Chapter 118: Unexpected Victory (Third update, please vote for me!)
"The hero... takes the ball with his back, and outside the penalty area, Pepe's defense is very strict. He sticks to the hero. The purpose is to prevent the hero from easily entering the penalty area or turning around... What will the hero do?" Some commentators said that they believed that Chen Yingxiong's best way was to pass the football to Cassano who was running, or to Arshavin.
When Russian commentator Yuri Petrov saw this scene, he initially thought the same thing as his colleagues, that is, Chen Yingxiong would use the wall-hitting style to seek the possibility of breaking into the penalty area.
But the next second he suddenly remembered something: "I think Pepe is going to be in trouble..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Yingxiong leaned back and bumped into him, followed by sticking his butt out! After knocking Ke Peipei away, there was a beautiful turn and volley!
He burst out laughing: "Hahahaha! This scene, I think the Russian audience will be familiar with it! Poor Pepe, he doesn't know his opponent so well! Beautiful goal, Hero Gang Napoli takes the lead away from home!"
※ ※ ※
Pepe covered his crotch with one hand and raised the other hand high, signaling to the referee that Chen Yingxiong had committed a collision first and the ball should be invalid!
But the referee once again ignored his appeal and ruled that the goal was valid!
"Real Madrid is lagging behind at home! It's really bad..."
"Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful goal!"
"Heroic turnaround volley! He scored two away goals for the team!"
"Hero! Hero! Hero! A beautiful turn and volley! He scored the first goal for a Chinese player at the Santiago Bernabeu! This is a heroic turn and volley! He took full advantage of his physical advantage!"
"It's incredible! At the Bernabeu Stadium, Napoli actually led Real Madrid 2:1! This scene must be a nightmare for Real Madrid fans! They must just want to wake up early now!"
"Who could have thought of this before the game? Real Madrid actually conceded two goals at their home court and was still lagging behind... Even if Real Madrid can win the game in the end, two away goals can already make Naples feel confident. Got it!"
Amid the excited roars of many commentators, Chen Yingxiong, the hero of the goal, opened his arms and ran to the team's bench and coaching bench. Halfway through, Arshavin got on the bus and jumped directly on Chen Yingxiong's back. Chen Yingxiong staggered slightly, regained his center of gravity, and continued running with Arshavin on his back. With a group of cheerful teammates behind him and a good friend on his back, Chen Yingxiong plunged into the sea of joy in front of the bench.
"Well done! Hero—"
"Oh oh oh oh! That kick is so domineering!"
"I bet this goal will be something Pepe will never forget for the rest of his life, hahaha!"
Everyone slapped Chen Yingxiong hard and cheered.
Napoli celebrated their second away goal on Real Madrid's soil.
The Real Madrid people fell silent.
※ ※ ※
Pepe's protest by holding his crotch was unsuccessful, so he simply lay down on the ground and said that he was seriously injured and needed the team doctor to come in.
Real Madrid's team doctor ran up and was treating Pepe's injury.
The other players looked at everything in front of them with confusion.
Looking at these chaotic situations, Pellegrini looked anxious but helpless - he was just the head coach and what he could do was really limited. Moreover, facing this Real Madrid, which is full of factions, everyone is a big name, no one is willing to sacrifice, this one can't move, and that one can't move Real Madrid, he is really exhausted and helpless.
He has no idea what he should do when facing such a team...
The Napoli players celebrated the goal and the lead at Real Madrid's home court. After a brief silence in the stands of the Bernabeu Stadium, there was finally some sound - they booed!
No one knows whether this boo is for Naples, who are leading the way, or for Real Madrid, who are acting like a mess...
※ ※ ※
Mazzarri's analysis of the psychology of Real Madrid players is correct. They have failed to enter the Champions League quarterfinals for five consecutive years, which has put huge psychological pressure on everyone at Real Madrid. As long as there is a slight twist in the game, their nerves will be on edge, and everyone will overreact, as if missing the quarterfinals for the sixth time in a row is just around the corner...
So when the game restarted, Real Madrid's players were impatient.
Being impatient, they don't even care about teamwork. After the stars in the frontcourt get the ball, they all have to kick it themselves. The one who did this the most was Cristiano Ronaldo. He even kept waving to signal his teammates to pass the football to him. Once the football was at his feet, no one else wanted him to pass the ball anymore. Long-range shots hit the goal guarded by De Sanctis, but few of them could really threaten the Naples goal.
Raul worked hard on the court, but when he played as a full midfielder, he was too far away from the players. His other teammates have stopped defending, but his sense of responsibility forces him to chase back again and again, so that he has no energy to shoot and score.
So the Bernabeu prince, who was once as light as an elf in the penalty area, is now reduced to a blue-collar worker "running around" on the field...
