Chapter 56: A Way to Pay Tribute to the Legend (First Update)
Because of a barbed shot, Chen Yingying helped Napoli take the lead again
The initiative is back in the hands of Naples ().
Mazzarri didn't hesitate this time around, shouting from the sidelines for his team to continue to step up their attack.
Only offense can keep the team in the anetbsp; Napoli are passionate teams and should not have opted for a conservative tactical approach......
So after that, Napoli did not retreat, taking advantage of the momentum of their goal of such a beautiful goal, they launched a fierce attack on the goal of AC Milan, wave after wave, wave after wave.
Chen Yingying, who scored the goal, was very active and was the most dangerous player for Napoli during this period, whether he was fighting for the top with a header or a cold arrow from outside the penalty area, he could always make anetbsp; Not to mention that he can also use his body to protect the football, wait for support, and cooperate with his teammates.
This makes defending him anetbsp; Milan could only fight back for a while.

Maldini felt the pressure mounting. Because his physical strength dropped sharply. He could feel the energy draining from his body. After all, he was forty years old, and his physical strength was not as good as before.
And the confrontation with Chen Yingying is still a very physically demanding thing - he has to do his best every time he fights, only then can he not be overwhelmed by Chen Yingying's physical advantage.
What's worse is that he feels that the person knows that his physical energy is depleted very quickly (). Because when they collided again, he obviously felt that Chen Yingying was pushing harder......
In fact, Maldini guessed wrong, Chen Yingying didn't know that Maldini's physical energy was depleted very quickly. He pushed harder because he had to beat Maldini, and for that he had to do everything he could.
Here's what he thought – Maldini was a legend, and in order to pay homage to such a legend, he had to give it his all, use all his strength, and show no mercy. Otherwise, it would be an insult to the legend. You must not relax just because the other party is already forty years old.
Just as he faced Kahn, who was about to retire, he was as merciless as he was, scoring a hat-trick that made the UEFA Cup semi-final the last game of Kahn's European career.17351) In Germany, especially in Munich, there are many people who still can't forgive Chen Yingying, just mentioning his name is a burst of spitting. Because in their opinion, Chen Yingying ruined Karn's last season - you say you won, forget it, why do you have to score a hat-trick? Why did you fight so hard to score? Can't you just show a little mercy to Karn and save some face?
But Chen Yingying never cared about such remarks. The rules and regulations that ordinary people follow are useless to him, and he only follows the principles of his own heart. For those old legends, as long as it is a game to show respect, he has to give it his all. Bullying? I have a body, you have experience, who bullies who is not certain!
If there's one regret about that incredibly beautiful goal before, it's that when he shoots, there is not a single AC Milan defender around him, so he can only be regarded as a one-man show, and not beating the legendary defender in the process of scoring goals makes him feel even less perfect......
Fortunately, there are still more than 20 minutes left in the game, and there is time.

Every attack from Napoli was a cheer over the Stadio São Paulo.
Napoli and the northern triumvirate are natural enemies. Because the top three in the north represent the plutocratic class, while teams like Napoli claim to be representatives of the common people.
Every time they fight against the top three in the north, for Napoli fans, it is like a challenge and demonstration of the poor to the rich class, so they are extra energetic - they can't beat the rich in real life, they live in low houses, the rich have luxury yachts, they struggle in the chaotic slums of Naples, and the rich live a life of luxury. In front of those rich people, they have low self-esteem, and they may not be able to compare their annual income with a hard life.
But on the football field, everyone is equal, no matter how much money you have, how powerful you are, I have a chance to beat you. This was particularly evident in the Maradona era.
Maradona was even seen by the fans as a spokesman for the disadvantaged who were discriminated against and oppressed. Northern Italians disparaged the southern Italians as "donkeys", so after Napoli defeated the northern team, the fans let the statue of Maradona ride on a donkey as a way to show off the northern team (17351)
Maradona's success in Naples was due to a large socio-political and economic factor
After that, it was difficult for anyone to cross Maradona, and it had something to do with the changes of the times. But no matter how the times change, the hatred caused by the huge difference between the southern team represented by Napoli and the northern team will never subside, and it will even be fermented into a deeper sense of confrontation on the football field.
So when Chen Yingying helped Napoli take the lead again with a barb, the cheers in the stands were louder than before - and new fans joined the team to cheer Chen Yingxing.
Any player who can score in the northern giants is a hero in the hearts of Napoli fans!

