The barrage in the live broadcast room was filled with “awesome”.
Many netizens are also discussing which one is more worthy of being selected for the Puskas Award, this shot or the amazing long-range shot against Lazio!
Liu Yue: "This was a zero-degree shot, the ball went into the goal entirely by the arc.
The Napoli players did not seem to expect Chen Xiaoliang to come in and end the attack in this way. ”
Liu Yue is right!
The Napoli players on the field were really confused at this time!
This item is not included in the pre-match analysis!
How could a defensive midfielder who was only able to defend and cross the ball in a report get to the bottom line of the penalty area and make an incredible zero-degree angle shot?
Shi Qingsheng: "Chen Xiaoliang ran from the backcourt to the frontcourt to grab the ball, but his teammates' movement in the penalty area also created space for him to shoot."
Chen Xiaoliang himself was also surprised. In fact, that kick was a cross, but he used his left foot because there was no angle at the baseline. The force was a little stronger. Unexpectedly...
But this forced him to continue pretending.
His teammates hugged him and shouted wildly, and some pushed him to celebrate with the fans in the stands!
Chen Xiaoliang said he would not go anywhere...
Especially when you look around, the stands behind Napoli's goal are all Roma's diehard fans, a bunch of big men, and quite a few of them are shirtless. If they were locked up by the neck and held in the arms... I'm afraid it wouldn't be as simple as suffocation... Maybe they'd even get a mouthful of chest hair...
After the celebration, everyone returned to their respective halves, the referee blew the whistle, and the game continued!
This time it was Napoli's turn to kick off.
After all, the team with 8 consecutive wins is not a false reputation. In the next 5 minutes, the ball was basically passed back and forth in Roma's half.
Facing Roma's full retreat, Napoli had no choice but to patiently organize attacks and look for opportunities.
Roma's several long pass counterattacks after getting the ball were also cut off by Napoli's defense, and they returned to the half-court offense and defense drill mode.
However, with a one-goal lead, the Roma players defended very actively, and the Roma fans in the stands kept singing the Roma team song!
The players of Naples found that their fast attack mode, which they relied on to crush the enemy this season, was completely unusable against Roma. Except for Cesco, the other 10 Roma players all retreated near the penalty area line. In such a small space, not to mention breaking through, even long shots would hit the defenders.
Moreover, several offensive players in the front court were even more impatient. They found that they were completely unable to get rid of this young man from the Red Country whom they met for the first time.
You try to shake him off with a skillful move , but he will cling to you with his body;
You want to use tough confrontation to push him away, but he restricts you severely with steals!
Almost all positional warfare organizations emphasize the combination of the wing and the center, but now the center is firmly controlled by Chen Xiaoliang. The center cannot be opened up, and they can only make moves on the wing. There is no advantage in headers, and there is no space for inverted triangles. Napoli can only choose to force long shots or crosses to complete inefficient attacks.
Before the game, Spalletti repeatedly stressed that the team's four defenders were not allowed to press forward too much. Even if one of them pressed forward to participate in the attack, the other three had to stay near the center line to prevent Roma from launching a quick counterattack.
This means that Napoli often uses 6 people to attack Roma's position of 10 people.
Liu Yue commented without a doubt: "The game is entering the stage set by Mourinho, and the bus has stopped in front of Roma's goal."
In the 11th minute of the game, Insigne received a pass from the backcourt and once again challenged the center.
He is the captain of Napoli and a key player in Italy's European Cup victory. How could he accept that he was helpless against a 17-year-old kid?
Facing Chen Xiaoliang, Insigne quickly flicked the ball with his left foot, exerted force with his right foot, and rushed to the front left.
He believed that this sudden change of direction at such a high speed would definitely induce the defender to make a fierce response, because otherwise he would be overtaken by him in one step!
Sure enough, Chen Xiaoliang immediately moved to the right following Insigne's change of direction!
This is the moment Insigne has been waiting for!
Just as Chen Xiaoliang moved his right foot, he gently pushed the ball with the inside of his left foot and kicked the ball between Chen Xiaoliang's legs!
Pass through the crotch!
And in full view of everyone in the middle lane!
Insigne was ready to use this extremely humiliating way of passing to destroy Chen Xiaoliang's self-confidence!
In his eyes, this is just a 17-year-old player who plays football with great fighting spirit, and it is impossible for him to have good psychological adjustment ability.
Anger, complaining, stage fright, panic, these are emotions that young players can easily experience during a game!
In terms of skills, experience and ability to deal with important games, Insigne believes that there are few people in the entire Serie A who can match him!
Either destroy the confidence of this red country kid, or provoke him to make him commit a foul and get a card. Either way can help the team open up an offensive channel in the middle!
Insigne was ready to pass by Chen Xiaoliang with full confidence!
