Chapter 34: Each for His Master, No Mercy (Guaranteed Second Update~)

Chen Yingying met Skrtel when he walked out of the player's tunnel, and now Skrtel is Liverpool's main central defender ().

In this game, Skrtel was responsible for defending Chen Yingying.

However, there were not many encounters between the two in the first half, because Chen Yingying lacked support and did not show much. He didn't put much pressure on Skrtel. Skrtel even had time to run to break off an attempt by Arshavin to break into the box.

Skrtel, who was in a good mood, was looking at Chen Yingying with a grin.

"You did a good job in the first half, hero, continue to do this in the second half, and I'll treat you to a big meal when it's over!"

Chen Yingying rolled his eyes.

"In the second half, be careful that I blow you up!" Chen Yingying's mouth was not to be outdone.

"Hey, then let me see it." Skrtel laughed.

Arshavin walked up and punched Skrtel, "Win or lose, you're in for a treat at night!" ”

In the second half, Napoli kicked off, and from the kick-off, the football was always controlled by Napoli.

Hamsik's runs were much more aggressive than in the first half, and also more purposeful and targeted ().

He connected the whole team's offense and defense. Frenkie de Jong and Blasi swept back and forth in central midfield, helping Hamsik clear obstacles and allowing him to concentrate on organising attacks.

At the same time, Maggio and Aronica also got Mazzari to get involved in the attack at half-time. What about the empty space behind them?

Frenkie de Jong and Blasi could drop back to play as wing-backs until Maggio and Aronica returned.

At the same time, Cassano and Arshavin also actively took the ball and switched positions on the court.

There was only one person who looked no different from the first half, and that person was Chen Yingying.

He didn't run much, and he didn't withdraw from the opponent's heavily defended penalty area, just at the front.

In this way, it was as if the whole team had recovered, and he was still the same.

But outsiders don't know that this is the request of Mazzalhi's manager.

Since Liverpool is going to shrink, then Napoli will go forward and play a positional battle with them, and Napoli is not afraid, because we have a very good center!

Chen Yingying is up front, he has the ability to get the ball in the box and his header is excellent, which is very suitable for positional combat.

So Mazzarry put Chen Yingying at the front, like a nail to nail the opponent's back line firmly in the penalty area, and could not provide any support for Liverpool's counterattack. In this way, the pressure on Napoli's defense has also been reduced.

In fact, Chen Yingxing's state in the first half was not bad, but he is a center forward who needs the whole team to provide him with support, and if the people behind him are not in good shape, then he will naturally not perform much. Now that Cassano, Arshavin, Hamsik, Maggio and Aronica are all alive and well, it is only natural that he will have more opportunities.

Liverpool started out playing with Napoli in the same form as they had the impression of the first half, going back and forth at the back and then looking for space behind Napoli.

In the second half, they really shrunk their formation and wanted to play Napoli's defensive counter-attack.

So when Xavi Alonso received a pass from a teammate with his back to the attack, he didn't kick the ball out immediately, but planned to turn around and send Chu Zai forward. He's been turning his head to look in that direction, there's an open space there, Liverpool striker Fernando Torres is also there, and as long as his ball passes, it's a stunner!

But he patronized to look at this side, but forgot to look at the other side...

Behind him, De Jong was already silently approaching like a wolf.

When the two of them reached a suitable distance, De Jong rushed forward and pounced!

"Be careful.." Skrtel reminded Alonso in English. But before he could finish his sentence, he saw De Jong slam up from behind, and with a stab of his foot, the ball rolled out from Alonso's feet.

As for Alonso, he had just raised his right leg to make a long pass, and then he lost his center of gravity and fell down.

"Alonso has conceded the goal!" The narrator exclaimed.

De Jong cut off Alonso's ball and quickly distributed the ball to Hamsik on the flank

Hamsik picked up the ball and spun around and sent the ball to the wing. Mascherano came up and tried to break the ball too late......

Cassano chested Hamsik's diagonal long pass and then made a gesture to break through Liverpool defender Glen Johnson, who had deceived his defenders, and jerked back to make room for the ball.

Cassano crosses directly ()!

Although Skrtel argued with Chen Yingying before the start of the second half, saying that he was not afraid of Chen Yingying, when the football really flew up, he still mobilized his whole body nerves and stared at Chen Yingying tightly.

Chen Yingying jumped up!

He jumped too.

The two men met in the air.

But this time, out of his understanding of Chen Yingying, Skrtel stuck the position first. He wanted to throw the football out directly, but just as he was about to do so, he suddenly felt a huge impact......

He knew that Chen Yingying had bumped into him!

So he no longer expected to be able to push the football out of the danger zone, just don't let Chen Yingying hit the football......

