Chapter 223 The Defeat of Naples
"Sarri's dense defense once made people think that he had found a way to freeze Lu Feng, but he obviously forgot that Lu Feng's best position is winger."

He Wei thoughtfully explained for Sarri:

"However, this is understandable. Both Klose and Djordjevic are injured. Lu Feng is the only one who can serve as the starting striker. His targeted arrangement is not a big problem."

Xu Yang jumped to another interface:
"In the basketball arena, we have indeed seen that a large number of troops are used to defend the opponent's core players, but after all, there are differences between football and basketball. Once too many troops are spent on one player, huge gaps will be formed in other areas. Naples Although the overall strength is slightly better, Lu Feng alone is enough to make Lazio invincible."

He Wei agrees:

"Let's see what other tricks Sarri has. If this is his limit, Naples may have to accept the ending of being double-killed by the opponent!"
-
There is an old saying on the Internet:

"Don't bully the youth to be poor."

Although Sarri is not a teenager, he is an out-and-out little man in Serie A.

He came up from the lower leagues and is the head coach with the lowest annual salary among the 20 teams in Serie A. Even the big softie Pioli gets more than him.

But Sarri is obviously a person unwilling to be mediocre. Under his amiable appearance, there is a big heart that is beating strongly!
Compared with those coaches with professional training or coaches who changed careers, he was a bank clerk who was more eager to prove himself!
He wants to win this league championship more than anyone else!

So he must make a change! -
When the players from both sides returned to the field, everyone was taken aback.

He Wei repeatedly confirmed the player's number, but was still very surprised:

"Napoli replaced the right-back Macho, but the player who came off the bench... was the striker Dries Mertens!"

Pioli swallowed, too shocked to speak.

With his personality, it is really hard to understand. It is obviously still a draw, but why did Sarri break the boat when the game was only halfway through?

Perhaps at the end of the season, Sarri will also find that the outcome of this game is not that important, but at this moment, winning has become the only obsession in his heart.

He wants to win this game, and then reduce the difference between the two teams to 4 points, so that the suspense of the league championship will continue!
Xu Yang pondered for a moment, but still couldn't help raising doubts:

"Mertens, the striker, played 31 league games last season and only scored 6 goals. This season's scoring efficiency has not improved at all. So far, only 3 goals have been accounted for. He is the top scorer in the team. Not even in the top five. Will such a player... really be a surprise striker for Napoli?"
-
Sarri, who looks simple and honest, has a stubbornness and madness that ordinary people cannot understand in his bones.

What he values ​​is not Mertens' scoring statistics, but the creativity he brings on the offensive end.

Although the "Belgian Knockout King" is less than 1.6 meters tall, his nimble interspersed running positions and excellent foot skills are enough to cause headaches for tall defenders.

Coupled with the fact that Naples also has a 1.6-meter-three Insigne on the left, the two "Bantams" jointly bear the hope of Sarri.
-
Sarri was extremely eager for victory, but he was poured cold water by Pioli.

The Lazio coach didn't seem to care about winning. He almost copied Sarri's tactics in the first half and put up an iron barrel formation from the beginning!

"Even if you have two Messis, we are not afraid!"

Pioli raised his legs triumphantly, regardless of whether this is his home court.

His defense line is not the strongest configuration in the first place, and there is still a lack of tacit understanding between them. Only by relying on the accumulation of troops can they completely block Naples' breakthrough!

Whatever tricks you use to deal with Lu Feng, we will deal with Insigne and Mertens!

Facts have proved once again that when a team is determined to defend to the death, if they want to break through their city gate, they must pay an unimaginable price!
Insigne and Mertens' dribbling skills are really great, but when they lack space, they can only hit the iron plate again and again!
Even if he is as strong as Messi, he can only shake his head and sigh in front of such a dense defense!

Sarri jumped up and down the sidelines, but there was nothing he could do!
"This is a foul!"

"Definitely a yellow card!"

"Penalty!"

"He's done it!"

"This is beating!"

When he saw players fall in the break, he put pressure on the fourth official almost every time, hoping to get a call in his favor, only to be disappointed over and over again.

"It's just a normal fight for the ball."

"Lazio's defenders kick the ball first."

"Your player is suspected of diving."

"Please don't interfere with the game."

The tone of the fourth official became more and more vocal until the 71st minute of the game.

"Do you fucking have eyes?! That bastard almost crippled my player! You're condoning murder!"

Sarri's saliva was sprayed directly in the face of the fourth official.

The poor official wiped his face and pressed the headset angrily:

"Come here quickly, the coach of the visiting team has gone crazy!"

"drop!"

The referee stopped the game with a sharp long whistle, then trotted to the sidelines, and showed a red card to Sarri who lost his composure!
Pioli slapped his thigh!
But he immediately adjusted his expression, putting on a calm and innocent look.

Surrey didn't invent the iron barrel formation, so why can't I do it if he can do it?
"Naples is over!"

All commentators made such a judgment in unison.

And the development of the game was just as they expected. Naples, who lost the head coach, was in a turmoil. Coupled with the reason of physical exertion, the marking of Lu Feng was not as strict as that of the first half. Scored a goal and completed the hat-trick of the game.

And after only 3 minutes, he still had hope to go one step further and complete the big four, but his shot was rejected by the goalpost, but Keita rushed to the goal and scored. The score came to 4-2, Naples Totally lost hope.

Napoli, who had no interest in fighting, left the Stadio Olimpico with a defeat. Their head coach was suspended for three games, which undoubtedly cast a shadow over the championship situation.

In the standings, they also had to give up their No.2 position. With a thrilling 1-0 victory over Genoa, Juventus completed the overtake.

But... the gap between the Bianconeri and Lazio is still as much as 9 points!
It's not an easy score to chase, but "Old Lady" delivers as composed as ever.

There are still 15 rounds in the league, and they still have hope.

The biggest hope for Juventus now is that Lazio will enter the finals of the Coppa Italia and the Champions League at the same time. In this way, the Blue Eagles will have to spend more energy to maintain the third-line battle!

Lazio's lineup is too thin, and they will definitely fall into crisis in the third-line battle!

And at that time, it is time for Juventus to stand up and reap the fruits of victory!
