Chapter 54 Chen Yingxiong’s head (Second update, please vote for me!!)
***, third update today, please ***! ! It's the middle of the month, let's see if there are any ***?
※ ※ ※
Before Cassano's goal, although Lyon's performance was a bit slow, their head coach Puel was still sitting on the Diaoyutai. He thought this was normal. His team was not the kind of team that could play casually and immediately. A team that is getting into form. What's more... this is still an away game, as long as we don't concede a goal. Then slowly find the state, wait until you enter the state, and then strive to score goals.
The task he gave the team was to defend first.
As long as we don't concede the ball, everything is still possible.
So when Cassano scored, it was normal for him to jump out of his seat in shock...
He really wanted to scold his mother, but he didn't know who to scold.
Naples' offense was really exciting. Ordinary fans might not be able to see it for a while, but he knew it very well. This goal was trained repeatedly... Every pass and run of each player is very particular and designed. It is definitely not a flash of inspiration from a few superstars - it is also known as " During the "Galactic Battleship Generation", we might be able to play that kind of casual cooperation, but in today's Naples, it is absolutely impossible!
So there must be only one result, and that is Naples' precise deployment against Lyon!
He clenched his fists!
He has studied Naples' three-forward tactic before. Chen Yingxiong is the center forward. He is always in the penalty area and never goes to the wing. The wing is left to Arshavin and Cassano, who keep passing the ball. Provide Chen Yingxiong with a chance to shoot.
In this case, it is actually very easy to defend. On the one hand, it can freeze Chen Yingxiong personally, and on the other hand, it can contain crosses from the two wingers.
Unexpectedly, Naples didn't do this in this game. They still used a three-forward tactic. But this time it's really "three forwards" instead of "one center plus two wingers".
Each of these three forwards has the ability to score goals and disrupt an entire backline on their own.
Therefore, it is impossible to focus on defending a certain person. But if everyone is to deal with it, the strength of his own defense line is obviously not enough.
He has a huge headache...
He has learned a lot about the tactical training of Italian football coaches.
Just such a simple adjustment caused a fatal chemical reaction in the offense.
And it gave him a feeling of being caught off guard...
When he was annoyed, he turned his head and glanced at the Naples coaching bench. Mazzarri was hugging and celebrating with his assistants.
No wonder this person is highly regarded in Italy. It seems there is a reason...
※ ※ ※
After taking the lead, the Naples game was much easier to play, plus this is their home court.
Lyon was not mentally prepared to fight at the Sao Paulo Stadium and was a little unable to let go, as if his soul had been knocked out.
It may be an exaggeration to say this, but it is true that Lyon did not reorganize after conceding the ball, and it was still unable to find its form.
Puel was no longer sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. After he jumped up from the coaching bench in shock at the loss of the ball, he did not go back. He stood on the sidelines, staring anxiously at the center of the court, paying close attention to changes in the game situation.
He kept calling the names of the players on the field, reminding them to pay attention to defense, and let the line recycle and recycle a little more.
Compress the space for Naples players to move and put the midfielders into the defense in the penalty area to avoid numerical disadvantage and ensure that every Naples player will be surrounded by two Lyon players.
This is all he can do now - fight back? Don't think about it for a moment. After Naples took the lead, they were in full momentum amidst the almost crazy crowd at home. If Lyon pressed out to attack, Naples would probably seize the opportunity to counterattack - he had studied that Naples' counterattacks were also very good. Sharp.
If a goal is conceded then, this game will basically be nothing more than thoughts...
So now the team's goal is to maintain this score at the end of the first half - of course, if there is a really good opportunity, he doesn't mind equalizing the score before the end of the first half.
※ ※ ※
Lyon's defensive strategy of compressing space did cause Naples a little trouble.
But it doesn't matter, Naples just has a way to break this intensive defense, that is... excellent personal skills, tacit cooperation, and... unreasonable power!
Cassano, Arshavin and Sanchez all have outstanding personal skills. As for tacit cooperation... the members of the Naples branch of the Eat, Drink and Play band have long been fighting together and going to jail. They have cultivated a friendship that ordinary people cannot Think about the tacit understanding.
The power of being unreasonable is quite special. It only belongs to one person - Chen Yingxiong.
