Chapter 48: The Competition Begins

Chapter 48: The game begins

Pirlo made a long pass from the backcourt, Marchisio drove straight in after receiving the ball, and passed the ball before the central midfielder Donadelle came up to press.

Vucinic at the front of the penalty area received the ball and did not bring it into the penalty area immediately. He knocked the ball back.Vidal, who was plugged in behind, rushed up and unceremoniously shot a long shot and hit the goal directly.

"Vucinic returned a pass, and Vidal took a long shot - the ball hit the crossbar and flew out of the baseline. Juventus attacked aggressively as soon as they came up, and completed a threatening shot in 15 seconds. Vidal's foot The long-range shots are of great quality and we all know he is the number one long-range shooter in the Juventus team."

Vidal didn't expect the quality of this long-range shot to be so good. He just wanted to give the opponent a shock through this method, so that they would have lingering fears in the center of the game later.

After Naples goalkeeper De Sanctis kicked off, the Naples team immediately counterattacked.Their midfield possession is not as good as Juventus, so they generally use direct passes or England's long passes to avoid their edge.

Li Zihan watched with admiration off the court. Has Naples coach Mazari read Sun Tzu's Art of War or 36 Strategies?
Campagnaro made a direct long pass to the frontcourt. Although this way of passing the ball is easy to cause loss of the ball, but because the frontcourt organization Hamsik has a high sense of grabbing points and observation, coupled with long-term cooperation, This reduced their conceded goals by [-]%.

Sure enough, Hamsik started to move after watching the arc of Campagnaro's kick, and the ball started to drop as soon as he ran to the position.Before the ball fell completely, Hamsik took off directly and then ferryed the ball with his header.

Cavani in the frontcourt easily received Hamsik's ferry ball, and then suddenly accelerated.Cavani's skills are actually mediocre, but he excels in speed. His speed and explosiveness are only a little lower than that of the perverted Li Zihan, but his strong body ensures that he can run rampant like a tank.

Cavani, who suddenly accelerated, easily passed Pirlo, which is not as good as Pirlo.It's that Pirlo, who is in his early thirties, is already very slow in speed, plus he is not a professional defensive midfielder.

Just when the commentator thought that Cavani would easily break into the penalty area and give Juventus a good look.Bonucci rushed out from inside the penalty area, and Barzagli quickly made up for it.

Bonucci, who rushed out, fell to the ground and tackled the ball at the first time. The ball was destroyed by Bonucci first, and Cavani was also tackled to the ground by the opponent.

Cavani raised his hands high to signal a foul, and the away Naples fans in the stands also shouted "Penalty kick!".In fact, they also know that the place where the ball was destroyed is still far from the penalty area. They did this only to interfere with the referee's thinking and judgment, so as to make a judgment that is beneficial to their team.

The German shook his head smiling at Cavani, then poked his eyes at Cavani with the index and middle fingers of his right hand—I could see clearly that he tackled the ball first, which was a reasonable collision , get up quickly!

Cavani got up from the ground resentfully, and then ran back.Of course he knew that the opponent did not foul. This was a beautiful tackle. Like the fans, he just wanted to give the referee the illusion of a misjudgment, so that he would have the initiative to judge the referee in the following games.

After all, as long as there are no match-fixing and black calls, the referee knows that he has made a misjudgment and will take care of the unfairly treated side in the following games. This is called finding a balance.

Time passed by every minute and every second, the two sides played very stalemate, and Naples kept sending threatening through balls.And Juventus also kept passing and cooperating through the midfield press, putting pressure on the opponent's penalty area bit by bit.

Finally, at No. 12 minutes, Juventus found a chance.

Asamoah made a cross after breaking through the sideline, and Vidal at the top of the arc in the penalty area got the ball unguarded.Then he straightened his good left foot, and the goalkeeper De Sanctis was shocked. He judged that this was a prerequisite for a long-range shot.

He quickly shouted at the central defender Mesto in front of him: "Vidal is going to shoot from a long distance."

Mesto rushed over immediately, and when it was too late to grab the ball, he decisively blocked the only way between the ball and the goal with his body.

Just when he was worried and hoped that Vidal would not use too much force, Vidal put down his left foot that was about to kick the ball, and quickly raised his right foot to strike horizontally.

Vucinic next to him received the ball, and then dribbled the ball hard before Grava had fully reacted.

Finally, he came to the front of the small penalty area and hit the goal directly. Campagnaro had no time to make a steal, but the goalkeeper De Sanctis was focused.He decisively rushed to the left foot of the goal, and the ball was blocked by his body and bounced into the small penalty area.

Campaniaro was shocked and decisive, and he made a clearance first.

