Chapter 77: Making a Penalty

Did Napoli give up this game?

In a way, yes.

In fact, Sarri was also forced to be helpless, only played the 26th round of Serie A with Juventus last weekend, and this Saturday ushered in the 27th round of Serie A with AC Milan, in order to maintain the gap with the league leader Juventus, he can only choose one of the Europa League and Serie A, let Higuain rest in the second half, and face AC Milan in the best condition.

This is also a more embarrassing point in the current Europa League, the five major leagues have the strength of the champions, and they can't look down on the Champions League champions, only Villarreal has no hope of winning the championship, and Liverpool has not won the championship for many years, and the honor of the Europa League will be more important.

Since Napoli's desire to win is not strong enough, Villarreal will naturally not be polite.

For a time, Reina, who was standing in front of the Napoli goal, became the busiest player in the game.

First, the yellow submarine cooperated on the right side, and the ball was distributed to the feet of dos Santos on the right, and Dos Santos sent a cross, and with Soldado and Dai Zhiwei behind him, Kirichesh made a crucial clearance in the penalty area, and his header cleared the danger to resolve the danger.

But 1 minute later, the yellow submarine made a comeback, and it was Dos Santos who won the ball on the right side and passed to the edge of the penalty area, and Bruno did not fully adjust the angle of the shot under the pull of López, and his powerful long-range shot was blocked by Strinić, but watching Strinić fall to the ground seemed to be blinded by Bruno's shot.

However, Strinic's struggling shot bounced off the edge of Villarreal, with Suarez delivering a threatening pass from the left and Koulibaly falling to the ground in front of goal.

Villarreal's corner was won by Reina one step ahead of Dai Zhiwei.

Although Dai Zhiwei missed this opportunity, Villarreal, who was sitting at the home Love Song Stadium, began the craziest offensive period of the game: in the 63rd minute, Dai Zhiwei forced a breakthrough with the ball on the right side, but Hai Sai made up for it and destroyed the ball in time.

Two minutes later, Bruno cut inside from the right and passed to Soldado, who fired high from distance in front of the box.

In less than 30 seconds, Dai Zhiwei broke the ball in front of the court and passed to Triguros, who was inserted in the back, but the quality of the pass was not high and was directly obtained by Reina.

Napoli also quickly adjusted, and the yellow submarine played against the attack, Gabbiadini sent a pass from the left, Napoli's two strikers grabbed points in the penalty area, but unfortunately did not form an attack, Insigne and Mertens watched the close pass slide past their toes in front of the goal, and Sarri on the sidelines also kicked in the void to express his frustration.

Napoli again set up a run down the right and Hamsik played the ball to Valdi Fiori, but the latter's cross was cleared by Costa and passed to defender Luis Suarez.

Villarreal then launched a counter-attack, and Dos Santos ran out of space on the right, but Dai Zhiwei did not pass the ball in time.

This is not because Dai Zhiwei is "alone", but because at this time, his vision cannot find teammates who run out of the vacant position.

Dai Zhiwei, who only knew that he was rushing forward with the ball, was tackled to the ground by Napoli fullback Strinic, and the referee did not hesitate to award Villarreal a free kick about 30 meters away from the goal.

The free-kick was a little far from the goal, and Trigueros got up and crossed quickly, but it was clear that Soldado and Dai Zhiwei did not cooperate well enough, and Suarez in the box deliberately slipped to Dai Zhiwei near the penalty spot.

But Dai Zhiwei didn't realize that his teammates were cooperating with him, and he didn't react until the ball came in front of him, and his hurried arch of his foot hit the outstretched leg of the chasing Haisay, and bounced off the bottom line.

Dai Zhiwei, who missed the best opportunity in the second half, also hugged his head and yelled, and then apologized to Suarez who deliberately missed the ball.

Villarreal then threatened another goal, Dai Zhiwei sent a cross down the right, but Soldado's left-footed shot from the edge of the box went wide of the post.

In the second half, the two teams switched between attack and defense at an accelerated pace, compared to Villarreal had more chances, and Dai Zhiwei was used to this rhythm and performed more and more brightly.

Because of the lack of investment in the attack, the players were stingy with physical strength, which led to Napoli's passive defense, and finally Villarreal seized a chance in the 77th minute.

Dai Zhiwei took the ball on the right side of the edge of the penalty area and faced Kirichesh again, who stood with his legs wide open in order to defend Dai Zhiwei's right-angle prosthesis.

Kirichesz is already on the line of the penalty area, and if he uses the foul tactics of the previous one, who can't pass the ball or the ball can't pass the ball, he will most likely give the opponent a penalty.

"Thought I'd be the one in the system?" Dai Zhiwei raised his eyes, "Don't blame me, man." ”

Dai Zhiwei controlled the ball with his right foot, and suddenly changed direction during the high-speed start, which was the prelude to the right-angle prosthesis.