"Hero, hero, hero!! Long shot! Beautiful! Loris made the save very reluctantly. He might have planned to hug him directly..."
Lloris did intend to hug the football when Chen Yingxiong took a long shot, but when the football flew over, his protagonist strongly told him - hit it out! Fight it out!
So he changed his posture in a panic, from holding the ball to attacking with both fists!
The football was knocked directly out of the sideline by him.
Not giving a corner kick also drew praise from the French commentator.
But after Loris got up from the ground, he shook his hand vigorously - the football hit his hand, causing an impact far beyond his imagination on his wrist, and it was extremely painful.
This is Loris's first confrontation with Chen Yingxiong. All his knowledge of Chen Yingxiong before came from some written materials and videos.
But as a goalkeeper, it is best to get first-hand information, and first-hand information, of course, is to use your own body to personally feel the opponent's power!
The conclusion of the feeling is... "What a powerful force!"
Lloris may be a little unfamiliar with Chen Yingxiong, but the French commentator must be. Because just in the first half of last year, Zenit St. Petersburg and Marseille had two games, and those two games were also explained by this commentator.
In the two-round match against Marseille, Chen Yingxiong scored three goals, one on the away game and two more at home, which left a very deep impression on the commentator.
Especially his strong body amazed the French commentator. At that time, he hung on Marseille's captain, Loric Sana, known as the "Marseille killing machine", and completed a turn shot.
The commentator was amazed at that time.
"Although Cassano scored the ball in Naples, for me, the most dangerous person in Naples is Chen Yingxiong!" the French commentator warned, but Lyon's coaches and players did not listen to his voice. Less than...
※ ※ ※
Although Lyon shrunk their defense, they still found it difficult to defend. Because Mazzarri also made adjustments subsequently - do you want to create a numerical advantage in local areas by shrinking the defense line? Then I will follow up! With a wave of his hand, the Naples front line was established to support the front line, so that the numbers were even.
What if Lyon fights back? This is what Hamsik and De Jong are responsible for.
This seems a bit crazy and the risk is high. If De Jong and Hamsik fail to stop it, the opponent's counterattack can directly face the back line or even the goalkeeper...
But that's the style of Mazzarri and Napoli. In competition, you have to take some risks. If you don't dare to take such a risk on your home court, then you might as well just be a coward forever.
To win, you have to press and attack!
And this is not a rash move. Mazzarri could see that Lyon were not in good condition. They seemed to be weak in the knees by the huge boos and shouts at the St. Paul Stadium. This is Naples' opportunity, which must be seized and then used to beat the opponent to death without mercy!
"Press up! Press up!" he shouted from the sidelines.
※ ※ ※
Both Hamsik and De Jong are almost pressing the opponent's 30-meter line, but what about Lyon? Except for one forward, almost all of them withdrew, just to survive the dozens of minutes in the first half.
Chen Yingxiong didn't stay in the innermost part of the penalty area - it was full of people now, and he couldn't get any chances if he couldn't get out, and his teammates couldn't even pass the ball, so he withdrew. The positions of his partners Arshavin and Cassano are even more flexible. The three of them constantly switch positions, cover each other, and play with each other.
It is very difficult for Lyon to defend.
Although Chen Yingxiong does not have as outstanding foot skills as Cassano and Arshavin, he has strong strength. In the penalty area, his strength is more useful than his skills.
Look at this ball... After Cassano broke through, he gave the football to Chen Yingxiong. Chen Yingxiong stepped on the football with his feet. The opponent's defender Chris originally wanted to rush up and steal the ball, but Chen Yingxiong pushed his butt and knocked Brazil The man blocked him and followed him to shoot, but due to Tulalang's interference, the shot missed.
Although the football did not enter the goal, it showed the important role of Chen Yingxiong, a tall center, in the penalty area - if such a center that cannot be knocked down gets the ball in the penalty area, in addition to letting him shoot or fouling him, What else can be done?
Just because Chen Yingxiong didn't kick the football in this time doesn't mean he won't be able to kick it in next time. If he doesn't score next time, it doesn't mean he won't score every time.
If you always let him come like this, he will always find a goal.
But Lyon has no choice now. They can only desperately prevent Naples from winning the golden ball again. They are one goal behind and still have to fight in the second half. Two goals behind, and it's still at someone else's home court, so the game can't be played...
