Chapter 716: Blue Shield Attack
Sky Sports' dismissal Baroni immediately said: "Okay, this is the starting list of the away team Shakhtar Donetsk, now let me introduce to you the starting list of the home team Napoli." ”
Baroni began to introduce amid the cheers of the fans at the stadium: "Today Sarri came out in a four-four-two formation, with Sepe in the goalkeeper's position and Szczesny on the bench. ”
Sky Sports' Baroni continued: "In the back four are Hisay, Albiol, Ghulam and Rui. ”
'Napoli's centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly is on the injured list, while Edouard Mendy was on the bench waiting for his chance today.
"In the midfield four, it's Alain, Diawara, Hamsik and Zielinski!"
Sky Sports' Baroni said: "Insigne was not in the starting line-up today, he was on the bench, while Zielinski was back in the starting line-up. ”
"The two on the forward line are Jiang Chen and Mertens." Sky Sports' dismissal Baroni said: "Today Jiang Chen is back in the team's starting line-up, it seems that the last game gave Maurizio Sarri confidence. ”
"Yes, in the last game against the Milan team, Jiang Chen's performance was really inexplicable, and in this game, Jiang Chen's start was also what I expected."
Sky Sports' dismissal Montoli said: "But what worries me today is that the Napoli backline, the two central defenders, is uneasy. ”
'It's true that these two have rarely played together at centre-back before, and we don't know how the two work together, but that's an uncertainty in the Napoli squad and that's where the biggest crisis for Napoli is today. Sky Sports' dismissal Baroni also said
At this time, the players of both sides were already in the stadium, taking their places, waiting for the game to begin.
Shakhtar Donetsk striker Kayode stood in the centre circle of the pitch and it was clear that Shakhtar Donetsk got the ball first.
The referee looked left and right and found nothing unusual, then he looked down at the time again and blew the whistle in his mouth.
Kayode immediately put the ball a little bit and then raced into the Napoli half, while Zubkov passed the ball back.
Jiang Chen and Mertens also rushed into the half of Shakhtar Donetsk at a rapid pace, rushing to the football frantically.
"The referee blew the whistle and the first half began, and the first kick-off was the away Shakhtar Donetsk, who was wearing an orange jersey and attacking from the left side of the screen, while Napoli was wearing a light blue jersey and attacking from the right side of the screen to the left." Sky Sports' dismissal Baroni Road.
As soon as the game began, the Napoli fans broke out into a frenzied shout to give Shakhtar Donetsk a dismount first, so that the players of Shakhtar Donetsk could see that their Sao Paulo Stadium is also the home of the devil.
However, Shakhtar Donetsk's players were not disturbed too much and they threw themselves into the game.
As soon as they came up, the players of Shakhtar Donetsk did have a bit of an anti-guest posture, and they attacked frantically as soon as they came up.
As soon as the ball rolled to the feet of midfielder Freit, he immediately turned the ball upside down in midfield and slowly pressed forward in formation, with both full-backs pressing on it.
Suddenly, Stepanenko, under the pressure of Jiang Chen, suddenly passed the football to the front wing.
There, the captain of Shakhtar Donetsk, Buteko, immediately rushed forward with the ball, rushed to the Napoli team's half, and killed the Napoli team's penalty area.
"It's fast! Butko rushes up, this ball is dangerous! Sky Sports' dismissal Baroni immediately exclaimed loudly.
Buteko's ability is very strong, this is a member of the Ukrainian national team, the absolute core of Shakhtar Donetsk, he can play the position of full-back, he can also play the position of the side of the midfield, he is very fast, he is also physical, and he has good strength.
According to many teams in Europe's top five leagues, there is a strong interest in him, according to Leipzig, Bremen in the Bundesliga, as well as Sampdoria, Genoa, Chievo and other teams in Serie A.
Buteko immediately sprinted down the flank, and the Napoli defenders were shocked, and Napoli's full-back Rui immediately pounced, and the two full-backs faced off in midfield.
But after seeing Rui rush out, Butko immediately gently passed the ball to the middle, and Zubkov caught it.
Rui immediately turned to pounce on Zubkov, who immediately passed the ball back to the wing, and the ball quickly rolled past Rui's foot and straight behind him.
"Two over one, it's dangerous! Butko passed! Sky Sports' dismissal Baroni roared.
The fans of the Napoli team at the scene also immediately broke out in horror, they were very frightened, they didn't expect Shakhtar Donetsk to get such a good opportunity so quickly.
Cut inside, Buteco cut directly inside with the ball.
Rui immediately gritted his teeth and desperately chased back, while Ghulam in the middle immediately pounced and came up to intercept Butko.
Buteko immediately changed direction, took the football to the baseline, evaded Gulam's interception, chased the football frantically, and when the football was about to go out of the baseline, he crossed with his feet!
"Cross! Buteko crosses! Look at the ball! Sky Sports commentator Baroni shouted.
The ball immediately flew out from Butko's feet and flew straight to the middle of the penalty area.
There Shakhtar Donetsk's striker Kayode, who quickly followed, headed straight to the top of the ball.
"Cayode, header!" Sky Sports commentator Montoli also shouted.
Cayode is the kind of striker who is not too tall, but he is strong and fast, but in terms of heading, Cayode is definitely not as strong as him.
Although Cayode is 1.8 meters tall, he is not very good at handling high-altitude balls.
Now, Cayode swooped straight out and leaped to the top.
The Napoli fans at the scene were shocked, because Cayode's movements were very relaxed, and Albiol behind him had no chance at all.
With a thud, Cayode's head slammed into the ball, which scurried towards the Napoli goal.
Sepe, the young goalkeeper of the Napoli team, immediately stretched out his fists and struck hard at the football.
With another bang, the ball was slammed out of the penalty area by Sepe, and the ball immediately flew out.