Under pressure from Chen Yingxing, Skrtel pushed the football directly out of the bottom line.

"Corner!"

When Chen Yingying jumped up and found that Skrtel was stuck in the position, he knew that he might have no hope of going with this ball, but wouldn't it be nice if he could get a corner kick or something? So he simply crashed into Skrtel.

Sure enough, Skrtel, under his own pressure, pushed the football off the line.

The two of them landed at the same time, and Chen Yingying pulled Skrtel.

"Be careful, be careful, don't fall, or the referee will for a foul!" He teased Skrtel.

Scottle snorted, "Don't think I'm so weak!" ”

Chen Yingying smiled: "That's good, if you are knocked down by me, it will be boring ()!" ”

"During his time at Zenit St. Petersburg, Chen Yingying and Skrtel were very good friends, and the two had a close personal relationship. But in this game, the two of them have to be their own masters and face each other on the court! The narrator also noticed the fight between Chen Yingying and Skrtel.

At present, the Liverpool player who is closest to Chen Yingying in height on the pitch is Skrtel.

Originally, there was another player with the same height as Chen Yingying, Greek defender Sodiriskirgiakos (Sotcicaca), who was 1.93 meters tall and weighed 88 kilograms, but he was injured and did not appear in this game. So now the only central defender who can compete with Chen Yingying is Skrtel.

His central defender is Carragher, who is not as tall and heavy as Chen Yingying, and has to suffer some losses in terms of body.

The corner kick came out, Chen Yingying was stubbornly held by Skrtel, and he was unable to squeeze to the goal to grab the point, and the football was directly picked up by the attacking goalkeeper Reina.

Napoli suddenly increased their pace, which made Liverpool a little uncomfortable.

But as they finally began to get used to it, Napoli's attack changed again.

When attacking in front, Mazzarri is keen to have more improvisational play, which will make it difficult for the opposition to defend and create some chances.

So he has a lot of freedom in attacking the team, and players with great skills like Cassano and Arshavin can use their talents at will without sticking to tactical requirements.

In addition, the degree of cooperation of the three of them is indeed very high.

There are often some combinations that are not practiced in training...

Like this time ()!

Cassano picked up the ball on the flank, and when everyone thought he would go down to cross the ball, he slammed the ball down the middle and deceived Glen Johnson, who was defending him.

At the same time, Liverpool's entire backline was pressed outside the penalty area, a very neat line, trying to create an offside position.

But Chen Yingying was not stupid enough to rush over in one go, and then fall into the offside trap.

He had been playing in front of the defenders, with no intention of inserting in, as if he wanted to watch Cassano perform alone. At the same time, Arshavin moved from the other wing to the middle, seemingly to pick up Cassano.

However, all eyes were still on Cassano, who had the ball. He stopped, and had no intention of continuing to break through.

At this time, Chen Yingying suddenly started and rushed to the forbidden area diagonally!

Almost at the same time, Cassano shook his ankle and raised his leg to peach the football on the spot!

"Cassano Picks the Pass"

Skrtel turned around and chased after Chen Yingying almost as he passed by him, but he was still left behind by Chen Yingying.

He saw Chen Yingying open his arms and use his chest to stop the football.

"Hero! No offside! This is a great opportunity for Naples!! ”

The Italian narrator roared excitedly.

Thousands of Napoli fans in attendance also cheered, but as soon as their voices rang out, they were drowned out by the boos of the Liverpool fans.

With boos everywhere, Chen Yingying used his chest to stop the football towards the goal, which was not very good. Because the football bounced off a little, Chen Yingying planned to make a mistake. Shoot with your foot ().

But at this time, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of someone behind him!

Although Skrtel turned slowly, he didn't give up the defense, and sure enough, he saw that Chen Yingying's chest was not very perfect, and the football bounced a little...

He didn't have the ability to protect the football, and this is his chance!

Skrtel kicked his leg forward with a hard kick and ran for the football.

He planned to get rid of the football before Chen Yingying could react.

Just as he was staring at the football, he suddenly saw a back in his field of vision, and when the back appeared in front of him, he had no time to brake!

Skrtel hit his head on it!

It's dark!

Chen Yingying glanced at someone behind him, no matter who it was, and hurriedly cut a stride, and with a single step of his long legs, his body moved sideways, placing the football weight under his protection. At the same time, he leaned back slightly, ready for the impact.

Then he felt a blow in the back.

He shook his body, and finally stabilized his center of gravity, and at the same time, the football also fell, and he couldn't care about the situation behind him, so he shot with his feet!

Shoot hard!

The ball flew like a cannonball past goalkeeper Reina and into the net!

"The ball is in!!!"
