Football: the history of the first ball

After the Naples team came out, the whole team was in high spirits.

They were clearly trailing 0:2 in the first half, so they persisted in embarrassment.

But now, it's just a 15-minute halftime adjustment. The whole team seems to have been injected with a certain spirit, and the team's appearance has taken on a completely new look.

What Manchester City didn't know was that after the head coach of Naples arranged the tactics, he asked Maradona to speak, and Maradona gave a passionate speech to rekindle the fighting spirit of all the players.

Maradona is a super awesome figure who can stand up to a group of stars on his own. He is recognized by the world as the true king of football.

Maradona is the city hero of Naples. In Naples, thousands of people admire Maradona. He is the god of Naples.

In the team, Maradona's power even exceeds that of the head coach, and even the head coach's tactics must be discussed with Maradona.

When the idol gave a speech, the teammates' fighting spirit was rekindled. Even when they fell behind, they did not panic, as long as the captain did not panic.

As long as the King of Football doesn't give up, we will fight until the last minute.

A whistle, the second half of the game began.

Naples sped up the passing game and they played a very efficient passing rhythm.

In just 5 minutes, the advantage Manchester City established in the first half was gone.

Xiao Jian found that the Naples team not only accelerated their passing speed, but also improved their running and defensive speed.

To be precise, the first half was not the true strength of the Naples team.

In the first half, it was because I scored too early and confused the opponent.

It's not that easy to defeat a team with the best team in the world.

The Naples team, with many stars in the world in Serie A last year, unexpectedly won the championship two rounds ahead of schedule.

Now is the peak moment of the Naples team, and it will not be easy to beat him in the Champions League.

Xiao Jian reminded his teammates to start speeding up and not to let the opponent's speed suppress them. Once they lose the ball, they will fall into passive defense.

But Manchester City lost the opportunity and could not regain the advantage in a moment.

The Manchester City team is not as good as Naples because of its foundation. Without Xiao Jian, its strength will definitely be inferior to its opponents. Now that Xiao Jian is blocked, it is normal for the whole team to be passive.

At this time, the Naples team was attacking sharply, and even Xiao Jian was amazed by Lao Ma's passing.

In this high-pressure Champions League game, every pass made by Lao Ma was extremely accurate, as precise as a scalpel.

Xiao Jian even felt that in this life-and-death battle, Maradona's passing was better than in the first game.

In the 49th minute, Maradona made a wonderful pass, allowing Higuain to go to the meeting alone and almost succeed in shooting.

If Lisk hadn't bravely saved the ball, the ball would have already been scored.

But in the 53rd minute, Maradona passed three people and broke into the Manchester City penalty area. The Manchester City defense was in a panic. Foden was inexperienced after all. In desperation, Maradona was tripped by him at night. A penalty kick was awarded by the referee.

The Manchester City fans were in an uproar.

It felt as if the two teams switched in the second half.

This penalty kick was taken by Maradona. Under such heavy pressure, if the ball did not go in, it would basically be out of play.

As a result, Lao Ma used a ground kick. At the moment of shooting, his ankle changed slightly. Although Lisk judged the direction correctly, he could not keep up with the speed, and the ball hit the net.

The Naples team members breathed a sigh of relief. After the goal was scored, they felt more confident.

At the next kick-off, Manchester City still did not win the ball.

Just 1 minute later, the Naples defense successfully intercepted the ball and passed the ball directly to Maradona.

Maradona passed someone and saw that Manchester City was about to pass the half-court, and suddenly made a long pass in the air.

When this kick came out, Xiao Jian's heart skipped a beat.

Damn, this is too accurate.

Maradona's long pass passed the Manchester City defense below and passed the ball directly to the feet of the fierce striker Cavani.

Cavani didn't even pause. His speed connected directly and seamlessly. After catching up with the football, he instantly formed a single shot.

Lisk had no choice but to abandon the goal. When he was halfway out, Cavani lifted the ball high.

Maradona once reminded him that to beat the big man Liske, he must be as tall as a football.

Cavani relied on his excellent footwork to lift the ball very high, but Lisk lifted the ball sharply, leaned back, and lifted the ball slightly higher.

Lisk tried his best, but his body fell to the ground.

As a result, the ball hit the crossbar and bounced right at the feet of Cavani. The regretful Cavani was overjoyed and pushed the ball directly into the empty goal.

Only 10 minutes passed in the second half, and in the 55th minute, Naples equalized the score.

2:2

Xiao Jian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the world champion really lived up to his reputation.

This goal was due to Maradona's exquisite passing and easily equalized the score.

Of course, there is also an element of luck.

This extremely exquisite passing success was also caused by the panic of Manchester City's defense.

But it is undeniable that Naples has now scored two goals in a row to regain its confidence.

The top priority now is to turn the situation around.

However, when Manchester City lost the ball, their teammates also fell into full defense, and the accuracy of the pass also declined.

Xiao Jian hasn't gotten the ball for a long time.

During this period, he only got the ball three times, was tripped twice, and once passed the ball to De Bruyne, who just received the ball and was knocked down by his opponent.

The referee in this game was relatively lenient, and until now, there has not been a single yellow card.

The Naples team's defensive scale is also very precise, and their foul actions are small but effective.

They can knock people down without taking any cards, which is better than Manchester City.

In terms of defensive experience, Manchester City is one level behind Naples.

This is also the reason why Manchester City felt panicked after conceding two goals in a row. In addition, Xiao Jian was restricted by a foul and was unable to open up the situation.

Both sides paid great attention to defense during this period, causing the midfield to become a battlefield.

Time passed minute by minute, and the two sides fell into a hand-to-hand battle, with neither side having a very good chance.

Although Xiao Jian was restricted by fouls, Maradona was also closely guarded by his Manchester City teammates. As long as the two stars got the ball, they were often brought down.

Although both sides had some shots, they were all shot with little chance.

In addition, the goalkeepers of both sides played very well, and the 2:2 score continued until the 80th minute.

If this score is maintained, then Manchester City can still advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League due to its 4:4 away draw with Naples and the advantage of more away goals.

Now has reached the most tense moment for both sides. No matter which side scores a goal, it will give the opponent a fatal blow.

If Manchester City scores, Napoli will have to score at least two goals to advance.

Naples will score a goal and surpass Manchester City in points and will have the last laugh.

In the last 10 minutes, no one can make mistakes.

Fans from both sides were so nervous that their palms became sweaty.

Suddenly, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
