Chapter 221 Lu Feng Stops the Ball Five Meters Away

A day later, on February 2th.

The Stadio Olimpico ushered in the 23rd round opponent, the second-ranked Naples.

Pioli and Sarri, these are two head coaches who were not optimistic before the season. The former is a typical lukewarm, nice guy, and mediocre, while the latter is a big smoker, stubborn and conceited, and difficult to get along with.

But to everyone's surprise, when the league reached the 23rd round, the top two teams in the standings were the teams of these two coaches. Allegri has been working with Juventus for more than a season. Adams, but also second to them.

This game is destined not to be easy! -
"As expected, it's an uninspired tactic."

When the game played for 3 minutes, Sarri shook his head.

Lazio, which is full of wounded soldiers, really put up a defensive counterattack posture at home.

As if hearing the opponent's voice, Pioli shrugged a few steps away.

It's not easy to get together these few defensive players, so just make do with it!
-
Goalkeeper Marchetti still failed to catch up with the game. Fortunately, Basta and Gentileti barely made a comeback, partnered with Lucas, who played as a guest full-back, and the new aid Nkulu, who is still adapting to the team, formed a team. Temporary backline.

On the defensive midfielder, Cataldi, Onazi, and Parolo are responsible for the interception in the middle. Lulic and Candreva are separated on the left and right. They seem to be wingers, but their two positions are infinitely close to their own. The restricted area is obviously more important to defend. Lu Feng stands alone at the front, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack at any time.

If it is Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​this kind of behavior of defending at home will probably be booed by the fans. This kind of top giants, even if they send a youth reserve team, will not allow them to play so conservatively and ugly.

But there was not much dissatisfaction in the sky above the Olympic Stadium in Rome. Lazio fans would never ask that their players play offensive football when the camp is full of injuries.

From the very beginning, Naples turned away from the opponent, and Lazio quickly gave up possession of the ball. Except for Lu Feng, the other ten players all retreated within the 30-meter area of ​​their own side.

Although the defense line is not complete, and the starting 11 players are by no means the strongest lineup, but... if you have the ability, you can attack!

Higuain, Callejon, and Insigne looked at the defense line of the opponent, and suddenly felt a little helpless.

What kind of a hero is he who hides and defends?If it's a man, just type it out!
-
"Although Lazio retreated, they did not completely give up control of the midfield. The five midfielders were very strong in the press. It was difficult for the Naples players to hold the ball comfortably..."

After observing carefully for 15 minutes, He Wei came to this conclusion.

Xu Yang thought more deeply:
"But this kind of pressing obviously consumes more energy. For the current Lazio, it is difficult for them to maintain an active pressing for 90 minutes..."

Before he finished speaking, Basta, who had been out of battle for a long time, made a low-level mistake when crossing, and directly passed the ball to Higuain's feet!

The Argentinian smoker was clearly under-prepared. Facing this great gift, he didn't think too much about it. He just took a step forward and shot the goal, but was easily confiscated by the rotation goalkeeper Berisha because of lack of strength, and missed a great opportunity to take the lead .

But as the game progressed, Lazio's defense problems were gradually exposed.

Basta and Gentileti have been away from the game for a month, and they have only been practicing with the team for three days before rushing into the battle. They have not found their best form at all-not to mention their best form may not be so strong...

Nkulu and them have not been tempered in actual combat, and there is no tacit understanding and cooperation between them. Although the mistake just now came from Basta, he did not take any remedial measures afterwards, so that Higuain completed the shot.

In addition, the other full-backs Lucas and Gentileti are generally slow. Facing Naples, who is good at running and has plenty of physical fitness, they are almost completely suppressed in one-on-one defense!
In the 21st minute, Naples defender Coulibaly launched a long pass from the backcourt. Callejon, who was unguarded, succeeded in countering offside. He wanted to break into the penalty area from behind Gentileti. But when he stopped the ball, he stopped the ball in the arms of the goalkeeper, which scared Berisha into a cold sweat...

The two commentators just wanted to laugh at Callejon's level of stopping the ball, when they saw that Lu Feng used too much force when he tried to change the direction of the ball with his heel. The full-back Ma Qiao, who was three meters away, just stopped him!

"Stop the ball five meters away", this phenomenon finally appeared in Lu Feng's body.

