Chapter 267: Double Kill Naples
The second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals arrived as scheduled.
Before the game, Napoli were big and they could have lost face after a big loss at home.
So for them, this game is a battle of life and death, but also a battle of revenge.
Napoli are under a lot of pressure from players to managers, and the club has given them a death order to get back face.
For Napoli, the first leg was a shame.
It's okay to lose, but you can't lose so embarrassingly!
Look at what the media had to say about that game.
A one-sided massacre!
I saw a group of unmotivated Neapolitans!
Napoli and Barcelona are the difference between a 'sheep' and a 'wolf'.
It has to be said that this game was a big blow to Napoli, so they hope to fight for breath in this game, at least to play a certain morale.
As for the question of whether to win or not, to be honest, even the Napoli players and the coaching staff find it impossible.
They lost at home and then found their way back at Camp Nou?
It's not realistic, but at least play better.
As for the pressure in other aspects, they can only bear it silently.
Continuing this atmosphere, the Champions League quarter-knockout stage has finally begun.
Barcelona still put on the strongest lineup, and Yile also returned to the game after missing two games.
In the previous round of the league and the Copa del Rey, the Barcelona coaching staff basically gave Yile a holiday, allowing him to rest more and replenish his physical fitness.
But back in the Champions League, they need the support of Yile no matter what.
Therefore, although this game is in a stable state for Barcelona, they still choose to play with all the main forces.
The lion fights the rabbit with all his might.
Players on both sides walked out of the tunnel.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but there is always an extremely depressing atmosphere in Naples.
No one is talking, no one is smiling, no one is even raising their hand.
They are not like a warrior going to battle, but prisoners about to step into the gallows.
It's a weird feeling!
When the Napoli players entered the field, they felt a little weak under their feet.
They still underestimate the influence of the Camp Nou.
The cheers of 100,000 people exploded in their ears like muffled thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth.
As far as the eye can see, the sea of red and blue is as turbulent as an angry tide.
And in this angry sea, Naples is like a flat boat, as weak as it is.
The two sides guessed the side, and Barcelona chose the ball.
The coaching staff has a tactical direction and they want to start attacking aggressively as soon as possible to get the game off as soon as possible.
After advancing to the quarterfinals, the competition between the strong teams will show the real competitiveness of the Champions League here.
The referee from Norway blew the whistle for the start of the match. Longlong
Suarez kicked off and passed, and De Jong received the ball and continued to pass back.
The ball eventually came to Yile's feet.
The scene erupted in loud cheers, and the Barcelona fans were excited by just one such image.
Since the start of the season, Yi Le's performances have been evident, and his aggressive attacking style has fascinated Barcelona fans.
Therefore, every time Yile holds the ball, the game will be brought to a climax.
And Yile's decision did not disappoint the expectations of the fans.
Yile controlled the ball and looked up to see that two Napoli strikers stepped forward to interfere and tried to break the ball.
The two of them rushed to the front and back feet, trying to clamp Yile.
But Yi Le didn't give them a chance, and with a light buckle at his feet, he was about to wipe it from the left side, and the Napoli players were deceived by shifting their focus.
At this time, Yi Le suddenly pulled the ball and turned around, breaking through diagonally.
The instantaneous explosiveness makes Yile directly break away from the guard, get out of the passive situation, and further control the initiative of the midfield.
Seeing this, the on-site commentator Comans praised: "Yi is in the midfield, we don't have to worry about losing the ball, his ability to hold the ball is too strong, if there are no three players pressing him at the same time, it will be difficult for the opponent to get the ball from Yi's feet." ”
Yi Le came to the center circle with the ball and stepped into the opponent's half, and under the expectant eyes of the fans, he did not make any further moves, but handed the ball to De Jong.
In this game, Valverde had a clear indication for Yile to delay the organization.
Valverde is not a risk-taker and with a three-goal advantage on the road, he decided to play it safe and win this game.
Yile also faithfully implemented this set of tactics, and the whole person was rooted in the midfield, allowing De Jong and Barcelona's new generation of tridents to rampage in the front, and he was sitting in the back.
Barcelona put a lot of pressure on the attack, Messi frequently created threats on the wing, and on the other side, Griezmann and De Jong also staged cross-runs from time to time, causing chaos in the Napoli backline.
It's just that Napoli's back line is chaotic, but it doesn't collapse, and it always makes up for it and makes the right decisions in dangerous moments to help Barcelona attack.
Seeing this, Yi Le thought to himself: 'More pressure needs to be applied. ’
Thinking of this, Yi Le decisively pulled to the left wing, came directly behind Messi, and made a covering gesture.
Yile suddenly moved forward, which scared the hearts of the Napoli players.
Despite just a few steps forward, a simple lateral move, the Napoli players couldn't help but wonder if this was Barcelona's attacking signal.
As they guessed, Barcelona suddenly picked up the pace.
Frenkie de Jong was on the edge of the penalty area and suddenly split on the right wing, and Griezmann made a gesture of cutting inside with the ball.
The whole defence tilted to the right, and just then, Griezmann suddenly picked up the ball and the ball flew towards the back post.
The Napoli players looked up at the ball in the sky and watched for the landing.
There's no one at the back point?
At this time, Messi and Suarez are both in the big penalty area, who can be in the back?
Just when they were confused, a figure suddenly came into view, Yi Le rushed from the wing at high speed, and after coming to the landing point, he jumped violently.
"Stop him!!" The goalkeeper was dumbfounded, and after shouting, he rushed to the left.
Albeit a little slower, it still blocked the angle of the shot.
Under everyone's gaze, Yi Le's body was still climbing in the air, and without any interference, Yi Le's bouncing force was fully released, and the technique came to the top of the ball, and he slammed his abdomen on the ball.
The ball suddenly thinks about the ground in the middle, not the goal.
And there, one leg quietly stretched out, and with a light pad, the ball smashed on the instep of the foot and bounced into the net.
In the first 18 minutes of the game, Barcelona scored the first goal.
