Chapter 018: Dazzling Scorpion Tail Swing! (The 4th update, 10,000 words for a monthly pass)
When Jiang Chenxi was surrounded by Dortmund's players to celebrate, the camera immediately showed Napoli's Argentine star Higuain.
The Argentine's face was a little gloomy and it was clear that he was not in a good mood.
At this time, in the chairman's box at the São Paulo Stadium.
"What's going on?" Napoli boss De Laurentiis asked the club's sporting manager Bigon.
"Probably, maybe our players were distracted...... The game had just started, and they weren't focused enough to get into the game yet......" Bigon said uncertainly.
"Fuck!" De Laurentiis scolded.
Bigon didn't speak, he didn't know if Mr. Chairman was scolding the goal or the team's head coach Benitez.
In the summer, Napoli was chasing Jiang Chenxi at the beginning, and the reason why they didn't take out Jiang Chenxi's 20 million euro termination fee for the first time is a story behind this, although Napoli is not a local tycoon, but 20 million euros can definitely be taken out at any time, not necessarily until the transfer income of Cavani is sold, one of the reasons is that the team's new head coach Benitez prefers Higuain......
It is conceivable that if Higuain did not score today, and Napoli lost at home because of Jiang Chenxi's goal......
In Naples, there is only one real big man, and that is the boss De Laurentiis, and if he makes the boss unhappy, Benitez's life will not be easy.
……
The camera also gave a close-up of the chairman's box, the image of the Neapolitan boss with a blue face, which was presented to the TV audience.
"This game is an exam for Benitez to coach Napoli, if he loses at home to Dortmund, in this group of death, Napoli's prospects will be clouded, and De Laurentiis will definitely be very unhappy." Italian commentator Ventola said.
Fifteen minutes later, a smile finally appeared on the face of the Napoli boss.
It was Hamsik's long-range effort that forced Weidenfeller to make a save and Napoli won a corner.
Zuniga crosses from a corner, Higuain forces Subotic to head the goal near the penalty spot, and the ball flies into the right corner of the goal!
For this goal, Weidenfeller could not do anything.
1:1!
Napoli equalised.
"Higuain!" Italian commentator Ventola shouted, "His goal made De Laurentiis smile, a beautiful header, also scored with a header, is Higuain responding to Jiang with this goal?" ”
The camera also found Jiang Chenxi immediately in an interesting way, and the Chinese shooter fished the ball out of his own net and ran to the center circle with the football in his arms.
At this moment, an unexpected situation arose on the sidelines.
The referee on duty, Webber, ran to the sidelines, he said something to Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp with a serious expression, and then pointed to the stands!
'Aha, Jurgen Klopp seems to have vented his frustration with the referee and now he's sent off for the stands.' Italian commentator Ventola gloated and smiled.
Slow-motion replays showed Klopp rushing to the sidelines, making an offside gesture and snarling into the pitch as the Napolitans celebrated their goal.
Then the referee came over and exchanged a few words with Klopp, and sent the Dortmund manager into the stands.
'It looked like Jurgen Klopp was at odds with the goal and he thought there was an offside situation in the process.
Slow-motion replays of the goal, Higuain was not offside at the moment of Zúniga's pass, but Callejon was in an offside position and seemed to be blocking the goalkeeper's view.
……
The camera once again showed Klopp in front of the stands, with the Dortmund manager snarling with his mouth wide open.
"He looks like he's going to eat referee Webb in one bite." The narrator quipped.
What impression did Jurgen Klopp make on fans around the world? Fluffy blonde hair, black-rimmed glasses, thick fibrous roots, but the first thing that comes to mind is his mouth. Jurgen Klopp is a coach with a lot of expression, and he is full of mood. His big mouth is particularly eye-catching, and when he grits his teeth, he looks a bit like a psychopathic murderer, or a mad scientist who aspires to destroy the world.
This moment is like this.
'Jurgen Klopp was so uncool and now the score has been equalised by the Napoli and manager Jurgen Klopp has been sent off in the stands again. German commentator Erik. Lange said with some anxiety, "Dortmund is in trouble. ”
Jurgen Klopp was sent to the stands by the referee, which was a big blow to Dortmund.
Jurgen Klopp is the soul of the Dortmund team, five years ago Dortmund was a declining giant, Klopp is still a coach that not many people know. Over the next five years, Klopp merged with Dortmund, with Klopp achieving Dortmund's revival and Dortmund's prestige.
