Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Wonderful Goal
Pagliuca is not too tall, and his body is not related to the word "burly", relying on the speed of prediction and reaction. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The 28-year-old is in the prime of goalkeeping and has hardly scored anything other than to be beaten by a combined strike that makes him a "doorbell". That's why he was the number one goalkeeper in Italy at this time.
However, Maradona's back-heel pass is really wonderful, not only is it very well concealed, but also the power is just right, if you want to select the best player in the world's heel skills, Lao Ma definitely deserves it. And Inzaghi's running position for this goal was also broken, one second earlier it was offside, and one second later it was confiscated by Pagliuca, who reacted. It is his superhuman keen sense of smell that has long been a classic combination.
Inzaghi swept his way through the Sampdoria backline and stabbed the ball under Pagliuca into the net before he could pounce on him desperately.
At 1:1, Prato equalized, and it was the great Maradona who made the goal, and tens of thousands of Prato fans who came from all over Italy cheered loudly, and the name "Maradona" resounded throughout the Olympic Stadium.
After scoring the goal, Inzaghi also ran to Maradona for the first time, and made a spoof of kneeling down on one knee to salute him, and Vieri, Tomasi, Ayala, Zanetti and others next to him also playfully posed this pose together, with Maradona holding his head high and pointing to the sky with one hand, like a picture of a courtier seeing the king. The photographer on the sidelines faithfully recorded the scene, and the photo was reprinted by countless newspapers around the world the next day.
However, this goal also stimulated the Sampdoria team, and Eriksen finally made adjustments to Sampdoria, he did not choose to defend solidly, but waved his hand and signaled Sampdoria to press the attack across the line. Suddenly, the front of the Prato team's penalty area was a rumor, Gullit, Verjoward, Manini, Evani a group of 30-year-old "old men" running on the field like young men, plus their experience and technology, the Prato team's goal frequently sounded the alarm bell.
The 29-year-old is worthy of the title of the greatest nine-and-a-half in Italian football today, and the young Giuliano is clearly no match for him. With Mihajnovic's free kick in the first half, Iuliano, who was already carrying a yellow card, couldn't help but shrink a little, and there was already more than one level difference with Mancini, so he couldn't defend Mancini.
In the 73rd minute of the second half, Mancini successfully got rid of Iuliano's marking after a series of feints and counter-runs, and received a pass from his teammates at the top of the penalty area.
As soon as the score was equalized, they were immediately overtaken by the opponent, which undoubtedly greatly damaged the morale of the Prato players. Although the players on the Prato field are all future heroes, all of them are very psychologically strong, but they also finally show the impatience of young players.
Tomasi was sent off after making too much of a move at the back and finally receiving a second yellow card of the game. Prato, who had one man to play, looked even more stretched and was finally scored again by Sampdoria in the 87th minute, completely extinguishing all hopes of equalising.
After the game, despite Prato's 1-3 loss to Sampdoria, Maradona's wonderful backheel pass remained in people's memories, and many Italian media wrote articles to praise it, with headlines such as: "The king of the ball is in good shape for his debut in the new season". "See a brand new Maradona", "The King is coming!" The new season in Prato is worth looking forward to".
Therefore, although Chen Lin lost the Italian Super Cup, he didn't have much depression, just winning or losing a game, anyway, the gold content of the Italian Super Cup is like that. And now this Sampdoria team is indeed one of the top teams in world football today, so after watching the game, he still congratulated the old Manvatoni very gracefully, in the past six months, the old Manvatoni invited Chen Lin to his home in Genoa several times, the relationship between the two sides progressed quickly, and even Chen Lin got acquainted with little Manvatoni. In his opinion, little Manvatoni is not as sloppy as reported in many news in later generations, and at most his personality is a little arrogant, but when he is sincere with you, he is still a very emotional person, he is very grateful to Chen Lin for saving the old Manvatoni, and even proposed to give Chen Lin a high-end villa in Florence, but Chen Lin refused. Perhaps historically, he was too eager to prove himself to ultimately cause the tragedy of Sampdoria.
This Super Cup, the two sides watched the game in a box, although the game on the field was very intense, but the atmosphere in the box was happy. Chen Lin didn't care about failure, Manvatoni father and son would not lose their demeanor, and little Manvatoni was very impressed with Chen Lin for being able to bring the Prato team, which was still unknown two years ago and playing in the second league, to the height of being able to participate in the European Cup Winners' Cup and compete for the Super Cup with Sampdoria, even with his arrogance, he was extremely admired in his heart, so he was very willing to talk to Chen Lin Duoduo and become friends. Maybe I'm ready to recruit a Chinese son-in-law.
The elder Manvatoni has a very high opinion of several young players on the field in Prato, like Zanetti on the right side of the defense, the elder Manvatoni thinks he will become the leader of a team in the future, like Inzaghi who scored a goal, and the elder Manvatoni thinks he has the potential to become a top striker. In addition, what Chen Lin didn't expect was that the most important thing for the old Manvatoni was Veron, who only played half a game, and the old Manvatoni thought that Veron had the ability to change a team.
For this reason, the old Manvatoni also sent a test to Chen Lin, asking if there was any possibility of buying Belon. Chen Lin pondered for a while, considering that Prato always needed an ally in Serie A, so he did not completely refuse, but only proposed to let Veron train in Prato for another season or two, this season Prato is facing multi-front battles, and the task is still very heavy. If Sampdoria is willing to buy Veron at that time, Prato will not stop it.
The old Manvatoni is naturally very happy, anyway, the purchase of Veron is just for the future of Sampdoria, at least in the past two seasons, the core of Sampdoria's midfield is still Evani and Gullit.
Then the two sides also had dinner, the Super Cup defeat did not wake Chen Lin up, the previous two seasons of smooth sailing made him shift his focus from competition to commercial development, it was his decision, so that the frequent commercial games delayed Prato's already lack of training time, indirectly caused the loss of this game. Prato, who was in a hurry, also tasted the bitter fruit of his own brewing in the new season, and Chen Lin paid the price for his immaturity in club management for the first time.
This is something that everyone who has done something out of nothing must endure, after all, no one is born an all-knowing and all-powerful genius.
