Mister Legend

Chapter 195 Another Disastrous Failure
Although even Belotti has retreated to the midfield circle to participate in the siege of the opponent's players, Sarri is very clever to avoid the right of the Torino team, but put the focus of attack on the left of the latter .Since Falk needs to be ready to counterattack at all times, the defensive pressure on this side is concentrated on the full-back Barreca. Although the midfielders Baselli and Akuwa can come to help from time to time, but when the home team players deliberately involve Under the cover of defense and defense, the Turin teenager can only accept the alternate attacks of Insigne and Callejon, two wingers with very different styles.

No. In the 13th minute, Insigne's bottom pass was barely blocked by Bareca, and the home team immediately took a tactical corner kick. Callejon passed the ball to Gulang, who came to meet him, and then made a fake backward move. Then suddenly a counterrun fooled Bareca, who had overwhelmed the defense, and after receiving Gulang's through pass, he kicked the pass directly.At this time, the defensive players in the penalty area were confused by the erratic movement of four or five players from the home team, which happened to leak out the space in the middle of the small penalty area, and it was only through the slow motion afterwards that it was determined that they were rushing from the other side Mertens, before Baselli, who was marking him, shot the ball into the goal of the visiting team from the center with a burst shot. Joe Hart was helpless in the face of such a close-range attack.

Just when the Torino team was about to strengthen their control of the ball and wait for an opportunity to organize a wave of offensives, Bruno Perez's pass in the frontcourt made a mistake, and Hamsik's over-the-top pass was passed to Merten. Stone uses his speed to hit the opponent's goal.However, when it was unclear whether he could control the ball in the penalty area, Barreca, who had been defending the Belgian, collided with the former, and was suspected of being pushed to the center of the home team behind him, and was penalized by the referee without hesitation. capital punishment.This foul is somewhat controversial, because the action of the Turin left back is not obvious, and Mertens obviously had a sudden deceleration touch before falling to the ground. Unfortunately, there is no way to cancel the penalty.The Belgian winger stood in front of the penalty spot himself, tricked the England goal and sent the ball into his lower left. 2 to 0, only 3 minutes after scoring the first goal, the score on the field was rewritten again.

This ball immediately made the players of the visiting team feel a little overwhelmed. They couldn't defend, and the offense was counterattacked. How can people live?Li Moody on the sidelines had to instruct the players on the field to slow down the pace of the game and not to compete with the opponent for fast offense and defense. In this game, most of the frontcourt players in Naples are in amazingly good condition. Speeding up the transition speed can only make the opponent find a duck in water. It feels like maybe a red bull can be turned into a dead bull in less than half-time.But he never imagined that the sharp knife inserted into the heart of his team would come so quickly.

No.20 In two minutes, it was another offensive and defensive transition. Even though the players of the away team wanted to slow down the pace of the game, the opponent refused!Under the cover of his teammates, Hamsik dribbled the ball all the way to the position about ten meters in front of the penalty area. He kicked a powerful long shot with his right foot and went straight to the upper right corner. Joe Hart struggled to the side He blocked the ball with a pounce, but he failed to pounce far in a hurry, and the ball returned to the right of the middle of the penalty area.At the moment when the Slovakia international shot, the left-back Bareka was dragged at the back, so that Mertens, who was quick to jump in, was not offside. The Turin teenager raised his hand to signal offside, and at the same time looked at the line referee on this side for affirmation, but unfortunately he was disappointed in the end.

After Mertens got the ball on the small penalty area line, facing the Turin goalkeeper who got up quickly, he made a fake shot and made a real dunk very calmly. After deceiving the opponent, he sent a push shot with his left foot, but was rushed back in time Rossettini, who was supplementing the defense, blocked it with a reckless sliding tackle.But as if it was destined, the ball returned to the Belgian again. This time, his stab shot was finally not disturbed by others, and the miracle of performing a hat-trick in two consecutive games was also achieved.

