Chapter 844: Defeat Catalonia
Of course, this time the Barcelona team is not full of main players, their midfielder Coutinho, is injured and will not participate in this game, while Rakitic is suspended for accumulating yellow cards and did not appear in this game, which is good news for the Napoli team.
After the start of the game, the Barcelona team, which was playing at home, instantly took the initiative on the field and began to storm the goal of the Napoli team.
In the tenth minute of the first half of the game, the Barcelona team, which was playing at home, broke through the goal of the Napoli team, and the Barcelona team played a series of exquisite cooperation in the front of the Napoli team's penalty area, and they tore apart the Napoli team's defense with continuous passes, and finally Buzquec made a cross and passed the football to Messi who came in.
The Argentine king is short in stature, but he is agile and quick on his feet, and he directly kicks and pushes the ball into the goal before Mendy's outstretched foot, 1-0.
No one expected that the Napoli team would concede the goal so quickly, and they were all a little surprised.
Of course, there are more people who think that the Napoli team is finished again this time, and they still can't cross the hurdle of the Barcelona team, and it seems that the Barcelona team is really the biggest sufferer of the Napoli team.
As the game continued, Barcelona were fully in control of the initiative on the pitch, while Napoli were tired of defending, and even if they had a chance to counter-attack, they were not a great threat to Barcelona.
In the 25th minute of the first half, Barcelona scored again, this time it was still Argentine Messi, Messi's direct free kick broke through the Napoli goal, extending the score to 2-0.
After that, Napoli's offensive counterattack had a certain effect, and the threat gradually increased.
And just before the end of the first half, Mertens scored a goal to pull the score back to a point, which also gave Napoli hope.
But after the start of the second half, Butskec and Messi instantly destroyed the hopes of the Neapolitans.
First, Butskec hit the back of the net with a heavy shot from Napoli, and then Messi completed his hat-trick with a tackle in the box.
In the end, Butskec scored a brace after a leak in the box.
In the end, Napoli suffered a heavy defeat in Spain, 1-5, which basically destroyed Napoli's hopes of qualifying, which made Napoli fans miserable.
Jiang Chen, who was in front of the TV, was also surprised when he saw such a score, he didn't expect that the Napoli team would lose so badly, and his mood was very bad.
In the next few days, Jiang Chen's mood was not very good.
The Napoli players were not in a good mood either, and at this time the league kicked off at the weekend, Napoli won 3-1 away from home, ending the embarrassment of a winless streak and withstanding the pressure from the Milan team behind them.
After this round of matches, Jiang Chen's injury was finally healed, and now Jiang Chen has been training with the Napoli team.
In training, Jiang Chen showed that he was still in good shape, which seemed to give hope to the fans of the Napoli team.
Now Napoli fans are preparing for the next game, which is the second leg of this season's UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Napoli will face Barcelona at their home stadium, the Sao Paulo Stadium.
In the first leg of the match between the two sides, Barcelona defeated Napoli with a score of 5-1, and it can be said that Barcelona has basically stepped into the Champions League semi-finals with both feet.
But at this time, Napoli's Jiang Chen returned from injury, which made Napoli's fans and players regain confidence.
Napoli player Mertens, in an interview with media reporters before the game, said: "Chen's timely return will give us a lot of motivation for the Napoli team, and our attacking strength will improve a lot, and we are confident that we can beat Barcelona and qualify for the promotion." ”
Hamsik also spoke to the media and said: "Chen's timely return is really important for our Napoli team. It's a big help for us Napoli, even though we're a bit behind but I think we still have a chance and we'll qualify for the last four of the Champions League, so we have to believe in miracles. ”
Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri also said: "Barcelona team is very strong, now they also have a big advantage, but this is not our Napoli team has no chance, before our Napoli team lineup is not complete, now Chen is back from injury, the strength of our Napoli team will rise a big level, we are confident to beat Barcelona team, advance to the last four of the Champions League!" ”
Jiang Chen, who returned from injury, also accepted an interview with media reporters, he said: "I have been off for a while, my injury has healed, and my recent form is also very good, although the difference between us and Barcelona is a bit big, but I don't think we have no chance at all, everything is possible." ”
Jiang Chen returned from injury, and the Barcelona people also got the news, but they were not worried about this at all, they all thought that even if Jiang Chen came back, it would have little impact on them, and it was still their Barcelona team that advanced.
Barcelona coach Valverde, in an interview with media reporters, said: "Chen's strength is really powerful, they are indeed a big threat to our Barcelona team, but I am now a lot ahead, and our strength is still above the Napoli team, so I don't think the Napoli team will have any chances, this game is still our Barcelona." ”
Barcelona midfielder Rakitic said in an interview with media reporters: "Chen's comeback is definitely good news for the Napoli team, and their strength will also be strengthened. However, I still think there is a big gap between them and us. Even if Jiang Chen returns, the Napoli team will not be able to recover the defeat, and it must be our Barcelona who will advance to the semifinals of the Champions League, and we are very confident. ”
Messi, the superstar of the Barcelona team, also gave an interview to media reporters, he said: "Chen's strength is still there, his comeback will definitely help the Napoli team, which is bad news for us, but we don't think the Napoli team can beat us, we are very confident in this game, we think that the winner must be Barcelona, it must be." ”