Klopp used his ability and charm to reinvigorate Dortmund and awaken the sleeping soul of the "Bee Army" due to financial difficulties.
With him on the sidelines, the players will be very reassured.
Now, Jurgen Klopp has been sent to the stands and the team has just equalised, which has caused chaos for Borussia Dortmund.
In the ensuing game time, until the end of the first half, Dortmund behaved quite passively, which can be said to be different from the team's initiative and aggression at the beginning of the game.
Napoli pressed heavily and frequently laid siege to Dortmund's goal.
Had it not been for Borussia Dortmund's goalkeeper Weidenfeller's courageous performance, Dortmund's goal would have been penetrated again.
In the end, at the end of the first half, the score was temporarily fixed at 1:1.
However, looking at the situation in the second half of the first half, even the most optimistic Dortmund fans were worried about whether the team would be able to get out of Napoli's Sao Paulo stadium.
……
The Napoli players returned to the home dressing room with a relaxed expression and are now confident of winning the game.
In the away dressing room.
Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen. Klopp first took the initiative to apologize to the players, saying that because of his uncalm behavior, it was undeserved and irresponsible to let the team suffer losses.
Subsequently, Klopp praised Jiang Chenxi and the team, intending to relieve pressure on the team.
After calming the players, Klopp began to lay out the tactics for the second half.
'Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the team needs your speed, you need to be a little bit more active.
"Jiang, you stay in front, you are there, it is a deterrent to the Naples defense line."
"Reus, you and Mkhitaryan can switch positions depending on the situation and tear up the Napoli defense frequently."
On the other side, Napoli coach Rafael Benitez is also deploying tactics.
Benitez has never been a passionate man, he's sane, and he's a real data freak.
On the tactical board, it was densely drawn by Benitez.
Then, he turned on his laptop and connected it to the projector.
"Higuain, you should be running like this......"
"Hamsik, the team needs you to move deeper into the ribs."
"Callejon, you have to be more resolute on the flank......"
……
The managers of both sides did a lot of homework for the second half.
However, no one expected that the second half would start in such a format.
The second half was just one minute into the game, and the 46th minute of the game.
Hamsik and Callejon did a wall-to-wall combination and made a direct pass to form a single knife.
Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Weidenfeller saw that the situation was not good, rushed out of the penalty area, Higuain picked up, but Weidenfeller blocked it with his hand from outside the box.
Higuain and the Napoli players immediately raised their hands to signal to the referee.
Referee Webb ran over and reached into his pocket.
"Red card!"
"Red card! Referee Webber showed a red card and he sent off the Dortmund goalkeeper! ”
"Weidenfeller went out of the box and blocked Higuain's volley with his hand! Red! No problem with the red card! ”
……
The Napoli players cheered.
In the stands of the São Paulo Stadium, the home fans roared with joy.
On Dortmund's side, everyone was stunned.
Jiang Chenxi looked at the red card in the referee's hand and widened his eyes.
Captain Kyle was emotional and went to the referee to protest, however, he was shown a yellow card.
The penalty cannot be changed, and there is no problem with this decision.
Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Weidenfeller is sent off with a red card.
Dortmund assistant coach Kravitz could only blame the reluctance to make substitutions, the team's substitute goalkeeper Alomelovic did not even have time to warm up, and was ordered to be substituted on the field, replaced by the team's Gabonese player Aubameyang.
Aubameyang was a little helpless, this was the first Champions League game of his career, he didn't want to leave the field so early, but he could only accept such a passive substitution.
The camera gives a close-up of Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp in the stands, and the manager with an excited personality has a grim face.
……
'The manager was sent to the stands and now the goalkeeper has been sent off again, Dortmund's luck is terrible.
"Dortmund is in danger."
In the ensuing game, as the commentator had predicted, Dortmund was completely passive on the pitch, and Napoli almost formed a half-time siege on Dortmund.
Under such circumstances, Jiang Chenxi was alone near the middle circle, seemingly isolated.
"Jiang Chenxi will now take on the responsibility of Dortmund's counterattack and goal, but in this case, he is so lonely and helpless." He Wei shook his head and said.
Napoli's onslaught paid off with 69 minutes played.
Higuain's dribble was violated and Napoli were awarded a free-kick in front.
