Chapter 161: A Strong Counterattack?
On the afternoon of May 6, the stands at the Dalara Stadium were packed, and nearly 2,000 fans could only stand to watch the game. Nearly 40,000 fans poured into www.biquge.info stadium, not only to witness the match that would stake Bologna into the Europa League, but also to say goodbye to captain Di Vaio for the last time. Di Vaio has publicly announced that he will leave the team at the end of the season.
In the warm-up before the game, Shi Hao felt very good, tried to shoot a few free kicks and hit all the dead corners, and his state was simply red and purple.
He was confident he could score in today's game.
At this moment, a system prompt sounded in his ears:
Hide task activation. Hidden Mission: Counterattack 1. Why don't you try a counterattack? The goal is to win the Serie A Golden Boot this season. Reward for mission success: Two hidden skills will be randomly selected. Penalty for mission failure: 5,000 Dream Points will be deducted. Acceptable?
Your sister! Shi Hao almost scolded. He has scored a total of 18 goals so far, ranking second in the scorers' charts. The first AC Milan's Ibrahimovic scored 22 goals.
There is a difference of 4 balls, how do you want him to chase? He really wanted to say to the system: Fuck your sister!
But after thinking about it, he hesitated.
Those are two hidden skills! If you redeem it yourself, you can get 30,000 Dream Points! Of course, the results of random drawing are not necessarily good, and it is likely to draw skills that are chicken ribs for you, or even exclusive skills for defenders or goalkeepers.
But...... Maybe you're lucky! After all, the skills he drew in the first 3 times were not bad. Do you want to gamble?
As the system prompt began to count the seconds, Shi Hao no longer hesitated and accepted the task.
Napoli, with their many big men, will not be easy to deal with, and they have climbed to the top of the table with their strength rather than luck. In the summer and winter transfers, they are both the first in Serie A, and the German is undoubtedly hoping for the team to compete for the title. But Mazari let him down.
In order to keep his position, Mazzarri has to fight for a Champions League spot. It was a game that Napoli were aiming to win, and no one was optimistic about Bologna except the Bologna themselves, and even most of the media predicted a big win for Napoli.
Because Cavani alone is worth as much as the entire Bologna team.
Because Mazari is much more famous than Pioli.
Because Napoli is really much stronger.
Because only Campagnaro is injured in Napoli's main lineup, while Bologna's main goalkeeper Gillette and main midfielder Perez are injured, Ramirez, vice-captain Potanova and important rotation player Koné are suspended for accumulating yellow cards, which goes to almost half of the team.
After Di Vaio slowly ran across the pitch and said goodbye to the home fans, the game began in earnest.
Both sides lined up in a 3412 formation for this game to attack against each other. Shi Hao was pushed up front to partner Di Vayo, with Diamanti playing as a midfielder.
Napoli partnered Gargano and Inle in midfield, with Maggio and Zuniga on the left and right, and Hamsik in midfield, with 17 goals and third-highest scorer Edinson Cavani and Inter Milan loan partner Pandev.
From the very beginning of the game, Napoli launched a fierce attack, and in less than three minutes, Cavani's long-range shot almost broke the net. In the sixth minute, defender Cannavaro attacked Bologna's half and fired a shot from the edge of the box that bounced off the crossbar.
Bologna, of course, were not willing to rest on their laurels, and they pressed high up front and quickly put their momentum into play.
In the 9th minute, Shi Hao received a pass from Moreo and stuffed the ball directly to Di Vaio without stopping. Di Vaio received the ball and took it into the box and shot near the penalty spot, but unfortunately he was interfered with by Britos when he shot, and the ball was soft and was held by De Sanctis.
In the 17th minute, Shi Hao played a one-two with Moreo on the left side, burst to the edge of the penalty area, and knocked it to Diamanti. Diamanti took a lateral step and suddenly got up to hit the goal, and the ball was saved by De Sanctis. Just as De Sanctis stumbled to his feet to hold the ball in his hands, a figure in a blue and red shirt rushed over and stabbed the ball into the bottom of the net. He could only watch in a daze as the figure with the number 19 printed on his back rushed away.
Thunderous applause and cheers rang out at the Dalara Stadium, "Shi-Hao, our hero!" "Shi-Hao, an incomparable genius!"
Shi Hao enjoyed the cheers of the fans, and suddenly felt reluctant. It was his last game at the Darala Stadium. If you come back here in the future, you will probably be an opponent.
Bologna slackened for a while after the goal, and Napoli took the opportunity to play a couple of dangerous attacks.
In the 27th minute, Cavani successfully countered offside and rode alone, but substitute goalkeeper Aggliati hit the crossbar against Bologna, squandering a golden opportunity to equalise.
The goal sent Bologna into a cold sweat up and down, and they began to focus more on defense and no longer dare to take Cavani lightly.
The two sides exchanged attacks and defences, and Bologna withstood a stormy attack from Napoli towards the end of the first half and went into the second half with a score of 1:0.
At the start of the second half, Napoli were still playing flashy attacking football, but they were never able to break through Agriati's ten fingers.
On the contrary, Bologna's counterattack played well, and in the 64th minute, Bologna broke the ball at the back, and Mudingayi's long pass found Di Vayo. Di Vaio ran all the way to the bottom line and knocked back, Shi Hao received the ball a little outside the small penalty area, pushed it lightly, penetrated the Napoli goal again, and also refreshed his goal record this season to 20.
Napoli, who are two goals down, are even more frenzied and have no way back. But it gave Bologna a better chance to counter-attack.
In the 73rd minute, after Shi Hao got the ball in the middle circle, he used a feint to flick the tail of the ox past Zemaeli, who came off the bench, and ran 30 meters with the ball and suddenly plugged it straight.
Captain Di Vaio cut in and received the ball from the penalty spot, and he was very calm during a one-on-one conversation with De Sanctis, but his shot was kicked off the post and Cavani was given a goal.
Shi Haoting regretted that he was unable to score a perfect end to his career at Bologna.
In the rest of the game, Napoli played more and more chaotic, and although the attack was non-stop, the threat to Bologna became less and less. In the 89th minute, Zuniga kicked Shi Hao over with a ferocious tackle, triggering a conflict between the players of the two sides, and finally Moreo, who was unhappy for Shi Hao, and Demaili, who came out for Zuniga, were sent off with red cards, but the initiators Zuniga and Shi Hao were fine.
The two red cards cut Napoli's hopes even harder, and they barely managed to hold on until the referee blew the whistle three times and fled into the tunnel, while the Bologna players stayed on the pitch to enjoy the cheers of the fans.
Bologna has proven to be a "strong team nemesis". (To be continued.) )
