Chapter 116 Three central defenders and three midfielders!
"how is this possible?!"

Benitez's face was full of surprise.

He was not surprised by Joao Mario's shot, because he knew that this small midfielder with a market price of more than 4000 million euros did have the offensive ability to insert in the back row, and his surprise was all aimed at the No. 18.

As a recognized model of love and dedication in football, Benitez is an out-and-out workaholic. In order to deal with this game, he began to study the tactics of Sporting Lisbon three weeks ago. Lu Feng, who has been in a hot state for half a season, has devoted a lot of energy.

On Lu Feng, Benitez put a very clear label on him:
His job is a left winger, but he can also serve as a right winger, a shadow forward, or a forward striker in a counterattack. His shooting skills in the penalty area are quite superb. In addition, he also showed outstanding ability in fighting for headers that does not match his height.

But...in this attack just now, why did he play the role of a fulcrum striker again?

He perfectly combines the two characteristics of the center's containment defense and fulcrum making the ball!
-
"Hahaha! How is it, Lu?"

Joao Mario laughed and jumped on Lu Feng's body:

"Have you been completely conquered by my ghostly running position?"

Lu Feng also smiled and hugged this teammate who was only 169 tall:
"Honestly, I was really worried that you didn't see my gesture!"

Mario grinned:

"So, please call me Joao Leeuwenhoek Mario from now on!"
-
"Beautiful! A pass from Lu Feng's heel! His teammates didn't waste this opportunity and easily put the ball into the net! Sporting finally took the lead!"

When Joao Mario was still complacent about being a "microscope on the green field", He Wei, who was thousands of miles away, just used "Lu Feng's teammate" to pass the goal hero casually.

Xu Yang also praised the assist:
"Look at this slow motion, Lu Feng made a very subtle gesture to his teammate before passing the ball, and the teammate immediately understood and quickly advanced without any hesitation!

What does this mean?Lu Feng has completely become the core of this team. Although Joao Mario is also a super star worth more than 4000 million euros, he still has to obey his command! "

No matter how praised by the commentator, this goal can at least be regarded as the result of teamwork. If Mario didn't make a proper forward move, Lu Feng's pass would only sound the clarion call for Naples' counterattack, and even lead to a completely different score.

From falling behind by two goals to overtaking, the home team's anthem finally sounded in the stands of the Jose Alvalade Stadium, and the fans could finally calm down a little and enjoy the game.

The game restarted and Napoli kicked off.

The camera showed the visiting team's substitute area on the sidelines. Benitez was lowering his head, quickly writing and drawing in his small notebook, and occasionally raised his eyes to observe the situation on the field.

"The score of 2-3 in the away game is actually completely acceptable for Naples. After all, there are still 90 minutes at home."

The commentator also expressed Benitez's aspirations. After all, his high-position pressing and pressing put extremely high demands on the players' physical fitness. After nearly 70 minutes of the game, most of the starting players felt obvious fatigue.

Benitez is still thinking about how to change, but Sporting Lisbon has played a wave of offensive.

This is the 68th minute. Carrillo made a false pass from the left, and a through ball slanted through Naples' defense.

Inle and Lopez's zone defense was a little slower by half a step, but Lu Feng sped up and rushed in!
Carrillo's pass was a bit too wide. When Lu Feng caught up with the football, he was close to crossing the baseline, while Naples goalkeeper Mariano Andujar blocked the near post. The central defender Albiol dragged back to defend, and Lu Feng couldn't find a chance to shoot.

So he didn't forcefully get rid of it, but chose to pass the ball from between Albiol's legs!
Slimani, who was standing around 12 yards, volleyed the ball, but was blocked by another central defender Miguel Britos who flew forward!
"Gan!"

Slimani, who missed the goal, hugged his head in regret, and there was a huge sound of regret in the entire stadium.

Benitez finally came to his senses. He quickly drew a stroke on the small notebook, then tore it off and handed it to his assistant:
"Substitution!"

He can't drag on any longer, otherwise his back line will be blown up again!
-
Three minutes later, Naples really made a substitution adjustment. Mertens, who did not perform much on the offensive end, was replaced by the young central defender Coulibaly. The score is basically satisfactory.

He Wei also thinks so:

"The frontcourt players were replaced with defenders. It seems that Naples is going to withdraw their troops."

Xu Yang nodded:

"Their press consumes too much energy. If they don't close the lineup, maybe they will be blown away by the opponent in the last few minutes..."

Not only that, but in the 78th minute, Benitez replaced the only striker Higuain with his midfielder Jorginho, completely renounced the attack!
After seeing this substitution, Marco Silva, who was drinking water, choked and coughed!

There was boos in the air above the Jose Alvalade Stadium!
He Wei couldn't help hesitating for a moment:
"Benitez... really deserves to be a master tactician. In order to keep the score, he did not hesitate to put up a formation with three central defenders and three midfielders!"

And Xu Yang put it more directly:

"Whether it's Coulibaly or Jorginho, their main defensive target after they play is Lu Feng!"
-
With a sound of "Boom!", Couliba used a clean sliding tackle to destroy the football under Lu Feng's feet.

Lu Feng rolled on the ground in a circle before stopping.

Although there was some pain in his calf, he knew that the other party didn't touch him at all, and that kind of action was not enough to be a foul. He could only pat his buttocks and got up from the ground.

Coulibaly exhaled quietly, and also got up.

After landing in Europe from the French Metz Club, he once met another talented Chinese teenager, Wang Chu, both of whom were born in 91, and were teammates for three years between 2009 and 2012.

Coulibaly grew from a substitute to captain of the team step by step, and then joined a higher-level team, while Wang Chu was kicked out in the same year and had to find a new team...

Compared with other teammates, perhaps Coulibaly is more aware of the characteristics of Chinese players, that is... lack of confrontation ability!
Those Chinese players who landed in Europe, almost everyone suffered from injuries, so they were even more afraid of confrontation!
Judging from the results of the defense just now, Coulibaly's experience is very correct.

Physical confrontation has never been Lu Feng's strong point. Apart from fighting for headers with plug-ins, he is more about using speed and rhythm to tear open space. When defensive players aggressively show their soles, he will rarely move forward.

After all, the body is the capital of playing football. Now he has only played more than a dozen official games. If he falls into a long wave of injuries, these previous efforts are likely to be in vain!
He can't afford to wait, and he can't afford to be hurt!
"Boom!"

In the 83rd minute, almost exactly the same as the previous interception, Coulibaly's long legs hooked the football from the side and front, and Lu Feng could only pounce forward while rolling to relieve his strength.

This time the football didn't get out of control, Coulibaly looked up and sent a direct pass!
Among the crowd, he found Jorginho, who was called a midfielder but had already started to advance!

He Wei took a breath:
"This defender...is very accurate in his shots!"

Before his amazement was over, Naples fought back!
Before Sporting Lisbon's defense could react, Jorginho threw a half-high ball behind them!
Higuain and Mertens have already left the field, and at this moment, it is their captain, Marek Hamsik, who is the charge arrow!

When Lu Feng got up from the ground, he happened to see Hamsik cross the center line.

The Slovakian's attacking core unloaded the falling football slightly roughly, and then strode forward.

Patricio abandoned the goal and attacked, but saw Hamsik directly make an arc!
There was an astonishing booing from the stands, and the home fans seemed to want to use the vibration of the sound waves to prevent the ball from flying towards their goal!
But Hamsik raised his arms high, which stopped the palpitating boos in an instant!

3-3!

Naples equalized again!
