Volume 1: When a Male Appears, People Pay Attention. Chapter 298: Too Familiar...

Many people think that with Chen Yingxiong, this away game is equivalent to half a home game for Liverpool. Looking at the performance of the fans before the game, it is indeed developing according to this trend.

To know that so many away fans can cheer him so loudly, I am afraid only Chen Yingxiong can do it. And with Chen Yingxiong's status in the hearts of these people, those Naples fans will not make things difficult for Liverpool.

But after the game started, everyone discovered that they were wrong.

There are two completely different worlds before the game and during the game.

Before the game, both sides were having a good time. The fans cheered for the visiting team players, while the home team and visiting team players chatted happily in the tunnel, making happy noises from time to time.

After the game started, less than a minute later, De Jong gave Liverpool a disastrous tackle with a fierce and completely foul tackle.

Just after De Jong tackled Suarez, the referee's whistle sounded.

foul!

Even the commentator was surprised: "De Jong committed a foul, but the tackle was unnecessary. Suarez's position was not dangerous at all at that time. He even turned his back to the direction of the attack and planned to pass the ball back... It seemed that both sides The players are not friendly at all..."

Chen Yingxiong reacted immediately.

He looked at De Rong who was looking at him and smiled.

De Jong's eyes were provocative.

Why doesn't Chen Yingxiong know what this means?

He has said before that he will do his best to defeat Naples and show Naples the best version of himself. This sentence also applies to Naples.

Naples must also try its best to deal with Liverpool and show Liverpool the best Naples!

In order to prevent Liverpool from thinking that Naples is weak, this foul is actually a declaration and reminder: Use all your strength and defeat us! If you can!

Chen Yingxiong gave a thumbs up to his former teammates.

After De Jong saw this action, a smile appeared on his fierce face.

He knew that Chen Yingxiong understood what they meant.

"Bah!" Suarez spat on the ground after getting up.

Chen Yingxiong and other teammates ran over to see if he was injured.

"I'm not injured..." Suarez said while moving his ankle, "But! I've lost face! Damn it! After the game, I must eat and drink and play hard to make them miserable!!"

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Suarez, everyone dispersed.

Chen Yingxiong patted him on the shoulder: "Let's wait until you can win this game! Now focus on the game!"

"Nonsense! Of course!" Suarez rolled his eyes at Chen Yingxiong, "I must win!"

Naples really tried their best.

They were very tight and tenacious in defense. Their counterattack was also sharp.

Although Cavani is not as good as Chen Yingxiong. But he is still considered the top center in European football. He can score more than 20 goals a season in Serie A. He also won the Serie A Golden Boot last season.

In addition, there is the organization and support of Hamsik and Cassano in the midfield. Although Sanchez and Chen Yingxiong are gone, Naples' offensive strength is still very strong.

And those Naples fans who were still cheering for Chen Yingxiong no longer cheered for the away team at all, they only cheered for Naples. At times, boos against Liverpool could even be heard.

This is no different from the various away games that Liverpool has experienced. After all, this is an away game, not their home court.

The warmth before the game could not conceal the cruel nature of this game.

competitive sports. Either you die or I die, any sympathy and pity for the opponent is stupid. No matter how good the relationship is, you have to let it go at this time. Don’t you see that there are many good friends who turned against each other just because of a game?

So the two sides haven't turned against each other yet, and it can be said that they are both great.

Naples' tactics are defensive counterattacks, which are very similar to Liverpool.

Because Naples defended and counterattacked, Liverpool naturally had no way to defend and counterattack, so they also pressed out to attack.

It's just that Naples will seize the space behind him.

Therefore, the pressure must be to score goals as soon as possible, otherwise. As time goes by. The situation will turn in favor of the defending side Napoli.

At this time, Chen Yingxiong needs to stand up and break the intensive defense.

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong was in really good shape in this game. He ran actively and shot accurately.

He had three shots in ten minutes, all three of which were within the goal frame. Of course, Rosati was also in good condition and saved all three shots.

The problem Chen Yingxiong faces is that Naples is too familiar with him, from players to coaches, everyone is familiar with him.

This way the defense becomes more targeted.

It would be better for Naples to prevent Chen Yingxiong from entering the penalty area, no matter what method is used. They all forced him out of the penalty area.

In this way, his header will not be effective.

Chen Yingxiong also felt a little awkward playing against Naples because the opponent knew him too well.

We have played together for four seasons and know his playing habits very well.

