Chapter Ninety-Five: Miserable
The match between Cesena and Cagliari was staged on time, and as soon as the game began, it instantly detonated the whole game. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Both players were particularly aggressive, which meant that the intensity of the game was raised to the highest from the start.
There is no doubt that in such a game, such an opponent, the smell of gunpowder in the game is naturally very strong.
Five minutes into the game, one player from each team received a yellow card.
The referee probably expected the process of the game before the game started, so at the beginning of the game, the scale of the penalty was particularly tight.
Even so, it is difficult to effectively contain some of the movements of players on both sides of the field.
In the eighteenth minute of the game, there was a controversial scene on the field, and the players of both sides were almost surrounded by each other, and the clash was on the verge of breaking out.
In a backcourt scramble, Cesena defender Lukini shoveled the No. 8 striker of Cagliari, but the referee did not make any decision, and the referee's approach immediately attracted the dissatisfaction of the Cagliari players, so after that, the mentality began to change, and the action was also a little big.
It seems to be angry, just two minutes later, Cesena's striker Djuric was fouled by the opponent's ferociousness, this time, the referee decisively showed a yellow card, as a result, this penalty was completely disgruntled by Cagliari players, almost all Cagliari players on the field surrounded the referee, and the scene was about to get out of control for a while.
During this time, Cagliari's players and nearby Cesena players also got into a verbal altercation, and the scene became even more chaotic.
Chen Long, who was sitting on the bench, also stood up at this moment, a little worried about the situation on the field.
Thankfully, players from both sides eventually calmed down and the game continued.
Cagliari, as the leader of the league, is indeed stronger than Cesena in the overall strength, so although at Cesena's home stadium, although the game has been played for 20 minutes, there is still no goal, but Cagliari has always firmly occupied the initiative on the field, in turn, Cesena is relatively passive and uncomfortable.
Although the Cesena midfield has Zou Zhaolong, who has been in good form recently, but, without Chen Long, Cesena's attack has never been able to play, although Zou Zhaolong is still very calm in handling the ball, but no one can form an effective cooperation with him.
At this time, Zou Zhaolong misses Long Chen very much!
Chen Long actually didn't understand that Paul Zhan would arrange himself on the bench, but he didn't ask too much, he believed that Paul Zhan must have his intentions in doing this.
Therefore, although he really wants to appear at the moment, Chen Long has always remained very calm!
At the same time, he secretly observed Paul James, and found that on the former's face, he did not show any nervousness or anything like that, it seemed that the situation on the field at this moment had long been expected by him!
In the 33rd minute of the first half, Cagliari, who had overall strength, took the lead in scoring, and the striker No. 8 took the lead in the Cesena penalty area after stealing the pass from Cesena in the midfield.
Faced with Cagliari's No.8 striker's one-on-one shot, the Cesena goalkeeper didn't have time to react and could only watch the football go into the net.
The Cagliari players who took the lead were very excited, they were all celebrating loudly, as if they were venting their inner anger, and they had always had a cut in their hearts about Cesena.
Of course, this kind of celebration only lasted about a minute, after all, the game is not over yet, and even a third of the way has been played, and scoring now does not mean that the final victory will be achieved.
What made the fans feel a little different was that although the Cesena players who lost the ball looked a little lost, they were not particularly depressed.
At the same time, Cesena coach Giampoolo, who was standing in the coach's seat at the moment, was also calm at the moment when Cesena lost the ball.
Originally, this situation is also normal, but the particularity of this game, it stands to reason, should not have such a performance, so it seems a little incomprehensible.
In the thirty-ninth minute of the game, it was a big blow for Cesena, and the defender Nicha, who had received a yellow card before, was again late with a yellow card, two yellows turned into one red, and Nitsa was sent off!
Cesena, who played with 10 men, played even more difficult after the game continued.
At the same time, Cagliari's forwards also started a new round of frenzied bombardment in the Cesena penalty area, which caused a lot of pressure on the Cesena defense.
However, fortunately, the luck of the Cagliari forwards did not seem to be good, and many threatening shots on goal were rejected by the goalkeeper, until the end of the first half, and the score was still 1:0
At halftime, in the locker room, Gianpaolo's expression was a little serious, in his plan, Nicha was sent off with a red card, which should not have happened, which was a complete disruption to his plan!
At the same time, at halftime, Chen Long also took the initiative to find Paul Zhan and took the initiative to ask to play, although he knew that in the second half of the game, it was very difficult to achieve a reversal, but he couldn't give up now!
Regarding Chen Long's initiative to ask for battle, Zhan Paul seemed indifferent, and he didn't say yes or disagree, but he was still arranging new tactics!
The second half continued, with neither manager making any personnel changes. This was also unexpected by the fans at the scene, or rather, more than the expectations of the Cesena fans.
In the eyes of fans, Cesena is already very passive at the moment, so replacing Chen Long, the core of the team, as soon as possible, should be what Giampolo should do at the beginning of the second half!
Not only the fans in the stands were puzzled, but even the head coach of Cagliari was a little puzzled, you know, before the start of this game, he made a special deployment for Chen Long in the Chesena team, but until the game has been going on, Chen Long is still sitting on the substitute.
