Volume 1: When a Male Appears, People Pay Attention. Chapter 66: He Is Too Light! (Second Update, Please Vote for Me!)

Chapter 66 He is too light! (Second update, please vote for me!)

Thiago Silva thinks the big man opposite him is nothing special. He doesn't quite understand why such a person won the top scorer in Serie A last season. For him, Serie A has always been a temple for defenders, because only central defenders who perform outstandingly in Serie A are qualified to be called the best central defenders in the world.

With a defense of this level in Serie A, if you want to get the top scorer here, you must have very good players. But judging from the thirty minutes of the game, he didn't think there was anything great about the Naples center with a cool name.

Before the game, Nesta had been reminding him to be extra careful with the opponent. At that time, he believed that Nesta was an experienced defender and what he said would definitely be correct.

But now he's a little doubtful...

Is such a center that we can easily get entangled with really worth being so cautious about?

It was said that this was also the first time that Nesta had played against the opponent. He wondered if Nesta had been misled by false confidence and thought that the opponent was very powerful. In fact... it was just a boast?

Before the game even started, he asked his centre-back partner: "Alex, Alex."

Nesta turned to look at him: "What's the matter, Thiago?"

"Well... I want to ask, do you think that kid is very powerful?" Thiago pointed at Chen Yingxiong opposite.

Nesta thought for a while: "It's not bad, not an ordinary person."

"But why do I think he is ordinary?" Thiago Silva showed a look of disdain on his face. "There's nothing special about him except that he's in good health."

Nesta shook his head, his face still looking cautious and serious. "Actually, I haven't played against him before, but do you know who told him to be careful before this game?"

Thiago Silva shook his head.

"Paul called and he told me to be extra careful with Napoli's number nine during the game."

The name Paul is very common in the Western world, but in AC Milan it only represents one person - Paolo Maldini.

Thiago Silva's idol.

Silva opened his mouth wide and looked at Nesta, as if he had heard something incredible.

He knew how powerful Maldini was, but he didn't expect that Maldini would take him so seriously.

"Last season, Paulo's Milan lost to Naples, and he was completely defeated by Chen Yingxiong in the game." Nesta said, his tone was very calm, as if he was talking about a particularly ordinary thing, without any exaggerated expressions There was no panic tone either.

"Then maybe...well, I mean, maybe it's because Paul is older..." Silva was too embarrassed to say directly, "What's the point of bullying a 40-year-old defender?"

Nesta did not directly refute Silva's view, but nodded: "Maybe it is possible, but he was able to get the top scorer last season, and basically relied on his progress in the second half of the season. Ball, I think the opponent still has some strength, so it’s best not to take it lightly.”

Thiago Silva, as a newcomer in the AC Milan team and in world football, will certainly not be arrogant in front of the senior Nesta. Since the other party said so, he also nodded obediently to express his understanding. .

But in fact, deep down in his heart, he really didn't think Chen Yingxiong had anything worth caring about. Perhaps it was just because he was a newcomer last season and everyone didn't know him well enough when he first arrived, so he was able to score many goals through his unreasonable body and headers. After everyone started paying attention to him this season, he didn't score as many goals as before... Isn't that the truth? He only scored six goals in nine rounds of the league this season.

Chen Yingxiong decided to feel it first. He tried to be an Inzaghi-style striker for a full thirty minutes, and then found it very awkward, so awkward that he almost forgot what he was like.

So he had to get a feel for it, warm up, and try the knife. That way, when the real opportunity comes, he won't miss it because he forgot how he felt. In that case...he couldn't forgive himself.

Naples soon got a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt. Cassano's dribbling on the left was interrupted by Gattuso's fierce tackle. Cassano was like a felled tree. He fell headlong to the ground. The referee's whistle sounded and Naples was awarded a free kick on the left side of the front court.

Gattuso was somewhat dissatisfied with the referee's decision. He waved his arms and chattered, thinking that he had not committed a foul. Although there was indeed physical contact, Cassano's fall was exaggerated.

But the referee only believes in his own judgment. Any player who commits a foul will think so - it's not that he used too much force, but that the opponent was too weak. But in fact, it is not up to them to decide whether a foul is committed, it is up to the referee to make the decision.

Naples got a set kick in the frontcourt, Ranocchia ran up, and Cannavaro stayed in the backcourt.

In fact, most of the time Ranokia came up to provide cover, and the real killer move belonged to Chen Yingxiong.

Sure enough, the television cameras were firmly focused on Chen Yingxiong.

