Chapter 765: Time is Running Out
Chen Hui guessed what the situation of Napoli is now, originally after they scored a goal, the team's morale soared, and they wanted to equalize or even overtake the score quickly, but Zhang Shujie used an upside-down golden hook to completely crush Napoli's momentum.
The so-called one drum, then decline, and three exhaustion, is probably the same truth.
Chen Zihua knocked Hamsik to the ground when defending him, and the referee did not take out the card when he saw that he did not make much action, but verbally warned Chen Zihua and gave Napoli a free kick in front.
Inzaghi used a second substitution to replace Abate with Calabria, a young right-back who made his first appearance for AC Milan this season, and he is only 21 years old, having only been transferred from the development squad to the Milan first team last season and has not played much, although as things stand, he could get more opportunities this season. Because Inzaghi needs to promote a lot of young players to create the "Milan DNA" of the year.
Inzaghi gave Calabria 10 minutes, which is almost impossible to say how good he was, as long as he didn't make a mistake. Sometimes it's not too a young team.
Napoli also have to make a substitution at this time, with Mersten coming down and Insigne coming up. In this game, Mersten's performance can only be said to be decent, not as good as Milik and Callejon, and even worse than Hamsik. Maurizio Sarri will be hoping Insigne will go up to the Milan defence and if he can score a goal before the 85th minute, then at least an equaliser is still in sight.
However, with 80 minutes now played, the biggest factor in why Maurizio Sarri had such an idea was that he was now given a free-kick in a good position.
Shen Fangjian said: "Napoli's free kick in front of the field is in a good position, 26 meters away, shooting and passing are no problem, we saw Zhang Shujie, Chen Zihua, Jose Sosa, Bonaventura, Montolivo five players in the wall, the rest of the players all returned to the penalty area. ”
Donnarumma commanded the standing wall, and he shouted to Bonaventura, who was standing on the far right: "Giacomo, lean a little to the left, a little to the left at a time!"
Bonaventura took two steps to the left, followed by the other four team members, and Donnarumma shouted, "It's okay! ”
Donnarumma, who is only seventeen years old, doesn't care about his "youth" at this special moment, shouting at these big brothers, but Zhang Shujie and others will not mind, when defending free kicks, the goalkeeper is the first perspective, and the goalkeeper of any team will guide his teammates how to line up the wall when taking a free kick, and must not block the goalkeeper's sight.
Hamsik stood in front of the ball and Maurizio Sarri looked at him with some nervousness, although it was not known whether he would pass or shoot, but Sarri wanted to see the ball finally lie in the AC Milan goal.
Hamsik took a free throw, and the ball went around the jumping wall. Hamsik played a strange ball, like a pass and a shot, which made Donnarumma very uncomfortable, did he attack or not?
The ball fell to the penalty area and fell towards the back of the goal, and in the penalty area, Yan Tao, Romagnoli, Suso, Calabria, Milik, Callejon, Insigne and other players all jumped up to fight for the spot, but no one grabbed it. The ball made a strange arc and fell towards the goal.
"This ball is dangerous, it's time to test Donnarumma!" Liu Jiayuan revealed a little worry for AC Milan in his words.
At this moment, Donnarumma stood sideways, the whole person was in the air, he stretched out his right arm, and his fingers flicked the ball, and the ball deflected out of the goal and fell outside the baseline. Just when everyone thought Napoli were going to get a corner, Zielinski ran over and hooked the ball back into the box.
I don't know if he was unintentional or observed in advance, the ball was hooked by him to Insigne's feet, Insigne did not make any adjustments, and raised his foot to shoot in a somewhat awkward situation, Donnarumma fell to the ground to save, the ball hit his thigh and bounced, but it did not bounce outside, nor did it bounce into the goal, but almost vertically upwards, if the Napoli player can touch it, it can be said that after all, there is no doubt.
Milik rushed over, Calabria rushed to head the ball out before him, Yan Tao turned and kicked the ball far out of the penalty area, and AC Milan's goalmouth crisis was finally resolved.
Shen Fangjian said: "AC Milan just now is really thrilling, I feel very exciting to watch it like this, I guess those Milan fans are afraid that they will be scared out of heart disease." ”
Liu Jiayuan said with a smile: "Fortunately, Milan didn't concede the ball, and now Zhang Shujie is controlling the ball again, which is not good for Napoli." ”
Napoli are not only worried about Zhang Shujie's strong ball control, but more importantly, there is little game time, and every second of AC Milan's players control the ball, Napoli is closer to defeat.
Maurizio Sarri was still thinking about Napoli's free-kick just now, if Hamsik's lob arc was a little bigger, or Insigne's shot was a little more off, or if Milik rushed faster, as long as one of the three conditions was met, then the score would be 2:3, and the time would still be in the 83rd minute, and if it really went in, the situation on the field would be different at this time.
It's a pity that there are so many ifs, none of which really come true. Maurizio Sarri can only blame his players for their bad luck today.
Zhang Shujie didn't take much, he passed the ball to Bonaventura, and Bonaventura passed it to Desiglio, Desiglio glanced at the penalty area, only Zhang Shujie was alone, so he made the ball back to Bonaventura, and Bonaventura passed to Chen Zihua.
Chen Zihua took two steps, and under the pressure of Jorginho and Hamsik, he brought back a little, and then semi-sideways picked it up to Suso, who stuffed it again and stuffed it to Calabria, who was inserted in front.
Someone outflanked in the middle of the penalty area, Zhang Shujie, Chen Zihua, and Bonaventura all ran in, and there was a Gulang intercepting in front of Calabria, he pretended to pass the ball with his right foot, deducted Gulang, and passed again with his left foot, but Gulang had already turned around, raised his right leg, and the ball also hit Gulang's feet, and Milan threw a throw-in.
Calabria picked up the ball, Yan Tao walked over and said to him, "I'll come." ”
Calabria gave him the ball and ran to the field, Yan Tao was about to throw the ball, but the referee stopped him. Outside the court, Lapadula stood next to the fourth official, who also held up the substitution LCD sign, with the green number "18" on the left and the red number "9" on the right.
