Pandev Salat can’t directly fight back by breaking the ball from his feet. Instead, he stopped or detained him.
Watching Domenica run in front of him on a large scale, killing most of Lazio’s attacks directly near the center line, Domic, maldonado and grava felt that the feeling of lack of confidence in the first half could never be found again. The attacks that Domonica failed to stop were also calmly resolved by them. Perhaps this is the power of a leader? Domonica, like the holy blessing in online games, instantly upgraded everyone’s status in Naples to a higher level. It was the delicacy of Domenica that reconciled the roughness of Cannavaros, and it was the scalpel-like accuracy of Domenica’s passing that allowed Ravizzarayeta to find the coordinates of the attack. It was Dominika who was as quiet as a virgin and stopped the impetuousness of gargano.
The second half lasted twenty minutes. Lazio players on the field finally found that the strength of Napoli team with Domonica seemed to suddenly rise by more than one grade. Don’t try to get what you want in the first half easily. Lazio even have few chances to break into the restricted area of Naples.
Sixty-seven minutes into the game, Lazio finally broke through Pandev and won a free kick in front of the penalty area. Cannavaro made a foul while defending him. In fact, this was originally a goal that could be judged or not. It is too common to pull like this in Serie A.. But this is the Olympic stadium. Lazio’s home court, the referee can’t help looking after the home team.
"Deni, relax, are you still afraid of free kicks? You’ve jumped at least a thousand free kicks in this month, haven’t you? Do you think Lazio’s free kick is better than mine? " While the referee was still reminding Naples of the human wall, Qinan walked beside Biagio and said. He saw from Biagio’s slightly tense facial expression that the Italian big man was still a little nervous.
"No, I can hold it." Dommonica’s encouraging words made Biagio’s heart settle down immediately. He was really a little nervous just now.
Dominica is one year younger than me. People can be so calm. Why can’t I? Biagio, come on
Sure, your dream is to become a world-class goalkeeper, and your dream is to represent Italy in the World Cup. If you can’t overcome such a small difficulty, how can you be qualified to realize your childhood dream? Come on, you can do it! ! ! ! Biagio shouted loudly in his heart, cheering himself up in this way.
"Come on" unconsciously, he shouted the sound of refueling from the bottom of his heart. Qina was about to turn around and leave when he was suddenly startled by Biagio’s loud refueling.
Qinan looked back at Biagio, who smiled shyly. However, on his face with a shy smile, he can’t see tension now, and he can’t see confusion anymore. His firm eyes told Qinan that Biagio was no longer afraid.
"Believe in yourself, you can do better, Deni! ! ! I threw the ball at my position for the first time, and we launched a quick counterattack. " Qina pointed to his heart and said. Smiling brightly at Biagio, he ran to his defensive position.
Biagio looked gratefully at Qinan’s running back. Domonica, I will do better. Biagio said this in his heart. Two young men communicated wordlessly in this way on the court.
The wall in Naples was lined up, and Lazio was given this free kick by Megni. The quality of Megney’s free kick is very high. It’s like Zidane taking a free kick. The arc of the free kick is flat and fast, so it is difficult for the goalkeeper to judge the direction, and it is also difficult to get it if you judge the right direction, because when you start to move, the ball has already crossed the wall and reached the goal. It can be seen that Megni should have deliberately studied and imitated Zidane. If god doesn’t look like it, at least it looks like it.
