Chapter 41 First Half (First Guaranteed)

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable!"

"God! What did I see?!"

"Goooooooooooooooooool——!!!"

"This is incredible! Naples took the lead in the away game-but the incredible thing is not this, but... it was Chen Yingxiong who scored the goal. The way he scored was... a kick that was more than 30 meters away from the goal. ball!"

"What? Chen Yingxiong scored a direct free kick? And more than 30 meters away from the goal!? You must be surprised when you heard the news? Yes, I was as surprised as you are!"

...

When Chen Yingxiong scored, the commentators went crazy. They couldn't believe what they saw.

Because this is indeed beyond their knowledge-Chen Yingxiong is not good at shooting free kicks. It is well known that he has never seen him shoot a free kick before.

So when Chen Yingxiong stood in front of the football and was about to take a free kick, everyone felt surprised. Inter Milan fans are even more relieved.

How can I think that the football was bombarded by Chen Yingxiong!

After scoring the goal, hero Chen looked extremely excited!

In fact, whether this ball can be scored or not, he hadn't had any score before, he just suddenly became interested and wanted to try it. After all, for such a long free kick, the opponent didn't take it seriously. He felt that it was no different from the long-range practice in training...

So he kicked it the way he did, but he didn't expect to get in!

Chen Yingxiong no longer needs to run to Mourinho and set off his jersey to remind him of who he is.

He opened his arms and ran to the sidelines, and then came a dive landing to celebrate.

He was then crushed by his teammates who also swooped over.

The Naples fans cheered at the Meazza Stadium.

Of course, the larger number of Inter Milan fans immediately booed, drowning the voices of these Naples fans...

"Ooo! Beautiful direct free kick! Beautiful strong direct free kick! Hero Chen!!" Liu Jianhong was particularly excited. Every time Chen Yingxiong scored a goal, he would be very excited-in China, his evaluation as a commentator is not high. He explained that other games are also lifeless, and some people even summarized when he was commenting on the Chinese team game. The most said sentence is: "The time left for the Chinese team is running out!"

But explaining Chen Yingxiong's game, he swept away the hypnotic style of never waking up, and he didn't know why. To say that it is because Chen Yingxiong is a Chinese player, his compatriots have made him feel patriotic... But the Chinese national team has eleven of his compatriots, and he has no passion.

But no matter what the reason, it is always a good thing to be passionate about his own commentary. What he didn't know was that in St. Petersburg, Russia, there was also a calm commentator who changed his style because of Chen Yingxiong.

At this moment, Hilgeyevsky yelled into the microphone: "Ying-xiong-hero! Hero hero hero hero hero!!!! His powerful long-range free kick went straight into the goal! It's so beautiful!"

The Italian Football League is also broadcast in Russia, so fans in St. Petersburg can see Serie A matches every weekend. But after all, they still can’t compare with the Chinese fans, because not every weekend the TV station will broadcast the Naples game, more often when it broadcasts the top three in the north...

Today’s game, it is precisely because Naples’ opponent is Inter Milan, they can see Chen Yingxiong again.

※※※

The players of Naples are celebrating, and the faces of Inter Milan's players are generally not good.

They didn't expect to lose the ball in this way.

Cesar knelt on the ground, turned his head and stared at the ball in the net blankly, opened his arms, very helpless.

But these players add up, I am afraid that none of Mourinho's face is as bad as a single person.

His bad face is not entirely because Chen Yingxiong scored the goal, but the bigger reason is because the team is behind and there is one less person...

This is the root cause of his bad complexion.

The first half of the game was not over yet, so he lost a central defender and was still behind in the score. This up and down game...it's hard to play!

As early as when Lucio was sent off, he had asked Chivu to warm up.

Who are you going to replace?

Defensively, you can’t move, you can only sacrifice offense...

※※※

When Mourinho felt a headache to change who or not, Mazzari next door was celebrating the goal with his colleagues.

"I think starting from today, we will arrange free kick training for the heroes!" Assistant coach Viviani exclaimed excitedly.

It's not that you really want Chen Yingxiong to practice free kicks, it's just a way to express his excitement...

But Mazzari felt that this might be a try...

Chen Yingxiong's shooting power is so great that he has seen it in training. The goalkeeper tried to hug directly, but was beaten off his hands, not once or twice. However, in actual games, there is rarely such a time when there is no interference and allows him to give full play to his shooting power.