Before you know it, the game came to the seventy-ninth minute. Counting stoppage time, there are still ten minutes left, and the game is about to end. The current score is 2:1 with Napoli leading at home.
Milan, of course, were not willing to lose the game like this. They're here for revenge, not to be rubbed in their wounds!
In the closing stages of the match, Carlo Ancelotti began to make frequent substitutions in the hope of salvaging the defeat.
He first replaced Seedorf with Kaka to strengthen his team's attacking quality on the counter-attack, and then replaced Inzaghi with Ronaldinho.
Inzaghi scored the equaliser for the team, but he was too old to be physically exhausted.
Kaka and Ronaldinho came on at the same time, and the pressure on Napoli's backline increased dramatically.
Ronaldinho can control the ball and pass the ball, while Kaka has the degree to break through and is a first-class player in the counterattack, once Kaka is allowed to lift the degree, the opponent's back line is basically dangerous.
In order to avoid such a situation, Mazzarri also made a change - he dropped both Maggio and Vitale to full-backs, and the three centre-backs became inverted triangles, with a temporary scavenger behind him to deal with the sharp backs of people like Kaka.
However, in this way, Chen Yingying, who has lost the support of his wings, is basically unable to threaten anetbsp with a header; This lightened Maldini's pressure.
But how could Chen Yingying easily let go of this opportunity to play against a legendary defender? He knew that Maldini would be retiring at the end of the season, which meant that he would not have a chance to play against him in the future. That being the case, of course, we should fully appreciate this last chance.

Napoli are now playing on the counter-attack, and Arshavin is an important figure in the counter-attack because he has the degree and the skill.
Hamsik has dropped back and his position is more of that of a central midfielder. In addition to defending, Mazzali gave him the task of using long balls more when attacking, and the ball was quick and simple, without dragging the mud.
So now after Hamsik gets the ball, he directly makes a long pass to the front, leaving Chen Yingying and Arshavin in the front, using the cooperation and tacit understanding between them to fish in troubled waters.
Actually, they don't expect them to score goals anymore, as long as they can help drag down the entire AC Milan backline up front and keep them from coming up and getting involved, it's not bad (). Anyway, now Napoli is leading 2:1.

Arshavin sprinted down the flank, and his dribbling sent the Napoli fans in the stands cheering.
When Ravitch was sent to the cold palace, they could only see such a thrilling scene in Arshavin.
All eyes were on Arshavin with the ball.
Maldini didn't even look at it, he kept following Chen Yingying.
From the moment Arshavin started to dribble the ball from the wing, Chen Yingying began to run into the penalty area.
The experienced Maldini certainly knew what he had to do, so he followed him closely.
At this time, the game had reached the eighty-third minute, and Maldini, who had been fighting one-on-one with Chen Yingying for 83 minutes, had exhausted his physical strength, but he was still gritting his teeth and persevering.
As the spiritual leader of AC Milan, how can the flag be so easily abandoned?
This time, though, he's not alone. Kaladze is waiting in front, and when the time comes, he and Kaladze will close the door as soon as they cooperate and shut him out! As long as I can entangle him now......
At this time, he caught a glimpse of Chen Yingying's sudden sudden stop!
Before he could figure out what was going on, his body also made a sharp stop, and at the same time quickly turned around and pounced on Chen Yingying. Experience told him that at this time, Arshavin must have passed the football.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yingying suddenly retreated and went in the direction behind Maldini.
The captain of Milan turned again and chased after him.
It's also thanks to Maldini, whose physical fitness is maintained quite well, otherwise these two consecutive turns would have made him take a break.
Maldini saw that Chen Yingying had slowed down noticeably, and he was turning his head to look at the side.
By this time, they had reached the edge of the big penalty area.
When Maldini saw Chen Yingying's appearance, he didn't pounce directly, but changed direction and went straight to the front of Chen Yingying, where he planned to wait for Chen Yingying.
At the same time, Kaladze and the captain switched positions - he pounced on Chen Yingying.
※※※
Arshavin was caught by Zambrotta on the inside, but there was still plenty of space in front of him, and he could continue to carry the ball if he wanted to.
But at this moment, he suddenly passed the ball on the run!
The pass was sudden, unexpected by Beckham, who had been running with him, and made Zambrotaka's defense on the inside a decoration. The ball flew straight over Zambrotta's head.
Just as Arshavin was passing, Chen Yingying, who had slowed down and had been waiting for an opportunity at the back point, suddenly started, added Kaladze, and went to the football!
Maldini watched the ball come by, and while backing up to adjust his pace, he was ready to jump and push the ball out first.
From the perspective of positional relationship, he is in front of Chen Yingying, so as long as his judgment of the landing point of the football is correct, then he can rush the football out before Chen Yingying.
When both of them felt they had reached the right time to jump, they jumped almost at the same time!