However! The script did not go according to Director Insigne's plan!
When his lightning-fast ball was about to pass between Chen Xiaoliang's legs, Chen Xiaoliang suddenly put his legs together, like skipping rope, and blocked the ball!
Insigne passed, but the ball stayed!
The fans watching the game could not see the rich drama in his heart, they just felt like he took the initiative to pass the ball to Chen Xiaoliang!
Chen Xiaoliang adjusted his pace and prepared to dribble the ball forward to launch a counterattack.
Suddenly someone pushed him from behind, and the sudden impact made him lose his balance and fall to the ground!
"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle!
Chen Xiaoliang turned around and found that it was Napoli's forward Osimhen!
He even pushed with his hand when he stretched his legs to grab the ball.
This is obviously urgent!
The referee called Osimhen over, gave a few warnings, and then awarded Roma a free kick in the backcourt.
As the captain, Insigne quickly went to persuade Osimhen to be kinder to the referee!
He didn't expect that his perfectly designed dribbling move would almost earn his teammate a yellow card...
On the sidelines, Mourinho refused to do it!
He made a gesture of pulling out a card and repeatedly shouted to the field, putting pressure on the referee, implying that this was an action of pushing someone from behind that should have resulted in a card.
Mourinho's actions sparked unanimous support from the home fans, who booed the referee together.
The referee had no choice but to run to the sidelines and warn Mourinho after warning Osimhen.
After a while, the game continued.
Patricio took the free kick.
Abraham and Cesco compete for the header in the frontcourt!
But the ball was still blocked by Koulibaly!
Oh shit!
Chen Xiaoliang was shocked. This big black guy was incredible. He was really good at frontal defense. Neither of the two forwards could defeat him alone.
As soon as Napoli got the ball, they launched an attack and the entire Roma team quickly retreated.
Politano got the ball on the right and Zalewski followed him to defend.
Politano cuts in! Zalewski sticks in!
In terms of speed, the young Roma player is a little faster without the ball!
Politano passed the ball to Zielinski, and Chen Xiaoliang appeared in front of him.
Seeing that Insigne had suffered a loss just now, Zielinski was not going to choose to dribble past the opponent again, but instead kicked the ball directly into the penalty area!
Shi Qingsheng: Zielinski made a lob pass into the penalty area. It was an overhead pass! Osimhen in front was making a run! "
Liu Yue: "The ball was probably passed a little off-center. Chen Xiaoliang's defensive action blocked all of Zielinski's passing routes. In order to prevent his pass from being disrupted, he could only choose a wider angle."
Shi Qingsheng: "Osimhen jumps up! He fights for the ball with Ibanez in the air!"
"Ibanez down!"
"Osimhen shot after landing!"
“The ball goes in!”
"But the referee blew the whistle in advance!"
"The Napoli players celebrated for only one second!"
"It's a yellow card! In the 13th minute of the game, the referee showed the first yellow card of the game to Napoli striker Osimhen!"
"Let's look at the replay. When he was competing for the header in the air just now, he clearly used his elbow to hit Ibanez in the face!"
"That's a clear elbow!"
Liu Yue: "As I said just now, because Zielinski's pass was at a larger angle, Osimhen couldn't get the ball directly. In addition, his mentality seemed to have changed and he became impatient. The two consecutive active violations made the referee feel that he had to take out a card to control the rhythm of the field and prevent the physical actions of both sides from escalating further."
On the sidelines, Napoli assistant coach Domenichini shouted at Osimhen, pointing at his temple, asking him to use his brain and not act recklessly.
Spalletti looked dissatisfied, with his hands folded across his chest, as if to say: "Hurry and you will be confused, and rush and you will be tired."
The happiest person was Mourinho, although there was no expression on his face.
The pressure I exerted just now really worked. Not long after the start of the game, the main center forward of the opposing team received a yellow card, and from then on, there was no longer any large-scale physical confrontation.
Patricio kicked off again.
Still kicking the ball forward, the main theme today is to use long passes to bypass the opponent's midfield and directly find the fulcrum in the frontcourt!
But this time he didn't look for the middle road, but drove to the front left.
Neither Abraham nor Politano jumped, the two were squeezed together, Abraham leaned against the other with his back and unloaded the ball!
Chen Xiaoliang flashed past them!
Abraham didn't turn around, but lightly kicked the ball with his heel and passed it to Chen Xiaoliang who was making a run!
While Insigne was returning to defend the middle, he stared with wide eyes at the red players running wildly on the left.
What did this person grow up eating?
Jin Ke La?
How can a person develop into this at the age of 17?
Neither Anguiza nor Ruiz in the middle chose to intercept Chen Xiaoliang.
He started running at an accelerated speed and I couldn't catch up with him.
However, they were not panicked because there was another person next to Chen Xiaoliang.