Maybe you can try it?

※※※

Three minutes after the game restarted, Inter Milan finally made a substitution adjustment.

Mourinho replaced Eto'o with Chivuo.

Did not change Diego Milito, because Milito has been in good shape recently, Mourinho also wants to use his state to score a goal in the frontcourt. As for Eto'o... He hasn't found his state so far. Although the defense is still active, what the team needs is not a defense, but an offense!

In his home court, Mourinho is not conservative.

In fact, it is impossible for him to be conservative-one goal behind, how to be conservative? Should we accept the fact of losing at home?

never!

※※※

Many people always think that one more person in number seems to be a big advantage, but in reality? In the game, the number advantage is not always felt. Because the party with a small number of people will always choose to reclaim the defense, first defend firmly, and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

This is true of Mourinho and Inter Milan today.

Although they were behind in the score, they did not rush to counterattack. Instead, they replaced a defender, removed a forward, and strengthened their defense first. Let the defensive line without a central defender stabilize the position.

Naples originally planned to use their numerical advantage to strengthen the offensive and strive to expand the score before the end of the first half.

But Inter Milan chose to shrink the defense.

Mourinho's request to the players is that before the end of the first half, no more goals can be lost.

As for equalizing the score, or even overtaking at home, it's left to the second half to solve it.

Mourinho is very confident about his adjustments during the intermission.

He always has a small notebook on him. Most of the time, in the first half of the game, TV viewers can always see Mourinho burying his head in the notebook.

That is to record the results he observed based on the first half of the game, and then during the intermission, he made targeted adjustments based on these results. For example, the opponent's wing attack is very sharp, so he asked the team to make more use of the space behind their wing press during the intermission. In this way, the opposing full-backs should naturally not be overwhelmed, so that their own side defense crisis has also been resolved.

Only one goal behind, for Mourinho, it is not the end of the world. With his excellent adjustment during the intermission, he believes that the situation will be reversed in the second half.

With Inter Milan’s contraction, Naples’ offense has become less thunderous-it looks like they have formed a siege of Inter Milan, with great momentum, but in reality? There are not many really threatening shots.

Chen Yingxiong was even trapped in the opponent's crowd, and there was no decent chance to shoot.

As a result, until the end of the first half, Naples did not achieve their wish to expand the score.

The score was still 0:1, with Inter Milan behind at home.

However, judging from the reactions of the players on both sides when they left the field and the cheering of the Inter Milan fans in the stands, it seems that Inter Milan has the upper hand...

The expression on Mazzari's face is also very serious. Of course he knows that Mourinho will use the intermission to make adjustments. What will his team do in the second half?

Chen Yingxiong didn't think about it so much, and when he left the court was filled with a lighthearted smile.

In the first half, no matter what, he scored a goal and scored a direct free kick that he had never had before. He has enough reasons to be happy and satisfied with his performance.

The worries of the coach are not his, and it does not affect his mood.

"The first half of the game ended. Naples failed to extend the lead in the first half, which is a pity. But for Chinese fans, the hero scored a very beautiful direct free kick in the game, which was enough to allow We are satisfied... in the second half, let us continue to look forward to his wonderful performance!"

Liu Jianhong said before the end of the first half of the broadcast.

"Last season, Chen Yingxiong said that he was going to double play to defend the champion. In the first 45 minutes of this game, he made a good start for this goal..." The Italian commentator also thinks that in Naples, Chen Yingxiong's performance is very good. Excellent, no matter what troubles Naples will encounter in the second half, Chen Yingxiong is the undisputed best player in Naples.

Mourinho saw a frustrated Lucio in the locker room. He knew very well that because of his momentary fever, his team had fallen into the predicament of playing more with less. What made him more painful was that his team also lost the ball because of this foul-he never expected Chen Yingxiong to be able to blast the football in such a far place, otherwise he would rather not foul...

He thought Mourinho would yell at him and scold him.

But no.

Mourinho just patted him on the shoulder: "Don't take it to heart, Lucimar (lucimar, Lucio's real name). It was just an accident."

Mourinho's approach immediately swept away the tension that had prevailed in the Inter Milan dressing room.

After comforting Lucio, Mourinho slapped his hands, and then he raised his volume and said, "Okay, gentlemen. I regret that we were one goal behind in the first half and one less person. But don't forget that this is us. Home court, so don’t be discouraged, let’s find a way to beat them!"
