Chapter 226: It's still a tie
The game returned to normal, and the time was already eighteen minutes of the first half, but the normal game between the two sides was only thirteen minutes, and five minutes were spent in the midst of argument and confusion. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The farce slowed down the attack of both teams unconsciously, and in the past fifteen minutes, neither team had a decent shot on goal, only Cavani and Zhang Shujie each had a long-range shot from outside the box, but both were far from the goal.
In the 36th minute, Zhang Shujie and Che Guevara had a physical contact with the ball, because the two collided too violently, Zhang Shujie accidentally fell to the ground, and the referee determined that Che Guevara was a reasonable collision, and the game continued.
The boos of the home fans in the stands against the referee grew louder again, mixed with some invective, of course.
Zhang Shujie glanced around the stands, a little worried. It's fine if it's just a curse, but if there are fans who can't help but throw objects into the stadium, then it's not good for Parma. At the moment, this has not happened, but there is still nearly an hour to go, and it is inevitable that some fans will not do such uncool things.
Three minutes later, the score was still 0-0, with Napoli in the ascendancy, Edinson Cavani and Ravic frequently attacking Parma's goal, Hamsik in control of the midfield, and Giovinco could not bargain for anything on him. Because of the existence of these star players, Napoli firmly grasped the initiative, and Zhang Shujie and Li Mu in the front court could not get the support of their teammates and seemed a little isolated.
Cavani's shot was saved by Mirante, which was already Cavani's third shot of the game and the seventh for Napoli as a team, while Parma only had four, all in the first half hour, and in nearly ten minutes, Parma did not have a single shot on goal.
Marino looked anxious, and in fact he was anxious throughout the game, which contrasted strongly with Mazzal's composure. He stood on the sidelines, then sat back in the dugout, and so on.
I don't know how many times he turned around from the sidelines and walked back to the coach's seat, he suddenly heard the fans' boos for the referee inexplicably turned into cheers, he stopped and looked back, and found that Zhang Shujie was carrying the ball, and the cheers of the fans were naturally dedicated to the striker in his team.
Parma launched a surprise attack, which stemmed from a mistake by Napoli midfielder Blasi, which was intercepted by Giovinco and then passed to Zhang Shujie, and Parma launched an attack!
This was a mistake made by Blassy, so he immediately chased Zhang Shujie in front of him, to snatch the ball back, intending to make up for it. Guevara also ran directly in front of Zhang Shujie and gave him a bag one after the other. Zhang Shujie did not force a breakthrough, he knocked the ball to Crespo, and then went around Guevara, Crespo did not stop the ball, and pushed diagonally with the inside of his right foot, and the ball passed through the gap between Cannavaro Jr. and Zuniga and sent it to the front of Zhang Shujie, who was running.
A beautiful wall-hitting fit! Zhang Shujie has formed a single knife ball.
Goalkeeper De Sanctis attacked, and Zuniga also went diagonally to chase back. Zhang Shujie strode into the small penalty area, and the ball was just at his feet. He gently stopped the ball with the outside of his left foot and stabbed sideways, and the ball rolled under De Sanctis's crotch, rolled across the goal line, and made intimate contact with the net.
1:0!Zhang Shujie takes the lead for Parma!
The Tardini Stadium erupted in enthusiastic cheers. Marino also waved his arms excitedly, and after more than 40 minutes of nervousness, the team finally scored first before the end of the first half.
Zhang Shujie was also excited, he ran on the court, raised his left arm, and patted his chest with his right hand. His tenth league goal has finally arrived, taking his tally to eleven this season with the Coppa Italia. He made up his mind that he would have to score at least 15 league goals at the end of the season, so that he could add up to 16 in the Coppa Italia.
A young player in his twenties would be able to surprise the Apennines if he could really play such statistics.
His teammates were surrounding him, and Li Mu was hooking up with him. Shen Hao looked at him from the press box with a smile on his face.
"When you score a goal, it's easy to do and the news is easy to write. Shen Hao stroked the laptop, while he was muttering in his mouth, his hands were not idle, and he was quickly typing on the keyboard.
Shortly after Zhang Shujie's goal, the fourth official raised the LCD card for five minutes of stoppage time, and the first half was delayed for too long, so the stoppage time would naturally be longer, but the Napoli players still thought that the time was too short.
On the football pitch, five minutes is already a lot to happen, and Mazzarri clearly didn't want to waste those five minutes, and for the first time he walked out of the dugout, standing on the sidelines, shouting the names of the players.
"Edinson (Cavani), don't drop back too much, stay ahead! you're a centre-forward, I don't need you to defend!"
"Azequel (Ravic), you have a wider range of motion, both left and right!"
"Marek (Hamsik), you attack more! Don't keep passing the ball when it's time to shoot!"
Mazzar named three star players who will be looking to seize the final five minutes of the first half to try to get the score back and play a little better in the second half. But Parma did not go as he wanted, the players stubbornly defended, and at the moment when the referee blew the whistle, they finally held on to the score of 1:0.
When the players from both sides returned to the locker room, Zhang Shujie heard the fans in the stands on both sides shouting his name as he passed through the players' tunnel, and he waved happily to the fans.
'Very good, you did a good job and we scored first against the mighty Napoli. As soon as the players returned to the locker room, Marino praised his disciples.
Then he said: "At the beginning of the game, the referee's misjudgment made us very passive for a while, but fortunately you overcame the difficulties, and now, we have the initiative." ”
The players nodded, and Marino continued: "However, when I say you are doing well, it doesn't mean that you are perfect, I don't worry about the attack, the key is to defend! I don't want to see them score in the second half, you know?"
