Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Dream Start
After some light warm-up before the game, head coach Inzaghi began to work out the details of the evening's game.
In this game, Shao Yifan and Chen Wei were undoubtedly qualified to start. After a few games, they also played with their confidence and style, and they were recognized by everyone.
In this match against Shenhua, Inzaghi has been emphasizing its importance and warning the players not to take the opponent lightly. Although Shenhua's performance in the first half of the season was very sluggish, the barefoot performance was not much better, right?
Moreover, during the summer window, Shenhua successively introduced Shaarawy from the Serie A giants Roma and Kim Shinyu from Jeonbuk Hyundai in South Korea, and also replaced Choi Kang-hee, the head coach who once single-handedly created the glory of Jeonbuk Hyundai. It can be said that the current strength of Shenhua, at least on paper, is far better than the first half of the season.
Perhaps the previous victory over SIPG also caused quite a stir in Chixian, and the attendance of this game once again hit a new high, with nearly 50,000 people coming to the scene, and it can be said that the attendance in this round of the Chinese Super League can definitely rank in the top three. Of course, this must also be indispensable to the barefoot official selling tickets at low prices, and even giving away some free tickets to attract fans.
But in any case, at least tonight's Sky Stadium does have a bit of the appearance of the first home stadium in the Chinese Super League.
When the Shenhua players came to step on the field before, a player looked at the huge stadium full of modern atmosphere in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "Such a good stadium is really enviable!" ”
El Shaarawy, a foreign aid from Serie A, also nodded approvingly, and said sincerely: "This stadium is also very top-notch in Europe." ”
Other Shenhua players also sighed when they heard this. Before the establishment of the Sky Stadium, there was always a debate about which was the best home stadium in the Chinese Super League.
Although the home stadiums of Evergrande, Guoan, and SIPG are not small, they are not professional football stadiums, and the runway between the stands and the stadium is really embarrassing. As the only professional stadium used in the Chinese Super League, Shenhua's home stadium, Hongkou Stadium, is a little small, only able to accommodate 30,000 people.
Until the establishment of the Sky Stadium, a large modern stadium with a capacity of 60,000 people, instantly sat firmly on the throne of the first home stadium of the Chinese Super League. Everyone who came to this competition was full of praise for the way it looked.
However, another Shenhua player snorted coldly and said, "What's the use of a good court? The team is not a mess yet. ”
Hearing this, the other Shenhua players laughed dryly twice and did not speak. They don't have a bottom in their hearts for the next game.
Looking back at the current Sky Stadium, the sky blue flags in the stands have been waved high, the drums sounded, and the atmosphere was very hot. In the player tunnel, players from both sides are also ready to enter.
Shao Yifan clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and gently stroked the white shield emblem on his chest to cheer himself up.
As the instructions were given, the players from both sides began to enter, and after high-fiveing each other, they all stood in the center of the field.
After the singing of the national anthem and other procedures are completed, the game also officially begins with the referee's whistle.
"Audience friends, this is a P sports, you are now watching the 22nd round of the Chinese Super League, Chixian Barefoot sat at home against Shanghai Shenhua, I am the commentator...... "This game CCTV did not broadcast live, but was specifically explained by an online TV.
On the field, the barefoot side took possession of the ball first and quickly launched the first wave of attacks.
In the Chinese Super League, each team is still relatively dependent on foreign aid. For example, it is clear that the barefoot before and after Bell's arrival were completely two different things. Of course, it can also be said that Inzaghi's tactical adjustment is the credit, but a high-level foreign aid in the Chinese Super League can really make a team complete a big leap. Hot search
As he spoke, the barefoot frontcourt pushed forward in tight passing. In this game, Barefoot sent a combination of one forward and two midfielders of Bale, Recio and Hudson. This is also a tactical need for Inzaghi.
However, the results soon came in.
How fast exactly?
In the third minute of the opening game, Hudson took the ball in the middle of the field and dribbled continuously, and then stuffed it directly to Chen Wei in front, Chen Wei only dipped the ball and passed the ball to Bale further ahead.
The Shenhua players next to Bale quickly stepped forward to intercept and then ...... He fell! The soles of the feet slipped, and one fell without standing firm!
"What's the situation?! Did the Shenhua player slip? The commentary was also a bit of a surprise, although such mistakes on the pitch were not uncommon, "Bale! Now Bale quickly dribbles forward! ”
Bale naturally won't let go of such a good opportunity and quickly dribble the ball into the opponent's penalty area! The Shenhua players were clearly surprised by their team-mate's mistakes, and although they tried to make amends, it was too late.
At this point, there was no one in front of Bell. All the way to the goal, facing the goalkeeper's block, calmly hit the goal at a small angle, the ball passed through the goalkeeper's crotch and successfully fell into the net!
"The ball is in! Bel!! The commentator's excited voice made people wonder if he was a barefoot fan, "Bale helped the team get off to a dream start!" ”
In the fourth minute of the game, Bale opened the scoring and took a one-goal lead.
Of course, there must be a reason for his goal, which is due to the mistakes of the opposing defenders. But scoring goals in two consecutive games can really show his strength. In addition, this mistake can also see the huge hole in Shenhua's defense.
Inzaghi touched his head in surprise, he didn't expect the start to be so smooth.
The 50,000 fans in the stadium also erupted in a tsunami of cheers to celebrate the team's goal.
After a brief celebration, the red players quickly returned to the game. Now their confidence in the game is even higher.
Under the combing of the powerful midfield, Barefoot firmly grasped the situation on the field. Shenhua kicked very passively.
Although they had a few good opportunities, they didn't take advantage of them. Instead, they were more inclined to play defensive counter-attacks. However, in the case of falling behind by one goal, Barefoot is not afraid that they will not fight out.
As a result, in the first half of the game, except for Bale's lightning goal in the opening game, both sides were in a state of stalemate. Although there are many opportunities, they cannot be seized.
In this way, with a score of 1-0, the first half of the game was ended barefoot.
Whether it is for Shenhua or Barefoot, there will be a huge adjustment in the second half. The barefoot needed to hold on to the lead and win the game, and Shenhua, they couldn't even accept a draw.
The game has become exciting.
