Greenery on the back

Chapter 353
As for Empoli's recruits Yue Feng and Uchida, Sampdoria didn't think they would play before.

It’s okay to play a friendly match or a third-tier team, but if you dare to use two young players against a first-tier team, then Empoli would be reckless.

Therefore, after seeing Empoli's starting lineup, Samp's side was also surprised.

One underestimates the enemy, the other is bold. Everyone in these two teams looks like you are finished today.

But when the match really started, the two sides knew exactly how much the opponent had.

I saw that Sampdoria took the lead in kicking off and launched an attack. The midfielder No. 20 Maniro led the other two forwards to frequently attack Empoli's defense.

The 4312 formation emphasizes the center, and their three midfielders are all good long passers. The frontcourt tridents such as Maniro are also sharp, which put a lot of pressure on Empoli from the beginning.

But the Empoli defenders led by captain Luca are not to be outdone in the face of a strong enemy.They formed two tight lines of defense with midfielders Thomas and Siredi in the middle.

"Hmph, manilo, when I was in Serie A a few years ago, he was no match for me, so don't even think about passing me easily now." Luca cheered up and continued to direct his teammates to defend.

The two sides came and went, and for a while they were inseparable.

At this time, Sampdoria made a long pass from the midfield and successfully found Maroni. The latter took the ball to meet Luca and strode forward.

Luka held his breath, put on a defensive posture, and stood firmly in his position.

After Maroni approached Luka quickly, he feinted, trying to get rid of his opponent.

Although the old captain of Empoli's reaction was not as good as before, but with his rich experience, he saw the opponent's intentions in advance.

But the Maroni at this time is no longer the Maroni when Luca was in Serie A a few years ago. After years of accumulation, the Argentine has more delicate footwork and is much stronger on the spot.

Just when Luka was about to steal the ball, Maroni quickly protected the ball, and then passed the ball to the striker teammate who came to meet him.

This meeting, the two are evenly divided.

But Luka gasped. The game had just begun. If Maroni attacked like this a few more times, especially when his physical strength declined in the second half, it would be really dangerous.

Thinking of this, Luca hurriedly called his teammates to tighten up the defense and repelled Samp's attack.

"It has to be one goal ahead!" Facing a strong opponent, Luka took the ball and quickly counterattacked.

Samp's three central midfielders are in the midfield. Relying on Rich, Thomas and others, it may be difficult to win the opponent. Luca did not hesitate, and passed the ball directly from the backcourt to the goal. Mateucci.

Mateucci quickly started and ran towards the ball.But at this moment, Samp, a big central defender with a square face and blond hair, also rushed towards the ball at the same time.

This big man with a square face was wearing the No. 3 jersey, and he was extremely accurate in judging where the ball would land. He rushed the ball back to the midfield ahead of Mateucci.

Mateucci looked up and was shocked. He saw that this square face was nearly 2 meters tall, half a head taller than himself at nearly 190 centimeters.

"No. 3 central defender, Luo Cha." Yue Feng saw this scene from the left, and read silently.

Just now Luka's ball went directly across the midfield to find the striker, which actually makes sense.

Fighting to control the ball, your own midfielder is definitely not as good as the opponent. This kind of long pass can indeed avoid competition for the midfielder.But Yue Feng was a little puzzled, why didn't the captain just go to the side to seek a breakthrough?

The only answer is that Empoli's old players don't trust themselves enough.

Although they had fought two beautiful battles before, facing the first-tier team, Luka and the others were still worried about themselves and Uchida.

After thinking about it, Yue Feng smiled wryly and continued to observe the situation on the field.

At this time, the ball was obtained by Sampdoria's three midfielders. After passing it a few times, they made another long pass to Maroni.

Maroni started immediately and rushed towards the space between Luka and Empoli left center back Youre.

Samp's counterattack was also very sudden this time. You Lei didn't seem to be ready, and his reaction was a bit slow.The captain Luca was anxious, and hurriedly moved closer to this side.

Maroni was secretly happy, this is what he wanted.

The most difficult thing for Empoli now is Luka, who is like a wall in the middle.Through the confrontation just now, Maroni also knew that this old guy could not attack by force, so he turned to attacking Yulei as a pretense, so as to draw Luka out of the middle.

And once Luca leaves the middle, Maroni can receive the long pass from his teammate, and then pass the ball to his two forwards.

But just when the ball was about to fall, Maroney suddenly felt a person rushing towards him on the right side behind him.

As soon as Maroni was dazed, the man passed by his side in a few steps, and then fell to the ground with a tackle.

The ball was shoveled away by this man, and then rolled towards Luka.

Maroni was taken aback. Unexpectedly, Empoli has such a defensive master!
Luka didn't expect it either, he hurriedly stopped and caught the ball that was rolling towards him.

"Yue...it's actually this kid..." Luka looked up and saw that the person intercepting the opponent's pass was Yue Feng, and he couldn't help but cheer for the opponent in his heart.

During this period of time, the two sides competed repeatedly in the middle. No matter in terms of formation or tactics, Empoli's two wings should play a role.

After observing the situation, Yue Feng took the opportunity to shrink back and joined the defensive battle in the middle.

He first judged the direction of the opponent's pass in the first place, and then used the blind spot to move and successfully touched behind Maroni.

But the defense belongs to the defense. After Luka got the ball again, he still didn't dare to pass the ball to the side easily.

The two teams saw each other in the middle for almost 30 minutes, but they failed to break through the opponent's gate.

As a Serie A player, Sampdoria couldn't hold back at first, thinking that it would be too embarrassing for a small Empoli to win.So, they took advantage of an opportunity when the ball went out of the boundary and replaced the team's top card, No. 10 Dybala.

Although Dybala is 36 years old, he still maintains a very handsome face. At this moment, adding a bit of maturity adds a unique charm.

As soon as former Juventus star Dybala came on the field, it had an immediate effect.His ability to hold the ball and break through has given Sampdoria another playmaker in addition to Maroni in the frontcourt.

This time, Luka and others were in a hurry, and loopholes gradually appeared in the defense. Maroni took advantage of the chaos to pass the ball accurately to Dybala's feet.

Although Dybala has passed his prime, his feet are still extremely flexible. He faced Luka and swayed him past with just a fake move.

And the left central defender Yulei, who came to defend, didn't even touch the edge of his clothes, and Dybala easily broke through from his side.

Facing the attacking Empoli goalkeeper Alberto, Dybala used his left foot very covertly, then suddenly kicked up and hit the ball hard towards the opponent's goal.

　When I wrote this game, the foreign epidemic was not that serious, and I don't know if Dybala can beat the new crown, and played until the age of 36 and seven as I wrote.

　　It is said that the virus will not leave too many sequelae, but I think it will affect the players' lungs to some extent. I hope the players will get better soon!come on!
