Chapter 767: Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat
On the field, Napoli full-back Hisaj immediately pounced, and directly fell to the ground and slid towards Tarantini.
Tarantini reacted quickly, stopped directly and pulled the ball back, and knocked the ball to the middle with his heel, and the ball quickly rolled to the middle and assisted the feet of Pelle.
Pelle didn't stick to the ball, and directly made a long pass over the top to pass the ball to Novais, who was rushing forward on the other side.
Novaiz scrambled forward and just as the ball was about to fly off the line, he scrambled to pass it into the Napoli box.
"Novaiz crosses with his feet, and Lopes follows up in the middle." Sky Sports commentator Baroni immediately shouted loudly.
"Lopes headers!" Sky Sports commentator Montoli also shouted loudly, loudly.
With a thud, López's head slammed into the ball, which flew quickly towards the Napoli goal, and the speed of the ball was quickly threatening.
Napoli's goalkeeper Sepe reacted quickly, took off directly, and knocked the football out of the bottom line with one palm, turning the tide and trying to keep the goal intact.
"Beautiful! Sepe's save was beautiful, very good. Sky Sports commentator Baroni finally relaxed a bit at this point.
"Corner, Braga got a corner!" Sky Sports commentator Montoli said immediately.
Novais, who was on the wing, took the ball directly into the Napoli penalty area, and Géraldes, who was in front of him, jumped high but did not reach the ball, and the ball immediately flew to the middle.
Koulibaly, in the middle, jumped straight up and headed the ball out of the box.
But the football was not far away, and Lopez, who was outside the penalty area, saw the football flying towards him, and he directly volleyed the football sideways and swept the football towards the Napoli goal.
The ball was fast, but just a little higher, and the ball flew over the Napoli crossbar and off the line.
Honk-----!
The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
At the end of the half, the away Napoli team, with Jiang Chen's goal, led the Braga team 1-0.
In the first half of the game, the performance of the Napoli team was still very good, especially Jiang Chen, everyone didn't expect that this guy could appear in the starting list today, and even didn't expect him to appear in Portugal.
Jiang Chen's appearance gave everyone a big surprise, and in this game, Jiang Chen's performance was still very good, putting a lot of pressure on Braga, causing a lot of trouble, and also scored a goal to help the team take the lead.
Jiang Chen was the best player on both sides in the first half of the game, and the Napoli fans were excited.
However, this has caused Braga's head coach Abel and the Braga players to worry and at the same time cause headaches.
Abel could see that Jiang Chen was in very good shape today, and there were a little traces of injury.
Jiang Chen's state today, if he doesn't strengthen his suppression, it is very likely that this second half of the game will directly evolve into a fiasco.
Abel was very headache at this time, he immediately asked Monte, in the first half, he was Pamont to keep an eye on Jiang Chen, and what he told him was to let Monte not give Jiang Chen a chance, but Jiang Chen still scored.
Monte was helpless, and he immediately said to Abel: "Chen is too strong, he can't hold it at all, and he can't keep an eye on him alone." ”
Abel shook his head helplessly and sighed, how could he not know?
In fact, Abel had already seen that Monte was very difficult to defend Jiang Chen, and even couldn't prevent it at all.
But there was no other way for him.
If two people are allowed to defend Jiang Chen, then they will expose more gaps, and the strength of the players of the Napoli team is very strong, and if they are given a little space, they will suffer a devastating blow.
This also made Abel feel helpless, he really couldn't restrain Jiang Chen.
This is the sadness of a small team, if it is a big club, his players and the players of the Napoli team, there will not be such a big difference in strength.
At this time, Abel still reminded Pelle to help Monte defend as much as possible when defending, keep an eye on Jiang Chen, and don't give Jiang Chen a chance.
Of course, Abel also reminded Braga's players that they should strengthen their attack in the second half, this is a game they cannot afford to lose, and if they lose, their Champions League journey this season will be over.
Naturally, the players of the Braga team did not want to, so they left the Champions League stage, and they wanted to continue.
Braga's players are holding their breath and they must beat Napoli to secure the last chance of qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League.
Napoli's side is much more relaxed, the Napoli players have smiles on their faces, this game is a relatively easy game, the Napoli players, feel that the second half of the game should be easier.
The players of the Napoli team naturally saw that Monte couldn't defend Jiang Chen at all, and as long as they strengthened this point of attack in the second half, they would be very easy to win this game.
However, in the dressing room, Napoli manager Maurizio Sarri still reminded the Napoli players not to be careless and play this game seriously, they don't want this game to go any way.
The players of the Napoli team naturally nodded in agreement, and the players of the Napoli team did not relax their vigilance, and they had to win this game.
However, at the beginning of the second half, Braga still surprised the Napoli players.
At the start of the second half, Braga had a very good chance.
After the start of the second half of the game, Braga suddenly launched a ferocious attack, and the pace of the attack was also very fast, Tarantini on the wing suddenly sent a very beautiful pass, and the football flew directly to the feet of López, who was cut forward on the wing.
Lopes was very fast, which put a lot of pressure on the players of the Napoli team.
López's high-speed breakthrough broke through two Napoli defenders in a row, and the Braga fans at the scene were very excited, shouting López's name one by one.
After successive breaks, Lopes suddenly reversed and sent the ball straight to the wing.
At this time, Braga's full-back Tarantini stepped up to the edge and quickly caught up with the football, and he still had time to look up to observe the Napoli penalty area, and then Tarantini swung straight back and curled the ball into the Napoli penalty area.