"Got it. The players were in unison.
Opposite is the Napoli dressing room. Mazzarri was not happy with the goals he conceded on the job, and in his opinion, Napoli and Parma were not at all the same level, with Napoli fighting for the title and Parma trying to stay out of the relegation zone completely. But even so, it was Parma who scored first.
Despite playing away from home, Mazzarri was not happy.
"Listen, I don't want to hear any excuses from you, we're six points away from AC Milan at the top of the table, and if we don't win this game, then we're basically out of the title. The last time we won the league was 21 years ago, and I don't want to extend that record to 22 years this year. ”
Mazzal's voice was flat, but the players listened loudly to the ears. He looked at Cavani: "When the second half starts, you stay in front and don't go back to the half without my instructions. ”
"Yes sir. Cavani nodded.
Mazzarri glanced at Ravic and Hamsik: "Lots of help for Edinson, lots of shots." ”
"Ok, sir. "No problem. The two said together.
"Finally, I would like to say pay attention to their strikers and keep an eye on them at all times. ”
*********************
Mazzarri wanted to attack, but he didn't make a single substitution in the second half. With the iron triangle of Edinson Cavani, Ravic and Hamsik, there is no need to think about other attacking players. If even these three can't overtake the score, the rest of the team is even less likely.
Parma will not blindly defend, Zhang Shujie is in good shape, Li Mu is also very active, the team needs them to score, this goal is not safe in front of Napoli at all. Marino adopted a defensive counterattack style of play, leaving Crespo alone in front, and Zhang Shujie and Li Mu on both sides returned to near the half court when defending, reducing the defensive pressure for the midfielders, and at the same time attracting Napoli's defenders out, relying on Zhang Shujie's speed to find opportunities to score.
Napoli's style of play also obeyed Marino's intentions, not that Marino is as expected, but the backward team will definitely strengthen the attack, not to mention Napoli, who is still aiming to win the championship again.
Ravitch broke through the defense of Gobi on the right side, crossed the penalty area, and kicked a very fast low flat ball, Parma's defenders did not dare to take the liberty of the ball, this ball is not only fast, but also with an arc, if you touch the ball casually, you are afraid that you will put yourself in an own goal.
It also gave Cavani a chance, and he fired a right-footed shot from six yards in front of goal, but Mirante could do nothing about it, but Cavani looked like he had fallen into an evil and actually pushed the ball high.
Cavani looked annoyed, and Hamsik, who was standing behind him, also held his head in his hands. Hamsik raised his hands to celebrate Cavani, but the ball didn't go in, and he could only bend his little arms and hug the back of his head.
Mazzari scolded: "Damn it!" This kind of ball should not be wasted for a top goalscorer like Cavani.
Cavani didn't want to, he shook his head, slowly walked out of the restricted area, and muttered: "Hell, why didn't you enter?"
No one answered him, the Parma players were reluctant to answer, Cavani didn't kick them off, and the Napoli players didn't have the leisure to answer because Parma were fighting back.
Napoli quickly returned to the defense, Li Mu took advantage of the opponent's unstable formation, and accelerated forward after receiving Giovinco's pass, with the instantaneous acceleration ability, he simply left Blasi behind. Blasi can't catch up, you must know that Li Mu has more than just skills on the offensive end, except for the absolute speed is a little slower, his instantaneous start will not be slow.
Zhang Shujie outflanked him in the middle, and Crespo made way for him and went to the side. The Napoli defenders thought that Li Mu was going to pass the ball, so they stepped up their defense against Zhang Shujie and Crespo, but Li Mu flicked the ball and raised his leg to shoot on the penalty line.
The ball flew halfway and was blocked by Cannavaro Jr., and was about to fall to the feet of Zhang Shujie, the Napoli players thought that Zhang Shujie was offside, but saw that the referee did not blow the whistle, so he hurriedly blocked his shooting route.
Zhang Shujie's position in this ball is not too good, in the position on the left side of the small penalty area, the angle is smaller, shooting and passing will encounter obstacles, even if it passes, it won't work, the periphery is full of people, and if you want to break through, you can only go down, but if you do this, you can barely pass people and only make the angle smaller and smaller.
He simply knocked on his own door, and perhaps there was a glimmer of hope.
He fired a left-footed shot from the left side of the six-yard penalty line, which hit De Sanctis and was blocked, but Giovinco added a kick that was blocked by Cannavaro Jr. with his back.
The ball flew out of the penalty area and landed in front of Hamsik, who unloaded the ball and turned and passed straight to Ravitch. Parma have the fast striker Zhang Shujie, and Napoli also have Ravic.
Parma's defense was also the same as Napoli before, pressing forward as a whole, and Ravic passed the ball alone, bypassing A. Lucarelli, and the front was empty.
Parma's players began to pull back desperately, and Zaccardo slowly approached Lavic, who looked up into the box and Mirante was in a position forward.
He didn't take another step, passing diagonally to the middle, Cavani and Pasi ran to fight for the ball at the same time, but Passy was clearly technically inferior to Cavani and fell behind in the confrontation between the two.
At the top of the penalty area, Cavani lifted his right foot and hoisted the ball into the air, Mirante jumped up and went to hold the ball with one hand, and his body had a backward back to make a save. However, Cavani's lob shot was skillful and Mirante couldn't touch the ball.
Three seconds later, the ball landed in Parma's goal.
