Chapter 568: The Gap
Ravitch looked depressed, two good opportunities, but he didn't take them, and it was difficult for Ravitch to be depressed, but at the moment Joe Hart was not much better.
"It's really a feng shui turn, at the beginning, Manchester City's strong attack was quite anti-guest-oriented, but after ten minutes, Napoli, who were unwilling to do so, finally declared that this is Italy, this is Napoli, this is the Sao Paulo Stadium, and they are the owners here."
The game is like this, when the opponent is unable to break the deadlock under the strong attack, the strong attacking side begins to slowly recover, after all, people's physical fitness and energy are always limited, and the confidence that has been hurt by the strong attack is very demoralizing.
When the attacking team is recycled, the opponent knows that the next is their chance, of course, this requires the strength of the two teams to be close, and the weak team is counter-pressing the strong team to play, but that is a minority after all.
Therefore, for Napoli's strong attack, Manchester City is not worried, and after Napoli's three-board axe, the rhythm of the game will definitely return to their feet, which is the final proof of Manchester City's record this season.
However, on the football field, there is no so-called certainty and 100%, football is round, in football games, any accident is possible, which is also the charm of football.
Joe Hart kicked in a corner, Yaya Toure stepped forward for the header, and Napoli's two midfielders were still weak in headers, Yaya Toure knocked the ball back to Li Feng.
Li Feng's head was raised behind the ball, and a long pass sent the ball to the Napoli hinterland, Dzeko and Cannavaro Jr. competed for the top, Dzeko, who occupied the height and advantageous position, won the victory, Minal cut cross, unloaded the ball and burst into the penalty area, De Sanctis made a decisive attack.
"Oh oh~~~ Minard shoots, he shouldn't shoot, he should pass the ball, Adam Johnson on the other side is already reaching for the ball, although there are defenders around, but in terms of position, it is undoubtedly Adam Johnson who is better."
Although Adam Johnson has defenders around him, the difference between the two is at least half a body, and with Adam Johnson's speed and explosiveness, it is difficult for defenders to catch up with him.
However, Minar was not Li Feng, he didn't see Adam Johnson at all at first, and when he found out, he was too late to make a change.
"Maybe ~~~ This is the gap between Minar and the wind, or the gap between the wind and most people, if the wind just got the ball in that position, then Manchester City must have taken the lead now."
De Sanctis kicked the ball off the corner and Cannabal Jr. crossed to Dosena, who combined with Gargano and was intercepted by Zabaleta and Barry after crossing midfield.
Returning to the middle of the pass, Inle and Hamsik hit the wall and helped the former cross Yaya Toure, Li Feng accelerated to chase back, and Ravitch immediately retreated to respond.
With the assistance of Ravic and Hamsik, Inle rushed to the outside of the Manchester City penalty area, and then suddenly took a long shot, which also surprised everyone, after all, Inle could not break into the box in front of him, but he chose to kick directly outside the penalty area.
"Beautiful~~~~ world-class save, Joe Hart, the Manchester City goalkeeper's reaction and concentration were incredible, Inler's shot was unexpected, and the strength and angle were perfect, but even so, Joe Hart actually reacted instantly, flying and holding the ball out with one hand" However, just as the commentators were praising Joe Hart, Napoli scored.
Napoli won a corner after the ball was tipped away by Joe Hart, Ravic headed in a corner and Edinson Cavani shook off the City defender and got on the ball at the post.
"GOAL~~~Cavani~~~ Cavani, the first to break the deadlock was Napoli, in the eighteenth minute of the first half, relying on a corner kick, Napoli temporarily took the lead."
'It was a really weird goal, Edinson Cavani flicked in front of the ball and the ball got down the Yaya Toure who was following the defence, then rolled through the gap between Kolarov and the goalkeeper before hitting the inside of Joe Hart's leg and bouncing into the back of the net.
But who cares at this time, this is Napoli's home stadium, there are 40,000 Napoli fans sitting here, at this moment, they just need to cheer, they only need to give applause to Cavani, who scored the goal, because they are ahead, and this lead is likely to change their fate in the Champions League.
After the frantic celebrations, the game resumed, and although they were down by one goal, City were not in a hurry, and the successive wins in the past few months have built a strong confidence for Manchester City.
And Napoli's lead is not necessarily a good thing, the game is only twenty minutes, 1:0 is definitely the most dangerous score in the world, so now the question is, Napoli will take advantage of the momentum to break the deadlock and continue to attack to further lead, or conservative defense, as far as possible to keep this game until the end.
At this moment, not only the Napoli players were entangled, but even the fans in the stands and Mazzari on the sidelines were also entangled.
At this time, the head coach is particularly important, whether it is to continue to attack or defend conservatively, the head coach must make a decision at this time, otherwise the team is likely to fall into chaos.
Mazzarri had a great time at Napoli, but the crucialness of the game made him lose the decision he had in the past, which may be one of the reasons why Mazzarri has never been able to become a world-class manager.
It didn't take long for Mazzari to pay the price for his struggles and hesitation, and after a restart, City regained the initiative and set off an attacking frenzy due to Napoli's troubles.
In the 23rd minute, Minar and Li Feng switched positions, the former split sides, Li Feng cut inside after passing the defender on the side, and burst into the penalty area, completing a low shot that was confiscated by De Sanctis.
Three minutes later, Manchester City made a comeback, it was still Li Feng, still on the right side, but this time Li Feng chose to cross, Dzeko fought in front of the goal, although he won again against Cannavaro Jr., but the ball did not fly towards the goal, but flew directly over the crossbar.
In the 28th minute, Manchester City attacked the heart of Napoli again, Li Feng split the side, Kolarov inserted, Adam Johnson burst into the bottom line and crossed, which was cleared by Cannavaro Jr.
However, Manchester City's attack did not end, outside the penalty area, Li Feng's header was diagonally smashed, Minard volleyed horizontally, and Dzeko's penalty shot was lifted into the air by De Sanctis with both hands.
After falling, he was still at the feet of Manchester City, Minar on the right side, unloaded the ball, buckled with his left foot, opened half a body with Aronicara, and then shot directly with a strong kick.
"Minar and shoot ~~oh oh oh~~~ De Sanctis ~~~ Napoli's undeserved hero to block ~~~ No, Manchester City No. 7, Manchester City No. 7." (To be continued.) )
