Chapter 153 The power of running without the ball (Second update, please vote for me!)

"Ball twenty-nine!"

The commentator shouted when Chen Yingxiong blasted the football into the goal with a long shot.

"Now he has scored twenty-nine goals. If the pattern continues, I have no doubt that he can score thirty goals..."

Fifty-eight years ago, since Hansen, who played for Juventus, won the Serie A Golden Boot with 30 goals, only one person has done it in the past fifty-eight years-in the 2005-06 season, he played for Fiorentina's Luca Toni was elected the Serie A Golden Boot with 31 goals, breaking the 54-year-old history.

Since then, no one has scored more than 30 goals in a single season.

This shows how strong the defensive intensity is in Serie A.

In La Liga and the Premier League, scoring more than 30 goals in a single season is not news. It was enough to make a splash in Serie A.

Now Chen Yingxiong has scored his 29th goal this season, which is one goal away from the 30th goal. Looking at Chen Yingxiong's state today, I'm afraid one goal in this game won't satisfy him...

When celebrating the goal, Naples teammates were shouting to Chen Yingxiong: "Thirty goals, hero! Score one more!"

During the halftime break, Di Natale learned that Chen Yingxiong had scored the 29th goal. He was still one goal behind Chen Yingxiong.

I am very tenacious, and my opponent is equally tenacious. Despite being so aggressively pressed by him, he still didn't lose his position. He was truly an opponent worthy of admiration.

"Don't lose heart, Captain. We still have forty-five minutes!"

His teammates are cheering him on.

Di Natale just smiled and thanked his teammates for their kindness. But in fact, he didn't need their encouragement, because he didn't feel depressed or disappointed at all.

The competition for the top scorer this season is so fierce, and he has scored the most goals in a single season in his career.

He feels like he's in good shape, what's there to be frustrated about?

Hero, let's continue fighting in the second half!

※ ※ ※

The score in the first half was 1:0, with the visiting team Napoli leading the way, and the goal scorer was Chen Yingxiong.

During halftime, Chen Yingxiong saw assistant coach Viviani winking at him: "You are still number one, hero!"

"Di Natale didn't score?" Chen Yingxiong asked.

"No, he scored a goal and was ahead of you. But then you scored the goal, so the gap between the two sides is still one goal." Viviani explained to Chen Yingxiong.

"Really tenacious..." Chen Yingxiong did not expect that Di Natale also scored a goal. This was the last round of the league and the gap could not be opened yet.

The opponent is indeed amazing.

"Okay, I'll score another one in the second half!" Chen Yingxiong punched his palm.

There are many things to watch in this final round of the league, and the competition for the top scorer is just one of them, as well as the competition for the league championship.

This season, in the domestic arena, it is basically a competition between Inter Milan and Roma.

In the Italian Cup final on May 5, Inter Milan led by Mourinho defeated Roma 1:0 and won the Italian Cup. If they can win the league title again, they will become double champions. Since they also reached the Champions League final, they could also become the treble winners.

This is the first Triple Crown for an Italian club!

Therefore, there are two highly anticipated games in this game, one is Roma's away game against Chievo, and the other is Inter Milan's away game against Siena.

Before this game, the two teams were only two points apart. If Inter Milan loses and Roma wins, Roma can overtake Inter Milan and become the league champion.

The situation is somewhat similar to the competition for the top scorer in the league. It is not easy for the leaders, but they are under tremendous pressure. The laggards can just catch up and maybe they can achieve a miracle.

When Di Natale walked out of the player tunnel, he saw the banner "Come on, Old Gun!" again. He waved to the fans holding the banner high and thanked them for their support.

On the other side, when Chen Yingxiong walked out of the passage, his face was solemn and he looked very certified, even a little... too serious.

"The leader is under huge pressure, and you can see it from the hero's expression. If he loses the league's Golden Boot in the last round, it must be a heavy blow for him!" The TV broadcast gave Chen Yingxiong a close-up. , the commentator said to Chen Yingxiong’s face. "And he might be the butt of everyone's laughter because of it... I think that's what puts him under a lot of pressure, right?"

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong is indeed afraid of losing the league's top scorer, but this does not mean that he will lose his movement and lose his balance under tremendous pressure.

He is different from other players in that he is a very good way to vent his emotions and relieve stress. That's...a shot!

"Hero - heavy bombardment!! Since scoring the goal with long-range shots in the first half, he has consciously increased the number of long-range shots... Unfortunately, this shot missed!"

"The hero is here again, he is here again! This time he was stronger in the penalty area... poked and shot! Unfortunately, he failed to hit hard, and the football was easily confiscated by the goalkeeper..."