Di Lorenzo! He is competing with Chen Xiaoliang in speed!
"Both of them are like cars in fifth gear! They step on the gas pedal!"
" Xiaoliang's dribbling is simple and crude, just dribbling forward!"
"This has never happened to him before!"
"It seems that Mourinho has assigned him a new task today!"
"No change of direction, no ball control, just dribbling the ball out, and then pure running speed!"
"Both of them have reached their maximum speed!"
“Neck and neck!”
"There was physical contact between the two as they ran!"
"Di Lorenzo is trying to push Chen Xiaoliang out of bounds!"
"In defense, using your body and blocking your position is always a practical and effective defensive method!"
"But his strength and power don't seem to be enough!"
"As I pushed forward, my speed actually slowed down!"
Koulibaly was staring at Abraham at this time, and Ramani was still sticking to Cesco. They were both running towards Napoli's penalty area, while also watching the shocking scene in front of them.
Chen Xiaoliang didn't have time to look up and observe the penalty area. He could only look at the path and the ball in front of him!
DiLorenzo's speed is indeed well-deserved!
Seeing that he was about to catch up with the ball, Chen Xiaoliang didn't have to do any fancy moves, and there was no need for him to do any dribbling moves at this time!
He swept his left foot and kicked a cross before falling to the ground!
Low ball! Very fast!
Abraham and Cesco both ran over, realized the ball was not coming to them, and stopped in the penalty area.
Behind him, Pellegrini followed!
The ball is looking for him!
The captain of Roma shot the ball with a bang! Taking advantage of the force, the ball immediately shot towards the goal!
"Ospina dives to the right to save the ball!"
“It’s too late!”
"Oh!"
Like the two commentators in the live broadcast room, all the fans in the stadium sighed "Ahhh" together!
The ball was hit high!
DiLorenzo gasped for air, feeling his heart pounding.
He looked at Chen Xiaoliang who was getting up and running back beside him.
The more I look at it, the more incredible it seems!
What's this?
A defensive midfielder?
A defensive midfielder used this most brutal way of acceleration to break through my side?
Is this Roman tactics?
Is there anyone who doesn't play by the rules?
Mourinho is very proud!
He told his trusted general before the game that those who run faster cannot compete with you as well as you, and those who run better than you cannot compete with you as fast as you!
However, letting Chen Xiaoliang cross the ball in this way was not his normal plan.
He wanted to use this method to create space for Chen Xiaoliang when controlling the ball in the midfield and backcourt.
Sure enough, after several non-threatening offensive and defensive transitions between the two sides, the ball came to Chen Xiaoliang's feet again.
Zelensky beside him immediately took a few steps back!
Once your speed is remembered by the opponent, the defender will subconsciously keep a distance from you to prevent you from using a quick start to pass him in one step!
Mourinho asked Chen Xiaoliang to accelerate on the wing, creating a safe space for the team to pass the ball in the backcourt.
Seeing that the previous offensive method was not working and the team was about to lose another goal, Spalletti made tactical gestures to the players.
Napoli's attack slowed down instantly.
They began to make short passes with multiple players on the right side to create a multi-player advantage in a local area.
A strong team cannot have only one or two offensive tactics. Faced with different situations on the field, they also need to come up with different response strategies.
Spalletti saw that Roma would steal as many balls as they could today, and would park the bus in the middle the rest of the time, so they would not deploy a large number of defensive players on the wing, which would affect the defensive density in the central threatening area.
The high pass was not threatening at all, and the reckless Osimhen even received a yellow card, which put him at a greater disadvantage when competing for the header.
If you can't handle the bold and open moves, then you can only try the delicate work of embroidery needle!
In the 22nd minute, Anguissa dribbled forward and met Veretout at the front of the penalty area. He passed the ball to Politano on the right.
Di Lorenzo came in and Zalewski followed to defend.
Politano pushed the ball forward and Abraham followed closely behind him.
Di Lorenzo suddenly made a counter-run!
Politano gave him the ball and then moved forward at high speed!
At this moment, Abraham and Zalewski were surrounding Di Lorenzo and missed Politano!
Their first reaction was not to wait for their teammates to return to defense, but to rush to the baseline to fill the position!
However, Di Lorenzo did not pass the ball to Politano, he cut inside himself!
Veretout blocked the ball route and Di Lorenzo passed the ball back to Anguisa.
Anguisa pushed forward and Abraham ran back to defend him.
In this way, three or four Napoli players concentrated on the wing and constantly made triangle passes and off-ball assists, fully mobilizing and disrupting Roma's wing defensive formation.
Just when Zalewski and Abraham were dizzy from the constant defense, Di Lorenzo made a short pass to Politano who entered the penalty area!
