Chapter 671: International Champions Cup (XVII)
As soon as Zielinski got past those players, he cut inside with the ball into the Celtic box and faced the Celtic goalkeeper Za.
The goalkeeper immediately moved laterally, blocking the corner of the goal and not giving Zielinski space to shoot.
Seeing that there was no chance, Zelinsky directly got up with his foot, crossed with one foot, and passed the football to Jiang Chen in the middle.
However, Jiang Chen had a Celtic defender in front of him, Jiang Chen didn't have the angle to shoot, Jiang Chen directly raised his leg and pretended to shoot, his legs flashed, and the football was missed.
The football quickly rolled under Jiang Chen's feet and rolled towards Mertens behind him, seeing the football rolling over, Mertens directly repelled the sweeping shot and swept the football towards the Celtic goal.
The football flew towards the Celtic goal, and the Celtic fans immediately sank to the bottom, knowing that the team was going to concede a goal.
But at this time, the Celtics actually had a goal-line hero, who actually shoveled the football out of the goal-line and rolled out of the bottom line.
The Napoli fans were silent at the scene, they were all shocked at this moment, they didn't expect the Celtic team to be able to clear the football at this time, they were really scared.
Mertens, who shot the goal, also frowned, he didn't expect that the ball would be cleared by the Celtic players, and he was ready to raise his hands to celebrate the goal.
It's a pity that the players of the Celtics team shattered Mertens's dream, Mertens couldn't help but turn his head and glared at the other party fiercely, today he has had two good opportunities, but unfortunately he didn't grasp one of them, and he himself was a little uncomfortable.
Sky Sports commentator Baroni sighed: "I feel that Mertens is in a much better state today, but his luck today is very bad, and he didn't take advantage of such an opportunity, which is really a pity." ”
Corner, Napoli get a corner.
Hamsik went to the corner and he came to take the corner.
Jiang Chen and the attacking players of the Napoli team poured into the Celtic penalty area to compete for this opportunity.
Hamsik directly kicked the ball in an arc and sent the football directly to the back post of the goal, and Jiang Chen jumped up at the back post, directly pressed the top of Taishan, and smashed the football into the Celtic goal.
"Tatsuna, header ----! goal" Baroni, the Sky Sports commentator, roared loudly and shouted excitedly.
With a bang, the football flew rapidly towards the Celtic goal, and the Celtic goalkeeper immediately jumped up high and slapped the flying football with both hands.
Syllable----!
The ball slammed into the goalkeeper's arm, but the force of the ball was so great that it hit his arm, but it flew into the Celtic goal.
1-0, Napoli once again took the lead with Jiang Chen's goal, and Napoli led Celtic 1-0.
The Napoli fans were very excited, very excited, and they immediately jumped up and cheered with excitement.
The fans of the Napoli team are very happy, Jiang Chen's performance is simply great, this is good news for their team, great news.
The game continued as Celtic launched a counter-offensive in an attempt to tie the score.
Celtic began a big counter-attack, frantically attacking the Napoli goal, and Celtic invested a lot of troops in the attack, but with little effect.
At this time, Napoli instead got more chances to threaten the Celtic goal.
After a very delicate combination between the midfielders and Insigne, Hamsik led the ball into the Celtic half, and then drew the attention of the Celtic players before immediately crossing the ball to the wing.
The ball rolled directly to Allan's feet, and Allan immediately led the ball to the Celtic penalty area.
Allan was very fast, he broke through the defense of the Celtic defenders, he cut directly into the Celtic penalty area, and faced the attacking goalkeeper Allan directly crossed.
The football rolled quickly to the middle, Jiang Chen accelerated suddenly, and directly fell to the ground and shoveled the football into the empty goal.
2-0, Napoli led by two goals before the end of the first half, and Napoli basically guaranteed to win the International Champions Cup.
However, the second half of the game did change dramatically, and the Celtics replaced young players who did not have many opportunities, and it can be seen that the Celtics are ready to train newcomers.
But the young players who were replaced did not give up, this game is very important for them, this is a rare opportunity, maybe in this limited opportunity, they can survive in a desperate situation.
After the young players came on the field, they were very desperate, directly and frantically attacking the goal of the Napoli team, but it brought very big trouble to the Napoli team, and at this time, the Celtic team finally seized the opportunity.
In the penalty area, Celtic intercepted the clearance ball of Napoli defender Hisaj, and then directly pushed the ball into the Napoli goal.
The Celtics pulled a goal back, which came as a bit of a surprise to Celtic fans, who didn't expect such a reaction from the young players when they came on the pitch.
After the goal, Celtic's players naturally increased their confidence and began to attack like crazy, hoping to equalize as soon as possible.
At this time, the Napoli team will naturally step up their attack and will not give Celtic any chance.
The two sides immediately went on a fierce attack, with both sides having good chances, but Napoli were significantly more capable of taking their chances.
In the thirtieth minute of the second half, Napoli striker Mertens finally seized the opportunity, he received Jiang Chen's header at the back point, and directly volleyed the football into the Celtic goal.
At three to one, Napoli extended their lead, much to the dismay of Celtic fans.
However, Celtic are not discouraged, they are still attacking wildly, besieging the Napoli goal, hoping to score more goals.
However, they were not as capable as Napoli, and instead of scoring, they allowed Napoli to score once again.
Although it was not Jiang Chen's goal this time, nor Jiang Chen's assist, this goal still had something to do with Jiang Chen, and he planned this goal.
Jiang Chen's header ferried the football to Zelinsky on the side, Zelinsky did not stop the ball, directly crossed with his feet, and Mertens in the middle jumped to the top, scored twice, 4-1 Napoli sealed the win.
