Volume 1: Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 115 The Contrast Between the First and Second Halves (Third Update, Monthly Ticket!)

Chapter 115 The contrast between the first and second half (Third update, monthly ticket!)

Chen Yingxiong has to admit that his definition of "tepid water" at the Bernabeu Stadium is wrong. Because after the game started, this stadium was not gentle at all. It was like a volcano, spewing passion out at any time.

The Bernabeu Stadium, which can accommodate more than 80,000 fans, showed amazing momentum and energy to the visiting team Napoli.

Especially the South Stand of the Bernabeu, where Real Madrid’s most die-hard fans gather.

And Real Madrid fans cheer in a very special way. There is a fan leader in the stands with a loudspeaker, who directs others and leads them to chant slogans.

What makes them so excited is... Real Madrid is ahead!

In the 25th minute of the opening game, Higuain, who started the game, opened the scoring for the team and scored the leading goal.

This goal completely ignited the passion of Real Madrid fans.

So the Bernabeu Stadium has become like what Chen Yingxiong sees now...

※ ※ ※

Real Madrid's strength is indeed one head above Naples, and this goal proves it. You must know that Naples has been insisting on defensive counterattacks since the beginning of the game. They did not attack Real Madrid with enthusiasm.

Despite this, they still dropped the ball. I have to say that Real Madrid is really strong. Maybe they can't beat Barcelona, ​​but they have a 90% winning rate against other teams.

On the other hand, it also exposed that Naples' defensive problems still exist. Although they had not conceded a goal in three consecutive games in the league, now they have changed their main goalkeeper. The goalkeeper and the defense still need to cooperate, run in and find a tacit understanding.

Mazzarri didn't place his hopes on the team's defense anyway. It was almost impossible not to concede a goal at the Bernabeu.

He just hopes to concede a few fewer goals so that he can still have a chance in the second half.

So after losing the ball, he walked out of the coaching bench, comforted the players, and asked them to continue to defend and not rush to equalize the score. As long as the score remains the same in the first half, there will be 45 minutes left for Naples in the second half.

So judging from the situation on the court, Naples continued to shrink its defense and only occasionally counterattacked, appearing very passive on the scene.

Because of the need to completely stabilize the defense, Arshavin and Cassano, who were originally engaged in counterattacks, were ordered to withdraw and participate in the defense. Only Chen Yingxiong was left, isolated and helpless, and unable to contribute any threatening offense.

"Real Madrid has the advantage at their home court. Facing Real Madrid's offensive, Naples can only shrink its defense and cannot even counterattack..."

"I've just said it, as long as Real Madrid performs normally, the 'Dream Curse' is nonsense! Look at their performance in this game! Naples has to pray that they won't lose too badly!"

The announcer of Radio Macca said proudly.

Anyone who watched the game will admit that he is right. Real Madrid played a great first half. The players were full of fighting spirit, and... they did not underestimate the opponent.

If there is any dissatisfaction among Real Madrid fans, it is that their idol, Raul Gonzalez, is still sitting on the bench and did not start.

The Champions League was Raul's stage, but now the king of the Champions League can only be a spectator on the bench.

Real Madrid fans no longer worry about whether they will lose this game.

What they are considering is whether Raul can play and whether he can score goals?

With this relaxed mood, the first half of the game ended.

※ ※ ※

Chinese commentator He Ping seemed disappointed with the first half. Because in the process of explaining the game, he could not mention Chen Yingxiong's name many times.

This gave him no chance to sensationalize.

Naples had too few counterattacks, and Chen Yingxiong played little role in the few counterattack opportunities.

"... He lacks support! He needs support! But in order to consolidate the defense, Mazzari withdrew Arshavin and Cassano to the backcourt. Even if the football was kicked to the frontcourt, he was not worried about losing the ball. Enough players pressed forward, leaving Chen Yingxiong alone... He is not the kind of player who stops the ball by himself, then turns around and dribbles the ball, passing five levels and killing six players, completing Maradona's masterpiece in the World Cup. He is a pure center forward and needs support from the midfield and backcourt..."

He complained that Mazzarri's tactics were too conservative.

"At the Bernabeu, you can't defend if you want to!"

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong did not perform well in the first half, and had few opportunities to show his demeanor as the "top scorer in Serie A" to the Bernabeu audience.

But he didn't complain because it had been arranged long ago. Among the various possibilities Mazzarri listed for the players, conceding the ball in the first half was the first one mentioned. Mazzarri told everyone that if the ball was lost in the first half, the team should immediately unite and shrink the defense, with the primary goal of trying not to continue to lose the ball.