Chen Yingxiong and his teammates stood on the line of the penalty area, and AC Milan's defenders were all on this line. In this way, the offside rule can be used to pin the offensive players outside the penalty area, keeping them farther away from the goal, so as to avoid the chance of directly threatening the goal. A center like Chen Yingxiong who is excellent at heading the ball, if he is too close to the goal, he can directly header the ball and have a high chance of scoring. Now that he is bound to the penalty area line by the offside rule, he is further away from the goal and the threat of a direct header is much smaller.

However, Chen Yingxiong didn't expect to score a goal with this opportunity.

He came for the feeling.

He stood in the crowd, surrounded by people, including his teammates, Arshavin who was blocking for him, and Ranocchia. Of course, he must not forget the opponent's defenders, Nesta and Thiago Silva. They all gathered around him, and it was obvious that they cared about him.

But this did not give Chen Yingxiong the same headache he had in the first thirty minutes. Before, he would have been irritated by Nesta and Thiago Silva who were always around him, but now he No. Because he has made up his mind to fight in his own way. He has almost paranoid confidence in his own way. He is not afraid of anyone. Even if I can't score, he will not make you think that defending me is a problem. Very relaxing thing!

Hamsik stood in front of the football, ready to take the free kick.

Chen Yingxiong raised his arms high. This was a signal to Hamsik - pass the football to me and let me header the ball!

※ ※ ※

Thiago Silva noticed this action, and it was obvious that Napoli's free kick would be passed to Chen Yingxiong.

He changed his position slightly and ran behind Chen Yingxiong, so that when Hamsik hoisted the football into the penalty area, he could rush forward from the back point, and then use the speed of sprint to take off, which could make up for his own shortcomings. Lack of height.

Moreover, when he jumped up from behind to fight for the top, he was facing the football, but Chen Yingxiong had his back to him. He could observe the movements of the football and Chen Yingxiong, but Chen Yingxiong didn't know what he would do. In defense, knowing yourself and the enemy will give you an advantage.

Thiago Silva was very particular about his adjustments in this position. After doing this, he waited for the football to start.

Hamsik raised his hand in response to Chen Yingxiong's gesture, which meant - don't worry, I will pass the ball to you.

"Naples got a free kick that was quite biased. This kind of ball is unlikely to be shot directly. It must be a cross. Chen Yingxiong will fight for the top in the penalty area, but there are people around him..."

While the commentator was talking, the referee blew the whistle!

Hamsik took two steps and passed directly with his feet. The football drew an arc and flew near the penalty spot.

Just as he kicked off the ball, the crowd on the line of the penalty area also surged. It was like a horse race opening the floodgates, and the horses came out in droves.

Chen Yingxiong stared at the football and rushed towards the landing point. In front of him was Nesta. He didn't see the short Thiago Silva - Silva is 1.83 meters tall, which is not actually short. But for Chen Yingxiong, anyone who is not taller than him is short.

Nesta's attention was attracted by Ranocchia who was further forward. Due to Ranocchia's interference, he failed to hit the football!

The football slipped through.

Just as the football missed, Chen Yingxiong twisted his waist in the air, gathering strength and preparing to header.

Thiago Silva came from behind and circled in front of Chen Yingxiong, intending to clear the football before him.

It seems that he is closer to the football example and his judgment of the landing point is more accurate. According to common sense, he will push the football out and complete a beautiful defense.

But at this moment, he felt as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had occurred in his world, and he felt a spinning sensation - he had completely lost his balance!

The football he had aimed at also disappeared.

When he came to his senses, he was already lying on the ground, and there was still some pain in his left shoulder - it was from the collision with the ground.

The referee's whistle sounded.

"Ah... Chen Yingxiong committed a foul when he was fighting for the top in the air... Silva was knocked out sideways!"

Thiago Silva struggled to get up from the ground, and then was stunned for a moment - he found himself at the feet of goalkeeper Abbiati, and then he saw a straight white line nearby, almost the same as his body It's parallel, that's the goal line!

Why am I here?

He remembered that when he took off, he was still between the penalty spot and the penalty area line...

After Chen Yingxiong landed, he waved his arms in annoyance. He thought he had not committed a foul. It was because the Brazilian was too careless!

He raised his hand and shouted at the referee: "I only used 50% of my strength!"

The referee doesn't care about him.

Chen Yingxiong asked for trouble.

He looked back at Thiago Silva, who was getting up from the ground, still a little dazed, and snorted. If this kid hadn't been so incompetent, he wouldn't have been called a foul on the ball. After he knocked away Thiago Silva, the football he pushed out was very threatening!

He shook his head and ran back.

Well, anyway...I finally found my feeling.

Now, it's your turn to have a headache, Milan defenders!

Are you ready for the onslaught of giant bears?