Facing a strong opponent in excellent condition in the away game, and falling behind by three goals, the difficulty of this game is a bit too high.It was also the first time for Li Mudi to face such a difficult situation after he came from time travel and became the head coach. For a while, he was like a headless chicken, not knowing what to do or what to do.At this time, assistant coach Samfield came over and asked if he wanted to replace the left-back Barreca who had been hit one after another. After all, the 21-year-old had just become the team's main rotation player this season, and his experience was still blank. It's hard to afford this setback.However, there is only Brazilian Avelar on the bench who is suitable for this position, and his condition has been very poor. It is hard to say what the consequences will be after sending him on the field. Boss still shook his head and rejected the suggestion.After all, it seems impossible to win this game again. Being able to use this opportunity to make young players grow can be regarded as a little gain.

Naples, which leads by a big score, is not ready to relax, and is still actively looking for various opportunities in the midfield. It seems that they want to avenge the vengeance of the old-timers who were bloodbathed 88-0 11 years ago.This action aroused the strong indignation of the Turin players, and they became more aggressive in the fight. Although the number of fouls increased sharply, it also deterred the home team players from doing some extreme moves easily.

In the 204th minute, Insigne sent a cross from the left, Mertens stepped in and shot directly before Kastan's block, and the ball missed the baseline. Four minutes later, it was Insigne's horizontal knock after a breakthrough. Callejon got the ball in the penalty area, first dunked Rossettini with his right foot, and then hit the goal with his left foot. Unfortunately, he was still blocked by a flying body. Barreca blocked it with his body. No.4 In the second minute, Insigne still launched an offensive. He failed to find a good way to get the ball from the right side of the penalty area, so he chose to cut inside forcibly and then directly attacked the goal. The ball was pushed out by Joe Hart, who was in a good position After 30 minutes, Callejon's high-speed dribbling was left in place by Rossettini's dribble, and the referee showed the latter his first yellow card of the game. No. In the 2th minute, Hamshik sent an exquisite pass from the front of the midfield circle. Insigne did not choose to stop the ball and wait for his teammates to respond after inserting it from the left side of the penalty area. Instead, he directly scored with his left foot A volley, but unfortunately missed the spot and the ball just hit the side netting.

Before the end of the half, the away team had only two poor shots, and they still failed to hit the target. The home team's data was 11 out of 6, which was extremely efficient.In other aspects, whether it is pass success rate, steal success rate or ball possession rate, Naples is leading by a large margin, and they have achieved another extreme, destroying all the passes of the Turin team, making the latter The success rate of crosses turned out to be embarrassingly zero.Sarri really managed to firmly suppress the opponent with a super sharp attack, coupled with a solid defense, Li Moody's tactical thinking was indeed targeted a bit miserably.

Back in the locker room, the Turin coach first signaled everyone to relax, "Although the 0-3 score is very ugly, it is not the end of the world. The team's recent results are indeed not very good, but the biggest problem is our own. There is a problem with my mentality and physical condition. Since today's game has been played like this, it is better for everyone to let go of the burden of being slaughtered and attack with all their strength in the second half of the game, even if the final result is a big defeat. Don't be afraid to go down, just take it as an adjustment for the next league."

After Li Mudi's enlightenment, the mental state of the Turin players was obviously improved a lot. After another battle in another place, they were finally able to hold the ball in the midfield and finally gained a foothold.According to the tactics set up by the team coach just now, they began to closely guard the home team's core Hamsik. This year is the tenth season for the Naples captain to come to the team. Before that, he played for the White Dolphins in various competitions. More than 400 times, scored 98 goals, and helped the team win the Coppa Italia twice.In the "Military Parade Program" broadcast on "Sky Sports" before the season, the host evaluated this team as "an iron-clad midfielder captain and an excellent striker with flowing water". After leaving due to high prices one after another, the Slovakia international still sticks to his position.In the last season, Hamsik maintained full attendance in the league. In addition to scoring six goals, he also contributed [-] direct assists. He can be called the most indispensable engine in the team.Among the three goals in the first half of the game, except for the first goal, the remaining two were also planned by him, so this powerful threat must be suppressed, so under the entanglement of the three midfielders in turn , the home team's midfield organization had to be handed over to midfielder Jorginho (Jorginho), who was born in Brazil but joined the Italian nationality.

Just when Naples was still in the stage of adapting to the "new core", the Turin team used a resolute counterattack to find a chance to score. In 7 minutes, after Bruno Perez succeeded in stealing the backcourt, he dribbled the ball all the way to the opponent's half, and passed the ball outside the penalty area to Benassi, who took advantage of the situation and broke into the penalty area. With two defensive players double-teaming, Belotti sent a wonderful no-look cross to the left. Belotti outflanked at high speed from the back point and poked the ball into the home team's goal before Reina made a remedy. 3 to 1, the gap between the two goals seems to rekindle the visiting team's hope of equalizing.