With ten minutes left before the end of the game, Real Madrid still couldn't find a way to score, and Mazzarri began to replace Arshavin and Cassano and began to strengthen the defense.
Even if he conceded a goal in the last ten minutes of the game and was equalized by the opponent, it didn't matter to him because they had already got two away goals that were more precious than gold.
When Arshavin and Cassano came off the field, the support Chen Yingxiong received in the offense plummeted, but he no longer cared.
Because he has already scored a goal, and it was a goal that helped the team take the lead.
He began to often drop back to participate in defense. Although he was still in the "defending with eyes" stage, after all, he was still very capable in defense and control. And...his departure relieved Pepe's pressure.
Real Madrid besieged Napoli's penalty area at the last moment, hoping to score.
But Real Madrid, which lacked a midfield organizer and relied solely on the individual abilities of its stars, had nothing to do against Naples, who had set up an iron barrel formation.
Pellegrini knows that Naples is stronger offensively than defensively, with sharp offense and poor defense. But he forgot that teams from Italy have been exposed to such an environment for a long time. No matter how bad the defense is, how bad can it be?
When an Italian team is determined to defend, it is almost impossible for a disorganized team like Real Madrid to break their goal.
So when the referee blew the final whistle, all the commentators roared in an incredible tone.
"A miracle! A miracle! Napoli took away a victory at the Bernabeu! They completed an almost impossible task!"
"Oh... oh! oh oh oh!! Napoli defeated Real Madrid, the score is 2:1! Napoli is 2, Real Madrid is 1! Yes, you read it right! Napoli is 2!"
"Look at the disappointed and frustrated faces of the Real Madrid players... Napoli had a great away win!"
Before the game, no one thought that Real Madrid would lose the game at their home court. Even the most optimistic Naples supporters believed that a draw would be the best result.
Who would have thought that this Napoli team really exceeded everyone's imagination. They accomplished something that many teams failed to accomplish at the Bernabeu Stadium.
The Napoli players who won the game celebrated wildly on the Bernabeu Stadium, as if they had advanced to the quarterfinals.
"Real Madrid suffered an unexpected defeat at their home court, which also heightened people's concerns about whether they can enter the quarterfinals. At the same time, Pellegrini's coaching issue will probably become a concern for the media after the game. It’s a hot topic…”
"We actually lost to Naples at our home court! Real Madrid, which had high expectations before the game and was packed with superstars, actually lost to their opponent with a score of 1:2. What's more, what makes every Real Madrid fan feel chilling is—— We didn’t see any positive things in this game. This is what worries us the most. Can such a Real Madrid team really break the curse of the quarterfinals?"
the Marca radio commentator said weakly after the game.
Real Madrid performed really poorly tonight...
※ ※ ※
Naples players celebrated their victory at the enemy's home court, which made many Real Madrid players very dissatisfied - they didn't understand the least courtesy. How could they celebrate like this in other people's stadiums? Isn’t this just rubbing salt into our wounds?
What a bunch of rubes!
At the end of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo walked quickly to the tunnel with his head buried.
It was a particularly losing night for him. He neither scored nor assisted. He took no less than ten shots in this game, but none of them flew into the goal. He already knows very well what the media will say about him after the game...
To make matters worse they lost the game. This is the most deadly.
If the game is won, then nothing can be said...
It's really ironic to think about my optimistic and relaxed attitude before the game...
That's all, let's leave quickly.
But he will never give up easily. Even if they lose the game at home, they still have an away game.
He clenched his fists as he walked off the court.
He secretly vowed in his heart that he would reverse his destiny in the away game and successfully lead the team into the quarterfinals!
Raul Gonzalez is old, and he must seize every opportunity to become the team's new leader. Leading the team to break the "Dream Eight Curse" is naturally a very important thing.

The Naples players collectively rushed to the stands where the visiting team fans were - the Naples fans were arranged to a corner at the top of the stadium stands, which was very far away from the football field. It was almost impossible to see clearly what was going on in the stadium. Possibly, you will need a telescope to see it.
Keeping visiting team fans away from the stadium is a consensus followed by any team's home stadium. This can cut off the connection between the fans and the team, prevent them from cheering for their team, and prevent the visiting team from gaining power from the fans.
But now this blockage no longer exists.
As Real Madrid fans began to trickle out, Napoli fans could easily express their cheers.
The Naples players ran hand in hand to the bottom of the stands, applauded, bowed and waved to the group of Naples fans at the top.
And the fans responded with their huge cheers.
Backing up the cheers were the boos from Real Madrid fans.
But this time it was clear that the object of their boos was not Napoli, who had defeated them at the Bernabeu, but Real Madrid, the home team that had fled...