Insigne takes a direct free-kick from the right in front of the penalty area, and his curling ball goes over the wall and into the top right corner of the goal!
2:1!
Napoli overtook the score!
The São Paulo Stadium is boiling over, and the stadium is like an erupting active volcano.
"Two to one! Napoli overtake! ”
'The team started the second half with one man less and now that the score is finally down, Dortmund face a difficult situation.
……
Jiang Chenxi stood in the middle circle, his face was very serious.
The team is in such a difficult situation and someone needs to be able to step up.
Regardless of the outcome of the game, there is no time to think about it!
We can't go on like this, we have to fight back and respond.
Jiang Chenxi found the captain of the team, Kyle, pulled Royce and Mkhitaryan, and several people quickly had a small meeting.
This meeting unified the mind.
Offensive!
Must attack!
Although there is one less man in the team now, however, it is necessary to attack.
In such a situation, there will be no way out, and if you continue to hold on, the final result will be a loss.
It's better to give it a go.
Napoli are now leading in the score, leading in numbers, maybe the mind will be relaxed, maybe this is Dortmund's chance!
Although there is little hope, however, there must be a response!
……
After the kick-off in the center circle, Dortmund did not rush to counterattack immediately.
They want to give the Napolins the illusion that they have given up the game in order to hold on to the 1-2 scoreline and make sure they don't lose too badly.
The football is constantly being passed back.
A shrill boo rang out from the stands at the Stadio de São Paulo, a triumphant boo from the Neapolitans, in such a way that they expressed their inner pride and excitement and mocked the timid Dortmund.
The ball was passed back to the feet of centre-back Hummels.
Hummels looked up at the front, and at the same time, full-back Schmelzer came over to pick it up and raised his hand for the ball.
It looked like Borussia Dortmund were also intent on continuing to play in their own half.
With the score down, the Dortmund people's way of playing drew boos and laughter from Napoli fans.
"It's a shame." German commentator Erik. Lange covered his face and said bitterly, "It's a shame that this is not the Dortmund we know." ”
Just then, Hummels suddenly made a pass.
Attack from a long pass from your own penalty area.
The football flew straight into the Napoli half.
It was only at this time that Napoli's defenders suddenly woke up: several of Dortmund's attacking players, Mkhitaryan, Reuss and Jiang Chenxi were desperately pushing forward.
Mkhitaryan, who is a tall man, emerged victorious in the scramble with Behrami, pushing the ball forward to the left.
Royce plugged in at high speed, desperately trying to catch up with the football.
Maggio rushed up and he shoveled straight down.
"Beautiful!" The narrator shouted.
Royce picked up the ball and jumped himself, just in time to avoid Maggio's flying tackle.
Then, Reuss, who caught up with the football, did not hesitate at all, and directly hoisted the football into the penalty area with his left foot.
"Be careful!" Napoli goalkeeper Reina shouted in horror.
He saw Dortmund's Chinese shooters rushing up like leopards out of the cage.
This Chinese shooter, who looked a little thin, actually made him feel a chill at this moment.
Napoli defender Britos rushed up.
Soccer ball in the air.
Two people jump at the same time.
Jiang Chenxi's body collided with Britos, and he gritted his teeth.
Hold your head high with all your might.
Facing the soccer ball in the air, he shook his head suddenly.
The ball suddenly changed direction and flew towards the goal.
Napoli goalkeeper Reina threw his body out.
He didn't get to touch the football!
The ball didn't go in either!
The soccer ball bounces back on the post!
Reina breathed a sigh of relief.
Because he saw that Zuniga had desperately returned to the defense in place, and this time the defense was successful!
Then, in the next second, Reina's eyes widened.
Zuniga overrun.
The football fell behind Zuniga.
"Header out of the line!" Reyna shouted, preferring to give the opponent a corner kick and solve the crisis first, which is the first priority of defense!
No!
Zuniga didn't do that!
At this time, the Colombian defender had a flash of inspiration in his mind.
He leaned forward with all his might!
Throw the whole body out!
The hind legs that are cocked in the back are lifted slightly!
Scorpion tail wagging!
The standard action of a scorpion waging its tail!
The results of the Colombian in training, which was personally adjusted by Higuain, shined brightly at this moment!
The soccer ball is touched by Zuniga's upturned heel.
Then, abruptly, it changed direction......
Beautiful arcs.
Fall!
Crash into the net!
The ball is in!
