Chapter 224: Finding that path (first update, please give me a monthly ticket!)

It is easy to shout slogans, but it is difficult to put them into practice.

After all, this is a away game.

The name of "Dream Theatre" in Old Trafford is directed at Manchester United players. This is not a good place for those who come here to visit.

The huge noise made by 60,000 Manchester United fans in the stands is enough to make any visiting team feel huge pressure here.

But the one who came here today was different from other teams.

Naples has reasons and beliefs that they must win.

If Real Madrid won the game yesterday and advanced to the final, then maybe Napoli’s fighting spirit is not so strong.

It was precisely because Barcelona entered the final that the fire of hatred among the entire Naples team was burning, and even ten fire brigades could not be wiped out.

The enemy is right in front and waiting at Wembley Stadium. How could they lose before the final finish line?

Not to mention that Manchester United is blocking their way, even if they are blocking their way, they have to break through!

The world cannot stop the revenge of the Naples!

If we used that method to eliminate us, do you think this matter ends here?

I dare not forget this shame every minute and every second!

※ ※ ※

Manchester United really intends to start a big kill at home, and Napoli’s defensive counterattack is also in Ferguson’s plan.

So when Naples was firmly defending, Ferguson was not surprised. Since the opponent had made up his mind to defend and counterattack... then Ferguson was not in a hurry.

Anyway, Manchester United only needs one goal to eliminate Napoli by the advantage of away goals. He wants to see who can be more patient than who.

Manchester United is not in a hurry and slowly deals with Naples at home.

Naples is not anxious when facing Manchester United, and is also very calm, as if he is less anxious than Manchester United.

In fact, this is exactly what Mazarri hopes to achieve.

Use Naples to make this posture to slow down the opponent's offensive rhythm. This way, the team's defense pressure will be lighter.

Maybe you can concede the ball as late as possible.

He carefully analyzed that Manchester United should be acceptable in the first half 0:0. 0:0 in the first half is also a good thing for Naples.

So the whole first half was 0:0 under the "tough tacit understanding" between the two sides.

"Maybe the game is more important, and it is related to the life and death of the two teams, so whether it is the home team Manchester United or the away team Naples, both sides play very conservatively. This has led to the first half of the game not very exciting, and it can even be said to be a bit boring... This is understandable. After all, it is an important game like the Champions League semi-final, and it is directly related to who can enter the final in the end... But!" He Ping changed the conversation. "For us Chinese fans who stay up late or get up in the middle of the night to watch this game, this dull first half is too disappointing. The game is slow and there are no exciting scenes. Everyone must be drowsy..."

"I think I suddenly understood Mazzari's arrangement..." In Italy, the commentator saw a close-up of Mazzari on the TV and said. In the TV screen, Mazzari had a smile on his face, and he was obviously very satisfied with the first half. "For Naples, even if this game was 0:0, they advanced. So he had no reason to worry. But Manchester United is different... They need a goal. I don't know what Ferguson thought, but it shouldn't be so wasteful of time and offensive opportunities in the first half..."

※ ※ ※

In fact, Ferguson had noticed this problem. He discovered Mazarri's trick and accidentally fell into the trap carefully arranged by Mazarri!

This made him very angry.

I have been in the European football world for more than 20 years, but I was fooled by a young man.

I can't continue to fight with Naples in the second half. I have to attack! I have to attack vigorously!

Mazarri also thought of this, so during the halftime break, he reminded everyone to pay special attention to Manchester United's attack in the second half.

"It's only forty-five minutes. Men, I want to congratulate you on your outstanding performance in the first half. You didn't let Manchester United score a goal, so the initiative is still in our hands. But the second half will not be as easy as the first half. You must be prepared, especially the defense line. The pressure we will bear in the second half will be several times that of the first half!"

Mazarri's serious look made everyone realize the seriousness of the matter.

"This is a contest of will, boys. Our strength is not inferior to them. But this is their home court, and they may create miracles at any time... So no matter what happens, you cannot shake it, you must stick to your position! At the same time, our counterattack should be a little sharper."

Speaking of this, he turned to look at Chen Yingxiong.

As the end point and bridgehead of the team's offense, Chen Yingxiong's mission was also quite heavy. In the first half, both sides mainly dealt in the midfield, so Chen Yingxiong was fine.

But the second half is different. Whether it is for the purpose of scoring goals or reducing defensive pressure, Napoli's offense must improve. In this case, Chen Yingxiong's task will naturally be heavy.

Seeing that the head coach looked at him, Chen Yingxiong stood up and waved his fist down: "Don't worry, sir. Manchester United must die!"

There was a burst of laughter in the locker room.

Mazary couldn't help but smile.

This Chen Yingxiong is really a living treasure.

※ ※ ※

When the second half of the game began and both sides returned to the court, even those who didn't understand the ball could see that Manchester United strengthened their offensive.

The happiest person is of course the Manchester United fans.

Amid the clamor of home team fans, Manchester United attacked Naples' penalty area operators one wave higher than the other, like a surging wave.