Ibanez did not rush forward. How could the parked bus be moved at will? The three central defenders had to cover the threatening area in front of the goal.
Politano looked up and saw, wow!
In addition to goalkeeper Patricio, there are three central defenders guarding the left, middle and right sides of the goal. In front of the three central defenders are two midfielders, Chen Xiaoliang and Veretout. Mkhitaryan on the other side also retreated into the penalty area. Pellegrini and Zaniolo are still standing on the penalty area line!
There are 10 Roma players in the penalty area!
A veritable Moulin Bus!
Seeing Zalewski rushing towards him again, Politano shot directly from a small angle!
It hit Ibanez who was blocking the route and bounced out of the baseline!
Napoli corner kick!
Spalletti nodded. He was very satisfied with the players' resolute implementation of his tactics!
Football is a game of strategy, and you must be patient!
Now it was like a boxing match, Napoli kept hitting Roma's ribs with heavy punches, but Roma, no matter how much pain it was, just used his hands to protect his face.
Under the constant beating, Naples is waiting for Roma to feel the pain!
Even the most dense defense will have loopholes!
As long as his ribs are opened, he will slightly move one hand to protect his ribs, and that's when his front will be exposed!
There are about 70 minutes left in the game, and Spalletti believes his players can completely control the game!
Di Lorenzo took the corner kick, he pushed it lightly, it was a tactical corner kick!
Politano made a short pass to the middle, Ruiz received the ball and shot from a long distance!
The ball hit Veretout and bounced back!
Anguisa next to him controlled the ball and passed it to the side!
After taking the free throw, Di Lorenzo retreated to receive the ball but instead of passing it to Politano who was standing on the edge of the penalty area, he rolled the ball to him.
Before Zalewski could get the ball, Politano made a long pass to the left!
After the right hook, it’s time to throw the left hook!
Rui receives the ball and passes it to Insigne!
The captain of Napoli was much more direct, he shook off Mkhitaryan and headed into the penalty area!
Mancini remained motionless in front of the near post!
Chen Xiaoliang posted it!
Insigne immediately passed the ball to the middle, the only passing route among a bunch of long legs!
Osimhen retreated, received the ball and shot!
Smalling stuck to him! He was the last line of defense in front of the goal!
Osimhen fell down! The ball was not shot!
"Penalty!"
"Fake fall!"
On the sidelines, Spalletti and Mourinho shouted at the same time!
On the field, players from both sides gathered around and blamed each other!
Smalling reached out to pull Osimhen, shouting, "Stop pretending, stand up!"
As soon as his hand touched Osmeen, Osmeen rolled on the ground and groaned in pain as if he had been electrocuted!
The referee actually saw it clearly.
There was indeed physical confrontation between the two, but it was all within a reasonable range. Osimhen stepped on the ball and fell, but his movements were particularly exaggerated, and he was obviously trying to get a penalty.
You said he was diving, he did fall...
You said give me the cards, but I can't afford it...
The referee was in a difficult situation and could only yell at the players on both sides to stay calm and disperse as soon as possible!
But the situation on the field was not under control yet, and the two head coaches on the sidelines started to quarrel with each other!
Mourinho was the first to find the fourth official to start trouble.
"This is diving! He should be given a yellow card!"
How could Spalletti tolerate Roma's unilateral pressure on the referee team? He immediately ran over and shouted back: "Dirty football! This is a penalty! Don't try to manipulate the game!"
"I manipulated the match? No matter how dirty my football is, it's not as hypocritical as the diving actors!"
Before the fourth official had a chance to speak, the two men started arguing!
The director was too lazy to focus the camera on the players on the field and immediately cut over.
After all, the players on the field didn't fight, so how could it be as fun as watching Mourinho quarreling?
The fourth official and the staff nearby put their hands apart, and Mourinho and Spalletti pointed at each other, talking non-stop and making witty remarks!
The referee heard the referee team's instructions in his headphones and was happy.
It’s just that you don’t know what to do, but the fish comes before you even put the bait!
He took out the yellow card from the small bag on his chest!
The players from both sides who were gathered together immediately shut up when they saw that the referee was serious!
Osmein was shocked and thought that if this happened to him, he would be in trouble!
However, the next scene made them all breathe a sigh of relief!
The referee ran away?!
He ran to the sidelines and raised a yellow card to Mourinho!
When Mourinho saw that the referee was shooting him, he complained a few words and had to return to his coaching area.
Spalletti clapped ! Celebrated loudly!
The referee turned around and raised a card to him as well!
Spalletti is confused!
I am really applauding you! I am not mocking you!
No matter what, there is no reason for the referee to take back the card he has drawn.
Just like that, the two head coaches were like two teddy dogs that were kicked by their owner. Although they were very unhappy, they could only return to the coaching area with their hands folded, not daring to say a word.