Lyon was unwilling to let Naples score again, so Naples insisted on taking a two-goal lead.
※ ※ ※
Hamsik suddenly shot a cold arrow outside the penalty area, and the football was saved beautifully by Lloris, giving Naples a corner kick.
Naples captain Paul Cannavaro and another central defender Ranocchia both rushed from the backcourt to the front to compete for the corner kick.
As for short players like Cassano, Arshavin and Sanchez, they have nothing to do in the penalty area. Arshavin takes the corner kick and everyone else goes outside the penalty area.
The restricted area is the world of experts.
Chen Yingxiong, Paul Cannavaro, Ranocchia, and Hamsik are all in the penalty area. Hamsik is at the front, but he is just a feint. He has never been the scoring point in Naples' corner kick tactics.
Paul Cannavaro and Ranocchia were at the front, close to the goal. Chen Yingxiong was on the line of the penalty area. He lowered his head and did not raise his hands, looking very low-key.
But everyone knows that he will always be the most important person in Naples' corner kick tactics, because his header is so powerful!
Loris also pointed at Chen Yingxiong and shouted: "Attention! Pay attention to their No. 9! Don't let him rush in!"
Chen Yingxiong didn't understand French, but he didn't need to understand it at this time. He rolled his eyes. You are already so low-key, why don’t you hold on to me so tightly...
But he didn't retreat, just stood there. Upon hearing the goalkeeper's words, Baumsson immediately dropped Paul Cannavaro and ran to defend Chen Yingxiong. As the only person in the Lyon team who can be closest to the opponent in terms of height, how could he not stand up? Puel’s evaluation of Chen Yingxiong’s header was: “No matter how far away he is, he cannot be allowed to head the ball without interference!”
Chen Yingxiong didn't even look at Baumson. He just stared at Arshavin who ran to take a free throw.
Hamsik stood in front, seemingly trying to nod the ball back. He was 1.83 meters tall and his heading skills were barely adequate.
But this was just a cover. When Arshavin stood in the corner flag area and raised his arms, Hamsik suddenly ran straight towards Arshavin!
This means playing a tactical corner kick!
Lyon's defensive players did not dare to neglect, and midfielder Tularang, who was guarding the front point, chased after Hamsik.
At this moment Arshavin kicked the football out!
It wasn't a ground ball on the turf, and it certainly wasn't for Arshavin. The football drew an arc and flew directly towards the goal!
Almost at the same time, Chen Yingxiong, who was originally standing on the line of the penalty area, feinted backwards, making Baumsson stunned.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yingxiong rushed out like an arrow, thrusting forward!
No one could have imagined that Chen Yingxiong was waiting on the line of the penalty area not to rush directly to the goal to fight for the top when he served, but to grab the front spot!
Lloris and other Lyon players focused their attention on the middle, but Chen Yingxiong slapped him and reached the front point with a slash!
Arshavin's kick was not high. Chen Yingxiong didn't even need to jump up. In order to ensure that he could hit the ball well, he had to lower his height...
Chen Yingxiong, who was charging forward, bent his knees, leaned back, faced the flying football... and flicked the header!
The football was just pushed towards the goal by him!
Lloris, who was standing at the back of the goal, rushed forward, but his foot slipped!
The full-back Bastos, who was guarding the near post, seemed to have never expected Naples to come up with such a corner kick tactic. He stood stupidly at the near post without even jumping. Just after seeing the football flying over, he raised his head reflexively, as if this could block the football.
But when he raised his head, all he saw was the shadow of the football, and a gust of wind blew past his head...
"The ball...the ball went in!!!"
After heading the ball, Chen Yingxiong knelt down on his knees and slid to the sidelines, avoiding a series of reasons such as center of gravity and inertia. After completing the top ball movement, he would make a dog-chewing action - that would not be the case at all. So handsome!
He kept the posture of shaking the ball and clearly saw the football flying into the goal.
Then he turned his head back and stared at the long and short shots of the photographers behind the billboard. He put on an arrogant expression: a calm and calm face, which didn't seem to be exciting, but it was the ultimate in arrogance - I Isn't it natural to score goals with your head? What's there to be happy about?
As if it had received a signal, the flashes flashed together...