The Italian commentator was worried about the current situation in Naples.

"Rooney's shot-" He screamed in shock. Although Desanctis finally took the football off, he still said with lingering fear: "Naples can't always be beaten so passively. If this continues... I'm afraid I can't hold on."

※ ※ ※

Of course, Naples knows this truth.

But they need time.

Chen Yingxiong has retreated again and again, and this position has been retreated to the middle circle.

But he was still running non-stop, looking for and waiting for opportunities. He remembered what Raul said to him in the last round. An excellent shooter can create opportunities to score even if he doesn't have the chance. Always relying on support from his teammates, that's the idea of ​​the incompetent.

His thoughts and actions are also a microcosm of the entire Naples.

The situation is really bad, the situation is difficult, and Manchester United's offensive is very strong. However, no one in the Naples team gave up and was shaken.

I have to say that the power of revenge is so powerful that it supports them. Even if they are constantly thrown up by the strong wind and waves and fall down, the small boat in Naples has not been completely sunk. Often after a wave passes, they find that they are breaking out from under the water again!

What coach Mazary said during the intermission was heard in everyone's heart.

"Remember, boys. Manchester United only needs one ball to get us into a desperate situation. But in the same way, we only need one ball to get Manchester United into hell! So we don't pursue the number of goals, I only pursue quality! One ball! Just one ball can defeat them! Especially when the game is approaching the end..."

Yes, with just one ball, Naples will have a complete advantage.

At that time, the total score will become 3:1. Not only will Napoli lead two goals, it will also offset Manchester United's away goal. If Manchester United wants to advance, at least they will have to be 2:1 and drag the game into overtime, otherwise... there will be no chance. And as long as Napoli scores another goal, Manchester United's difficulty will not be as simple as scoring another goal, but will increase exponentially.

※ ※ ※

Twenty minutes into the second half, the score on the court was still 0:0. In these 20 minutes, Napoli experienced many dangerous scenes. The entire Napoli team was defending with a blocked awareness. In addition to using their hands, they did not hesitate to use any part of their body to stop Manchester United's shot.

Even the English commentator had to admit: "This Naples is really tenacious..."

As the score 0:0 continues longer and longer, Manchester United players are becoming more and more impatient.

However, the gradual increase in the number of counterattacks by Naples is also the improvement in quality.

It already has a faint threat to Manchester United's defense...

In the 67th minute, Mazari replaced Raul with Casano, so Napoli's frontcourt attack lineup was Chen Yingxiong in the middle, Arshavin was on the right, Casano went to the left, Sanchez played the right forward, Hamsik played the left forward, and then De Jong in the middle.

This lineup is obviously more suitable for counterattack than Raul on the left.

Mazari is about to make efforts.

※ ※ ※

After Casano came on the court, Napoli's counterattack number had more people, and the threat was naturally greater. Of course, Manchester United also made targeted adjustments. They also paid great attention to defense when attacking, and would not allow Chen Yingxiong, Casano and others to easily get the chance to score a single shot.

If Naples' offensive counterattack is less now, even if it is a counterattack, due to the increase in the number of people invested and the strengthening of Manchester United's defense, it looks more like a positional battle...

The game continued until the 80th minute, and the score was still 0:0. Ferguson couldn't sit still. He stood up from his seat, stood on the sidelines, frowned, and chewing gum hard.

Just one goal...one goal!

※ ※ ※

In the 84th minute, Naples got a strange counterattack opportunity like that.

When Napoli pushed the football forward in front of the opponent's 30-meter area, several Manchester United players had completed the return to defense, and four defenders were in their positions. At the same time, Anderson and Gibson had also returned to their positions.

On the other hand, the people coming up were Hamsik who was getting the ball. Sanchez was running towards the bottom line on the side, and raised his hand to signal Hamsik to pass the ball to him.

In order to make room for him, Arshavin moved to the middle lane himself. Of course, did this take up Chen Yingxiong's space soon? So he wouldn't really come to the middle lane, his goal is to be the ribs.

Like Sanchez, Casano is in a very sideways position, but he can also rush into the penalty area to find opportunities to support his teammates at any time.

Where is Manchester United? Evans and Vidic tightly entangled Chen Yingxiong who was heading in the front.

Right back Rafael da Silva was pulled aside by Casano and happened to be stuck on the route of Casano's cut. If Casano wants to cut in, he can deal with it immediately.

On the other side, Evra is guarding, and his defense is under a little pressure because Arshavin and Sanchez are attacking this side at the same time.

He could not just care about Sanchez or Al Shavin, so he was in the middle of the ribs and the side road so that both sides could arrive in time.

Anderson was holding Hamsik, who was holding the ball, while Gibson was at any time in the middle.

Now that the situation is facing Hamsik, this is definitely not a "counterattack", it has become a positional war.

He couldn't let the football stay at his feet for too long, and other Manchester United players were not wooden stakes standing in front of the court to watch the show.

A solution must be found before they return to defense, a way, a way to goals and victory, and a way to Wembley Stadium.

So what should Hamsik do?