Li Mudi replaced Akuwa, who was physically weak, with Vivis 5 minutes after his team scored. This is a match-up adjustment. He hopes that the team's first captain can continue to stare at the opponent's midfield core. To disrupt the home team's offensive organization.However, it turns out that the strength of Naples lies in the deep lineup of players. They quickly formed the most basic tacit understanding with the newly appointed "midfield dispatcher" Jorginho, and gradually regained their sense of attack.

No. 70 minutes, Mertens dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area from the center and then divided it to the right. Callejon sent a nanny-style cross. The central defender Kirikesh who inserted in the back point easily pushed the ball into the empty goal. . 4 to 1, Naples once again pulled the gap back to three goals.

However, Castan's tackle after 2 minutes disrupted the situation on the field again. While receiving a yellow card warning, he also kicked Jorginho, who had just found his core form, off the field. Sarri had to send the Guinea queen Amadou Diawara came off the bench, and Li Moody also replaced the Brazilian central defender who had a card with the veteran Moretti after the next dead ball to avoid his sending off.Then the home team made another personnel adjustment. The Brazilian midfielder Allan Marques Loureiro replaced the starting Polish international Zielinski, which seemed to be a solid defensive posture.

However, the little midfielder was hit in the head just after playing for 1 minute. His foul on the left side of the penalty area gave the Turin team a good set-piece opportunity.Benassi's long pass failed very badly, and Reina, who was guarding the front point, easily threw it, but the Spanish goalkeeper somehow triggered the butter hand skill, and let the ball out of his control the moment he fell to the ground.Just when he made a second reaction and stretched out his right hand to get it back into his arms, the visiting team central defender Rossettini in front of him quickly stretched out his left foot and stabbed the ball into the empty goal from under the goalkeeper. Although the home team was protesting that the ball was suspected of infringing on the goalkeeper, the referee still made a gesture that the goal was valid under the signal of the bottom line referee.Judging from the slow motion shown in the broadcast screen, Reina only had contact with the ball with his right hand at that time, and he failed to form complete control, so the effective penalty for the goal is very correct.

The score difference between the two sides has returned to two goals again, but there are only more than ten minutes left in the game, which is really not good for the lagging Red Bulls.But 4 minutes later, Naples showed how naive it is to want to leave the San Paolo Stadium with points.The home team launched an attack from the right side of the frontcourt. The Algerian right back Elseid Hysaj who assisted him passed the ball to Callejon on the penalty area line. The latter knocked the ball to Mertens in the middle without stopping the ball. The two then made a crossover.Just when everyone thought that the Belgian would look for a chance to cross, he kicked a beautiful high-arc lob shot. The ball passed Joe Hart, who was unprepared, and fell into the back corner of the goal.In addition to his big four performances, Mertens himself also helped Callejon complete a hat-trick of assists. 5 to 2, the two sides seemed to start a goal battle in the second half, and the score difference was maintained at the end of the half.

In the end, it was the Turin players who had completely relaxed to put an end to this super exciting feast. No.803 minutes, the visiting team took a set kick in the frontcourt, and the ball flew to the right side of the penalty area in the opposite feet of the players on both sides at the front of the penalty area. The hook passed back to the middle, but Callejon made a slight push after getting up, and was caught by the referee right in front of him, a penalty kick!Belotti, the top scorer in the team, felt that his physical energy was exhausted and was afraid of accidents when shooting, so he handed over the penalty to the Spanish winger who created this opportunity, and the latter accurately took the penalty kick to the upper left corner of the goal. .The score difference between the two sides came to two goals again, and the commentaries of various broadcasters were so amazed that they were hooked.

It is a pity that after Sarri replaced Insigne with Emanuele Giaccherini, Naples no longer invested too much force in the offense, but only used the personal abilities of the three players in the frontcourt to play a few times Mertens, who was not satisfied with the counterattack, missed two more shots.Facing the home team's tight defense, Turin didn't have the physical strength to attack. In the end, the score of the game was fixed at 5 to 3.