Although Kirichesh could not completely prevent Dai Zhiwei's right-angle prosthesis, he was also experienced, and as soon as he took a step with his left leg, he was ready to cut off Dai Zhiwei's change of direction.

However, he didn't expect Dai Zhiwei to stand on his right foot, and poked the ball forward with his left foot on the tip of his left foot, and the ball rolled between Kirichesh's legs that were very open!

Kiritchesh suddenly felt a chill between his legs!

Wear the crotch!

Just when Kirichesh felt extremely humiliated, Dai Zhiwei's face also changed.

"It's big!"

Dai Zhiwei originally wanted to rush past Kirichesz to get the football through the crotch, but as soon as he started, he found that the football rolled faster than he expected, and in the current situation, another Napoli defender, Haisae, has a far greater chance of getting the football than himself.

What to do?

Dai Zhiwei, who was already about to go around Kirichesh's body, changed his trajectory slightly, and then he hooked the back of his shoe to Kirichesh's right leg, which was still dragging behind.

The next moment, Dai Zhiwei fell in the Napoli penalty area!

"Dididi!"

As soon as Dai Zhiwei got up from the ground, he heard the referee's whistle and immediately saw the opponent pointing to the penalty spot.

"Beautiful!" Dai Zhiwei clenched his right fist and roared.

Although almost all the Napoli players surrounded the referee to protest against Dai Zhiwei's fake fall, they still couldn't change the penalty of penalty + red card.

Slow motion showed that Dai Zhiwei did indeed trip over Kirichesh's outstretched calf, and there was no doubt that the penalty was awarded.

The only thing worth questioning is that Dai Zhiwei could have avoided the foul, but he still chose to be tripped.

Although Dai Zhiwei is extremely disgusted with Busquets and other fake wrestling actors who were not violated by the other party but seemed to have been shot, he still gladly accepted this kind of behavior of taking the initiative to find the opponent to foul and make penalties.

After all, if it weren't for Kirichesh's left leg dragging behind, he would have been able to control the ball without going around in circles.

"I'll do it!" Dai Zhiwei did not give the penalty to others, on the one hand, the penalty was created by himself, and on the other hand, Villarreal did not have a particularly clear first penalty taker in the team.

So far this season, Villarreal have only won two penalties and scored just one, so there is no one in the team who can compete with Dai Zhiwei to qualify for this penalty.

The captain of the team, Bruno Soriano, has this qualification, but he takes the penalty as a defender and midfielder, and it is not as good as letting Dai Zhiwei kick blindfolded!

Dai Zhiwei came to the penalty spot with the football in his arms, and he didn't take any strategy, just a big tiger shot, although the hit was a bit positive, but the speed was too fast, and Reyna didn't have time to react at all.

With Dai Zhiwei easily scoring this penalty, the score was rewritten to 2:0, and victory was already expected.

However, there was nothing to do with Dai Zhiwei then, Napoli stayed in order to play the 27th round of Serie A against AC Milan on Saturday, and Villarreal did not play against their league opponents at the weekend.

Because they will face Simmons' Atletico Madrid in the 25th round of La Liga.

Dai Zhiwei has no problem with being substituted this time, because he knows that Marcelino is hoping that he can perform well at Calderón at the weekend.

After Bakambu replaced Dai Zhiwei, the tempo of the game began to slow down, and neither team had too good chances to score.

Napoli took the lead on the counter-attack, Hamsik won the ball on the right and sent it over, but unfortunately the ball was a little slow and Areola came out to get the ball before Mertens.

Villarreal also played a brilliant attack, Suarez won the ball on the edge of the penalty area and suddenly changed direction to get rid of the double bag, and then sent a precise long ball to the right side of the opponent's penalty area.

Bakambu, who had just come on the pitch, was full of energy and volleyed the ball back into the middle of the box, where Trigueros caught up with a powerful shot that grazed the post and flew off the line.

In the 86th minute, Marcelino made another change to the players on the field, and Leao came on to replace the injured dos Santos.

Poor Leao was still the main striker of the Yellow Submarine before, but unfortunately Dai Zhiwei, who was introduced by the team during the injury period, has now firmly occupied the starting position, and the current Yellow Submarine No. 10 can only wait for an opportunity on the bench.

In the final 10 minutes of the game, Napoli also made another substitution, and Maurizio Sarri did not step up his attack to pull a goal back, but replaced Hamsik and Mertens in the opposite position, and continued to reserve for the weekend's Serie A game.

Just as the clock entered a total of 3 minutes of stoppage time, Villarreal instigated the last attack of the game on the right, Suarez sent a pass over the top, but unfortunately the power was too much and was directly received by Reina.

Before Reyna could drive the ball out again, the referee blew the final whistle.

At the end of the game, Villarreal beat Napoli 2:0, but anyone can go through the motions of Napoli in the second half, so the final result is not easy to say, and the two sides will still play in the next leg.