It seemed like he had to come up with something different. At least it’s something Naples is unfamiliar with and doesn’t understand…

He looked down at his left foot.

The left foot has been developed, but there are not many opportunities to use it in games. Because he is used to kicking with his right foot, and his teammates are also used to it, so his habitual foot is right foot when passing, running and receiving. Naturally, it will be convenient for his right foot, but not his left foot.

If you have to use your left foot to kick the ball, it will cause many problems, making it difficult for your teammates to adapt, which may have serious consequences. For example, if a passing error occurs in the frontcourt, the opponent may steal the ball and directly counterattack, threatening his own goal.

Therefore, Chen Yingxiong rarely deliberately uses his left foot to control the ball and shoot. Unless he reaches that point and it is more comfortable to use his left foot than his right foot, he will do so.

It’s just that there aren’t many such opportunities.

So in fact, most people don't know that his left foot has been developed. Even if he occasionally succeeds in shooting with his left foot, others will think it is good luck and bad luck. Blinded.

His header, right foot, free kick, long shot, and goal grabbing have long been known to everyone as his regular weapons. Everyone knows he's good at this.

But not many people know about the left foot.

Therefore, it can be said that the left foot is Chen Yingxiong's last secret weapon.

Could this game be a good opportunity to reveal this secret weapon?

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong made up his mind to use his left foot, but he had to be restricted by other teammates. After all, everyone is passing the football to the right side of his body so that he can control the ball with his right foot - this is part of the strategy. In order to maximize Chen Yingxiong's scoring ability, the tactics designed by Martin O'Neill are completely convenient for Chen Yingxiong and are considered from Chen Yingxiong's perspective. How to make it convenient for Chen Yingxiong, how to let him control the ball in the shortest time, adjust and then score goals, these are the first part of the strategy. Everyone has already accepted and become accustomed to this requirement in day-to-day training.

Reflected in the game. That is, almost all the balls are passed to Chen Yingxiong's right foot.

The benefits of this are obvious. Chen Yingxiong's average number of adjustments is one or two fewer than other players. Don't underestimate the "insignificant" advantage of these two kicks. On the ever-changing football field, the adjustment time of these two kicks is enough to determine whether a ball goes in or goes wide.

If you want to pursue the ultimate goal and increase the number of goals, one ball and two goals are achieved by digging out the details like this.

It's no wonder that Chen Yingxiong can score more than 100 goals in a season. He doesn't make many unnecessary moves before many of his shots. Just a shot. Then with his pinpoint shooting accuracy, the football went in.

Therefore, Chen Yingxiong's ability to score so many goals cannot really be said to be solely due to his outstanding abilities and tactical cooperation.

But the disadvantage of this tactic now is that it lacks flexibility.

When Chen Yingxiong wanted to adjust, the entire team was unable to adjust immediately.

He could only insist on using his left foot to control the ball in the first half, even if it gave him more time to adjust, it didn't matter. Because only in this way can I tell my teammates that I want to use my left foot now, everyone should cooperate with me!

If the situation has not improved by halftime. Then he will directly make this request to everyone in the locker room and ask everyone to cooperate with his adjustments.

So what everyone is seeing now about Chen Yingxiong's performance is suddenly a little strange. It was obviously an opportunity to shoot with his right foot, but he had to switch to his left foot, thus delaying the opportunity and causing the ball to not score.

Many people feel sorry for Chen Yingxiong, and at the same time they are confused - his right foot is obviously better, why should he use his left foot?

But in fact, even with the opportunity just now, Chen Yingxiong shot with his right foot. He may not be able to get in, because Naples' defense against his right foot is almost instinctive, and they really know him too well...

Because Chen Yingxiong was constantly adjusting, the entire Liverpool team was at a loss, so Liverpool's offense was not as sharp as before.

However, even if it is not as sharp as before, Liverpool's attack still puts huge pressure on Naples, so Naples cannot fight back as much as possible.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate, mainly in the Napoli half and midfield.

Not giving in to each other.

It was a stalemate until the end of the first half, with no one scoring.

This can be said to be very rare for Liverpool.

There was no goal scored in the entire first half!

※ ※ ※

The narrator also felt surprised and strange at the same time.

Especially the performance of Chen Yingxiong is strange.

"Doesn't he know how to play when facing his old club? Or is it because he can't bear it?"

Martin O'Neal was also very strange, so the first thing he did when he returned to the locker room was to ask Chen Yingxiong what was wrong.

Chen Yingxiong's answer surprised him: "I'm going to finish this game with my left foot, boss."