At this time, the Naples players in the penalty area breathed a sigh of relief, but De Sanctis cursed: "Fuck, how did you fall to the ground? How can Vidal receive a pass in such a good position?" What about the ball? What if the reaction is slower and he shoots directly from a long distance?"

Facing his teammates' accusations, Zuniga did not get angry. He smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, it was my fault. Don't worry, there will be no next time. I will definitely keep an eye on this kid."

When there is a loophole in the defense, the goalkeeper who directs the defense in the penalty area has the right to be held accountable, because such a large stadium is the only place where the goalkeeper has absolute land, just like the king has authority in the palace.

Zuniga took the initiative to apologize and take responsibility, and DeSanctis did not continue to dig into the bottom line.That would cause conflicts among his teammates, and he was not a fledgling kid anymore.

The ball that was cleared by Campagnaro did not fly out of the baseline and sidelines, but flew towards the midfield.Cavani, who did not return to defense in the frontcourt, immediately found the ball's landing point, while Pirlo followed closely.

At the bottom of the arc in the middle circle, the ball fell, Cavani took off to fight for the ball, and Pirlo also jumped to grab the ball.Cavani, as strong as a buffalo, squeezed Pirlo down in the air, and then he knocked the ball forward with his forehead.

Pirlo, who landed on the ground, saw this action, and he took the first step towards the ball that was pushed by Cavani, and Cavani, who had just landed, quickly followed.

Just when Pirlo was about to receive the ball, relying on speed and explosiveness, Cavani came from behind, poked the ball forward again with the toe of his right foot, and then accelerated to keep up.

At this time, Pirlo, who obviously felt unable to keep up, decisively chose to foul, and he grabbed Cavani's jersey vigorously.Then Cavani, who was supposed to run forward at high speed, did not run up.

And with the strength of Pirlo's pulling, he leaned back and fell to the ground.

Pirlo was startled and let go quickly. He knew that he was not strong enough to drag such a big Cavani to the ground, but he was afraid of the referee.

At this time, the sharp-eyed German referee whistled decisively to signal Pirlo to foul.

Then the Naples fans in the stands roared.

"Foul! Foul!"

"Red card! Red card!".
The Juventus supporters at home immediately fought back.

"Fart red card!"

"Dive! Dive!"

The on-site commentator said: "Although Pirlo did commit a foul, such a big Cavani should not be pulled to the ground by the opponent with such a small force. Of course, the reason for his unstable center of gravity cannot be ruled out."

At the scene of the incident, Pirlo, who watched the referee running over, stretched out his hand friendly and wanted to pull Cavani on the ground.

And the players from Naples crowded around nervously, thinking that Pirlo was planning to do something wrong.
Cavani angrily knocked off Pirlo's outstretched hand, but did not accept the other party's "good intentions", and stood up with the support of his teammates.

And Pirlo was not angry, he smiled friendlyly at the opposing players and the referee.

On the bench, Conte said to Li Zihan: "See? Li, this is experience. After Andrea made a foul, he showed kindness to the opponent and stretched out his hand to pull the opponent. These actions are extra points in the eyes of the referee. Behavior, so the referee's penalty after the event is generally not too strict."

Li Zihan nodded, he lacks the experience on these courts now.So on the bench, he was also observing both sides carefully, trying to learn something.

In the end, the referee did not give Pirlo a red card as the Naples fans wished, not even a yellow card, and only awarded Naples a frontcourt free kick.

This ball is at least sixty yards away from the goal, and even free kick masters like Beckham, Juninho or Pirlo can hardly hit it.

"Black whistle, absolute black whistle!"

"The son of a bitch, the German must have accepted the red envelope from Juventus."

The Naples supporters quit, they cursed the referee in the stands

The Juventus fans shouted that the referee is wise and powerful.

Naples coach Mazzari on the coaching bench of the visiting team also heard the scolding of the fans, and he almost yelled at these guys.

In recent years, scandals such as betting and match-fixing in Italian football have continued, and the Italian Football Association and the referee committee have introduced many foreign referees from abroad.Among them, the serious and rigorous German referees and the always fair and impartial Swiss referees are the key targets of introduction. However, the Naples fans can understand their uncomfortable mood in normal times, but under the special circumstances of the past few years, you are not playing. The face of foreign referees, football associations and referees!
Don't try to bully foreign referees who don't understand Italian, they have passed the Italian training before taking up the job with a certificate.

Sure enough, the head referee from Germany turned black when he heard the insulting language vented by the fans' anger.He can't argue and scold the fans, but ignore those crazy fans.

But it is conceivable that the Naples players will be able to drink a pot in the next game.