In this way, he will naturally receive less support. However, Mazzarri also promised him that the team will definitely invest more troops in the counterattack in the second half, and he will not feel that he is fighting alone.

In the visiting team's locker room, Mazzarri was talking about this.

"I'm very satisfied with your performance in the first half because we only conceded one goal, which is nothing. I think for us, only conceding one goal is nothing at all, right?"

The players shouted back to him: "Yes!"

Mazzarri does a good job in mobilizing players' emotions. Perhaps this is his "racial talent" as a personality coach?

"In the second half, we will invest more troops in the offense. The situation of being suppressed and unable to fight back in the first half will no longer happen... I know you can't wait, hero."

Seeing Chen Yingxiong who was eager to try, Mazari made a calm gesture towards him.

Everyone turned to look at Chen Yingxiong, and there was a burst of laughter in the locker room.

Behind Real Madrid by one goal at the Bernabeu, but still able to laugh, perhaps the only ones who are heartless players from Naples...

"In the second half, when we counterattacked, we had to involve more players and press forward more boldly. Guys, you all know that the Bernabeu Stadium is the temple of football and a big stage that countless people dream of. Now we will If you have the opportunity to show off the offense we are most proud of on this big stage, don’t show mercy!”

Napoli felt good at halftime and so did Real Madrid.

Although they were only leading by one goal, the players were full of confidence and believed that Naples would be completely unable to threaten their goal in the second half and would only be slaughtered by them.

Marcelo even joked to Casillas: "Igor, I think you'd better wear more clothes in the second half to avoid freezing!"

His words made everyone laugh.

In the first half, several Naples players who were threatened by Pellegrini's focus did not perform well, and the Naples team's offense was not threatening. So Real Madrid players basically think that Naples is nothing more than that.

Everyone was laughing, but Kaka was not. He found it quite strange. Naples was able to defeat the three strong teams of AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus in Serie A. Their offense left a very deep impression on him. Why did this team go up? Why was their performance so weak at halftime?

Are you really intimidated by Real Madrid's name? Intimidated by the atmosphere at the Bernabeu?

Not quite...Napoli shouldn't be a team that can be easily intimidated...

Kaka was puzzled.

But his doubts were soon cleared in the second half.

"This is Napoli's counterattack... De Jong is in possession of the ball, he is looking for Hamsik..."

Not long after the second half started, Real Madrid made a passing error in an attack. The football was passed directly to the feet of Napoli captain Paul Cannavaro. Cannavaro did not control the ball, but passed the football to the German team. Allow.

De Jong passed to Hamsik again. By this time, Naples' counterattack had taken shape - Arshavin and Cassano were both rushing forward from the wing. In addition, Maggio was rushing from the right. Put it on.

This situation surprised the players of Real Madrid. Based on their experience in the first half, they were still slowly returning to defense. It was just that the central defender strengthened their close surveillance of Chen Yingxiong. Who would have thought that Naples would suddenly be surrounded by thousands of arrows? He launched a fierce offensive!

Due to lack of preparation, Real Madrid's counterattack speed was obviously very slow, while Naples' counterattack speed was quite fast!

There was a burst of exclamations and boos from the stands at the Bernabeu Stadium.

Fans also feel the danger!

The commentator quickly adjusted his tone and yelled: "Hamsik caught the ball! He brought the football forward and then quickly passed it to Maggio on the right!"

Only then did the Real Madrid players realize something was wrong - Naples at this moment was completely different from Naples in the first half!

"What the hell!" Casillas took a stance in front of the goal and was ready.

Marcelo, who jokingly asked him to wear an extra piece of clothing during the halftime break, was desperately running back from the frontcourt at this time. His goal was Maggio, who was in possession of the ball.

When he finally caught up with Ma Qiao, Ma Qiao passed the football...

This time he passed to Arshavin.

After receiving the ball, Arshavin did not directly break through, but wanted to dribble.

Because they were counterattacking after the ball was intercepted, and Real Madrid's defense was a bit slow, the only defensive players of Real Madrid in front of Arshavin were Pepe and Albiol, while everything else was open. !

For Real Madrid, this is a very dangerous situation!

But Chen Yingxiong, who was running for Arshavin and suppressing the central defender, his eyes lit up!

This is really a perfect opportunity to test how well you are practicing running without the ball in actual combat!