Of course, he suddenly changed direction while dribbling the ball at high speed. Even Ronaldo, who is best at this extraordinary action, can stop the ball at a distance of more than three meters, otherwise he would not be able to deceive his opponent at all.

Of course, He Wei would not criticize his compatriots because of a mistake, but explained for him:
"It can be seen that Lu Feng has not fully recovered from the previous injury. If he was in the state before he had a fever, this extraordinary action should be easy to catch..."

Xu Yang also agreed:
"It's not a big deal, he can try a few more times to find his status..."

But his words seemed to be cursed. Macho turned around and passed forward. Higuain knocked the ball across the middle of the small penalty area line, and Higuain, who was outflanking in front of the goal, shot with his stomach straight!
Berisha did not relax his vigilance. He made a precise save when Higuain shot, but the football just bounced on Higuain's stomach, and then was rushed into by the inertia of Higuain's forward rush. The gate is already unguarded!
1-0, Naples in the away game took the lead in the 22nd minute!
Lu Feng raised his right hand at the front and apologized to his teammates on the back line:

"This ball... I lost it, and I will take the blame for it!"
-
After conceding the goal, the Blue Eagles were not in a hurry to press the offense. They still wanted to play steadily, but the second conceded goal came soon.

After only 4 points, Naples made a long pass from the backcourt. Higuain led away the combination of central defenders obliquely, but let Callejon successfully turned offside to form a single-handedly!

Facing Berisha, Callejon didn't waste another chance this time. He used a pick to break through the city guarded by the second goal of the Blue Eagles, 0-2!

"This level of defense is useless at all!"

Sarri chewed his gum excitedly and quickly. Two consecutive goals aroused his craving for cigarettes. He could only temporarily replace it with chewing gum.

He looked at Berisha who was catching the ball from the goal, and gave the latest instructions to the players:

"Good job, now...it's our turn to defend and counterattack!"
-
"How did you defend this ball?!"

Pioli made a rare fire:

"Why did the two centre-backs run after Higuain?!

Does Nkulu have any brains?Don't the Ligue [-] teams even have a sense of positioning? ! "

Fortunately, Nkulu, who just joined, hasn't had time to learn Italian, so he didn't bother with him at all...

Murelli glanced at him, and couldn't help complaining secretly:
"Stefano, you are so inflated! Now you dare to stand on the sidelines and curse people?!"
-
When Pioli was still venting his dissatisfaction a little, the Naples players had retreated to their own half like a tide, leaving the ball to Lazio, who was behind by two goals.

Lu Feng, who was in charge of kick-off, passed back to Lucas Leiva 25 meters away, then turned and ran forward.

He Wei looked at the Lazio players who were slowly retreating on the screen:

"Naples, who scored two goals in a row, is obviously ready to defend, while Lazio can only attack. The situation of the two sides is completely reversed at this time."

Xu Yang said very cautiously:
"If it was Lu Feng before he got sick, even if we conceded another goal, we wouldn't worry about it. But he has just recovered from a serious illness and hasn't found his best form yet, so the situation is a little bit difficult..."

"Let's watch the ball!"

He Wei suddenly raised his voice:
"Candreva lobs the ball straight in!"

After three passes and two passes, the football came from the backcourt to the foot of the machete on the right. He glanced at his teammates who were already approaching the top of the penalty area, and decisively passed it to the goal!
He didn't want the 1.7-meter-three Lu Feng to grab the header in front of the 1.9-meter-five Coulibaly, so he paid special attention to the angle of the pass, and made a huge arc with his right foot.

This is not a high-altitude overhead ball, but a diagonal ball in front of him!

"Demacia!"

Coulibaly immediately felt that he, with his height and long legs...couldn't catch up with this little man!
The difference in explosive power between the two is too great!

Lu Feng seemed to have completed the transition from jogging to extreme sprinting in just half a second!

Like a precision-guided missile, Candreva's long diagonal pass bypassed Coulibaly's long legs and landed between Lu Feng and goalkeeper Reina!

Facing Spain's bald goalkeeper, Lu Feng finally did not soften his feet this time.

"I won't miss it!"

He stretched out his left foot to meet the landing point of the football, and shot through the former Red Army goalkeeper with a flying shot!

1-2, after 1 minute behind two goals, Lu Feng recovered a point for Lazio!