"The Naples midfielder kept feeding Chen Yingxiong the ball...Arshavin! Beautiful escape...through ball! The hero came in behind and successfully countered offside. What a wonderful pass-and-run combination! Shot! The ball went in...ah! Hit! On the side net! From my angle, it looks like a football has entered the goal..."

In one shot after another, Chen Yingxiong kicked the pressure thing out of the sky.

And in this shot after shot, the goal is getting closer and closer to him.

Chen Yingxiong believes that "quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes". If you only shoot two goals in a game, how can you expect to complete a hat trick? Maybe you won't even score a goal. I am not a star like Ronaldo. At this stage, naturally he can only use quantity to make up for the gap in quality - he knows that his shooting skills are not superb, and he is not yet capable of being particularly tricky and reliable in every shot, even most of them. He can't even shoot reliably now. So if he doesn't take a few more shots, he won't even be able to score.

In the 67th minute, Naples launched another attack. This time Sanchez was originally going to pass the football over the head to Chen Yingxiong, allowing him to take advantage of his header.

Unexpectedly, the football was not kicked and hit the full-back who came up to defend him, causing a line change.

Flying back.

However, this goal did not force the running Chen Yingxiong to make a sudden stop and turn, and then leap into the air to shoot with an upside-down golden hook.

Although it is beautiful to score a goal like that, the goal rate is really too low. What Chen Yingxiong wants now is to score goals, not beautiful goals, as long as he can score goals.

Therefore, Chen Yingxiong did not run to the front to grab points at first, because he found that Sampdoria had heavily guarded the goal. If he rushed up, he would have to go head-to-head with the opponent. Of course Chen Yingxiong is not afraid of head-on confrontation, but the chance of scoring in this way also plummets.

Therefore, he did not go there at the beginning, even though Sanchez passed the ball there at the beginning - Chen Yingxiong has no control over how his teammates pass the ball, and he has no obligation to catch every pass from his teammates.

He just acted according to the results he observed. He believed that moving forward would not work. So he made a fake move to rush forward, causing Sampdoria's back line to collectively pull back. Then he stopped suddenly and moved to the right.

This is the off-ball movement he has been practicing hard with Inzaghi in the copy for most of the season, and now it is finally a bit interesting. Although many of his goals still have a strong personal style, it doesn't matter, running without the ball is slowly affecting him.

At this moment, the football changed its line and turned over.

It happened to fly within the control range of Chen Yingxiong.

And Chen Yingxiong? I have used this off-ball movement to get rid of the defense before, and now I am unmarked at that time. I saw that he didn't exert much force, jumped up slightly, and shook his head in front of the incoming ball!

The football swished and rolled up the net.

So simple, so easy, the football is in!

Chen Yingxiong was stunned for a moment after he landed. He thought the opponent's goalkeeper was going to pounce on the ball or something, but he didn't expect that the goalkeeper, like everyone else, didn't say anything. He just turned his head and watched the football go in, with some annoyance on his face.

Running without the ball!

Chen Yingxiong was a little excited at the time, but he didn't show it.

Inzaghi has scored a lot of goals in his career, but you will rarely see his name and his goals on a list such as "Top Ten Wonderful Goals of the Week". Many of his goals are neither It's good-looking, but not exciting, not to mention bland, and even a little ugly.

But he can score goals!

Is there anything more important than this in the game? Everyone is competing to see who scores more goals, isn't it? To measure whether a striker is excellent, it does not depend on whether his goals are world-famous, but on whether he scores a lot of goals. This is a very simple and crude standard, without any beauty, but it is very effective. Otherwise, why would so many forwards care so much about a "top scorer"?

With his excellent ability to run without the ball, many goals that should have been very difficult to score suddenly become so easy. The number of goals scored will naturally increase. Because for those difficult goals, you need not only skills, but also super luck. Otherwise, would you let Robert Carlos try another free kick against France in the 1997 Four Nations Invitational Tournament? Let him play a hundred times, and he may not be able to reproduce it perfectly for you. This is luck.

But in this ball just now, the factor of luck was reduced to a minimum. You just need to appear in the most correct position and then perform any normal actions.

Chen Yingxiong's header just now was as easy as what he did in normal training. This is the benefit that running without the ball brings to him.

Chen Yingxiong was secretly happy, having tasted the sweetness, and his belief in practicing hard without the ball became even stronger.

Inzaghi is indeed right, running without the ball is a talent, but this talent is not something that cannot be obtained through acquired training!
